Oli Shaw sold

[Since452]

Don't want to sound bad but I'm absolutely delighted to get a six figure sum for Shaw. Best move for his career.

[hibbie02]

A shame to lose him, as I thought he had great potential. I suspect he will haunt us in future. If only that goal at the Gorgie dump had been given, he would have been a hero. However, if we can use that money to get a Sparky in, then needs must.

[WeeRussell]

I'd have liked to have kept him on the books, but if it is six figures and we bring in a new (decent) front man I'll get over it.

All the best to the young lad, clearly has a lot of potential.

[JohnMcM]

Good luck to you Oli. I. always wanted you to come good at ER. You have the potential, we have seen it, now go out there and make a good career for yourself.

[allezsauzee]

I confidently predict that Oli will become the new Clayton Donaldson with a thread discussing how stupid we were to let him go every time he goes on a run of scoring despite never doing enough at Easter Road to justify a run in the team.I wish him all the best but I don't think he was ever likely to be anything better than being cover for our main strikers. Sparky to replace him hopefully (either one).

[Jim44]

We have to get another striker in, McNulty or another and we settle for that upfront. I just hope that the slight possibility of Kamberi moving on doesn’t materialise. I think the Polish club is still sniffing around or have they had an ‘on your bike’ refusal after an improved offer?

[Waxy]

A loan to the championship was the way to go.

The Shaw haters will be whacking off at this news, until he comes back to haunt us. Disappointed to see him going tbh

He doesn’t have enough in his locker to come back and haunt us so no worries on that score. Best of luck to him if this is true, not seen it confirmed anywhere.

[MWHIBBIES]

Disagree with this but we'll see how it works out. We've had much worse first choice strikers than him never mind third choice. And he was still going to improve. Should've loaned him to another prem side this season, or a decent champ side and got 40 games in him.

I think this is a mistake, he should be loaned to a team like Ross County. None of us know how good the boy actually is due to the lack of game time he’s had recently. A loan deal to another premiership team would’ve told us everything we needed to know about him. I hope this story isn’t true.

It’s not about us knowing how good he is though, it’s about the club and the manager(s) knowing. Then if he’s good enough he’ll get the chance to show us what he can do. 3 different managers haven’t started him and the more time goes on the less we’re seeing of him. That would suggest that the manager(s) and the club have decided he isn’t good enough.

[AgentDaleCooper]

I think he might be a late developer and go on to play for scotland.

It's not a mistake if we're using the money to bring in a better player.

Possibly, but I’m not convinced we’re sure how good Oli is yet.

You may well be right, but as I said a loan move to Ross County would’ve told us everything we needed to know.

Whatever the reasons, he’s not contributed anything at all this season. If we can move him on and bring someone in who will, then that’s what we need to do.

[Hibeesmad]

Sounds very much like we are trying to raise the funds for McNulty. Wouldn't be leaving our third choice striker go if there was nobody to replace them.

[CapitalGreen]

I’ve always seen parallels between Shaw and Calvert-Lewin at Everton. Both lanky, athletic strikers who were prolific at youth level, representing their countries but seemed to struggle with the physical side of stepping up to the first team. Calvert-Lewin is a year older than Shaw is but has only established himself as first choice in recent months following Ferguson’s brief tenure and the appointment of Ancelotti. Good luck to Oli if he leaves, I think he’ll benefit greatly from a manager putting his faith in him and getting a run of starts.

[Gaffer1875]

Wish the lad well. For me, McNulty is not the answer.

I would have quite liked to see him go on loan over the last couple of seasons. Wouldn’t have been against him going on loan just now but I reckon he’s passed that stage at us. If the funds can be put to good use then it’s a decent move for all imo.

Posters discussing what we are using the money for - does anyone actually think Ross County have 100,000 to spend on one player? I'll believe that when Hibs announce it.....

I can't remember the last time Hibs announced a transfer fee in or out.

No chance they've spent £100k on anyone.

Maybe £25k with an additional £75k if they reach the champions league group stages.

We'll no doubt have a sell on %, so if he does well and gets a move, we'll make some money

I do, they have a scatter cash owner.

I take it this is all still paper talk with no concrete evidence.

Agreed. Cracking bit of business by Hibs.

[Coco Bryce]

Oli has the ability but sadly his heart just isn't in it.

Always been a problem for him even as a youngster at Spartans.

[Heisenberg]

STV reporting talks are going well and could be in their squad to play Hearts tonight.

With regards to the cash aspect, I’m sure their owner had them bring in a tonne of players one January when they were looking like going down. He’s got the cash. They also just sold someone to Aberdeen.

I could believe 25,000 with a sell on fee % but the notion of 100,000 now seems fanciful at best.

Based on thier record of spending £68k in total in thier history on transfer fees....I'm not sure how scatter-cash the owner actually is.

[Hibeesmad]

Shaw could be playing against Hearts tonight apparently.

[#persevered]

Jamie Borthwick on twitter saying it could be done soon enough for him to play against Jambos tonight.

I thought he didn't get a fair chance at Hibs but if he goes for 6 figures and then hours later scores against Hearts, surely that could be the best exit of all time.
