Signings We've "Missed Out" On (Another Chicken Licken Mega Thread)

Miss out?

If Hibs had signed him there would be utter carnage on here.

Correct - the place would have been in meltdown, and there would have been talk of STs being returned etc.

We had a 6 pager when we thought we were signing Burton O'Brien last year.

[vanNISHtelroy]

Shame to see Frazer leave the club, think it is something of a sideways move when he could have stayed. Think we were only offering a one year deal and St Johnstone were offering two years. Leaves another big hole in Killie squad.



Meant to put this on my last post in other thread but forgot.

RIP Eddie Morrison. Was to young to see you as a player or manager but knew from talking to others you were a true Killie legend. Oh Eddie, Eddie....

[Ringothedog]

Whats with this "Hibs miss out". Surely we can only miss out on a player if we are interested :confused:

[Beefster]

How the **** have we 'missed out on him'? Apart from the fact that we need better than Frazer Wright, I'd be astonished if we had tried to sign him.

Folk seem to equate every signing another SPL club makes as one Hibs have been beaten to. Mental.

[Hibs7]

I only hope cc has someone good in the wings, or all hell will break loose on here.

[vanNISHtelroy]

Kenny Shiels is going to need to bring in quite a few players for us in the summer. With Fright away it means that the only centreback we have is Pascali and there is debate between JJ, Mixu and Kenny as to whether he is a midfielder who can play in defence when needed or the other way round.

Join the queue, no skipping either - we're next in line for some signings :greengrin

Yes I think well need a celebrity death match type smiley for that one ;)
So this will be our fate (what if ponderings) until we sign someone.

When we do sign someone it's bound to go nuclear no matter what.

The revolution will not happen overnight unfortunately we kinda need it pretty sharpish...

:aok:

I think "Hibs dodge another bullet" is the more likely one.

What's with the clamour to get in signings? In early June? We'll get signings. I wish folk would just chill out a bit. It's making us look desperate in front of the *ahem* neighbours...

[steakbake]

Damnit, I missed out on posting something like that. What an embarrassment.

Correct. Folk should remember that Riordan, Bamba, Stokes and Miller were all signed towards, or after, the end of the window.

C'mon, are we going to have a thread on here for every player who signs for another team.....Wright was probably never even on our radar, which is great, so why are you fussed about him going to Saints?

In answer - no and (therefore ) no.

[Mikey]

If he had signed for us he would have been a journeyman who's contract had expired and therefore nobody else wanted.

[MyJo]

meh

[GreenPJ]

Wonder if he will still be sold on the city in Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar.

[Hibs90]

How does anyone know he wasn't on our radar? :confused:

[MyJo]

And Hibs haven't signed guff players in the past like?

Hibs miss out on another signing.

Utter pish.

[Spike Mandela]

Now Motherwell sign Higdon

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13642435.stm

Definite feeling of teams doing business early this year. Guess that's due to the early start to the season.

[Saorsa]

Agreed.

I see Motherwell have signed Higdon. Possibly a good signing for them

[Franck Stanton]

Correct, as far as I am aware we were never trying to sign the laddie

[Franck Stanton]

Agreed.

Pity if true, I was hoping we would sign him as I think he would have done a job for us. Very under-rated player IMO

[The Sea-gull]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13642435.stm

signs for Well.

Ahhh, lets panic another one we've "missed"

Would rather have Rooney but doubt we're getting him either. Got a sneaking he might stay at ICT.

Seriously though would have taken Rooney or Sutton and at least considered Higdon. G O'C being linked but even if we get him not sure what we are getting from him.

Still there are 100s of strikers out there. Lets hope CC has a good one lined up!

[allezsauzee]

I'd sooner keep Nish than sign that big huddy

Agreed. Devastated. Only consolation is that Hertz have missed out on him as well. And Dundee United. And Celtc. And Rongrs. And Aberdeen. And Motherwell. Also St Mirren have missed out on him. So have Dunfermline. And a Killiemarnock fan is disappointed that they have missed out on resigning him. All these facts, endoff, are helping me not to self-harm at this difficultest of times.

