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.
