Vlad the impaler Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Really not fussed either way for Nesbit as feel we’re well covered in the striker department. The positive if true that we went in late for him though is that there’s clearly money to spend on the right player. Hopefully creative midfielder 🤞🏼 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neilnunb Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 A 4 year deal seems quite long for someone totally untested in the top league. Good luck to the guy but can't say I'm overly fussed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamboinglasgow Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 This tweet from a St Johnstone fan account about Drey Wright made me laugh Reading the comments from Saints fans below it (with a pinch of salt as fans rarely are complementary of a player moving to a rival) they think he showed early promise but never really delivered. Plus players mvoing from St Johnstone to Hibs rarely work out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rory78 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Im sure all the kids Hibs have released will be happy to see their futures at that club sacrificed to bring in a blob from Dunfermline - I'd expect the Hibs first team guys will be asking why they're being asked to take big wage cuts while the club are spunking money out £250k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hibs will be feeling good the now 10000 plus season tcks sold, new players being signed and their bitter rivals been voted out the top league. This feel good factor they have right now could go to pot in 1 week. If we win this case you watch them muppets going berserk and claiming the system is corrupt bla bla bla. Even better if we get reinstated a lot of them have voiced that they will give back the season tickets. Of course a lot of fans have paid in full but thousands have taken to finance option of paying up. They could be spending money relying on their fans keeping their season tickets.

Jamhammer Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 50 minutes ago, The Old Tolbooth said: I work with a Raith Rovers fan who's pretty well in with the club, he told me they couldn't wait to get rid of Nisbet because of his appalling Billy big baws attitude, he's said to me this morning that the lad has talent, but he'll be another Riordan/O'Connor esque type of player with a severe lack of class about him, so should fit in well. Also, I wonder what the 70 odd people or so who were made redundant by Hibs are thinking about them spending money on players now? Where's the outrage in the press about it? If that was Hearts, it would be a major story! They get it so easy from the press that it's embarrassing, although I believe that they're close to selling Boyle as well, but that cash should really be paying the deferred wages etc. To be honest I don't know the first thing about him so I'm not going to greet because he hasn't signed. For me, if you have the option of signing for Hearts and Hibs and you choose Hibs then hell mend you. Obvious lack of ambition right there. Not like them to sign a "Billy big baws" either. Look forward to him running from cops, crashing his car or being banned from every boozer in the town. Next. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Effectively saying I'm here for a move to Celtic. Embarrassing. With us refusing it, why the hell would Hibs agree to it? Better wages plus being 1st or 2nd choice surely means they are beating the offer comfortably already? Just as a side note, I wonder if we could do similar to Liverpool the next time we get a bid from the OF for a player, agree the deal contingent on them agreeing a 'penalty' fee for coming in for our players again for a set period of time, e.g. 5 years.
