There's no relevance to your comment. It was us that gave him the contract.

My comment was more relevant than your reply. Vela was brought up because he’s a waste of a wage! Agreed?

Same here. I wonder why any Hibs player deserves abuse from Hibs supporters though.

I wonder if some people have ever cracked a smile. Mallan was getting it tight on Twitter, some folk.

[dchibs]

Has he been shown the back door?

I’d be happy to see if he can fit in under Ross.

I don’t see any reason to give the guy abuse.

Sure, but I am struggling to think of a single contribution he has made since joining Hibs. His displays have been utterly ineffectual... like Slivka on one of his worst days, but none of the redeeming qualities.

[Robbo6-2]

I was hoping the new thread meant he was away :(

No I don't agree at all. It's been mentioned on here umpteen times that there were others who we collectively thought were useless until we had a change of manager and who showed up better once given a real chance. I'll reserve judgement until he's had that same chance or leaves in which case I'll wish him well. That probably won't fit with your agenda though so you bash on with the name calling and abuse of Hibs players.

When Heckingbottom left, May immediately dropped Vela, there was no mention of an injury at that time and there was no mention of an injury even after Ross's first 2-3 games, suddenly the lad has a thigh injury which he's had since Nov 2nd., all a bit weird tbh.

It's a thigh muscle injury, not sure it merits a mention on our website in the same way as a medical operation does?

A thigh strain refers to an injury where the fibres in a quadriceps muscles are overstretched. Once the fibers are overstretched to a certain point, muscle tears occur. These can vary from a minor strain to a full thickness muscle tear.

In football, thigh strains often occur when the player is slowing down (decelerating) after a sprint, either because they are taking too small or too large steps.

Who saw him sprint?
What level injury do we think Josh has and how long will it take to fix?

Me, I think he has had a full body refurbishment and brain reset.
The guys at East Mains are just doin' the final tweaks before releasing back into Scottish football at the start of February.

The Velameister returns and this times it's serious!

Hibs have reported he's injured. Nobody is guessing anything

Where about?

I can’t remember the injury news on Vela when it was discovered he had strained his thigh. Two and a half months later we all knew all along.

[we are hibs]

Pretty invisible everytime hes been on the park other than a 5 minute spell against hearts in and around when we went 1 up in september. Not sure hes got the heart for it from what i have seen. If we can move him on then we should imo.

That was last week. He’s been out since the start of November.

So you meant it’s been reported two months after not being seen since Hecky got punted 👍

[blackpoolhibs]

I don't think we will see him again in a Hibs top, and to be honest that would be best all round in my opinion.

I;ve never seen someone come in as poor as he is, especially as he came with a bit of a reputation as a decent signing.

I watch him and think to myself, do you even want to be playing football for us, as for me he doesn't want to get involved in the games, and looks as if he wants to be nowhere near where the ball is most of the time.

If the Shinnie rumour is right, then what an upgrade that would be if we could get him out the door and Shinnie in.

JR says in the EEN article it only happened a couple of games ago.

Just showing you what the club has said, no need to get all touchy

[CMurdoch]

If the strain is a small one (grade one) you’ll be on the sidelines for just seven to 10 days, but if the fibres are more damaged (grade two) expect to be in charge of the half-time oranges for anything between two and eight weeks. A grade three thigh strain is very serious, with the treatment table time eight weeks or more.

Vela hasn't been seen for 10 weeks.
His leg must've been hingin' off!

[lord bunberry]

Hopefully the guy can come back and show he’s a good player under Ross. I’m sure he’ll get the chance as I can’t see anyone wanting him based on what he’s done so far. Maybe he’d be better in a different position/tactics than he had under heckingbottom.

Maybe if he’s gets played in his best position, may help his performances

Hopefully that’s all he needs. It’s in everyone’s best interest to have him performing well and playing every week. He’d be like a new signing if he comes back and plays well.

would love if we got Shinnie he's like two player's rolled into one, well one player and one refaree.

What's the Shinnie rumour then?

He's injured i believe and was a regulator starter before being injured. Don't see him going anywhere

I think Ross did say a while ago that Vela had been unlucky in that he wasn't in the side when he took over and he didn't want to come in and change a winning team. The injury story came later.

Fwiw I don't think we have heard the full story around his lengthy absence. He disappeared after his horror show at Hampden, not really a surprise, but to not even be quoted since is just odd. He was far from the only player underperforming at that time. Pretty much anyone could have been made the scapegoat.

There is an interview from December that doesn't mention any injury, so whatever happened between Heckingbottom leaving and then is a mystery but imagine he got injured soon after

[Greenbeard]

He's powder puff
Doesn't like it rough
Hasn't shown enough
And sure ain't tough
We need sterner stuff
Than this bit of fluff
Is that all guff?
Or is he just plain duff?

[Northernhibee]

I really want him to come good. There is a very good player in there.
