Would be a good signing. Big, strong and above all, goals....

[McSwanky]

I might as well say it before someone else does...

We'd be better off with Honor Blackman.

[Ritchie]

he'll go to the sheep

[CMac1988]

Doubt he'd choose Hibs over Aberdeen.

[blackpoolhibs]

We have lost out on Billy Mehmet, he's just signed for another Turkish side.

[Hibee Daz]

Unfortunately, I think he'll hook up with pa Broon again at sheepsville.

[cabbageandribs1875]

i imagine hertz will show an interest in blackman now

[M11BMO]

Would be an excellent signing IMO. As said before, he will choose The Sheep over us.

[Hibeesb0unc3]

would be a great signing as it would bring us some much needed goals and maybe even someone to win the ball from our route 1 football but as already said he will join his old manager up at aberdeen

[aberhibsfc]

Emotionally he will be tempted to Aberdeen and link up with Pa Broon. Financially Hibs are in a better position to afford a decent wage, again though it's down to how much either club want him. I don't think Aberdeen could afford to outpay us.

It beggers the questions, market demand will push up his wages but are we willing to pay it? If we did is he worth having him on a wage similar to our higher paid players?

[Cropley10]

Can't see him wanting to come here, not with Broon up the road.

Thing is we do have the Bamba money burning a hole, and Aberdeen are skinto (aren't they?)

[HibbyAndy]

May not be a case of him heading up the road to join Broon, If Hibs offer more than Aberdeen he will come here id guess.Loyalty in football has all but evaporated.

[Toaods]

Pa Broon won't be the link, it will be Archie Knox who was youth coach at Blackburn.

[libernian]

thot he was superb for well at easter road.

[Littlest Hobo]

Reading between the lines I'd say we are very unlikely to be the ones to win his signature

Push the ****in boat out Rod, we are in dire straights here ffs

Could be the difference between first division football or SPL it's that serious.

That's probably gone on Petrie's Christmas bonus.

is he available on a free?

surely Edinburgh has to be more attractive to Aberdeen, unless of course he prefers his females to be wooly

the reported fee of 500k for Goodwillie would not be the worst money we ever spent. we can dream I suppose

Nothing clever about it. Just some sarcasm.

I'm with you on the joke front, practically though being in the central belt is always a massive advantage over Aberdeen. There's all the commuting involved for footballing duties. Obviously there's the Airport but he's not going to be using that everyday. It's why Aberdeen have traditionally had to pay that bit extra to get their players it's not that they are that financially better off and certainly less so these days. Aberdeen is a city, not a backwater but it is a fair distance from any other populace.

If he likes his toast he should come to ER. If he prefers being secluded in Aberdeen, commuting for hours and his sheep to be near PA Broon then good luck to him.

Yes he is, he can sign for anyone if Blackburn haven't gave him a contract, he'd be returning to train with Beckham and Ronaldinho.

I thought it was just a loan and Blackburn have left it to him to decide where he wants to go.

I doubt he'll go to Aberdeen just for the manager or coaches he knows, football players largely couldn't care less about that.

Agreed . It's a case of whoever offers him the most money and if im honest I can't see Petrie doing that. I know it can be good having a tight arse for a chairman but come on we are in a bad way here it's time to make some sacrifices? Or am I being too dramatic?

[just_joe]

P.S I hope Calderwood doesn't give petrie an ultimatum - he sacked me for that on FM

If its a loan deal he will be on the same dosh irrespective because he will still be under the same contract with Blackburn. If Blackburn accept the various loan offers then its up to the player to choose which (if any) of the clubs he wants to go to.

Remember reading an article earlier in the season where Blackman bigged Knox up from his time at Blackburn.

This is exactly the type of player we should be looking at, its just unfortunate that there seems to be a trust relationship with Blackman and the new Sheep management.

I wonder what McGhee thinks when he see's this money Aberdeen are spending and he was assured the pot was empty.

[Dr Jimmy]

Would have to sign someone who could deliver crosses for him as well.
