Was on loan at Dundee utd in 2008. Don't remember much about him but I'm sure we've been linked with him in the past

We were linked with him a few years ago before he singed for Sunderland. Sure he can play as a winger or striker.

I dont normally comment on players until they have played for us and i have seen how they perform.

Yet on this occasion i have seen him plenty of times, and by god he's hopeless. Quick Pat, get O'Brien back before he leaves the country. :rolleyes:

As many as we want as long as they're not from our own country.

On loan. No risk.

He can play wide left and up front I think. He must be better than the ever injured Galbraith.

So if we can sign -

Stephen McManus, Michael O'Connor, Jorge Claros, Rory O'Donovan, Nana Attakora & Pa Saikou Kujab

I'll be happy!

I hope your wrong!

Unless he's improved then i fear he's a dud. I saw enough of him down here to have that opinion, hopefully he has improved. :pray:

Well at least that's an improvement on Sproule's current form.

Concentrate on the positives......

Lets be honest, He has to be better than Galbraith and Sproule, Who IMO are a waste of a jersey.

Tend to agree doesnt appear the most inspiring however think he has started some games for Coventry this year which is a decent standard. Just hope PF can get the best out of him. Noticed that he had a successful loan at Hartlepool a couple of years back 9 goals from 15 games. Something similar would be just what the doctor ordered.

Might not be his goal scoring he's after but his link up play etc. bringing other folk into the game.

As long as someone enhances the team then that will do for me. I trust PF. Cannot and will not be any worse than Galbraith and Sproule. 2 players I believe have only a number of months left at club.

He's very lightweight, easily bullied and the heart of a pea. Maybe he's been to see the wizard of oz? :wink:

Ive seen him play for Sunderland vs Birmingham, he was playing with Stokes and Liam Miller and came on as a sub. Cant say i noticed him much, he was playing as a left winger. Roy Keane was just signing anyone he could from Cork at that point.

Still, hes got a bit of pedigree and played in the top league in england so he shouldnt be sniffed at. Another promising signing, well done Hibs.

I'm not 100% sure, but i dont think Coventry are allowed to pick players that have signed for Hibs on loan? :wink:

Noticed on wiki he was on loan at Blackpool in 2009, I can't remember him! Take it this is where your opinions on him come from mate? Let's hope he's improved if that's the case

You do remember him, he played right wing at preston and was taken off after just half time if my memory is right, he had a shocker. I met you, your brother and dad in the ground that day. He also played a few more games, but was sent packing.

He did but I'm sure we lost 2-1 and if my memory serves me correctly he did the same thing the following week against hearts a game which we also lost 2-1

Looking at his record he strikes me as a confidence player so if Fenlon knows what makes him tick he might be a decent signing, for a short term loan deal probably a gamble worth taking.

hes a different player at least cant be any worse than Galbraith, i wont mention Sproule coz i think hes still got something to offer after watchin his game on sat think he may have found his second wind :greengrin
