Say What Again Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 On loan from Brentford for the rest of the season. Looks a decent addition for them, as he scored goals for fun for Falkirk. Not a bad selection of attacking options they have at Tannadice (EDIT: didn't realise Goodwillie was returning to Blackburn, so it's more of a one out, one in) http://www.bbc.co.uk...otball/25661324 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
:shitwine: Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 Goodwillie was in poor condition, so no surprise that he's gone. El Alagui had an excellent record at Falkirk, so this could be an excellent deal for United. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spencer Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 This is probably the type of player we would do well to have on board next season.

He's just gone on loan to Dundee United, if he does reasonably well there I'd imagine they'll look to take him on for next season. Therefore, we've no chance.

Del1812 Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 He was great at Falkirk but Dundee United fans really didn't like the look of him.

Gershwin Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I'd heard we were in for him at one point but I'm guessing Sow is seen as a better option. But I wouldn't be surprised if he was getting more than we offered at Hibs either. They need to sign some players quick so they're probably chucking cash at him in their usual cackhanded way.

bighusref Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 I bet that Alan Stubbs watched him closely for Dundee United and Falkirk. either that or working with the youngsters at Everton he paid close attention to a 28 year old playing 23 games in two years for Brentford.

Locky Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Had a great record at Falkirk but not hitting the ground running at Brentford and subsequently being dropped took the shine off him a bit. Maybe that's why he wasn't a massive scorer for United last season or maybe he just wasn't quite a top flight striker? Either way it's a good move for both parties if he joins Hibs although of course I hope not. According to his Wikipedia he was training with us. Was it El Alagui that was a keeper until he turned pro? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going by Hibs past signing record they do not have a scobie on what player presents a "best option". I have never seen this guy play but going by the performance of Sow at the weekend and comments made by Robbie I will be happy to accept that he is OUR best option.

Snake Plissken Posted July 14, 2014 Share Posted July 14, 2014 Journeyman. Might get a few goals in the Championship but they're miles behind us right now and time's running out rapidly. Our guys have been together for a few weeks now, anyone they bring in now is going to have less than four weeks to gel with the squad. Early games against us and Rangers will not bode well for them.

Saying that I'll be delighted if he's a much better signing. So a player isn't signed for a team due to a change in management, this means he's not good enough and not OUR best option. Or it could be that due to the management upheaval things went quiet on a deal so the player decided to look else where. Or the manager of the club that didn't sign him is clueless and would prefer to go with a name that the fans know. Or hibs are crap and when stubbs had a look at him he didn't 'fit in' with what they had or wanted. Which ever one it was, the lad put a shift in for us and OUR management seem keen BUT are willing to hold off if the deal isn't right for them. Sounds like good business sense to me, and we end up with the players we want at the price we are willing to pay. Hate this, if hibs looked at him and didn"t take him then he's not good enough for us. Pish, if our coaches think he's good enough then more full hibs for having the option and screwing up.

Your looking far too much into this mate. If Sow signs after impressing on trial then I'm happy enough, he may or may not be better than the Falkirk player. What I said is hibs had first dabs on Sow, hasn't signed him and went for the Falkirk guy instead which makes him their preffered option. Rightly or wrongly. Your getting far too worked up over nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
