Had a better MPG than Miovski last season.

And this is why we need to ditch the ego when it comes to signings. Lots on here would be astonished and delighted if we signed Miovski and yet it’s Murray that would likely be written off as a cheap option.

He only has a better minutes per goal than Miovski because he was playing in the League cup group stage while Miovski was playing in the European group stage.

Yep.

Simon Murray had 6 goals in 4 league cup games before Miovski/Aberdeen had even had a game.

Well, we're in the League Cup and not Europe this season so he sounds ideal!

I think we’d be better cutting out losses on him and finding a new club for him tbh, he offers very little.

Vente looked like an absolute predator in his 1st few games then Monty came in and destroyed his confidence playing him too deep. Saw enough in this initial spell to justify sticking with him. New season new manager with hopefully better players around him I'm confident he score plenty next season.

One really good season after a few ok seasons, I hope we are aiming for better

Definitely this, I'm hoping the same. I'd be happy to add Simon Murray as an option as well.

I would as well, fans being sniffy about him are out of touch with reality as to where we are as a club.

Also be nice to sign a player for once that I (and I suspect most fans) have even heard of.

Don't think folk are really being sniffy. It's just that he's 32 and last season was realistically his only good season in the top flight. A bit like Van Veen, had one good season.

Stats (and I know it doesn't work like that) would suggest he's more likely to have a **** season next than another class one like he did this year, he scored 2 goals in 14 games in 22/23 season for example.

While they're totally different footballers Simon Murray reminds me of Pat McGinlay in these respects:

Both are late developers
With great attitudes
They've improved as the years went on
And likely to sustain a good level
Because they know & appreciate how hard they worked to get there & how short the glory days career is

I'd sign him

He brings an incredible work ethic and doesn’t give defenders a moment’s peace. Simon woukd be a good addition to the squad. Brings a different option

[truehibernian]

He’d be a fantastic addition, energy and drive and goals. We need a physical presence up top too though, too often Vente drops deep and that’s not his game - he needs a foul up top and staying in and around that opposition penalty box where he’s effective.

Is there any rumours about Simon Murray or is this just a wish list?

Daily record sport page saying we're after him . Would be a good addition to the squad and every chance he could play his way into an automatic starter.

[CentreForward]

Several media outlets running with the story now Record, Sun, Herald etc. Please make it happen Hibs! think would be an excellent signing and no reason why he couldn’t actually be a fairly regular starter!

[PH91]

We already know all about Murray from the last time he was here. Works hard and is pacy but technically poor. Not useful in a team which has lots of the ball and trying to break down a deep, stubborn defence.

I wouldn't be against him coming in as a cheap squad player but it would have to be on that basis. I think he will be offered more money and more playing time elsewhere.

The current Simon Murray is double the player he was when he was here first time. His first touch is absolutely fine, his work rate is immense and it’s an insult to him to even suggest that no matter how he performs he is being brought in a a squad filler. He would be a massive improvement on the strikers we currently have available.

Most of us would like tried and trusted players to come in - I’m just not sure how you get much better than SM based on his form last season. We absolutely got run ragged by the guy the last time he was an opponent.
