Bojang Mackay Tait Bradley Hague Doidge Fish Miller Stevenson JDH Tavares Henderson Mitchell McGeady Mckirdy 🤣 Doidge at points was an ok lump up front probably their best centre forward but even he has got out of there and is on loan to killie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s evidently knuckled down since, he still looks a darn sight bigger than most of our team, but I put that down to the fitness regimes down south. They do things differently, most who come up look bigger and stronger. Shoulders and upper body of a light middle weight boxer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of them complete gambles with the hope they unearth a gem. A bit like our previous transfer strategy.

Edit* Didn't meant to reply to this post 🤦♂️ So they say, but funny how Tavares is now a project, when there was a big fanfare about giving him the number 10 jersey. Duk at Aberdeen and Tavares both played for Benfica B last season by the way. Hibs signed the shit one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost like a free shot, can't look lose if you just claim it's a project player when they turn out crap. I was actually chatting to a taxi driver on holiday in Portugal in the summer and he was a massive Benfica fan so I asked about Tavares and he said he was nowhere near good enough. He didn't know anything about Duk though hadn't seen him play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought their scatter gun recruitment was similar to ours of previous years and so it's now coming to fruition. They look poor all over the pitch and you take Boyle out the side and they have nothing to worry you about. As for Snodgrass, I think he looks bigger due to playing down south where you need to be strong and bigger built. He's a wand of a left foot and has never been blessed with pace. He put a shift and a half in on Sunday and I thought it was great the way he walked round at the end giving it big licks with the crowd. Clearly enjoys playing the game and winning. You only need to look at comments from fans of his previous clubs to see how well liked he was there for his commitment and performances. First time since probably Naismith we have had a leader out field who helps coach everyone else through a game, it's an invaluable trait to have.

Picking up as much dross as quality. Must be paying fortunes for some of that pish if you combine transfer fees and wages. I'd argue, that given their scattergun approach to signing, if they had signed as much quality as dross, they'd be doing OK. They've actually signed mainly dross with only the forward looking anything like a football player....their current "top boy" is Rocky - says it all.

To date, their only proven good signings have been Marshall (he was a very safe and decent signing) and Boyle (which given he was only away about 6 months, barely event counts). They signed 15 players in summer and at one point had 9 of last season's bottom six 6 side on the park. It is laughable. And I am laughing.

Boyle is genuinely the only player they have that could get a game for us. Yeah I definitely feel its vital to have a few experienced pros in the side. Just need to make sure it's ones like Snodgrass and Naismith and not Glenn Whelan and Aaron Hughes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swindon couldn’t wait to get him out the door with his contract running down. Ideal fit for Hibs I suppose 😁 He at least wants to play though. McGeady is just proper taking the piss, though 😂 Most of my STFC fan mates thought he was a waste of space although he was capable of the odd bit of brilliance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
