Hearing Griff linked with a loan return for 6 months option for a year and pre-contract (similar to Murphy last season)

Thoughts?

Not convinced this is a genuine possibility, especially as the club has a strong policy of seeking players of good character on and off the pitch. However, if all that mattered was ability on the park, I would take him. He is a proven goal scorer at all levels

[Aldo]

Would a hat trick at tyncastle help you decide[emoji23]

Maybe…….

If true, then "Yes, yes, yes, yes." If false, then, "Nah, we wouldn't have wanted him anyway."

Not at all in the know, but something on my Facebook feed just popped up saying that we're getting Katic on loan from the Huns.

No Griff on Celtic bench tonight.....

[Nicho87]

Take griff in a heartbeat

[Col2]

Celtic lining up another striker.

I think it’s almost certain LG will go on loan.

If it’s Scotland it would have to be ourselves or the sheep.

[ScottB]

Griffiths would be a huge gamble, both on and off the pitch. Given his recent history of unavailability, played few games and his off field messaging exploits, pass.

Given elements of the media’s desire to go after Hibs at the slightest excuse, the last thing we need is a player who could well have a bunch more skeletons in the closest that would give the press a chance to drag the club through the mud.

[ancient hibee]

Thought Griffiths looked very heavy in a photo of them training in today’s paper.

[ShadesLongThrow]

Eleven on the bench for Celtc tonight and no Griffiths. Think his time is up with them.

[04Sauzee]

No James Scott in the Hull squad this evening.

[SideBurns]

Ange just said on Sportsound that he felt Griffiths needs another training session, "nothing too sinister". Celtic flying at the moment though, hard to see him getting back in.

If they're trying to offload him, everything coming out of Celtic Park will be positive.

[Big_Franck]

I still can't believe they gave him another contract. He has taken them for mugs again which is always good to see.

James Scott is a good player but he appears best playing wide left in a front 3 from the limited amount I've seen of him. We already have Murphy, Mackay and soon Mueller that can play there so not sure he's exactly what we need now.

I don’t know why but James Scott really doesn’t excite me.

The amount of appearances and goals he has at the level he has played at by 20 years old should really mean he should but I’m just not really all that bothered if we sign him or not. :dunno:

I’ll confess to knowing nothing about him mind you.

[nellio]

Someone from EEN reporting the deal for the Liverpool reject on loan to Hearts is being held up.

A few years ago he was incredible for Wales but just didn't do anything at all so club level. Was surprised when he went to Oxford as I thought after his international performances he would have played at a higher level.

Not featured at all for Wales recently so not sure what sort of form he's in.

[Smartie]

He was brilliant against us once at Fir Park.

I know all about the dangers of signing someone off the back of playing well against you, but I find it quite easy to get excited about the idea of signing a player I’ve seen play well in the flesh.

Even if they play possibly the last position that we need strengthened right now.

IF he was to come he will have been warned in no uncertain terms what's expected of him behaviour wise. He's a daftie alright but must know he's close to last chance saloon. Again IF he came and ****ed up Ron and JR would make sure his feet don't touch the ground on the way out. All in all, for me, worth a shot.

[scotiaf]

If Leigh can find anywhere near his top form then we won’t be able
to sign a better forward, however every transfer window we are told we are going to sign him. So not sure I believe it.

[Brightside]

No need for a tin hat....id expect you to be in the majority.

I’m probably going against the grain here but I think Nisbet, Boyle, Magennis and Gullan could see us through to January I’m more concerned about the centre back situation.

I would almost agree were it not for the fact that JR doesn't fancy Gullan at all, and when he has played he seems to have been used as a wide forward/winger rather than through the middle. Leaving Nisbet as the only recognised lone striker, Boyle can play there but only in a 2 IMO.

[Tambo]

Lewandowski is after a new challenge. Could he do a job for us?

The standard YouTube reel of Kristoffer Tonneson that were linked with.

Based on that he looks like the perfect replacement for Doig and the play very similar.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Good timing from Hibs in announcing Boyle’s extension.

Pressure was really building on new recruits getting through the door with the scarf raised. That seems to have tempered a bit with the Boyle announcement.

I wonder if we will see any signings today?

There are question marks over Gullan but I think with the present midfield playing behind him there might be a chance for him to prove his worth.

[JimBHibees]

Definitely need a more physical Doidge type I think even loan to Jan

[ian cruise]

There are question marks over Gullan but I think with the present midfield playing behind him there might be a chance for him to prove his worth.

I'd love for him to come good and he looked like a talent when he first came through but the coaches who see him in training every day aren't seeing enough to play him. That is probably enough to suggest his time is done.

