The Leigh Griffiths Mega Thread (latest: new contract signed with Wolves)

[East Coast Hibe]

:tee hee: What a load of crap.

Apart from my opinion on him being finished by 30 (based on his inability to behave himself) It's all factual

Whats "crap" about it ?

[Hibs90]

Your opinion.

Sparky will get the head down a be a great player for Wolves.

[East Coast Hibe]

I hope so, and I hope I am wrong. But history and Griffiths empty head point otherwise

[Vault Boy]

I hope so, and I hope I am wrong. But history and Griffiths empty head point otherwise

He makes some rash decisions off the park due to being a bit of a hot head, but in footballing terms I don't think there'll be anything to stop Sparky having a great career. Numerous players and staff have said he's the best trainer at the club, he's not constantly on the lash and he keeps himself fit. I think having his kids at home keeps him away from too much nightlife, which bodes well for his footballing career. Other players have also said he's actually a great guy too, just needs to keep some more self control.

[J-C]

Pulling out all the stops to engineer a move? :greengrin

TBH I think Griffiths will end up in a Riordan-type situation where he can only play well for Hibs. He won't get away with any of this stuff anywhere else.

Or the fact is anywhere outside Edinburgh there isn't any Jambo gimps ready to give him grief when in public.

[joe breezy]

I hope he gets sorted out. Compulsive gambling is a hard addiction to control.
You can lose a fortune in seconds. If he is losing money that way he should admit its a problem and do all he can to stop, including giving his wages to someone else.

[Dinkydoo]

I think your right.

He is obviously a bit short of brains or else he would not be chasing folk down the bridges and grabbing them by the throat.

We know practically none of the facts here aside that its been reported that LG grabbed someone. There are rumours flying around that the 'victim' took a swing at Leigh first after giving him a load of abuse so I don't think it's very fair to say that he's short of brains for chasing a guy down in the street and grabbing him by the throat.



Racist tweets, stealing lucozade at Tesco, now this.

The racist tweet, I'll give you that one, it was an immensely stupid thing to do.

Stealing from Tesco; IIRC he was never convicted...



It's never his fault. Why do no other players get in this trouble??

Remember the time he head-butted Pat Fenlon? That wasn't his fault.



High profile clubs won't put up with this nonsense and pretrty soon he will be on the scrap heap

Rubbish. High profile clubs put up with much worse all the time:

Baloteli
Suarez
Terry
Rooney
Gascoigne
Ronaldo - speeding and crashed his car, potentially injuring himself and costing Man United millions in wasted wages.

To name a small few....

[LancashireHibby]

Rumour going round here that Bolton are going to put in a bid this week. If his move to Hibs is dead in the water then I suppose I should be happy with the runner's up prize!

[Kato]

I think your right.

High profile clubs won't put up with this nonsense and pretrty soon he will be on the scrap heap. It's a shame, cause the boy has talent. Unfortunately just not enough brains to deal with it. He will, without fail, follow Riordon and O'Connor onto the scrap heap by the age of 30. However Riordon and O'Connor have a bit cash behind them, a house and car. from what I hear Griffiths has given all his money to the bookies and casino and does not have a pot to piss in.

Have a word with yourself. Believing any old tripe and gossip brings the question of ownership of brains around to yourself.

FWIW O'Hara and Johnson will be big earners.

[3pm]

FWIW O'Hara and Johnson will be big earners.

The 4 of them will be.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

Am bored of this now, talking about Wolves makes me sad. What a waste of a Hibs supporting talent.

[Treadstone]

The 4 of them will be.

Relative to Scottish fitba' aye. Relative to each other O'Hara and Johnson will be far above the other two.

Next tweet he says " eventually" when asked the question "now or eventually". He loves us. We love him. Wolves are giving him a chance though, which is all he's wanted down south.

Edit; looks like he's been involved in another altercation. @LeighG28: “@OllieJohnstone: @LeighG28 Is it true you threw a slush puppy at some fud at M&D's?” Correct, what a waste of slush!

Maybe he's wanting to come back now after all...he's certainly doing his best to put Wolves off.

Sorry, must have miss read your post.

Tbh he's relatively high profile now so yes, I'd say it probably is newsworthy, I'm not expecting it to make the 10 o clock news but I'd expect it to hit one of the red tops, that's what they do, gossip about famous people.

Griffiths needs to stop blaming the media as he has done recently and get rid of his Twitter account, it does him no favours at all.

[21.05.2016]

Feel sorry for Leigh, he gets absolute dogs abuse everywhere he goes, even when hes just trying to have a quiet day out with his family and kids. The moment he retaliates in the slightest the media quickly jump on the bandwagon and turn a mole hill into a mountain.

Im not saying Leighs actions were right at all, all i'm saying is that the media make him out to be far far worse than he is.

Twitter does him absolutely no good and if its possible then I'd say he's pretty addicted to it. The racist tweet incident highlighted the problem to Hibs who acted and got him off of it. Dosent seem like Wolves are all that bothered. The people that target him both in public and online obviously know they'll get a reaction, suppose Sparky is being stupid enough to act with physical stuff instead of letting it slide/a quick remark back.

[OsloHibs]

I love Leigh. That's all I wanna say.

I believe the term they are so fond of is 'pleasing'.


:giruy::giruy:






On a serious note, he really could do with keeping a lid on that temper. I appreciate it must be hard with the constant s**** he gets but since the tweet incident it looked like he'd come to appreciate keeping a low profile. Don't chuck it now, Leigh.

[easty]

'Attacks boy with Slush Puppie'. That's brilliant. At first I couldn't tell if it was a real article or a mock up!

I call for an amnesty on slush puppies, people should be allowed to take them to thier nearest police station and hand them in, without fear of prosecution.

[Velma Dinkley]

Are there fans of any other teams in Britain who regularly abuse and attack players from an opposition team so frequently? It seems so bizarre that people can't get their heads around the fact that footballers are actually real life human beings rather than pantomime villains that merely exist to be abused at peoples' leisure.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Shocking behaviour

If I was a wolves fan, I'd want him fired and nowhere near my team

:cb

[Judas Iscariot]

Pathetic from Griffiths like, throwing a slush puppie at a young Hearts fan and hitting his shoulder!

He should be totally embarrassed and ashamed, and I'm definately expecting Wolves to now be getting shot of him!

Imagine missing the wee Jambo fuds heid & only hitting his shoulder, terrible form!

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Utter tripe......leigh griffths does not have a short fuse nor would he deliberately throw a slush puppy at someone who was abusing him........i actually saw cctv footage and it looked to me like leigh was waving to someone standing behind the lad and tripped, lost his balance and the motion carried the said slush puppy through the air and over the unfortunate lad

[NOLA]

What a waste of a good slush puppy :(

I expected it to get mentioned in a foot note, but not an article that size. I've seen murders get less coverage in that paper.

[SlickShoes]

I am all for shouting abuse at the opposition when they are in the Stadium playing football, they have to realise that is part of the job. Outside of that though no one has any business taunting someone and shouting stuff at them. If some random guy came up to me when I was out with my wife and kids and started giving it big licks he would get more than a slush puppy thrown at him. If there is any truth in this at all then Griffiths is still as daft as before, I think it's time we realised that football players are humans and some of them are total idiots.

I remember seeing Mark De Vries in Sportsters no long after we got gubbed by him, ended up talking to him and he was a totally nice guy, I suspect if I had went up shouting in his face things would have turned out differently.

"DAD I WAS SHOUTING AND TAUNTING THAT GUY OVER THERE AND HE DIDN'T LIKE IT WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH"

I understand that tabaloids exist to print sensationlist pish.

I genuinely thought it was a mock up at first because of the ridiculous picture of Leigh with a slush puppy photoshopped randomly over him. Add to that phrases like 'juice rage' and 'dripping icy pink drink' and of course the Sun special obligatory random words in bold and I would say whoever wrote and edited the story is lucky to be making a living as a reporter.

Indeed, the superimposed slush puppie cup in front of a picture of Leigh with Scotland trackie on at Glasgow airport is brilliant. :greengrin

[blackpoolhibs]

Hang your head in shame Griffiths, FFS only hitting his shoulder from that close is embarrassing.

[hibeequinn]

The wee boy was probably trying to win compensation to give to his helpless litle club.

[YehButNoBut]

Just been thinking about the Griffiths situation at Wolves and checking their fans forum there are many of them who although think he might do a job for them think he is more trouble than he is worth and they would be well rid of him. Some thinking that even if he does stay he'll just sign a pre-contract with us in January and not try a leg after that.

Looking at their side Leigh has a bit of competition up front for his place so (especially if he doesn't get off to a good start) there is no guarantee of a regular starting place, will Sparky be happy with that and will it jeopardise his Scotland place.

Jus wondering how much Wolves will put up with if the bad publicity continues and if so could we see him back sooner than we think, maybe just wishful thinking.

Some of the fans comments from the last day or so below: -

It may be true that LG could score a lot of goals for us in the coming season, but it's equally certain that he will likely score plenty of own goals, too. Mismanagement has already made our club a laughing stock; it would be pitiful to see Wolves regarded as a disgrace as well. This guy could easily manage this single handed.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kenny Jackett will give him a chance, will probably send him off with a Sports Psychologist and give him the chance to prove his worth. HOWEVER I equally believe that Jackett will sideline him at the first sign of poor attitude/shenannigans. Jackett is not a pushover and will demand the best from his players
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, I hope you're right, Darlo, but the first sign of said shenanigans could be too late. We have (hopefully) enough talent in the squad (and we can still supplement this if necessary) to perform at this League's highest level - we don't need trouble.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He's a colossal bellend, and needs $#@!ing off as soon as possible.

In fact, I'd go further than bellend - he's a danger. Team spirit is going to be vital, and he'll be about as popular in the dressing room as a pile of $#@!.

Not selling him to Hibs now is pointless. We all know he'll be signing a pre-contract up North in 27 weeks time, then he'll do $#@! all down here for the rest of the season. We're risking a lot for 4 months' worth of potential. And if we can't - with our budget - find a player who will score at a similar rate without being the dictionary definition of a $#@!, then Thelwell wants $#@!ing with a big stick.

He's nothing but trouble, always has been, always will be. He's not a child anymore, he's 23 in a few weeks. He's just a spoiled, arrogant prick who thinks he's beyond reproach. A completely unmanageable character.

What's his record like, off the pitch?

Arrest for racism, arrest for assault, arrest for shoplifting, chucking stuff at a kid, walks round blowing his beans up any slag that bends over, and $#@! knows what else. He's just a massive $#@!.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
He's a complete cockwomble who I want nowhere near here.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
KJ may cut him loose now. He's already given Griffiths the big fatherly hug with that pre-WCQ phone call and Leigh still goes off his mind like this.

Get rid, we'll find someone else to do the job.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Is it worth the trouble, as well as losing any potential sale fee on effectively a four month loan? You can't see him performing admirably and whole-heartedly post-January after he inevitably signs a pre-contract with an SPL club, can you?
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We've seen how damaging a lack of unity can be though mate. It's the main reason for our double relegation IMO. Lack of unity caused by $#@!ers.

Let's see what Jackett can do with him. If he carries on being a dickhead, he won't play and TBH I can't see him being a huge miss when we've Siggy, Cassidy and McAlinden as his competition. And who knows - we might bring in another striker.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This saga could make or break KJ in my eyes. When LG returns, he like RJ and JOH should be told to do one.

We absolutely cannot afford another Henri Camara type begging-him-to-stay incident (especially not with Scotland flags).

If KJ tries to get him playing for us then KJ is weak. (i would then have my doubts whether he is a good manager - and this in turn may imply that he has to go)

Just get him down here and tell him to bog off.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Well, look at it this way - Leigh being a bit of a prick hasn't stopped him being the top goalscorer in the Scottish Premier League has it? As Langers has said Jackett ought to be able to keep a lid on him but if not then he's gone

Well, look at it this way - Leigh being a bit of a prick hasn't stopped him being the top goalscorer in the Scottish Premier League has it? As Langers has said Jackett ought to be able to keep a lid on him but if not then he's gone

@LeighG28: Listen, wolves fans can say what they like, they won't be picking the squads, il be doing my best to get in the team and score goals !!

He's not exactly endearing himself to them, is he? I really do think it would be best for both parties if he stayed up here with us.

We don't need Griffiths. Hibs will prevail. We always have done.

My fear for Sparky is that if he misses a couple of chances their 'fans' will get right on top of him.

That kind of abuse and pressure destroyed Nishy IMO.

I'm no psychologist but from my point of view he does want to stay at hibs but part of him wants to prove to the wolves fans and others that he is not a flop there and thats what this year left on his contract can do, but equally if i deal could have been done I'm sure he would have signed the dotted line

[LancashireHibby]

Will someone please take Twitter off that laddy.
Only once he finally manages to burn all his bridges at Wolves and has no choice but to come back to us!

[YehButNoBut]

Was just looking at Sparky's twitter and he definitely needs to get off it if some of todays abuse is an example of the stuff he has to put up with.

Leigh do yourself a favour and just forget twitter it's going to get you in more trouble.

To abusive to copy here.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

I don't know what's more stupid - Leigh's reaction at a silly yamfud on the wind up, or the fact his family were actually quoted in that article.

Pains me to say it, but considering he's probably the most exciting goalscorer Scotland had produced in the last 5 years, our media seem intent on doing everything they can to see him fail.

Non story that puts him & his family in a bad light.

The Scottish media can do one.

He's a hibs fan @ the end of the day. To have his personal business dragged through the red tops must be heartbreaking for the boy.

[marinello59]

http://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/scotsol/homepage/news/4989192/Leigh-him-alone.html

That is nothing but a hatchet job full of the journalists own sense of superiority , prejudice and good old fashioned snobbery.

[lucky]

As much as I like LG as a player and want him at Hibs, its probably best for him as a person to play his football away from Scotland. That the abuse he gets might stop and the media might leave him alone

[Heisenberg]

He won't be back. Pat admitted as much yesterday. As much as its a shame for Hibs the lad will go down south, get away from all the trouble up here, and prove to everyone that he's got what it takes. Good luck to him.

[fat freddy]

I thought it was very public spirited of Leigh to contribute to the yams 'slush' fund in this way...the young lad can now auction off his t shirt on brokeback and raise some more cash for Ian Murray so he can buy a new blazer.

[Col2]

I'm not convinced. Pat will have accepted that its unlikely we will get him but you just know Rod will go back with another bid near the end of August.

[Hibbyradge]

Leigh's biggest "crime" is that he's easily wound up.

That will change as he gets older.

It's not as if he sends pictures of his cock to 11 and 12 year old children.

lets forget about lee it aint going to happen, maybe next year if he has a mince season down there, but forget about paying money for him its over. lets move on.

[YehButNoBut]

lets forget about lee it aint going to happen, maybe next year if he has a mince season down there, but forget about paying money for him its over. lets move on.

I still have a feeling that IF he get's off to a not so good start with Wolves, maybe doesn't start very often, or get's into bother again that they might think it's better to get rid before end of August, it's certainly a possibility.

Maybe wishful thinking on my part, however, if he starts well with them plays regularly & scores a few we've no chance, time will tell.

[GreenCastle]

I think he will be back...

Though it will either be January 2014 he signs a pre-contract or summer 2014 he will be wearing a Hibs top again :agree:

She's brilliant, always adds humour to match day announcements. She came on at half time when we played them under Calderclown, telling the crowd of a four team tourney taking place the following week.......read out the first day round robin fixtures and then said 'and on the Sunday, Dundee and Torquay (I think) will be fighting it out to see who plays East Fife in the final :greengrin'..........can't beat a bit of confidence in yer team :greengrin

Leigh Griffiths charged over alleged Tesco incident

http://www.scotsman.com/news/scotland/top-stories/leigh-griffiths-charged-over-alleged-tesco-incident-1-3012596

FORMER Hibs striker Leigh Griffiths has been charged following an alleged incident at an Edinburgh supermarket.

Griffiths, 22, was charged with theft, breach of the peace and assault.

It is alleged that on January 26 this year at the Tesco Store in Meadow Place Road, Edinburgh, he stole a quantity of water and juice; shouted, swore and threw items of liquid to the floor; and assaulted an employee in the store, by struggling with him and attempting to punch him on the body.

Griffiths, now back with Wolverhampton Wanderers, was not present when his case was called at Edinburgh Justice of the Peace Court today but his solicitor, Kathleen More, intimated a plea of not guilty.

The case was continued until later this month for Griffiths’ personal appearance.

He can sign a pre-contract in January. Not saying he'll sign for us but will have loads of options and would be crazy to re-sign for Wolves.

Livi 1 - Wolves 2: LG plays well, but fails to score, though his good play leads up to the winner

Wreham 1 - Wolves 2: LG scores the winner and sets up the equaliser. Wolves website calls him the "rampant Griffiths"

Barnsley 2 - Wolves 2: LG comes on as a 64th minutte sub

[DroitwichHibs]

Living only 30 miles from Wolverhampton, Droitwich Hibs junior and I decided to go and watch Sparky in his new surroundings on his home debut v Real Betis. I am sorry to report:-

He looked very happy
He fitted in with team, and took his goal very well
The fans love him already, and they gave him a standing ovasion as he left the pitch
He did everything to try and be loved, signing autographs, clapping the fans, pictures with kids, and waving to all!!
A baby 'Leigh' was there in Wolves kit

He ain't coming back in the near future, let's face it!!!

Living only 30 miles from Wolverhampton, Droitwich Hibs junior and I decided to go and watch Sparky in his new surroundings on his home debut v Real Betis. I am sorry to report:-

He looked very happy
He fitted in with team, and took his goal very well
The fans love him already, and they gave him a standing ovasion as he left the pitch
He did everything to try and be loved, signing autographs, clapping the fans, pictures with kids, and waving to all!!

Now I know how Glenn Close's character felt when Michael Douglas's character dumped her.:boo hoo::boo hoo::boo hoo: [but without the psychotic, rabbit-bothering response, I hasten to add!]

[Boyle89]

Will be interesting to see how they all change their mind about him once he starts scoring in the league. Rekon the whole "he's a dick, don't want him near our team" attitude will quilckly disappear.

[Unseen work]

He done that well for us he deserves his chance down south. Frustrating he's in league 1 though as IMO he could b much higher. When you see some of the bottom epl teams strikers, griffiths is head and shoulders above, obv hes never played that level but all imo

[Leishy1995]

Spot on. January transfer window will see him move on to a much bigger club.

[Hibbywolf]

Hes 8-1 to be top scorer in league 1. Could be a good wee earner that one.

on the willie hill site he`s listed as "leith Griffiths"!!!!:thumbsup:

Former Hibs player Leigh Griffiths has appeared in court charged with stealing juice from Tesco.

The 22-year-old had been ordered to appear in person at Edinburgh’s Justice of the Peace Court on Wednesday.

He spoke only to confirm his name during the hearing. His lawyer, Kathleen More, said Griffiths was maintaining his pleas of not guilty to charges of theft, breach of the peace and assault.

He is accused of stealing a quantity of water and juice from Tesco in Meadow Place Road, Edinburgh, repeatedly shouting, swearing and throwing items of liquid to the floor on January 26.

It is also said he assaulted employee Fahid Ali by struggling with him and attempting to punch him on the body.

A further hearing will be held on August 14 before the trial starts later this month. Griffiths has been excused from that hearing.

The footballer has returned to Wolves after being on loan to Hibs

Urgh, really hope he doesn't sign with them. By the time January comes around and he's getting offers from bigger clubs he'll regret it IMO.

I think he will sign it unfortunately. He's been made to feel wanted by the manager and the fans, he's also got his number nine shirt.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I'll wish him all the very best no matter what.

[bigwheel]

It's going to be big money for Leigh ..whether he signs or not it will take him out of our league....good luck to him , his performances deserve it

[DaveF]

If it's good money (and I suspect it will be) then he'd be a fool to turn it down. He has a real chance to make a big impression in League 1 with a club capable of moving upwards. Should he do well then he'll certainly have interest in him from others before long so why wouldn't he sign it?

[Hibernia&Alba]

I very much fear we're going to be short of goals this season. Leigh, you're one of us and Wolverhampton is a dump. Come home, lad. :greengrin

[Haymaker]

He could wait, smash a load of goals in before xmas and see who comes calling. If Wolves look good to go up and only championship sides offering the same cash are interested he can still sign. Sign now and he might bang in a load but ultimately wolves might not go up and he'll be stuck.

[SaulGoodman]

That would put an end to pre contract in January too..

In their defence, Leigh had his fair share of critics on here at the end of the 2011-12 season calling for us not to bother getting him back on loan

[Irish_Steve]

No he won't. New deal on the table.

Doesn`t mean he has to sign it tho. The ball is in Sparky`s court now - if he starts banging in the goals, he may well draw the attention of a bigger club than Wolves (and I don`t mean us). Why sign a new contract now when you could have ur pick of teams (nearly) in a few months time

[YehButNoBut]

This contract offer from Wolves will tell us everything about what Leigh is thinking about his future, if he turns them down then there is every chance he will be back at Hibs next year.

If not he might be back to us in 5 or 6 years time.

It wont tell us much. That he doesn't feel his best move is commiting to Wolves for the foreseeable is about all it would tell us. That or the contract offer isn't good enough. It tells us jack about whether he would come back to hibs in the summer. Hypothesising on where he might be in 5 or 6 years time is also pointless.

There was a window where we could have signed him and that has passed. It went with his heroics for us and the accolades that went with them. Our best hope is that he flounders down there and heads back to Scotland with his tail between his legs. As good as that would be for Hibs I hope it doesn't happen - I can't see it happening.

I believe he will sign an extension to his Wolves contract.

Yeah you might be right but I still feel if he rejects the new Wolves offer there is every chance he will be back with us next year.

Mind you if he has a blinder of a season for them, then there will be little chance as he'll get a big offer elsewhere, time will tell.

Striker commits to Wolves

The fans have been great with me in the games I have played in pre-season and hopefully I can now repay that by scoring goals"
Leigh Griffiths

Leigh Griffiths has handed Wolves an early-season boost by signing a new contract to commit his future to the Club.

The Scotland international striker has put pen to paper on an improved two-year deal, with a third year Club option which could tie him to Molineux until 2016.

It was confirmed yesterday that contract offers had been made to both Griffiths and Danny Batth, who had a year remaining on their deals.

“Following on from a very successful loan spell in the Scottish Premier League with Hibernian, Leigh has come back and had an impressive pre-season,” said Jackett.

“I am very pleased that he has signed a new contract committing his future to the Club.

“We hope that he can now continue his good goalscoring form heading into the season.”

Griffiths added: “I am delighted to have signed the new deal.

“The gaffer has been great with me from day one, he has seen what I can do and in return I have been rewarded with a new contract.

“As a player it always helps you settle when you know where you’re going to be playing for the foreseeable future.

“That’s me now, I’m settled. I’m moving into a new house in Wolverhampton tomorrow and from now on I can concentrate on my football and try to help Wolves have a successful season.

“I was really pleased to hear that the Club wanted to talk to me – the fans have been great with me in the games I have played in pre-season and hopefully I can now repay that by scoring goals.

“I’ve been pleased to be able to come back to Wolves, hit the ground running and get on the scoresheet.

“Now I need to continue that in the League and Cup, and it would be a good place to mark the new contract by scoring against Morecambe tonight.”

CEO Jez Moxey confirmed that it was always planned to assess Griffiths’ performances during his loan spells with a view to offering him a new deal at Molineux.

“We are pleased Leigh has agreed to extend his stay with us,” said Jez.

“This situation is what we envisaged a year ago when we placed him on loan at Hibernian. We hoped he would play regularly, score goals, gain confidence and return ready to play in our first team. He did that, and more, by becoming a Scotland international who, hopefully, could play some part in the Scotland against England match at Wembley later this month.

“He is a young player who had a year remaining on his contract. He has shown Kenny what he is capable of doing on the field and, importantly, he has also shown a real desire to stay at Molineux – these are the ingredients necessary to be rewarded with a new contract.

“With that now secured, it is up to Leigh to pick up from where he left off with Hibernian, and make a key contribution at Wolves this season.”

Oh well, good luck to him. Was a privilege to watch him last season, and it will forever stick in the throat that he wasn't fit for the Celtic cup final.

[Billy Whizz]

Thanks Leigh, time for Hibs to move on now

[Leishy1995]

Hibs.net in the know guys were accurate.

[Billychaotic182]

Finally we can move on

[hibsmad]

Really surprised.

His career stalled big time at Wolves and only picked up again after going out on loan. I also think the line Wolves have taken to claim that this was their plan all along is complete bull. They allowed him to stay out on loan when they badly needed a striker because they wanted rid of him.

I hope he now doesn't regret this when he rips League 1 to shreds and has Premiership clubs looking to sign him next year. Have to say that I think this is short sighted from Leigh.

[Thecat23]

Hibs.net in the know guys were accurate.

Hibs were still trying to get him, wolves have just offered him much more.

[Leishy1995]

Hibs were still trying to get him, wolves have just offered him much more.

Hibs could still be trying to get him. This just means he won't be clubless if he flops.

[FromTheCapital]

We were never going to be able to offer as much as Wolves. I'm not going to get started on the 'We could've had him for £150k' because nobody knew if it was true but if it was then we have missed out big time! He will be back in a green and white strip one day but not for the foreseeable future... Thank you Leigh!

He was also not scoring goals when that figure cropped up.
