Must of sold his SOLE to be involved with that mob

Beattie is a decent player no doubt, but if we are going to have a fairly thin squad up front I am not to sure if someone so injury prone is the answer. A fit Craig Beattie could get a better club than hibs so it makes me think his injury problems are a little more significant.
On another note heard today that Wotherspoon was going out on loan, I have heard that one before so not too sure how realiable.
Wotherspoon's not going on loan.
He's looking forward to the new season at Hibs.
Are people going to cut any new signings a bit more slack if they're not the exciting names we were hoping for?
We wanted the huns out, we got them out, now we need to live with the reality of the situation that our already smaller budget will likely be cut further so players we previously turned our nose up at might now have to become targets. I'm thinking of the reaction from some to Kerr and Maybury training with us, IMO these are the sort of guys we may have to start going for as it'll be even harder to compete with lower league English sides.
The two things are not related, all clubs are in this situation. If the team give 100% and punch its weight, and are not outplayed by clubs spending half of what we do, that will be a start.
If they continue to play like a sunday league side, they will be criticised, and rightly so.
It's maybe cos i had a few beers too many last night but i don't follow what you mean?
I'm talking about peoples opinion on so called 'underwhelming signings' when they sign, not after a few games, i realise it's all relative and other teams will likely be worse than last year as well, thats my point (i think), players who we might previously have thought not good enough might now actually be good enough as other teams will be weaker as well.
Stating the obvious, but we need to bring in several more players to make a sustained/realistic challenge for second/third place. Griffiths, Deano, Riordan... look at these guys please!
What about casting our net further than ex-players?
I'd be interested to see if there was any value in players from poorer countries where a move to Scotland would be appealing, got to think there must be a few Greek players for example out there that aren't getting paid or concerned about earning a decent wage as a footballer over there.
Maybe i picked you up wrong, i agree any new players should be given a chance. No player should be berated during the games.
We have been crap, and yes this rangers fiasco has taken over the minds of scottish football fans, but hopefully thats over now and we can get back to concentrating on Hibs.
When the teams bad, we talk about that. When they are good, some of us are happy. This team need to start punching their weight, they need to start performing better, much better than they have been doing.
If they dont, then they will get stick, thats the name of the game now. The Hibs support have had enough crap, and voted with their feet over the last couple of seasons, that was bugger all to do with the Rangers situation.
We are all in this mess, but there's no reason at all why we should be at the bottom of this mess, other than bad management from the top.
Its time for them to lead us out of this mess, if they dont the result will be more folk walking away.
Byron Moore signs a new contract with Crewe.
Michalik turns us down it seems
Has he signed for someone else?
I notice the Sun reporting that ex Dundee Utd full back Michael Kovacevic has joined Ross County for a weeks trial. I'd be happy if we made a move for him. Can also play centre back, proven in SPL, within our budget, much better option than Maybury IMO.
