Good news for all parties concerned! If that was Hughes prestige signing last Summer then I think it fair to say he did not have an eye for a player!

**~~Speedway~~** · 31-01-2011 02:45 PM

Excelsior I believe.

**~~The_Horde~~** · 31-01-2011 02:47 PM

Gutted. Hoped to see more of Eddie.

**~~Phil D. Rolls~~** · 31-01-2011 02:49 PM

Hope it all works out for Eddie, unrealistic expectations were attached to him. I could see him doing a job in a harder working midfield than ours.

box to box player my arse.

And apparently Yogi told him, after he was sacked by Hibs, that he would happily take De Graff anywhere he was manager.
Maybe that's one of the reasons Yogi is no longer the Hibs manager.

Thank god, lets hope thats a wage freed up for a centre back or forward.

***flash*** · 31-01-2011 02:50 PM

Yet another big wage off the bill yet nobody of any note in.

We are getting shafted yet again.

Well I can't argue with that one - De Graff has been a major disappointment and no doubt about it - just doesn't seem to be up to the pace of the Scottish game.

Dunno about that, under Hughes he scored a couple in his first game at home and then had several chances, albeit he missesd them!

Now we don't create chances and he certainly hasn't been used the same way as he has been hanging back.

I think if Hughes had still been his manager he'd have been used the way he was intended to be and had a chance gone in sometime he would have gone on to do well.

As it is it's best all round that he gets away.

Like a lot of things it seems accepted fact here that he's mince but I don't believe that to be true at all.

I thought the transfer window closed at midnight, not at 3:50pm!

**mr mojo risin** · 31-01-2011 02:53 PM

Good, he is garbage

No real loss. We either get him back next year a fit and better player, or he gets going in his own country and doesn't want to come back. Either way it is win/win for us. What a huge let down he has been though. No use dwelling on ifs and ands, but I do wonder where he would be if he had stuck that one away against Rangers.

**Hibees07** · 31-01-2011 02:57 PM

Its ironic that we are up s@@t creak without a paddle yet the board still make a mint during the transfer window. Amazing!

We won't know until a) the window closes, b) the accounts for this year come out.

He was never up to the pace of the Scottish game sadly imho and never would be! What I will concede is that he had the odd spell in a match here and there where you could tell he could be a decent player in a proper enviroment for his style of play but over the piece he never showed it often enough for Hibs.

Aye whatever. We also have no forward line and the worst defence in the SPL but whats that between friends.

***whereswallace?*** · 31-01-2011 03:02 PM

There are others i would like to have seen moved on ahead of Degraf but i cant say im overly concerned to see him go. Im sure CC isnt daft and will be working hard to get in a striker at the very least and hopefully a centre half aswell. IMO we could probably just about cope for the rest of the season without the CH if we get a decent striker in.

Yes, a bit like the guy who was getting into the box often enough early season to have scored two and then missed about four sitters.

He was getting into those positions and his luck would have turned.

Still, he seems to be away so move on for the moment and good luck to him!
