    I'm going to say this is going to be one of those signings that turns out brilliantly despite being a bit uninspiring on the face of it.

    actually comes across as a real down to earth guy

    Ive seen him a few times and he has been pretty decent

    Better having him cover CM than Whitts anyway

    When I’ve watched Motherwell I’ve always thought he looked the part.

    Motherwell miss out the midfield, I am with you on this, maybe has more to offer than we might think.

    He came on as a sub in the cup final and totally changed the dynamics of the midfield. Clever probing passing, spraying the ball around and was on top of Celtics midfield for most of it
    Thought then that he would be a great (under the radar) acquisition
    The boys got talent

    Like a few have commented on his humility is good to see. Genuinely seems surprised to be at Hibs and I've an inclination he could turn out to be a very astute signing. He's at a good age and has a decent bit experience. Welcome to Hibs Gael.

    Said it on another thread but Iv always been a fan of his, very composed on the ball and gets out of tight situations very well.

    Always reminded me of Mcgeouch.

    Not a Motherwell style of player, think he will fit in well here.

    Very much out of left field this, he seems as surprised Hibs came calling for him as I am. He certainly seems like a nice lad, lets hope he can bring something to our midfield. Welcome to Hibs Gael

    A bit like the signing of John O’Neill maybe, hope so

    John O’Neil was St Johnstone’s best player and scored a goal in a freezing cold night to put us out the league cup before coming to us. He was also my fav player when at us and my man of the match by miles in the 6-2 games. My hero. 💚. New boy does half as good I’ll love him too.

    I'll be honest and say that when I heard this earlier my reaction was "**** off". At the risk of using a cliche I was very much underwhelmed at the thought.

    I can't remember what he was like, and then I saw the thread on Twitter from Motherwell's announcement and their fans are fitted he's gone, so I'm a bit not optimistic about it now.

    Comes across really well in the interview, too.

    When we horsed them at Easter Road earlier in the season. He was the only Motherwell player that day that looked half decent.

    Always liked him this fella, finally a real McGeouch replacement.
    What’s the contract?

    God knows where Slivka, Gauld and Omeonga are gonna play.

    Diamond?

    Exactly the type of player we need re controlling the tempo of the game ala Dylan. Hope he does well and seems a very nice person from the interview. A decent acquisition hopefully.

    Was underwhelmed at first considering he isn’t a starter at Motherwell but reading their fans comments on twitter makes me think this could be a decent acquisition. Seems to be a bit of a cult hero for many. Should suit our style of play.

    His interview is a good one and he does say he wanted to play in a team that played like Hibs in terms of passing and the technical players in midfield (assuming he was talking about last season).

    Weve had to play Whittaker centre mid quite a bit this season - Bartley is 32 and Milliagn 33. Bigirimana will be cover....might be an astute signing and wont be costing us much

    I have a feeling he will make a better impression than folk think
