Michael Hart

**HibbyRod** · 06-07-2010 07:16 PM

I've never posted a "rumour" before......However, I am down in Manchester for a couple of days with my colleagues, and some of the PNE people "in the know"

said that Michael Hart is on his way up to Edinburgh to sign for "The Mighty Cabbage"...(....my description!) tonight.

Hope it is true....but apologies if it turns out to be a loady.....!!

Here's hoping!

Also, apologies if this has been posted earlier today...and also they may have been winding a "Hibby Nutter" up! (Please merge, if so.)

I think your people may well be right - he's certainly been a target for Yogi for a while

**IWasThere2016** · 06-07-2010 07:29 PM

I think we'll see him at EEP on Saturday

***.Sean.*** · 06-07-2010 07:33 PM

Rather have Gray from Man United.

I'd rather have hart over gray. We need the experience and not another kid to develop.

**bighairyfaeleith** · 06-07-2010 07:37 PM

not many pne fans sorry to see hart leave by the sound of things

***MrSmith*** · 06-07-2010 07:40 PM

Wouldn't worry! FJ will intercept before he gets to us!!

Hart isn't getting any younger, he may well have even lost some of his pace from his Aberdeen days. He must've played against us countless times and neither me, my Dad, Uncle or my pals can ever remember him standing out. Plus he's after similar to what he'll be on at Preston, and that'll be a fair bit at a club like ours.

On the other hand you have Gray, a young lad who has massive potential and supposedly a big future ahead of him. I've mates who have played against him and they say he was something else even at a younger age.

I know who i'd rather have.

Sorry for being a "thicko", but who is FJ?

I might presume....."Fat Jim" Knew.....but not sure??

Cheeky boy, if it is !!

**Andy74** · 06-07-2010 08:10 PM

Sean I'd still take, at this stage, the guy who is ready to come in and be a steady player for us now.

If we are midweek at mcdiarmid or up at Inverness then it's time we had a few men who can stand up and handle it.

He was a good player at Livingston and Aberdeen.

Fat Jim it is! Just thinking that, now they know we want him...they will put in a better wages offer!

They would offer better wages. Doesn't matter that they can't afford to pay them though!

Interesting to read a potted history of his time at PNE. Hope Hibs do a thorough medical on him.

Could be the fresh start he needs and the experience we need.

Have you seen him play at professional level?

Seems to be a lot of people want him here without ever seeing him play, knowing what his demands are or even if he wants to come.

Whether your mates have played against him at a younger level or not is neither here nor there, there's millions of players that have been fantastic youngsters that haven't adapted to full time football.

You may be right about him having potential but for what has been a problem position for us i'd rather we sign someone that has experience at this level rather than taking a risk on a youngster that may or may not cut it.

Hart was class for Aberdeen, i definately remember him playing well against us, if he's still got the pace he had then he'd definately be a good signing IMO.

"Hibs are the only team interested in him."

"His fitness is always in doubt."

" As one of our highest paid players.........."

The player himself said he wan't interested in coming to Hibs for less money than he is already guaranteed at PNE.......................... surely he is not a good prospect for us.

Maybe we should all just let Yogi and RP have their time to sort out the squad? The truth is none of us know in any real depth his fitness, wages etc. But lets be honest, has yogi signed a duffer yet? (possibly cregg aside) And has Rod done anything to make us believe he would do anything of detrement to the club?

If in 6 months time Hart is playing for us and taking a big wage and spending time on a physio bench then maybe ppl can say they have a point. Personally, i cant wait to see the new team thats going to be put out in front of us on a beautiful pitch in front of a gleaming new stadium safe in the knowledge we are financially sound and not only that but still producing youngsters and generally moving in the right direction !!?

I always just took that as him posturing for a decent pay off before moving?

Sorry, LTG!

Who do you mean?

, sorry!

***Hiber-nation*** · 06-07-2010 09:08 PM

Its obvious his display against us at the beginning of last season wasn't his true form otherwise Yogi wouldn't be touching him with a bargepole - he was awful.

But the Michael Hart that played for Aberdeen? I'll take him.

Exactly. Hart was quality for Aberdeen, and they've been a lot worse off without him. I've said this before, but the prospect of him and de Graaf on our right hand side is hugely exciting, or indeed Hart RB, Wotherspoon RM and de Graaf RCM would give us great options when attacking.

I think you have already highlighted the fact that what the player wants and what the player gets are not necessarily the same thing.