[Since90+2]

There are question marks over Gullan but I think with the present midfield playing behind him there might be a chance for him to prove his worth.

Magennis is a midfielder so I don't think we can count him as a striking option.

If we went with what you suggested and Nisbet got injured we'd be left with Gullan and Boyle. Boyle is nowhere near as effective through the middle.

We 100% need another striker in.

[J-C]

:agree: Magennis is a box2box/attacking mid, with Allan not really playing we need a player like Magennis who can work hard in the middle and get into spaces to score or create goals. We need another option up front and not to shoe horn a player in there who isn't a natural striker, Boyle can also play as a striker hand has done so before but we need him out wide where he's at his best.

[Borderhibbie76]

We deffo need 1 probably 2 strikers in the door...not even a debate as far as I can see

[Gordy M]

I suppose the only issue would be how much of the budget do we spend on basically what would be our 3rd and 4th strikers id imagine, what level would they be at, and what happens when we all the players who are injured return? Im sure thats all taken into consideration.

[Key West]

Stuff is always worth debating, Hibs appear to want to operate with a streamlined squad, they can't legislate for players getting injured. At the present their attacking options have been limited by the absence of Doidge but there are other attacking options in a formational sense. I was only suggesting that with a more balanced midfield this season a lot of players could benefit from this improvement.
It also affords the opportunities for youngsters like Mackay ect.....

We already went public with our wish to sign another striker though. And that was before Didge's injury.

no need to :) they've been doing their best to blow it the last four/five games though the table looks tight they were sitting fairly comfortably in 2nd just a few weeks back


and i'm still very curious where we are going to play Mueller

Mueller can play anywhere across the front line, similar to Boyle and Murphy.

[Key West]

I'd like us to sign another striker as well, I was just saying that there might be other options if we don't and I am just as concerned about signing a left sided centre back, uts just an opinion not a statement.😁

admittedly only saw three games and each time playing the right winger

[Unseen work]

Mueller reminds me of Cadden with more of a strikers instinct.

[JohnM1875]

Still time of course, but genuinely thought we would have had another body in at least this week.

Still need at least one defender and another striker I reckon.

[Unseen work]

Believe it or not, got told one centre half we’re keeping an eye on other than Kerr and McCart if Conor McCarthy of, yes you guessed it, St Mirren.

[Shrekko]

They can’t legislate but they can do a bit of forward planning, we have been caught with our pants down here, we needed another striker in before the Doidge injury, and our central defence is still a cause for real concern.

[BegbieHSC]

Demba Ba just became a free agent. Now there’s an unrealistic option for our striker void that would terrify Stevie G. :p

I think it’s good that we are clearly intent on getting our top targets. It’ll only turn out to be good if we actually get them right enough, could leave us scrambling in the last few days. If St Johnstone get through in Europe then there’s surely no chance of McCart.

On a purely selfish basis may be good for them to get horsed tonight as they may consider selling now if little chance in second leg.

I’d rather we didn’t. Not because of the quality of said players, but I don’t mind St Mirren as a club. If another club was consistently taking our better players I know how I’d feel, in fact have felt over the years.

Are we "taking" them though?

For John McGinn they've already received a club record fee.

For Magennis they got a fee, and missed out on paying a player to recuperate for a season.

JDH was a free agent.

For Paul McGinn they probably received a fee in line with that for a player of his age.

We've done very nicely out of these deals but they've also done ok, and I don't feel overly predatory. If we started with Celtic's low ball nonsense then I'd be irritated myself, and if we are to buy that centre half off them then we'll need to pay the fee negotiated between the clubs, with their blessing.

Taking them or signing them still equates to the same end result. I’m just putting myself in St Mirren’s shoes and know how I’ve felt over the years when the OF have consistently signed our better players.

I can be more magnanimous about it at some times than others.

I had less of an issue when players were going to the OF for decent cash relative to their ability, particularly if the players spoke appropriately and the players had realistically done about as much as they could for us and needed a bigger challenge.

Unwelcome lowball bids, players leaving before they've even started playing for us properly, "broken glass" chat etc - that changes things.

[glenberviehibee]

I've heard through a really good source that James Scott to have a medical for a loan move with an option to buy.

If we don't sign them then what? St Mirren wont suddenly keep a good team together. Aberdeen or Hearts or the like will take them instead. We lose out to our rivals so as not to upset St Mirren.

There is only the right player at the right price. As long as our club are doing business the right way I can't see a problem with it.

[ian cruise]

I'm sure Aberdeen said the same when they bid for Boyle, they just made a pig's ear of their bid.

