You can’t show the door to players on good money on long contracts. Bartley and Milligan ran out of contract.Quote:

Massive Hearts fan as are his whole family but they treated him like **** when he got injured, I'd think he'd choose us before them.Quote:

Newell, decent quality but about the same as Horgan.
Doidge, good stats but at a lower level, Kamberi is the better player, decent cover.
Thanks.:aok:Quote:

So what’s he playing at then not signing players he thinks are better than the current squad?Quote:

5 goals against HeartsQuote:

Have Kamberi or McNulty (or even Maclaren) managed that?
Cummings is a F***y.
But he is our, Scottish cup winning, F***y.
Scott Allan didn't cover himself in glory when he tried to engineer a move to Rangers in his first stint with us leading many people to say the same kind of stuff about him when he came back on loan that is being said about Cummings now.
Like Allan, if he comes back older and wiser from things not working as expected he would be welcomed back with open arms from me.
Probably money, our big problem last season was balance in the squad and short on numbers when we got injuries. To get better players we need to spend more, we had a decent core last season but struggled when we lost players.Quote:

Stick with Shaw. He’s going to score 15 this season and more next.

Doidge would be a better pick as keeper with his experience of playing basketball similar to our former keeper Oli Gottskalksson… then again maybe not.Quote:

Oli the Goalie. There is a blast from the past. Sure he did a runner from a club down south instead of giving a drug sample. Banned I think.Quote:

At the recent Newcastle friendly Oli Shaw and Fraser Murray had the most first team appearances amongst those on the pitch and by some distance. The concern was that you wouldn’t really have known this going by their involvement. Friendly, at East Mains so not big time. But I’m expecting a bit more.
Kamberi has more top flight goals than Jason Cummings no matter how you choose to spin it.Quote:

He also has convictions for housebreaking and violence and driving under the influence with a minor in the car. Has served time!Quote:

He's better than Shaw for me.
Dont want Cummings back, would rather McNulty.
That's fine, but Kamberi has one goal (a penalty) in six derbies while Cummings has five in nine - arguably the most difficult game for a Hibs player to perform in.Quote:

Just had a look and Barnsley were apparently interested in Cummings when Hecky was their manager in 2017....
You got a link to the agent strop please?Quote:
