So if Doidge one on one with keeper, you’re confident he will score? Why was he not a quality player when Heckungbottom was here? He played most weeks.

No more or less than our other forwards.

He was a quality player then, I just didn't think he was because he wasn't showing it. I'm one of those who is able to change their opinion based on new evidence

Hibernian FC are the pinnacle of Newells career and always will be. This is a guy who could not get a game for Rotherham. Happy if he stays, not over fussed if he goes.

Any Hibs player you like?

139 league appearances in 4 seasons does not give me the impression that Joe struggled for game time whilst at Rotherham 😁

Any Hibs player you like?

Franck Sauzee, Russell Latapy, Steve Archibald, Andy Goram, Jim Leighton, John Collins, David Murphy etc.

Of the current set of players, which of them fall in to the above category?

So you aren’t allowed to like players unless they fall into the hibs legends category?

Christ you must like about 1 player every decade

Lewis Stevenson has achieved more at hibs than any of them by the way😉

We are 3rd. So he must be good enough. We are still scoring goals.

Yes we are 3rd and I'm happy with that, I still want one of my main strikers having a better scoring ratio, not a lot to ask for is it.

Tbf to the poster, I remember when he signed for us, Rotherham fans said he was much better coming off the bench, when he started he wasn’t that effective but did a good job when he came off the bench.

I don’t know how many he started so you might be right, my understanding was that he wasn’t holding down a regular starting slot when we signed him though.

Given he has the best ratio of that type of player since Chris Killen and Mixu then yes, it generally is a lot to ask.

Why thank you.

My My initial point remains, Joe Newell is lucky to be playing for Hibs. If he was/is to leave, the club he goes to won’t be as big a club as Hibs.

How many players have we seen in the last 10 years go on to bigger things? John McGinn?

Lewis, Gray, Hanlon and McGregor are well above all of them aside from Collins and Murphy who both won honors.

You’re guessing or can you provide actual stats? If he was such a roaring success at Rotherham ( who won promotion to the championship) why would he end up at Hibs?

I guess all those games he played for Rotherham did not convince them he was worth a better deal?

Ok, you’re better on the stats for his game time at Rotherham.

If he was to leave, Will he get a better club than Hibs and start every week?

Rotherham stats.
16/17 39 games 6 as a sub
17/18 48 games 19 as a sub
18/19 40 games 13 as a sub.

I don't know. That has no bearing whatsoever on his importance to us or his quality. I really do not see why it is relevant.

I’d rather watch Sauzee & Latapy every day even tho the 4 guys you mentioned are fantastic servants to the club.

What difference does that make to his value to Hibs. Folk were coming out with similar lines when McGeouch was leaving and 2.5 years later we’ve still never adequately replaced what he brought to the team.

Ok I stand corrected. A substantial amount of his games were from the bench.

I’m not having a pop at Joe Newell. If he signs then good, if he leaves, so be it. There will be equally good or better available. Hopefully a fit Scott Allan will take over or perhaps Jackson Irvine? Or we let Joe Newell go and sign the Motherwell lad.