I get Smartie's concern, it does bother me a little also however I was Hibs to be the best team we can be and if another Saints defender is part of that, then that's just unfortunate.

If the Scott rumour is true then maybe the thinking is Nisbet as first choice on his own and then push Boyle up and Scott replaced Boyle wide when we need to.

Very good mates with Scott Brown and I can see it happening to be honest. The loss of Hedges might make them move quickly. Can’t see LG going down south either. Like I say, only heard from someone who coaches so might not be the best info jeffers.

I really can’t see Griffiths ending up here now. Too much nonsense around him and what appears to be a lack of commitment to actually getting fit and playing. I think Hibs need someone capable of doing something different but I’m no sure that’s him anymore. Would have said different a few months ago.

[C_hendo04]

Was talking to my mate today whose brother plays Call Of Duty with Kieran Tierney says that apparently Man City have made an enquiry about signing him, probably after Benjamin Mendy’s disasterclass against Spurs. He said that apparently Tierney said that him, Emile Smith Rowe and Saka where the only three to kick a ball on Friday and that he “didn’t give up winning three trophies a season to lose against Brentford”. Just thought it was curious after Josh Doig had been linked with Arsenal and the stories linking us with that Norwegian left back.

I love him as a player Aldo, he’s also a decent wee guy too despite the off field stuff - but he’s unsettle the squad with the baggage in my opinion. I’ve argued getting Jason back because his off field stuff is often childish nonsense, with Leigh, I think it would be difficult to offset on field and on field and the press would have a field day.

I have to admit, I was a bit cheesed off on not knowing Brown was available for a coaching type role and he suddenly ended up at the Sheep.

And although we have kept Boyle away from Aberdeen, we can't allow Griffiths to go there, we must continue to show resolve and demonstrate our continuing resurgence and beat them with mind games by signing Leigh, even on loan.

[easty]

I’m undecided but if we sign Scott then that’ll put that to bed. A real shame imho because he’s still got years left!

On his game one of the best finishers in Scottish football!

A fit Griffiths improves any team in Scotland, he’d start and score goals, anywhere outside the old firm.

A fit James Scott would be a sub for us.

The more I read he’ll either stay in the west and play a very bit part or head north!

A half fit LG will give us much more than a fit James Scott.

Jack Ross is doing a great job building a team here, and if he’s thinking that he thinks LG would be disruptive then I’d be happy to get behind him. I just think that wherever Griffiths goes, he’s going to score goals and make a difference.

If Griffiths signs for Aberdeen then we 100% should have signed him and is a disgrace we’ve allowed one of our biggest rivals to sign one of the best finishers in Scotland.

If we sign him I’m unsure if he’s still got what he used to and has too many problems off the pitch.

Am I doing this right?

Griffiths to me is a no brainer.

Scott is also a very good young player and going by the comments will surprise a lot of people. We direct, skilful and scores a couple of screamers.

Was talking to my mate today whose brother plays Call Of Duty with Kieran Tierney says that apparently Man City have made an enquiry about signing him, probably after Benjamin Mendy’s disasterclass against Spurs. He said that apparently Tierney said that him, Emile Smith Rowe and Saka where the only three to kick a ball on Friday and that he “didn’t give up winning three trophies a season to lose against Brentford”. Just thought it was curious after Josh Doig had been linked with Arsenal and the stories linking us with that Norwegian left back.[emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

James Scott's Hibs transfer nears completion after late-night Edinburgh dash from Hull City

https://t.co/8LqfcA9jZp https://t.co/1Pwq8BEtkn

[Big_Franck]

A local Hull website describes James Scott as a winger here, which is how I remember him from the couple of times I saw him at Motherwell. From what I've seen and read elsewhere it sounds like at some point he has played all across the front 3 though. If he was to play central he's definitely not a centre forward in the Doidge mould, so we still need cover for him even if we do sign Scott IMO.

https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/james-scott-hull-city-hibernian-5795800

Had a feeling this was about to happen when I saw a tweet last night from a boy in Glasgow asking a bookie for a price on this move happening.
The punter wasn't a Hibby so presumably acting on inside information.
Potentially an exciting addition. The boy has serious ability.

Never seen the lad play but looks to fit the bill young guy with bags of potential. I understand he's been injured but still surprising Hull are happy to let him go considering how pony they are

[Smartie]

That day at Fir Park was the first time I’d heard of him, he was certainly impressive on that occasion.

By all accounts he was highly rated, then the next thing you know he’s off to Hull.

