Tasavallan Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 In its favour Nish was not even on the bench yesterday which suggests he is on the way out, and Hibs therefore have only Trukopys and a bunch of failed youngstersas central forwards, so you would assume they are in for someone this deadline. he's also a Dubliner so Hibs might seem like a decent move, though you would tyhink he would have some awareness of their level; of crapitude While I admit to less knowledge of the darkside than you, Scott, all I can add is that Rooney must know he is worth far more than whatever H*bs can offer for a proven striker. But surely as a Dubliner the manky toothed Leprechaun would be looking to take him to Parkheid, naw? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gambo Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 This doesn't bother me in the slightest. I've never seen the big deal with Rooney, Phew, i thought it was just me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bighusref Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 This doesn't bother me in the slightest. I've never seen the big deal with Rooney, if he was any good he wouldn't be at ICT and certainly wouldn't be considering signing for Hibs. Phew, i thought it was just me. I feel a bit the same. Thing is though, I don't watch the highlights of other games, I only watch Hearts games. He hasn't shone against us and as such I don't get the hype. He has a good scoring record, and I wouldn't be devastated if we signed him, but I don't know enough about the laddie to think he is the next best thing.

Eddington Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I take it Kuban Krasnodar aren't interested any more..... But to be honest.... Would you move there for about ?15k PW (if a pro footballer obviously).... I'm sure he could get ?6k or so PW in the champ..... Or, alternatively... do another year at ICT and then move on if you prove yourself Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie-Brown Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 as well as being a potential stepping stone to parkhead hibs are probably able to offer bosman signings a sizeable signing on fee. WIth the money they got for stokes and bamba the wee team are probably in a better cash position than most spl clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingantti1874 Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Na - I don't know why people don't just leave JJ alone on this one, he has posted many rumours here and even if some of the transfers haven't come off the majority have been of proven substance. I'm sure if he posted his source his source maybe would give out too much more info. The runours are fun, they make the window interesting and give us something to talk about - don't know why everyone gets so upset about frigging sources...

jackal Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 If Caley had an offer from the Hobos they would at least start a rumour to inform other potential buyers. It gives them a chance of other teams coming in for him a bit quicker than they would like and maybe get a bit more cash. More interest more cash for ICT. Anyway I dont think its strikers they need is it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seymour M Hersh Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The boy appears to have some talent but you never know what will happen when you go to a bigger team with greater expectations (and the hobos are bigger than ICT). However I would have thought better teams than the vermin would have been interested in him. If true it shows, imo, an amazing lack of ambition by the player. And it;s not like they'll throw money at him to make it happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victorian Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 i'm a bit meh about this too. how many times have hibs signed a player that was supposed to be 'a signal of intent' or similar and they just go about their normal business of being complete and utter shite? not every apparent hotshot makes the grade. remember wyness.

Agree, for example source could have been an early online snippet from one of the Sundays Finding out some footballing gossip doesn't always have to be some cloak and dagger espionage shite, and if you don't want to reveal your source fine say as much but don't get uppity, when people post a rumour it's the first thing people ask to determine if it is BS or worth debating You can't expect us to swallow everything that is posted on here, no matter if the person has been correct on some occasions in the past Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drylaw Hearts Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 If JJ wants him and it's a choice between us and them we'll get him. I think he's far more likely to hit the rigging than Clum so he'd be worth taking a risk on imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should we only sign players that fit into our current system or would it be useful to have a couple of different types of players so we can change our system depending on who we play ?

Nothing wrong with a bit of variety imo. depends on JJ's general plan. if he sees a system that he's settled on being more important than anything else then maybe the way forward really is sign players that way. i think you're right that you have to have more than one string to your bow of course. ideally we could do with players who can be coached well and made to understand a variety of tactics.

JennyJambo Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 The boy is soon to be out of contract it makes sense he'll be seeing what's on offer. It's a long way from talking to a club to signing for one. I'd imagine he's likely to speak to more than just Hibs because I'd imagine there'd be interest from more clubs than just Hibs. If he doesn't and he signs for them then the lad has little or no ambition other than the obvious long road move to Celtic of course! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andrew Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Adam Rooney scored the grand total of 6 goals in 36 games in his last full season in the SPL according to soccer base. He scored a lot of goals last season in the first division and he's carried that form through to this season but I doubt he can sustain it. He'd struggle to make double figures at Hibs IMO.

cosanostra Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 I seriously doubt this will happen. I doubt he's dumb enough to sign for Hibs.

This is the sort of player we should be going for. I wouldn't fancy our chances of getting him so I would rate Hibs chances as practically zero.

Do you seriously think that Rooney has shown enough to merit the Old Firm and Championship clubs being interested in him? The only reason I could see him getting a move to either the Old Firm or the Championship is because both the Old Firm and the top Championship clubs have been slashing down their wage bills for some time now. I just don't see what the fuss is with the guy, in the games I've seen him both on the TV and against Hearts, he's never looked anything other than mediocre.
