Not really. We could negotioate a bigger one and a higher future fee.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
This isn't the 50s anymore, though, the odds of a player breaking a leg and never playing against are very slim. 99% come back fit and strong.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
The best option by miles is for Hibs to use him and sell at his highest point of value.

Okay there's an argument for keeping him longer and getting more money down the line but it's about getting the right balance of when to let them go, so based on it being the right time for them to go, I think it would be good to have 1 or 2 players on this model on an ongoing basis. You don't want to have too many because you don't want to block the next ones coming through. If we can get a deal for Doig like this then it'll make us a very attractive place for other youngsters to come. Arguably a better and faster route to success than in the Celtic and Rangers youth set up.

I'm not saying you're wrong but it is about getting balance right of when is the right time to sell and when is the right time to keep hold of a player. There are ifs, buts and maybes with every transaction. Some we'll get right and some we won't.Last edited by 007; 10-04-2021 at 10:59 AM.

I wonder if Scholsey on loan at Stenny has a chance next season at Hibs, if Doig was to move on
Very much in the Lewis Stevenson mould, both in physique and playing style

Maybe it’s now as he has so long on his contract?
Maybe it’s in a few years time when he’s established himself in the Scotland squad and has played in Europe a dozen times? But now he’s in the last year of his contract, so how much effect does that have?
As RG said, it’s a tricky balancing act. We don’t want to hamper his progress but we also want to stay competitive and get a good deal.
So maybe a sale and loan back is a compromise the club would consider or even encourage?
I wouldn’t just dismiss it as rubbish anyways.

The SJM transfer to Villa has raised our profile imho and how we developed a young player! Others will see this and will be constantly monitoring us. The 2 young lads in the development squad moving south having not kicked a ball speaks volumes too.
You may also find that teams are also willing to do business with us when we are looking at their players!

He was deemed one our best prospects a year or two ago, but the lack of football for these players hasn’t helped. He’s still only 19, so got time on his side
Be interesting to see where he plays his football next season

I'd hope Hibs would try their utmost to hang onto the lad for at least another season..and don't sell to the Old Firm please!!

I don't rate him as highly as some so if we can get a good price, sell him.

He will move for a good price and I hope he goes on to have a great career.

Just heard Gerrard signing Doigs praises after the game. He thought Doig against Patterson was a great battle and both could go to the very top.
I see Tierney has been ruled out for the rest of the season, I wonder if Doig could squeeze into the Scotland squad?

I agree it’s unlikely he’ll get in, I just wonder if there’s an outside chance if there’s many more injuries or if he wants to bring some young players for their experience like we’ve done in the past.
Fwiw I think he’ll have jumped ahead of Hickey in the queue now.

Another decent performance from Doig today. He struggles to do a full 90 mins for me and his positioning is still a bit suspect but both of those issues are improving week on week and it won't be long before he is a very good player at this level. he is a mile away from a Scotland call up and might have to move more centrally given the two who are ahead of him.

I wouldnt rush Doig into the national squad yet. A year with the u21s will be great for him.

We seem to have decent young players who do alright uo tk under 21 level, they then disappear for a while and start getting called again at 26/27 years old.
There’s obviously exceptions to that but we rarely seem to have a really exciting youngster breaking through into the first team from a very young age.
