Anthony Stokes (F free agent b.1988)

He's just got a goal. Hibs could be the right club for him. He did well in Scotland before and he will learn his trade at that club, and experience playing on abig stage in Ibrox and Parkhead

same applies to Stack, although he's a bit older. I think Stack can still become the regular cover for Given if he gets football

second goal on 73 for Stokes

more to do with the manager than the club to be honest. Hughes got the best out of him before and it looks like he is going to do it again...

Needs a run in a team as a striker, he hasnt had that since he was at Falkirk.If it happens and he gets his confidence back he could still develop into a very good player.

I dont care for his 2 goals against less-than worthy opposition. This kid has an attitude. Like Roy said, dont be surprised to see him playing non-league football in a couple years. Clearly in the game for all the wrong reasons...
I have seen him do the same when hes on the **** in Dublin as well.

Was Roy talking about himself as a manager.

Saw that on saturday, looks like his mate started a fight, and he got in the middle of it

Lads, in GAA and soccer clubs all over the country there is rivalry, and often if lads meet out on a night out they end up in fights. But when they are well known soccer players htey get grief and probably rightly so as they should be acting as role models, however they are generally of a lower intellect and therefore dont know any better.

having said all that, i met stokesie out paddys night in London, he is the biggest knob ever, especially given that he was at palace at the time or whatever and he isn't that big a name only to a few irish. I know people would say ah sure he was probably drunk, etc etc, but he didnt appear to be drunk at all. Loads of women were getting ****ed off with him as well.

**zackmorris** · 22/09/2009, 7:03 PM

Stokes just scored again against St. Johnstone, thats three in a week against them, so far...

**Diarmo** · 22/09/2009, 7:10 PM

I was in Edinburgh for a few months until recently, and I heard from a few Hibs fans there that there's a silent investor who tops up Stokes' Hibs wages to match his Sunderland ones until that contract reaches its end. Bizarre situation.

I hope he does well but he needs to cut out these sorts of things:

What else is there to do in Eidenburgh? I dont even know how to spell it.

Stokes scored again last night in first minute. However they lost 3-1 at home to Graham Gartland’s St Johnstone in the CIS Cup,

In his boozer in Fairview last night, great place to watch a match to be fair!

**NeilMcD** · 23/09/2009, 10:58 AM

The bar is good, the lounge is a nightmare though. Full of prams and buggies and bottles of 7 up and crisps and tracksuits out for the day.

**Hibernian** · 23/09/2009, 12:45 PM

You think he haved learned his lesson by now.

He has looked the part for Hibs so far but if this lad had cop on he be playing for Arsenal now.

We wondered why Wenger did not keep him at time and we can see now why.
