norfolkbroadslim 225 Posted August 28, 2008 I don''t know if anyone else saw the same article. Only reason I am mentioning him again is that it is reported Celtic will accept 250k for him. Now in the absence of a targetman and the chance that we will see no-one come in, surely we can afford 250k and surely at that price Riordan is worth a punt?Article here - http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football-news/scottish-football/spl-football/2008/08/28/hibs-must-stump-up-250k-to-get-derek-riordan-back-from-celtic-86908-20714733/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lincs CR 0 Posted August 28, 2008 We had a 500k bid for Steve Howard turned down... so we can definitely afford 250k :) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

William Darby 0 Posted August 28, 2008 better than an invisible man Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Barclay_Boy 0 Posted August 28, 2008 5ft 11inches and 10 stone 4lbs, not sure if he''s the big strong target man, able to hold the ball up, that we appear to be looking for sadly. We always look like such a bunch of short arses against some of the other sides in this division. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Show Me What You Gooot! 0 Posted August 28, 2008 For that money you won''t get better than him.OK he''s not the best player ever but he has got some potential and for £250k we''ve not got alot to lose at all.If Roeders reading this board - sign him up.

lincoln canary (& Golden Coppel) 0 Posted August 28, 2008 250k says all we need to know! has he even played for celtic in the last 18 months? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@NYCANARIES 0 Posted August 28, 2008 His name has been bounced around teams in this division for three years now. At 2 million, at 1 million and now he is 250k? There is a reason for that..he sux!-Bigus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocky Rocastle 0 Posted August 28, 2008 At £250k he is well worth a punt, whats the worst that can happen? In 12 months we sell him for £250k? (although his wages are probably quite high!)Someone please email Doncaster and get him on it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Someone please email Doncaster and get him on it![/quote]we sign him, he scores an own goal on his debut before breaking his leg. whilst injured gets involved in rape allegations whilst on a bender in the riverside. gets cleared but is shortly after recovering from his inhury he smacks docherty in the face for continuing to lump the ball at his head. the club release him paying up the final 2 years of his contract. thats worse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ivana_rubyatitz 6 Posted August 28, 2008 £250k is a steal if he is still the player he was at Hibs, thing is how much will a couple of years of bench warming taken out of him. Worth a gamble at that money though for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
breaker2 0 Posted August 28, 2008 For me if he is actually available for that price, then it would seem prudent to sign him, he''s not exactly what we need, but he would add to our front line, and would be a good partner for Lupoli.Although i still have a yearning for another striker and midfielder after him...

breaker2 0 Posted August 28, 2008 Does anybody think it would be at all possible to get Cameron Jerome from brum?or Vaz Te from Bolton?Felipe Caicedo from Manchester City?Marlon Harewood from Villa?Richard Offiong?Daniel Cousin from Rangers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
canaryjock 0 Posted August 29, 2008 The reason Riordan hasn''t played for Celtic is not because of his ability, it''s because of his off-field attitude apparently. It was in the news up here in the last few days that he has been banned from every nightclub in Edinburgh due to some ''unsavoury'' behaviour in a couple of places. Edinburgh has a scheme whereby if you misbehave in one nightclub, you get banned from them all and Riordan has fallen into that category.A terrific player, truly, but not sure Glenn would tolerate him here. That said, haven''t we got another player on our books who''s recently been banned from all nightclubs in one town so you never know?! [:P] Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