So I can’t really pretend to know anything more about him other than I remember from that day - he looked right footed, played on the left but caused all sorts of trouble cutting in from the left (albeit against an opponent who gave him a lot of freedom to do so). He was big and he looked quick.

I think he might have been swapped to the other wing, then substituted, and James had a better second half.

I didn’t see a centre forward in him (other than the fact he was quick big and mobile) and I can’t pretend to know much about him at all.

One thing I’ve noticed watching non Hibs games this year is that “dribbling” appears to have made quite a comeback. Players who are quick and direct running are more effective than ever, and he appears to fit that bill.

It was the only time I’ve seen him too. He was good in the first half, however how much of it was due to possibly the worst 45 mins by a Hibs player (James) that I’ve seen isn’t clear to me.

He did indeed go to the other wing and get subbed . So was overall a mixed day for him.

Never seen him playing as a 9, so will be interesting to see that

Pleased with Scott as he is a signing with potential and will improve. If Griffiths is available then I can't see why we wouldn't try and get him. Yes he has baggage but we've have a had a few forwards who have who were damn fine players. Just depends if Ross is willing to have the hassle though he's never been a worry playing for us. Think he is at home with us. Will probably be a good transfer for him.

I think James Scott would fit perfectly the kind of player/character we have at the club. I think Ross has built a very strong balanced team who all work hard for each other. Scott fits that mould. The likes of Griffiths wouldn't.

He's only 20. 14 of his Motherwell appearances were when he was 18. He then scored 6 in 28 and got his 1.5m move to Hull which doesn't seem to have worked out too well.

[Unseen work]

Scott is not a centre forward.

He’s big but doesn’t really put himself about, certainly not like a Doidge.

He played mainly on the right for Motherwell of a front 3, occasionally playing on the left. He could do a job as part of a 2 up top and would be the one to run in behind, into the channels and drag the defence all over the place. I don’t care what’s transfermstker says, he’s not a centre forward or a number 9. At Motherwell that season it was him, Seedorf and Hylton out wide with Devante cole up top.

He will get on the ball and run at defenders though, he’ll make them commit themselves and jink the other way. He’s comfortable on either foot and is a good finisher. He’s essentially what I was hoping Jamie Gullan would be.

I was a huge fan of him at Motherwell and if it wasn’t for his injury I think he would have kicked on again at Hull.

I mentioned him a good couple of weeks ago about him coming, delighted this is proving to be the case.

A lot don’t seem that impressed or are trying to write him off already. I’d put money on them changing their mind pretty quickly, if there is an option to buy we will take it up.

[Tyler Durden]

That's just pure guesswork. We've got 1 CF. His preferred position CF. We have 4 wide players if you include Mueller coming in. I think it's safe to assume the main reason we've brought him in to play through the middle.

You appear to be the only person on this thread who thinks that's the case.

As I said, Mackay and Scott will likely be competing for the wide left place. Scott isn't going to come in and displace Nisbet or Boyle and I wouldn't say his preferred position is a CF.

Agree. Think he will mainly be seen as central but he will likely be used all across the front similar to Mueller and Mackay.

His versatility is right up JRs street so things can be flexible and quickly changed during games if and when required.

Same as he does at the back switching from 4 to 3

He’s maybe being thought of as a similar player to Nisbet rather than Doidge. We’ve played 1 up front this season so he might just be seen as backup if Nisbet gets injured, he’ll obviously be used of the bench in games as backup for Murphy and Boyle. Could be a very handy signing.

If he turns out to be half as good as Jim Scott then he will do for me, still remember one of his goals against the tic we got humped 3-5 Jim came in from the left side beating 5 or 6 of them (just before the were winning European Cup etc) and stuck it past Ronnie Simpson (Another steal from Hibs by Jock Stein)

I take this isn’t the same Jimmy Scott we signed from Ross County a few years ago? His best contribution in green and white was launching a free kick straight out.

That’s not really true. In fact it’s made up nonsense.

Em Jim Scott scores a cracker against the tic past Ronnie Simpson (one of Jock Steins signings from Hibs) just what part of that has anything to do with a Jimmy Scott from Ross County a couple o years ago. Look up yer history about the Hibs.

[Spike Mandela]

Lack of goals for a forward player is a wee bit of a concern but he is young and learning. Hopefully Hibs have seen potential for improvement in this regard and we reap the benefit of any increase in his goal ratio.

Those were all excellently taken goals, looks like he's incredibly comfortable with the ball at his feet.

I always thought Stein sold Simpson to celtic before he moved.

Aye he did at the same time he knew he was going there a wee bit later, could never be called daft Mr Stein. he knew just how good Simpson was.

