Wouldn't be the worst thing, although who do we have as a spare left back

Yip indeed! Good luck to the lad.

Trust Stubbs and his management team to get it right tho.

Probably the best for both parties.

Crane? Still might be a bit young. I guess when Jordon is back Hanlon could play left back also.

***snooky*** · 28-01-2015 09:27 AM

Good move for him.
Always thought he had a bit of class.
Sorry to see him go.

**Nevi_SOL** · 28-01-2015 09:27 AM

This is like when spoony left. Good players on their days but best for parties to continue advancing in the right directions

***Bostonhibby*** · 28-01-2015 09:29 AM

Good luck to the guy, I rated him, never an out and out defender but could turn out to be a very good attacking midfielder - mis used by some honking managers which hasn't helped his development.

**DaveF** · 28-01-2015 09:36 AM

Quite disappointed with this news. I think Booth is an excellent attacking option in midfield, has good feet, great energy and good attitude. If used correctly he'll be a good addition to Partick.

All the best to him.

Yeah have to trust Stubbs as he's done great imo so far. Good luck to him and hope he goes on and does well.

Yip. Best for both parties.... For all I like Booth there is no sentiment in this game and if it means the club doing better then it's fine by me.

I agree 100%.

Has never really had a run in the team since he broke through under Calderwood (and he was the only positive to come out of that era).

The worst thing that happened for him at Hibs was Lewis Stevenson finding form and consistency under managers prepared to play him at left-back every week.

Booth, at 24, needs first team football every week though and he shouldn't be a Championship 2nd choice.

Bets of luck to him. Other than the odd defensive lapse he's never let us down.

***J-C*** · 28-01-2015 09:42 AM

With the system Stubbs uses we need complete wingbacks, that means they have to do a hell of a lot of tracking back, so stamina and strength is important and while Booth is good going forward the few times I have seen him this year he has been a bit on the lazy side when it comes to getting back into position. The few times where he's looked ok was when he was played as a CH and defending was all he had to do, or when we went to a back 3 and again defending isn't a top priority, it's always been his weakest part of his game and unfortunately he's never improved enough to get a regular slot.

**Iain G** · 28-01-2015 09:43 AM

Thought he would have stayed til end of season, did well the other week playing that left wingback role. Hanlon as cover for Lewis?!

And so too can Fontaine.

Stv says loan deal is this correct?

He's got 6 months left on his deal at Hibs, so technically correct

I'd have thought Hanlon would be a better option if we were to go down that route? He broke through at left back, mind.

**EdinMike** · 28-01-2015 10:36 AM

Jeeez Booth is 23* ?! Move him I say, love the boy and everything he does but time is time...

I think we will bring more in possibly a loan player from EPL who can play left back also.

Someone in particular?

Luke Garbutt at Everton is meant to be quite a prospect, he'd do.

**davcar** · 28-01-2015 11:11 AM

Unfortunate for Booth, big problem that with Gray out we have been playing with 4 left sided defenders very unbalanced

**PeeJay** · 28-01-2015 11:13 AM

On official site now - disappointed the club hasn't been able to make more out of him - thought he had it in him to be a decent footballer, doesn't seem to be working out, will yet another loan help?

***Golden Bear*** · 28-01-2015 11:17 AM

He's a decent player but I'm still not fully convinced that he's good enough to command a regular first team place.

Doesn't matter to us now if a loan helps or not, he's played his last game.
