I wonder if he is actually gonna sign for them. Maybe doing a Lafferty and telling Hibs he’s coming and then he’ll pop up in Spain and sign for Hearts! That would probably end their club, again.

Lost his form lately. The McInnes saga resulted in a visit to the stadium for leaking info that was false. Even though they told him the info Work that one out. As a result the info is more third hand now than 2nd hand. His contact was top notch, but not in the circle of trust any longer. He was absolutely certain however this would happen and it hasn't.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 A good signing for them. Playing for them also reduces any chance of him playing for us.

SpruceBringsteen Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 (edited) I mind folk on here salivating about how fantastic glorified field goal kicker Stevie Mallan is because he scored a quite good goal in 2009. I'd probably wait and see how Gauld performs before similarly conferring holy office upon the guy, likes.

Guest Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Outstanding player at D Utd - Jamie Walker-esque at times - but always worth remembering that Hibs failed to get promoted with Allan and then McGinn in midfield and slid further into relegation trouble and got gubbed by us in the cup final with Griffiths and OConnor scoring for fun for them. Their problem in recent years, ever since they seemingly abandoned their homegrown "conveyor belt of talent", has been creating a decent team around the one or two very good players they pick up. Lennon is trying to recreate his midfield of last season but Mallan and Gauld seem too similar, and there is no McGeogh-type, plus he has worse striker and defensive options this season. His recruitment style seems to be to splurge on a few name players - Whittaker, Commons, Stokes, Ambrose etc -and hope they carry the rest of the team, while Levein seems to try to get the best quality he can in every position plus a couple of more high profile players in key positions.

Hibs will try to play to his style but I there's a lack of similar quality around him. Allan and McGinn were able to get their confidence back in the Championship with Hibs and pushed on from there (or McGinn did). Since they got promoted they haven't signed a player who's done that. Mallan isn't having nearly the same impact. It will definitely be interesting to see if Gauld still has it and can also hit the ground running mid season here.

cocobeab Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 (edited) File this under we need to wait and see. No doubt we’d all have been excited were he signing for us and for the boys sake I do hope he does go on and fulfill potential (tho hopefully not at Easter Rd). The bigger more cynical picture however is that a huge move abroad has come to little and he’s taking a considerable step back in his career path to sign for Hubz. He joins the likes of James Collins, Ryan McGivern and Islam Feruz in arriving with a big reputation or from a big club. I’ll not lose any sleep til we see what he can actually do.

corryjambo Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 I see that in the press today he is saying that Hibs are a good fit for him due to the style of football they play. That must mean that he loves standing in midfield while the ball goes flying over his head. If he thinks they are a team that knocks it about the park on the deck then he is in for some shock in his first game as they hoof it from back to front.
