    Yep.
    Not very inclusive is it?

    You could say it discourages similar users who have been registered for years and years who post sporadically from even posting.

    If you took the time to read what I posted, you'll see that I said that "I'm not saying it's right".

    Give me peace now please.

    It would be a blow of Leigh ends up at Aberdeen . I wonder if JR will fancy him though . Not been disciplined in recent times , and not a role model for younger players . Would have significant risk attached to such a large investment.

    No doubt, if his mind is right though, he would be a 20 goal plus a season player for any team
    In our league ..match winner type.

    Hibs are his home. Like you say, he'd score 20+ goals a season. Its a no brainer.

    If he ends up at Aberdeen you'd begin to wonder why we weren't all in for both Scott Brown and Leigh Griffiths. They are game changers for a whole club outside the Old Firm.

    Maybe the original poster could have bothered to find out how to spell the name of one of the highest profile players to play at Ester Rod in the past ten years?

    Of course you’re going to get ripped when you do that, why wouldn’t you?

    A no brainer.....right enough.

    You’re at it, clear as day. Anything positive to say about Hibs...ever?

    I'm at it? Deary me.

    Why wouldn't we sign a proven 20+ goal a season striker? Explain that to me.

    it is a valid topic for here. Let’s focus on the topic rather than being negative to the OP.

    Griffiths going to Aberdeen would be a real blow. Yet, I can see why there would be a possible reluctance to invest in him. In the right mindset, he is a no brainier ..if he doesn’t fancy it , would be a huge investment with little return

    He's the type of striker who doesn't need 20 games to get 20+ goals.

    I think that is getting to heart of the issue - would we get the reliable LG or not ? If we would - it is a massive signing .

    If not , a disaster ...

    He doesn’t come without risk though ..I’m sure you can acknowledge that ..not sure he would even know what LG we would be getting ...

    Yeah, absolutely a risk. It would either work spectacularly or fail spectacularly.

    I do think it would be worth the risk though.

    You never know, he might flourish under our manager.

    I still highly doubt either us or Aberdeen could afford him unless he’s being let go for free/a massively reduced fee and is willing to take a huge pay cut or Celtc are picking up most of his wage in a loan deal.

    So not quite a no brainer then.

    So it has gone from a no brainier that would have you asking serious questions if we didn’t do it to a potential spectacular failure?

    I would love LG to sign but you say he’d sign 20+ goals a season yet in a better team and in a team with Scott Brown he’s scored 6 goals this season??

    You keep banging on about Scott Brown being a changer etc but he’s been very poor this season and on the downward spiral in respect of his career!

    As for LG. If he chooses to go to Aberdeen over Hibs (if we did go in for him) then so be it. I’d be a tad disappointed but not gutted.

    My second sentence did just that!!

    That you think some of us would read a Griffiths to Aberdeen rumour as somehow being a negative on Hibs is crazy.

    You look for the tiniest slight on Hibs at every opportunity to lambast fellow Hibs fans. It sucks.

    The OP posted something he heard, so what? Why should that be suspicious? It's not to most of us.

    I don't see why he would have to be a spectacular success or a spectacular fail? There is every chance he could just have a decent season or two

    Leigh was only ever on loan with us before. I have long dreamed of him having a Hibs contract, with the hope that coming home would motivate him.

    It will be a great shame if he ends up somewhere else imo.

    Behave.

    I explained why some people are suspicious of certain posts and posters. I also stated it wasn't necessarily "right".

    IMO the majority on here would see Leigh signing for Aberdeen and not us as a negative. You have the right to think otherwise and I have the right to disagree.

    As for me looking for "the tiniest slight on Hibs at every opportunity to lambast fellow Hibs fans", I'm sorry but you're talking nonsense.

    I'm honestly offended by what you're saying. If anything it's your post that sucks.

    Every Hibs fan likes the idea of Leigh returning, it’s a given. However, it would take a significant investment and that would represent a huge gamble, that’s also a given. In the current financial circumstances I struggle to imagine Hibs buying in to that.

    Griffiths is under contract for another season. Celtc will have a new manager and he will no doubt want to see what Leigh can do. I’m sure Leigh himself would prefer to be at Celtic and carry on earning the money, which is going to be a hell of a lot more than he will get anywhere else. He’s close to the end of his career, He’ll not be going anywhere, anytime soon.

    He might if he's fit then again he might not, he might be up for it he might not...Nothing guaranteed and a hell of a gamble in terms of probably cash outlay.

    I thought our strategy was to bring in young talent that we can nurture get a couple of good years out of then sell for a profit ready to reinvest. We might bring in the odd older one as emergency cover but thats about it.

    I think he’ll want to try to prove himself under the new manager at Celtic and I reckon a new manager would look at his record, look at his goals against England and say ok Leigh, show me what you can do. I don’t think he’ll go anywhere until his contract is done at Celtic.

    Yeah good post, I think it's the frustration of Aberdeen nipping in ahead ahead of us with signings and now potentially having both Scott Brown and Leigh Griffiths which if works for them could be great for them.
