McPake would be a decent signing, but he was a stand-out in what was a very, VERY poor Hibs side. I'm not yet convinced that he merits a 3 year deal on 3k per week, especially when you factor in the injury problems he's had.

While i'd still like him to sign, i too am a little worried about his fitness.

[Franck Stanton]

Whilst £3000 per week is a lot of money to most working people, it isn't to an awful lot of footballers plying their trade in the lower echelons of England, [ by that I mean, Chamionship, 1st and 2nd divisions], and I am sure McPake would easily get a club there. We as a Club and support have seen exactly what he brings to the table and , IMO he is a snip at £3000 per week and 3 years contract. After all, we have had our fair share of huddies in his position earning, what £1,500 - £2000 per game, better to have a proven leader like McPake. Wish we had 11 players of same quality and commitment.

[SRHibs]

I'm not convinced. I know this is a suggestion that's mooted and rarely implemented, but a low weekly wage with a higher appearance fee would be ideal, in order to cover ourselves in the event that his back problems reoccur.

Why are we arguing about imaginary figures?

Football manager has a lot to answer for.

[Iceman1875]

Hardly imaginary....£3k per week won't be far off the mark for Mcpake. I have NO concerns about hibs signing Mcpake on £3k per week for 3 years, give him a 6 year contract!!! ;)

Imaginary in the sense that people are imagining that they know what has been offered or what he wants.

Then arguing about it or using it to have a go at Hibs again!

His back injury will always recur, it did when with us and will do so every season.

Not according to the man himself. His injury at hibs was his groin injury which was evident at many of the matches when he was constantly stretching it. If he can play as well as he did with this then a fully fit McPake is worth 3k a week.

It was his groin at the end of the season, I have no qualm with that.

However he was struggling with his back at Tynecastle. After the match he was booked in to a London clinic for an injection which means he couldn't play at home to Dundee Utd a few days later but returned for the match at ICT.

You'll not get through to them. 3k a week and a 3 year deal have long since been adopted as Gospel alongside Riordan's 20k a week China wage.

Comedy central this place at times.

Dusan Pernis ex Dundee United keeper has knocked back an offer from Hibs.

Do we share a scouting team with the Sheep or something!?

[LancsHibs]

The boy Moore from Crewe would be a great signing I hope there is something in this one, would be disappointed if he went to Aberdeen. Come on Petrie get it sorted

Similar size club, similar ambitions and similar budgets, its inevitable we'll be targeting the same players, wonder if this means there move for Hayes is in doubt then.

[LancsHibs]

What about taking a punt on David James?? Looking for a new club, apparently wants to carry on playing. Is still more than good enough for SPL IMO and would be great for our young keepers. BTW before anybody asks he's 41 (Budgie was 40 when signed by us)

We can't even afford to sign most of the SPL players we covet. No chance of us offering James more than everyone else.

Would be a great signing, IMO. Seen him in the play offs and he's exactly what we've been crying out for. Pace, width, direct and good on the ball.

Probably end up at a championship team, but if there's a chance we should certainly make an offer.

Left pompey to be closer to his family who live in Exeter. No chance.

I Dont agree we can afford to pay top coinn but Petrie the misor wont, we need things to change or we will end up with dross again. Hopefully the Big meeting will sort things out we need some good news and a few quality signings would be great.
If it means paying more than we have in the past then so be it.

Just because you want us to pay 'top coin' doesn't mean that we can afford to do it. Maybe you didnt notice how low crowds were last season. Less money in means less to go out. Unless you know different of course.

Good to see us being linked with the likes of Pernis as he is proven SPL quality and that is what we need. Not players who don't know the league or reserve players from England who don't even know competitive football. Getting some of these types in is fine to supplement the squad but this pre-season has to be about establishing a spine for the team to take us forward for the next couple of years, players who will play in the first 11 and we need a good few proven quality players who can come in and hit the ground running.

Let's hope the club shop don't run out of "r"s....

The Big Meeting? Were they doing a whip round?

[Billychaotic182]

The boy Moore looked very good in the play offs hope there is some truth in this one

[ForeverGreen]

I'd like us to get Moore and another winger, one thing we've missed for about the last 2/3 seasons is some genuine width in our team.

Will this be the week we start to see a rebuild job? Kind of resigned myself to it being the usual last minute rush after initially being optimistic that there would be a big clear out and a whole new squad being build and quickly

Hibs rumours throwing some mad stuff on about McFadden on a pay as you play deal.

Cannae see it myself

McFadden is not the player he used to be IMO but would still be happy if he signed for us. Cant see it happening though TBH.