No, it really isn't. I remember it. Why would I make that up? :confused:

He scored a few goals but was terrible. Seen him a dozen times in Livingston centre since, always in the same tracksuit.

Are there any supporters disappointed that we have gone for Scott who is more comparable to Nisbet rather than Doidge, I say this as I got the impression some were looking for a target man up front.

[Hibee Mac]

Hmm, I remember thinking he was a good prospect but I'm also looking at his goals on the highlight reel and thinking its all against St Mirren and Annan...

Should be a good enough signing but I can't believe he went for £1.5M!

As others have said, never a CF but should be good competition for our wide forward spots on both sides. Better than Dan Mackay looks at the moment anyway. Still in real need of at least 1 CF.

He's slightly taller than Doidge so maybe he could be used as a target man. Never seen the boy play so who knows

Do you mean sides in our league?

Motherwell
Ross County
Kilmarnock
Hamilton
St Mirren
Dundee
Livingston
Hearts
St Johnstone

I wasn't his biggest fan but his goalscoring was one of his good attributes and flippant, false comments aren't fair on the boy. 9 out of 12 teams in the league isn't bad.

He’s never a target man.

For comparison, he gave an interview before about how he’s trying to model his game on James Forrest

James Forrest could potentially be a target man if he was 6ft 2.

He was only 18 then, I’d imagine he’ll be bigger and stronger now.

Was definitely a Martin Scott that we signed from Ross County - assuming thats the confusion

[SMAXXA]

Love all these experts that have not seen the boy for a long time and even when they did probably only a couple of times haha it’s Motherwell yet seemed to have it nailed on what we are getting and how he compares to others in our squad. I’d prefer to say he looked good for the times I seen him albeit limited for Motherwell but haven’t seen him since he went to Hull but I’m sure despite injuries that can only have improved him as a player so I’m happy but will reserve judgment until he plays for Hibs over a period of time.

Hmm that’ll be why Oli Shaw sits on the bench for Ross County & James Scott was bought for £1.5m and is still only 20 year old.

In terms of players being made out to be better than they were after they leave, Shaw is right up there for me

[ian cruise]

Not for me. Nisbet does a great job, if we've another version of him for the days it's not clicking for him then I'm okay with that. I think he's somewhere between Nisbet and Boyle, or (based on the highlight reel posted earlier) an effective Kamberi. Either way I'm happy with the signing. Another in on loan for 6 months, maybe in the Doidge mould, just to be sure I wouldn't object to though.

I think most folk will reserve judgement on him in that nobody will be writing him off. It’s pretty normal for fans to have an opinion on new signings though and those opinions don’t always have to be overwhelmingly positive. Folk are just saying what they think. As we are seeing with Magennis, if he does well, all doubters will soon be won round, it’s no big deal.

I can’t remember much about him, what I do remember is him being highly rated. I’m not sure if he’s the type of player we need just now but hopefully he is signed in addition to a Doidge replacement.

Time will tell, hope he does well though obviously.

Football nowadays is all about mobility, fluidity and adaptability. Look at Man U, no one would describe Rashford, Greenwood or Martial as out and out strikers or target men. Who cares, they're brilliant! We're already playing with fluidity this season with players like Boyle, Nisbet, Murphy and Magennis popping up all over the place. Let's not pigeon hole James Scott and worry about whether he's a wide player or a target man. He's a fine, promising young player who hopefully will bring something new to the ER party.

[heretoday]

We should get in more players. We need backup especially in defence.

Exactly and that is why I thought we could maybe make it to January with what we already had, looks a good signing though.

For both see Booth and Wotherspoon. Both have achieved more than some of our more heralded home grown talents.

To be honest I've always found more fans wanting to talk them down than talk them up. Both players only really guilty of not being able to engineer themselves more game time in pretty good hibs sides.

Good luck to them.

Young players who are obviously showing enough will play see Doig. Others like the 2 mentioned I’d say all Hibs fans wanted them to do well and become top players for us but they both for whatever reason have never been able to make a serious claim which can only suggest they aren’t viewed as good enough by the managers and coaches they worked under. No one wants a young player to fail, sad reality is some will get to first team level and not make the grade where most others won’t even get a sniff and be moved on before a first team opportunity.

My own view is that Shaw, Fraser Murray, Scott Martin and now Gullan are decent young players but not good enough to play for Hibs often enough to warrant keeping them. That’s not to say they won’t ever be they need to go play regularly somewhere and see how they develop. The litmus test is usually how many of these young players go on to a higher stage than Hibs, reality is very very few. Mind am sure Wotherspoon and booth won’t mind after the season they had last year 😂
