Inverness are giving Farid a Trial period. They obviously think he might be good enough for the Premiership - Stubbs thought he wasn't good enough for the Championship !

Good player to be fair to him but injured all the time.

If he signs the medical, he'll play about 5 games for them.
El Alagui was clearly a very good player but incapable of having a consistent run of games without another 3/4 months out after that injury at Alloa.

It'd be a pisser if he ended up being like McPake - drawing a big wage from us whilst never managing to get himself fit before going and playing lots of games for his next club.
Sean Welsh too.

Good luck to him - nice guy and scored a great goal against the yams.
Shame didn't work out for him at ER - Achilles injuries are a nightmare.

Good player, liked him. No offence to Farid but any club giving him a contract other than a pay-per-play deal must be off their nut.

The criticism of Farid really doesn't sit well with me. He always gave his all whenever fit. It's not his fault that he's had bad luck with injuries and i'm sure he's as frustrated as everyone else. Seen him in the crowd a few times at games and he has always been a gentleman and talked positively about Hibs. It's a shame it never worked out with us as he was fantastic first season but that's life

He'd played loads for Dundee in the 18 months after leaving us and there was no sign of the chronic back injury that stopped him playing for us more.

Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

Unfortunately though he was a terrible signing because of injuries - that were not his fault.

I'll stick my neck out and say I don't think we'd be in the Championship if he'd been fit for most of the past 2 seasons.
But sadly, the reality is that he's seldom fit and therefore he's not a player we can afford to take a risk on.

I felt for him as you could tell there was a player in there, its just a pity he cant seem to get any luck and stay fit.
That goal against Hearts shows what he has in the locker but unfortunately, we didnt see it enough.
The Hampden semi final against Dundee United really summed it all up for him, brought on as a sub and then subbed again due to injury if my memory serves me correctly.
Anyway, good luck to the guy.

I'm surprised he passed the medical at Hibs, yes he did his achilles in but the injury in his knee was never getting better.
The achilles injury looks like its healed, but he was always breaking down with his knee.

If we dont find a decent back up to Holt in this window id sign Alagui on a pay as you play deal! No risk but could give us some rewards if he does manage to get himself fit!
Nothing to lose.
As for Stubbs not thinking he was good enough for the championship, Stubbs signed him to come and get us out of the championship.
Injuries were the only reason he never got a new contract imo.

He could have given us a direct threat last year when we struggled against packed defences. He came on against Dumbarton when we were 3 down and changed the game. A real pity that his injury cost him his place at Hibs and I really hope he can continue playing.

I like Farid. If he didn't get that horrific injury I think he would of become a hero. I have no doubt he would of scored a lot of goals.
Good luck to them.

I'm with the "how on Earth did Farid/ McPake/ Clancy ever pass a medical in the first place" camp.
