    Don’t think it is. Would have to be back to Swindon.
    Wouldn't be surprised if this happens

    I think Hibs signed McKirdy off the back of a rumour we were after him and the reaction of Hibs fans on social media saying he’d be a good signing
    You think a successful businessman only authorized the signing because Hibs.net approved? Seriously?

    Yes but a more realistic one.
    I wouldn't say that.
    No way are they giving their top scorer and Div 2 team of the year striker away for your £100k guess.
    Less than £200k is fantasy.

    Agree with this 100%, McKirdy not done a single thing that has made me think oh he’s a player, whereas Youhan showed early on when he laid on the equaliser in the derby for Boyle that he had something about him, McKirdy just runs about a lot.
    Interesting! When I watched the good teams at the World Cup, I was impressed by the movement of the players without the ball. The forward and wide players were running about a lot into space, giving the midfielders options. When I watch Hibs, I often note the lack of players running into space.

    Maybe McKirdy just needs better quality midfielders who can play the pass to him when he runs about a lot

    Indeed. He did it because the wine salesman supported it !!

    Martin Boyle & Kevin Nisbet both scored within 16 minutes of their comebacks playing with those midfielders

    But they're good players

    McKirdy really isn't

    This for me, we need to give him a decent run, the lad needs some decent service and a few chances to score, something I dont think hes really had yet.
    Nisbet score a HT last weekend, all 3 coming from decent service into the box, something Mckirdy hasnt seen yet.

    I've seen McKirdy miss two chances directly in front of goal with only the keeper to beat. The first one he skied it over the bar and the second he hit it straight at the keeper.

    Not sure you can put those down to a lack of service or game-time.

    Nisbet missed a header in front of goal against Celtic and wide shot against Hearts. McKirdy deserves more time imo.

    None of these huddies will make the grade either

    Aye but nisbet has also scored 5 in 5. You can miss chances when you do that, not so much when you offer next to nothing.

    At the risk of repeating myself, where’s the more time coming from? It pretty much has to mean removing one of our best players, all of whom are in semi decent form, to give him a go.

    He’s not managed to get game time with Boyle Nisbet and mcgeady all out he’s absolutely no chance with 2/3 fit again IMO Johnson was picking youan ahead of him before he found a bit of form as well, I don’t think he’s done enough, I beleive LJ must have wanted him here I just think the guys failed to take the step up

  17. #136
    Maybe he has but think 6 months is far to quickly for either side to want to get rid. Let him settle get fully fit ans see what we have. If he ain't good enough this time next year then we can let him go. We have to stop writing players off before they even get a chance

    I genuinely don’t know how McKirdy has made it as a professional footballer. Frightening.

    We need to cut our losses, likely in the summer and move on.

    Every game McKirdys started he's been having to either drop back deep to try to get the ball or chasing it between the other teams centre half's because there's either nobody on our team capable of playing a decent ball through. Put him up front with Nisbet and McGeady and he'll score goals. Don't forget there's a high chance Nisbet will be away in the summer so dumping him now is crazy. I can think of many players in the current squad including so called established players I'd get shot of before him.

    Genuine question and not a dig at McKirdy, but who is the last player we signed from League 2 that’s gone on to be a real standout for us?

    I’m guessing there’s a few but none spring to mind really.

    By being good enough to be a professional? Boy scored 20+ goals in league 2 last season. What a daft thing to say.

    He’s a bit of a radge, meant to be a good finisher, poacher and floats in and out of games…..I’d rather have Jason Cummings

    I'd rather give, or see for that matter Melkerson given a chance through the middle if anyone was getting a run of 10 games.

    I’ve seen nothing to convince me that he is capable of playing football at a professional level. It’s my viewpoint, clearly not yours.

    As BILLYHIBS said - David Gray.

    Did he do anything to standout for you?

    Sounds bizarre but wouldn't surprise me. He listened to the loud minority and punted Jack Ross and replaced him with a Cathroesqe rookie. I'm not sure he has a clue about football to be honest.
