Id imagine its utter pash

Even if they had a falling out, I dont think Lennon could just 'stay away'

[Mikey09]

Reading some posts my point is this. Do people seriously think Lennon won't sign strikers?! I'll say it again, I'd rather be patient and get the right player than use the scatter gun approach and sign any random! Stockton anyone? Would you be happy with that? Lafferty may be a good signing but would you want a welt like him disrupting our fantastic player bond Stubbs and Lennon worked so hard to create. No. I trust Lennon to add not just quality players but ones who have the attitude and personality to fit into this current squad. That should never be underestimated. Chill out... Signings are on there way.

More like the jumbos willing it to be true , I really think there will be 6 or 7 signings ,with 2 being quite big ones, I get it its crap in the close season , but this is a club on the up ,

Slightly off topic I know, but has there been any updates on our injured trio, Hanlon , McGeough, and Fonts ?

[Glory Lurker]

Ooooooooooooooo........ The main story on the Sun's back page is embargoed until later. Only one story would be big enough to justify this........

Paul down south for a week seeing specialist

[MyJo]

Marciano - Get him back
Maclean - Whittaker?
Fyvie - Henderson?
Keatings - Murray
Shinnie - Swanson
Harris - Pennant?
Holt - Ciftci?
Cummings - Moult?

not disagreeing that we need to be signing players but i would rather we got the best available for our budget and i would rather take the time needed to do that than chuck £5k a week at Kyle f***ing Lafferty just because the fans are impatient.

Sounds reasonable.

Really hope he's back fit in time for next season. Massive player for us.

Rangers have signed Portugal?

[Diclonius]

Our two rivals have their first choice strikers sorted out now.

Aberdeen: Rooney/Stewart
Hearts: Lafferty/Goncalves
Hibs: ?

Up to us to get ours over the line. I trust in Dempster/Lennon to get it done.

We don't know who their first choice strikers were.

Don't think Stewart is a striker. Think they want Stevie May.

I mean it in terms of their squad status, not signing targets.

[Unseen work]

Not a chance will we get Moult.

Ciftci? Probably if we were interested although he hasn't done much in years.

Great at setting up defensive walls

[MacGruber]

Starting to feel a bit like last season waiting for the striker and it going on for months. The longer it went on the more some panicked and the more others thought it would be an exceptional striker because we had taken our time and not rushed anything. Turned out to be Brian Graham we had been waiting on.
Now, the aim was promotion and that was achieved so I'm not overly fussed now. Just wary of a repeat anti-climax

[MacGruber]

Whittaker isnt a done deal yet either.
Hopefully soon though

It's reminding me more of 10/11 (lost Stokes after the season started, replaced him with Darryl Duffy) and 13/14 (eventually replaced Griffiths/Doyle with Collins/Vine).

Then I remind myself it's not even July yet and we'll be fine.

[Just Jimmy]

I'll be honest, I always felt Stubbs' recruitment was better than Lennon's.

If you take Ambrose out the picture (who is a top signing but worked with Lennon before) I'm not sure I like how Hibs recruitment is going. We've gone from having a clear philosophy of signing young players with potential to grow and sell on, to now what appears to be signing older players who may or may not 'do a job'. Whilst there is room for some of these players in the squad, I can't say I'm excited by them being our main transfer links all summer. Whilst Aberdeen (the actual 2nd best team in the country) are replacing good players they lost with good players.

That said, the club may well be working to bring in the previous type of player, I just feel the lack of links is a little bit concerning at this point.

NC still has 2 years on his Celtic contract. He won't be in a hurry to take a massive pay cut. Maybe a loan if he can't find another club but that would probably make it nearer the end of the window.

[Pedantic_Hibee]

I'm leaving this forum for a few days. It's depressing.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

We just got 1millon odd for jc .... im going to be very disheartened if we dont spend money on a decent striker.....it seems that whenever we sell players the moneys never put back into the team

5 of those are ? .. It is July in twa days and the players are back at training.

Hibs are never fully prepared for the kick-off

This season will be no different

[Keyser Sauzee]

It's not about the transfer fees as such these days, it's the wages. Spending a good bit of the JC transfer will only get us a player who's wages we can't afford which is why we won't splash a lot of money on any signings as a fee, the money will go to players who are probably going to cost us nothing in fees but demand a decent wage
