Everton have released him and Hamilton on verge of signing him. Thought he was excellent against us when with Gretna. Plenty to offer.

Sadly we are just a selling club

I suspect Rod is too busy working on the next sale rather than getting caught up in the trivialities of trying to recruit replacements for a weakened squad....

After all it's an easier way for Rod and his partner Scott Lindsay to justify their 400K package.

Was that the wee curly haired chap?

He did look good but not really the type of player we should be looking to recruit. Another extra from Time Bandits isn't top of my wish list (unless Zouma is sold!).

**~~Captain Trips~~** · 12-08-2009 12:59 PM

If he is free and I would assume not a high earner he is a player who from what I saw looked ok. Is he better than what we have? Maybe but Hamilton might be offering security of long deal. Im sure JH knows of him and would be looking at him if thought would be of value.

***blackpoolhibs*** · 12-08-2009 01:03 PM

He's ok, but we have enough ok players. Quality over quantity please.

**hibsbollah** · 12-08-2009 01:08 PM

He looked a lot better than 'OK'. Could sort out our right midfield issue.

Who exactly is NOT a selling club ?

The Hibs board have shared with John Hughes a budget, according to the manager the board are doing everything they can to assist with new signing's.

Player's will be keeping their options open for another two weeks.

It's called business....

Can you name me a club that has spent more on transfer fees outwith the OF in the last 2 or 3 yrs?

Dundee?

**Baw187** · 12-08-2009 01:41 PM

We do and have bought loads of players in recent years.... most of which have been turd. This lad looked half decent in one game against us but that's no reason to moan cause we didn't sign him and he was available.

Yogi will know specifically who he wants and needs and will be keeping his budget for these players as oppose to some random character that looks ok.

Dundee?

Riordan was 400k or so
Nish 100k
Rankin 100k
O'Brien 150k
Maka 150k

Further back a little we have Jones at about 200k.

I don't think Dundee have spent that?

**hibsdaft** · 12-08-2009 01:53 PM

could make a great understudy for Zouma imo

**truehibernian** · 12-08-2009 01:57 PM

Jeezy peeps ! First we had the Famous Five then Turnbulls Tornadoes.......if we signed Kissock would our midfield not be referred to as the Midget Gems. Good wee player but looks far to like a shrunken Brian May for my liking......perms and curly hair should be banned.......have we not learned anything since laughing at Hans Eskillson over the road !

We spend 100k on Rankin? Jeez 99.9k too much there

He's certainly not very high.

When he played against us there was a half inch gap between the top of his socks and the bottom of his shorts.

Free or not he would not strenghten the squad.

IMO

He was no more than a decent player shining in a ****** team for me..
Remember Fabian Yantorno was Gretnas answer to Diego Marradonna..

Can you name me a club that has taken in more on transfer fees outwith the OF in the past 2 or 3 years?

Oh and how our % of reinvestment of they fees compares to others?

That's all very well Andy,but how many clubs have taken in as much as we have in the last 3 yrs through transfers(including the OF) .The amount re-invested in the team on the park is a disgrace IMHO.

Well there's Hearts and we compare very favourably indeed.

Maybe the point should have been wider.

What clubs have built a top class training facility, have almost completed a top notch stadium, have paid off significant existing debts and paid more in transfer fees than anyone else outside the OF.

Were the AOB, Riordan and Maka fees disclosed?

Exactly - and we're the last team outwith the OF to win a trophy in Scotland.

Was talking about Kissock the other week, thought he really looked the part at Gretna when I saw him which granted, wasn't much. Given availability and potential wages could maybe be a good understudy to Zem, but as others have said, Yogi knows best

There is a bigger picture here..

Stadium infrastructure

Training centre

Under 19's / invest in youth

Lack of Setanta funds

The fact that the board is still backing the manager.....

Keeping the club on a strong financial basis, so my son and his children can watch Hibs.

Of course, we could follow your model, which has already been tried by bigger clubs than Hibs and failed.

You seem to be forgetting who was at the helm when the debts were totalling up to their peak in the first place do you not..
