ZingaliMan Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Hibs have knocked back 2.5 million bid from Watford for Josh Doig . Impressive Hibs did not jump in and bite their hand off for the cash. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful to have in the squad and I'm sure he'll improve over the years, but certainly not worth breaking any wage structure. A lot of the credit he had in people's eyes was owing to the way his arrival sparked our season into gear. Beyond that initial spell, he was quite disappointing. I don't believe the offer should still have been on the table from us. We should have given him a hard deadline of a week after the end of the season and withdrawn it at that point, at least to retain a semblance of control. Edit to add the mitigating factor of his injury around Xmas time, from which he didn't make it back for the semi final defeat to LIvi. Was he even the same player in any games after coming back? Arguably not. Edited June 28, 2021 by Coventry Saint 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenburn bud Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I will be interested to see the length of contract JDH signs at Utd, in terms of six months or a year. The fact that his agent has previous for dicking clubs about would suggest that it won’t be long before he’s doing similar at tannadice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's hampered us up until this point, nippy yes, but as we've seen it's not stopped Goodwin bringing other players in. Looking at it (with absolutely zero ITK) I'd suggest Goodwin targetted those he brought in long before the window opened (after all, he'd have scouted both Power and Kiltie when he was watching Brophy before he moved to us - and I have no doubt Tait would have chipped in about Dunne). We should have taken the offer back off the table sooner though, imo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I more meant from a face-saving point of view: always better to do the dumping, IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The club had maybe got to the point of moving on so diverted the money to Power. Could be that what was eventually on the table for Jake wasn't quite the same as back in January. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DumbartonBud Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 I’m probably talking rubbish here but could us not withdrawing the contract offer be down to looking to get a development fee? No matter how small it would be for the few months he was with us? I don’t have the knowledge or enthusiasm to go research this but I’m sure someone will. Posting with little knowledge or facts seems to be the go to position here, so I’m just trying to fit in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZingaliMan Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 On a different note legend Jim Goodwin signd this day two years ago and what a trip it has been so far. Looking forward to seeing the new season and what it brings. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torfason Posted June 28, 2021 Share Posted June 28, 2021 Minor complaint but has the club’s communication team gone on holiday? No mention of players leaving (ex. Connolly), no mention of a tour, just a bit odd as it’s something that had been pretty well done prior to this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might very well be the case, although I'd guess Power is a much cheaper option, not least as he's only on a year's contract, to the point he would have come to us whether JDH stayed or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
