4 seasons ago we were in the 2nd division, for 3 seasons, last season was our first season back in the 1st division, and we did so well we qualified for Europe.

I dont think we are ready or will be ready for a real challenge in Europe for a few seasons yet.

Why then does our manager say he targeting the group stages, bravado ?

What else would you expect him to say?

Of course he is targeting it and whoever we play he’ll expect us to win.

I’m sure there’s also a huge element of realism in there too though and he knows our success this season won’t be defined by reaching the group stages or not.

Post of the night! Agree completely.

Why worry so much then? And why, if you are worrying, do you need to publish the fact?

So unless you’re ITK you should just not bother posting? Or unless you’re happy with where we are then don’t bother?

I agree with this and I think all the fans realise that we’re unlikely to make it to the groups even if we make 4 good signings before the Greek games. I do think though that Lennon will be looking for at least a couple of signings before they games to be able to make a decent fist of it. If they don’t come in I’d imagine he’ll be pretty furious.

As others have said, he's not going to say we are getting pumped.

We should be through this round, and i'm pretty sure we will have more signings in soon, probably befor the next round.

The next round is against a team where we have a chance even with the team we have now, and we will be stronger, although they will probably sign players too, like every club in the world.

Nobody is finished with their signings yet.

Never said that the management and player recruitment team have I'm sure done there bit and come up with a list of players.
The directors tasked with bringing them in and a hell of a job that must be in this modern football world have clearly not managed to bring in who NL wanted at least not yet anyway.
And as I alluded to the lack of NL comments is well not like him

Lennon did talk a little about the transfer situation in his press conference before the match last week.

And everyone else knows he won’t be furious. As long as he knows we are targeting the right players and the quality he is looking for he will be fine. You are just a a attention seeking bed wetter.

You know that do you? Personal digs are a bit pathetic pal.

Not as pathetic as your daily panicking. You just need to accept that everyone at Easter Road is doing the best they can and not sitting on their hands. Transfers take time to happen if you want players who have options. Who have we missed out on so far?

Does anyone know of we have given celtic first refusal on John mcginn?

Why on earth would Hibs give anyone first refusal(whatever that is) on our top player who is under contract to Hibs for another 12months?

Taking personal digs at people on the internet for having a different opinion to you is the sort of behaviour you’d expect from a 12 year old. I have no idea who we’ve missed out on, neither do you, neither does 99% of this board. It doesn’t mean we can’t discuss it. Infact if we only discussed things we knew were facts rather than opinions the board would rarely have any new posts.

Problem is you are not discussing anything. You are just moaning and panicking for no reason. You deserve to be called out on it and have been over the last few weeks by a few folk. The bottom line is you will need to be patient. Hibs future does not depend on beating a Greek team. Ideally we will but if we don’t it is not the end of the world. I would far rather we waited on sealing the right deal than getting a Rowan Vine. Complaining every day will not change anything.

I’ve discussed plenty. A discussion doesn’t mean I need to convert to whoever I’m discussing withs way of thinking. As I’ve said elsewhere, if you don’t like my posts, pop me on your ignore list and you’ll not need to get upset over my posts to the point you start taking digs at people over the internet and dressing it up as you doing a public service by “calling me out”.

Anyway, fingers crossed for some new signings within the next week.

That would be bliss, “quality not quantity” in action.

And why would St Mirren have signed up to a deal like that when we acquired their prize asset? I don’t know why but it seems like people are looking at possible scenarios where we wouldn’t have to give any cash to St Mirren for John McGinn. That would only happen if he saw out his contract and walked for nothing.

Perhaps I'm misremembering but was there not also the situation that J McG & his agent were threatening the club with legal action after John was kebab'd in the thigh by Steven Thomson during some training session high jinks?
Before he came to us I'm sure I heard/read it somewhere that he wanted his release to be unhindered or else he pursue a personal injury claim,,,, could be garbage though.

no, you're correct, i obviously don't know if that's why we got him on the cheap, i also believe this 33% figure that gets banded about is far too high a %

Your last point confirmed by Leeann who believes we’re ahead of schedule for our Europa League ambitions.

It may have been requested and agreed at some point with all the players we have had from celtic over the last few seasons.
Contract time is irrelevant.
A simple mechanism where by other teams cannot bid and they have first chance to pay the valuation the club put on the player.

It's no big deal ancient might explain why no news on other bids that's all

I doubt if that existed, but in any case, we got McGinn from St Mirren and he has/had heehaw to do with Celtic. Why would we give Celtic first refusal on any player totally disconnected with them?

[matty_f]

Bit more on Horgan, it's us that have stalled the deal as we've potentially got alternatives lined up. The Record is reporting the boy Johnston from Celtc, there may also be movement on Barker but we will need to wait for him.

Was told any of the three could sign, Horgan most likely through to Barker least likely.

Fair enough. Thanks!

[Ronniekirk]

Aiden Smith in the Scotsman (Hibs fan) now certain Mcginn going to Celtic and some papers reporting Mcginn himself has told Hibs he wants to go to them
So the pressure is being cranked up and Celtic reluctant to pay more then 2.5!Million plus a player
The Winger Johnston being mentioned again on Loan for a year
If we got that plus Scott Allan I would be happy enough

According to Herald today, 2.5m plus Allan will be next offer and McGinn wants to go to Celtic.
