What's the latest with Youan?

[SickBoy32]

The guy makes Kamberi look like a model pro.

Take whatever cash we can get and give it to Killie to get Armstrong in. A hard working, effective player with a good attitude 👍

Nonsense.

Youan has a very good attitude and is a dedicated trainer, he's very well liked by our manager, who only has praise for him.....next

How much more effective has Armstrong been this season as a matter of interest?

Youan, 13 games / 2 goals / 1 assist

Armstrong, 21 games / 0 goals / 5 assists

Youan has wanted out of the club for a long time, about time we set this ‘mercurial talent’ free.

Let’s get a united and committed squad who will fight for the badge. Not guys who mince about the place pretending to be injured.

This is the kind of thing that happens when you pretend that all opinions are equally valid. Its a societal problem.

Hibs rejected an offer but braced for more transfer interest. And, for all you conspircay theorists, Elie is expected to be back in action next week!

[HIBS NUTS]

Whatever the injury situation is now, I’m sceptical, but Blackburn have put in a bid, so hibs aren’t going to risk him at the moment.
We will obviously get decent money, this is probably the domino, that needs to fall, for us to make decent bids on other players.

Maybe you’re right about 5 assists . I did see somewhere it was 4 .. anyhow wither it’s 4/5 he’s played more games than Youan who i think has two goals and one assists in 13 games. I don’t see Armstrong as much of a improvement in fact I think Youan is a more exciting player to watch ..

As to Youan not being committed or fighting for the badge the last time he got injured was trying to win a ball our manager said he probably didn’t have too …

I’m also not buying into the Youan’s faking injury especially after Gray has mentioned he has had a setback and had an injection and should be available next week , wither he is here next week or not is impossible to say as most clubs better players are normally wanted during a transfer window and Youan is certainly one of ours who won’t be easily replaced either IMO .

How do you know what he thinks?

Despite every ‘fact’ getting set straight he constantly gets questioned on his attitude. What’s behind it? Because everyone that works with him says how great an attitude he has and how hard he’d works.

Pretty much all of his apparent personality has been constructed by nonsense statements on here.

His constant failures to track back / obey instructions when Montgomery played him as almost a wing back, cost us last season.

FWIW i like him and when on form he's great for us.

Monty playing him in wing back style position shows why he is no longer in the job. Youan needs to play through the middle; playing "split strikers" with him and Boyle works well.

Hopefully keep him until the summer.

🤔 back for next week. Just as the window closes or just as he’s signed for his new team.

£800k according to... Hibs Central. That was the rejected bid apparently.

THIS! David Gray is already showing his managerial prowess in fitting round pegs into round holes. Elie was no more suited to play a deep-lying wingback that I was, but Monty was fixated on pedestrian wing play.

In my ST seat high up in the East (which I haven't sat in for 15 years) it gave me the boak to see Elie wasted running the white line, 40 yards from the opposition goalie. Playing a 2-footed attacker with a powerful shot in and around the penalty box isn't exactly rocket science but Gray deserves credit for positioning Youan and Boyle where they can hurt opposition teams the most.

It's hardly surprising therefore that Elie is happier at Hibs playing for a Head Coach who actually knows what he is doing.

If Blackburn are only looking at signing a winger, they are shopping in the wrong store IMO.

[Donegal Hibby]

Elie got back on grass early last week but still wasn’t right , said Gray . “ so it’s been scanned , it’s been X-rayed and then the next plan of action was to get an injection. So everything’s ok , no break showed up on the scans , it’s just a bit of a chronic thing . Unfortunately it takes 3 to 5 days to settle in for the healing process which isn’t ideal because it’s pushed him back a week … 30th Jan .

There’s more conspiracy theories about Elie’s big toe than who shot JFK 😂

We’ve found a system that has worked but Gray has also played Youan out wide just as much. If he leaves, he’ll still play out wide at least as much as he plays through the middle. He can and has played well in either position.

I dare say he does have some kind of toe issue however I don't believe for a second he's been unfit to play since Tynie. Him and the club will be wanting him injury free so he can move on if a bid comes in. Just my take. If he dosent go by Monday will be back in the squad for Ayr

I don’t buy the bit about the club not wanting to play him. Players move all the time and continue to play until such time as a deal is close or done. I’m still not convinced his toe is that sore, but given how stretched our squad has been I don’t think the club would just sit him out.

What a ridiculous thing to suggest though. What has Youan ever done to suggest to you he is a liar?

You think the club are going to the bother and costs of multiple medical visits, scans and now an injection for someone pretending to have a sore toe?

I don't know what people's motivations are for what they believe about Youan but it is ridiculous.

This Season

On the wing: Played 5. 0 goals, 0 assists. Team 5pts. At that point Youan was getting continually slaughtered for his lack of defending. Something he is particularly unsuited to doing.

Striker: Played 7. 2 goals, 1 assist. Team 13pts

Gray switching Elie to striker has been one of the most important factors in our revival. And since his injury, one of the reasons for some matches being dull.

Blackburn Head Coach John Eustace was a favourite player under Malky Mackay at Watford. Mackay was always effusive in praise of Eustace and promoted him to club captain.

It’s fairly common knowledge injury scuppered his chances of a move in January. I don’t think it’s stretching it to suggest that he might be protecting himself against that happening again.

You seem to get pretty worked up about people having a differing view on this type of thing. There isn’t any motivation for what I think either, I’d much rather he was just on the park doing what he can.

Not going to go back in forward on it with you anymore. You think what you think and I (and others) will continue to think what we do.

He wants to leave.

He wanted to leave in the summer then got injured which scuppered that chance.

I don’t doubt he’s hurt his toe but there’s every chance that he’s milking it until the window closes to avoid a repeat of the summer and a failed move.

You don’t know that he isn’t, just like I don’t know for sure that he is.

Opinions. People are allowed different ones from yourself.

Only Youan knows the answer.

Whereas almost all of his 20 goals and assists last season came from out wide.

He did well for the month or so he was playing up front but I don’t think he made some kind of huge irreplaceable contribution playing there.

Point is I think he can be effective both up front and wide. Very few teams play with two up top and I don’t think anyone would have him as an out and out number 9 unless they are. So if he leaves, I think most teams would see him play wide more often.

800k is not nearly enough and glad hibs have rejected the offer.

Keeping him until summer could be very beneficial in getting 3rd. So would need to be a good offer for him to go, selling him in the summer makes more sense... unless someone offers over and above
