[sauzee=legend]

As mentioned on sky sports transfer centre- Simon church is training with us. Thoughts?

Welsh international. Got a few caps when they were at their worst before their revival in recent years.

[sauzee=legend]

With the link with church and previously that twat Kyle..... Lennon is after a target man for sure.

I agree tho his scoring record is shocking.

30+ caps. Played at Euros last year

[dmc1875]

He did fine at Aberdeen? Pretty sure he scored 6 or 7 goals in 13 games...

Don't know much about him but having had a quick look online he appears to be a Holt-type striker and has played at a decent level.

6 goals in 13 appearances for Aberdeen at the end of the 15/16 season suggests he is more than capable at our level, welsh internationalist, and a good age as well.

Sounds positive.

On paper he did very well - 6 goals in 13 starts.

Overall career scoring record isn't so hot, but may be a good foil for Simon Murray. If Lennon sees fit to have a look at him, that's fine with me.

[Diclonius]

Has a very poor scoring record. Given we were (allegedly after) the likes of Moult and Stewart earlier, if this is true it suggests we're onto the low end of our targets.

If Lennon is looking for a 'target man' to say, play alongside a goalscorer (stokes) and sees Murray as another goalscorer then goals aren't everything. Maybe he's good at holding the ball up, bringing others into play, work rate, leading the line etc etc

You dont get 30 international caps if you have nothing about you.

Well that's him panned and chucked in Hibs.net no thanks list after 8 minutes.

****ing tragic

If he's better than Holt it's a step up again.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I normally wouldn't say this but he is absolute *****....we need a proven goal scorer

[neil7908]

He's a name I know but can't remember anything about him tbh.

Checking Wikipedia he's 28, 6ft and played in the Dutch top flight last year.

We do, however if you assume he's a target man to replace Holt then he doesn't really need to be a great goalscorer to step into his shoes. It's Cummings replacement that needs to be a proven goal scorer.

If he's just in to train and for us to have a look at him I don't see any problems with that.

I think I will stop visiting this forum, so much negative bile chucked at anyone we take a look at. Have had enough.

Can only recall him from his time at Aberdeen, but he's got pace and is good in the air. Certainly didn't do a bad job for them. McInnes wanted to keep him permanently IIRC.

It's unlikely we will get a 25 goal a season signing...so I feel we need all our signings to have a decent return...

As for Church - Charlton fan I know who watched him play for them in the championship says he is very workman like, needs a few chances to score..probably more "league one" level was his summary...

its getting very tiresome and spoiling this site for me.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Take a look at him and see what he can do, same as Pennant. If they don't cut it, we look elsewhere.

[JimBHibees]

Since when did we turn into Barcelona. Simon Church would do a decent job for us. Good age and physical remember him being a decent player for Reading.

[Andy74]

Since when did big target men types have decent scoring records? Very few have. Stats don't tell you anything about their all round game.

We have to recall the records for these guys have generally also been made at a standard above where we will be playing.

[1875STEVE]

So a guy with English Premiership & Championship experience, as well as the Eredivisie in Holland, who has played international football, including reaching and playing in the European Championship semi final, and scored 6 in 13 in the SPL 12 months ago, and is still only 28, is being dismissed already.
