Anthony Stokes

[Greenworld]

Speaking to to a friend tonight he said Stokes on 8k at Celtic, Dundee Utd agreed to pay half for his services, Stokes didn't want to go there. Hibs offered to pay 1.5k per week but had to increase it to 4K to seal the deal. Might be the reason it's taken so long.

My feeling is that if we've had to stretch the budget for Stokes the well might now be dry
I think its irrelevant LD has coughed up what we can afford I doubt your friend knows any details

I hope we are not paying £4K per week. This will blow the wage cap and cause unrest in the dressing room

You're not suggesting Lucky is a Jambo are you?...Shock, horror haha

Not at all.

I don't even think Stokes is the 'rabbit' - I think there will be one more

Aw! I'll need to find something else now.....

Stokes tore us a new one in the Cup final and there is a lot more to his game now.

He will bring even more quality and composure in the final 3rd and will create chances as well as scoring.

Our opposition are spewing because deep down our club is backing the manager yet Lying King is scraping the bottom of the biscuit tin.

If what's being alluded that Stokes isn't the 'Wabbit' then how the hell are we going to trump his signing!

Well done Hibs!

O and for all you guests looking it. GIRFUY!!

[SMAXXA]

He will be in the squad for Sunday KT won't

[147lothian]

Stokes returns to Hibs a much better player than when he left. His build up play and all round game has come on leaps and bounds and I'm delighted (again!) that we've managed to sign him.

He was outstanding against us in the Scottish Cup final, scores against Hearts and will hopefully be the catalyst to put us top of the league(and improve our goal difference)

I agree with this post, I would just like to add that Stokes was a very good player when he left, but they way he got down the wing and picked out pin point crosses in the Scottish Cup final IMO showed how his all round game had improved

Yep, I think a lot on here think of him as an out and out goalscorer, but his improved movement and passing since 2010 should help the rest of the team.

On a side note, hilarious greeting from The Real Romanov gadge on twitter - the seething is almost visible :greengrin:greengrin:greengrin

[h185forever]

I like most others have high hopes for Stokes ....but please let's keep a couple of things in mind.

1. We aren't that bad a team without him, the other guys have and will continue to do a great job for the club.

2. Let's not heap to much expectation on his shoulders before he arrives.

He will help but if we fail it won't all be down to him ......we are first and foremost....a team

C'mon the cabbage

[stoneyburn hibs]

Well done Hibs,this shows a great desire and ambition.

They are bitter and deep down know Harry Potter first buy players with skill, movement and entertainers. Has to be 6 foot 4 cloggers.

[PPZPOL]

Since seeing him play against us for Celtic (especially in the SC final), its clear his movement/runs have improved and he has great ability when he gets on ball as well. It's been a thing that I feel we've lacked against teams we can't break down (the movement off the ball to pull defenders out of position). I think we also have the midfielders now who can pick out said runs.

Very exciting signing, well done Hibs. We are going for this and this sends that message out loud and clear!

I'll give you point one however barring a bit of fitness I'm expecting big things from Stokes in this division and I'm sure he will heap pressure on himself and have a point to prove.

He will know exactly what's expected of and I'm sure he won't disappoint!

They have delusions of grandeur IMHO. Running scared.

They have to remember one thing.... We pay our way and if they think we can only afford him because we are going there proves it.

Let the seethe continue. They are running scared.

Now to go on another unbeaten run and with 2 games to go we are 7 points clear of Falkirk at the top!

They will spew even more when Stubbs pulls the wabbit out the hat!!

[Brightside]

Yes because it was done tonight and not Tuesday.

Andy. Verbal agreement was Tuesday. Hibs did not get agreement from celtic till yesterday. Legally Hibs obviously cannot say that stokes agreed on Tuesday .

[brog]

While I'm pleased with this signing, I remember the cup final vividly & sadly, I would urge some caution here. I remember AS making his first debut at Falkirk, he was ok but obviously lacked match fitness. I also remember another major signing, Joe Harper, making his debut at Falkirk & that was not a success! I would expect AS to start on the bench tomorrow & hopefully to come on in happy circumstances rather than in dire need. We do need to manage expectations though, he will take some time to get up to speed.

[007 Mickey Weir]

Hibs - creatively managing expectations since Alan O'brien arrived on his moped.... ;)

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Surely he needs to win his place and the boys that have been doing it for the majority of the season deserve a crack at getting the goals - be interesting to see who drops out (do also wonder where the boy from India fits) if we keep everyone it will be a nightmare for teams to figure out who to defend against... Impressive array wonder if well keep then all....

[Viva_Palmeiras]

So if Stokes is the rabbit is Stubbs taking the baton from Latapy and (ahem) Konte as a magician?

A brilliant piece of business. We need to keep hold of Cummings now though. If he's allowed to leave at this stage it'll definitely be 1 step forward, 2 steps back

I mean it's not as if Stokes has stolen any poppy money from the Lady Haig Poppy fund or been involved in any of the other thefts from their many creditors.

The strangest thing is I don't hear from him very often so to get this type of thing out of the blue tells me all I need to know.

1) Whilst we are NOT actually funding a terrorist, they did actually fund a convicted peadophile. Not only once, but twice in a matter of years.

2) Whilst we won't go bust, they actually did go bust-as recent as a couple of years ago. As a result, they went into Administration owing millions to local businesses and charities, however they don't like to talk about that.

3) Whilst we have brought through Riordan, O Connor, Fletcher, Cummings and nurtured Griffiths and Stokes in recent years, they have given us Gary Glen, Callum Elliot, Graeme Weir and Dale Carrick. They had Cummings, however they gave him away. Their opinions on strikers is about as valid as a vegetarian advising you which steak house to eat at.

Delighted Stokes has signed, he should make us more potent up front and I fully expect to score a good number of goals. He's clearly not match fit, but at this level his quality will shine through regardless.

Great bit of business by Hibs. The modern transfer market demands flexibility and opportunism in order to maximise benefit from it. For me this is a great statement of intent and adds significantly to the playing pool in a key area. It might even distract me from the bowling alley.

I can understand where you were coming from. It would be nice if we were able to sign players with Stokes record on a permanent basis. Unfortunately it's just not possible in the current climate (Scottish football on its erse and us in the Championship).

I also wasn't surprised you were shot down so quickly. It's the .net way!

I think we are heading in the right direction. Promotion and more and more people signing up for HSL could see us bidding six figure sums for players on a regular-ish basis in the future.

Hungry for the days when we are SIGNING this quality of player on a regular basis

It's a loan deal that can help get us back to a position where we CAN be signing quality players. Priority No1 is getting us the eff out of this league, and this particular loan will help us achieve that goal THIS season

Keep the faith :aok:

In a way I'm glad that the Club can still maintain a degree of confidentiality when required. I'd imagine that contract negotiations could prove to be a very sensitive area so it is essential that every eventually is covered before an announcement can be made. So it may be frustrating for us fans but sometimes its preferable that even the much vaunted ITK posters don't know everything!

It never ceases to amaze how much Hibs fans like sticking the boot in to our own, whether that's our own players during/after matches or our own fans on these forums. (not directed at yourself personally GB, more a general observation).

As far as this thread/topic is concerned, there are bound to be fans who have personal contact with players or someone else who is officially employed with the club and who also therefore bound to get a wee bit more info on certain things than most of us (used to be in that position myself a good few years ago). However, when they post on here on what they have heard or been told and the info the post doesn't happen as quickly as everybody would like, or simply doesn't happen at all, they are slated on here. Maybe it would be best for all if we didn't have threads asking for info on a current situation so that nobody could post they think they know something and those desperate for news before an official announcement, won't get their underpants twisted and start slagging fellow fans.
Stokes will either sign or won't sign and we will all be either happy or no so happy with the eventual outcome.

The out-of-favour Celtic striker was at the Hibernian training ground but the paperwork has not yet been completed so, as it stands, he remains a Hoops player.

However, the deal for Stokes to return to his former club is expected to be completed early next week.

I suspect Hibs want full media attention so will probably confirm it tomorrow and unveil him at the ground on Monday.

[California-Hibs]

I suspect Hibs want full media attention so will probably confirm it tomorrow and unveil him at the ground on Monday.

That's a good shout actually

[Smartie]

I remember a particularly low point on our slide into the Championship, we were utterly mauled 5-0 at Easter Road by Celtic and in particular Hooper and Stokes. I can't remember which specific pish manager it was under, to be honest it's all blended into one big horrible homogenous mess in my footballing memory.

I remember thinking how recently we'd had players of the quality of Stokes, how far we'd slid in such a short time and wondering how long it would take until we had players of his quality playing for us again.

I don't care that he's clearly a bit of a fud, I don't care that he's only on loan. He's a brilliant football player and we'd be very lucky to have him.

We've still got a lot to play for this season - still in 2 cups and in with a real shout in the league and players of his quality can only help us. It's not the league we want to be in but we are where we are. Get it right over the next few months and it could go down as one of the most memorable seasons in my time watching Hibs, and possibly the most memorable.

I hope we get this over the line asap and I can't wait to see him playing for us again.

[Keith_M]
