Craig Rocastle.... - HibeesBounce.com

...has signed for Yeovil on loan. FFS, he would have been so much better off signing for the Cabbage. Europe this season, challenging Rangers for third place, and a semi final derby.

And now he is at Yeovil.

er...and?

Cal_Hibby_4_Life · 23-03-06, 17:47

i'd take him back at hibs. his strength is good for our midfield, and he just is a really good player, we should have signed him long-term, but oh well, scotty brown and kev thomson are better

I wouldn't touch him now.

According to the Sheff Wed fans in my orifice "he's aaaaaalright, but we won't miss him" and "he's too injury prone". That coming from fans of a team struggling to stay up this year.

Think we got him during a good spell - two seasons of being injured and not playing regularly seems to have seen him lose it a bit.... he's been described as "too lightweight" as well....

Think so mate. Couple of reserve games in to see how he can cope.
If he is as good as everyone is making out then the possibility of a Semi for him

He's not good enough for us. He had his chance.

Don't agree with that. He was fantastic when he played for us. He has had his chance though, and has blown it.

Do you think a player who isn't good enough in a side struggling in the English Championship is good enough for us?

You judge a player on how he is today. Otherwise we may say Ian Murray is a good player..

Met him in City Nightclub with loads of other Hibs players around about late December 2004. Said he was keen to stay

then again....

Played well in a well organised, good Hibs team. Obviously cant cut it with mediocre players around him. Anyway think Murray has a better range of passing than MrRocastle and Mikey Stewart is better than both of them.

Postiga · 23-03-06, 19:32

I would welcome Rocky back but don't think Tony will persue him.

Kt and co are off better quality anyway.

**Decal Joe** · 23-03-06, 21:02

Yeovil have obviously got him in to replace Lee Johnson after the wee guy signed for the Gunts in January!

Obviously he's went of the boil if he's dropping down that far!

Incidentally I can't see Johnson playing for Hearts again as he was one of Rix's 2 January signings that the Romanovs disliked so much!

The Hackett signing was just to get a similar player like Sproule at the yams. However Lee Johnson looks hald decent. Reminds me of Makel. However you will never see him again

he can play as well as he likes down south, it doesn't make a difference. He was fantastic at Hibs and to me that shows he is good enough to play for us. Even Tony Mowbray in the Season review DVD said we were at our best when Rocky was here. Also, hate to say it, but Ian Murray IS a good player.

Really!

Where would he get a game in the current Hibs team?
