Leigh Griffiths Interview

[lucky]

Some of the comments about LG are disgusting, he’s suffered badly with mental health issues and has struggled to get his body and mind fit. Yes he’s made mistakes and has been a bit of a dick in his time. But he was a cracking player and if LJ thought he could do a job then no harm bringing him to training to have a look at what he’s got left.

The "didnt realise what age" she was excuse is pathetic.

Depends whether you believe him or not ..the girl involved apparently did

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Seems an odd contradiction that where we are saying that our club is his home, a thread that is meant to be discussing whether he has the appetite and motivation to match his talent, is more about raking over unsavoury parts of his private life. Maybe we are his worst option rather than his best.

I think you need to assess the character as well as the footballing ability of someone who has had such a fall from grace.

Same, lets see him train, lets see his hunger to get back in the game

Nothing to lose in doing that. Wouldn't take long to work out if it is a goer or not.

[Allant1981]

Even taking away the stuff in his private life i wouldnt be touching him, he has been crap for the last few years now, he done nothing at dundee and done nothing at falkirk

I've got good money on the final words spoken by man before the sun burns itself out and the last remaining life on earth is extinguished being "Leigh Griffiths could still do a job for Hibs".

How would you collect your winnings? 🤔😄

There’d be no harm in letting him train.

Replace harm with point

LJ had the chance to sign him as a free agent last summer and wasn’t interested. Since then he’s failed at Dundee and third tier Falkirk, I doubt he’d be anymore interested now.

What’s disgusting? Not wanting him at Hibs?

That’s an entirely reasonable position to take.

I'm willing to wager that's not the type of comment he's on about.

[Since452]

He's below the level we require now and carries too much baggage.

[erin go bragh]

They say you have to hit rock bottom before you start the climb back
Maybe that’s the case and it would be worth a 6 month deal with a view to extending it .

[Brightside]

This thread appears about 4 times a year. He is nowhere near good enough. Plenty lowland league teams that he can go to to prove his fitness and desire.

He needs to be playing for the Hibs, his boyhood club. He'll be all in.

this even if he got to 70% of what he was 5 years ago he would be some signing , folk not wanting to "give" him a chance to even train to see if he impresses is bizzare IMO

I would be more than happy to see him climb back up from the bottom. The first stage of that climb back should be proving he is able to perform at a League 1 level after his abysmal loan spell with Falkirk last season.

Nothing bizarre about it, he was rank for dundee and rank for falkirk, the guy is clearly not good enough any longer

[GreenGray]

Frightening the amount of people who think we should give him a shot or let him train. Why? What benefit does it bring us?

A leopard doesn’t change their spots, he’s done and everyone should move on.

Bring him into training, see what he's got to give and where his fitness is. Assess his mental state, his attitude and if he is showing all the correct signs to behave professionally, then for me it a no brainer. Offer a short term contract that favours Hibs first and Leigh second.

So its a yes from me, if all of the above is met.
But I don't make the decisions

Why? Give us one good reason why he deserves a chance to train at Hibs? There’s isn’t one.

[NC1875]

He’ll end up at Tranent or the likes.

It’s easy to say all the right things in the press when he’s looking for a contract.

When he had a very well paid contract he couldn’t be arsed to turn up for work in a fit state.

No thanks

To see if he can recapture previous form and hunger, it would be free and the club would have nothing to lose if you are right and he is finished.

If you are wrong god forbid, and he can get back to being a prolific scorer, its a win win.

It's got nothing to do with him or any player for that matter "deserving" a chance. Hibs are a business and need success on the pitch. If they feel he can supply goals and bring his experience to the squad then it will be a decision based on that alone.

Nearly a goal every two games:
I did add that its all about his attitude, commitment, and professionalism. That ain't there then Hibs pull the deal, it has to be skewed in Hibs favour. As someone has already stated sometimes you have to hit rock bottom to begin that recovery.
Even if he isn't to come to us, I for one wish him no ill and hope he can prove all the doubters wrong.
Only time will tell, whether he can or not.
Good will to all men and that

Skippy? FFS I'm not interested in the opinion of a kangaroo that often appears to be pissed when dishing out some of the information it does.

Until I hear it from Flipper's beak or directly from Lassie herself I'm not regarding this one as over.

Why do people assume he would be willing to play for free?
