Derk's last chance

[Bartok]

Since he can't play in the semi, his last chance to make a commitment to Hibs is to sign a new contract now and boost the team for the match of the century. Otherwise forget about claims to be with us. NOW Deek!

The rumours appear to be that he has signed but it's not going to be announced until next week..

Can't help thinking that, if he has indeed signed, Hibs would have been desperate to release that news before the Semi Final. Even if it was too late to sell tickets it would be a great morale boost for players and supporters alike. TM's comments seem to suggest there is still a possibility of Deek signing but I'm becoming les optimistic as time goes on. Having said that, I'm becoming more optimistic about Sunday's result.

I think they are holding back the announcement in case we need some good news next week if the worst was to happen on Sunday.

Makes no sense. It would give the team a lift before the game. Afterwords may make us feel better but does not have the same effect.

Maybe Tony doesn't want the focus on one player not involved in the actual game..

Christ we're clutching at straws to keep positive on the Deek's situation..

Is this the 40th time he's meant to have signed ?

If he had signed, would it no make sense to announce it before the semi ?

This has went on far too long for me like, I'm resigned to the fact he's leaving, if anything different happens, then it's a boost

[fishybeaver]

Deek wont sign with Hibs, even if we made him the best paid player ever at ER, he could still get more going someware else. Garry O get 18k per week, no way will Deek be happy with say the 5k we could manage.

He will do the dirty on us, but who can balme him with the sort of cash available now adays.

The only thing that annoys me is the fact he's in the papers saying how much of Hibee he is, how he loves scoring goals for his beloved Hibs etc etc, so why no sign a deal ?!?!? IMO I think there's something went on behind the scenes.
If he leaves, then good luck to him !! He's been a special player for the cabbage.

Fair enough he is a Hibby through and through, but the offer of say 10k per week plus, your financal security guaranteed for the rest of your life by signing one contract ala Gary O, who can really blame him if he goes elseware.

I just hope it is abroad or down south, if he goes to the OF I will be devistated, all the goals he has scored will quickly be forgotton about if he signs for the smellies. Even worse than Ihun Murray as Deek has the ability do really hurt us.

Ideal scenoario, he signs a 2 or 3 year deal with a release clause, makes sense, but It won't happen.

I think his move to the huns will have went down the pan, Le Guen will flood them with French, unless Murray decides to do a Romanov and sign him.

Strachan has said he aint interested in him, he already has good young Scottish players there.

A move down south would get him the money, I have the feeling though he'd end up back at Hibs sometime in his career, you can take the boy out of Pilton, but can you take Pilton out the boy

I think this rumour is very suspect and a load of Bullshit. Love to be wrong though.

5 years time a front line made up of Millionare O'Connor and rich guy Riordan, both back a Hibs, now that would be cool!!!

[johnthehibee]

maybe o'connor could buy us a decent keeper with all his extra cash??

[GloryGlory]

Riordan signing a new contract shouldnt make a slight bit of difference before the Semi. The team and the fans should be right up for this game anyway and it shouldnt take a contract signing to lift spirits for the game. He's been with us all the way and will be untill he leaves. Personally I dont think he wants to leave.

[johnthehibee]

i think if we could just come up with a the right contract he would stay. after all he is still young, the idea of having to move down south or abroad probably doesnt appeal to him.

we should do a wip round on sunday the "keep derek at ER" campagn.

this is the biggest game for years and a huge occassion for players and fans and shouldnt take a contract signing to get players motivated.

[johnthehibee]

i dont think they are going to have any problem getting motivated 2moro. if he has signed, the team probably already know anyway, anouncing it officially is for our benifit not the teams.

anybody know if benji is going to play?

is there going to be anywhere at all to meet before the game?

big game but big chance to make an instant impression, im sure mogga will only use him if he thinks he is ready

[Sleeping Giant]

Dont think its going to happen. Ive heard strong rumours from posters saying he has signed then i hear strong rumours from other posters saying he will not. All the posters involved are respectedish long term posters so someones nose is going to be out of joint
