Nobody has ever suggested that.

No they arent but what if the players we are targetting arent available until 2 weeks from now? Sign other 'lesser'players or wait for who we want?

and thats going to be the argument throughout time

It could be we are waiting on better players, similarly, it could mean we are missing our targets

I dont think its unfair to have expected a bit more movement though (lack of rumours probably isnt helping the folk who expect more signings)

Celtic and Aberdeen are very much like ourselves and been relatively ‘inactive’ on the face of things, but with lots going on in the background - including the McGinn transfer.

I’m happy that we’re looking at quality and that our targets have at least a pre-season under their belts with current clubs, or indeed training at the World Cup to keep them fit.

So you reckon there are suitable players available to be signed right now but we're just not doing it? What do you want done about this? Everyone just to work a bit faster?

I think we have done really well in the transfer market over the last few windows. We had the exact same discussions last year about lack of signings and went onto to have our best league season in years? Do folk think that we wont sign anyone else.? I think that NL and LD have targets in mind and we will go after the right players that they want.

Not faster, just more efficiently. We should bring our targets to a darkened room at East Mains and waterboard them until they agree to sign.......

I heard from a good source Petrie brought back 20 Cuban cigars from his holidays and they've gone missing, says we're not signing Scott Allan until the culprit owns up to it. They need to get the finger out

Ozy going by his last post seems to think its easy just to go out and get players, implying Hibs weren't bothering.

I don't believe that's the case but I guess you knew that anyway.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Quality over quantity. If it takes us longer to get the right player(s) in then so be it. It worked last season. I trust our recruitment team.

Container loads of no marks that cost nothing is the future.

There's agents who deliver them to your door and before you know where you are you have a squad of 40 plus malaury Martin the free kick specialist hanging around like a bad smell☺

I'll wait until the end of the transfer window before I judge how (I think) our signings have went this summer. Until then, I am happy to trust that the more than competent team at Easter Road have everything under control and know what they are doing.

It's often nearer the end of the window that rabbits are pulled from hats in any case

Is this a Hibs.net myth that players valuation get added on to a sell on fee?

Yup.

Otherwise we value Christie at a fiver and give St Mirren a couple of quid.

I think all plans hinge on the mcginn situation. When he is sold it will set off our plans.
For that reason, it's in everyone's interests to get that sorted ASAP.

We have our Biggest Budget for Players and Back room staff That doesn't include anticipated money from Mcginn sale I assume .
So while I am sure that will assist us when he does go ,we can't of been relying on that
So with the Greek Tie in mind . couple with our aim of progressing to the Group Stages of the Euro Competition , there was an expectation that we would need to strengthen before that one Unless of course Lennon has had them watched and thinks we can progress without any further additions
I would think the fact we are prepared to let Murray go has to indicate we are close to brining img in a Striker and Think Lennon behind the scenes will be pushing for a few deals to be completed if he thinks they are needed for Europe

Surely it would make sense for celtic to give us for example 300k more than the agreed price between the 2 teams for mcginn then we buy Allan for 300k. Kind of a loophole so we don't need to pay st mirren part of what Allan is worth

You're no a businessman. Celtic can give us a fiver for taking him off their hands and St Mirren can kiss oor erchies......

Stitching St Mirren up isn't the way Hibs should operate and I'm sure they won't.

In any case, if Celtc gave us extra for McGinn, we'd have to pay 30% of it to St Mirren.

You’re right what you say about Celtic and Aberdeen in terms of incoming players. But they haven’t lost the same level of player as we have.

We’re weaker at this point in time and that’s maybe not the case for them though. I know Aberdeen have lost McLean but they seem to have replaced him with a decent level of player. Whereas we are down Allan, MacLaren, McGeough and Barker and have only replaced one of them.

I’ve been pretty impressed by what we have done, we’ve pushed the boat out in terms off fees etc. But I’d like to see something further happen this week ahead of the next round in Europe.

Given that we were to have our biggest budget for players excluding the McGinn money and given that it would be best for Hibs to complete a separate purchase for SA, what is stopping the club going ahead just now and completing that deal before before we meet the Greeks in the next round of European competition.

I remember post upon post, thread upon thread in 2016/17 where you said our signings were all rubbish and Lennon couldn't sign a player. Now you're wanting us to rush into signings without due diligence.

The club know what they're doing. We have signed so many quality players over the last 4 years. How many more before you trust them?

That’s a damn fine point! Dunno why I said we’d give St Mirren a few quid if we signed Christie!

Maybe if it was Allan.....
