Promising. Moore looks like he'd be a decent signing too. Scored in the recent play offs?
Edit: his manager doesn't think he is going. This from today:
Davis also revealed the club are making progress on Moore's new contract, adding: "We are very close with Byron. I spoke with his agent on Monday and have had conversations with Byron over the last week. I will speak again with his agent and hopefully we can get something agreed."
Keeper and wide man (app signed) that leaves 2 x strikers/another Ch and a MF
According to his Wikipedia 'Hibernian' signed for us yesterday.Quote:

"We let 14 or 15 players go and we are not going to be in a position to sign that many players but we have brought in four and we are hoping we can bring in a few more to strengthen the squad," he said.
So just three or four more, which would give us a squad size of 24.
There is another story from 4th July (I think) that say's he's signed (for Crewe). Apparently not much interest in him so has signed for another year. Not sure we were every in for this guy.Quote:

If he was to sign for an English club Crewe would receive compensation but if we get him they are entitled to nothing.
IIRC it was the same with Clayton Donaldson.
They would lose out on compensation as he is U24. If he stayed and signed for a club down there they would get some.Quote:

So where are we at with regards to the following......
Any word on deano?
Any word on lubo?
Any word on that skilled guy who wasn't fit enough in the January?
And a big striker who scores a large number of goals, name to be confirmed......?
And for what it's worth, I would take maybury and Kerr. I know that this is a debate for another thread but they would be good solid squad players with the right work ethos and good attitude to have around the training facility for the younger players.
And I also have a feeling Leigh will be back.

It's more than a bit doubtful they knew anything about him but they still talked him up and then used the 'stolen from under the noses of Rangers' angle to perpetuate the myth.
We should be judging Claros in the coming season and not on what we had to endure from the whole squad last season

Has this not been discussed already?
Does anyone other than PF rate Doyle?
I do.Quote:

The kind of forward who will run the channels, drag players about and create space.
I most certainly do.Quote:

Absolutely. His movement is excellent and I think he'll be an important player this yearQuote:

Not so obvious how many games Beattie would play. No thanks.
Doyle reminds me of Kenny Miller. He (Eion) is a very intelligent off the ball footballer. Watch his movement closely in games, in particular watch how he always plays with his head up and remains onside. Makes use of space well, loses markers, looks across the line, gets in behind.Quote:

Leigh and Doyle would be a terrific partnership, however this would rely on a good, quick passing game - neither will win very many ariel battles.
Doyle will be a mainstay next season I think.
He'll likely get many better offers than anything we'd be willing/able to give him.
Besides, don't think I have ever known a player to become so entrenched in yammishness and yammery so quickly over such a short period of time. Nothing against us signing ex-yams but there are certain ones that I could not face having to support and despite his short stay there, he is one of them.
Yeah, he has decent pedigree and would do well in the spl and did well enough for them though can't help but feel his contribuation has been a bit over stated by many yams and non-yams alike. He was there for about 3 months and scored three goals albeit a derby goal and a semi final winner (a penalty though, most professionals can score them) among them but he hardly charged them towards a top finish in the league and single handedly got them to the cup final.
Plus, he is another player who seems to spend more time on the treatment table than the pitch. He'd take up too much of our budget and I'd rather strengthen in a couple more positions than pay over the odds for the likes of him.
Obvious problem, wages.
Gaz won't be back this season...

I remember the game where Kenny Dalglish told Keith Wright, " you run the channels and I'll find you" result was 4 goals to Keith that day.
Don't know the goals-minutes ratio but Doyle has started 8 times and scored 3 goals - he has come off the bench 8 times.Quote:

I assumed because he was a Celtic player but after checking his Wiki it does say he played youth level for Rangers, his boyhood team.Quote:

Doyle has a brilliant football brain and I could see cairney being a midfield player who will find his runs and link up well with him.
Actually Trakys was an example of how it does work, although he only played about 3 games the Rangers and Motherwell games I think they were, were about the most complete centre forward performances we've had for some time - he was holding it up and it allowed midfield players to get forward and score goals.Quote:

If you mean complete in the sense of no goals, shots at goal or headers on goal I would agree:greengrinQuote:

Cue Goram letting a soft Robertson free kick slip through.Quote:

I can see Doyle sticking around with us and also scoring a shedload of goals. Very, very clever player and will link well with a decent attacking midfielder like Cairney.
This is supposed to be a rumours thread, where are all the rumours? Hasn't anyone "got a pal in the know" anymore? No sightings of Thierry Henry getting off the train in Edinburgh and getting into Rod Petrie's car?
I am very optimistic bout Cairney... I mentioned before that I would be delighted if he could become Hibs very own version if Paul Scholes... Got totally laughed at.Quote:

I think I maybe dreamed things.. but was he not pretty good for us until Yogi dropped him? Obviously I'd never want to sign him again - just the though of the 6-6 game makes me want to cry - but with less of a fanbase and less pressure, he could maybe be a decent signing?Quote:
