source?

[CMurdoch]

Not good if true.
Thought he could do a job.
He must have known how much we would pay before arriving.
Perhaps we only offered a 1 year deal and he wanted 2 or 3.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Our offer was what we'd be willing to pay him and how long for. Well done hibs for not being pressured

[Bostonhibby]

Next please.

Wouldn't have like to have seen us go radio rental on an offer for him, no huge loss.

[CapitalGreen]

So we are treating this one as fact then despite there being no evidence to support it being true.

[Golden Bear]

So another one may have bitten the dust. Are there any good strikers out there in the Hibs Net community?

[phoenixfire]

Bbc confirming it

Is that not normal practice on here?

Heard it on a BBC Wales radio bulletin.

Not until I know the source.
Think the only reason he would turn us down after coming on trial would be a better offer now on the table from an English team

Folk thought it was the worst idea ever to try and sign him, now folk will pop up saying the opposite, hibs can't win.

Pressure on now...... that's Lafferty and Church turned us down one way or another and Berry deal fell through for whatever reason.

IF stokes turns us down then we have a problem!

sounds like the length of contract on offer might have been a factor, didn't want to be away from his family and didn't want to move them all the way up here for just a 1 year contract.

Given his bad injury last year i can't imagine us committing to a longer deal than that.

Lafferty didn't turn us down as we never offered a deal, he didn't turn up for a meeting with Lennon.

Church must've known roughly what offers there may be on the table, I think this is another case of money down south making average players expect more than what they're worth.

That why I said one way or another. Lafferty turned down a meeting with Hibs which may have led to a contract offer. Church quotes don't suggest betttr offer down south yet. Wasn't fussed about either especially Church but would rather we secured our targets.

By not turning up, Lafferty was turning us down.

By default, Lafferty did turn us down as he was expected to be in for talks and didn't show up. He maybe didn't turn down a deal as talks didn't go that far but he did turn the club down.

As for Church, I'm not overly fussed. If his heart's not in it then he's no good to us anyway.

[Pete]

Fair enough and we move on. If we've offered him what we think is fair then we shouldn't be extending ourselves to suit players who probably aren't quite as good as they think they are.

It's a big world and there are lots of other players out there. Let's get finding them!

[patch1875]

Amen

[Onceinawhile]

Meh.

Speaking with one of the " Development squad" a few minutes ago and he " understands it was problems with relocating his haimly- they were'nt keen on a " Scotland move "

Why waste our time (and his) coming on trial if his family don't fancy it? He's basically used us to get fit by the sound of it.

Confirmed by Radio Scotland. The package was "not attractive" enough for him to relocate his family.

[Tamhere1875]

Seems his wife did not like Edinburgh

[lyonhibs]

I read on here that he's gash according to some erudite and irrefutably knowledgeable chaps so good riddance.

We don't need international 28 year old strikers at the club anyway......
