Nice , looking forward to the rest of the season.
Would be outstanding if we can get Allan in and at least one forward and a wide player.

I don’t want to jump the gun here but he may have signed.

**machibby** · 19-01-2019 05:53 PM

Looks decent from the clip on his Instagram

**Big_Franck** · 19-01-2019 06:09 PM

I know we've seen some great highlight reels before, only for the boy to turn out to be gash, but here is Omeonga's.

He has played against some decent opposition. Looking forward to seeing him!

Pedant alert. Scott Allan was only on loan once. When he joined in 2014 it was a two year permanent deal.

Pedant alert... 2 years is not 'permanent'

The way he battled for the ball in one of those clips was so similar to John McGinn’s style.

Very impressed by that. Good technique, plenty tricks, strong, and direct. Hopefully he can contribute like that over full games.

Do we announce new signings on Sundays or will we be kept waiting until tomorrow?

***Hermit Crab*** · 20-01-2019 09:44 AM

4pm today.

I really don't understand people's aversion to loan signings. Can't help feeling that this complaint is only trotted out when the team is not performing.

Baffles me as well. It’s rare that we sign a player on more than a 1 or a 2 year deal anyway

Only problem with loan players, is they are not yours and can be pulled back at any time ( look at Gregg Stewart) and leave you in the lurch!
Plus, why spend money on East Mains and youth if your forever bringing in loan players to fill gaps?

I can think of Marciano, Kamberi, Mallan and Horgan as recent examples of players signed for 3+ years.

It's not like we have had to use some of the younger boys who have come through the academy

Porteous
Gullan
Shaw
Mackie

And we have Fraser Murray who there are high hopes for.

We started with Mackie yesterday who is a East Mains product. There were 3 more on the bench of which 2 came on. I don't think that us bringing in some loan players is hampering the youth development.

I don't agree with the view that loan players somehow try less than players on full contracts. Yes we have had players on loan who have been poor but we have also had players signed on long term deals that have been rubbish as well.

Seems that as soon as a few results go badly people look for scapegoats and loan players are an easy target.

I doubt that we could have got Bogdan on a permanent deal so no complaints about getting him on loan.

We were all (mostly) delighted when we got Jamie Mac back on loan and were desperate to get Brandon back so happy to do similar business with Man City for Agyepong.

We could not get Ryan Gauld on anything but a loan.

Indeed in the January window you are often looking more at loans than transfers as teams try to refresh their squads for minimal outlay until they can do more permanent business in the summer.

Sometimes a short term fix is what is required.

Didn’t we sign Mackie from Raith?

Slivka was also a 3 year deal.

We signed SJM on a 4 year contract when we were in the Championship.

I think any squad is likely to be a mix of permanent contracts, short term loans and youth players. Hibs seem to have the balance about right just now.

Fair point. Been at Hibs for 3 years now. Still a development player who is now breaking through to the 1st team rather than straight in there.

Originally at Hibs and was told too small, went to Raith and re signed at 16 yr, so you could say he's came through our Dev squad.

Is that really what happened? Dunno why every time a young player is released people claim it's because he was "too small"

Fair play if I'm wrong but I can't imagine us still doing that in this day and age
