Kelvin Wilson, the 31-year-old defender who played under Hibernian head coach Neil Lennon at Celtic and is out of contract this summer with relegated Rotherham United, has revealed he has held talks with the Scottish Championship winners.

Touching base in case we don't get Ambrose I'd imagine.

Would think Fontaine is away. Hope not, love the big man!

Aye but he would be alright with a good pre season behind him.

He would certainly have been a decent signing a season or two ago but I think he hardly got any game time last season in a seriously struggling Rotherham side. Did he pick up an injury or something?

Notched up a decent number of appearances for Celtic and Forest.

He sounds just like my father-in-law but he wasn't Australian.

Thought we had Ambrose till January... he needs to stay in Scotland for 5 more months to get his citizenship...

I'd imagine we made contact incase we couldn't get Efe. I'd be very surprised now if he signed (assuming EA is staying)

Hanlon
McGregor
Forster
Ambrose
Fontaine (maybe)
Porteous

Should be sufficient for the season

We seem to be linked with every ex Celtic player going just now. They're not all going to sign and tbh I'm not sure we need Wilson.

[pacoluna]

Thought he left celtic because he was home sick?

[NAE NOOKIE]

This is a guy who doesn't appear to have been able to get a game in the back 4 of a club that shipped 98 goals last season, albeit in a 46 game campaign.

I'm not too concerned at the moment because most of this stuff is just media rumour, but I hope we aren't going to only be looking at aged Celtic and ex Celtic players ...... Its only natural that because of who our manager is we will be linked with any player with Celtic links who becomes available, but I would like to see a few rumours linking us with other folk too.

If half of the players we have been linked to so far, not forgetting Danny Swanson, were to arrive at the club and McGinn and Cummings were to leave it would drive up the average age of the team to a level that would make me wonder if it was healthy for the club.

Marciano ........... 27 .... still young for a keeper
Gray ................. 29
McGregor ........... 31 ... 32 in August
Hanlon .............. 27
Wilson ............... 31
Ambrose ............ 28
Stevenson .......... 29
Swanson ............ 30
Commons........... 33 ..... 34 in August
Fyvie ................. 24
Stokes ............... 28 ..... 29 in July

The average age of the 10 outfield players in that team by the end of August would be 29 ...... If we were to keep Fontaine and add Mulgrew for example that wouldn't exactly drive the average age down either. I'm not suggesting a team with those players wouldn't be competitive, but where are the youngsters and where is the sell on value?

[Keyser Sauzee]

I'd rather Fontaine signed on that Wilson tbh but I don't think fonts will.

He hardly sounds bursting to play for Hibs if the media report is accurate.

Let's hope Santa got him his ******* bike and he uses it to stay well away from Hibs.

Love that song

No thank you. Rather have hanlon, Mcgregor & effe. Forster & Porteous back up.

I like Fonts but I think it might be time to move on. We should always be looking to move forward and improve where we can. Fonts has a great attitude and is as brave as a lion, but hes slow and has the turning cirlcle of the QE2 (that was a boat for our younger readers ) and isnt too cleverwith his passsing and general ball distribution. He's at a stage in his career where he will want game time and Im not sure hes going to get much with us anymore with Hanlon, DazM, Effe on short term and Forster all ahead of him IMO in the pecking order. I would rather see someone who can make a serious challenge for a berth in the back line, especially when Effe goes if its true he's only here until January.

Fonts is better on the ball than Forster and McGregor and is a much better player than Forster.

Sorry MW just cant agree with that. We'll have to agree to disagree.

Yeah - totally agree
MacGregor a better defender, Hanlon best on the ball.

Fontaine is horrendous on the ball. Constantly gives away possession.

This. I really like Fonts but his distribution is awful.

No, hes not. There is a reason Fonts always plays on his prefered side and we dont play 3 at the back without him. Moves forward with the ball and passes it well.

[Mideon]

Think Lennon needs to use his imagination more. Plus let's get strikers in

If anything in this Wilson would be a cracking addition no nonsense centre half and would be good in the big games
