Speculation Thread

Ross County have just sold 18yo Gallagher to Aberdeen for an undisclosed fee rumoured to be around 6 figures. Possibly just passed that on to Hibs for Shaw.

In the few times I have seen Shaw he looked a handful. Had a great game against us at ER when he made one and scored one in the Hammill 2-2 draw.

Oli Shaw is half decent, though I think he would be too high a risk of a signing to part with 6 figures. In total he has only had around a season and a halves worth of first team football at Hibs and that includes championship level.

I wouldn't be surprised if we see a player come in from overseas, with our scouting range we have in place now.

I tend to the same view. A catastrophe waiting to happen at some point. A vanity project. 

You've been a long time though. Maybe..? It isnt a catastrophe....

It's a vanity project. Why not? He has the money. The problems occur when he wants to move it on, has illness impact on him or financial setbacks. However, I don't see a Gretna.

Don't know much about Oli Shaw but quite happy to miss out on him if it would have been a six figure fee. Imagine the meltdown from folk on here if we spent that on a Hibs reserve.

If he goes on to bag a shedload of goals for Ross County then fair enough but it's a bit of a gamble if they're spending that much.

I would have taken Shaw but not paid a substantial fee for him. A token amount with a sell on clause maybe at best.

I doubt it was Shaw as Goody went on record on Saturday post match as saying either target would be a considerable upgrade on what we have (hard to argue that about a Hibs reserve).  He did reiterate that these targets were not definite to come off, some work was required.

 

Where is the Cooke going info from ?

Here's hoping so.

Cannot find a Cammy Smith thread - but after his flop at UTD, I hear he is on trial at Dundalk - 

So , we take their best player and they get a player who was surplus to our requirements as a possible replacement.  

Aye, the Irish League is far better than Scottish football my arse.

How do you know he's far better. 

JG and others saying Peter is not yet up to the challenge and fits in at reserves with potential for the future - the other goalie plays at a higher level and has already shown that he is better than a reserves keeper . . .
