Sproule Return Rumour

[aberhibsfc]

Heard a rumour today regards Ivan Sproule.

The rumour is that Sproule is looking to leave Bristol and would like to come back to ER. Hibs are aware of the situation and are keen to bring him back.

Anyone else heard anything on this, any meat on this rumours bones?

Hope not TBH.

Sproule was terrific for us, however we've got Zemmama playing right wing now and if he's injured or leaves then we have the ideal replacement in Wotherspoon.

[blackpoolhibs]

I'd like him back, although i dont think he'd make the first 11.

[Haymaker]

Rumour appears every couple of months... as unlikely now as has always been.

Impact sub at best. He won't shift Zemmama from the right side and I'd rather see Wotherspoon being the back up on the right if we do get a new right back.

We've also Galbraith for the role of speedy winger/striker.

Anyone else miss O'Brien though?

Appreciate your thoughts, very logical.

I thought that it would allow Zemmama to move inside with Miller with Wotherspoon at RB.

Or Sproule can also play down the left wing.

Just imagine Sproule and O'Brien on the same bench.

[MoantheCabbage]

Super sub for me. No way he would take the place of Zouma, Riordan, Miller, Mcbride or Benji at this moment

[M8UDB]

Not to bothered if he comes back or not TBH. Last season i would have gone down there and picked him up myself but things have changed this season. He would be a super sub at best but i realy want to see Galbraith and Wotherspoon get there chance from the bench and i cant see anyone taking the place of Zouma

NO.

You can't have too many players that give 150% or think along the lines of my signature in your team!

Let Yogi worry about fitting them into the team, having players like that at the club keeps the place buzzing.

[ChilliEater]

Stuff the 4-2-4 and play a 3-2-5!

Stack

Hogg, Bamba, Murray

McBride, Miller

Sproule, Zemmamma, Benji, Stokes, Riordan



I think that may have been the formation the last time we won the title

[Calvin]

SPL defences are looking dodgier than ever, and if a game is heading for a draw he's the perfect player to inject some energy and exploit tiredness and incompetence form defenders.

I noticed on Saturday that we didn't really have an impact player to bring on - I would take Ivan back.

Would love to see Ivan back at Hibs..

Can never have too many good attacking players and guys that will lift the crowd and get them out their seats!!

Come home Ivan, you'll always be welcome at ER

It would be foolish not to take him back I reckon, as long as he doesn't expect to be first choice then the more decent players the better.

I think Saturdays game was tailor made for a sub with pace.

And we brought on Galbraith.

I'd still take Ivan back in a flash though.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

If he is heading back this side of the border, then it will be to Celtic, I would have thought. If we were to have sufficient funds to buy and pay a player of his quality, then I would be spending it on a different area of the team [ back four]. Middle to front, I think that we are more than well covered for a club of our size and that includes players we would class as first team picks, squad picks and youngsters.

[NOLA]

he wouldn't come back to sit on the bench IMO

[Hibercelona]

Can't believe some people are saying they aren't bothered about him coming back.

He would still be a huge addition to the squad IMO.

I was thinking more like instead of Nish.

Don't think anyone is doubting what he would offer the team it's more what will happen to Wotherspoons progress that would worry me.

[Zazu62]

Didnt he just sign a new contract for Bristol City?

Need to keep our money for a CH/RB IMHO.

i understand what you mean,but i wouldnt say he was a player of quality,actually i bet you would find better ametuer footballing players..

ivan sproule was effective with his pace...but did not have quality

Then surely bringing Sproule in isn't a bad thing?

Wotherspoon is very talented... But he's still too young to keep up consistency on a weekly basis, as shown against Rangers.

If we could add Sproule back into the squad.... It would allow us to break Wotherspoon in more slowly.

The last thing a young lad needs, is his confidence dented when he realizes he can't keep up the same consistency week in week out.

He's getting that as cover for Zemmama, the only thing we found out against Rangers is that he's not a natural right back and i think many of us knew that already.

If Sproule came in then assuming he wouldn't be signed as 3rd choice winger then Wotherspoon would be, i don't see how that could be anything but bad for his development after making such a promising start to his senior career.
