He had Stevenson in his back pocket on May 19, you could see Stevenson was feared to go near him therefore Black was allowed to do exactly what he wanted and had acres of space to do it in.
dont want to sound paranoid but if black was a Hibs player he would probably get sent off every second week.Quote:

Absolutely .... I agree with all this .
Go get him
Id love it if we had someone in our team that made other fans say that, but the majority of them are far from intimidating. People will have their own opinions, but Black would be an ideal signing for us imo, he has plenty of ability, a desire to win and a mental toughness thats sorely lacking at the moment. Hes far better than any of our current midfielders.Quote:

I don't like the guy, but I can see his practical usefulness in a team that has struggled to assert itself at home for three or four seasons now. TBH, right now I'd take Joey Barton if he were free and available and willing to come to ER.
I don't care who we sign and from which teams we sign them from. All i want is better players than we currently have. We are starting from rock bottom. We have a great chance to finish 2nd maybe even win a cup if we get the right players in! Rangers r bust and Hearts have weakend. We just need a team thats better than Well and United to get 2nd IMO
What makes anyone with all their marbles think that?Quote:

We all hope the players we bring in are good, but ffs talk of 2nd place is a little premature.
Ian Black football ability wise yes, cocaine snorting annoying hearts fan prick, no.
Why all the talk about Black??
He's no coming anywhere near ER.
A player like Black would be good.
Take it you'd not be happy if he signed? What about Zal or Temps?Quote:

Finishing 5/6th this year would be a poor season IMO. ps if we don't sign any decent players our currentvsquad would be relegated /in relegation battle as off the team we have today. If Pats the man and Petrie releases some funds we r in a great position to finish 2nd imo.Quote:

I can see us finishing 2nd or 3rd.
Big IFS though aren't they?
Why would anyone with all their marbles be discussing Ian Black to Hibs.Quote:

Move on guys to more realistic targets FFS.

Agree they are big "IF's" but thats the beauty off pre season a club like Hibs must believe that we can finish the best off the rest each season as a minimum. Starting with any other thought ie finishing mid table is just unacceptable imo. During the season we have plenty of time to measure actual results v expectations.
Im hoping we get the players we need...with Rangers going bust its now we need to do everything to finish second as they'll be back in the SPL within a few years
I'd take Black at Hibs but its not going to happen. As for facing relegation I doubt it every much it will be Dundee or the Pars and they will be down April.
