[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Exactly the sort of signing that'll increase ST seats and folk will want to watch. Fantastic signing.

[BarneyHibby]

Brilliant news.:agree: Welcome to Hibernian Scott!

[Stuarty27]

Delighted, great signing.

Cant wait to see him play :greengrin

[lucky]

Really good signing. Quality over quantity

Absolutely agree...worth waiting for !!

[Stax]

:thumbsup:Well done Hibs, great signing, welcome scott.

[Big_Franck]

Fantastic signing, delighted with this! He's a good age but has great experience already. He's been one of the best players on the park every time i've seen him play. Can't wait to see him in the green! :thumbsup:

[hibeesjoe]

Welcome Scott. Nice bit of ambition from the club shown with this signing.

[Steven_Hibs]

Great signing. Probably our biggest for a long time. Not including loans! Hopefully another 3 or 4 more with a GK, CB and ST

[TowerHibs]

Got a small amount of the Liam Millers about it....and to be fair I think that's a good thing. Hopefully bit of quality we need, nweds to knuckle down to realise what a great opportunity it is for him and hopefully get a team doing wonders round him.

[dunfyhibby]

Excellent news! Welcome Scott!!!

Well done to Alan and Leanne for this signing!
Keep the same quality coming!!:flag:

[Gatecrasher]

This could turn out to be a good signing :agree:

[Leitherhibs]

If hes anything like the player utd were developing, he'll be our best player over the next two seasons. Fingers crossed.

[HibbyAndy]

Welcome son!

[Hibbyradge]

Too late.

He should have been signed up weeks ago so he could bed in with his new team mates.

What the hell is going on?

[lumbo_hfc]

Great signing. Seen him a few times last season and is still a class act and controls the game.

Just goes to show, Stubbs knows the players he wants and the type of player, if that takes a few extra weeks, im prepared to wait. Quality over quantity indeed.:agree:

[HH81]

Good signing, lets hope few more to come in.

[HH81]

Still the best thread of the summer :greengrin

[geohibby]

great signing, delighted, thought rangers were in for him

[Stuarty27]

He will soon realise he has a massive opportunity here and what might perceive to be a step down he will get a shock at the size of the club we are and that isn't actually as big as a step down as people may think..

[geohibby]

[John_the_angus_hibby]

Welcome Scott. Looking forward to you bossing the midfield.

Welcome to Hibernian FC Scott. Go and be a legend and help to get us out of this league.

[Scouse Hibee]

Another quality piece of the jigsaw as promised by the manager.

[Thecat23]

Superb signing.

Had a look over on KB just for the fun of it. Seen this post. What a roaster this boy is. Clearly doesn't know what a good player is.

Back to 2005
Today, 17:16
They seem rather delighted over the road. I like how they have standards way lower than us.

Yeah we are raging you got unknown guys you twat!!!!

[dmc1875]

So how are we shaping up now?

Gk (Oxley)

Gray
Hanlon
Nelson/Forster
Booth/Stevenson

Robertson
Allan

Craig
Harris

Alagui
St (hope?)

[J-C]

Top drawer signing, good news at last, will have to change my avatar again

[bingo70]

Gk

Gray
Hanlon
Nelson (new ch needed)
Booth

Robertson
Allan

Stanton
Craig
Cummings

El algooly

Hopefully Harris finds his form again but he'll need to prove himself again, his place shouldn't be a given.

Still think we need a new centre half, forward that can also play wide and a natural winger.

[The_Exile]

Heard he had an offer from Rangers too but chose us. Could this be the pull of having a manager with a fantastic reputation paying dividends already? Cracking signing.

[Hibrandenburg]

Hope we've no buggered this up and are gettin Allan Scott.

[Pretty Boy]

Welcome to Hibs.

Bags of potential, let's hope AS can channel it properly.

[Aldo]

Welcome to Hibs. Bags of potential, let's hope AS can channel it properly.

Looking at the you tube snippets it's clear he has talent so here's hoping he can get some consistency and stamp his authority in the league

[AlbertK86]

So how are we shaping up now? Gk (Oxley) Gray Hanlon Nelson/Forster Booth/Stevenson Robertson Allan Craig Harris Alagui St (hope?)

Now got possibilities for switching formations

New gk

Same go and back 4

Harris

Can easily go 4-3-3 from there

Hopefully before Sunday we get in a new keeper and another winger

Being greedy want 2 wingers, a solid LB, another CH and another Striker

Would like to see us move on Nelson and OTJ at the very least

Few good youngsters knocking on the door like Gardiner as well

:agree:
Just been speaking with an old Hibs player who confirmed what you say
His quote to me was " Stubbs has signed a real nugget with this lad - a real class act !"

Not getting at you here JD, but I want to live in your street!

Ally Scott????

[Hibrandenburg]

Ally Scott????

Aye, once was enough :greengrin

[jdships]

And your point is ?
At 82 I have been " around" football a long time with five relatives who have played for the club , three since WW2
Thro' that I have got to be friends with a number of retired players who keep in touch thro' golf etc.
This is a forum for chat which I enjoy contributing to :rolleyes:

Been out all day and only now finding out about this bit of good news.... YOU sir, almost, ... almost "Doddied" me! :-)

[CockneyRebel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ou3anH3RLNE

Certainly looks a player from this clip.

[hibsmum]

Just spoke to someone who played beside him, says he's the type of player Hibs need

[The_Exile]

Aye.....a good one :greengrin

[Piqué]

No mention of the great training facilities in that announcement. The first piece of concrete evidence that Rod is no longer in charge??

[tanfield]

To be honest I've never heard of him. Folk seem to think he is a good signing which is good enough for me.

[SMAXXA]

Class absolute class signing.

Got to laugh at the mutants over the road, mind I'd rather have keeting who, boabing gomis (isn't that one player in a compromising situation), a washed up goalie, and a couple of players because they have a foreign name they will be class. Give me Scott any day of the week, he will be out best player next year mark my words, delighted with this.

[Unseen work]

Said if before, he's got the swagger/cockiness we have been missing. He would rather make a mistake than hide or aimlessly hoof the ball.

[KWJ]

Brilliant signing, didn't think we'd have been able to get him when we were in the Prem so to get him from 2nd tier is quite something. Bags of talent, just needs to screw the nut a bit. Could be our star man for 2 years, hopefully longer.

Biggest signing since Stokes.

Agree 100%

[steviehibsleith]

Unexpected that but great work to bring a young quality midfielder to the club . Welcome to Hibernian Scott

Welcome Scott.

I have read a whole load of superlatives on .net to describe Scott's signing. Words like: Brilliant, Excellent, Fantastic, Superb, Quality, etc. I do hope that the fans do not expect too much too soon from a 22 year old who has by all accounts only played 30 loan games since leaving Dundee Utd in December 2011 for WBA.

[Speedway]

Yes I do expect big things in the Scottish second tier from a player deemed good enough for the EPL a couple of years ago.

As you say: deemed good enough for the EPL back in 2011. It does appear that he has lost his way since then with loan spells to clubs in the English Championship, League 1 and League 2. But still above the level of midfielders he will meet in Scotland.

Good business for Stubbs if it works out.

Cannot highlight but defo well above the level of the Championship should he fulfill his potential.

[Leith_Hibee]

Text a mate who is a Pompey season ticket holder last night. Report card was that he was a little bit light weight but a class act, brilliant on the ball.

That'll do for me

[Jim44]

Seems to be the type of player we need and I hope he does the business. Nice to be spared all the usual 'massive club', 'massive underachievers', 'fantastic stadium and training facilities' gush, we usually hear from new signings.

[jacomo]

great signing, delighted, thought rangers were in for him

Maybe he wanted to work with a coach who could help him improve, rather than a fat paranoid boozer?

EDIT: I should add - great signing. As I said before, we HAVE to show ambition to get promoted at first attempt. I really don't believe the Hun brothers are that good. Our club will be fretting about season ticket sales but getting more of us to turn up at ER is the next best thing, and signings like this will drive ticket sales.

[Hibby Gav]

In case it's been missed Scotts first interview as a Hibby !
