Frees up a wage. good!

[J-C]

That's great news, frees up a good wage, pity it didn't work out as he came with a very decent cv.

[Hibeesmad]

I'd imagine Hibs will have some kind of sell on clause added to this too.

[DavidDavidGray]

Unbelievable scenes. Omeonga in and Vela out. Superb stuff.

[Billy Whizz]

Good luck Josh, Shame it didn’t work out for you

[Greenbeard]

Frees up a wage. good!
Not just good. It is Vela good, misnomer aside.

Is it too greedy to hope for a sell on clause?

[J-C]

I'd imagine Hibs will have some kind of sell on clause added to this too.

Why? We got him for nowt, it didn't work, he goes for nowt, very simple.

[Tully]

Probably used money for omenga

[Hibeesmad]

Is it too greedy to hope for a sell on clause?

He be worth £5 million once he scores a hat trick against Liverpool on the weekend, after returning from this injury which stopped him travelling to Spain last week.

[Hibeesmad]

Why? We got him for nowt, it didn't work, he goes for nowt, very simple.

On a 3 year deal and clubs were bidding a bit of money for him not too long ago. I wouldn't be surprised if the club agreed a 10% sell on fee.

[The 90+2]

Chances, eh?

[hibee-boys]

Bogdan/Steph in......Maxwell/Vela out. This window gets better by the day!

[J-C]

Poor signing, big wage happy to get shot.

[Hibeesmad]

Poor signing, big wage happy to get shot.

Aye, replacing him with Omeonga is good business by the club.

[Craig_HFC]

Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out Josh, total imposter.

[emoji1309]

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Vela to setup Cummings for the winner at Liverpool then 😂

[Lago]

Poor signing, big wage happy to get shot.

I'd bet he's as happy to be away as we are have him away.

[Jones28]

Bye Josh. Thank you for making literally no impact at all.

[Tarrahib]

Good luck Josh, Shame it didn’t work out for you
This.

[KingPat4]

Good luck Josh, sorry it didn't work out.

PS
Watch out for that Cummings fella.

[B.H.F.C]

Why? We got him for nowt, it didn't work, he goes for nowt, very simple.

Didn’t pay a transfer fee but imagine there was a signing on fee involved. Chuck in the money spent on wages, we'll have something in the deal just in case I’d think.

[Brooster]

Thank you. A non trier if ever I seen one.

[Since452]

Looked way out of favour. Frees up a wage so good news

[jacomo]

Why? We got him for nowt, it didn't work, he goes for nowt, very simple.


It’s called business mate.

Everyone else is out for what they can get, why not Hibs?

Good luck to Vela but he cost us a chunk of money and offered precious little in return. The possibility of a payment down the line would be nice.

[CraigHibee]

All the best josh

[21.05.2016]

Thought he looked quite decent when he first arrived but it wasn't to be.

[Wilson]

Best of luck. I'm convinced you're a better player than we got to see at hibs. I hope this move works out for you.

[Vault Boy]

Undeniably the absolute best outcome for all parties that he's gone. A complete nonentity unfortunately.

[hibby6270]

Vene, vidi, no vici, Vela.
He came. He tried. Unfortunately, he didn’t conquer.
No malice against him though. Wish him well at The Shrews.

[Sir David Gray]

Best outcome for all parties.

Hopefully a few more to come.

[CMurdoch]

Shrewsbury manager Sam Rickets on Vela, makes him sound great

“He can play as a centre-midfielder, a holding-midfielder and as an attacking-midfielder. He can also play right-back or right wing-back. He is versatile and has played in a number of positions over the years.
“He is a high-energy midfielder, good on the ball and good at taking set-pieces. He’s just a player with real good quality. You don’t play as many games as he has in the Championship without being a good player. It’s a really good acquisition for the Club to get him on a permanent basis.”

Vela interview with Shrewsbury, also makes himself sound great

“I would describe myself as an all-action midfielder who likes to get up and down the pitch. I like to get stuck in and hopefully I can chip in with a few goals - I can’t wait to get going.

[Pretty Boy]

Disappointing one. Thought he would be a real player for us but for whatever reason(s) it just didn't happen.

All the best to him.

I would describe him as slow no action midfielder who makes little or no attempt to influence the game on his performances for Hibs.

Good riddance .

Hahahaha, good luck Shrewsbury you'll need it. Shows you how useless he was that I'm buzzing about his departure.