[The Slav]

Probably not but will have passed him onto any team in Edinburgh, since most ex Dons players seen to end up there, whether pish or just finished.

[grantonhibee]

why after ever player than signs for an spl club we have posts saying we missed out??

surely we are a better club than one who signs the dregs of the league , everytime someone is released there are posts on her asking if we should move for them , we have had bad players in the past based on that idea , im sure we have people on the radar but come on fraser wright?? its a joke lol

[steakbake]

Because I wanted to. I don't need to explain myself to you.

Fair enough.

You're right.

Why when ever other team signs a player in the SPL we have posts saying we have missed out? surely we are a better club than that?? most of the players are not hibs class? we have had some huddys in the past due to panic buying , im sure we have players on the radar and signings will follow soon , some of the names passed about here are unbelieveable

GGTTH

[Greentinted]

Yeh, totally agree, the time to compare and judge is when next seasons embryonic balls are being kicked in anger.
If our summer incomers are indeed uninspiring, that will be the time when the phrase 'missed out' has any relevance!

GGTTHWhy are we better than that? Going by most of guff what we've signed in the last few seasons what exactly is Hibs class? The panic buying we usually do is usually at the end of the windae, that's why we mostly end up with said Huddies, because there's nowt else left.

[R'Albin]

Fair enough.

You're right.

:agree:

[grantonhibee]

we all want the best for the club , and i feel at times us fans panic , this is gonna be a long process with calderwood at the helm , we should be looking to finish in the top 4 most seasons but that hasn't been the case due to various things. half the folk we have signed as late have been bad , there are people saying we have missed out on fraser wright?? im sure it must be a yam at the wind up as fraser wright is exactly what his name sounds like . we should be looking to get players who are of decent quality no ones that other SPL clubs want to put on the scrap heap , some of the names being thrown about are ridiculous , im sure the hibs scouts and staff will have a bunch of players they are intrested in and i hope they get them in .

Delighted we've "missed out" on Wright and Higdon. Neither is better than what we had last season.

[Franck is God]

There is only one player that has so far signed for another SPL club in the last week that I would have taken at ER and that was John Sutton but even then if Rooney is still the striker on the wanted list then I'll be happy to wait for him.

Now that Miller has made his decision to leave then CC has to decide whether he needs to replace like for like. I liked what I saw of Thornhill and thought he was doing well until he got injured, our results and the form of Palsson really dropped without him in the side. I also think that Spoony will turn out to be better in the middle of the pitch than wide.

Pace was the thing that was really missing in the team particularly in the wide areas, if Galbraith has a good pre season and the return of Ivan as well certainly will give us something different going forward.

[Hibeesb0unc3]

i'm sorry but higdon and barrowman are terrible and would be worried if we were signing them. But can people give CC a break and give him a chance to sign his own players instead of all these pathetic threads of another player we have missed especially when one of them is higdon!!!

[R'Albin]

I think its more people being frustrated that other clubs are getting in their signings early, quite a few have been decent SPL players. Dont think its focusing on any particular signing.

Saying that though, to claim they are huddies and not Hibs class is a bit daft. We finished 10th this season for a reason and imo, a lot of those players would improve upon what we have at the club, even if its just strengthening the squad.

[vanNISHtelroy]

Thought Killie could be eighth or ninth next season but now worrying about relegation. Could be between us and St Midden.

Bell may or may not be away, Hammil to Hearts, Wright to St Johnstone, Sissoko back to parent club, still haven't really replaced Gordon who returned to Chelski (although I like Garry Hay), Bryson probably going to Derby, Eremenko return to parent club, Taouil away, Sammon not really replaced, Agard returned to parent club though could be back.

AND we have lost back up player and all round amazing JJ signing Steven Old! Who managed 10 appearances (two of those as sub) in two years and 4 appearances for Cowdenbeath on loan. Which says summat about him with players being played out of position in his positions of RB and CB.

[vanNISHtelroy]

He signed a few duds but signed a few good ones too. Saw the potential in Sammon and Mehdi although he didn't really manage to get it out of them, that took the amazing coaching skills and tactics of Mixu. :wink:

[ScottB]

Amazing. Folk spend all season long slating perfectly decent players who were / are at the club, then come close season the moaning switches to us not signing huddies that go to other clubs. Is this moaning for the sake of it or a desire for us to sign more players worth endlessly whingeing about / booing next season?

The relentless negativity is reaching the point where I'm going to stop bothering coming on here, almost every single damn thread is a moan about the most irrelevant sh***. Honestly, armchair fan sees other SPL club sign a player they've probably never even seen kick a ball and they are on here to rant about it, or to declare that we should be in for them. Guess what, I'm gonna go with whoever CC is in for, he's probably seen them in the flesh.

If Hibs did sign Fraser Wright and beat off all the competition that St J had to face, there would be a meltdown on h.net. There would be a lot of 'underwhelmed' Hibbys.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

<br />
Higdon would be a poor replacement for Colin Nish.

[MSK]

Sproule! We lacked pace and width last season and CC's first signing addresses that :agree:

Although, we haven't seen what we're getting. I hope it's going to be a higher level than that of Higdons etc.

According to the beeb he is going for 350k upfront with 100k based on appearences, surely we could have held off a little then. Wait til nearer the end of the transfer window and see if there was any other interest. Oh well I'm sure the beloved leader MJ knows better :rolleyes:

[supersauzee]

To say players are "not Hibs class" is ridiculous! at the moment we are nothing more than a mediocre team who could have been relegated this season. Fans have to wake up and smell the coffee and stop thinking we can attract all these fancy amazing players! we should be after the likes of Higdon, Hasselbaink, Wright, Sutton, Bryson, etc!! They have proven they are good in the SPL and that is good enought for me plus they are way better than what we have!

[lucky]

I'm a bit surprised that number of clubs signing players from each other in the SPL. This not the norm. That been said a front two of Sutton and Hasselbank would have been a decent front two.

Was he not a central defensive midfielder certainly looked a decent player from what i remember. Only concern would be where has he been last 1B months or so. Good quality if fit i agree.

TBH Jim you may well be right now,Thinking back to the playoffs im thinking of was about 5 years ago!..He was defo a RB then tho..:agree: But you could well be right about where he plays now.

Ill have half an eye on how he does for Aberdeen.

[Tyler Durden]

Not jumping on the bandwagon of slating Hibs for "missing out" on players but this guy would have been a great signing IMO.

Solid experienced centre half, probably past his peak but would get 2 or 3 years out of him in the SPL. Hopefully CC has someone even better in his sights - can but hope.

[Kaiser1962]

Probably not but will have passed him onto any team in Edinburgh, since most ex Dons players seen to end up there, whether pish or just finished.

Diamond anybody?

Ankle support thrown in apparently.

Best piece of business Aberdeen have done in many years. He is a complete muppet and a massive Celtic fan, which will no doubt go down well with the bigots at Slimecastle. Who will they attack the next time they play Cellic football club.

[Jack]

I'd be quite disappointed if we signed ANY SPL players.

There's a never ending queue of folk on here who consistently complain the SPL is poor quality, while at the same time a hoard on this board who complain that that we miss out on SPL players when they are available.

I hope Hibs break the incest ridden SPL and get some new genes in the pool.

[matty_f]

Why are we better than that? Going by most of guff what we've signed in the last few seasons what exactly is Hibs class? The panic buying we usually do is usually at the end of the windae, that's why we mostly end up with said Huddies, because there's nowt else left.

