JamboAndrew Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Always though Jones was a bit if a luxury player. Didn't score or create too many, but always was good for some clips on the highlights. And I think his wages woukd be well I flated after milking the orcs for a year or however long he got out of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another Champions League as well and Celtic kicked out for corruption and The Rangers go bust for the 8th time. The one thing I miss with Hibs in the lowest tier of Scottish football are the regular victories but stuffing them 10 nil on our way to another Scottish Cup victory was enjoyable. I see that Doncaster has been turned down for parole again but you can't help think things could have been so much better if it hadn't been for Levein. 2058 surely Colin ?

I’ve heard nothing about Jones on or off the park that makes me want him anywhere near Hearts. This. Three complete Neds who are vastly overrated. All three are professional victims who I never wish to see playing in maroon. We need winners not losers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was set to go to the States to join the league a level below the MLS until they stepped in. Always bothered me McGinn signing for Hibs. He stood out like a sore thumb at St Mirren and clearly had vast potential to develop into a good player yet we never approached him as a free agent. In fact Hibs were the only team to do so. Fans of opposition fans were all calling for their respective club to sign him. It was possibly the 250k compensation fee that dissuaded clubs from signing McGinn.

JamboAl Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 9 hours ago, TWF said: Levein had the opportunity to buy Milinkovic for free and give him one of his 3/4 year contracts. CL considered that to be in breach of his budget. Instead went out and acquired a few freebies such as Damour and Washington, gave them 3/4 year contracts and cumulatively paid out more in wages than he was prepared to with Milinkovic. That was a waste of resources Eh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davie1980 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 This thread is funny. The lad was a good player at Killie, good enough to get a big move and people think he wouldn't run riot in the championship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would rather waste money on nobodies than sign promising potential. Hopefully that'll change now that Levein has gone. McGinn was a stand out for St Mirren and Hearts should've got in there at the time. I also remember Steve Mallan at St Mirren, an attacking threat from midfeld who was one of their best goal-scorers in a pitiful St Mirren team. Pretty decent free kick threat as well. At Kilmarnock i was always impressed by the way Clarke got the best out of his players. Jones, Brophy, O'Donnell, who we'll no doubt lose out on as he's available, their left-back Taylor (an area we have struggled with for years!) will ruin his career sitting on the Celtic subs bench, Power in midfield and also when they had Greg Stuart on loan. Any one of them would've improved Hearts no end. Also liked Greg Docherty at Hamilton before one half of the old squirm ruined him. I would not be surprised if Jones or O'Donnell for example end up where promising players usually end up, Hibs or Aberdeen.

Iirc Hearts spoke to St.Mirren at the time, and Neilson said we couldn't justify paying the sum that St. Mirren quoted for someone unproven, and that was that Hibs swooped.
