Guest TPAFKATS Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 LEE is far better in the air and ALL round than Waters - and can play CB or midfield - His versatility is a huge bonus and not so long ago he was on big money way beyond what we could afford . . . Welcome back - keep fit and be the fab leader we expect you to be ! But is Lee better in the air than Ross Stewart or Cosgrove? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome back - keep fit and be the fab leader we expect you to be ! But is Lee better in the air than Ross Stewart or Cosgrove? He is a smarter defender and will play any striker better than Waters - that's the improvement we need. Will he never get beat in the air - no defender win's every header ! Anyway Cosgrove did not do too great against our new CB's, and Ross Stewart seems to have dried up a bit recently - sitting deeper in the midfield when he plays.

Aberdeen didnt cross to him.Mibees Stewart isn't playing against small full backs these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santaponsasaint Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Good luck to Lee, Always a hard worker. But if it was a choice between him and Paul McGinn I'll take McGinn every time. Seems were bending over backwards to help Hibs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they take points off Hearts, Hamilton, County and the Fakes, I'm all for it. So long as there is financial assists involved for us.

Ronnie Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Totally agree.The reaction of Mcginn going to Hibs this week and the signing of Hodson today you would think we have signed Andy Robertson to replace the worst full back in our history.Another in a long list of strange decisions. Good luck to Lee, Always a hard worker. But if it was a choice between him and Paul McGinn I'll take McGinn every time. Seems were bending over backwards to help Hibs.

TopCat Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 Surprised at the amount of people that think McGinn is better than Hodson. Not only is Lee younger than Paul but he’s had a more successful career. Hodson has over 100 games at League 1 and Championship level in England and has played for Rangers. Paul played part time till he was 24 then went to Dundee, Chesterfield and Partick Thistle.I think McGinn is a decent lower level Premiership full back, but I actually think Flynn has been an improvement on him recently. Hodson for me is a clear step up from McGinn and if we are getting a fee for Paul along with getting Lee this is a great bit of business.

It is up to JG where he plays not us. I suspect that most fans believe that Flynn is clearly doing a much better job at FB than Waters is. I very much doubt Hodson will be understudy to either though - so what's your thoughts ? Cosgrove did not have a good game against us last time - the Young CB's gave him a hard time. As usual there were a number of occasions when players waltzed by Waters or managed to get crosses in without a challenge from him AND he added nothing much going forwards. As for Stewart - he has not featured for them this year - Erwin and McKay seem to be ahead of him OR he is injured perhaps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He looks to be signed as a replacement for mcginn who has been consistently decent for a season and a half.If he's not a right back then I really don't think he's good enough for our midfield.

I don’t think it’s anything to do with that. I assume Paul would be going in the summer. As a result, this is an opportunity to cash in and get a fee for a player who’s on his way instead of losing him for nothing. The temporary replacement knows the club, knows a fair few of the players already, and has proven already he can play well in the specific position (while also proving versatility as well). Personally I think it’s great business - the replacement is fine, and we gain financially from a player who was set to leave for nothing. I don’t think it has anything to do with “helping Hibs”.

Hiram Abiff Posted January 30, 2020 Report Share Posted January 30, 2020 We get some cash for a full back who has lost his place in the side and is leaving in the summer and sign a decent replacement with loads of experience. Yet the usual suspects are still on moaning 😃 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager would hardly play a player in that position if he couldn't contribute to the attack.<_>I must've missed his attacking contributions in all the games he played for us last season.I recall him getting a nose bleed whenever he approached the opposition box.
