    “It sounds like a cliché, but it really has been a hope of mine - a dream - to play in America.” Stanton said.

    least that is what he says in the press release, will see what he thinks when it is 108f at kick off!

    His contract was up in the summer and he hadn't been playing much recently.

    Was reading into the team. Top team in the second tier and applied for mls expansion. Looks like a good move for the lad. Was part of a group who just came through at the wrong time with management issues.

    The Grass is always greener on the other side. Especially when you can't grow grass at all.

    Always like to see players that have come through our academy who are not good enough for us make a living out of the game.

    LOL, I guess he is not that local, but round these parts 1.5 hour away is "local".

    Can't wait to see him play next month

    The kind of move I’m surprised not more bang average Scottish players make. Good luck to him.

    No any worse than the likes of Slivka, Halberg, Mallen or even Horgan. Very fine lines in football these days.

    Best of luck Sam.

    Mcpake seems to be signing loads of old Hibs and Hearts players. I think he would improve Dundee though having seen them twice recently.

    I still believe there was a fine footballer in Sam Stanton that was mis-managed.

    He was decent enough technically. Just never had enough physically imo.

    Same problem we have had with a lot of our youth players recently. Especially the ones that broke through around that time

    Exactly. He’s a guy who should have spent more time in the gym trying to add some pounds. A fine footballer but lacking physically.

    Nah. He wasn't good enough.

    Xavi and Iniesta weren't exactly units.

    Rising FC listed him as 1 of 8 players back for next year 3 weeks ago on Facebook page, maybe something has changed.

    I don’t think he was anything spectacular but I think he was good enough on the ball. That’s about it though, just good enough.

    His lack of physical ability let him down though imo and overall he wasn’t good enough for Hibs.

    Shaw is miles ahead of Handling. No comparison there.

    Would you ever see Sam scoring 2 goals away at Hearts? Or winners against the old firm?

    Those players are all well better than Stanton.
