Shame but atleast the issue is resolved. It would have been nice to have kept Killen but I dont think it will be that hard to replace him considering John Sutton is out of contract aswell.

Bye Chris Killen, thanks for all the memories.

JJP · 20-04-07, 15:49

doesnt surprise me. still crap news tho.

Rescued his career and helped him through this injury and he can't give us an extra year?

Fuck him

Agreed. He seems a bit injury prone anyway.

garethni · 20-04-07, 15:57

Hugely disappointing

Joe · 20-04-07, 15:57

We got him for nothing, he scored some important goals for us, moved on for nothing and I fell we can easily replace him for nothing.

The world keeps turning.

thats loyalty now for you NOT! helped him through a bad injury, collins immediatly assured him that there would still be a contract for him even though he was injuried and this is the thanks we get! take the medical treatment the bugger off

**HailHail** · 20-04-07, 16:01

Ah well, hope he finishes with us on a high IF he makes it back for a potential final appearance.

how are you HUN joe

**SkyeHibs** · 20-04-07, 16:03

I hope this is yet another story and not the truth. He has done well for us and would have been on for 20 goals plus for us if he had statyed fit. It is not easy on our budget to find experienced and reliable goal scorers and would be a blow after the departures of O'Connor and Riordan last year. Let's hope that something can be done. If not good luck to him, he came on a bosman and is entitled to move on if that is what he want's.

**Spleesh** · 20-04-07, 16:09

he done well for hibs, no arguement there.

he done well for himself at the same time though
putting himself in the shop window.

IMO always on the cards, nobody needs that much time to decide on a new contract or not.

Understatement of the year, he's spent more than half of this season injured. But has managed to score 15 goals so he will be missed

**tortohibee** · 20-04-07, 16:20

you cant blame him for wanting to go elsewhere whilst in the treatment room. remember he got injured playing for hibs and his employees have a duty to look after him. all the best if true but as ive said before his injury proneness is a bit of a problem and he is no big loss imo

Joe I like this way of thinking mate .

**ZemmamasBarnet** · 20-04-07, 16:24

"The news of Killen's contract snub has alerted the likes of Cardiff, Leeds, HEARTS and Italian side Genoa who are all thought to be lining up moves for the New Zealand international in the summer"

EH?!?!?!?!?

GloryGlory · 20-04-07, 16:27

No real surprise. Fuck him, release him now and move on.

calumhibee1 · 20-04-07, 16:34

IMO will be a massive loss. 16 goals in half a season.
If Donaldson can come in and get that amount of goals in a full season then he will be doing well.

**broonieboy** · 20-04-07, 16:37

HEARTS???? ffs Chris, don't do it!

I'm glad someone picked up on that.....where the ****did that come from?

Joe · 20-04-07, 16:45

We’ve got Fletcher, Benji, Gray and Donaldson plus Jason Scotland (the nations top scorer) and John Sutton are out of contract, he is easily replaceable.

Killen was a good goal scorer but his real talent was holding the ball up and bringing the likes of Benji and Sheils into play. That’s what we need to replace and what we’ve missed, and that is what I feel Sutton would bring to us. Indeed Killens goals to games ratio might be better than Suttons but Sutton will play 35 games a year to Killens twenty. Killens departure could end up being a blessing in disguise.
