Anyone else leaping between a heart and head scenario, the head saying “there are a lot of questions on whether he’s worth the risk” and the heart saying “I’d love to see Leigh in a Hibs shirt one more time”?

Anyone else leaping between a heart and head scenario, the head saying “there are a lot of questions on whether he’s worth the risk” and the heart saying “I’d love to see Leigh in a Hibs shirt one more time”?
Not really.
Previously he was on a massive wage and under contract at Celtic which meant coming back to Hibs was always a total non starter.
However, if as we all suspect Celtic don't take up their option to keep Leigh for another season everything changes and all the cards shift to Hibs side.
Leigh would no longer be under contract so no transfer fee and he would have no contract for next season.
If JR wants him offer him a tenner more than Hibs current top earner. A year contract with an option for another year.
A years wage is no risk at all and as we all know he could provide the X factor to add to our current efficient team.
Nothing to lose if JR wants Leigh.

It seems to me that Ron Gordon is pretty switched on about what is needed to drive revenue forward. A signing like Leigh would have fans snapping up season tickets and buying shirts. It would also give the club an fair bit of publicity, making sponsors and advertisers easier to get on board.
There might be a small risk with him on the park, off it the right commercial head could make a bit of money.
Aberdeen chairman said they will be spending more than hibs and will be focusing on goal scorers
One of the biggest no brainer transfers in our history.
Emmanuel-Thomas looks a decent player.
Bartley struggling now
And the no 5 😂
