Who sits out? I'd have rather have Jackson, Newell, Gogic and Allan. Unless he's playing for peanuts its a no from me.

I'd rather have a retiring, pished, fat Scott Brown than Gogic.

Have a word with yourself ffs.

[blackpoolhibs]

I think he just might be past it, although there are sometimes i look at our midfield and question myself on that score.

Even though his level has dropped he is still as good or better than all of those players. He would enhance the squad, no doubt about it.

At times this team have been crying out for an experienced and calm (in a footballing sense) head in the middle of the park, brown would definitely give us that as well as a wee bit of dig when things aren't going our way.

Plus, if we are to get european group stage football, his experience of playing in europe would be an asset not only to the players but the manager who has never played or managed in european football before.

Of course it all depends on whether ross wants him and he wants to come but even though i generally don't like to see ex players/managers returning i would be all for a one or two year deal.

He'd struggle for game time

Bring him in for derbies. Hawrts fans despise him and he is a master of goading people

Anyone think he could make a useful contribution to Hibs as a player, should the chance arise for him to give something back?

100% yes.

In a playing sense, his experience and bringing a mental toughness to the squad.

[The Modfather]

I’d rather spend what would be a big wage on someone up and coming like Campbell than Brown. However if you put legs and energy around him I think we could still get a good season or two out of him.

I don’t like getting ahead of myself but if we do finish 3rd and are in group stages of European football next season we’ll need a big squad.

Someone with Browns experience could be hugely beneficial to us.

Also worth remembering that by the end of the season he’ll have probably played well in excess of 30-35 games for a team that’ll probably finish around 15-20 points ahead of us. The idea he couldn’t contribute something for us is nonsense IMO.

Whether he would be value for money is a different argument but in terms of what he could offer on the pitch it would be a no brainier IMO.

I think having better players around him has helped him over the last couple of seasons, but as they have regressed, he's regressed quicker in my opinion.

I agree about the bigger squad, hopefully we will need that, but i just have my doubts over him now.

I wouldn’t like to be relying on him to play 40 games a season but used the right way and if he wasn’t too expensive I think he’d be a smart signing.

Looking at our midfield yesterday, who was the leader there? I think we could have done with someone like him yesterday.

If we can get a leader that’s younger then great but I don’t think they’re that easy to come by.

You might be right Bingo, it's a tough one that probably wont happen anyway.

[The 90+2]

I would give him a year or two, yes. We give Stephen McGinn a contract for very little afterall. His experience would be amazing around the club.

Yeah I would agree with all of this.

Bring him in on an Edinburgh Derby only contract.

Think McGinn’ is more our Chief Scout nowadays

[CMurdoch]

Was a great player but 36 in June which for a player of his playing style is game over as evidenced by his performances this season. Time waits for no man. When it's over it's over. I was watching Naismith playing for Hearts on Friday and he is done as well. It comes to every player no matter how good.
For those that want Brown around the place for his experience etc we already have SDG doing that job full time with Daz and young Mr Stevenson in the wings.

[Mr. Wonderful]

Would absolutely stroll into our midfield, would take him in a minute. I think he'll see out his days at Celtic in some capacity though.

The only reason stroll is that can't run.

He would do it as a freebie I am sure of that.

I'd hope so, at 36 years old with his playstyle, he'd be sent off after 30 minutes anyway.

Seriously. Folk need to have more ambition than Celtics 36 year old sloppy seconds just because he shows some ''pashun''

[wookie70]

I think he would easily be a first team pick at the moment but it is ever decreasing circles in terms of his career. It could work if it was for a season next year and it was to address our lack lustre displays. It might work but he never really managed to do it with a team that should have been winning the league this year so not sure he would be able to do it with us. It is a no for me as I support the plan that is to bring younger players in and grow them to sell on and lift us up another level

You were admonishing other posters for not being ‘objective’ on the Doidge thread. Time you took your own advice.

You clearly have a personal issue with Scott Brown for some reason but it doesn’t belong here.

If we were to push the boat out in terms of wages would rather we got in Graeme Shinnie ,if and I guess it is a big if ,he would come.

[SteveHFC]

If it helped us in Europe next season then yes. We need a veteran player in there who has bags of experience playing in European games.

What reason is the to sign him, though? Like, I just don't get it. He's washed up and not the type we've signed for years.

I think the main reason folk want him is because he would shout a bit and has a skin head so he looks like this magical ''leader'' type that we apparently need. I just don't get it at all. We're gonna be playing 3 games a week next season. We need young, hungry fit players. We have plenty of experience already.
