PH said the deal was dead for Ojo. His agent then found him another team who has bid money for him. How’s that being greedy?Quote:

Is he? Then so are any of our players who we signed that had another offer on table but we paid more so joined us.Quote:

I'm not trying to say that Ojo would have any sort of impact like Stokes. More point out that his appearing to be an ******** doesn't mean he couldn't have had a positive impact on our team. After all some of big winners in world football seem to be the biggest ********s going.
I wonder who brings that arrogance - that sheer belief that they deserve to win - to our current squad. Nobody that played against Stirling that is for sure.
Hold on a minute, when we were pissing all over European clubs last season, we had an unbalanced side and some players who were sheite/Quote:

I'm sure those who were criticising our woeful team last season will be along soon to explain things.
My comment was in response to someone who already appeared to have made up their mind that this seasons squad was poorer than last’s. Whats your beef with that? The squads not even complete yet.Quote:

No. Ojo agreed a deal with us, based on his mistaken or dishonest interpretation of his contract clause. He then went on strike once his contract clause was denied. Hibs offered his club money to ease things over. Ojo then got wind of another offer, and renaged on a deal which he very possibly lied about his current contractual situation to get.Quote:

Arsenal have reportedly bid £25m for Tierney. Baffled if Celtic reject that.
PH said himself that Aberdeen offered S****horpe money first which we then matched.Quote:

Theres no way you would reject that. It's also what we should have got for McGinnQuote:

Agree that McGinn was worth far more than we received but Tierney's got 4 years on his contract.Quote:

Similarly if he does well at Arsenal he will command a much bigger fee than what Celtic will get. It's just the upward spiral of playing for a bigger club equals more money.
Unfortunately for us Hibs will never in our history receive a transfer fee of £25 million , it's highly unlikely we will ever get half that.
Are you going to also dismiss any and all concerns about the squad and repeat your mantra that quality only becomes available at the end of the window if we’re harking back to what was being said last summer?Quote:

Let's hope we can finally get a midfielder in who raises the current standards in midfield and is able to control/boss games who puts Aberdeen and players like Ojo in their place.Quote:

A- the rest is history!!
Hibs again offered money (2nd time this window) made a good offer and sold the club to Ojo. He went another way, good luck but as the manager said he only wants players who wants us!!!
Next target will be identified and hopefully they get their man.
What about lee cattermole? Sunderland connection at the club freed from there, there is a DCM
There's nothing dishonest about taking a better offer. Only a complete ****ing idiot would take the offer of less moneyQuote:

As a general point, sometimes people retire to the PM board when the arguing gets too much on here - I understand that, and do it myself as it can get a bit much.
What I dont understand (this isnt you, by the way) is people seeming to manufacture all sorts of arguments - I didnt bite, but sometimes people seem to be attempting to get reactions rather than having any reasoned debate - then coming back and crying about it if people suggest they are at it.
Hearing the players have been up to see Rod P complaining about the management

It was interesting that Heckingbottom said Aberdeen had a bid accepted last week for Ojo, we heard about it and matched them. Surely indicates we had moved on to other targets already. Hopefully see one or two come in shortly.
Us, Aberdeen and Hearts all after James Morrison according to Keith Downie. Good player but not exactly the energy and power I was expecting.
Between our original agreement with the player & his contract dispute we changed owners & received a cash injection. By that time however Sheep had made a bid. Not sure how anyone at ER can be blamed in this case.Quote:

It's dishonest when you've already told us that you're happy with our offer, which he did before he was caught out with his contract.Quote:

Hibs wait until the dispute is resolved. Then his club name their price when Aberdeen come calling, and we match it. He comes up the road, we offer the same terms we agreed to, and he decides that, actually, after already messing the club about regarding his contract, bhe wants to go haggle the pennies with Aberdeen. They can have him, and hopefully a sound shoeing from big Darren when he comes up against us.
If both marciano and Flo move on as reported we will be unrecognisable as a team. It is no wonder there is as of yet little chemistry in the team it will take time .
The main thing is is any money coming in from these players should be spent on the the team.
That could bring in some proven talent to make a immediate difference.
I'm not keen on marciano leaving he is an exceptional keeper .

Experienced and I’d imagine would still have something to offer up here. He was coming through the youth academy the same time Robbie Stockdale was at Middlesbrough so there is a connection of some sort.Quote:
