Hopeful summer signings?

[scotthfc]

with CC announcing some of the players contracts will not be re-newed, who do you think would be a good signing for hibs?

[Ritchie]

Bring the big guy back to Easter Road!!

[NOLA]

id like either/or both Liam Craig / Murray Davidson and Craig Conway, Adam Rooney and young Hasselbaink, that will do for now :wink:

[Ritchie]

John Sutton. :agree:

Has he said who, or just some?

[R'Albin]

Would like to see Peter Clarke(huddersfield) Adam Rooney,Rory Mcallister and Jamie Hamill.

[.Sean.]

Garry O'Connor

[scotthfc]

Has he said who, or just some?

not saying who will not be getting a new contract

[hfc-1875]

would like to see swanson/conway, rooney and sutton at hibs :agree:

[easty]

id like either/or both Liam Craig / Murray Davidson and Craig Conway, Adam Rooney and young Hasselbaink, that will do for now :wink:

Liam Craig is ****. McBride and Rankin are better players than him. Also not sure about the Hasselbaink lad but Davidson/Conway/Rooney would be three really good signings.

We need a decent striker to come in, Rooney would be good. A right back has to be a priority as well.

[steve75]

http://www.tranmererovers.co.uk/javaImages/78/66/0,,10365~8939128,00.jpg

every single time...






his goal against Q.O.S was pretty good though :wink:

[3pm]

Rooney must have signed a pre-contract with someone by now!

[Wotherspiniesta]

The striker from Killie. William Gros.

He looks like an awesome prospect.

[TRC]

Liam Craig just signed extension of his contract with st j's i think

[IWasThere2016]

John Sutton is a good shout IMO.

[The Hurricane]

John Sutton is a good shout IMO.
Not mobile or good enough IMO

[KeithTheHibby]

Maybe he already has and it's being kept on the quiet.:wink:

[Dunbar Hibee]

Also, Conway will be away down to the Championship, Most likely 'Boro.

[ancient hibee]

Also, Conway will be away down to the Championship, Most likely 'Boro.
If he is he'll be back pretty quick.Nowhere near good enough for that level.

[SteveHFC]

Danny Swanson
Chris Maguire
Mehdi Taouli
Big Center-Half

[stokesmessiah]

If he is he'll be back pretty quick.Nowhere near good enough for that level.

Not sure why you think that.

[Ritchie]

Couldn't disagree more. Sutton is exactly the type of player Hibs have been needing all season.

While we were raiding Motherwell I'd grab Murphy aswell :wink:

[NorthfieldHibee]

Chris Humphrey - Motherwell
Rooney/Sutton - ICT/Motherwell
Swanson - Dundee United
Griffiths - Wolves (Loan)
sproule - Bristol City

and... this may be a longshot but what about Jones, Out of favour at s'thorpe, i'm pretty sure his contract's up at the end of the season aswell

[Ritchie]

No way to jones!!!

Scored last night for Sheffield Wednesday though, but still no thanks.

[heretoday]

Craigan of Motherwell.

[Big Ed]

Some of the names listed on here; if we signed them I'd weep.

[Dunbar Hibee]

Craigan of Motherwell.

Dear god no.

[essexhibee]

Adam le fondre.
Efe Sodje just for the bandana!! :wink:

[aberhibsfc]

Adam le fondre.
Efe Sodje just for the bandana!! :wink:

ALF, :agree:

[eastmainsmsh]

morgaro Gomis , Chris Mcguire ,Darren O Dea,Andy Dorman,Richard Wright gk if any keepers leave ,John Sutton,Stephen Pearson

Pure Fantasy lol :greengrin

[hibsdaft70]

Peter Thompson at Linfield. The guy seems to score 20-30 goals every season. 152 goals in 235 games at Linfield.

[joe_hfc]

Peter Thompson at Linfield. The guy seems to score 20-30 goals every season. 152 goals in 235 games at Linfield.

Yea and scored about 5 goals in 42 games with the team sitting at the bottom of League 2!!

[HibeeMcGinn1]

Adam Rooney would be a definate for me. Would like Towell on a permanent deal aswel.

[jax67]

a forward line of Rooney & Sutton would be superb! :pray:


Thats a great shout, love to see both those lads in Hibs strips:agree:

[ancient hibee]

Has Adam Rooney scored many goals since it was decided he was a great player?

[calumhibee1]

Craigan of Motherwell.

:hilarious

[Hermit Crab]

Eremenko at Killie? His brother plays for Dynamo Kiev hes decent too, not that we could sign him. :greengrin

[Thegreenside]

towell, especially with the amount of players that play RB at celtic:agree:

[Franck Stanton]

Higdon from St Mirren would do an excellant job for us, big strong, leads the line well and would compliment Deeks style of play. Vastly under-rated player IMO

[KiddA]

with CC announcing some of the players contracts will not be re-newed, who do you think would be a good signing for hibs?

I would not mind seeing us go for Calum Davenport. Currently at Wooten Blue Cross after being released by West Ham after him getting into a bit of bother. If he can prove his fitness why not :dunno: played at a good level not so long ago but I also read that Leeds are keeping tabs on him. He might be a cheap option and he might want a change. Looked a decent player when I seen him play :agree:

Isn't he at least 142? He must be slower than a week in jail...:confused:

[allezsauzee]

Chris Maguire would be a good signing for us. Out of contract in the summer I think.

[easty]

Higdon from St Mirren would do an excellant job for us, big strong, leads the line well and would compliment Deeks style of play. Vastly under-rated player IMO

Please god (even though he doesnt exist) no.

Higdon is nowhere near the standard of player I want playing for Hibs. Have you actually watched him in a game? He'd get more abuse than Nish, and deservedly so. Nish is twice the player he is.

Would happily take them both, but they wouldn't come to us.

[Pretty Boy]

Are you not thinking of Callum Davidson?

Davenport is only in his late 20s and was the guy stabbed by his sisters boyfriend.

[easty]

Nah he's thinking of Jim Davidson.

[Stevie Reid]

John Sutton is a good shout IMO.

Yep, was saying to my Dad during the recent cup tie at Tannadice that he would be a good signing - 30 goals in 92 for Motherwell and is 27. Would be a good Bosman

[Jones28]

jeezo, some players i can understand, but sutton, craigan, sproule and jones?! The first 2, well, we've got better already in all honesty and the latter 2, they were great here, no doubt. But its time to move on, make way for new legends

[hibeeleicester]

Why does everyone want players from worse teams than us. Lets aim high.

[joe_hfc]

Why does everyone want players from worse teams than us. Lets aim high.

You believe in signing rejects from clubs better than us than proven star performers at clubs par, or worse than us?

[stokesmessiah]

Higdon from St Mirren would do an excellant job for us, big strong, leads the line well and would compliment Deeks style of play. Vastly under-rated player IMO

I dont know if this is serious or not!?

[Baader]

Adam Le Fondre from Rotherham.

[Ritchie]

Who do we have that's better than Sutton?

[darwenhibby]

Louis Almond from Blackpool.

:agree: add higdon to that list.

[FromTheCapital]

Alexei Eremenko of Kilmarnock.... And if Rooney hasn't signed a pre-contract then take him but if he has then take Sutton... Infact if Rooney hasn't then buy the pair of them !

[Hibiza]

Palsson and Towell

[.Sean.]

Scott Vernon.

Seems to be playing well and scoring his fair share for a piss-poor Aberdeen side.

[NOLA]

Michael Higdon from st mirren, having a great season so far, cant imagine he would cost too much

[truehibernian]

In a perfect world, would love to see young Kenny McLean from St Mirren and Jamie Murphy from Well. I think both would require fees, but for me, as well as finding some out of contract players, we need to invest in good, promising Scottish talent.....the next stepping stone.

McLean has one of the sweetest left foots on a midfielder I have seen since the great Davie Cooper. He is a wonderful talent but I think under a long term contract at the buddies. Murphy has grown this season into a real, real talent. Again, Well would rightfully want a good fee.

Both would enhance the team and give it pace and energy.

[Golden Bear]

Michael Higdon from st mirren, having a great season so far, cant imagine he would cost too much

I'd agree with that.

Although many others will look down their noses as he would be considered "not Hibs class".

[whiskyhibby]

Bob Harris looked pretty good fo QoS today ........................

[DH1875]

Michael Higdon from st mirren, having a great season so far, cant imagine he would cost too much


Would take him over Sutton any day.
One player I'd like to see in a Hibs jersey is Humphrey from Motherwell, think he's a cracking player and is still young enough to improve.

[marinello59]

I'd agree with that. Unfortunately he may well be on the radar of bigger clubs than us.

Just how long a thread do you want this to become? :wink::greengrin

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Based on the performance yesterday I would take Aluka from Sheeperdeen. Thought he used the ball well going forwards.

[marinello59]

Based on his performance yesterday, aye. But he is their Mr Inconsistency. The guy has something but seemingly can't be bothered half the time.

[R'Albin]

:agree: Same with Maguire.

[Kaiser1962]

Adam Le Fondre from Rotherham.

Rotherham want £3m for him.


Why does everybody want strikers when its defenders we need?

[--------]

Bob Harris looked pretty good fo QoS today ........................


I thought the lad Hutton looked every inch a Hibs goalie - took me right back to the Malkowski/Brown era under Mowbray....


:devil:

[PaulSmith]

Rotherham want £3m for him.


Why does everybody want strikers when its defenders we need?

Cause Riordan, Nish, Byrne, Vaz Te and Sodje are out of contract. Not sure we have any strikers for next season right now unless you can tell me otherwise!

[Dirkster23]

Sodje has another year on his contract.

[scoopyboy]

Sodje is the only striker that is contracted to Hibs for next season.

Are you suggesting we go into next season with a solitary striker?

[DH1875]

Sodje has another year on his contract.


Like he said, we don't have any strikers for next season :devil:

[SteveHFC]

Cammy Bell
Big Center-Back
Chris Humphrey
Adam Rooney
John Sutton

[sixtwo]

Garry O'Connor



This

[essexhibee]

A centre half is desperately needed. I think we do need another striker as Sodje isn't a goalscorer. I desperetly want him to prove me wrong though as the guy seems a great character who looks to be loving life here. Really hope he can go and prove himself.

[sixtwo]

Some of the names on this thread are absoloutly ridiculous. It is like rod petrie is compiling his list on this forum.

Cammy bell/????
Kenny mclean????
michael higdon???

Can i remind fans we are looking to improve on our worst season for 7 years.

The above mentioned players fall firmly in the 'dross' category and should only ever be seen at easter road when they are getting their ass kicked as a visiting team!
in recent years we have brought in players of the ilk of Brown, stokes, millar, we should aim higher than the crap people are hoping to sign. We brought deeks back from celtic and murray from norwich. It is not unreallistic to think we can raise the bar higher than ***** players from st mirren and kilmarnock and lower leagues of scottish football.

Next year we should aim for third at least. CC will be aiming for that. He will believe he can lead this team to third but he will need better players than the pathetic lot mentioned on here

[jax67]

PAUL SCHOLES, who will immediately take on the mantle of club captain,after kicking many huge lumps out of the diet huns midfield,and spraying the odd 70yard pass of course, and banging in an unstoppable 30yard volley.:not worth
KEVIN PHILLIPS, who will immediately score a hattrick against the diet huns,during an 8-0 demolition derby.:not worth
KEVIN DAVIES, who will score three of the other five in the same derby.
PARTICK VIEIRA,who will play his last season of professional football for Hibernian, his boyhood heroes, and gain legendary status by scoring a rasper from all of 35 yards in the 8-0 game.:not worth
ENOCH SHOWUMNI, who with his massive rear end will single buttedly keep the whole bench warm.:agree:

[Franck is God]

I hope we can sign Towell on a permanent contract or at least secure him for all of next season. I'd also like us to re-sign Dickoh, Stevenson & Miller.

I would like us to offer terms to Adam Rooney, if he really has the potential to play at a higher level then Hibs have proven to be a good club for rising stars.

I'd also like us to make a move for Chris Maguire of Aberdeen who is also out of contract in the summer.

We need an experienced centre half that can help bring on Hanlon and Stephens yet be satisfied with probably not playing every week so an older player that can maybe do some coaching too.

Sixtwo, I would suggest that you take time to watch McLean and then report back to me as to how good he could become. The fact he plays for St Mirren means nothing.......he gets his game there, he is only 19, playing for Scotland at his age group and St Mirren rightly had him signing an extension last year due to his potential.

Don't believe me.......ask various SFA, OF and English based scouts. I am sure once you have watched the lad you will have a very different opinion.

Had you heard of Ivan Sproule and Institute, or Dean Shiels, or David Murphy before they came to Hibernian ?

[sixtwo]

I think i watched him play against rangers earlier this season and he was garbage. Way out of his depth and struggled to find a pass. total dross. Not the kind of player we should be aspiring to sign

[truehibernian]

If it is the same player i amthinking off he was released from rangers was he not? I think i watched him play against rangers earlier this season and he was garbage. Way out of his depth and struggled to find a pass. total dross. Not the kind of player we should be aspiring to sign

Not wishing an argument mate, but you are basing an opinion of a young under 19 player on one performance against the defending SPL champions ?

I have luckily had the chance to watch him more than once, and also discussed him with both SFA and Hearts coaches. Each one is of the same opinion........a very gifted young player with a great attitude to the game and one who has bags of potential. He came on against Aberdeen in the cup and showed in 30 minutes what a magnificent touch and vision he has.

