Yeah, there's no way on earth anything like that could ever happen. *Cough* (Mcguire)

It's almost as if we have no money and needed a sale.

Lewis Miller...24 year old (25 before end of August) 6 ft 2 inches right back with 14 caps for Australia, as well as 2 international goals. They're not what they used to be the Socceroos, but we don't have a lot of internationals. Spent 3 seasons at Hibs, out of contract next season. Played in the A-League in Australia before that. Wiki has him down as 144 career club appearances and 6 goals (5 of them at Hibs in his 85 games for them, all in the last 2 seasons and 3 of them in the league). Struggling to find much in the way of highlights reels, none from his time at Hibs, this one being the most ecent... And that's SMI, not to be confused with SEM of SEM and Kentaro infamy, in case anybody else made the same mistake as I did for a moment.

Very hard to say you would probably have to put him behind Brittain at this stage given he’s no championship experience - so better the devil you know sort of thing but good age still a lot to learn and can improve on and a bit more versatile hard comparison but if pushed cal at the this stage a better right back but he wouldn’t be a massive downgrade

Quite possibly, however you'd suspect the player wants to keep us sweet as it would be a huge move for him. I suspect it will just get filed away and forgotten about though.....

Doing what?

What's your view on him in comparison to Brittain? Upgrade or downgrade? (if it happens)

I like the look of miller I follow a good bit of Scottish football he’s decent. How that transfers to the championship only time will tell but can play centre half and rb good age profile is an international - decent signing

I was thinking exactly this this afternoon. Every single transfer window since the Court case I get more and more despondent about the Club. The likes of Dolan and Brittain are nowhere near the best players to leave the Club. It's nowhere near a Shearer or Duff or Adam Wharton moment, hell it's probably no nowhere even near a Tony Field or a Roger Jones or a Simon Barker moment. However the plan now seems clearly to be to shed all higher earners and scour the lower reaches of European Leagues or any other League where players are paid a fraction of what they are in the Championship and are therefore still happy to come. If we can do this and remain competitive in the top half of the table or even just about survive it's a stroke of genius but as Herbie says "but..........". When you've got to the stage where the Club isn't prepared to offer competitive enough wages to retain the services of decent Championship players like Brittain and Dolan or even tempt a 35 year old centre back or a 34 year old squad player into signing a short term deal, the temptation is as you say to think "Why bother?"

That's the song sorted anyway 😄

At least we're replacing Brittain....Another player over 6ft n all...We are a team of giants!

Terrible owner = but they’ll go in the short to medium term. Proper football club like that will recover, perhaps strongly. Terrible owner = They won’t go and they are happy to see the club further and further ‘cut its cloth’ until all’s left is a raggy piece of string.

That would be the best exit of all.

Definitely not "exciting" but certainly an "exiting" summer. Venkys out!!

Oh I don't know. They were a struggling Championship club when he turned up 10 years ago and still are. We were a top 10 Premier League club when our lot took over and look where we are now. Granted they are having all sorts of issues at the moment but I expect they will be rid of him and under better ownership in the not-too-distant future whilst our owners continue to leave us to decay.

Yea hibs manager said it’s nothing too serious and he’s back out on the pitch already - Nixon 2 months was well off the mark who’d have guessed

Brittain is a huge loss

Hopefully he’ll be as good as our last Aussie full back 🙂

So so weird...I have YouTube on as I'm scrolling down here, and an ad was playing as I got to this...a Fosters ad!

Interview with Hibs manager 3 days ago says it's a couple of weeks...But yeh probably end of September before we see him up to speed.

Isnt he injured? Which seems to be a requirement when we try to sign players at the moment.

£750,000 plus extras apparently, good deal if so.

Lewis Miller, 750k according to Nixon. Sounds like good value - although clearly won’t be same standard as Brittain. Any Scots know much about him?

Is it just me or do potential fees seem to be getting leaked more often this window?

I hope you let their tyres down as an appropriate gesture on your way out, to give them an exciting journey home. It is high time some of these nuovo lumpen petit bourgoisie pillocks were instructed to stuff socks in their mouths before uttering any simpering drivel like that to good folk like you.