[WoreTheGreen]

Free’s up a wage and the physio total AOB moment

[lord bunberry]

Good luck to the guy, he came up and it didn’t work out for him. He could’ve hung around and earned some easy money, but he didn’t and for that he gets my best wishes.

[wookie70]

Just never worked out. Good decision for all and hopefully those wages will be put to good use this window.

[The 90+2]

Good luck to the guy, he came up and it didn’t work out for him. He could’ve hung around and earned some easy money, but he didn’t and for that he gets my best wishes.

Good call.

[RIP]

That will be the last time Mathie takes a manager’s recommendation on a signing. Apparently a Lennon favourite from Bolton.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Felt sorry for Vela, his first move away from Bolton and it didn't work out for him. There is a footballer in there, it is a shame we didn't get to see it here. Good luck to him, at least he'll have JC to talk to about Hibs :greengrin

[scotia44]

Like Liam Fontaine, Marvin Bartley and the like were?

Or Matt Thornhill Tom Soares or a Man City centre half that was so bad or a free scoring striker that couldn't hit a barn door there are alway exceptions but we rarely seem to find them

[cabbageandribs1875]

as with most players that move on after wearing our colours he goes with my best wishes for the future

[Golden Bear]

Best wishes Josh but it's got be said that he was more akin to Casper the Ghost than "a high energy midfield player" in his time at ER.

[Liam978]

Don’t let the door hit your arse on the way out Josh, total imposter.

[emoji1309]

Why don't you join him, real Hibby's only please GG2TH.

[Since452]

Hibs don't **** about. If it's not working you're gone. Glad to see we aren't a club that accepts passengers. Keeps everyone on their toes, manager, players the lot. Makes me think Tom James might be away soon too. That might change with the outcome of Naismith's injury of course

[WoreTheGreen]

Why don't you join him, real Hibby's only please GG2TH.

He has been to more Hibs games than you’ve had hot dinners enjoy Dundee last nights

[SanFranHibs]

Regardless of his impact for us I wish him no ill-will and hope he does well as I don't want any player from Hibs being a flop at their new club. I want them to do well and cast us in a good light.

But seems like the best move for both parties.

[Craig_HFC]

Why don't you join him, real Hibby's only please GG2TH.

Don’t really fancy Shrewsbury if I’m honest, Liam.

[WoreTheGreen]

Impact? A dent on physios table

[Bostonhibby]

Always liked Shrewsbury.

😁

[Ringothedog]

Mallan is a far better footballer imo and our current manager agrees.

[jakedance]

This is a great result. It’s not always easy to move on players with a long contract and he wasn’t going to be successful here. Good work Hibs.

[Onion]

Good for Hibs, good for him.

[eastterrace]

Mallan is a far better footballer imo and our current manager agrees.must agree mallan is head and shoulders above vela. Great he has gone .dont understand why some fans slag of stevie mallan , maybe with him out the team we will see what we are missing or maybe not.

[WestCoastHibby]

Flattered to deceive. Good luck

[Ringothedog]

Flattered to deceive. Good luck

I never once saw him flatter never mind deceive. Anyway I wish him well

[erin go bragh]

Looked promising against Celtic at ER but for whatever reasons ,it just didnt work out .best for both parties. All the best tho

[Dashing Bob S]

Gutted Vela has gone.


Nah, not really.

[weecounty hibby]

Disappointed it didn't work out. Happens all the time in football. He probably could have hung about and collect a wage for another few months but hasn't. I think that says a bit about him to be honest.

[Stokesy's on fire]

I'd imagine Hibs will have some kind of sell on clause added to this too.

Would imagine we just got rid and didnt bother with clauses

[Keith_M]

Good stuff.

Hopefully clears the way for us to sign a defensive midfielder

[jacomo]

You’ve just stolen a few seconds of my life with that comment but I doubt I’ll get an apology.

[Billy Whizz]

Pity we didn’t have Stevie available late on yesterday

[jeffers]

Glad he's gone. Sometimes even good players don't work out, but there is zero excuse for not trying 100%. His half arsed attempt at closing down Hickey sums up his time with us.

[Eyrie]

Best move for all concerned.

[The Spaceman]

Great news. Wish him all the best in his career but best for all parties he has moved on. A big wage off our books and probably a drag on squad cohesion.

[Lancs Harp]

Brilliant reading on the Shrewsbury message board the very predictable "who gives a flying f*** what Hibs fans think has anyone seen the state of scottish football"

How rude.

