Rumour.

Not according to the reports I read. Both players left Wigan because of contract issues on the advice of the PFA. I would assume both were totally confident of getting new clubs pretty quickly which has happened with Whatmough. Sure we'll see the same with McGrath shortly. Doesn't mean new jobs were "lined up"
Neither you nor I know for sure though.
For me they took advantage of the situation.
I suspect both had clauses in their contract relative to a salary reduction in the event of relegation.
I suspect Whatmough got a nice fat signing on fee at Preston and an increased salary.
McGrath isn't as much sought after but will still be looking for a healthy signing on fee and salary from his new club who will pick him up on a free. I would like it to be Hibs but suspect we have spunked our player budget. I suspect his destination will be announced in the next day and a half.
 
Not a rumour but that Daramola at Kelty looks some prospect

Rapid and scores goals

Won't be there for long

Looked him up.. played 90 minutes against Ross County 0 goals 0 assists and 0 shots on target... id like a bit more from a striker regardless of the level.

He's a winger

Did you look up his other games or just that one ?

As I said he must have something teed up to walk away from his contract at Wigan.
I can only think his new club hasn't been announced because either he wants the dust to settle first or his new team are imminently moving a player on and want to keep quiet on McGrath for some reason, until it is done, but we are only 3 days away from the start of the season.
Not likely to be the wee huns now as they got lowry from the big huns

Your taking my comment out of context which is the most unfair and naive thing of all on forums.
You need to go back to post 2184 on the previous page to get the context?
Basically another poster Bofahibee said Jamie McGrath had left Wigan.
I replied that he must have another club teed up and that it could be Hearts
Bofahibee replied he's a Hibee isn't he?
I replied, I doubt it. Are you confusing him with Jason Kerr?
4 hours later after Bofahibee and I had moved on Dub went back to my post and jumped in with "From Ireland so he could very easily be a Hibs supporter" We then batted the pointless matter of what team McGrath might support back and forward.

So in the whole exchange I did not state that McGrath or any other player will not sign for one team because they supported another.
For me they are all professional athletes who will follow the money.
Furthermore I should also say I would never suggest that Hibs don't sign a player because he has played for another football team.
That tribalism is something I have seen on Hibs forums but isn't a view I hold.

Getting back to the original football part of the conversation. McGrath must have a club teed up to walk away from his contract at Wigan.
I would like it to be Hibs but Hearts and Aberdeen are a bigger possibility especially the latter given they appear to be selling Ramadani.
Pathetic.
 
Do we even have a crisis now?

Marshall starting today and Boruc on the bench. Johnson recalled temporarily.
That's more than our minimum requirement?

What is the extent of Marshalls injury?

Marshall's decline over this year has been startling. Surely he's not going to continue as first choice all season?

Managed to walk back on the park today ahead of Boruc.
Can't see LJ changing.

If you look at how Marshall moves these days,it's very slow and laboured.

I think these years of throwing himself around...have crept up on him.


He just doesn't look comfortable moving around. It's a shame really.
 
Melkersen off to Stromagodset seems to be gathering a few mentions in Norway.

Also, think Josh Doig is close to finally moving on to a new club.
Doing just played 90 mins for his club in. 3-1 win in the Coppa Italia, big risk if he's closing in on a move away.

Melk away with a sell on clause later would be ideal and free up a wage for someone else to come in.

We really need a left back for me and a right sided forward.
