Anything ever constructive to say apart from digs at posters?

You all caught up now?

Has he ever even played a game for Man U? McTominay has been in the first team at various points. He’s really got nothing to gain from coming to Scotland. Surely an EPL team/upper Championship team would be interested?

Yes... only once but he has.

Mitchell and McTominay were team mates in the under 23s

I think the general rule of thumb is that anyone playing in England is automatically better than what we have up here.

Don’t buy into that myself but it’s certainly what a lot of people seem to think.

The Gordon Strachan rule for picking Scotland teams.

An England legend, who I assume knows his football, keeps Bryson on the pitch for over 120 minutes playing for a leading Championship team as they beat a Premier League side, yet some of the experts on Hibs.net deem him not to be good enough. You can't make this up.

I don’t need to explain it.....Scott Allan just doesn’t want to comeback to Hibs just now.

I was reacting to your first paragraph and the assumption by some that Allan signing a pre-contract would be a foregone conclusion if Hibs offered one. For the reasons I've laid out I can't see why he would sign one even if he does want to be a Hibs player. I'd like someone to explain why it would be in his interests to do so.

I’ve no inside info at all but my reasoning is this:

SA’s Celtc contract lasts until the summer. He won’t be offered another one.

He won’t get a better offer than Hibs. Sevco don’t want him anymore and no English club is interested. The Dons might try to sign him but the money won’t be a deal breaker and he doesn’t want to move up there.

So he can sign a PCA with us now and then see it out til the summer. Or Celtc offer him a pay off to save cash and try and recoup it from us this month.

Maybe Hibs are saying it’s now or never and Celtc are playing hardball?

Or Allan doesn’t want to risk missing out on a Celtic pay off.

I'm sure the world is bigger than Scotland and England. I don't know Allan but maybe he'd like a shot at the u.s league? Or do what Henderson has done? Still hoping to see him at ER as he was a joy to watch last season.

Which makes the whole rumor sound like pie in the sky. Seems to be an important first team player.

Yes you can. FACT.

**Borderhibbie76** · 16-01-2019 11:28 PM

This thread is getting worse by the day...literally 100s of posts bickering about Allan...whom we don't even know is a target and Bryson...who we simply can't afford.

Awful stuff...jeez Hibs sign someone please just to give us something else to discuss??

These Transfer windows are torture

Hearing Hibs have given a medical to a Greek Defender. Don’t know who it is or if even true just passing on what I’ve been told ( and that ain’t much ) except tall and loves to attack the ball.

Did we not just release one matching that exact description?

That’s exactly what I thought but as I said only passing on what I was told.
Not sure if it’s true or not but at least it’s a rumour.

**SirDavidsNapper** · 17-01-2019 05:51 AM

Pointless info but since Hearts gazumped us by signing Dylan Bikey in the January window a few years back he's gone on to score 1 (one) career goal and is now playing for an obscure Cypriot team.

Do you mean a trial? Or an actual medical and is close to being announced?

Yes yes I know this is a questionable source but I still think it’s better than page after page after page of no rumours and posters bickering about Bryson and Allan

No idea if in any way accurate however you would think that Ryan Gauld would be able to recommend a couple of decent players. Also his language skills could come in handy in getting players to settle if coming from that part of the world.

Strangely tranfermarkt seems to say he's played most of his recent games at RB? Maybe he's versatile up and down the right, sounds like a Lennon player...

***stokesmessiah*** · 17-01-2019 07:04 AM

OOFT a Portugese winger with the name Diogo. That is ticking so many things on my transfer window bingo it is unreal. And to top it off we even have a really bad quality (it is at my end anyway) De Graaf 'esque YouTube video. Where is that Daffy GIF.

Please let it be true !

***Callum_62*** · 17-01-2019 07:12 AM

Guess you dont get capped at every level for Portugal (except seniors) without having something about you
