Hibs in for more than one Carlisle player

[Penrith Hibee]

Extremely reliable source tells me that as well as Keogh we are after another one whose name I can't mention yet. Source says Keogh is the business and will be sorely missed by them.

quick look at carlisle utd mad message board and it seems to be these two that are out of contract now that they are dissapointed to be losing so guessing it's one of them :dunno:

[Hibbyradge]

It's always good when the details of our transfer targets are leaked in advance. :bitchy:

If these players are coming to the end of their deals, why haven't Hibs signed them pre contract already? Does that have to happen in the window too?

Anyway, I'm not holding my breath.

A few folk have posted that the following have tunred sown contracts so far;

Anyinsah, Horwood, Raven, Dobie, Pidgeley, and ofcourse Keogh.

Poster also says that,

'Only get money for Keogh if he stays in England though, if he ends up at Hibernian we get naff all.'

I take it this is down to this foreign transfer rule?

Garry O'Connor to sign for £200k plus John Rankin to Birmingham to shore up the engine room.

Hibs are also to move for upcoming Pollok star Chris Brophy. Who has netted 34 goals this season from the left side of midfield.

Sol Bamba will move to Fulham for £1.6M

Hibs will replace these two Central defensive rocks by bringing in :

Zander Diamond and Ritchie Foster (Aberdeen) £300k

David Van Zanten will also rejoin former club Hibs after impressing at Hamilton.

Anthony Stokes will join Celtic for £4.5M with Paul Caddis and Pat McCourt moving in the other direction.

Why are we aiming to sign players from Carlisle for christs sake no disrespect ive no doubt keogh is a good player but why not try for quality in the continent :confused:

Lower league england defenders is exactly the type of players we need, bit of strength, grit and experience(in some cases). For me it's the forward looking players where we look for quality from the continent.

How do you know hes not better than what we already have? Really think thats a nothing argument, you regularly see clubs picking up gems from lower league clubs.

There is a risk obv, but theres also a good chance a player you spend a fair bit on could be a flop.

I'm not!!!!!!!

If David Platt had signed for Hibs, he would never have been picked for England and would never have scored that goal against Belgium!!!:grr:

[Aubenas]

It's an old argument this, but I think Hibs have shown over the years that they can pick gems from lower divisions, and while the European, or wider, market might be attractive, it has its own risks.

Johnny Leith didn't exactly set the heather on fire despite coming from Monaco, whereas Jonesy from Grimsby was just what we needed. In addition, I think we'd have got a lot more from Zouma and Benji a lot quicker if they hadn't had to adapt to a different culture.

As an Irish guy, Keogh will know about the game here and maybe even has connections with Stokes, Cregg, Stack etc. He's done well at Carlisle by all accounts and maybe needs to move up a level. Championship sides in England mostly have access to fringe Premier players and fairly high level Europeans, salary wise, so his route is blocked in that direction.

All signings are a risk, but there is a good chance that he will fit in well and quickly and continue to learn his trade with us. For every Boozy we unearth sur le continong there's a Daquin or a Hakim Sar.

Management may feel our defensive needs are so immediate ( as do most posters on here) that the route of least risk is the best option.

Put simply: an uncomplicated lower division player with promise is a better punt than a classier French guy who may not adapt to our game.

Further to the reasonable points above, given that Hibs don't have a proper right back, it wouldn't be difficult for him to be better than what Hibs have.

[Stevie Reid]

We were in for Michael Hart from Preston in January, but they sacked their manager and the deal was shelved. He's a right-back.

If we were to renew our interest in him (I believe he's available) and sign Keogh, we might well have solved two major problems at one stroke.

Just thinking aloud. :cool2:

I went to watch Carlisle this season when they gubbed MK Dons 5-0. Couldnt comment on individual players, but as a unit they knew what they were doing, played some tidy football and scored good goals, there were no obvious weak links that day.

Discounting lower league teams when looking for players is ridiculous. It doesnt matter where he plays, its whether he could do a job for us.

Awrite Coco!

Yes he was. He's their penalty man and got a good few from there and he's also scored a handful of free kicks but lots of Foxy fans still not taken to him. Ive not been overly impressed when ive seen him (considering his experience) and he was rank on the big Wembley stage at the JPT final. Notwithstanding all this, he's had a great career and look how Miller turned out for us (1st part of season). May be worth a gamble and certainly Yogi may well see him as part of our cog......

Wages may be a stumbling block...... and he's a wee guy :grr:

ask the CUFC fans then ! Scoring pens and free kicks for fun against the likes of Stockport, Exeter, Wycombe and co is fine but could he cut it in SPL? Remember, this guy would be our top wage bleeder....i guess life is a gamble.:cool2:

I appreciate that I haven't seen him but you said that he had "produced little this season" but I thought that scoring 17 goals and being in the PFA Team of the Year suggested otherwise!

I wasn't touting him for a move to Hibs btw. Incidentally, Gus McPherson will perhaps be thinking that he may still have been in job if it wasn't for Harte's last minute U-turn.

im only tellin you what i've read, seen and heard about Harte! He was p**h at Wembley. Rubbish. Distribution bad and his workrate not good enough.
As i said, he's was a good player and has had a good career. He's still got nice touches and can play a bit. (But why has no other club gambled on him down south?) But he'd be one of Hibs' top earners and i really think we could perhpas spend that money more wisely. Just my opinion though....

Anyway, i reckon all Hibs' recent scouting missions at Brunton Park will surprise one or two...

Fair dos mate, as I say, I wasn't suggesting we should sign him.

I saw an article that suggested Keogh was having second thoughts about leaving and had gone back to talk to the club again.

The article said that he had turned down sizeable offers elsewhere due to geographical reasons and that it appeared to rule out a move to Hibs.

We'll see!

You don't post all that often, but when you do......

Thank you kind sir :thumbsup:

I think that article has been superceded by another that states he is definitely on the move now. Not necessarily to Hibs though.

I think we'll get linked with quite a few players over the coming weeks. Hibs denied the story altogether anyway, and while that could be because we don't comment on anything til a deal's done, it may just as readily be the case that we weren't interested and his agent has just chucked our name into the mix to get a bit of interest in his player.

Whoever Hughes wants to bring in, I hope he does it as soon as possible. (understand it aint easy though).

Would be good to be in better shape for the EL games & also the start of the new SPL season.
Although this season was terrible in the latter part, it shows how starting well is important. And if he gets the right players in, we will stay more consistent through to the end of the season, hopefully.

Point is, get in good players ASAP - coz I want us in the Europa League groups and some cracking trips :party:

Let's not start this one again too early.

Hibs will get the players in because they want them to be the right ones. If we can get them all in early then brilliant but I'm more concenred that we get the right people tyo do us the next 2 to 3 yrs.

The complaints we hear every ten minutes on here during the close season seems to suggest that the people at the club are sitting about doing nowt!

Not suggesting yours was necessarily this sort of complaint but it will happen any time now and go on all summer I'd expect!

I was not complaining at all,
my 1st sentence is clear enough "Whoever Hughes wants to bring in, I hope he does it as soon as possible. (understand it aint easy though)."

all I meant was if he has # 1 targets, I hope he gets them and ASAP, has them into the squad / training & part of our early season big games.

But as I said, I know its not easy and we're competing with other clubs and players holding off etc etc, but still I hope he has known for a while who he wants and secures them before end of August, when we could be oot the EL and already a few games into the SPL.
Agree that if it's a Stokes or Miller though, I'd happily take the player on transfer deadline day if must be.
