james mcpake

[Allant1981]

Take a bow

[danhibees1875]

Number one priority for next season!

Get him signed up. :agree:

[nonshinyfinish]

James McPake is a golden god.

[essexhibee]

Man love. I'm gay for him and happy to admit it :greengrin:

He wins EVERYTHING in the air. And that block....just wow.

[Stenny]

Fantastic :agree:

[nonshinyfinish]

Man love. I'm gay for him and happy to admit it :greengrin:

He wins EVERYTHING in the air. And that block....just wow.

:agree: I definitely would.

[Northernhibee]

We need 100 beautiful Hibby women to make love to James over 100 nights as a signing on fee.

[Devonhibs]

Problem we face if he is paid of and released form Coventry, which I think is likely, hes put himself into the shop window for other Scottish clubs:wink:

[Riordans Boots]

James McPake :love ya!::not worth

[Riordans Boots]

We need 100 beautiful Hibby women to make love to James over 100 nights as a signing on fee.

I would :agree:

[easty]

He's been quality, that wee run up the right wing was class, he could teach Soares a thing or two about taking on the man at pace!

[nonshinyfinish]

We need 100 beautiful Hibby women to make love to James over 100 nights as a signing on fee.

Based on .net tonight, I reckon 100 guys wouldn't be a struggle. Don't know if we could rustle up 100 honeys though...

[Scorrie]

Coventry's other centre halfs must be immense for them to let Mcpake go on loan. They must be regretting doing that seeing as they are now relegated.

[The Green Goblin]

Man love. I'm gay for him and happy to admit it :greengrin:

He wins EVERYTHING in the air. And that block....just wow.

That tackle was immense! Looked even better on tv replay

[Craig_in_Prague]

If Petrie had one job to do this summer... its to sign up James.
He alone would see us get crowds back. leader of men and he is gonna lift the SC.
i love him and also doherty.

[nonshinyfinish]

That tackle was immense! Looked even better on tv replay

Lovely tackle... :drool:

Sorry, where am I?!

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

We need 100 beautiful Hibby women to make love to James over 100 nights as a signing on fee.

Well there are at least three, that I can see in the East tonight.......

[lyonhibs]

Coventry's other centre halfs must be immense for them to let Mcpake go on loan. They must be regretting doing that seeing as they are now relegated.

They most certainly aren't. Whoever let him go to us should have his background checked for Hibby roots.

Very much our gain though.

[Northernhibee]

Well, I've tweeted him to play my part in trying to convince him to stay. If we do this in enough numbers could make all the difference

[nonshinyfinish]

Well, I've tweeted him to play my part in trying to convince him to stay. If we do this in enough numbers could make all the difference

Did you offer him his hole likesay?

[Northernhibee]

Did you offer him his hole likesay?

At least buy me dinner first :greengrin

[nonshinyfinish]

At least buy me dinner first :greengrin

Call yourself a Hibby. :bitchy:

[Northernhibee]

Call yourself a Hibby. :bitchy:

I'm holding out for O'Hanlon. :agree:

[One Day Soon]

"Oh the Hibees are gayyyyyy"....................................for James McPake.

[HIBERNIAN-0762]

Captain supreme, a 3 year contract is a must, if we loose him to this penny pinching board I'll go nuts!

get him signed up right now!

[stokesmessiah]

Was just questioned on the radio and was not willing to commit to anything.

[nonshinyfinish]

"Oh the Hibees are gayyyyyy"....................................for James McPake.

I'm feeling very gay indeed this evening.

[one day maybe...]

Was just questioned on the radio and was not willing to commit to anything.

Thought he was class during the interview, a man of immense integrity.
Get him signed though :greengrin

[chorley_fm]

sign him up

[Hainan Hibs]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uti_yd-cKkQ

20,000+ fans singing this at Hampden should do it:agree:

[ian cruise]

Was just questioned on the radio and was not willing to commit to anything.

I thought he dealt with it like a total pro. As the presenter said, too many times players talk about how they love the club and then bolt. Mcpake lets his actions do his talking.

[lucky]

He was outstanding. It's a surprise when he does not win the ball. I hope he signs bit think he'll get a better deal elsewhere

[The_Todd]

I haven't felt this way about a man since Rob Jones.

[GreenPJ]

He was outstanding. It's a surprise when he does not win the ball. I hope he signs bit think he'll get a better deal elsewhere

On these performances he should be getting Scotland call-ups. I just hope first and foremost he is fit for a fortnight as he was def struggling at the end and you could tell the hamstring was giving him a wee bit of trouble. Thereafter have him signed up as not only is he the best centre half we have had in 10 years at least. The way he reacts you hope the club has started to grow on him.

[Scooter]

I haven't felt this way about a man since Rob Jones.

Frank sauzee

[21.05.2016]

Absolutely outstanding tonight :thumbsup:

Shouldn't play v ICT, can't take any risks with him, we need him fully fit for the cup final!

Well done James, now go and write yourself into the hibs history books and be an immortal Hibernian legend and get your hands on the cup!

:not worth

[21.05.2016]

I haven't felt this way about a man since Rob Jones.

Imagine he was still with us, what a partnership that would be :thumbsup:!

[The_Todd]

Frank sauzee

Sauzee was before Jones. My point stands.

[FranckSuzy]

Was worried when he didn't appear with the other players at the end but I take it he was doing TV stuff. Glad he did come out on his own though...:not worth :blushie: :top marks

[essexhibee]

He's so deceptively quick. He's strong. He can head a ball miles. He wins EVERYTHING. Ooo jamesy <3 MANLOVE <3

[dmc1875]

Came out clearly absolutely Buzzing running towards the Famous Five stand swinging his arms. :not worth:flag::flag:

:agree: There's no way he doesn't care, i.e. it's just a job to him. He LOVED it! And I love him :greengrin

[Titch]

Whoever sanctioned his loan from Coventry should be shown the door how the hell can you let a player like that go on loan when your in a relegation battle GGTTH

[3pm]

His pal beside him was excellent as well.

