Mark Milligan

[Forza Fred]

Fair Dinkum!

There were stories of an approach being made for Mark a few weeks here in Oz, but the money on offer was quoted as being the stumbling block.

This will be his last club before returning home to Oz I would imagine.

There will of course be various differing views on his ability, but one thing that is a first for Hibs is that they have signed a player who has been in four World Cup Finals squads.

Welcome Mark.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Have u seen much of him before? What kind of player is he?

[Thecat23]

Yeah his name was mentioned on here by a few and that he laughed at the money on offer here in Scotland. So Hibs must be paying a good wage!

33. Classic Lenny signing...

Welcome Mark! How are the legs?

:wink:

:thumbsup:

Do you think that rules out Mulumbu, I had heard he was looking for a 5 figure salary per week.

No idea bud, but seems we don’t have much to spend if Lennons comments are true.

McGinn deal maybe freed up a few extra pounds?

[Mick O'Rourke]

Hi Fred
Jamie being here would have been a factor too i suppose, for Mark signing.
We know Jamie has relatives in Edinburgh.
If Mark has, i hope it is not our buckfast swilling former Lord Provost !!

Welcome Mark to Hibernian FC

£999.99 a week should do it

[Forza Fred]

He is a hard working, industrious defensive midfielder.

He has, as stated been to 4 World Cup finals.

I quite like him, but I would have preferred if we had signed him a few years ago.

Well if thats the case that really disapoints me big time. Season tickets record levels, McGinn transfer, Murray transfer & Europa league earnings.:confused:

Hopefully Lennon is playing the not much money line, so agents aren't trying to demand wages/fees that are over top.

That’s exactly what he’s doing.

[Godsahibby]

Just watched the you tube highlights. Have we finally signed someone who can take a throw in!?!?!?!?

You know your player is getting on a bit when his Youtube showreel isn't in widescreen.

[Dashing Bob S]

Could be the next Sauzee or Van Der Graff. Time will tell.

our signings this year have all been internationals

the evidence of our spending is right infront of us

[RossScott1991]

Welcome to the best club in the world Mark.

Surprised when it was a defender announced but definitely a good thing. Some of our defending at times is poor and this will ensure there is competition for places.

Now a couple CM hibs please , Allan (must) + a powerful player please

He’s predominantly a defensive midfielder I believe, but can also fill in at CB

[NAE NOOKIE]

Even though most of the You Tube stuff on this thread appears to be about 10 years old I wouldn't have thought his ability to see a pass has gotten any worse and that already gives us more then Marvin does. I wouldn't imagine his fitness is in doubt either if he played in all of Australia's world cup games, as I recall they were all at the warmest time of day in Russia and he has been playing in the middle east before joining us.

This guy could be a real master stroke by Hibs …………. or a total dud of course, the proof of the pudding as they say :greengrin

[FifeHibs]

I think he started the 3 games for Australia at the World Cup centre half but can also play centre mid which he has done at previous World Cups.

Anyone miss the days of signing Danny Haynes yet?

Yeah I would fully expect that the average wage is pretty high at the moment, so while we aren't spending XXXX million on fees(although we have spent a fair bit.) I bet the wage structure has grown substantially with the pedigree of player that has come in.

How old was he?

[Speedway]

How old was he?

Ran like he was 73

[Sir David Gray]

How old was he?

Can't remember but I felt about 85 after I had spent 90 minutes watching him play.

[Hermit Crab]

Ran like he was 73


Played like he was 3.

[Blackfordhibby]

How old was he?

Mid twenties or thereabouts, if I remember. In ma sixties so a dinnae always remember correctly.

Mallan and Flo aren’t internationals but I’d agree we have clearly spent a bit cash. Would still have liked to think there would be a bit more still available though.

I miss sitting beside his missus. I'm sure Scoopyboy will be along to verify.

Trust NL but this one not looking too promising. Very Fenlonish although admit the man has a decent oz track record.

Fenlon-ish?

How many World Cup players did he bust the budget to sign?

What a stupid post, assume you’ve seen or even heard of the guy

He’s nothing like rowan vine or James Collins , this guy looks decent

So you've seen him play on a regular basis. Can't mind Pat signing anybody who's last 3 games were in a world cup.

While I agree that Milligan’s age certainly mean that his most athletic days are behind him, he has the very pedigree that Fenton could never attract and by a manager that knows exactly where the teams needs strengthening, which Fenlon never seemed to.

So for me, a very un-Fenlon signing.

[ekhibee]

They've both played internationals at under-21 level but I agree, I would have thought there would be more dosh available for players unless they're concentrating on that new pitch at East Mains? Personally I'd prefer if they strengthened the team, but that's just my opinion.

[Captain Trips]

I will be judging him on how well he plays wether he is 18 or 33.

Ah ok. I wouldn’t class that as internationals or else we could be calling Danny Handling and Sam Stanton Scotland internationals :greengrin
