joshcalrk Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 Could be wrong but a few comments there from a man who just sounds like he's had enough. Why having identified 20 players will nobody sign? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why having identified 20 players will nobody sign? Who knows? Maybe we tried to sign a striker. Let's just pretend his name is Ilco Naumoski or something like that. Hearts might have made an offer. The player and the agent may have liked it (number of contract years, salary) - and maybe just waited for the official paperwork to come through from Kaunas. And waited. And waited. And then signed for somebody else because he couldn't be arsed waiting around any more. Maybe something like that happened? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After having suffered the best that the likes of Mole, Elliot and Nade have to offer since Velicka went to Stavanger so the petty cash could be topped up, I've come to the conclusion that the most obvious reason we haven't been able to sign a striker who might score more than three a season is that the owner is a warped **** who enjoys ****ing people off.

Skiba Posted August 23, 2009 Author Share Posted August 23, 2009 Not Hearts. Yet. You reckon we'll still get him? He's still available as far as I know and Hearts spoke to him twice, as he had said we were his preferred option. You never know. I'd like to think after todays performance it is even more obvious we need a striker. Maybe Csaba's 'get me a striker or I'm offski' hints could turn it, who knows, I'm probably dreaming.

rich-1874 Posted August 23, 2009 Share Posted August 23, 2009 stokes is not the player he was, thats why sunderland got rid. We surely can get a player (striker) out they 200 names that the boss has been saying over and over?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what i watched on saturday he done pretty much nothing and could easily have scored 4. When he is fit this worries me slightly. Hence the reason i think a fit stokes (stokes like player) could have finished this game off in the first half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buzzbomb Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Stokes was available on a free 2 months ago. Hearts didn't take him. There have been another 3 strikers in that they chose not to sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walter Bishop Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Does anyone believe that Petrie would pay that sort of money? I heard it was 500k, fair play to the tache for releasing some money. I did hear a 3rd party are contributing to his Wages! Hibs have around 4 companys that own different things im led to believe, Hibs holdings,Hibernian fc , etc etc possibly his wges are going through one of these?

Clerry Jambo Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 We all need a lift after a crappy week. Lets hope we bring in a striker of note this week.......although I suspect we may well be disappointed again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should not need to conduct his business through the press. Then he's been doing it for 12 months He has been discussing the need for better strikers at the club for over a year So, given everyone had a boner about him last season, it can hardly be claimed that he was masking his mistakes last season Its not exactly a new "excuse" Csaba has put together just because we are gash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DikT. Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 We definitely need someone. I don't think Witeveen can do it on his own. I did like Nade but am really going off him. What happens if Witeveen gets injured? Glen the only decent option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adayinmay Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 And what are you basing this on? A couple of good performances a few years ago? Stokes is pash. Have to completely disagree with this. Stokes is a good striker and you will learn this over the course of this season. To hear Csaba say he was thinking of Stokes makes Hibs signing them even harder to take. Rankgers won with 10 men yesterday and a goal down. How the ***k? I'll tell you. They reverted to 3 5 1 knowing that we had zero chance of scoring as we have NO striker of note (GG apart). When Rankgers had KT sent off we should have brought on an additional striker to really threaten and stretch them but we don't have that resource. Will we sign someone this week? I certainly hope so but sadly don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markymark Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Posted on another thread that Lee Trundle was in stand yesterday - he's 33 I think now but always remember him having good scoring record at Swansea. I'd take him just now if he's fit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
