I don't know why, but I haven't been this excited about a signing for a while.  He looks young, talented and hungry, and exactly what we need to supplement Jack in the centre of midfield.

Why have Villa made his first interview look like he's been taken hostage though?!

Never heard of him before, while I enjoy non league football i'm not a big enough anorak to pay any attention to those amateur leagues in Very Northern England.

From what people have said and the small clips I've seen he could be a gem.

Yup. It could turn out to be a great bit of business. Hibs fans can't speak highly enough of him.
If we do keep hold of Jack I think these 2 could compliment each other quite nicely....a lot better than Conor or Glenn can.

My jock mates reckon he is a tidy player, good on the ball and will do well in the C-ship.

Seems like a really nice lad as well from that interview.

Hibs fans love him and send him with their best wishes which is a great sign. As I posted on the JG thread the disillusioned Jack Grealish is liking the AV Official Instagram photos of the signing???

Could be a new ‘Der Hammer’ going by the video compilation.

I don't know a thing about him except Hibs fans are absolutely gutted.

You know more than me then! But sounds promising.

Hibs fans referring to him as a 'legend'. Almost everyone wishing him well and quite a few have now decided for the first time they an "English club" to support.

Also mentioned that despite an undisclosed fee, there are rumours of a additional £2m promotion fee if and when we go up.

With Celtic lurking maybe we had to capture him to get him to sign. He looks like he hasn't seen daylight in a couple of days and hasn't eaten. Hungry is probably accurate.

If we go up I'll happily pay the £2 million "Promotion Fee" myself.





Someone might need to chip in a bit to help out, say £1,999,998.

Lots of Hibs fans on Facebook saying he's the real deal and wishing him luck.. that's promising.

I’ve seen him a few times. Good on the ball, decent shot and from what I remember will get stuck in. Good signing in my opinion, bargain at the price.

Interesting that he talked about signings (emphasis on the plural) coming in.

Good fill in for Snoddy and someone who can understand Hutton perhaps
