Summer transfer thread

[500miles]

I can't believe people are talking about loaning a player with Shaw's scoring record, including big games, to a championship team. It's mind blowing. It's as if we're suddenly too big to develop our own players and need others to do it for us.

Exactly Shaw should be going nowhere but is also not a main hold up striker (yet)

It's not really.

It's just that people are basing their opinion on what they are seeing in a game, not his stats.

When i saw him last season i was far from convinced, this season he's really started to win me over but Saturday got me thinking if he is going to be of the standard we want to get to. Could he be a good SPFL striker and have a decent career ahead of him? Yes, i think he probably could. Will it be for a team wanting to compete for European places? I've got my doubts.

My concern about him isn't anything to do with his strength, i just don't think that will ever be his game. I just felt he is a bit one paced. I genuinely don't meant this in a negative way but he reminds me a bit of Colin Nish. Nish had a decent scoring record in spells and had a pretty good career, i don't think he'd be of the standard we are looking for now though.

I think the modern striker needs to either be quick, strong or able to come a bit deeper and play the number 10 role. I don't really see Shaw fitting into any of those roles. I'd be delighted to be proven wrong though.

Shaws good young back up with potential

Hes not ready to be up top on his own

Hopefully we hear something on Milligans work permit soon. The sooner he's in and training with Lennon and the team the better. I've got a good feeling about him. Think we may have played a blinder.

I'm not sure if it's a case of him not being ready, i don't think he will ever be the type of striker that plays up front himself.

I think he needs someone beside him (Kamberi) to take the physical hits and he can do the other stuff. If Jamie Maclaren started the game i think we'd have seen a similar performance as he's never a lone striker either. I don't think anybody would be saying he wasn't ready though, that's just not his game.

Definitely agree with that. Shaw isn’t that kind of striker just because he’s tall. He’s a goal poacher/finisher.

Not really Boyle is a fantastic wide player for us and I blame our manager for persisting with him up front when he cannot play that position. He has missed I don't know how many 1 on 1s already this season yet seems to be free from criticism whilst young Shaw is getting slated?? I really like Boyle and he gives 110% every week but his finishing is just woeful at times and he gave Ollie little support as a strike partner at weekend

Boyle can clearly play that position whether it is his best is another thing. To call him utterly useless as a striker is incredibly harsh. With McLaren getting up to speed and Kamberi injured seemed reasonable to play him there what with Gray playing well also.

I’d love to see a front four of Boyle and Horgan wide.
Kamberi and MacLaren in centre.

They're both good at tracking back and getting stuck in so it could work

Just saw a tweet on some hibs fans twitter saying Steven Fletcher returning on loan. No idea if there's any truth in it.

Surely you must know if it's true that you saw a tweet?

Mallan has a great set piece and has a good hit on him...but there's no doubt he is taking time to adjust to his new role.

At the moment he's too soft.

Fletch is still involved with the Sheffield Wednesday squad so I think this is unlikely.

If that’s true he should offer us more money for the honour of wearing the jersey! 😄

[Souter96Mac]

I'd be more than happy if we finished this week with Allan coming in. If I was being extra greedy, another forward for depth and left back cover.

He's a Hibs man, money shouldn't be an obstacle to playing for his boyhood heroes.

Shannon was definitely a thing pre relegation when he was, if we're being honest, a powderpuff *****bag at times prior to the man up lessons he seems to have taken.

I seriously resent this post.....

There is so much wrong with this post ..it’s hard to know where to start..

I’ll start though by saying I’ve never - at any time - heard that term used ....

There is some serious revision going on if no one remembers Hanlon struggling to get through 90 minutes without bursting into tears up against various SPL huddies prior to relegation.

Eh? He was injured and didn't play in the relegation run in. Many fans me included don't think we would have got relegated had he been fit.

Hanlon did used to get dominated by the likes of Higdon, but there wasn’t many in the league that could contain him in the season that he out scored Griffiths.

We were a shambles at the back for the majority of his stint at Hibs. No surprise that he’s improved playing beside the likes of Fontaine and McGregor opposed to Michael Nelson.
