The 25 Hibs signings who bombed over the past 10 years

The Hibs signings made over the past decade which did not live up to the hype when they joined the club.

This list could have been at least double the final number, which isn’t a knock on the Hibees. It's just the nature of modern football nowadays with players and managers changing clubs so often that there's always going to be those who struggle to perform in a short space of time.

Not everyone on this list is even a bad player. In fact, the majority will have performed elsewhere, it just didn't work out for them in Leith for whatever reason.

The list doesn’t include anybody presently at the club. Let us know if there's anyone you think escaped it who deserves to be on there...