We have already signed someone. Does the panic buying exclude everyone that we bring in in plenty time for a season starting?

P.s. Why the need to make your while post bold?:dunno:

[hibiedude]

I see a lot of people hoping we sign Adam Rooney but something tells me if he was going to sign he would have done it before now- I think Rooney is waiting to see who else comes in fir him because we are not the club we once were.

Sad times

[Iain G]

I heard Steven King is writing a sequel to Misery and is avidly reading Hibs.net every day to get good material... :greengrin

I think you'll find we are the same club we have always been, its just that some people want us to put ourselves in even more debt to become 'bigger'.

I think you'll find we are the same club we have always been, its just that some people want us to put ourselves in even more debt to become 'bigger'.

So why build a new stand if it wasn’t to take the club to the next level :confused:

We are a shadow of the club we once were, if the last 2 seasons have told us anything it’s this, we are now on par with clubs like ICT, Motherwell, Kilmarnock.

When buying players we seem to wait till the very last minutes before the window closes meaning we are left with player no other teams wants hence the whole we find ourselves in these days.

If the board had the same ambitions as the fans then things would improve.

Agree 100% with you Dan

[Hibbyradge]

We have to face up to the fact that we can't attract better players because the majority of Englah clubs can afford to pay more than anyone in the SPL outside the OF and Vlad.

We may, very occasionally, get lucky with a player, but mostly we will sign youngsters or journeymen. e.g. today we're linked with a MK Dons reject.

However, to hope for anything else is unrealistic. Those caling for the board to "invest" are being disingenuous. What they actually want is for someone to give their money away cos no-one comes into Scottish football to get a return on their cash.

Unless it's from the real estate.

As an side, it may be bad now, but imagine the standard of player we would get if the OF left and took all the money with them.

How is that??? He scored 4 in 28 games last season, whats suddenly made him a threat? is it because st mirren make so many more chances in a game??

Hasselbaink is mince.

If Hibs signed every player who looked good playing against us last season then CC would have no difficulty finding new signings. Aye, Hasselbaink has a bit of pace and made Dickoh look a right tit, but the way we played last season my grandad or 11 year old cousin could have done that too!

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Don't see why we should get twisty-pants over not signing a striker who no longer plays for a relegated club that simply didn't score enough goals to stay up. If he had done, they wouldn't have been. The upside that I see here however, is that I would rate him and Steven Thompson, higher than this Gregory Tade boy that we have been linked with. I am sure that Saints are paying them less that our first-teamers get so by a line of logic, we shouldn't be signing Tade.:rolleyes:

He is a very skillful player and easy on the eye but on the number of times I've seen him, he looks to lack an end product. Will certainly give the ****bos a different midfield option, but not a signing I'd be overly worried about them making.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

nothing more than a poor mans latapy

[truehibernian]

We talked to him when Mixu was in charge. He had the option of us, a year at Celtic or remaining at Killie. He remained at Killie so he must have both an affection for the club and likes working with JJ and BB. Fair play to them, decent wee player played in the right way. For me it only means they will be offloading a fair few as well.

He was signed fairly early on in a transfer window if i recall correctly.

Personally i'd rather wait for the right players than rush into a couple of signings to appease fans who have absolutely no patience.

Excellent creative midfield signing for them and the Brucey bonus of not getting Diamond it's all looking good for the Jambos.

Taouil is a talented footballer who can open up defenses and provide quality supply to the front players. Something we are sadly lacking at the moment. Still, some people would rather we have four Jimmy Scotts.

Hughes got pelters on here for signing players from his former club but when Jefferies does it it's a master stroke. Go figure. :confused:
He's a capable player on his day. In his early days with Killie I thought he would be a decent signing for us but he just doesn't do it consistently enough in my opinion. That is nowt to do with who he has signed for now.

