Steven Thompson (Merged)

[HH81]

Just spoke to my Burnley mate in the office and there is rumours floating around that Thompson could be signing for Hibs.

He said he expects Thompson to leave this window, anyone else heard this?

That would make sense because he is injured

If it's not serious then I reckon he'd be a decent addition. Most of these rumours are nonsense though so I wont be expecting anything to happen on this one.

[LancsHibs]

Hope there is some truth in this, would be a good addition

[Coco Bryce]

Deek going the other way

[Spike Mandela]

His goal ratio in the SPL is worse than Nish even though he played for Rangers. Just a thought

[Steve20]

Hope not.

[Judas Iscariot]

If he's injured he'd fit in with CC's signing policy

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

My Dundee united chums used to tell me that he was almost the complete striker, and only had one thing missing from his game. Unfortunately, that was goals.
Seemed to follow the same path as a lot of players, Webster, McLaren, David Robertson etc, in that he seemed a decent sort that turned into a bampot as soon as the royal blue went over his head.

Deek going the other way

This would be a good bit of business, Deek doesn't look interested and has yet to put pen to paper on a new contract, lets be honest here, Deek doesn't deserve to get a starting place right now.

I'd take anyone who could set up goals for us just now, Duffy was a proven scorer, needs support though.

Well not many but he's one of our senior players, I think he should be giving more than just waving his arms in the air moaning all the time, he should take a look at Murray, not the most gifted player but gives 100% all the time.

I think he'd be a good signing, i'm not actually bothered about his scoring record, what he would give us is the ability to hald the ball up and bring other forwards and midfielders into play so we could start to see the goals spread throughout the team, we'd start to see the best of deeks again if he had someone like thomson up top with him so i'd be pretty disappointed if deeks was to go the other way.

IMO the lack of a striker like this has been the reason for our midfield looking so poor for so long, they do there best to get up to support the strikers but when the ball doesn't stick they're never going to be able to provide effective support to the forwards/

[Hibernia Na Eir]

BBC reported last week that he was on CC's radar.

[Beefster]

A battering ram of a striker so may be worthwhile.

I do hope at least one of the players signed has a wee bit of pace though.

Totally agree - Killen did this for us, and Fletcher was beginning to, I think someone (MP or Petrie?) signed Nish expecting him to be able to. I hoped Trackys would be the guy for this job, but it would appear not.

Trakys seems to injure himself whenever he gets out of bed in the morning.

[Dashing Bob S]

Garbage striker who couldn't finish a milkshake and was capped purely on the basis of playing for the Huns.

That said he'll probably score a barrel-load is this pathetic league.

I know, its frustrating. Because he looks like he might be useful. But if he can't go more than 2 weeks without getting injured for the next 10, he's no use at all.

We need quality, but we also need availability - he may the offer the first, but plainly not the 2nd!

He's obviously more like Killen than we thought!

But you'd swap DR for Thompson?...

DR is far more of a proven scorer than Duffy is/was and again tops our assist charts. As for Thompson...

Didn't say that..........the way things look at the moment, I would bet on Riordan leaving, maybe sooner rather than later, wouldn't surprise me if Deek going to Burnley may be part of any deal. What we need is a big decent striker who can hold the ball up and if Thompson becomes available then I'd take him.

"This would be a good bit of business"

Certainly sounds like it from where I'm sitting...

No point holding the ball up if we don't have someone who can stick the bloody thing away is it?

Yeah a fantastic piece of business....

Out a living legend who with half decent supply scores goals for fun...

In a player with a poorer SPL goalscoring record than Colin Nish.

Who knows, we may even have Leigh Griffiths on loan to do that if the rumblings are true.

If deek is going and it looks even more likely now that he is, surely it's time to take of the green specs and realise that we have to start building a team without him.

Thompson isn't a prlific scorer but he's just the type of CF we need right now, big, strong and can hold the ball up. Whether deek stays or goes, Hibs will always be there, so we have to get on with things, yes Riordan's goals have dried up nd that's due to the fact we haven't got a Thompson style player in the team.

Duffy is too similar again to Riordan and can only benefit with a player like Thompson coming in, also I was replying to a post which suggested Riordan was going in the other direction. Don't think anyone stated he was infact part of any deal, remember this is all speculation and we as fans are guessing as to what may happen in the forseeable future, the fun of the january transfer window.

[Hibee Daz]

Thomson is not the answer especially since he's injured, we should be looking at improving on what we have and not signing some **** who couldn't set the heather on fire even if he had a bloody blow torch!

No no and thrice no.
