Statto Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Lewis Stevenson will be raped in the derby (not literally). Deividas know every trick in the book and has lightening pace.

Paulandshark Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Even if he doesn't go this week, there is no danger he would play on Sat anyway. He got a mystery illness just as the transfer window opened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveofthegame Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 If theres a bid been accepted there is no chance in hell he'll be playing on Sat. Do you think he'd be prepared to jeopardise a 'dream move' down South by risking an injury in what could be a heated derby?! Or more to the point, do you think Petrie will be prepared to jeopardise the ?2Mill!!! Absolutely no chance! Means Stevenson or that even younger lad who played on Sat. Either or i'd be very confident that Chesny will rip them a new hole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveofthegame Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Replacement could be Ned Murray if Petrie finds his purse strings! Difference in ability between Murray and Murphy is like night and day. Murray is an incredibly incredibly big time charlie, who was a bit part player of the least successful and one of the worst Rangers teams in living memory. Swapping Murphy for Murray is a massive stepdown, and 1 i'd be delighted with! On yersel Chesny! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jambojambo Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 best left back in the spl in my opinion, quite good money for hibs really but maybe could have squeezed more. whether or not he'll make it in the epl is up for discussion though.

jamboinglasgow Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 if I was a hibs fan I would be starting to wonder where does the money go now they have lowered the debt and built the gulag in east lothian.

this_is_my_story Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 How the F@*k do they do it??? ?2m for a decent and consistent left back, no Roberto Carlos here. ?2m for a 'right back' who can't defend, but admittedly does look half decent going forward. Remember his 'performances' against Skacel? ?2m for a midfielder who doesn't come anywhere near to bossing games or having a significant influence on them. And best of all, ?4.5m for a guy who can run about a lot, who would be worth maybe half that price if he could add composure, goals and a football brain to his game. When was the last time you heard of him having a blinder since his early season honeymoon? Wish we could get double the value for our players... would actually be willing to sell a few of them if, unlike hibs, we were to re-invest at least some of the funds into the team. I really am at a loss as to how they get these fees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely, Scott Brown seems to be going the other way and even 'Tic fans are starting to turn on him. Funnily thats what my Rangers supporting friend has said about Thomson. He is getting better and better he had a problem before due to having fergusson next to him who always demands the ball. Also he wasn't impressed with whittker at the begining but since being moved into left back he thinks he has done much better there. Not too sure about how Browns done.

DuffJimmy1875 Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 He will be away by then 100% confident. Even if he's not ACTUALLY left the club by then, if all that's left to do on a big deal with Brum is to dot the i's and cross the t's then he won't get on the pitch so as to avoid him getting a injury and thus jeopardising the move.

New Dawn Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 Another good bit of business for the vermin. Say what you like about Rod Petrie but he certainly gets good money for selling players (not that we haven't done too badly in terms of fees in for selling players either). I'd be a bit more upset if I was an Aberdeen fan. They have done as well as Hibs over the past few seasons (bar the egg cup win) and have raked in very little in terms of fees for selling players.

Poseidon Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 ?1.5m up front then ?500k if Birmingham stay up and another ?500k based on x appearances. How the **** do they do it?

footieman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 ?1.25 million up front plus the add-ons you have said.

We all know Hutton isn't worth that though. If it's only ?1.25m in the end then I think it's maybe a bargain but I wouldn't say ?2.25m was a bargain, unless he directly helps them stay up by scoring a winner in the last game of the season or something.

footieman Posted January 16, 2008 Share Posted January 16, 2008 I agree. Gutted he's left but we have lost better. The problem is Petrie seems happy to sell but not so happy to buy any replacements, I know the rumours are that the lad wanted a move back down south so there is no point trying to keep him if he wants to go but surely your club should have been actively seeking a replacement and had him in place before letting him go, or am I wrong? I know I have a cheek to slag the running of any club when you see the state ours is in, but surely you guys cant be happy with the way Petrie is running you club.

Depends if your talking about the English transfer market, which regularly sees mediocre championship players being punted for 4 million etc. Or the Scottish transfer market where its more like 400k. Personally I think he will do a job for Birmingham and still has his best years ahead of him, but I suppose only time will tell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