Onfield thuggery? I never said a 2 footed leg-breaking challenge. I was referring to the type of tackle we always moan our players for not doing, a solid ball-winning challenge. And the injury i am referring to is not the cause of a seriously bad challenge, i was merely indicating the fact that Taouil is always injured.

There is a difference between having steel in the midfield which i am on about, and diving in recklessly which is what they have been penalised for.

Hughes was slaughtered on here for turning Hibs into Falkirk. Jefferies has been busy signing players from St. Johnstone, Killie, Motherwell. Where were Killie in the league in the last few years Jefferies was there?

The only proven consistent player they've signed out of that lot is Sutton, who is most likely covering Kyle's ongoing injury problems. The rest are cheap replacements for probable departures, somewhat similar to what Hibs did in 2007, signing a player from Motherwell (Kerr) to replace a sale to the OF (Brown).

JJ will no doubt get the best out of him and in a better side now with more on the ball etc, he could be a really good signing.

[vanNISHtelroy]

Could be interesting to see how this one goes, Mixu got a lot more out of him than JJ ever managed to. Jeffries also saw him more as a wide player who could drift in and it didn't suit him too much, whereas Mixu played him more centrally and got better performances from him.

His lack of crossing ability wasn't shown as much there either!

He'll still destroy us when he plays us though :boo hoo:

Yes but JJ also turned Killie into a Hearts reserve side as well. Fulton, Locke, Quitongo, McSwegan, Wales...must have been others too but the old mind is going.*

Killie struggled in the last few years of JJ reign, but originally he took Kyle who was the main reason (only?) reason we stayed up that year. This year Jamie was a very consistent performer and one of the reasons that Mixu's formation worked so well, Mehdi also had a good season and maybe showed what JJ had seen in him to begin with.

*forgot Magic and Grant Murray (?)

The only proven consistent player they've signed out of that lot is Sutton, who is most likely covering Kyle's ongoing injury problems. The rest are cheap replacements for probable departures, somewhat similar to what Hibs did in 2007, signing a player from Motherwell (Kerr) to replace a sale to the OF (Brown).

Exactly - it's Sutton for Kyle, Grainger for Wallace, Taouil for Skacel & Hamill for practically anyone in midfield or full back. I saw last week the usual Yam tactic of saying they won't let their players go cheap before anyone has actually expressed an interest in them! If they don't sell they're in ( even more ) serious trouble.
TBH the player I rate most out of the 4 is Grainger, even from his Gretna days but I wouldn't take him over Booth. If we had signed 4 players from teams who finished below us in the league there would be plenty of disbelievers on here.
FWIW I think Taouil has great natural ability but he struggles to see a season out. I'm also told, directly by an agent that Taouil was touted round every English Championship & League 1 sides without any expression of interest.

Better than we currently have ...wouldnt be too difficult would it ?he is decent ..I said that ..however unlike you I aint creaming my pants over it ..why dont you grab a season ticket for overby & you can get aw excited about the tramps other signings too ..

Jeezo ..

Or you can just bury yer heid in the sand and pretend we're ok :thumbsup:

[Geo_1875]

I'm not too worried about "losing out" on this one. Decent player but hides when things don't go his way and goes down too easy. Given the refereeing bias against the hertz he could pick up lot of cards if he isn't out injured.

Or you can just bury yer heid in the sand and pretend we're ok :thumbsup:Aw behave yersel man eh !! ..I will judge hibs on who we sign not who the gorgay tramps sign ..

See for a "supposed" admin on here, you're an utter infant btw..

Where once did I "cream myself" over him signing?

You're obviously old, stupid and easily creamed if you deemed my post as me "creaming myself"..

:rolleyes:

[BEEJ]

I see the Taouil signing over yonder has now been confirmed.

(Not that we 'missed' him - I doubt we were ever after him.)

He signed for the yams not us ..get over it ffs ..:blah:

A few more rumours to bed Craig Gordon in talks with Celtic and Rob Earnshaw on his way to Palace.

