January he had help building a list of targets. This Summer we're back to him trying to do it all alone, and that's us back to signing obvious easy targets or agent recommendations. Do you think he had a list of alternatives he worked through before settling on Drey Wright? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've learned though based on the minutes signings have played, Davidson doesn't like the alternative options/doesn't trust the method used to find alternative options. Ambrose straight into the team, Mahon watching for months as example. He likes ones he can "trust". Known names. While we're signing players his way we're unlikely to pick up someone on the cheap and sell for profit.

Only one that bucks the trend a wee bit is Cleary, and maybe Gallacher Edited July 1, 2022 by Kyle 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one that bucks the trend a wee bit is Cleary I’d argue for Gallacher as well on that front, who’d made the left back spot his own until he fractured his leg. But yeah, 2 out of how many!? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted July 1, 2022 Author Share Posted July 1, 2022 Yeah I added him in as you were posting I think. Even then though, he had to wait for his chance and only really got it when Booth was injured 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Saintee Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Numerous opportunities for Ciftci based on what? 2014? And hardly a sniff for Bair and Vertainen. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genuine Hibs Fan Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think Carey is a terrific signing because regardless of age, fitness, general ability I would always happily have a guy who can score 5 goals from outside the box a season in my team. Stevie Mallan leaving Hibs was my saddest day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingscot Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 I think Carey is a good signing. Be interested to know the other sides that he turned down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sh*teAndMuck Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 17 hours ago, John Bonham said: Those ST numbers are pretty incredible in the circumstances. Was fully expecting a huge fall off! Good to see some positivity coming from a club official for a change! If ticket sales are true that’s great news, maybe an indication that not everyone is as negative as the negative c***s on here! But seriously, the FCU factor could be something to do with it. Despite the crap football, the atmosphere made it a decent experience at a number of games last season which otherwise would’ve been complete torture. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coventry Saint Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Fair play, that's a great signing. I adored Carey with us. Always felt we hugely under/mis-used him. Gutted when we let him go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That changed at Plymouth. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought he'd still have had a couple of offers in the top flight. I know he's 33 though so maybe not many willing to do 2 year deals but players like Burke, Teale etc have played well despite being older. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not as bad as the other 30+yo ones getting multi-year deals to me, as he's had 0 injury problems, and has shown he can still play, and perform, regularly. Think his success will depend on how we set up, as he clearly still has quality in him. I quite fancied Carey for us when we binned Polworth. Even now I wouldn't have minded him as an alternative to Goss tbh. It'll be interesting to see how he gets on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goss was poor for us and Alston the same yet he is looking okay at Killie, That's football fans for you ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RandomGuy. Posted July 1, 2022 Share Posted July 1, 2022 Everyone else get an email about the season tickets?
