I'd rather have 11 players with the attitude of Kerr and O'Dea than paying over the odds for someone who has seen better days. I'm never convinced you get 100% from a player that's on the wind down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you signed Berbatov it would make me feel oddly nostalgic, like the days of you signing Caniggia and Ravanelli were back. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigOutYourSoul Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 The board have been trying for a while to get Scott Allan level signings through the door. Last season they had Christie and May very close to signing on loan before being trumped by Aberdeen and Preston respectively. Both of whom can pay significantly more than Dundee. So they have been trying to get quality in for a while. A CH and a striker and I think the teams in decent shape:Bain KerrO'DeaNew CHHoltVincent O'HaraEl bakAllanDeaconNew strikerThe basis of a decent starting XI. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheffield Wednesday owed us a £400k payment that Summer and were hell bent on getting someone else to pay it. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RandomGuy. Posted June 19, 2017 Share Posted June 19, 2017 In fact last Summer May had already spent a season at Preston and wasn't even halfway through recovering from his knee disintegrating, so I've no idea how they beat you to his signature -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fifespud Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Reading on Twitter that Daniel Higgins has left? Who was he? ETA - never realised that was young Higgins' first name. Disappointing if true, he looked like a player. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Litt Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 I'd be really disappointed if Higgins left, he looked really good whenever he played (albeit in a fucking shite team.) On another note, a Jambo in my work is convinced they're signing Gorgeous Greg after he was apparently spotted at Tynecastle yesterday/Sunday. Don't do it Greg 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ludo*1 Posted June 20, 2017 Share Posted June 20, 2017 Bit surprised if he has left if I'm honest, but seems a bit random to be made up. Hope he stays! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle Lafferty - Bit of a violent carthorse when he played for the ***s a few years ago. Still half decent, but not an out and out prolific striker. High wages. Verdict: Get him into the fucking sea. Clint Dempsey - Aged 34, would be looking for a decent wedge to supplement retirement. Verdict: Get him into the fucking sea Kris Commons - Scored a couple of goals and did little else at a level below ours for Hibs. Also consistently fat and unfit. Verdict: Get him into the fucking sea. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