It's probably just me but i think moving from killie to the ****bos shows a lack of ambition. Yes hearts may be better than killie and they are playing in Europe. But surely he had the quality to go on to the championship which is of a higher standard of playing. Then if that fails then go to some diddy team in a diddy league playing in Europe

[Dirkster23]

some folk on here need to grow a pair likes! ****ing it over some players hearts have signed. :rolleyes:

Let the folks at hibs do their work and we will be raring to go as ever

Spot on :agree:

We need a drama queen smiley for some of the posters on here!

So im still waiting to find out where I creamed myself?

Any need to swear at me so badly as well?

I really don't think I posted anything to suggest I needed to "get over" anything actually :confused:

But why let the truth get in the way of you having a rant eh :taxi

In the club of people who cream themselves over everything that everybody else does, and everything Hibs do is crap.

Waiting on someone posting that O'Hanlon is not CC's first choice and how he is beeing at settling for the cheap option.

Fair play this forum's getting worse, people need to calm down and grow up, "swear at me so badly " unbelievable .

He may be a decent signing for yams, he may not....A bit like Zemmama for me, great when on song, but hides and not up for a battle.....

Still we were never interested in him so its not like we have lost out.......Big Jimmy Scott will have him for brekkie

[RickyS]

I know this lad has been discussed before and opinion is split.
I always thought he was worth taking a chance on, but the Daily Mail
are reporting that he has signed for Killie for free on a 3yr deal.

I think he will do ok there.

maybe we have missed out here...............................:taxi

[Speedway]

Is every player that doesn't sign for Hibs someone we missed out on?

I notice Darren Dods has signed for Falkirk. Maybe we missed out there?

it was said with tongue in cheek, hence the smiley

just pointing out that i think he will do well

[mjhibby]

I must say i find it all hysterical some peoples reaction to hertz signings.They have lost their best ch in bouzid(webster will probably miss half the season through injury) and replaced him with hamill.Paleswaloes(you know who i mean) has gone and been replaced by a journeymen grainger who i havent heard anybody say hibs should have gone after.They have signed sutton as kyle is so injury prone and clum is away and stephen elliot hasnt resigned.they have now signed taoil who no doubt is to replace skacel.So out of the 4 sutton is maybe the only player improving their team and this from a team who won one of their last 12 games incase anybody forgot.
My mates a hertz fan and even he can see beyond the hype around their signings.They at best are the same standard as last season and the squad could be weakened by the sale of kello or wallace.lets wait until we see who hibs sign and where the teams are at say a couple of weeks before the start of the season before we make judgements.To me cc needs the players in by july 9 to give them at least a fortnight with their teammates and if ,as we are led to believe,there will be three signings this week then that will be four players signed(same as hertz) and with i would think 3 more players to come.You would think the season starts on saturday and not 5 weeks away the way some people are panicking.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Reading on twitter today that Killie, St Mirren and Motherwell are all set to announce new signings today. It will be killies 6th summer signing.

Good to see all our rivals are getting on with their summer rebuilding.

Quality of quantity. :wink:

There's still time but the longer you-know-what drags on, the more pressure there will be on the club to do something.

If we're done with signings this window then I would be very surprised and upset.

[Lmc2105]

Was thinking that myself only 32 and will provide great Crosses for Thompson a would think

He was at Sheffield Wednesday.

[bringbackjoeT!!]

The Buddies seem to be quietly bringing in some very good SPL level signings under the radar, are they getting some kind of investment from somewhere to finance these deals?

-Gary Teale
-Nigel Hasselbaink
-Steven Thompson
-Graeme Smith

Yesterday. Killie too are adding... We are well short.

[FRes Hibbie]

Admin are going too crazy with these thread mergings.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Teale is a good signing. Makes sense, with a lump like Thompson in the middle to get on the end of the crosses.

[blackpoolhibs]

Clayton Donaldson gone to london giants Brentford on a 3 year deal.
