Tony Hibbert set to return

[Big Fat Sam]

Watch Moyes fail to contain his erection and stick Hibbert back in the starting XI until the end of the season.

Probably get a new contract in the summer, too.

I will repost this after the Hibbert Moment occurs on 4/05/13 and you will be shamed, sir.

Better back up at RB than Jags or Nev, but shouldn't be near the first team if Coleman is fit, and shouldn't hinder Stones development if hes any good either

 

[squonk]

Oh God.

 

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

Great news. Looking forward to the 4th May when he smashes in the winner and windmills in front of the Kop.

What a subs bench for Fulham - great to see developing young English prospects!

 

[Elong]

Good for him, loyal servant to the club who deserves some support, hopefully he comes through alright!

[The Hibbert Agenda]

He must never retire from our playing squad.
I want him to be on our books, even if not ever featuring, until the day he dies.

Stones can take the right back substitutes slot next season, allowing Hibbert to either retire or move down the leagues at the end of the season. No point keeping him on the books on over 30,000 a week just because he's "part of the furniture". Maybe he could stay on the books, on heavily reduced wages, to help the youngsters coming through, a youth coach or something, if you will. I don't know. Is he still able enough to play 30 games a season in any league? He'd make a good Championship right back, I think. Maybe he'll stay local and join somebody like Preston or Blackpool, wouldn't surprise me.

Next season we have Coleman first choice RB, and Stones second choice (hopefully). We also have Jagielka or Heitinga who can play there, but perhaps Heitinga will be sold in the summer.

In any case, we have one fantastic right back, one promising youngster and one emergency right back who has been able to play there to a decent standard before. That's more than enough. Sorry Tony lad, but you've earned far more than your abilities have allowed you over the past decade, count yourself lucky son.

I love Tony Hibbert

great to hear he could soon be back

Has deserved a much better testimonial year

I don't expect him to have much longer left due to all the injuries. I hope he gets maybe 1-2 more years in top flight football before either moving down a league or hanging up the boots

Proper one club man Tony Hibbert. Love the man, want his kids etc

 

[Abraders]

I would love to see this next game based on Hibbo being back

Howard
Hibbert Jagielka Distin Baines
Coleman Gibson Fellaini Pienaar
Mirallas
Anichebe

Or even
Barkley
Mirallas

bringing on Cheebs as barkley's replacement if it's not working.

I actually think this is our best lineup now. Hibbert brings strength, and allows Coleman to really go forward without worries about making his way back. It's a bit more defensive at RB, but you basically change out Osman for Coleman, which is actually a bit more attacking.
