Theres always one comedian/smartarse :wink:

[mixumatosis]

Hogg, Bamba, Murray, Hanlon, McCormack and Thicot can all play in the centre of defence. I think that's enough cover.

[CropleyWasGod]

... and behind every good comic, there's always a social commentator trying to get out.

My point is that I would very surprised if JH and RP AREN'T working at bringing in another CH. We won't know until/if it happens. So to moan because it isn't APPARENTLY happening is unfair on both of them.

[magnificent_seven]

Hogg, Bamba, Murray, Hanlon, McCormack and Thicot can all play in the centre of defence. I think that's enough cover.

Bamba is more effective in midfield.
Hanlon and McCormack are too inexperienced
Thicot is a bit mince.

A huge centre half who is good in the air and good in the tackle is what we need.

[magnificent_seven]

I'm not moaning about it, im just very impatient and slightly panicky that we are supposedly not signing anymore players and that there is only 3 and a half hours to go!

...and will stay that way without getting games. Neither have looked out of their depth at full back playing out of their regular position. No reason to expect they'd be overwhelmed by being played in their preferred role.

[PeterboroHibee]

Hogg, Bamba, Murray, Hanlon, McCormack and Thicot can all play in the centre of defence. I think that's enough cover.

Yet the 3 goals we have conceded could have easily been avoided. Because we have enough cover doesnt mean they are necessarily good enough.

So does every other team in the league. And how much exactly do you think they cost? Ones that move faster than an arthritic hippo, that is?

Personally, I'd much rather we played someone at CH who was a footballer.

It hardly inspires much confidence having Thicot and McCormack as back up.
Anyone can see how vulnerable we looked with crosses and corners on Sunday. We have lost Rob Jones, our main ball winner in the air. It's not rocket science to know that we need a replacement for him.

I will just like to see how positive and chirpy you guys are in a few months time when we leak ridiculous goals due to not having a decent centre half.

However, I will give it a rest as you say, as having an opinion seems to be lost on the hibs.net message board these days!

I wonder if we should continue that fine tradition and play Wotherspoon at right back. He looks the business to me.

[Golden Bear]

I agree with others that signing a quality right back is the number one priority. Wotherspoon could play there but I don't think his talents are best utilised in that position.

I would also like to see Paul Hanlon playing at centre back as that may be where his strengths lie.

:top marks Some seven foot hunk of meat who gets everything in the air but is put on his erse twelve times a game by any forward faster than Colin Nish....well, any forward then. Aye that's the very man! And not too hard to find - every Junior club in Ayrshire has several of them.

We're trying to build a better football team here. Any player who's not actually a midget, provided he has skill and athleticism, and can read the game, can win balls in the air. And they can do something other than hoof it into the stratosphere when they do win it. How tall is Puyol, again? Not "commanding" enough? You become commanding by being better than your opponent, not just bigger

[Sir David Gray]

I will be a bit disappointed if we don't bring any defensive players in.

It has been fairly obvious to me, ever since the Dunfermline game in pre-season, that we are fine in midfield and up front but are still too fragile at the back.

[Jones28]

Bamba is more effective in midfield.

He has targetted players, and if we dont get them it wont be for the wont of trying.

:agree:

Yogi said that he would bring in "1 or 2" if "3 or 4" moved on. Only players who have been paid up (Keenan and Wilson) or shifted for a minimal loan contribution (Moyes) have been moved out. To create further room for someone to come in he would have had to convince someone to take JJ / Nish / DVZ in part exchange, or sell Bamba. Since he said that he didn't want to sell anyone in his first XI, that kind of restricted his options since (frankly) who would want JJ or DVZ?

Agree - if we've lost no one at 5.00pm, I'm content.

The squad's stronger than it was 4 months ago, and there's no point in just signing someone for the sake of it. That's the way Collins and Mixu wasted so much money.

Yogi appears to have his targets, but if he can't get them, he re-groups and thinks again. Sound policy.

Not too unhappy. Think we got too hyped up by all this Sky nonsense, particularly after the Stokes marquee signing.

We have a decent squad and thankfully all the Bamba-Riordan nonsense was thankfully just that.

Yogi has also gotten rid off some players who were never going to figure; McNeill, Chisholm, Wilson, Keenan and has probably identified ones who might be used as makeweights in January deals.

It's all good and well lamenting the fact that we've still not got a centre half or pacy right back, but you are better waiting for quality to become available than doing the Mixu-JC thing of bringing in dross.

McCann will get fitter, Murray will possibly return to central defence and McCormack is being given a chance.

[frazeHFC]

Can help think that we will pay the price for not bringing in a good solid CH?:rolleyes: Everytime we play it's so obvious we are weak at the back. How much would it have taken to get Darren Barr ?????:rolleyes:


£350k???

