If we got a deal in place for KT I'd be delighted we do have a lot of CM's that I agree with but KT had the ability to play a killer pass not a lot of the current midfield have shown that and it's something LG,cairney,done will love to have in the team instead of a ball near enough behind them constantly they might be able to run on to a pass for a change.

But if it where a deal to the end of the season Id knock it on the head straight away no good for us that scenario and there's every possibility he's off along to greyskull for 8k a week next year and we get egg on our face again

Thats exactly the type of deal we should be looking at.

We cant commit to a long term contract for a guy who has pretty much been injured for the past 3 seasons. A few games until the end of the season , see how he looks and if its works out offer a 2 year deal at the end of the season.

Great news. He wants to be home. Sign him up hibs.

I hear what you are saying Matty, but in your first paragraph if he still has that ability to play the killer pass and it is the difference of us scoring chances to nick second and £2m, then lets get ourselves to that platform and possibly grow with a fitter younger player with similar ability.

If he went back along the M8 he would be finished by the time he faced us again.

Pay as you play deal until end of season for me.

**Russell The Dug** · 21-02-2013 01:38 PM

Has anyone ever had a pay as you play deal?

Give Kevin a deal until the summer with an option of us extending the deal if so wish. If we don't arse this up then we could have the best midfielder in Scotland playing for us next season.

we will already have the TWO best midfielders in Robertson & Craig

He's training with the huns and "apparantley" has offers from celtic and 3 other teams in england.

I was told this by his dads best mate.

Kenny Millar‏@Kenny_MillarGreat catch by @McGregorDerek in today's @scotsunsport about Kevin Thomson training back at Hibs. That one's sure to divide opinion

Bit surprised it was in The Sun wasn't aware Katie and Keith Jackson had split up. That can happen in long distance relationships, who got custody of the kids?

Really cant believe this. Why would Celtic be looking at him? They already have a squad of about 30 first team players.

That's your opinion obviously, I rate Liam Craig higher than the glass walker (even if the cuts have healed and he is fit, which is unlikely).

So far, this just appears to be a rumour somebody found through the 'sun' so I wouldn't be getting too excited him possibly training with us.

**coco22** · 21-02-2013 02:39 PM

I was in the 'very anti Thomson' camp when he left us, but I think I've mellowed since then. I now have no issues with his returning to ER if Fenlon thinks he is suitable. I would compare such a move with McFadden to Motherwell, although Thomson could be more of a risk in terms of injury damage.

Neither can Thomson.

Is he even that big a Hibby? If he's training with us I'm fairly sure his intention will be to sign.

He was an ******** when he signed for Rangers. Then again who's no an ******** at that age.

He's a quality player and if he's fit and wants to return are we in a position to turn him down?

This

Folk saying we "have 2 or 3 similar players" to him make me smile. Yes, as in they have 2 legs, 2 arms and a heid and play in central midfield, but do they have the footballing intelligence and range of passing that Thomson has (or at least had)?? Never.

If he turns out to be a perma-injury prone crock who cant offer anything then get him out of EM, but, as mentioned above, Fenlon has no reason to get misty eyed over his first spell with us and offer facilities out of the goodness of his heart.

**leggeto** · 21-02-2013 02:47 PM

Sat next to him on the plane to Ireland when he first signed for biro and said he is still good friends with rod,so he is prob helping him out a bit while he is back home,would welcome him back but good player better than we have in midfield the now

**~~Ryan69~~** · 21-02-2013 02:57 PM

George Best..

Craig Robertson Thommo (an other) would be a quality midfield.

Amazing. Liam Craig better than a fit Kevin Thomson. Ladies and gents I've heard it all now.

Complete rubbish mate.

***Stevie Reid*** · 21-02-2013 03:08 PM

Would be delighted to have him back if the deals suits us.

I'm disappointed we've even offered him facilities

If true, that's how I feel too......Why can he not just go to the gym like everyone else? Don't want him anywhere near EM or indeed ER.....

***J-C*** · 21-02-2013 03:17 PM

Decent ball playing midfielder, let me think..............................if he's reasonably fit, then play as you play sounds good to me, sign him.

**MrRobot** · 21-02-2013 03:18 PM

Need to get over it. If we got him signed up and he stayed injury free, he'd be starting every week. Cracking player, ruined through injury problems.

***Stevie Reid*** · 21-02-2013 03:22 PM

Kevin Thomson has made 55 appearances in the last 3 years.

James McFadden has made 11 in the last two.

I can only agree. Some folk eh?. A fit and motivated Kevin Thomson would be the best central midfielder in the SPL.

Wouldnt be a patch on Victor Wagamama
