buddie06smfc Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Doidge was made to look a player in the last game before the split by Dunne and Shaughnessy. That might explain any sort of interest from Robinson. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain_Sensible Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Doidge had a pretty decent goalscoring record between 2016-19 with Forest Green Rovers at National League / League Two level Great first season with Hibs in 19/20, tailed off a bit in 20/21 and not very good at all in the last 2 seasons. At almost age 31, I’d say it’s unlikely he’ll recover his goalscoring form. However, I do remember John Sutton having a purple patch after he rejoined Motherwell at a similar age after an unsuccessful spell in Edinburgh. He too was the type of player who attracts the boo boys. I trust Stephen Robinson so what will be will be 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aldo_j Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I’d imagine Doidge, if we are interested, is being viewed as a backup given Madron has the 9 shirt. Not an exciting signing, but with Ayunga injured a wee bit of experience on the bench wouldn’t be a bad thing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houston_bud Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Doidge wouldnt be my choice but I always feel he's caused us problems. Surprised he's only 30, I thought he was older. I won't be angry if he signs but I think we should be aiming higher. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smellthepaw Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Doidge had a really good start at Hibs and at the time he was surplus to requirements I was slightly surprised. Since that moment I haven't really seen a return of form that would suggest we would be getting the same player. Though having said that.... look at the transformation in Curtis Main under Robinson after a disappointing spell at Aberdeen and back down south. If we ARE interested, could a change environment and style of plat benefit him? Possibly 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With all due respect to the likes of St Johnstone, how did they receive more than us? Was it not only Wotherspoon they had at the WC with Canada and he made 1 sub appearance? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the amount received was related to how long they'd been at their club. Baccus had only been at us a few months so I think a decent amount went to his old club. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigkillie Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) It's based on the entire two-year period leading up to the tournament (ie covering qualifying) and is pro-rated over the time. Wotherspoon was at Saints for that entire time, whereas Baccus only joined Saintees a few months before the World Cup.

Div Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 The slightly mental angle to the imminent departure of Doidge from Hibs is that Lee Johnson is a big Curtis Main fan. At this stage I'd be fairly certain Curtis is probably going abroad or back to England but if he was staying in Scotland I would not rule out him rocking up at Easter Road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming Curtis hasn’t got himself fixed up yet, would it not make sense to enter into some negotiations with him, and tempt him back as opposed to signing Doidge. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think by all accounts, although the door was left slightly ajar there, that it is now closed. From what I can gather there was a willingness on the part of the player to stay if certain terms were met, and there was a desire for the club for him to stay but alas it looks like they were too far apart in what he wanted versus what we were willing pay him. He's still living round the corner from me and his family seem well settled here. A shame but the manager has a budget and it's entirely his call as to how he uses it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now we have time to sign more international before the next WC. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine if he was going to get something considerably better it might have happened by now. Now he's likely to miss out on a month or two's wages, and also be behind in his fitness so probably miss out on some appearance fees early in the season as he gets up to speed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely if we are trying to sign another striker and Main still hasn't got another deal the door must be slightly ajar? Even if it meant Main taking another year on what he was on previously? Would Main have been on significantly more than we would pay Doige if he signed for example? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
