Shefki Kuqi (1 Year Deal Confirmed)

**ivan03** · 12-08-2012 02:12 AM

Finally some news about a striker, should be announced on Monday if all goes to plan. Staying in Edinburgh tonight and will be watching the game tomorrow, hasn't played in Scotland, isn't British but has been playing in England.

Also Goodwillie and Craig Gordon to hearts is on the cards. Gordon on a 6 month pay as you play deal.

I know who it is ;)

***R'Albin*** · 12-08-2012 02:20 AM

I'm trying to decide whether it's just a coincidence, or whether you just copied someone else's info about Kuqi.

I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

**DAVE1875** · 12-08-2012 02:44 AM

Is the reason it's being announced on Monday an attempt to raise spirits which will probably be falling like burning spitfires after defeat in the derby? (I'm optimistic but also realistic, best we can hope for is a draw.)

Neither of these are happening seemingly. Hearts would need to pay at least 50% of Goodwillies wages which they simply can't afford and Gordon isn't cheap either. They've tried but it's not happening seemingly. The Skacel deal has seemingly broke down too after he's changed his demands when rangers started sniffing about.

He must be good then or he will be when he gets a few games under his belt. Sounds very familiar to me.

Interesting, will we be pleased?

Or as happy as us Hibs fans can be

**Onceinawhile** · 12-08-2012 06:40 AM

So he is Irish then? For goodness sake, does fenlon not have any contacts other than Irish players? I presume this player has already played for him as well? Disgusting. Petrie, farmer, fenlon and everyone else out.

**eastmainsmsh** · 12-08-2012 06:43 AM

Kuqi is doing the rounds but would take this striker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mikael_Forssell

**HIBERNIAN-0762** · 12-08-2012 06:43 AM

We need who ever it is today!!

Typical Hibs!

I agree with this completly

I knoe some other clubs havent signed players but when there is such a need for one in your team and this first 2 games are agins united and hearts why bloody wait. if we loose today (and i am sure we will) be will be nil for 2 and an uphill battle already

Not sure if your intending to be sarcastic.

If so then

If not, there are other countries in the world besides Ireland.

And yet if we win we can go 2nd. Go figure. The only way then is realistically downwards.

**ALF TUPPER** · 12-08-2012 07:09 AM

Who is it then?

I think that's the point he's trying to make.

**chrisski33** · 12-08-2012 07:16 AM

Forssell would suit me. I bought him from Birmingham in FIFA 05 and he did a brilliant job. He scored a terrific hat-trick against Rangers in the league decider.

The player is Shefki Kuqi.

Ex Crystal Palace and Newcastle and most recently Oldham.

Big barsteward, decent goalscoring record, experienced.

I was being sarcastic. I tried to go really over the top, but itust be a mark of how drama queen this place has become that it want obvious.

Is kuqi not quite old these days?

35 I think.

Still managed 40 games last season though and It's not like he ever had pace to lose!

I got the satire.

He is 35 I think.

Hopefully he'll still do a job up front a la Brewster who marched on to a fair old age.

Would be welcomed

Amadou to make a triumphant return from Italy. Time for Mr Lindsay to put his money where his mouth is.

If this is the guy then we're Donald Ducked this season.

Yet another journey man wasting a wage and we slip further behind the rest of the SPL

Id take a draw now that gets us up and running and a point on the board.

About 1 in 5 ratio...so not particularly exciting goal scoring record. That said, he is big, powerful and technically good - so as long as he still has the hunger could be a decent addition..