We released Leigh Griffiths......would you take him back on loan from Wolves ? We offered Riordan and Whitty to Inverness for Bobby Mann.......players get released, however the fact he was released from Rangers says it all. And I am pretty sure he was only 16 at the time too.

Like I say, I think he would be an absolute gem for Hibs.

I respect your opinion, i just don't share it. The rangers game sticks in my mind because i had heard of the boy and was extremely disappointed with what I saw. I have seen him since and think he is probably at his level. I think we should be looking at a higher level.

Fair play bud.

I do think we need a natural left sided player to compliment Booth, but also think we need some pace in the wide right area.

My summer wish-list would be centre half, left midfielder, penalty box striker, right winger and real "box to box" midfielder to assist Scott. We need pace in the midfield and front areas.

Quite excited to see what CC and DA bring in though.....definite reasons to be cheerful.

[sixtwo]

We have to trust the management team. They had the vision to see where we were struggling and they have applies a few patches to repair the side. I think if they have a decent budget (taking into consideration the number of exits we'll see) i think they will bring in 5 or 6 quality players. hopefully g o'c will be the first.

They deserve to backed in the transfer market because they have proven they have an eye for a player. Our record since the end of january is testament to that.

[Kaiser1962]

Cause Riordan, Nish, Byrne, Vaz Te and Sodje are out of contract. Not sure we have any strikers for next season right now unless you can tell me otherwise!


Sodje is the only striker that is contracted to Hibs for next season.

Strikers are more exciting signings and we don't have any of them next year.

For me it would be.

Towell - Bosman
Vaz Te - Unattatched
Aluko - Bosman
Cowie - Cash
O'Connor - Unattatched
Alan Smith - Bosman
Adam Rooney - Bosman
Nicky Butt - Bosman
Kenny Milne -Bosman
Bogdanovic - Bosman

[JimBHibees]

Cant believe people are saying Higdon and Sutton as personally think both are poor. I am pretty sure that CC will be able to come up with someone better from lower leagues down south than these guys.

Always thought Jamie Murphy is a very good player though would think we wouldnt be able to afford as no doubt he will be on a contract. Kind of a fitter more hard working Deek without the amazing finishes but longer term a better investment.

[.Sean.]

If Stack doesn't get a new deal Cammy Bell would be a sound replacement.

[Stevie Reid]

The most exciting thing about this close season is that every other year the budget will restrict how many new players we see coming in - whilst there will obviously still be a budget to adhere to, the shear number of players leaving means that we will see several new arrivals in the summer, which is great.

I reckon this summer will see the most new signings since the close season that McLeish brought in Laursen, O'Neil, Agathe, Fenwick et al - hopefully with similar results.

Sutton and Hately from Motherwell.

[Kaiser1962]

Probably a risk the majority are willing to take in his case at this stage :dunno:

I know I am.


Ditto. I think Agathe is the only player (I can think off anyway) was on a short term deal that has not went Hibs way. Plenty the other way round though.

[R'Albin]

As I said on the other thread I am hopeful we make a big money signing, judging on the last few performances people are going to be tentative about buying an st, but a big name signing would hopefully entice people to get one.

[DH1875]

We are in dire need of some pace and width and hopefully CC will get it sorted out during the summer.

[Sammy7nil]

A "Team" Please :agree:

too little too late crowds will REGULARLY be well under 10k next year

[Dashing Bob S]

I'd like to see us sign The Lad. He's had a tough few seasons but always gives 100 per cent, that's why the boo-boys should get off his back. I'd rather have someone who gives their all for the cause like him, rather than overpaid poseurs not fit to lace his boots. Yes, he might have made a fool of himself in George Street that night but he thrives on responsibility and if Calderwood would just sit him down and give him a good talking to, the arm around the shoulder, or maybe the boot up the arse, I'm sure he'd respond cause the one thing you can say about him is that he's a total pro who always gives 100 per cent, that's why the boo-boys should...

[Dashing Bob S]

too little too late crowds will REGULARLY be well under 10k next year

Nutshell. Our 6-8,000 crowds post six split will become the norm under Calderwood's crappy football next season. We are the new Motherwell FC who don't finish in the top six.

[HibbyAndy]

IMO Aluko would be a great signing , Pace,Power, Direct and takes people on.

[eastmainsmsh]

David Healy anyone :confused:

Not getting look in at der hun

[R'Albin]

David Healy anyone :confused:

Not getting look in at der hun
Wasn't he injured? Or did I just imagine that:confused:

And yes on a short term contract:agree:

[mr mojo risin]

Jamie Hamill- can play rb, rm, cm. good at pens
Garry O'connor
hasselbaink from hamilton
Gomes and Prince Bauben
Danny Swanson
2 centre backs
we also need pace out wide

[easty]

IMO Aluko would be a great signing , Pace,Power, Direct and takes people on.

He'd certainly fit in at Hibs, with his 1 good game to 4 poor games performance ratio.

[easty]

David Healy anyone :confused:

Because when he has been on the park for them he's looked uninterested. That's in a team that creates plenty of chances to score. Imagine him in our side! I'd pass on David Healy.

so where does wee lewis fit in to that?:greengrin

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Don't be surprised if GoC ends up at Celtic before long.

[Johnny_Leith]

Sam Boldock - striker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sam_Baldock
Danny Green - winger http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Danny_Green_(footballer)
Will Hoskins - striker http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Will_Hoskins

[essexhibee]

O'connor is training with celtic :rolleyes:

[Thomson]

O'connor is training with celtic :rolleyes:

Is their truth in this. Can't understand why they would want him. He's a good player but with the players they have, they would be setting their sights higher than GoC, surely.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

was in the sun, just training with no view for a deal apparently.

dunno why he couldnt have trained with us :rolleyes:

[Twa Cairpets]

too little too late crowds will REGULARLY be well under 10k next year

And what if they are? The ones who dont go will be doubtless the ones bleating that that it isnt good enough and "I won't be back until we invest in the team" posturing without realising the irony of their stance.

As long as we refresh the squad, sweep out the last remnants of the sad disaster that was Yogi I'll be happy that we'll have a team worth watching.

[hibee-shtuggie]

Cerny or Bell
for GK please

maguire,hately,humpreys and gomis

[mon the cabbage]

wouldnt take them.

get towell permanently

[Cocaine&Caviar]

You really wouldnt take Gomis?

He's been a key player in a very succesful Utd team for about 3 years, a great SPL player

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

maybe he has read today's Daily Record.

[easty]

I wouldn't have argued if you'd called him a decent or a good SPL player, but a great one....nah. He seems to have had a fairly average season compared to last.

I wouldn't be excited by him signing for us anyway, wouldn't be a bad signing but I'm hoping for better.

[PaulSmith]

Hopeful summer signings?? I'm just hopeful that I get one that I can hand on heart say that he'll make a difference, I think we'll get several more of the same that we got in January with CC asked to rake the bargain basement with a revolving door of trialists at EM's.

[ancient hibee]

There's some guy called Donaldson scoring for fun at Crewe-worth a punt?

[brog]

Kevin McDonald at Burnley? Probably about to be released. Outstanding youngster, Prem experience, injured & lost way. May look at us as a rebuilding opportunity.

Good player - but I doubt he will want to leave NW Engerland

[Speedway]

Perhaps we didn't want the tatooed halfwit anywhere near the younger lads.

What revolving door of trialists was that?

I remember you recommending him and his teammate as good signings whilst they were still at the Dee. I've seen Burnley a few times when he's played and he's looked good.

[AndersonGGTTH]

Cerny or Bell
for GK please

maguire,hately,humpreys and gomis

Would rather just Stacky signed up tbh !

[PaulSmith]

The one that saw 6 of them at once during a wee visit to EM

[R'Albin]

Would rather just Stacky signed up tbh !

:agree: although I would definately take Cerny, Bell started off well at Killie but has looked a wee bitty dodgey recently and isn't great from crosses.

[eastmainsmsh]

Andy Dorman is on a free from Crystal Palace good player with st mirren plus scores goals :thumbsup:

A no nonsense centre half like Chris Morgan of Sheffield united

What about David Marshall from Cardiff

And a goalscorer

[Cocaine&Caviar]

For me:

Towell (on loan)
Leigh Griffiths (on loan)
Thomas Cerny
Kevin McDonald, Burnley, if possible
Adam Rooney
Sone Aluko
Liam Miller to stay

That, with a big CB, would give me real hope for the season ahead.

A team of:

Brown/Cerny

Towell_New CB_Hanlon_Booth

Miller_Palsson_McDonald_Aluko

Sodje_Rooney

Summary:

- A bit of pace with Aluko, Sodje and Rooney

- Strength in the middle

- Miller on the right allows Towell to bomb forward

- A strong partnership up front with proven SPL goals

[R'Albin]

I'm a bit bored of the other threads on here so thought I'd bump this...

After our 3 summer signings-O'Connor, O'Hanlon and Sproule who would everyone like to see us sign?
