Except he doesn't 'want' to leave and is being forced out, just like all our other young talent, and is actually being shat on by Levein in the press.
Him and Budge are clearly desperate to cash in to fund the new stand. When will the support collectively unite against these fucking parasites?
I posted before I saw the Facebook comment etc.
Levein is poison now unfortunately.

I see Jamie Walker wants to leave.
Good player who we couldn't really get the most out of. I think he's wasted on the wing, which is where he played most of the time. At his best playing off the striker, although the combination of him and Isma didn't really work.
I don't think he's got the pace to play at a higher level and he's not quite skilful enough to make up for it. He also has an unfortunate tendency to disappear when the going gets tough.
It's probably the right time to cash in, although I don't really have much faith in the current management finding a decent replacement.

I can't deny that Berra is a decent signing and he will make a difference next season.
We'll only beat ye by 2 goals haha amarite?You only beat us by two goals last time.

No. It's a specifically popular opinion among Hibs fans for some reason.

So, Nowak or Avlonitis?
They've played 70 and 110 minutes at centre-back respectively, so it's difficult to judge based on their record here.
I'd say Avlonitis is probably the better defender based on his CV.

I notice Goncalves will wear number 77, so we've now got a number 77 and a number 88 in the first team.
I'm already looking forward to the dreadful hot takes highlighting this as a symptom of us being overrun by "foreign mercenaries" after a drab defeat at Rugby Park or somewhere similar.

Nice to see Cathros introduction into the league is helping young Scottish players like everyone claimed it would. Signing nine foreigners is a great start...
I am a bit disappointed that he thinks signing players with pedigree will help us. I was hoping he'd turn Liam Smith and Rory Currie into international superstars instead.

Bambino has been getting some mileage out of this "Oshaniwa was bad therefore international players are bad" patter recently. Fair play.

Why would a boy who hasn't been selected for the shitest Greek side that lost to The Faroes and NI twice be an improvement on a current US internationalist? And if he is, off he pops at the end of a he season having improved his fitness and had himself in the shop window. Makes no sense at all,
He captained Greece in a friendly in November and has 62 caps going back to 2006. He also captained PAOK in the Europa League group stages last season when they took 4 points off Borussia Dortmund. He's played in Serie A, the Bundesliga and La Liga.
Why wouldn't he be an improvement on a guy who has a handful of friendly caps for a US side which recently lost 4-0 to Costa Rica?

Imagine hearts press officer guys telling the wee reject what to say
big club diddy player for a diddy wee club that Cathro didn't even know about. He impressed on trial at East Mains but wasn't offered a deal then he was offered to hearts who signed him without the manager seeing play. Beamer.
Getting this ruffled about a mock-up Daily Record article with fake quotes.

I fully believe that he could be the next Jonathan Toto.

Fairly sure I heard Liam Mcleod remarking on how Andraz Struna, who joined from Greek side Giannina, hadn't "played a single minute" for them this season. Might have something to do with the fact he left them last June, Liam.

Getting a fee for a fairly nondescript player with 6 months left on his contract. Cheers Robbie.

I've not really passed comment on his scoring record yet. He's done well for the past 2 seasons in Norway which is a league of modest standard. As far as I can see he scored 3 goals for Middlesbrough which doesn't tell us much.
The boy was clearly highly rated at the beginning of his career so hopefully he can kick on. Under 21 cap so i'm sure he's got good technique.
I was responding to the post above yours and my point has nothing to do with whether he'll be a good signing or not because I have no idea.
I'm disputing the point that he has a "honking" scoring record, which is now being stated as a "fact". Given his limited number of appearances, no-one could confidently state that he's going to score goals here. However, his minutes per goal in Norway and in the Championship, based on the data we do have, is relatively good. I wouldn't say he has a great scoring record because he hasn't played enough games to say that, but it certainly isn't "honking".
It's a bit of a weird thing to focus on for a centre-mid anyway. Djoum doesn't score many goals but he's still one of our best players.
FWIW it seems that a lot of Middlesbrough fans rated him but he struggled to nail down a specific position in a 4-4-2. http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/whatever-happened-middlesbrough-fc-midfield-11084735

As I said before, his number of appearances is a concern and it seems as though he's had at least a couple of long-term injuries in the past. 3.5 years seems unnecessarily risky on the face of it. That said, he has been injury free since 2014.
I fail to see how his scoring record is poor, though. Not giving you that one. It was one in four in Norway, which is surely above average for a central midfielder. At Middlesbrough he averaged a goal every 126 minutes of football. Not a "fact" at all, then.

Talking pish about what? The fact the boy scored a total of two goals more than what Wikipedia shows?
You claimed he had a "honking scoring record" for a midfielder despite the fact he was joint 6th top scorer in the Norwegian league last season. 8 goals in a 30 game season is equivalent to 10 or 11 goals in a 38 game season which, if replicated here, would have made him the highest scoring midfielder in the Scottish Premiership last season. He had 14 goals or assists in 29 games last season, basically a goal or assist every other game. Not exactly "honking" is it?
It was only a few months ago you were crying about us not signing Andy Shinnie, an attacking midfielder who managed a total of 4 goals in 3 seasons in the Championship (and has since managed 1 goal in the Scottish Championship). Martin managed 3 goals in a season when he didn't even start a game for Middlesbrough.
Not to mention that you also made a c**t of it when you were talking about his playing record, thinking his 2015 totals for two different clubs were actually from different seasons.
So yes, I think it's fair to say you were talking pish.

That Nigerian huddy has played 17 times for Nigeria, hardly makes you decent. Any idea why he's not had a team for so long? 6 months is hardly that much of a gamble though.
Nigeria has a special history of capping weird players, though. He also barely played for for a relegated Israeli team the year before he came to us (the same one Celtic signed Efe Ambrose from). There was plenty to suggest he wasn't much good.

Looks very decent going forward.

He scored 6 in 33...
It appears that last season is the first time he's managed to play more than 18 games. Behind that you're looking at 16, 12 and 11 appearances in recent years.
Shree-and-a-half year deal for a 28-year old with just 121 senior appearances to his name, many of which were obviously off the bench. Mental.
He scored 8 and assisted 6 in 29 games last season. Basically a goal or assist every other game.

The length of deal does seem risky as f**k though, given his history.

Only reason I could see that is if it was about money. But if it was about money he wouldn't even be interested in returning to Scotland.
What if he wants to return to Scotland but is also interested in money?

Can't wait til he's pinched by Rangers.
