So underwhelming.

***Diclonius*** · 13-07-2013 09:11 AM

Good news. Now for another striker.

This is great news. I'm sure Vine won't be the only forward signed, especially if you believe all the reports about Hibs looking to spend some cash on a forward!

A lot of the St Johnstone players and fans seemed to feel that way when they heard the news of him signing for us anyway.

**Tom Hart RIP** · 13-07-2013 09:14 AM

Great news. Vine was outstanding in his last game at ER. Scored twice I think.
I would have chosen him over Lyle Taylor.
Pleased about KT as well.
Good season ahead

**Tollhouse Hibee** · 13-07-2013 09:15 AM

Vine always looked dangerous for StJ when he played against us and thommo wil be a sure starter in midweek based on last night.

Positive signs and a bit of experience to help out the young boys up front! Vine only scored 7 goals last season

You've caught a few already. Gone fishing.

***Billy Whizz*** · 13-07-2013 09:16 AM

Why weren't they involved last night?????

Yes. Vine is very average at best.

Pleased about KT.

Kinda see BR's point it's another midfielder not massively different to the ones have plenty of, I like KT but is he needed ? Can we get some others out the door ? As for Vine I can't really say he ever stood out but that maybe says more about my memory

I have only see him against us, where he played well. I take it you have seen him play, apart from against hibs? He seems to have a good 'assist' record which we have been crying out for!??

**JDHibs** · 13-07-2013 09:20 AM

Brlliant

***Chuck Rhoades*** · 13-07-2013 09:21 AM

I'll support and back him all the way and hope he can bang in double figures. However, 18 goals in 152 apps doesn't fill me with confidence.

**hibs4thecup1988** · 13-07-2013 09:25 AM

Unreal, cannot please everyone.

Thomson CLEARLY has feelings for the club that he would play for nothing to try and earn a contract, Pat obviously feels he has done this! And in regards to "another" midfielder...I think this says that Claros will not be coming back.

As for Vine...people screaming out for a striker. How about we try and back Pat? He maybe thinks the experience of Vine and the youthfulness of Caldwell could be enough for the European ties? I have not heard that we are looking to spend cash on a striker, but if we are then fantastic.

Written off before they have even been paraded in a Hibs shirt...now where have I saw that before...

**GlenrothesHibee** · 13-07-2013 09:26 AM

Happy with Vine. And KT signing is a relief! We had no quality in the middle of the park last night

**Pretty Boy** · 13-07-2013 09:27 AM

Happy enough with this.

If KT can get a good pre season behind him then he's still a good player.

Vine will bring far more to the team than goalscoring, he's quite a creative type and that's something we are desperate for almost as much as goals.

**gegs70** · 13-07-2013 09:28 AM

Is vine better than Doyle and more mobile than Kuqi..?

I though st johnstone played vine as a winger?

100%, we need some creativity just behind the strikers, cairney did it to begin with then kinda fell away, and i think harris will create for us but is still young so may be inconsistent. Vine hopefully will bring that creativity and experience....and maybe score a few goals as well.

**PeterboroHibee** · 13-07-2013 09:31 AM

Im happy with these signings.

In Vine we have an experienced striker in for the European games, who can also provide back up to the wingers (we are quite short in that position). I imagine we will still be after another striker so there will be good competition there.

Thomson also provides us with depth in the midfield position, and we all know he is a good player.

When you look at some of the guys other teams have been signing, they are essentially relying on gambles (United have signed two guys from Hayes and Yeading for example). They may turn out to be good signings, but every player we have signed is an experienced, established SPL player (except Mullen but he is just a kid). Id much rather be in this position.

**Eternal Hibbie** · 13-07-2013 09:32 AM

Tin hat on but completely underwhelmed by this belated news from ER.

Thomson has been confirmed by posters on here for several days now and Vine appears to be another cheap option, probably a direct replacement for Doyle and, as others have already pointed out is not a prolific goalscorer, having said that I obviously hope he does very well here.

After last night's toothless performance some kind of action was clearly necessary but why does it always take so long with us, Europe should be important to Hibs but they continually give the impression that this ain't the case.

Yeah I know there are several weeks yet for other signings but our season starts next Thursday, don't understand the posters on here saying it doesn't matter as we'll only get a game or two in Europe anyway - we'll get more games with a better team won't me.

Think our support have once again answered our leaders call to buy more season tickets to allow the manager to invest in the side.

And while I'm at it why all the subterfuge regarding the situation of Maybury, Claros, Kuqi and Done, did I miss something ?

Hope we have a great season but I despair at times though I ought to be used to it by now.

C'mon the Hibs.
