According to the Express this morning Darren Barr turned down a pre contract with Hibs, it was for three years but We did not offer him the terms he was looking for. Sorry no link as i actually bought this rag this morning.

Would imagine Hughes will have a number of targets and when one of that number knocks us back (assuming the article to be true) he will move on to another.

No big deal really.

It's in the Daily Star (cheap 25p paper for change for the bus before any of you get a hard on!).

May is quoted as saying that DB turned down Hibs due to the money on offer and wants more so will prob end up in the Championship.

**hibiedude** · 31-12-2009 12:13 PM

He's not turned Hibs down but turned the offer Hibs made him down.

Showing his class again...

**GreenCastle** · 31-12-2009 12:15 PM

Is Eddie May his agent

For a fellow Hibee who I used to like he's turning into a bit of a muppet

I wasn't that convinced about Barr anyway. I would go for Webster if at all possible. Him and Neil Alexander would do for me.

Webster won't be going anywhere until the summer and I can't see the Huns letting their no 2 go anytime soon without semi decent dosh..

**James Connolly** · 31-12-2009 12:20 PM

No great loss if true; never overly impressed me the times i've seen him.

**CorrieHibs** · 31-12-2009 12:21 PM

Not that bothered to be honest don't think he is anything special.
Would take Webster in a heartbeat but don't think we could afford him.

Think he might be back at Greyskull when Bougherra leaves?

Is Barr that good? I have watched him only a few times so I am not best placed to comment. However, is he actually better than Hogg?! I know that Hogg divides opinion and I am opening a can of worms but is there much point in going for him other than the fact he is free? Free is maybe the key word!

probably better on the ball than hogg but as a defender a dont think hes great at all not much of a presence and hes not as good as hogg in the air

***lucky*** · 31-12-2009 12:40 PM

If he signs then all the netters so have slagged him if this thread eat their words? Its the first offer so chill let RP do his job

I've seen a lot of Barr over the years at various age levels and would be delighted if he signed.

Athletic (quick, strong), aggressive, good on the ball, reads the game well and is far better in the air than people give him credit for. He's not the biggest but has a great leap on him - as evident in Falkirk's game against Killie recently when he dominated Kevin Kyle aerially. Battle-hardened from captaining a struggling team from a young age and the type we should be going for - up and coming Scottish talent that we can develop and sell on for a decent fee.

My only concern would be that we'd have to play him as a centre-back, as I'm not so sure about him on the right. He's given away a couple of penalties recently that, although they were soft, made him look a bit clumsy coming inside to tackle.
