The Pope to sign for Hibs?

**big-mo** · 06-06-2013 04:58 PM

I am hearing that 27 year old Tom Pope may be signing for Hibs. Those who watch the English leagues will be familiar with Tom's scoring, currently with Port Vale, 36 goals in 87 games, not a bad return.

***Baader*** · 06-06-2013 05:01 PM

Always thought it'd be funny if The Rangers signed him - purely for the fans reaction...

As you say, good return for a player who is a target man... Would be the perfect foil for Super Leigh (please!!)

***Billy Whizz*** · 06-06-2013 05:03 PM

Haven't seen much of him, bit of a journey man, but at 6ft 3in, could be an asset in the air.
Noticed he got League 2 player of the year, season just ended

**Haymaker** · 06-06-2013 05:06 PM

Sound good, seems to score, big fella and in his own words does "the nitty gritty and dirty stuff". Could be a very good signing.

33 goals in 51 games last season including 3 hat-tricks and voted league two player of the season. sounds like he is coming into form as a bit of a late developer.

***Vault Boy*** · 06-06-2013 05:08 PM

33 goals last season!

Too slow.

**pontius pilate** · 06-06-2013 05:09 PM

Sounds a cracking signing if this comes off. I honestly thought he had not long signed a new contract with port vale.

**adhibs** · 06-06-2013 05:13 PM

seen this mentiond on a facebook page a few days ago, any real truth in this? dismissed it as he only signed a new contract in feb, untill 2015

**pontius pilate** · 06-06-2013 05:15 PM

I remember that conversation mate an you did call it as a non-starter then.

There are some posters who are really worth paying attention to, and big-mo is one of them

***bingo70*** · 06-06-2013 05:18 PM

This was a rumour that popped up on the football rumours website before it was mentioned on here a couple of days ago and they've got a 100% talking pish record so I'm struggling to believe this rumour.

That said though, the op has got a good record of knowing what's going on so somethings got to give.

heres hoping then, sounds like he'd be a cracking signing. maybe we could offer to go to port vale for a glamour freindly in exchange

**TomoHFC** · 06-06-2013 05:24 PM

Would like to see him at hibs. I think he scored 4 goals in 1 game

**scuttle** · 06-06-2013 05:28 PM

Should be good at CROSSES

And so... It starts!

**Waxy** · 06-06-2013 05:38 PM

Holy ****.What a good signing if true.

**Broken Gnome** · 06-06-2013 05:43 PM

Would be amazed if an SPL side had the money or the temptation for any top scorer of an English league side.

**Hamish** · 06-06-2013 05:44 PM

Perhaps he could make his debut V Raith Rovers on the 12th July.........

***Heisenberg*** · 06-06-2013 05:47 PM

He just signed a new deal in February to keep him there till 2015. Would be amazed if we were able to pay enough for him.

Anyone who has visited the Stuart's Gate within St Peters in the Vatican will have been impressed with the inscription above. It reads:

Porta Stuarti
Hibernia e Caledonia

All that needs added is a sly GGTTH :)

Heard he already gets on well with potential strike partner Leigh Griffiths. They share many common views. For instance neither believe in artificial contraception.

I'll get my coat...

**hibsbollah** · 06-06-2013 05:58 PM

Stupid post

Fenlon would never sign the pope, hes not even Oirish!

Does he s### in the woods?

**patch1875** · 06-06-2013 06:16 PM

Wish papal would stop all these puns

Surely Football Rumours must get the odd one right just by blind, ignorant luck?

Youd think so but the fact this guy recently signed a contract until 2015 its not looking like it'll be on this occassion.

**iwasthere1972** · 06-06-2013 06:22 PM

Could be good but on the other hand he may well just blow white smoke out his erse.

Bingo you are indeed correct about it appearing in that quality rumours website. However Big Mo has a very good track record and if true for me would be a very very good addition.

I watch a lot if the Football League and he looks a handful.
