    James McFadden

    Gone quiet and I don't know if there is anyone who knows anything to it but..

    Is there a realistic chance of this happening or should we just drop it now?

    Don't claim to be ITK but I'd think if it was going to happen it would have happened by now.......... Cue James McFadden signing :)

    I thought he would have joined a club by now, he no doubt has a lot of options, would love it if it was us he joined

    Pay as you play deals are very rare and may aswell not exist, as I understand it there are a lot of legal ramifications on these deals which make them practically unenforceable. For what it's worth I thought McFadden had issues with both his knees? Would more than likely be a player/coach type deal.

    This would be a sensible suggestion. I just don't see him at E.R.

    Someone on another thread said that he had received an offer from a club in the U.S - not sure if this is correct.

    FWIW - I think he would have been a cracking signing (both player and in a coaching role).

    I actually recall asking this some time ago but have we or any other team, apart from us with GB and that really was special circumstances, ever given a pay as you play contract?

    Interesting. Would be nice to have that confirmed right enough but I think my point still stands, it is not the norm.

    It would indeed but there are ONE or two on here that would be very unhappy if he signed Col. Not for footballing reasons tho.

    Be good if we could get him, even for one season, what do you mean by one or two being unhappy if he signed ?

    How can a guy that scored for fun at most clubs he has been at and for our national team not be happy about coming to Hibs
    James Mcfadden come on down.

    Still talking about McFadden?
    58 goals in 12 years at club level? Scored for fun?
    International record is better though (15).

    Surely you must see that it's not just about his goal tally ?
    He would create plenty for our strikers.
