As long as they lock him up between games* he'll be a great signing.
* allow him out for training sessions.
How about Saido Berahino and Leigh Griffiths up front for us next season?
And if Glass or Brown can then persuade their old pal Gary O’Connor out of retirement we’ll have a perfect trio of bampots up front. We can maybe even try for Riordan? It’s incredible how many talented wasters come out of Leith when you think about it (and I know Berahino has no Hibs link before it’s pointed out!).Quote:

A note to other teams....
Beware of the Glass!!
Is that a no thanks? XDQuote:

To be honest I don’t know RJ. Ability wise they would be the best striker signings we’ve made in years and the pair of them would score for fun for us which is an appealing thought. I also think that Berahino now has the choice of being remembered as a complete waste of space or finding a club where he can show just how good he is. I also wouldn’t normally think we had a chance of getting Griffiths but Celtic want rid and maybe Brown can persuade him to come to us for way less money.Quote:

I guess that’s where we are though. We would have no hope of signing guys of their level if they weren’t slightly fecked up in some way! Maybe we just sign them, enjoy the ride while it lasts safe in the knowledge that it will inevitably go tits up at some point!
That’s it then, let’s get them in. What’s not to like about strikers who actually score and look like goalscorers on the pitch? If we are supposedly getting taken to the next level then we definitely need to have teams fearing we will blitz them.Quote:
