Bring him home? The sheep are linked to him, is he past it, has he pissed in his chips, is he our missing link up front?
 
LG and KN up front 💚💚😛
 
Im far form the biggest critic of Doidge on here, but cmon surely Griffiths would still be an upgrade?
 
Does he fit the hibs model, buy players with a potential sell on value ??
 
Get him home!! He needs hibs as much as we need him. His love for Hibs could get him right back on track.

Too much baggage and I doubt he would be a positive influence on what is alleged to be a very good dressing room.
No thanks
 
Aye!
Troubles and all, this is home.
 
Do Hibs want to sign the best Scottish striker at present, who can score goals from anywhere on the pitch, and does so regularly, who loves the Hibs .
It's hard one that 😉

You can't really compare Doidge to Griffiths. Completely different styles. Doidge is a target man where Griffiths is more of a runner. They could be a really good partnership.

If Aberdeen are indeed linked with Griffiths that will be that. I'm not sure if Griffiths still has it. Not been playing regularly for a while. 20 games this season but how many has he started.

You are absolutely correct and I agree they could work well together.
 
Yes.

We got some excellent performances out of Deek when he came back from the Smellies with supposed "baggage" and I'd expect nothing less from Sparky.

Bring him home.
 
If Nisbet is away in the summer, Sparky would be an ideal replacement.
If Nisbet stays, perhaps an upgrade on Doidge would be a better use of funds.
Overall, I would have no complaints if Sparky was a Hibs player next season.
 
He is going to have to accept a massive drop in his wages if he wants to stay in Scotland and sign for either Hibs or Aberdeen. That's the choice he has. I don't think he will be in the new Celtic managers plans after the summer. He will want a clear out and a fair number of his own players in the door with the substantial budget he will be given. I also don't think England is a realistic option for Griffiths either.

If Leigh is willing to accept the big wage cut in order to re-start his career at a new club, and buckle down to save what is left of that career, then I would love to see him back at Hibs. IMO he is still the most talented scottish striker around and with his experience would be a huge asset to us in Europe and next season.
 
My biggest worry would be his motivation... is a player, who’s going to take a massive drop in wages, and who has sat out most of this season (for whatever reason), really going to be properly motivated? I’m not sure.

There’s no question over his ability, but there’s so much more to football than just ability. It’s a massive gamble, like Stokes was.
 
I can see Browns motivation in moving to Aberdeen.
Player coach, get his badges, on to management.
Cant see any such lure for Leigh.
Hibs is where he should be.
For his, and Hibs sake.

The Stokes that helped us win the cup? 🤣
I get what you're saying but if you asked everyone in this forum if they would give 100% to the team they support and love no matter what, I'm pretty sure the answer would always be the same

No, I was thinking more the Stokes we signed in 2017... the one who did very little and was released a few months later.
 
Is LG that far off the rails?

Without any knowledge of his current status, I would take him back to Hibs.

To be fair I can't think of any baggage from Deek.
LG is well documented,mental health/gambling/drugs *delete where appropriate.
Plus a chaotic personal life and a lack of professional attitude.**
** all of.which I will ignore if he is a success

You asked Hibs' box, now you're just moving the goalposts
 
Yes. He's the best striker in Scotland. He's a Hibby and he's going to be available. Structure the contract around him producing on the park. If he ends up at Aberdeen it'll be criminal from a Hibs perspective.

Agreed. Form is temporary...

More than likely Doidge n Griffiths would be our strike partners in any case. Nisbet will be offski.

Thought Porteous was a great prospect when he played alongside Efe Ambrose who taught him a lot.
Last couple of seasons he has become over confident and a Billy Big Balls unnecessarily at times.
Transfer speculation recently has also got to him I think. I'd take Griffiths if he really wanted to come and a cash sum our way would be a bonus!

And Gullan who was looking pretty sharp in the Fife derby the other week.

His whole demeanour would improve at ER.
A happier LG would be a plus.
 
So from Celtics box?

If it was at our end of the park it would be Hibs box.

He looked okay running on to through balls.
 
Sorry, getting a bit old and memory is going but has Leigh ever scored against us in a Celtic shirt?
