Nisbet to get a run out tonight?

[h1bs4life]

With 7 Scotland players self isolating hopefully Nisbet will get some game time tonight . Would be a good test for him against the Dutch

Is he getting a run out or is he hopefully going to get a run out?

[Hibernian Verse]

Is he getting a run out or is he hopefully going to get a run out?

Che Adams is out so it's a hopefully

[BS44]

Wonder if he will put a bit more effort for Scotland than he did for us in the cup final

[calumhibee1]

You’d have to imagine he’ll get some minutes.

He’ll need to show something to be considered for much action in the Euros though or else I think he’ll be making up the numbers.

[Billy Whizz]

He doesn’t start
Dykes and Christie up front

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Hopefully he gets a decent run out either tonight or against Luxembourg.

Be great to see him go to euros and do well

Just reading there that our two right backs were room mates in Spain. Why would you have your only two right backs as room mates during a pandemic when isolation periods are in play. Surely you’d put more effort into who shared a room? Why are they even sharing a room?

I’d imagine the effort was put into putting a teenager who is learning the game along with the other experienced international player who plays his position, rather than planning for the unlikely and unfortunate breakout of covid.

Why because you dont agree with it?

Nisbet was in the press last week telling everyone he proved he is international class. After a 20 minute cameo vs Faroe Islands FFs.

He thinks he is bigger than the club and gets an easy ride on here after handing in a transfer request. Guys like Thomson and even Kamberi done less and are treated like villains.

He scored 14 goals in the Premiership last season. Personally I like him as a player but hes got a long way to go and he is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is. Handing in a transfer request after only 6months was totally disrespectful to the club and fans.

Handing in a transfer request like he did was a **** move from him, not a big fan after that I have to say.

I also agree he thinks he's better than he is, although he is still very good he's not good enough for a move from Hibs yet imo, anonymous in too many games.

If you could triple your salary you would - anybody would. Sadly it’s the way the game is now.

I was halfway through a post being critical of him in this very thread when he scored, so scrapped it.

In the very spirit of hypocrisy I’m genuinely delighted for him.

Was lucky enough to be at that game in Riga
The abuse levelled at DJ during the warm up was disgraceful from
the Tartan army
I decided to plead his case but it just brought abuse my way. Until he scored one of the best goals ever scored for Scotland imo
I just turned to face his detractors with my arms outstretched and received
many a handshake from the now DJ converts
Set up a goal at Ibrox v Sweden with an outrageous dummy and DJ also won the penalty in Belarus to win the game
You could say Hibs got Scotland to the WC in France.

Nisbet looked a very good player tonight - some of his touches were sublime and his link up play was spot on.

I’ve not always been his biggest fan but you sometimes forget what a meteoric rise it’s been for him - it’s pretty amazing really.

We are certainly just a stopping off point and perhaps with no crowds it has been a bit more evident that there doesn’t appear to be much connection to us.

Can’t quite put my finger on why but not a player I’ve taken to at all. Probably a combination of not seeing him play live yet, coming over as a bit arrogant and the suggestion he wanted to leave after 6 months.

Yes I once was discussing a tactical change Scotland made at HT against Bosnia in Sarajevo

He was dressed in Kilt and timberland boots but he had decided to add a fez to the ensemble. Hard to take a man in a fez seriously.

Feel the exact same about him. It's so weird. But if he makes us a good bit of money when he does leave then it can only be good for Hibs.

[KingPat4]

There's a few likely answers to that.

Some very obvious ones, including some folks having - very - short memories. I'll take the money and invest players who want to wear that jersey.

[KingPat4]

What a stupid thing to say.

Why?

Please explain?

[H18 SFR]

9/10 we will buy younger players, looking to develop them before selling them on for significant fees. If we sell Kevin Nisbet this summer then we are succeeding with our strategy.

We then find the next one and repeat.

I agree 100%.

It’s not that I don’t like him, I just don’t love him.

He feels a bit like Ulysses de la Cruz. Here for a reason, as a stepping stone to somewhere he actually wants to be. Suits us, as his next move will likely net us a lot of cash, but you’re happy enough to see him leave and earn Hibs cash rather than be devastated to be losing a player who is almost impossible to replace, in both the football and emotional sense irrespective of the fee paid to Hibs.

[Greenbeard]

Have to say, there's not a lot I disagree with there. Handing in a transfer request like he did was a **** move from him, not a big fan after that I have to say.

I also agree he thinks he's better than he is, although he is still very good he's not good enough for a move from Hibs yet imo, anonymous in too many games.
Couldn't disagree more. He has a touch and movement way beyond the standard of this Hibs team and he will score and do well with a better service in a higher level team, be that Scotland or Dan Saf.

[MWHIBBIES]

Why?

Please explain?

Why would you not want him to play for hibs again? That's ridiculous. He's flawed but he is a good player.

Yeah spot on, and same sentiments me and a mate were sharing earlier.

One of a number of players I was very angry at after the cup final but thinking rationally it’s been a signing that has helped us build as a club- and that will continue when he goes as we’re clearly looking at a nice fee for him now.

[Jim44]

Looks like I’m in a minority of folk who really want Nisbet to stay with us for another season and, if he goes, I don’t think he’ll be replaced by a better prospect…….. then some folk will really have something to whinge about. We’re potentially on the verge of seeing our present team, which finished third, dismantled and the thought of starting the new season with a radically new team worries me.

[KingPat4]

He bottled the Cup Final because he did want to get injured. He hid the whole game. If not wanting to see him again in a Hibernian jersey makes me stupid,in the eyes of some, I can live with that.

[The Tubs]

I don't get how people can be angry with the players after the final. Do you really think they didn't try their best? This sounds so stupid.

If Irvine had shown a little more composure and Gogic hadn't jumped, they would all be heroes.

We were playing against a team we hadn't figured out how to beat in the previous 3 matches. Do you think the players didn't try then too but tried in the semi or against Aberdeen? I find this anger completely irrational.

[weecounty hibby]

I would rather keep the £3m+ rated, international striker who was the league's 2nd top scorer last season and hopefully he helps us to another decent season and maybe even a trophy. Who cares if he said he would leave in the Jan window. I don't remember any transfer request being handed in but he may have said he was happy to leave, dunno. If he does leave he will make us a big profit and also show any other young ambitious players that Hubs is a club to come to.
He's not a Hibby, it's never been his dream to play for Hibs. Of course we are a stepping stone for an ambitious player. Some of the comments about him are a bit off.

[The Tubs]

He bottled the Cup Final because he did want to get injured. He hid the whole game. If not wanting to see him again in a Hibernian jersey makes me stupid,in the eyes of some, I can live with that.

I wouldn't call you stupid, but to say he bottled the cup final is just bonkers. Every player that day, goalie apart, had a poor day. Our problem was midfield failing to get a grip of the game resulting in the forwards living of scraps.

We couldn't get the ball through to the forwards in dangerous positions, just as we hadn't done in the two previous games against St Johnstone. Davidson and his defenders knew how to stop us.

I agree with you.

Every player is looking for the next step up in their career. Nisbet is going to play at a level higher than Hibs and when he leaves I will wish him the best. He will be hard to replace.

[hibee-boys]

I think it’s pretty clear that Kevin has ambitions to move on from Hibs, I’d have respected him more if he’d kept his head down throughout the season and not made any noises around moving in January. He contributed well over the season and was a big reason we ended 3rd in the league. However, I only want players at Hibs who are 100% focused on delivering for us, for that reason I’d be happy enough to see Kevin move on for the right price in the summer and I’d wish him well.

[theonlywayisup]

We couldn't get the ball through to the forwards in dangerous positions, just as we hadn't done in the two previous games against St Johnstone. Davidson and his defenders knew how to stop us.

Did Doidge hide too because he didn't want to get injured before his holidays? Boyle too?

Yes, agree 100%. The failing was not counteracting Saints stranglehold in midfield that they've now had in five successive games against us.

But he did hide in the cup final? Then came out a few days later calling himself “international class”

And, by the way, are you referring to the one that came off the woodwork against hearts a few days after his old man died?

If so, you must be a lovely fellow.

[Smartie]

There is no way he’ll be arsed to play for Hibs after this summer. I can just imagine the state of him if he doesn’t get a summer move - the “Scottish Kamberi” comment might not actually be too far off the mark.

He needs to go and we need him to go.

It’s been a loveless marriage that has suited both parties for as long as it was convenient but let’s not pretend this is something that it is not.

[ElginHibbie]

I haven't heard/read him say anything negative about the club. I understand that his expectations needed to be managed after the transfer stories and that they may need to be again. However, if we get a few European games and he scores goals in big games, I'm sure he'll be happy until at least January.

If Ross seems to know one thing, it's managing young players.

[S4uzee]

He's better than Kamberi, but apart from that you hit the nail on the head.


And if he's going to Celtic, I hope Ron is well versed on how they try to do business.

[The Tubs]

Honestly think his dad dying may have played a part in his transfer request as well as wouldn't have been an easy few months for the lad mentally

But what transfer request? As far as I understood, he knew about interest in him and was keen on the move. Hibs said no, he got a bit frustrated, but eventually got on with it when he got back in the team.

[JimBHibees]

At least 2. You would have to agree, wouldn't you, that the one against hearts was the most important?

I can't even remember who the other one(s) were against.

[SaulGoodman]

Based on what

Peoples imaginations running wild because he didn’t play well in the final.

[ElginHibbie]

But what transfer request? As far as I understood, he knew about interest in him and was keen on the move. Hibs said no, he got a bit frustrated, but eventually got on with it when he got back in the team.

Keen on the move enough to have a chat with the manager after bids were rejected, seems like he was trying to make it happen.

But you are right he got on with it after the window shut and if he was still at Hibs at the end of this window I am sure he'd do the same.

If someone comes in with the right bid he'll no doubt be off, but others says we NEED to get rid is way over the the top in my opinion

[SaulGoodman]

Mind Scott Allan handed in a transfer request? It’s not some weird symbolic thing that means “ I don’t want to play for this club” and that’s it. There’s far more to it than that.

I’ve seen nothing from Nisbet to suggest that he doesn’t want to play here. People are letting their anger about the cup final get the better of them, he scored in the semi and played really well when we beat Aberdeen to secure third and the place was buzzing.

Just because he didn’t play well in the final doesn’t mean suddenly he’s not arsed about playing for Hibs.

It’s proper weirdo behaviour calling someone you’ve probably never met in your life a prick because of what you’re assuming his behaviour to be like.

Ffs we’re meant to be Hibs fans and we’re calling our top scorer a prick the night of his first international goal because he didn’t play well a couple weeks back.

[The Tubs]

Keen on the move enough to have a chat with the manager after bids were rejected, seems like he was trying to make it happen.

But you are right he got on with it after the window shut and if he was still at Hibs at the end of this window I am sure he'd do the same.

If someone comes in with the right bid he'll no doubt be off, but others says we NEED to get rid is way over the the top in my opinion

He's quite right not to be shy about earning plenty more and playing at a higher level. Even Riordan did the dirty on Hibs to some extent and I still love the guy.

[SaulGoodman]

He bottled the Cup Final because he did want to get injured..

I must’ve missed that interview, have you got a clip of it?

“I don’t want a national trophy winners medal, I might get injured” said no footballer ever.

[Smartie]

Based on what

The fact that he’s left his last 2 clubs after a year having done what he went to them to achieve and get a move up the way.

The fact that he’ll have spent the summer mixing with players who earn substantially more than him and he’ll likely (and not unreasonably) consider to be his peers. Used to happen with Sol Bamba.

