Neilson hasn’t a fucking clue if this is the depths he is plumbing A desperate, short sighted signing. Previously I suggested we would finish above Hearts this season more in hope than anything else. However the way the Watery Farts have started the season, on and off the pitch, really confident now + would imagine that wee Robbie will be visiting the job centre before the season is out.

Wester Hailes Skins Posted September 7, 2022 Share Posted September 7, 2022 Between Humphreys and Snodgrass, yeah, underwhelmed. Snodgrass was a great player but now 35 and very few aging ex EPL players come up here for a last hurrah and do well. Will settle for sub status and decent free kicks. Yeah, plus top bants. How many points do we get for nailing shoes to the floorboards? Link to comment

How many points do we get for nailing shoes to the floorboards? The odd one does well (Barry Robson for us as an example) but on the whole signing players in their mid 30's rarely ends well. We experienced that recently with the likes of Brown and Bryson. Fletcher has looked very poor for Dundee Utd so far. McGeady will do fuck all at Hibs. Snodgrass won't have come cheap with wages either time will tell he might do ok if he can somehow stay off the treatment table. Link to comment

The Gee Man Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 If we move for Scales it’s certainly not at 500k, maybe £250k at best Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted November 23, 2022 Share Posted November 23, 2022 I think the jury is still out on Scales. He's been one of our better...and consistent....performers so far. If Celtic were happy to take £250k in January, I'd agree we should go for it. If they wanted the £500k it was speculated they might want at the end of his contract (with us)....then I'd say hold off till summer and see who else might be available. If there's no one obviously at least as good and available cheaper then I'd probably accept us paying the £500k but certainly no more. Of course if he's excellent in the second half of the season other clubs might come into the equation. If they're willing to go higher than £500k I'd say they are welcome to him Link to comment

Andy_123 Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 Scales has been decent enough for us so far, but not so good that he'll have clubs queueing up to sign him for £500k. Have Celtic not just signed another Japanese defender? And are about to sign a Canadian defender as well? Scales won't be getting anywhere near the starting 11 there. Something like £300k and maybe a sell on clause or something should be enough unless Celtic are awkward. Link to comment
Ten Caat Posted November 25, 2022 Share Posted November 25, 2022 We are putting Scales in the shop window. He's already on the fringes of the ROI international squad so it's not as if he's a total unknown. If we think he's good enough to sign, then so might clubs at the bottom end of the English Championship and certainly middle to top EFL1. His pricetag certainly won't discourage them. It then becomes a question of who can offer him the best contract. I'd imagine clubs of that level can fairly easily match anything we might offer. Link to comment

If he could undergo some therapy (I'd say hypnosis) to make him concentrate and stay focussed then absolutely. He was absolutely magnificent in the game he played for Scotland and for a few games for Hibs immediately prior and after. Sadly he's went to shit since and he's got too big for his boots. He's certainly better than our captain. But I'd imagine he's looking for cash that you'll only get with the arse cheeks in Scotland. Link to comment

I’d say it’s highly unlikely either of the cheeks will bid for him. An English championship side in the lower reaches will no doubt have already whispered in his agents’ ear. Boy is a bam but maybe being away from Edinburgh will mature him Link to comment

Surely no decent club will want the useless cunt? Just seen he was actually with us as a youth. The loon can play when his mind is focussed. As I said already, he was fucking magnificent against Ukraine. If he wasn't certain that he was going to get a decent move on the expiration of his contract in the summer (at the latest) I'm sure there would have been no statement about his intentions.....he'd just have kept quiet, and keeping the option of still re-signing with Hibs open as a safety net.

aberdeen1970 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Championship move probably already lined up. Announcing he's not signing will be to force a move to said club in January for a fee. No way he was signing for Aberdeen anyway 1 Link to comment

Seen some Hibs fans on Twitter talking about it and they said Porteous is currently on £2k a week and they offered him £10k a week on his new contract 😂😂. Don't believe that for a second. And let's be honest if Hibs offered him £10k a week he'd sign the fucking thing and if his performances picked up again teams would still come in for him. That wage is a drop in the ocean for Championship clubs. Link to comment
