Great dummy and finish from Bryson.

Box to box midfielder that scores goals?

unfortantly him starting and scoring would make it seem like my mate got it wrong.

Regardless of how he plays tonight, if Bryson is on £20k - £30k per week, there is not a cats chance in hell he will sign for Hibs.

He can earn in 6 months at Derby what he'd earn at Hibs in 4 years. Complete non starter if wages being quoted are correct.

If Hibs really wanted Scott Allan and we were his first choice, on a reduced wage, you would think that we would have him on a pre contract by now. Celtic cannot stop this happening

With the risk that he could go elsewhere it must be that he is not a priority signing for Lennon or he does not want to come back.

The transfer window is mostly fantasy, with probably 1% of rumours actually resulting in the said player signing.

My feeling is that Hibs are biding their time and looking at the whole transfer window when any number of players could become available. Hibs will be conscious of making more transfer errors. Will again be a last minute rush just the same as most clubs.

I hope Hibs don’t sign many more short term loans. We are an inconsistent and struggling side this season and expecting a number of loans fitting in quickly is fanciful. Was different with loans fitting into a good Hibs side last year.

I am not for one moment saying that we give up on this season. We should be building a side for the long term with no more than 2 or 3 loan players in the squad. To have more than this means we will again have a revolving door come summer.

Given what I've said here:

Does Scott Allan actually want to sign a pre-contract? He would lose the option of other clubs making him an offer, commit himself to a much lower wage than he is currently on and potentially compromise his bargaining position for a pay off from Celtc. On the other hand I don't see that he has much to gain from it.

Maybe it's Allan and his agent that are the sticking point.

Can you explain why Scot Allan would sign a pre-contract?

Been in a couple of papers.

Think it was the sun that said initially it was us and Rangers after him and then the daily express the other day said it was just us.

Think it’s the daily express that have a decent record regarding stories about us.

Well ok, thanks for that, I can't believe any Scottish team other than the gruesome twosome could afford him so why would he drop his wages so drastically? Doesn't make sense to me, maybe other reasons.

**~~Speedway~~** · 16-01-2019 08:20 PM

Bryson’s anonymous tonight.

Apart from the goal that was chopped off, a couple of crosses into the box and linking play with the forwards you are right

Norwich didn't fancy Naismith
If reports are correct Hearts were/are picking up a sizeable chunk of his salary?

So the fact he didn’t score, his crosses came to nothing and doing the absolute basics required of him.

Impressive.

Apparently his Mrs is due a baby and he wants to get a move back to Scotland.

Can’t see it myself although I wouldn’t class it as ‘fantasy’ stuff to be honest, he’s a box to box midfielder who’s best years are behind him, the offernof a two or three year deal could be appealing to someone who is approaching the end of their career.

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.

What has that got to do with how Bryson is playing? The poster said he has been annonymous, he hasn't, nothing to do with what country he plays in

Ok accept fantasy stuff was a bit of hyperbole on my part😊

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

Do you know this for fact or is it just your opinion?

Different set of circumstances.

There is absolutely no way Bryson will come to Hibs in this window if he only has 6 months of his contract to run at Derby.

Who in their right mind would take a £20k a week drop in wages when their contract is due to expire at the end of the season.

**Hibee Mac** · 16-01-2019 09:09 PM

Only watched from the 2nd half onwards, Bryson not done much of note. He also does not appear to have that grit and energy that we are desperately missing in midfield.

How hard is it to find a young box to box midfielder with a bit of promise? Doesn't have to be a superstar just energy and a relative all rounder

Would imagine Solskjaer would have a decent opinion of us as a club after the Europa games, which couldn't do any harm.

I can't believe that If he thought that we were the best place for the player to develop wages would be an issue - he'll be pennies in the Utd scheme of things. He seems pretty forward thinking and being caretaker probably affords him the opportunity to think a bit more long term, in a slightly backwards logic.

If Lennon went all guns blazing to get him in I don't think it would be laughed out the room, but I expect he'll have no shortage of offers.

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?