Aye scottish football is in such a state their latest hope coukdnt get near our first team.

Congratulations Shrewsbury for stealing the new Zidane from right under our very noses.

Anyway Josh good luck in your new venture but you really did steal a wage in your time here fella. Very disappointing.

Ah the experts who never watch Scottish football but love to comment on how ***** it is forgetting that they support a tiny wee club from the middle of nowhere that will never win a thing. Does James Collins not look like Ronaldo down there?

Shrewsbury Town ������������

A Shrewsbury Town supporter slating Scottish football is akin to a virgin slating you for getting your hole

[FilipinoHibs]

May clearly had him sussed and briefed Ross. Must of had a crap attitude in training to get binned without getting a chance. Good to free up his wage although that is what probably paid for Omengaga.

[PaulSmith]

Shrewsbury Town 😂😂😂😂😂😂

A Shrewsbury Town supporter slating Scottish football is akin to a virgin slaying you got getting your hole

Didn’t we go down there recently and hammer them 4-0?

[Jonnyboy]

Hey, leave Shrewsbury alone! It's a cracking wee town.

(I may be biased given that my mother and my four older siblings were born there. Plus, I still have family that live there)

[DH1875]

Wasn't given a chance under the new manager which is baffling when there's imposters like Mallan still stealing a wage from the club..........

WTF? did you actually see the guy play? One of the worst players to ever wear the jersey.

Will tell you what he was missing, heart. The guy had none and he was the imposter.

[Bostonhibby]

Didn’t we go down there recently and hammer them 4-0?We actually let them have a goal just to approach it like a proper handicap event, and as a travelling support for a friendly topped some of their better away crowds.

I was there as I had family close by, decent day out, great town as Jonnyboy knows , but a small insignificant team playing at one of the higher levels they'll reach even if some of the big team money in England trickles down to them.

Shed of a ground as well.

If Vela is a success too I think we will have consistent and conclusive proof that our league is a much higher standard than the English league one.

Exactly. Well said. But it seems the haters on here have got to keep hating. Good luck to him.

[HoboHarry]

Made up rubbish. It may also have been that he was unhappy in Scotland and was asking if we would transfer him back to England.

[Sammy7nil]

Yip all the best hope it works out well for him.

[Lancs Harp]

Yip all the best hope it works out well for him.

True but you cant get away from the fact he was very disappointing in a Hibs shirt. Didnt work forhim and certainly didnt work for us which is my and I guess every Hibs fans concern

[Greencore]

Shame it didn't work out Josh, great to free up a wage though.

[neil7908]

Very strange one as sounded like a player when he was announced.

Can't say I'm sad to see him go but fair play to him for getting himself a move quickly. Many would have sat on the contract and taken the money at Hibs for nothing.

[Greenbeard]

Best wishes Josh but it's got be said that he was more akin to Casper the Ghost than "a high energy midfield player" in his time at ER.
Reported.
To the Casper the Ghost fan club.

[easty]

Much like with Heckingbottom, I don’t really care how the rest of Vela’s career goes. He’s gone, I’m glad. He was not any good for us, and that’s all I’m bothered about.

[Sir David Gray]

James Collins did well for Shrewsbury.

If Vela is a success too I think we will have consistent and conclusive proof that our league is a much higher standard than the English league one.

Ian Black didn't do so well although not sure what that actually proves! :greengrin

[tamig]

A real shame it didn’t work out here. All the best Josh. I’m sure you’ll do well down south again.

[FilipinoHibs]

Made up rubbish. It may also have been that he was unhappy in Scotland and was asking if we would transfer him back to England.


PH goes and May immediately drops him even from the squad. He obviously saw what we all saw. Ross does the same thing. If he was trying to impress in training he would have at least made the squad. It is not made up but a plausible reason why he has been off loaded. Culturally Shrewsbury as far from Manchester as Edinburgh. In fact Edinburgh closer to Manchester life style. I have stayed in all three places

[Baldy Foghorn]

I didn't rate him. Glad he's now off the wage bill. Hopefully bring a defensive midfielder in now

[JimBHibees]

I didn't rate him. Glad he's now off the wage bill. Hopefully bring a defensive midfielder in now

Yep can remember watching him in Arbroath game and thought he looked promising however some of his performances were way off. Thought he was awful in semi final where he was subbed at half time not the only one but the vivid memory I have of him was being skinned by I think McGregor then jogging after him rather than sprinting back kind of summed his time up with Hibs imo.
