In the JC era I sat with 2 Crystal P players in my cuz's front room 'exploring options' for 1 or both to join us. Neither happened but neither IIRC even made it into the media. Posters who don't think informal contact goes on all the time are living in a dream world.

Who were the players?

“I personally think”

It’s absolutely guess work, apologies if that wasn’t clear.

It’s amazing how hard folk are trying to discredit people’s opinions.

I think when we played our last game we had 11 players missing due to injury and international duty. That in my opinion is unusually bad luck? but you do have point a couple more in the summer would have been good, but no one could have imagined how bad our injury luck was going to be?

Agreed we've been dreadfully unlucky with injuries and international call ups not to mention work permit issues. However Summer recruitment was slow and poor and so far this window seems to be the same...I really thought we'd have recruited more than a 6 month loan deal during the 3 week winter break. Looks like it's gonna be more last minute shopping towards the end of Jan. Let's hope it's quality and not just what s left

This place will go into meltdown if we make a few decent signings this window.

I really don't understand the Allan situation at all, the guy is available now to sign a pre contract at the very least, the fact nothing has happened leads me to think the following
1) we've tried but failed because we can't afford him
2) we don't want him but are a bit reluctant to let the fans know that.

3) (whisper) he doesn't actually want to join Hibs

Who cares if Allan or anyone else I signing - there are still tickets left for the 80's night.

[SirDavidsNapper]

There will be a lot of hard work going on at Hibs right now regarding transfers. Just need to have faith and let it play out. No point getting frustrated at something we can't influence.

It’s amazing how hard folk are trying to discredit people’s opinions.

There are opinions based on some logical thought process and there are 'opinions' that are just a bunch of words. For example; "I think the earth is flat." No logical thought process whatsoever. And then such a comment is to be regarded as fact, and not to be analysed because; "That is my opinion and I am entitled to it."

Prosecution Counsel; "I think he killed her. Case closed"
Defence Counsel; "I think someone else did. Case closed."

Judge; WTF?

How I yearn for the era in football when the first you knew about a signing was on the back page of the daily rag. What will be will be. Too much information and most of it inaccurate in this day and age.

[blackpoolhibs]

I find it unbelievable in this day and age that some folk still believe a word that comes out of any managers mouth.

It's their job to lie and deceive, yet we still have folk putting up quotes from Lennon as if they are a fact.

I think when people claim their opinion to be a fact, then it's fair to challenge it.

I'll let you have some fun working it out. The #1 target was to be the 3rd of Tommy Craig's signings after Brian Kerr & AOB. The 2nd, not originally planned, played hundreds of games in top 2 English leagues & could feature in EPL this weekend!

You are a tease Mr R!

Spot on Michael.. I have carefully considered that option previously. I've already dumped social media.

[Jones28]

Not Hibs related but I see Bournemouth are on the cusp of signing a 21 year old CB from Brentford for £15m! I wonder what this would put the value of SJM at to a premier league club?

Nobody does that though. Someone gives a difference opinion and it’s “prove it” etc.

But I thought injuries were to blame for Hearts going on a poor run? Do the same rules not apply when it’s Hibs?

Imagine if we had lost 5-0 at Livi!!!

Would be even worse if the team that lost 5-0 to Livi went on to beat Hib... never mind.

[Speedway]

The silence would suggest that you need to be a stronger salesman than GC to sell Hibs to established players who can make 3 times what we offer by sitting on another's club's subs bench.

Nelom appears to be in London in his Instagram story.

Looks like he is in a surgery clinic.

People should accept differing views. I think however, when they are stated as fact, then those views are open to scrutiny.

Maybe his haircuts being surgically removed to lower the strain on his knees.

There's absolutely no doubt the board are backing Lennon. In fact that's one criticism i have never been able to throw at the board, even before Dempster's time. We've always pushed the boat out to get players the manager wants. Apart from Collins throwing a hissy fit because he couldn't get 1 million for Naismith. The board can't help it if who the manager wants turns out to be rubbish.

I don't think Naismith 11 - 12 years ago would have been a bad signing, and on the fee it would have been on a long contract he would probably have found his form and got sold on for a lot more than a million, IMO Collins wasn't being unrealistic he was asking for the money on the back of the selling of the golden generation and was showing a bit of ambition for the club.

Hibs have made no offers to Scott Allan or Celtic.

If Celtic dont release him we wont be signing him.
