Clayton Donaldson

[AlbertK86]

Just read thread on mad that rumours are we are going to pay £150k to bring him back.
Didn't get a fair crack last time and still think he could score plenty with the right guys around him. Don't know about the fee however.

Thoughts ?

[easty]

Not even as good a player as Daryl Duffy or Alan Gow. No thank you.

[Greentinted]

My tuppenceworth - it's £150k that would be better utilised elsewhere.

Never say never but not for me thanks.

Mad's about as dependable as Football Rumours, IMO.

If we have £150k to spare, I think there are a good few players I'd be spending it on than CD. Offer it to Rooney as a signing-on fee.

Completely agree a much better option IMO. Would be surprised if Donaldson would go for so little given the number of goals he scored last season and amount of money washing about in England.

[Beefster]

While I wouldn't necessarily spend £150k on him, he didn't get a fair crack of the whip when he was here. Better player than he gets credit for.

[mentalhibee]

I'd be happy if we signed Donaldson again, he found it hard to break into the team but looked pretty decent when at Hibs and has done well since. He's the kind of striker that would work well along side Sodje or big Gaz! We could do with some pace upfront.

[Niffy]

Chr1st, what other ex-players are missing Edinburgh ????

[PeterboroHibee]

I always thought he was alright and has done very well for himself at Crewe. Dont think we should keep looking at guys who have previously been at the club though, and £150k is a fair bit of money.

[pentlando]

Sure i seen on SSN earlier that he's in talks with Oldham about a move, no mention of us. FWIW i think he's a good player, but it didn't work out for whatever reason and should be left in the past.

[HibeePaj]

Have UEFA put a ban on us signing any NON EX-HIBS players this season??

[Mikey]

Are we sure he didn't get a good crack at the whip while he was here?

My memory of him is that he got a decent number of games and was rubbish.

That makes two of us, at least, then.

[archiebald]

Saw him play for reserves at Livvi V Rangers and he was brilliant,think we won 5-0

Just had a wee squatch on iHibs and he scored 6 (4 pens) in 21 (8 as sub) appearances which, in fairness, isn't too shabby. My recollection of him though, is largely, his anonymity during games.
Maybe he didn't have ample opportunity to flourish after all...

18 appearances, 5 goals. Is that a fair crack of the whip? Not even half a season.

He is 27, has pace and last season proved he was scoring goals and would be a natural foil to a O'conner/Sodje type of player. Don't think it will happen but could do a lot worse.

[Hibercelona]

MAC is currently a free agent. I wouldn't mind giving him another go. Good age at 28 and he certainly knows where the back of the net is.

[Hibs On Tour]

WTF???

Are we throwing some mad reunion party at ER and the only way we can get people to turn up is to resign them?

Ivan I thought was perhaps strange but that he could still do a turn for a year or two. Gary O I think is daft unless [and its a big unless] he can get fit, stay fit and keep his snout out of whence it shouldn't be. But Embra's becks to his posh? Na - gies peace man...

WTF next, Alan O'Brien back for half a million? FFS...

I heard Shomumni is coming back, he didn't have the same passion for Falkirk as he did for us

saw that too

We probably were a bit hasty in getting rid of him but the only reason I would have him back is if we've no-one else (which hopefully wont be the case come end of July)

Enoch or Tam? I always get mixed up between them ....

.... and maybe we should sign a Hurtado or two as well?

I seen that picture too, posted on a forum somewhere which apparently got taken down.

Apparently Brown was the one taking the photo.

Oh really? How many goals did Duffy and Gow score last season? Donaldson was the top league goal scorer in England last season (more than the much heralded Adam Le Fondre) and deserved better treatment from Hibs than they gave him.

£150k for a proven goalscorer who knows the Scottish game ......

This place is cracking me up, MAC!!

In saying that Woodieson and Lindsay might fancy that so don't hold your breath

[Judas Iscariot]

£150,000 over a year is almost £2.9k a week..

Offer Riordan a semi decent contract rather than ***** it on that numpty

Nah mate, you have been duped.

Yam spamming the Hibs-Mad board.

He's also posted that we are after Tam McManus, Brian Kerr and a conference striker from Blyth Spartans called Robbie Dale.