[Iceman1875]

He's actually my hero lol

[dmc1875]

His pal beside him was excellent as well.

Playing beside McPake has made a massive difference to Hanlon. The test was against Aberdeen when he was back beside O'Hanlon and he looked twice the player he did in the first half of the season.

O'Hanlon was much better too. I honestly think McPake has managed to rub his way of defending/leading from the front on all the defenders at the club.

[TheEastTerrace]

le Tasche needs to open talks pronto

[The_Todd]

Agree 3pm. Its important to acknowledge the improvement in Hanlon.

[Wotherspiniesta]

A man mountain.

Our captain.

Our hero.

Please don't let him go, Hibs!

[Ryan91]

He was immense tonight and was thoroughly deserving of the Man of the Match award. Utterly dominant in the air, won almost everything on the ground too, and I agree with others saying best centre half we've had since Jones and Sauzee before him. Wins just as much in the air as Jones did but also good with the ball at his feet and when making the tackle.

Once the season is done the board must try to sign him up on a permanent basis.

:hibees

[FranckSuzy]

Song (http://youtu.be/3w1TzLR2tYc) for Captain Marvel

'Please don't go' :pray:

[HibeeMG]

He's the equivalent of two players for us so I'd offer him two times the maximum wages!

[Benny Brazil]

He was simply immense tonight - Hanlon was as well - they make an excellent pairing.
I will bet Fenlon has already told the Tache that signing him up for next season is the top priority.

[Alfred E Newman]

Unfortunately his performances for Hibs will not have gone unnoticed elsewhere. There will be no shortage of offers and only his injury record might put some others off.

[Capt Mainwaring]

He's an outstanding leader, drives the team forward, solid as a rock, wins tackles and headers because of his determination and desire to win. Without question our best Centre Half sine Franck

As the OP says - James McPake take a bow ( now tell the Manager to wrap you up in cotton wool until the 19th) you are on the threshold of legendary greatness.

[Hibeesmad]

We have to sign him, best player in green white since the sauzee days!

[deekster]

One of the best CH i have ever seen at Easter Road in my 38 years :top marks

A great leader on the park and no doubt off it aswell :not worth

Frank sauzee with pace IMHO. :sauzee:

Please , please ,please get him singed :hibees

[joebakerforever]

Signing James would be a positive signal of intent by the Board that they recognise that they owe the fans quality investment in the playing side now.

Rather than slavishly adhere to an uncompetitive wage cap, and sign two or three mediocre newcomers, invest the lot in JMcP, which would provide a better return anyway.

[hfc rd]

I honestly feel like sending an email to the club to sign this guy up quickly as I fear a lot of other clubs are going to pounce on him. Basically the guy has the potential to become a Hibernian legend.

[nelson10.]

James McPake, Hibs defender on loan from Coventry"Great relief for the club to remain in the SPL. A club of this size wouldn't survive in Division One. Now we can look forward to the Scottish Cup final.
"(Whether I stay) is up to Hibs and Coventry. We can now talk about the cup final because we've been dodging questions about it.
"I was quick to find out how big a club this is when I came here."

[Northernhibee]

Calm down, he's not quite in Sauzee's league.

Yet.

:flag:

[ManBearPig]

He is the captain we need and the captain we deserve! Should shut up the nay sayers who critise loan signings. This man plays for the shirt like he has been a Hibby since birth!! Get him signed up whatever the cost.

[TornadoHibby]

Problem we face if he is paid of and released form Coventry, which I think is likely, hes put himself into the shop window for other Scottish clubs:wink:

:top marks

I've just watched James being interviewed after the game on ESPN (I recorded it!) and maybe he's protecting his hand re income levels should he sign for Hibs but he definately sounded like he's aware of the options he may have for next season! :confused:

[andrew_dundee]

To be fair to RP he will be aware of the role JM has played in keeping us up and I assume he will be trying his best to sign him.

If we lose him it will be to a team with more money, although with Rangers in the gutter it makes it slightly less likely that it'll be another Scottish team. I reckon Hibs could probably stretch to offer him up to 5k a week, but if he is offered 10 elsewhere then we could hardly blame him for leaving could we?

I hope he stays. He will almost certainly read Hibs.net and will be aware of how much we want him to stay, and hopefully after he lefts the SC in 2 weeks he'll realise that Hibs is the club for him :-) :flag:

Your figures i would say are way out. As hibs could never pay £5k per week. £2-3k maybe. Although i agree with the point intended. A 3 year deal, putting him on par with our highest earner or top of our wage budget. Might be enough. I certainly hope so.

[R'Albin]

I'm glad I came on here and read this, I was worried I was the only one that was getting slightly aroused at James McPake. He's just got everything you could want in a man.

Oh the Hibees.. :singing:

SPL average weekly wage in 2010/11

Celtic 20,893
Rangers 16,111
Hearts 6,435
Hibs 3,387
Aberdeen 3,062
Dundee Utd 2,563
Killie 2,452
Motherwell 2,365
St. Mirren 2,086
St. Johnstone 1,999
ICT 1,246
Hamilton 1,090

If we were paying an average of nearly £3.5k last season then I would suggest it is you who has your figures way out.

[Liam89]

Please sign this man up, whatever it takes. Words can't describe how good he is!!

[stanton_4]

Fantastic game. To be fair he's been like that since he came to ER. If I was PF I'd be putting the majority of my efforts in to trying to get him back here next season.

[aussie_hibee]

A song for our inspirational skipper and the subject of many man crushes!
