Out of interest, how comes Whittaker gets his own press conference and SSN coverage?

Is he really seen as that much of a major signing?

I'd say it's the media that decide that? Every signing gets an offical unveiling, medias choice if they turn up or not

I don't suppose it's anything to do with one of the clubs that he formerly played for.

Close season and no other big deals happening around the same time.

If he'd joined the same day Lukaku went to Man United there probably wouldn't be a peep in the press.

Norwich? no, I can't see them being that influential up here.

Don't worry mate, if you worry about over exposure of Hibs or Scottish football in general scan the BBC's 'text' pages every day ... they have a gossip section and a news in brief section, both of which often run to several pages ... on this facility paid for out of UK wide license fees you might once a fortnight find a bit about Celtic, or less often Sevco, but any mention of Hibs or any other Scottish club is practically non existent ...... the good news is if you have an interest in English non league football and follow teams like Eastleigh, Gateshead or Forest Green Rovers you will find details of any of their new signings or transfer rumours .... whereas Hibs signing Simon Murray or Steven Whittaker or rumours of an interest in Anthony Stokes are deemed not worthy of mention it would seem.

If you want to listen to Scottish football being destroyed rather than just see it ignored in print tune into 'Talk Sport' .... I spent a pleasant hour or so the other day listening to Scottish football being ripped apart with not a single good word being spoken, anybody with the temerity to phone in with a good word was given short shrift ..... in that hour and a couple of times in the shows afterwards reasonable criticism descended into something approaching ridicule.

Good grief, a comment about Hibs exposure, there has been thread after thread complaing about no exposure.

[pacoluna]

Interesting to hear whittaker's view regarding experience in playing in either of the old firm and it being beneficial to Hibs. Lennon, whittaker, Ambrose, Mcgregor Mcgeouch, possibly Stokes. One thing we certainly don't lack is experience and winners.

What do folks make of this?

No idea how reliable this is, but someone is saying on twitter we are looking at Bray Wanderers players (third in Irish league) who are entering admin?

Can't say I buy it at all, nor have I ever heard of a single Bray player, so could probably write it off.

Seems a strange one, and a quick check suggests that the ones with a WIKI page aren't too impressive, Clancy used to play for us tho!!!!

This suggest there could be some truth in it.... Bray are in financial trouble so they players have all requested to be transfer listed to enable them to seek employment at other clubs, their transfer window closes July 31st.

[seanoheimhin]

Not sure if Bray are the sort of team we will find many gems at, but I think we could do far worse than try pick up on some of the better players from LoI a couple of seasons before English Championship teams catch on to them.

There's an increasingly long list of players going over later to England for very little money and doing well at championship level

See my previous link..... more legit, nothing about hibs, but does give a little legitimacy to the other link.

Nearly everything about it does - just thought it might be worth a discussion, esp since it does seem legit that all the players are transfer listed.

Can the players do a Whitto and walk away for free ?

Apparently so, hence Big Davy's arrival.

Stokes next and then 3 more to finish.
