Just heard Owen Coyle give him a really glowing reference and it seems the Hibs fans think he's something really special. They also seem pleased he's joining us too.

Anybody but Celtic I'd imagine!

Do we adopt Sunshine on Leith? I think we'd struggle to top that.

Came across well.
Bruce’s coaching already kicking in as he said ‘we’ll be there or therabouts’ 3 times in his interview.😂

Welcome John.

We should have agreed that the fee included the transfer of "Sunshine on Leith" to us, and if Tottenham really want Grealish, one of the conditions is that they have to take "On the piss, My Lord" with them.

I hate Tottingham, but I wouldn't wish that on my worst enemy.

He's signed. Happy with this. Welcome, John. 😁

I'm worried what is reaction will be when he realises he hasn't signed for Hearts.

I like his attitude. Switched on and Inteligent lad.

It's clear from Monday that our midfield needs that drive and bite. We don't need a headless chicken so his range of passing is pleasing.

I don't know much about him, but I'm hopeful. I'm always hopeful.

I just feel like there's some momentum.

New owners
Keeping Jack
Adding quality like Bryan et al
Coming from behind away from home

I just feel very positive at the moment, which when you consider where we were in June is excellent.

You know more than me then! But sounds promising.