Well we can now wait and get him on a pre-contract

Boozy can player CB :greengrin

[Golden Bear]

I can only guess that Yogi has his eye on certain players that come under the heading of "free agents"


:hmmm:

[BravestHibs]

If you didnt read it why post it on here ..?..:confused:

Subscribe..read it then re-read yer post ..:wink:


Aye, good lad.

[magnificent_seven]

Surprised Deane has been released since he only signed a new contract a couple of months ago?

[Billychaotic182]

Was that not under mixu tho

[frazeHFC]

Newcastle have re-signed Lovenkrands only a short time after he left

[smurf]

Isn't that what the official site usually says at the close of the transfer window?

The statement on the players leaving appears a bit 'unfinished' in relation to this transfer window...

Am i just being hopelessly optimistic?

Usually the official site doesn't get around to posting about signings until they have played a couple of games. Notably the Fletcher transfer to Burnley.

[Boozy14]

Anyone suprised that we have let 4 players go today and no one has been brought in,are we trying to cut cost or yogi not got the players he wants????

[magnificent_seven]

Very. God knows what's going on. The squad is wafer thin now.

[forthhibby]

i would say a bit of both, yogi has previously said he wanted to get the squad size down and we know for sure that bids were made for arfield. i'd rather this situation than making token last day signings just to appease the fans

[shamo9]

Free agents:wink:

[Andy]

It leads me to think that because we missed out on Arfield we'll sign Boozy as he is a free agent.

Thoughts??

[Velma Dinkley]

We haven't missed out yet. I would think we might bring in someone on a free and perhaps get one or two on pre-contracts.

[mjhibby]

Is it just me are most of the guys going mixus signings.Might just be coincidence of course.

[eggy1875]

It leads me to think that because we missed out on Arfield we'll sign Boozy as he is a free agent.

We could still sign boozy because free agents can be signed after 5pm :wink:

[TheBall'sRound]

It leads me to think that because we missed out on Arfield we'll sign Boozy as he is a free agent.

Thoughts??

Now that the window is shut, Boozy just became much more attractive to just about every club who is aware of his existence - not just us.

Really really really wanted a defended for my birthday :grr:

[frazeHFC]

Who are the 4 players we have let go today???

DVZ, JJ, Deane and ???

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Wilson and Keenan.

[frazeHFC]

Wilson and Keenan.


So 5, we should get Boozy in :agree: 1 year deal

[Andy]

I agree, it makes sense. Would make the midfield far more creative. His through balls to Stokes and Riordan would create loads of chances. Think they would link up well. I always remember the switch of play to left back to Murphy. Must've happened about ten times a game.

[Boozy14]

Bear in mind we have also lost jones and fletcher,made money from them and free up the wage bill

[sauzee]

think we'll strugle all season with balls coming in from wide areas as was proved on sunday,centre halfs couldn't cope with them,full backs couldn't prevent them,keeper wouldn't come for them,no real height or presence in midfield !! hope i'm so wrong,but it so obvious where we neaded to strengthen

Time on your hands since that sacking in Japan, Alex?

Don't panic. For every one the dodgy defence lets through, Riordan, Stokes and Co. will score two. :greengrin

I agree to an extent but I'm delighted we haven't bought the same level of dross due to the madness of the transfer window closing.

Good to see the initial game plan; promote u19's to full squad and I'm sure that loan deals can still ba arranged after the window closes?? please someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You're corrected, only free agents can be signed.

[MrSmith]

You're corrected, only free agents can be signed.

Grand! Ta much! I'm off to wallow in my ignorance....:boo hoo:

[Perspective]

We can't expect to have every problem position filled, with the right player (crucial) in the space of one window.

It will take Yogi two or three to mould the squad the way he wants it.

Keep the faith!

[Leith Green]

You're corrected, only free agents can be signed.



Hanlon joined st johnstone on a months loan in december last year..
Ahm pretty sure you can send players out on loan to lower league clubs out with the window.. Just not sure of the exact rules for this, or how they can be bended..

[The_Todd]

The disappointment is oozing out of every one of my open jealous wounds

The stark reality is we have lost more first team players than Hearts and signed less players in this window than Hearts. They are in turmoil while we are full of optimism. How is that:confused::confused:

[Part/Time Supporter]

Because they've signed utter dross and Hibs have let go of utter dross for the most part.

[EskbankHibby]

Yogi and 3 victories out of 4 with a narrow defeat to one of the OF.

No doubt about it we have lost good players but Yogi seems to have a plan, understands the game, makes telling substitutions and doesn't panic buy.

We have to give him time to build something. Incidentally i don't think any comparison with Hearts is relevant or justified, they are a ******* mess.

I think you've possibly hit the nail on the head here. There's maybe a method to Beuzelin's madness to wait till the window closed to up the ante on any offers going his way.

[Boozy14]

Be good to see the the big man back,esp now the squad has been reduced,lets just hope we dont get too many injuries or suspensions.It would be good to have Boozy for age and experience and height now,i feel we are a small and young team at present
