Fenlons duds

[Last Minute]

Let's see how many players this guy has signed since he has been here who are duds and should never wear a Hibs shirt . I'll start with vine. A disgrace to the famous number 9 shirt

Claros, what a shocker of a player should never ever play in a hibs shirt again, fearful, timid, shocking first touch, no fight, doesn't care. Fenlon is Useless.




















(fast forward 6 months)

Claros, what a player, deserves man of the match most games, never gives up, so much fight...

The Famous Matt Doherty

[TRC]

Kuqi Soares done

[Liams]

I feel fenlon had made more decent signing than duds, claros turned good robertson turned good, maybury is a helpful squad player.. However of the top of my head...

Kuqi - too old
Kajabi
Clancy - only based on injury prone
Docherty
Vine
Deegan after his jaw got broke

Perhaps re signing of oconnor and sproul ( are they cc signings) cause my views have changed on them now.

One thing his signings do take a long time to gel: griffis, claros, robertson, doyle

Probably far less on average than most of our recent managers.

Mowbray had a range of shockers too so he's included in that.

[Bostonhibby]

Hard one as some of the "duds" are players that were doing okay elsewhere and were generally welcomed here as being a positive move. I think we need to look at what happens to them all when they do arrive.

For me its how we set ourselves up/use/motivate the players. We do seem to persist with something that ain't right for a long time - failure to address the key full back positions, our use or misuse of Lewis, no real winger for a long time, erratic introduction of youngsters - they are in then they're not - are they any better than the duds at first team level - how will we know? ...............Did we manage Sean Welsh situation properly?

What happens at East Mains? I could go on but no one is really accountable to the fans so am starting to wonder what the point is when we have an ownership structure that is not capable of any meaningful challenge and seems content to avoid relegation and balance the books in line with whatever our turnover is irrespective of the product on the pitch.

[Pete]

What's the point?

[Beefster]

I know Doherty is a tit but he wasn't actually that bad a player for us.

Francombe on the other hand...

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Kujabi
Doherty
Saores
Done
Francombe???
Kuqi
O'donovan
Deegan
Vine

Theres probably a few more...

[hibbymick]

My memory is worse than i thought, Kujabi defo a Fenlon signing. Ah well heres a wee clip of the great man.....

It was the shot by Kujabi that nearly hit the corner flag that was a clue to how good he wasn't

Let's make this thread a little easier. In his entire time at hibs what decent players has he signed...says it all for me.

Williams, McGivern, Heffernan, Many were clamouring for Thomson, OTJ was a very good player at Inverness, Craig the same as St Johnstone. Suppose I am going back to my point about what we do with them when we get them..................

I think he's had quite a few to be honest.

Williams, Nelson, Thomson, Heff, resigning Griffiths on loan, Doyle wasn't bad etc.

Transfer wise he's probably done the best of our recent crop of managers.

williams yes, craig yes and heffernan maybe. Thomson will have been a rod signing. That's not a good return out of the number that have come and gone...tbh I have no idea how many that is!

i would say the likes of Hughes and even calderwood has been better. Griffiths was a calderwood signing, resigning can't count for me.

IMO his transfers / ability to spot a player is terrible.

Won't be arguing much with you, I did like his intial emptyings out though, mind you 99% of us on here knew who had to go and why as well so that doesn't make a manager. FWIW I have moved into the please go camp..........................

What at worries me is if Danny Galbraith or agogo were still at the club they would have been on the pitch last night.

Griffiths was pretty rubbish under Calderclown, Fenlon definitely helped turn him around and he deserves a lot of credit for that.

Williams is by far the best keeper we've had in years, McPake was great when he was still fit, Nelson seems a solid defender, McGivern is good, Robertson, Craig and OTJ should, in theory at least, come good. Claros was top notch, Thomson obviously, Maybury seems to have had a positive impact at the club as a whole...

I'd say overall he has a higher standard of signing than Hughes or Calderwood had by some distance.

Well, any good groundsman will tell you that you that its important to get out there at half time and put all the divots back in, someone has to do it.

Shoud the heading of this thread not be Fenlon's a dud?

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Fenlon has made some good signings. He's brought in some experienced spl players-something we were all crying out for. He signed our best keeper for a decade. Every manager gets a few wrong. Certainly every Hibs manager in my lifetime has. We'll be criticising Fenlon's choice of specs soon

What nonsense. At least if you are having a go at someone then quote facts/stats to back it up. To speculate about who might have played is pointless

you are missing the point, they would have added something to what was on the pitch.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

What have I said that's incorrect?? I'm not defending his tactics(lack of), last night or anything else! I'm saying that I don't think his signings should be another stick to beat him with!! We all still cream ourselves over Mowbray and Collins and both brought in plenty duds!! Fenlon is not using his signings nearly well enough but to suggest he's only signed duds is nonsense

Happily agree to disagree, far too many "was", "should" and "seems" in there for me.

There is no doubt about about Williams, but I don't think McPake has ever been a player.
