Griffiths is done, had plenty of times to turn his career back around, comes out in the press at every occasion saying the right things then never actually bothers to put the work in. If we're resigning someone, give me Telfer back to play as the number 10. Would much rather see us take a punt on a young hungry loan than waste ourselves with the wee fat thumb again.

Don’t really disagree just struggling to see where the quality loan player is going to appear from. I mentioned Owen Moffat from Celtic a few days back who would certainly fit the bill but would Celtic even consider sending him on a trip to the seaside leagues. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be against Griffiths signing but only if it was funded from an external source (rich fan or whatever) and on an incentivised basis, because he could end up bankrupting us! and if he could prove his full fitness first. Otherwise we'd just be asking for trouble. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

18BAIRN76 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Someone on here was claiming a couple of weeks ago that a businessperson offered to pay for Griffiths and the club said no. Edited July 21, 2022 by 18BAIRN76 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donathan Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 If some white knight businessman wants to provide a pot of money for a signing then that’s great but it should still be up to the manager who that signing is. Can’t have a local businessman demanding to sign particular players. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lewis Jamieson has 9 goals in 23 games in this league from his two loan spells at Clyde. Kyle Connell has 12 goals in 46 games from his two loan spells at Airdrie and East Fife. Never seen him play but Josh O'Connor seems to score goals for fun at youth levels for Hibs. I believe Owen Moffat's a winger.

We signed Tom Lang who was also injured when he signed on the dotted line and a couple of players (Matthews and Spencer) who required ops that were never done due to the insistence they played, in Matthews case masking it with painkiller injections, and that's them only just getting the ops now McGlynn is away. McGlynn said in a recent interview that 'he gets injuries wherever he goes' or words to that effect and it does make me wonder if his training routines may have something to do with it? I think we've had Williamson (may have been covid), McKay, Donaldson, Henderson and McGinn all injured since he came in and he's now signed two who are injured without kicking a ball! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the manager didn't want a certain player then it would be a non-starter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ebobsboy Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 If Kennedy is going to be out then I'd cancel the loan and send him back to Rangers. We don't have the squad or the time waiting on him getting fit. Get someone else in. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuncornBairn Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Don’t like the look of the league table. Showing us as sixth, really if “FC Edinburgh” want put fc first then we should really be 5th. An absolutely disgrace, robbed of 5th before season started. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d have Telfer back tomorrow tbh if the alternative at number 10 is Nesbitt all season. It’s a clear downgrade if that’s going to be the case Imo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taxi for De Massis Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 3-0 win awarded to Greenock Morton against Hibs. Wonder how the Hibs fans are thinking about the upcoming season now (but then who the hell cares) Now, just avoid defeat against Clyde, something we haven’t been good at for a while but I feel we’ll grab the most ugliest of win / bonus point Better season already than the last two! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
