Dom is still only 24. Think once he settles at a club where's he is one of the top players and not in and out the team or being sent on loan, you will see him fullfil his potential. He's certainly got the ability to play in the Premiership.

Ashcroft, Longridge, Craigen, Higginbottom.
Only Ashcroft doesn't have a club from that lot. Longridge at Falkirk, Craigen just signed a 3 year deal with Arbroath and Higgy is playing in Kashmir of all places.

Need a GK. Probably OK at the back.
Out wide we have two cracking wingers now but Lewis McCann is about the only other player in the squad that can play wide(not keen on him there). We certainly need another wide player
Central midfield- Turner and Whittaker. I don't rate Turner but he might improve and Whittaker won't play every week imo. Matty Todd is nowhere near first team level yet and will go out on loan I think. I would say we need two central midfielders.
Up front we have a good front two. McCann and McGill as youthful back up but for me we need another.
I think another 5 signings still.

Courier saying that the sell on clause is 30% for Nisbet. We also get money for Hibs getting into Europe and also cash if Nisbet gets a Scotland cap. The fee was 250k.

I don't think it will be anyway near 250k., not up front anyway. Apparently it was significantly less than what Hibs offered for him in January although still a six figure fee.
It is 250k. Hibs offered 400k in January. We've got a big sell on clause too

What is it with Dunfermline and ex Falkirk players? You lot really look up to us and just want to be us don’t you?

Got to say that I was hoping for a better keeper than OFW. Wasn't that impressed with him last year. The rest look really good signings. Hope we can improve on Turner too.

This takes me back to the late 80's and Leishman's famous ''Selling an ace to buy four Kings'' statement.

Courier reporting that Dom Thomas is on his way to the Pars.
What a top signing that would be. apparently looking at Blair Alston too.
Also confirm that we negotiated a ''substantial'' sell on clause

Aye, because Dunfermline would normally release absolutely every out of contract player.
The scheme was there to keep people in employment whether they were fixed term or not. Many of the players released wouldn’t have been released in a normal season and some will be now be going far longer without a wage due to the delayed start to the season. But aye it’s your club so have to just blindly agree with them on everything.
The club offered and paid their contacts in full. None of these players have been offered a contract retrospectively, so it doesn't look like they would've stayed in normal circumstances. Many of these players have gained long term employment due to being released. Thompson to Derry, Smith to Hamilton, Paton to EK. We have also given employment to 4 people since then. Can't see how you take the moral high ground, when your club abuse a system that was created as a bridge to keep employees in long term employment.

Slightly off topic but sickens me to see that Dunfermline have already signed two players(both of which will be on decent wages) and are close to announcing Declan McManus and Kevin O’Hara yet claimed they couldn’t afford/were unable to keep their existing players on furlough. A club with not an ounce of shame.
We didn't want them. No point wasting tax payers money on players we don't intend to keep. That would be abusing the system. Money that could go to the homeless or disabled.

Ohara been offered a two year deal at Pars.
Nisbet deal nearly done £ 250.000 over two payments and add ons worth £ 150.000. On a three year deal to Hibs
Nae bother Walter Mitty.

A 30 year old striker that’s been playing part time football for the past 6/7 years isn’t the most exciting signing. Sure Robbo knows what he’s doing though
He'll be playing in the Premiership next year, going by previous (what looked like) shite signings Robertson has made.

I agree he deserves to be able to continue his footballing career.
I just don’t think it should include playing for Dunfermline. Although I know football fans well enough to know they’ll make excuses for anyone if they play well/score goals.
Yeah, I'm a little surprised that Pars have gone big on this move (If the 3 year deal is correct). I could turn out horrible if he doesn't cut it. Crawford must really rate him, to take such a risk. There will be division in the support on this move and the club will know it. All this must've been taken into consideration.

I see Nisbett is set to leave Pars for Hibs. I’d be surprised not to see Anton sign for them if that deal goes through
Do you think Dowds would do well in the Championship? His goal scoring record is not great. Guess his game is more link up or target man.

This is the shit I'm on about bud.
Som people are full of shit, everyone was raging at the time. So offended for blind people and now who cares?
Don't want this guy anywhere near our club. Horrible little shit.People grow up and deserve a secord chance. He was very young and naive back then.
When I look back at me at the age of 19 I cringe at some of the dickhead stuff I did. I have since gone on to build a good career and have a loving family. That would never have been possible if folk judged me as the same 19 year old twat for the rest of my life.

Good signing for Hibs. Never like to see a player of that quality leave but that's what our business model is. Hopefully the replacement can replicate Nisbet.

Will be gutted to see Nisbet go, but he's out grown where we are as a club now. If the fee is 250K, I would imagine a decent sell on will be included.
Bargin for you guys. I know he's never played higher than championship, but you can see right away that he'll go far. Tall and athletic, good touch and a natural goalscorer with feet or head. He'll go further than Shankland IMO.

O'Hara is similar to Nesbit in the way that folk in the game have always thought there was a player there, but it's taken a few years for it to result in scoring goals.
Nisbet had one good year at Rovers and never looked back after signing for us. O'Hara hopefully follows a similar route next season. He's a wee bit younger than Nisbet was when he signed for us too, so plenty time to get the best out of him.
Nisbet certainly credits Crawford in making him a better player. Hopefully O'Hara can gain from Crawford's experience too.

Must be a goer, not only has he started following Pars on Twitter but his mum has too.

I keep seeing people stating that they want OFW to sign.
I can't remember any good games from him and he didn't look commanding for his height. He screwed up the goal against Partick in our last match, so I'm wondering where all the fanboy stuff is coming from?
Is it because he painted a picture that made the club money? Must say that being good at art is not a key attribute I look for in a goalkeeper.
