Huge Signing News For the Famous Edinburgh Hibees!
Sol Compbell has signed a Pre-Contract agreement with his old buddy Colin Calderwood at Easter Road.
The pair have an on - off friendship from way back in their days of London derbies right through until their Coach - Player relationship at Newcastle.
Great signing to help some of the younger players improve even further.
Ooh to Ooh to be, Ooh to be a HIBEE!

Off the back of the last report I have heard from a former hibs player and current BBC comentator / Match summariser that there will be an ongoing link up with Newcastle for the next 2 years which will see Hibs pick up several of the newcastle youngsters allowing them to gain vital first team experience. There is also an offer made to Alan Smith for a season long loan deal with the offer of a permenant contract on the table.
Good season coming up with the influx of premiership quality players at Easter Road

Wouldn't get too excited until it's confirmed on Football Rumours or they're seen on the number 26 with a greggs sausage roll or other savoury snack

I hope the Sol Campbell rumour is utter pish, which it most likely is. Originally Posted by sunshine1875

It would be nice, but players like Smith and Campbell will be earning 25x what we pay.

I could believe us having a link up with Newcastle in some fashion, and I could see Smith coming to the club to do Coaching badges or something, but that's about it...

Think that's likely though us getting him is sadly much more unlikely
Potentially true. Originally Posted by MrSmith

But on the plus side, when I reminisce about Hibs the memories aren't tarnished by the recollection of a complete and utter bottle job when faced with the opportunity of wrapping up a League and Cup double.
My rather frail memory struggles to extend twenty-five years and sadly my recollection doesn't seem to be supported by photographic or video evidence.
What I would give for positive confirmation of my ramshackle and haphazard memories
There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Would love this to be true but will only believe it when I see big Sol strolling down Albion Frog and Toad on the Dog and Bone to his agent having just jumped off the 26 bus, celebrating his new Hibs deal with a Greggs sausage roll. Originally Posted by sunshine1875

Alan Smith was pretty decent for Arsenal in the 80s and 90s but he's probably a wee bit too old nowadays, best leave him to stick to the punditry.
As for the guy Campbell, well theres no doubt he done a job in his role for Tony Blair in the lates 90s/early 00s. Unfortunately his integrity was called into question though. When Pa Broon brought him back into the fold a couple of years ago it didn't really work out and his team were inevitably relegated. I'd steer clear personally.

I heard we're signing Michael Owen, he wants to 'do' his coaching badges and is pally with CC after his time at Newcastle..
So he is getting to work with the Hibs staff as well as scoring 100 goals for Hibs next season....

Done none too shabby a job as Crystal Palace boss though. Seems to have dropped of the radar since Mowbray took over at Middlesboro so he may be looking at pastures new. Originally Posted by Pretty Boy

Can we just ban people who post ***** from football rumours. I'm sure this poster has been at it with this crap before.

as if Hibs.net is full of 100% rumours. How many times has someone on Hibs.net said Miller is away to Hertz and Deeks has played his last game?
So! It is a football forum. If you don't like it, don't read it! Originally Posted by Woody1985

The purpose of my post was to ask whether there was any truth in it! I am not saying it is true or not! I am not in the know, I don't know whether it is likely or not. All I am asking is whether there is any truth in it. Your opinion that it is p!sh is likely to be true, but why ban something just because you don't agree with it.

I don't want Sol Campbell. He's a lazy old sod and not worth his money.

I'm sure I saw Sol Campbell at a bus stop that the no. 26 goes from, with a packet of crisps that COULD have been bought at Greggs. Does that count? Originally Posted by Houchy

About as much chance of us signing Lionel Messi. Never been forgiven for joining '****'... his old boy had to give up drinking in the local he'd been in all his life FFS. Not gonna happen. Originally Posted by Houchy

Sol Campbell and Alan Smith taking a wage drop of about £30,000 each a week so that they can have the joy of playing at New St Mirren Park, New Douglas Park, McDiarmid Park and save the best for last...... Tynecastle. Somehow I very much doubt it.
