***MrSmith*** · 13-07-2010 10:29 AM

Forget getting the car started...let the little ****er crawl down the A1 on his hands and knees to get there...after all he's always wanted to play for Boro!

****in little tosser that he is!!!

**Bob Box Fish** · 13-07-2010 10:31 AM

Little rat but IMO the best player that came out of the golden generation.

***Golden Bear*** · 13-07-2010 10:32 AM

Best of luck Kev.

At the time of his transfer to the Huns he annoyed me as much as anybody else but there's no doubt in my mind that he was extremely naive and badly influenced by the dual evil forces of his agent and I suspect a corrupt journalist.

Anyway, once a Hibby always a Hibby and Kevin is just that.

To be honest I've never seen it. Poor man's Barry Ferguson if you ask me.

Even with Rangers' financial situation, the fact they aren't making a profit on him suggests not. As does the fact it's Middlesbrough. Whittaker and Brown would both get better moves for more money, and Fletcher already has done.

He'll get found out in the championship

I don't think so. Thomson, whatever he may have ended up like as a person was and still is a very talented footballer who always makes himself available for the ball and has a very good passing range. If he can keep himself fit for a couple of seasons he will walk the championship and be the first name on the Scotland team sheet.

Aye, right enough

He caused more grief in the dressing room at that time than anyone

Perhaps you meant to say "once a to££pot, always a to££pot

When Thomson first broke through under Blobby I thought he was going to be a superb player, he was energetic, created attacks, wasn't afraid to get stuck in and looked like a generally all rounded player at the ago of 18/19. I know he spent the best part of a year out of the team injured with that bad injury and imo he's never really recovered from that. He is a good passer of the ball and can retain possession extremely well, however his defensive side of the game is not impressive for a defensive midfielder and when it comes to going forward he no longer seems to have the flair in his play that he did when he was at Hibs but maybe its the role he is being asked to play at Rangers. I think when he left Hibs, in that oh so gracious manner, he should have went down south as he could have been a fair better player, I think he's stagnated at Rangers.

Plus, he's a judas.

I don't think he will.

Look at Gavin Rae, Chris Burke, Charlie Adam, Barry Robson. All Scottish Midfielders who are playing or have played their best football in that League.

Don't think so. The real question is whether he stays fit.

This is a big loss to Rangers, especially at a time when Lennon's bringing decent players to Parkhead. And especially when it appears that there are a fair number of other players set to follow him.

Certainly a big loss to Ibrox treatment table. If they have a sugar daddy to lend them 5 mill there's a ready-made replacement at Hearts in Driver. And he's English!

What WILL those poor physios find to do with their time?

Do you think it would be a good thing for a club already so deep in debt to borrow another 5 mill to buy Driver?

Why don't they sign Bob Malcolm? I think he's available for nothing....

I don't know what Rangers are playing at. Thet were only meant to be £30M in debt a year ago and they have sold a few players since then. Also, their wage bill is tiny compared to a few years ago and they are in the Champions League again. Why are they still selling players when every point they earn in the Champions League nets them a few hundred thousand? Seems to me like they must have a few other worries they aren't letting on about.

**hibbiedon** · 13-07-2010 03:48 PM

RATS, SINKING SHIP. why does this spring to mind

**CRAZYHIBBY** · 13-07-2010 04:09 PM

Do you really think so?

I'd be AWFULLY UPSET if that were true.
