Well-Made Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Fraser Fyvie available for free. Worth a punt? Fraser Fyvie accepted Hibs contract offer – but was too late Fraser Fyvie has found himself looking for another club ANTHONY BROWN 06:30Tuesday 20 June 2017 5 HAVE YOUR SAY Fraser Fyvie is on the lookout for a new club following his exit from Hibs. The 24-year-old midfielder was one of several players given the chance to sign a new deal after running out of contract at the end of the Easter Road club’s Championship-winning campaign. With Hibs eager to begin preparations at the earliest opportunity for their impending return to the Premiership, offers were made under the proviso that players had to give a swift indication of whether they intended to accept them. While the likes of David Gray, Darren McGregor, Liam Fontaine and Marvin Bartley had little hesitation in intimating to the club that they wished to remain, Fyvie took extra time to consider his future and then rejected the terms on offer. But, after a change of heart, he went back to Hibs to accept their proposal. However, with several weeks having elapsed since the initial deal was put to him, he was informed that it was no longer on the table. The former Aberdeen player, who helped Hibs win the Scottish Cup 13 months ago, has resigned himself in recent weeks to a future away from Easter Road and is now exploring other options. Fyvie initially joined Hibs on a short-term loan from Wigan Athletic two-and-a-half years ago and, after making a positive early impression under Alan Stubbs as the team finished second to Hearts in the Championship, he made his move to Edinburgh permanent in summer 2015. When fit, he was a regular under both Stubbs and Neil Lennon. He leaves Hibs having made 77 appearances – 67 from the start – and two goals. Fyvie started both the Scottish Cup semi-final against Dundee United and the final against Rangers last year after missing the early rounds of his team’s historic march to glory through injury. The Aberdonian’s departure means John McGinn, Dylan McGeouch and Bartley are the only senior central midfielders currently available to Lennon, although young duo Scott Martin and Fraser Murray will be pushing for more prominent involvement in the upcoming campaign.

Lobey_Dosser Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 The last thing we need is a deep lying midfielder. When we back in pre-season? Tomorrow? I suspect Robinson will want 1 or 2 more, in addition to Griffiths and the rumoured Dunne, before heading to Dublin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You'll be able to check the trialists when the first pictures are posted from there next week. I'd wager at least two will be 'big'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MelvinBragg Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Kind of hoped we'd be avoiding the trialist market as much as possible this year. Just feel as if that lends itself to signing guys simply because they're available (Lucas and Clay being the most recent examples). And I know we have had success in the past with the likes of McDonald and Ojaama but we have a better record when it's actually players we have targeted... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dinnae-punt-it Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Suggestion was Adebayo Akinfenwa 'big'... Kris Commons? He's certainly small and fat. He is also 33-34, but get him fit and would on paper be a good option for an Attacking Midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobey_Dosser Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I have a feeling we might see him join us, just a feeling mind you I had a similar hunch although that was probably driven by Murrant's tweet after the England game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MelvinBragg Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Given Robinson's approach to players that can't match the standards of fitness he's looking for, I'd be surprised if we signed any players carrying too much weight. A centre back built like a brick outhouse wouldn't surprise me though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dezz Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 Young Jamie Semple signed his first professional contract with us today. Very highly rated by all accounts and looked very impressive in the home nations youth tournament thing earlier this year when I caught a couple of the games online. Was it Semple that McGhee was referring to when he mentioned us having a 15 year old who would be involved in the first team if he had been allowed to play him? Edit: should maybe be in the Under 20's thread rather than the rebuild thread. Mods feel free to move the post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you being serious about Akinfenwa as a potential target? I love watching him, but f..k don't know if I'd want him anywhere near my team - some on here were almost apolplectic watching the mobility of Higdon and Sutton - I dread to think what sort of breakdown a signing like this would invoke in our support Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neilwell86 Posted June 20, 2017 Report Share Posted June 20, 2017 I would imagine it probably was semple he was referring too, he's had plenty of trials with premiership clubs, got some eye for goal....regularly pings them in top bag from 25 yards out. Anyway, very positive news getting him signed up, huge potential hopefully it shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
