An enigma in a etc
He’s one of our best, if not our best player on his day. However when he picked up his injury in the summer there was sarcastic laughs from the coaching staff as if to say he’s at it. IMO of course.Quote:

Eh? Were you at the game where he came into contact with the opposition goalkeeper which quite clearly caused his injury?Quote:

Not sure why certain players come in for this absolute drivel being written about them...
Elie Youan is the type of player that comes along and really makes me appreciate what Alan Stubbs said in 2014, “we aren’t just going to sign players for the sake of signing players, we are going to make sure we sign players with the right character and attitude to play for hibs and want to play for hibs”
I don’t think you can put a price on those attributes , and while I don’t know the ins and outs of any players mindset or circumstances, in this instance it makes you appreciate players that love pulling on the jersey and getting down in the mud for the club.
Ok, I made it up…Quote:

Last time i saw him play he was leaping around celebrating with the fans and other players, and pointing at Boyle to thank him for his assist instead of doing a big ‘i am’ celebration.Quote:

Fit to play from Sunday after he attended a toe specialist he knows in France

If we get anything over £1m we should take it
That would be my thoughts too. It will be fascinating to see how Elie does in the Championship if he ends up there. I don't see him being the right type of player but he surprised me a good few times in a Hibs jersey.Quote:

He's been injured.
That's all there is to it.
Stop making stuff up.
What sort of toe injury keeps a player out for over a month when it’s not broken and nothing else has shown up on a scan?Quote:

The club could easily stop all the speculation by giving an actual update on his injury.Quote:

Gray has now revealed the injury is taking longer than expected to heal. He said: “That’s a frustrating one because we thought he would be back well before now. But it could just be one that rapidly heals.
“He’s got a problem with his toe from impact that it’s taking longer to settle. Because a lot of your force goes through it; you don’t realise until you hurt your big toe how much important it is with your balance and stuff.
“We did think it would settle down a lot quicker than it has. But again, it’s been x-rayed, he’s had an MRI, there’s nothing significant or structural going on in there. It’s just a healing process, it’s taking longer than we’d like.

There’s was another paragraph in that article. It was under the pictur of Gray.Quote:

The article was on the 9th of January, yet here we are on the 29th January and Youan is still unavailable.
Imagine a message board ( or a world for that matter) where people think the best of people, not the worst.
Is that only when you don't agree with someone else's opinion? I know this place is mad at time, but all we're doing is trading opinions. Without the facts, those of an open mindset can only take snippets of information and spin them the way that they think is correct.Quote:

I also find it strange that a player who appeared to have little motivation in the games that followed after his return from injury in mid-September suddenly seemed much more motivated from around the end of November, as if a switch had been flicked. Yes, it could be change in formation and/or improved fitness, but it is my opinion that he's realised he's not going to get a move if his form doesn't improve.
Yes, utter tripe some may say and have already said. I'm happy to be proven wrong. But that is my opinion and until I see more evidence then it won't change.
An open mindset? You are just lazily repeating completely unfounded nonsense. Some opinions are just wrong.Quote:

All about opinions though eh!
Hopefully Blackburn can agree a fee and we thank Ellie for his 8 or 9 good games in the last 18 months and move on.
I have to admit from a cynical point of view that if he is miraculously healed by this injection to play next week once the window is closed it doesn't exactly help halt the conspiracy theory that he didn't play to avoid scuppering a January exit like his injury in the summer most likely did.Quote:

If he does end up staying then hopefully he's motivated to be the best version of himself and earn a move in the summer and everyone can move on happy.
It shouldnt need saying but thats because Joe’s injury and Elie’s injury are different injuries and won’t heal the same. It is POSSIBLE that one player is playing through a pain barrier and one isn’t but we have absolutely no evidence either way. As was said above, we all have a choice; give our player the benefit of the doubt or don’t.Quote:
