James Forrest

[Billychaotic182]

If Lennon becomes hibs manager what are the chances of Forrest being his first signing, he is out of contract and free to sign with a club. Would he drop down to work with Lennon again and would you take him at hibs?

Just a thought as I saw he was a free agent and I know Lennon rates him highly.

[BH Hibs]

None whatsoever

[Just Jimmy]

He'd be a fantastic signing in this division. Pace to burn and he's actually a decent player too

not a chance in hell would that happen.

[Billychaotic182]

Your probably right this is no chance he will sign with us but Lennon might try and get him.

[The_Horde]

Hope he might try to bring Tony Watt. Currently out of favour at his club I believe.

[MWHIBBIES]

Would a fee be involved since he is a youth product and aged only 24?

He is pretty awful anyway, don't see a bigger club than Hibs coming in for him.

Watt would score goals for fun in this league.

What is the age when you no longer need to pay a development fee?

[KWJ]

Forrest will go to English Championship team, maybe even low prem.

Or stay at Celtic.

Eh, Forrest isnt going to turn down a new contract at Celtic to come and play for Hibs!

LOL

[MWHIBBIES]

Watt would score goals for fun in this league.Like Stokesy did? This league is not a stroll.

It was my understanding he was turning them down as they didn't see him as a first choice and he wants to play football. I know the chance of him coming to hibs are slim it was just a thought as Lennon and Forrest will have a good relationship with each other and he is at the moment a free agent. Glad you found it funny though!

[NikGunnarsson]

hope not, really do not rate him and think he optimizes a young player who gets payed way to much considering he is absoloutly dog *****

[Dashing Bob S]

Could see him coming on loan for a year or signing a year's contract. Those guys just don't get game time at Celtic and will all have to come to a decision that they want to play football at some point.

[Greencore]

No chance.

[cabbageandribs1875]

still the very overrated player i thought he was 12 months ago, imo of course

[Scouse Hibee]

Watt would score goals for fun in this league.

How many times has that been said!

[21.05.2016]

Would be a brilliant signing but no way it will happen even if we do land Lennon as our new manager.

Perhaps but in this league he would be brilliant IMO.

[lucky]

He's a headless chicken but does have pace. I doubt he would remotely consider coming to Hibs. He'll end up getting £10k a week in the English championship before coming back to Scotland and ending up at St.Mirren or Partick or their likes.

[Billychaotic182]

Meh lets just sign his brother Alan instead, he had better status on football manager anyways haha

[Andy74]

He's gash but will somehow end up at a level way above us.

[easty]

Wouldn't score as many as JC.

:agree:

[jacomo]

Ridiculous. Especially in this case. Watt's been living off that goal against Barca his whole career.

[IWasThere2016]

He's going dann saff

[Greenworld]

Just the player we need another midget...

Is aiden mcgeady still miles out the picture at whatever club he's at now?

Think last I heard he couldn't get in the Sheff wed team but not sure if I'm getting him mixed up with someone else?

Yes. It would be a nightmare to have an international winger in our squad ....

Took the words right out of my mouth. Stokes was a good signing, now immortal of course, but in terms of number of league goals scored, wasn't hugely impressive.

If he'd been 100% match fit from day 1 it might have been a different story mind.

[Salt N Sauzee]

He's in and out of the Scotland squad so I'd imagine he'd seek a move down south to keep himself in contention. Can't see him ever signing for us.

[DH1875]

Never say never but it's never gonna happen.

[GreenArmyyy!]

Neil Lennon is a massive coup but I think us Hibby's need to lower our expectations a tad in terms of player targets....

[calumhibee1]

No point in even discussing it but while he's not a great footballer he would run riot in this league with his dribbling. Much easier to have an end product in this league which is what he lacked in the SPL.

[number9dream]

OP is wrong to say Forrest is out of contract which makes the thread even more ridiculous.

Charlie Mulgrew on the other hand...

[JimboHibs]

Really

[Hibeewilly]

I heard or read somewhere that Lennon has named three players he wants to bring to Hibs and that formed part of the negotiations with our Board. Could Scott Brown be one of them? I'm told he wont fit into Rodgers system so could it be possible? Ive no idea what his contract situation is at Celtic but he always said he wants to finish his career at ER

That guy Griffiths has been a bit rubbish recently. He could do a job for Hibs!

[jiggerman]

Guys, I don't post often but the senseless posts here compelled me!

I completely agree with a poster above that we need to be a little more realistic on player targets.

Brown or Forrest at Hibs? Ha. No chance.

I think he'll have targets and I think we'll make some good signings but let's not get carried away!

I heard there is a plucky experienced swede out of contract with PSG, we could just could hi-jack the deal with Man u.
