You sound like Craig Levein when he signed Steven McLean, he doesn't do much and i like the fact he can't run.Quote:

Yup heard the same. He was keen to come, but we thought we had someone better lined up so stalled on the deal. He then signed an extension with St J and we missed out on both.Quote:

I don't think he could play upfront by himself as he doesn't score enough goals. As an option from the bench or player with a partner I think he'd be a decent signing.
Would have been a good deputy for Doidge and great foil for Nisbet.Quote:

Kane's one of these strikers who are great at the defensive side of the game but weak at the attacking side.
If you actually want to have possession, create chances and take them then he's pretty hopeless.
If you want to hack, chop, elbow, niggle, win free kicks and nick the odd goal from a set piece before all out defending then he's your man.
A 451 with him as the focal point would be eye bleedingly awful.
He's not without his uses, although he wouldn't be my choice of a striker to play for Hibs.
The more I hear about our approach to the last transfer window the more I realise why we are in the position we are in now.Quote:

Goodness me, people can't seriously be after Chris Kane...
Surprised there even needs to be a discussion about that one if I'm honest!
Not sure many on here are, but the manager a lot of folk are unhappy about being sacked did.Quote:

Not above boyle. Of course not. Miles above Gullan, Scott and sadly at the moment, NisbetQuote:

Very Connor salmon-esque
Described as hard working cause they’re pish in front of goal
No thanks
And people wonder why Mathie & Ross have been binned.Quote:

If Jack Ross was after Chris Kane I'm delighted he was sacked before getting another transfer window.
Think Kane would have been a reasonable addition to our front line. Different type of forward player and gave us so many problems last season.
I’m sorry our current strikers are or have both been slated for not scoring goals yet folk think Kane would be a good signing.
If jack Ross wanted Kane folk would be doing there dinger that there’s players all across the world out there and he wants players who have experience of the league.
We probably wouldn't. They would probably also only be bench replacements. Jamie G has only ever started 3 league games, none at ER and he's never been given 90 minutes. Scott also only has 3 league starts but he almost got 90 minutes for 2 of those.Quote:
