Boyle does dive , Boyle does cheat however he was what makes hibs tick , he was also a matchwinner , BM could well reach that level for us but at present we haven’t anyone who has consistently done that for us since maybe Walker in his first spell. Just because an English club doesn’t buy him does not diminish his level within Scottish football. Saying Gino is better is just idiotic at this moment in time. When Gino has spent two three years as the first name on our teamsheet maybe we can revisit that discussion…… And the Hibs love in continues, yep Boyle is a match winner alright 😂😂 Too easy.

Yes, could turn out ok I suppose. He just doesn't seem to have progressed since leaving us. Blackpool have obviously got someone better in that position which has prevented him from getting a chance.

BackOfTheNet Posted January 23, 2022 Author Share Posted January 23, 2022 Let’s not be arrogant about Mitchell. From the (albeit little) I have seen of him at Blackpool he’s changed his game, bulked up and is a more attacking player. When we played him at left back. Hibs is a place most player’s careers go to die, but I wouldn’t write Mitchell off just yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only was he awful in his second period with us he was massively disliked in the squad for his arrogance. This is exactly the type of signing we spent years going for under Levein and the reason we were awful for so long. Players who have had a short period of success in Scotland, no desire and no hunger. Hibs have signed a player from Norway who hasn’t played for his team, hardly a top European league, a player from Norwich who has never played for his team, and been loaned to 6/7 clubs in 4 years, a player from Celtic who has a handful of games over several years because his brother was a success, it’s literally what we were doing for years. Scattergun approach. Clarke has shown the desire to leave Arsenal to Ross County and has looked decent and willing to graft so he’s the only one I’d say has merit.

TheBigO Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Have to be truthful and say i liked Mitchell, incl his 2nd spell where for me injury and misuse of his abilities were the issues Hopefully he's lost any drive he ever had.

scott herbertson Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Had a long talk with a Blackpool fan I used to work with (he once got me to play for Blackpool against Rangers in the supporters club league in London at Wormwood scrubs but that's a story for another thread!) . He phoned me up just for a chat - first time I've spoken to him for a couple of years. He as quite surprised Gnando had performed so badly for us - quite rated him as slow but reasonably effective as a CF. Re Mitchell it was the usual 'can see there's a player there', was good in pre-season games but got injured and hasn't done much since. Similar to his spell with us. He did say Blackpool's current coach was the best they'd ever had and it would been hard for Mitchell to get back in. My mate has been involved in football administration (match secretary at a National League side) so would value his opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1971fozzy Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 To be fair he was not exactly used in his favoured position 2nd time round here and had Levein as his manager . Not the only one he ruined whilst being with us. He may well do very well there if used correctl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they sign Mitchell (assuming he's a LWB as he didn't look like an effective winger or wing forward to me) they'll definitely be looking to cash in on Doig. Good luck with that! If that's their strategy - bring kids through and try to sell them after one year and replace them with lower league England players on what will be a good salary - it's not a sustainable one or one fans will typically take to. Fans connect with young players and if you're always trying to pimp them out the way Hibs do fans will feel disconnected to the club, which seems to be happening at Hibs. Gordon has made a lot of missteps. Lovely to see. Edited January 23, 2022 by ToqueJambo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terrible first touch, seems to be knackered during games, poor defensively and offers very little going forward. File under Olly Shaw.

BIG ECK Posted January 23, 2022 Share Posted January 23, 2022 Mitchel is a 7 or 8 player out of 10 on his game but more often than not somewhere between a 3 and a 5. Really not fussed at all if he signs for the tramps tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
