Not sure what happened to him - prior to that he looked like he could be very good. I just looked at his wiki page His injury history is a lot worse than I realised Not only has he suffered snapped cruciates in both knees, he also suffered an ankle injury in early 2013 which he had surgery on in the summer break and caused him to miss the vast majority of season 2013/14. And then in season 16/17 went on loan to Blackburn, did well in his first few games then promptly suffered a shoulder injury that caused him to miss 4 months of that season. The loon has just had horrendous luck with injuries. If he was a racehorse he'd have been shot long ago. He started well for us in both his stints. Obv in the first one, that was ruined by his ACL injury. Last season, my feeling is that through no fault of his own, he ended up being overplayed due to the rest of the central defenders picking up injuries that kept them out for significant periods when he really could have done with a bit of a rest when his form started to suffer late January onwards. He was never ever going to be an EPL player after his Watford release as some zoomers here were predicting. With his history, it's highly likely his career will be curtailed by a few years so he retires aged about 32/33. I have no animosity at all to the loon....he gave his all for us in both his stints, just wasn't quite good enough. I wish him nothing but the best for whatever remains of his career. Link to comment
Andy_123 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Had it not been for the constant injuries he could have been a very good player. But anyone who misses as much time as he has is never going to fulfil their potential. He certainly tired in the second half of last season, not surprising given it was probably the longest run of games he's ever managed to put together. Link to comment

Am not having he wasn’t good enough - was very good 2/3s if the season, until Mcinnes left really. Possible over played as you suggested. We’d be a lot worse of without Hoban last season.

BonnieDon Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/57669088 Jake Doyle-Hayes has signed for Hibs on a 2 year deal. A good young player and an upgrade on the (supposedly) departing Hallberg. Hibs have so far signed Jamie Murphy on a permanent deal, McKay (19 years old) for 400k and now Jake Doyle-Hayes. They'll have to sell players to balance their books but I think they've recruited well so far this window. Link to comment
Tord31 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I like McKay but I was not convinced on Murphy. Link to comment

I'd sooner have him than McLennan, and based on last season Kennedy too. Link to comment
ThomohawkKid Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 Doyle-Hayes had a better season than any of our CMs last season. He’s cracking business for Hibs Link to comment

Tord31 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Boro going down the pan obviously. There is hope for Cosgrove yet..... I see he is available on a season loan and I'd be surprised if he gets a Championship club. Link to comment

Wester Hailes Skins Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Uche is never a million pound centre forward. Liked him. But he's just not a million pound player. Causes bother but doesn't score or create. 2 Link to comment
Parklife Posted July 5, 2021 Share Posted July 5, 2021 This looks like quite an exciting loan signing for County. The boy seems to have a bit of pedigree.

Not one for us. Just pointing out as Hibs' team appears to be taking shape OK. Odoffin another that's relatively young with potential resale value. Would be decent business for them. Link to comment

Surely we would be better off giving a young player the opportunity rather than the likes of him. He will do Hibs though ? He's 23 and wouldn't cost the earth. I think he's a good bit better than "mediocre" but I also said he is prone to losing concentration at times. But there is genuine talent there and he also chips in with a reasonable number of goals, especially at set pieces. I'd far rather we signed him for a couple of years as a squad player than hand Devlin any sort of extension, even if just for 6 months. It's a moot point though because we have offered Devlin that extension, although why he hasn't signed it yet (that we know of) is anyone's guess. Link to comment
aberdeen1970 Posted July 6, 2021 Share Posted July 6, 2021 Surely the smart move would be to sign McCart, tell Devlin he's offski and use McCrorie as a back up centre back until other options become available? Link to comment
