I thought the derby exemplified his mentality problems. He probably felt that it was a game fiitting of his stature so put in perhaps our best individual performance of the season. The rest of the time he couldn't be arsed.Quote:

I think he managed to get through games on adrenaline in his first few games, given he’d been out for so long. Seemed to wear off.Quote:

I wouldn’t be shocked if NMW turned around next season and found his place. His problem is a general rashness in and out of possession - silly tackles, silly loose passes. A run of games to set him might make a big impact, but there’s no chance a player coming good 18 months later is a favour by the team that sold him- we’ve already paid plenty in fees and wages.Quote:

Marcondes played under Montgomery. Agree with the general point though. A good player of that there is little doubt, it wasn’t shown here though.Quote:

Just seen it reported on SSN that Herenveen are hoping to sign him, hopefully it's done quicklyQuote:

NMW made a valuable contribution during our great run. He was very unfortunate to find himself on the bench once we found the perfect midfield combination. Boy is hardly a dud. Your comments are well out of order. You really think we were picking up the tab for Marcondes wage?Quote:

Way out of our league, wonder what Bournemouth plans are for Kroupi? i think they have a real gem on their hands.
Would hope to hear something about Rocky and Hoilett come the end of the week.
Vente out with Rocky, Triantis and Hoilett signing would cap off a good week with the draw and the home kit release.
Maybe want to see what he's like in ligue 1. Not sure if he's good enough but definitely a talent.Quote:

Myko was average at best, missed some sitters and basically not good enough.
With Gayle already gone and Myko now confirmed as not coming back, a striker must be pretty high up our shopping list.
Add in Vente possibly away and maybe Youan, we're getting a wee bit short on firepower.Quote:

I wasn't that fussed about him to be honest but now having seen that I'm kinda hoping we haven't missed out on anything here, he's a good option to have and something a bit different.
By all accounts on twitter Scotland /Holland Vente deal to leave nearly done to Heerenveen €2mQuote:

Apparently more around the 1M mark… and I think his old club have a sell on fee altho not sure how much.Quote:

I don’t see us going back to one up top either.
Where are you seeing the £1m mentioned? I'm sure I have only seen the £2m or little over €2m being mentioned.Quote:

What did these three contribute in our long unbeaten run and in the last 6 months of the season. Very little in some cases or nowt for others.
We have lost bodies and hopefully freeing up big salaries to be spent on new players. This is vital to balance our costs as we lost nearly £7m in the last accounts.
We will sign players in the next couple of weeks.
Myko played a big part, as did Gayle, both away.Quote:

Maybe better bringing him back and playing him under his contract. By the time we’ve payed off Roda there won’t be much left. If true of course.Quote:

I see it as a pretty good deal for us getting a bit more than we paid out. He’s not been a good signing and re couping our outlay is fine. I’d say I’d be happy to get a million quid fir Youan too
God I need a rumour or something, been awfully quiet at ER last week
Big job on our hands bringing in forward due to Myk, Gayle and probably Youan away.
I really like Bowie but he still has a bit to prove for me. Shown he’s a brilliant impact sub but not the same effect from the start imo. Hopefully a full pre season makes him excel next season
Need quite a few players in
Agreed. Starting to look a bit thinQuote:

Would be interesting to know how much interest there actually is in him at the moment given how the last 12-18 months have went.Quote:

I think that too.Quote:

Signing .. Aussie .. Number 10? Boyles 10 , Triantis was 26 . Maybe hinting at signing a striker who can play as an attacking midfielder? Or just nothing in it .Quote:

Thats part of problem he's not level of Ajax psv and feynoord. He's not a star signing as only Heerenveen interest at moment suggests he's also 26 and available for free in a yearQuote:

Are we not trying to improve not go significantly backwards? Sylla would be a huge downgrade on him. Luckily he's signed for someone else anyway. I actually don't mind Shaughnessy as a player but not the level we should be looking at.Quote:

I don't understand why Vente can't be one of them - whatever issues he has, surely it's up to the management team to sort them out and get him playing well for Hibs.Quote:

Totally agree. We have a very good player thereQuote:

Last year of his contract too iirc and he’s already intimated that he wants to leave
Take the money and reinvest it
As well as an underwhelming season with us & going into last year of contract he’s publicly said he wants away. We have few saleable asssets so would be silly to take a risk on this one. and risk squad harmony with an unhappy player.Quote:

It’s understood talks between the clubs have reached an advanced stage.
Hibs are expected to make a profit.
He cost them £700k. Roda JC will be due % of profit.
Rudi isn't a striker.Quote:
