I know Leigh is a home bunny and missed his kids terribly when he was down at Wolves, hence why I think he'll want to stay up here and not go south again.

As it is starting to look like we’ll not be back in in full start of next season either I’ve got to say I’m now on the cusp of toiling to justify renewing if we won’t be there again.
Something like signing LG could be the difference when it comes to going for it or not. I’d imagine a lot of others will also be having to make decisions like mine. Signing LG could push a lot of folk in the right direction.

Took this from the Kerrydale Street page with over 230+ pages
This guy has a wee bit off a brain.
But reading it it kinda makes me think that Leigh is playing a great game of “I’m a Hibs supporter get me out of here”
Bring him home RON please
I read a twitter thread the other day regarding recruitment at Hearts. Don't remember the ins and outs but the main point was that for years players of a certain age and calibre (30+, rapidly declining) at every level have been able to demand big money from clubs as their careers begin to wind down.
The argument was that if scouting is carried out correctly - you can usually get a young player to perform at a similar or better level than the 'veteran' player, for far less money (since they don't have the experience). The argument in the case of Hearts is that they're currently paying Craig Gordon, Naismith, GMS, Berra etc £3k-£4k+ per week in the second tier and are not getting good outputs from any of them, except maybe Gordon.
With Griffiths arguably in the same bracket with us as those players are with Hearts, are we really saying we can't, for £18k p/w or less, find a young, hungry player, who can contribute at the very least what Griffiths has recently? Considering Kilmala has probably been of more use to us in his time here than Griffiths has, and that is saying something. I'm not saying we're going to find the striking equivalent of Wanyama at bargain basement prices, as that's been a failed policy of ours for years. But you'll definitely find someone at this price point who's able to at least match the output of Griffiths of late; which is the point being made in the original tweet regarding the Hearts players.
Leigh has talent but his lack of professionalism and work eithic, possibly compounded by other issues, have meant we haven't seen it in a long time and it doesn't look to be coming back with him now on the wrong side of 30. Time to move on and as others have said before me, let him become someone else's problem.

Rather than chuck loads to money at him, I'd far prefer we tried to keep Nesbit for another couple of years, but even that wouldn't generate new season ticket sales.
I'm considering getting one this year but LG signing wouldn't push me either way. However, qualification for a European group stage and/or winning the Cup probably would.Last edited by Hibbyradge; 20-04-2021 at 08:00 AM.

When he gets on the pitch, which he’s been available to do most of the season but Celtic don’t bother using him, he delivers.
Slightly more goals per minute than Edouard and miles more than Morelos.

Unfortunately, for one reason or another, we'll never know for sure.

Having read half a dozen pages of the Leigh thread on Kerrydale St, the recurring theme is ; Leigh GTF.
Most are saying he is unprofessional, unfit, overweight and lacking commitment to anything but his own shoddy lifestyle. A few cite extenuating factors associated with his mental health issues, but they are roundly dismissed.

I'll take the guy who played 118 games, vs the guy who played 72 games.
Kevin is the young, hungrier, better option. Fired us to 3rd and we should be keeping him.

I suspect he'll go in the summer, regardless of Leigh being available. And it won't be Hibs desperate to sell him.

On the presumption we’d be signing him to be playing him and not treating as he has been the past two years at Celtic, the evidence of LG on a football pitch would suggest he’d still score a barrel load.

He’s apparently unfit yet he’s tucking goals away at a rate better than anyone else in the league when he’s on the pitch.
Could we get better? Imo no, we couldn’t. A player who has scored the goals he has over his career, is still scoring at a very good rate and is available to play most weeks. He’s better than any other striker we could get imo.

Most tickets are sold a long way before the business end of transfer windows anyway.

No one in their right mind can deny that signing Griffiths comes with risk. He has managed c 100 games in the past 5 seasons, for whatever reason. It’s not just about his relationship withLennon, which no one on here really knows about. Yes, he has a good scoring/minutes ratio ( obviously playing for a team like Celtic helps this, compared to opportunities at one like Hibs).
Celtic fans seem to think he’s unfit and has a lifestyle that is less than professional. That troubles me.