That he seemed keen to move on from us in January, less than 6 months after joining us whilst in the middle of a dip in form. Interestingly our form picked up when he was dropped at that time.


He thinks he’s above us. Simple. Maybe he is, although I’m not convinced he’s done enough for us to automatically think that. We’ve seen a few players reach that level before, but it’s taken better players a lot longer than it seems to have taken Nisbet - off the top of my head McGinn, Gletcher, Griffiths, Brown, Riordan - and many many more.

As I said, I just can’t really take to him. I want him away for as much money as possible and to have other players on an upward trajectory playing for us who might feel like being with us for more than a year.

Part of it is hunch, 6th sense, body language and just my opinion.

Do you think there is any chance Kevin Nisbet will be at Hibs next season, happy and enjoying his football? Seriously?

None of which means he’s been a poor signing - he’s not. He’s ambitious and entitled to see his career progress as he wishes. I’ve just felt a lot more love for a far greater number of inferior players playing for Hibs.

[SMAXXA]

There is no way he’ll be arsed to play for Hibs after this summer. I can just imagine the state of him if he doesn’t get a summer move - the “Scottish Kamberi” comment might not actually be too far off the mark.

He needs to go and we need him to go.

It’s been a loveless marriage that has suited both parties for as long as it was convenient but let’s not pretend this is something that it is not.

Who’s pretending it’s something that it’s not? All I’m seeing is people seeing it for what it is a player that’s been great for Hibs since he signed and has said how much he loves being at the club but is ambitious and wants to progress his career. A loveless marriage is a weird way to describe it IMO. The clamber to criticise our players for one reason or another is pathetic and I suspect based on the hearts penalty miss, January transfer scenario and losing the cup final. Forget about the goals he’s scored and the success this has brought Hibs and focus on he negatives it’s tiresome and players are a game away from being slightered by some of our fans but lauded most other weeks 🤷*♂️🤦*♂️.

He’s a young man who’s taken a tough route to get to where he is from the early days, I can’t blame him for wanting to continue that trajectory to make up for lost time in this career and Hibs will be handsomely rewarded as a result when he does go. Should leave Hibs wor best wishes no some of the ***** and grudges cause of a couple of games IMO.

[S4uzee]

At least 2. You would have to agree, wouldn't you, that the one against hearts was the most important?

I can't even remember who the other one(s) were against.

Yes probably more important but also missed QF shoot-out. However, to suggest my original post was intended for reasons other than football is very poor indeed

[CMurdoch]

Good movement by Nisbet at the goal and a very good one touch finish.
His overall play was very good throughout his time on the pitch.

He and we will be glad he didn't get to go to Birmingham.
His performance tonight will have increased interest in acquiring his services and strengthened our chances of a big pay off when that time comes.

He has come a long way in one season and all against a background of losing his father at the age of 23.
Some posters on here have ridiculous opinions of the guy and some strange fantasy about players commitment to Hibs.
The truth is it's a two way street. If a player is playing very well and attracting great interest from bigger clubs who will offer multiples of their current wage they will want to go there. Similarly if they are not playing well their club will want to ditch them.
We are obsessive about Hibs but as a rule our players are employees hired for their abilities and Hibs are their employer.

He has had a great season and will have another one next season or we will get a big wedge of cash which will pay for our recruitment for a couple of seasons. We won a watch when he came to Hibs. Fantastic call by whoever made it.

[The Tubs]

I questioned your character. I still feel it was valid.

[ElginHibbie]

Aye, if he goes it's with no ill will on my end, he's come in done a great job for most of the season and will have made the club a good profit.

[Unseen work]

In fairness I did watch the cup final and think he looked scared of getting injured. But I’m happy to admit that was probably in the heat of the moment and my real frustration was with the team overall as they struggled to create the slightest chance of find him in any sort of space.

In some games he really looks at it though - drops deep to get involved, runs the channels, puts himself about etc but there was none of that in the final so I can see why some form and stick by the opinion.

Again another that will probably go against the majority is that I hope he is sold this summer for the pure reason that I don’t think his stock will ever be higher. 17 goals in his debut season, Scotland call up and goal against the Netherlands and that’s before the Euros even start.

I think he’s the guy that’s always looking for that next challenge at to him he’ll have completed the SPFL, certainly at Hibs anyway and will be eyeing up where he can go next to prove himself. If he doesn’t get the move I’m not sure how he will cope, especially if Boyle and Irvine move on.

He’s had a terrific season and I think he’s a very good player and will continue to go on and impress at a higher level but I think the time may be right.

I bet all you people slagging Kevin Nisbet for simply trying to make the most of what potential he has and that includes the potential for big bucks, wish you were him.
Don't know why so many get their scants in a twist.
Hibs have always been open to offers for any player so let's just hope he has a good Euros and we can make a tidy profit

Good post

[jacomo]

I think it’s pretty clear that Kevin has ambitions to move on from Hibs, I’d have respected him more if he’d kept his head down throughout the season and not made any noises around moving in January. He contributed well over the season and was a big reason we ended 3rd in the league. However, I only want players at Hibs who are 100% focused on delivering for us, for that reason I’d be happy enough to see Kevin move on for the right price in the summer and I’d wish him well.


I’m more than prepared to cut him some slack.

He had a set back early in his career which meant he had to drop down a level and work harder to make it, and his dad died last year.

Both these factors may have contributed to him thinking that he had to grab the first opportunity for a big pay day as soon as it came along.

He’s still young though and another season at Hibs would benefit him. I hope he stays.

Great post, where I am on the subject and I ain't going to pretend I know anything about what's in Kevin's head, except if he did have the good sense to reject a move to the thieves I'm grateful.

The Kamberi comments are daft.

What has he done apart from playing well for us, scoring lots of goals and securing us a tidy sell on profit.

Sure, he got his head turned by a big money offer when it came to him. So what. He's young, it happens...Plenty players get punted on by Hibs when they are surplus to our requirements. Loyalty only goes so far. Its a business. You may be Hibs till you die, not all our players will and nor should we expect them to be.

[Jim44]

He's better than Kamberi, but apart from that you hit the nail on the head.


And if he's going to Celtic, I hope Ron is well versed on how they try to do business.

I can’t believe some of the drivel being spewed out on this forum. You’re happy to see one of our best players ( and without doubt he is, despite the hatred he appears to have earned from quite a few ) kicked along the M8 to one of our main rivals because he, unsurprisingly, had his head turned at Christmas and because he was one of many who let the club down in the final.

[Mon Dieu4]

Can't wait to get back to ER so I can boo our top goalscorer and someone who is going to make Hibs a decent wedge of cash when we decide to cash in

Booooooooo

[WeeRussell]

Peoples imaginations running wild because he didn’t play well in the final.

It’s really quite sad. Squirrel was brutal in the final - I can’t imagine him getting this if he had just scored for Australia, it would be the usual sticking the boot in because he wasn’t selected for Scotland when he wasn’t good enough.

Really is a sad reflection of how bad this place has got over several threads every day since the final when what was a decent conversation has descended into slagging Scotland fans and our top scorer/Scottish international representative.. basically immediately after he scored his first goal for Scotland.

Do folk never think about how pathetic they come across when carrying on like that?

Remember how good Kamberi was for a while though? Absolutely exceptional form and a key part of Lennon’s cracking side during the second half of that season.

It wasn’t all huffs, injuries, balls bouncing off him, fall-outs and hun-praising.

We couldn’t have known that that was the way it was going to go but Flo should have left after an outstanding loan spell and not returned.

Knowing when to leave us a talent and I’m convinced the time is right for Nisbet to move on. Earlier than for most players but he’s achieved what he set out to do and needs to do what he needs to do next.

A few goals for Scotland this summer and a few £££££ to Hibs would be lovely.

Win win.

[ArmadaleHibs]

Kevin is a young lad with a dream to play at the highest level. I love hibs more than pretty much anything with the exception of my kids and family but you just have to accept that we are a stepping stone to a greater good for footballers. Is he lazy, yes!! Is he frustrating, yes,!! Could he have done more, yes!! Is he destined for better things, yes!!.

There’s a reality in football that is the same for us whether your a painter and decorator, an electrician, a plumber, or whatever in life. In work you mostly look to progress or better yourself. Me and you are the FANS. We’re the ones who have the club embroidered in our hearts. The other lot are the players. Every now and then one or two slip through the net and just love hibs. The majority though are here to progress. It’s football. We all adore John mcginn because he stayed a little longer and really got the club. But Kevin could get us a fee that could sustain future signings with a good fee. The difference is a wee bit of loyalty and feeling for the club. But at the end of the day they all move on. Did he say horrid things in the press or did his agent. Who knows. Who cares. The circle of players continue. If your a joiner and I offer you a years contract to help build 50 houses and you get £40k or another firm offers you the same kind of work for £70k, where are you going to go or say you want to go. Love these players whilst they are here, but they will go. We ain’t Real Madrid, which is where they are ALL aiming for.

Celtic had their worst season in a decade, we had our best in 16 years and they still finished 14 points ahead of us. They definitely aren't our rivals.

I don't want to see Kevin go but like others I can't say he's a player I feel a strong bond over and I'm happy to trust the club on how they deal with any interest. Unlike with SJM, if he's going to leave I wouldn't be that fussed with us accepting a bid from Celtic if it was the best offer for Hibs.

Selling Nisbet for good money and getting Leigh back would be a great bit of business imo.

Completely agree. If we were to receive between 3-5 million for him then its been brilliant for the club and Kevin will have secured a big time move, He's also a hugely significantly better player than Kamberi ever was or will be. Granted, he was well below par for the final but then so were the rest of the team bar Macey. Who wouldn't want a team packed full of top quality footballing die hard Hi bees whose only ambition is to play at ER? However, the next best thing especially these days is acquiring hungry quality footballers with or without a Hibs connection at knock down prices who go on to progress with us to such a level that their value increases into the millions of pounds. No complaints from me about Kevin Nisbet. Will wish the laddie all the best when he leaves, with the club sure to be more than adequately compensated.

Squirrel WAS brutal in the final but he’s got a lot of credit in the bank with us over a decent length of time. Nisbet’s only been with us a year and whilst he’s been an undoubted success, it’s only been a year - and one with a few blips along the way too.

And whilst Squirrel has an awful lot of credit in the bank - it was a poor performance in a big game at Hampden - not his first. It’s not “sell him now” material but a mark in the negative column.

Boyle shouldn’t be getting a free ride.

[WeeRussell]

Are you trying to call him wallpaper or walloper?

I think we should be told so we fully understand the gravity of the unnecessary insult.

Certainly did take time to read that post, as I did the two diametrically opposed to it. I know which ones summed up Nisbet’s position perfectly. Opinions, eh?

[wookie70]

Had a fantastic season and is now looking excellent on the International Stage. He has been a SJM type signing in being of huge value very quickly after signing, guaranteed to make us a huge profit and may well make us money in future sales. It is win win whether he goes or stays and I hope we continue to try and get the best of young players with potential. I can't believe any Hibs fan thinks he was holding back in the final when all 10 outfield players were as bad as each other. Wish the chance Irvine had could have fallen to Kev.

Nobody is “sell him now” material because of that one cup final.

I pretty much agree with your post above though. Albeit my point was how pathetic this thread has turned - with a quality moment for Scotland and Nisbet resulting in our player being called a prick and Scotland fans being slagged for the same and apparently only going to the odd game (all around the world) because one person once said a bad word to another poster.

Football players are mercenaries breaking news.

Some of them happen to build an affinity with the clubs they play for. It’s more difficult for them to do so when they have never played in front of the fans of a club. It’s also more difficult for fans to build an affinity with a team without seeing them in person.
