Hibs transfer rumours

[Vault Boy]

Mark Brown has been offered a new contract and is expected to sign in the next 48 hours according to the Scotsman

I've always been a fan of Brown (since his Inverness days anyway); I rate him as a goalkeeper and as a professional. I'd be glad if he signed a new deal, but would like to see an new keeper too, whether he would be starting ahead of Brown or a decent cover to have I'd be happy enough. Personally I would have had him starting ahead of Stack, I can't really see why Fenlon didn't actually do this, seeing as Stack got punted and Brown is being offered a new deal, especially as Stack is slightly younger than Mark.

[Andy74]

Well that is completely underwhelming news. If there isn't a brand new No1 between the sticks, then that'll be one more nail in Fenlon's coffin.

How many nails are currently in it then?

[DaveF]

How many nails are currently in it then?

Quite a few after May 19th, I'd suggest?

That's not me shouting for him to go - Just a realistic point of view that the SC disaster has seriously cut short the amount of slack he'll get from the majority of the support.

That a shame cause i reckon he will do well at Hibs, put it this way the boy got shot of alot of players after that disaster, something which the majority of Hibs fans have been calling for, for years.

Huge job for the guy, however i reckon he will pull through and in a few seasons we will be moaning about him going to Celtic :rolleyes:

[green glory]

Can you post what it says up on here please? cant access Twitter at work....

@LukeShanley: I understand talks between James McPake and #Hibernian are progressing well and #Hibernian hope to sign the player in the next 24-48 hours.

I think he deserves immense credit for getting that shower through to a final in the first place, but get what you mean. It probably would have been better for him to have gone out early doors.

Neil Alexander is at Pre-Season training with Rangers today, a fair few didn't turn up and Ness is rumoured to be close to signing for Stoke. SSN, sorry if already posted.

Brown ... worse than inadequate

Brown ... worse than inadequate

Doesn't spend his time in Tigerlily and Lulu, doesn't smoke, coaches in his spare time, loves a game of cards admittedly, and hasn't really let Hibs down. Doesn't tweet or Facebook that often and hasn't been arrested in nightclubs hours after a league defeat.

Broony will do for me. We need professionals, not clowns. Good keeper, needs to work on kicking, but solid. Happy for him being a Hibee. We ditched the right one.

See where you are coming from mate, but the above are the minimum requirements for any professional football player. Admittedly Brown has these qualities, however, they alone don't make a good player , they still need talent and there are a lot better keepers out there.

He's a good keeper mate. Put a better, more resilient defence in front of him and full backs who close down - you'll see an even better one.

Doesn't save any shots at goal that are either side of him, doesn't instill any confidence to the back 4, and doesn't come off his line, and doesn't kick the ball well at all, he's anything but solid. I'd rather have Andy McNeil.:rolleyes:

We can all be selective BH. I do recall Broony making saves in the Ayr Utd game last minute to keep us in the Cup at ER, or fingertip saves from Skacel at Tynie from a free kick, or penalty saves v 'Well in the League Cup.....all either side of him.

Agree about his distribution. But other than that, for me he is more consistent on and off the field, and other than a finger injury, pretty much always off the treatment table.

I just disagree, even a clock is right twice a day. I think he's a poor keeper, and hopefully he's a reserve at best. We need much better than someone who was 2nd to Graham Stack.

All admirable qualities, unfortunately it doesn't hide the fact that he is a liability and ****ing gash!

[truehibernian]

Totally in agreement we need another keeper, and hey if it's someone like Murphy from QPR or rated, even better. I liked Cerny but he was a bit like Stack and always appeared rooted to his line.

We do need a more solid and consistent defence in front of them too though.

[Andy74]

You need a new clock. It needs to be right more than twice a day.

[blackpoolhibs]

You need a new clock. It needs to be right more than twice a day.

[IWasThere2016]

You need a new clock. It needs to be right more than twice a day.

Think he means a stopped clock - cos in ma hoose if the clock is 5 mins slow, it is 5 mins slow all day (rather like BH :wink: :greengrin)

Not sure Brown will start next season.

C'mon Speedy spill the beans ?

[Speedway]

C'mon Speedy spill the beans ?

No beans to spill H7, I just think we'll bring in a keeper who becomes first choice, that's all.

McPake being unveiled tomorrow could well be right though as I had a message from a CCFC 'insider' who tells me that their manager has told McPake he's free to go.

haha same Michalik is awesome on there!

[Vault Boy]

Brown ... worse than inadequate

But he isn't really.

[500miles]

I don't get the problem Don't remember many howlers, a few decent saves, and kicks like he's got his feet on backwards.

Certainly at ICT, he was the most prolific shot stopper in the league, so he must have some ability on that score. And he conducts himself professionally.

I think he's a victim of the "Aw, everyone's *****, so he must be ***** too." mentality.

Mcpake said a couple of months ago he'd just seen the new strips and they were the best hibs tops he'd seen so i think there's been an assumption since then it was the photo shoot for the new strips that was being done that day.

Apologies Andy if you do in fact have other info or been doing some columbo work.

[Billychaotic182]

Heard we are close to signing Hulk Hogan.

See I heard we were signing Ric Flair? Don't think them too will be able to work together

Personally i think his best years are behind him.

[scoopyboy]

I'm sure the "models" were James McPake, Paul Hanlon and possibly Lewis Stevenson.

We will soon find out if that is correct.

[MrSmith]

RIC flair not Hibs class, hogan too stiff and cannae run any more... looking at the miz, cm punk and James storm, although these guys are a bit out of our budget, suicide, brutus and edge will be unveiled today.

[DAVE1875]

That mean we're signing Big Show as goalie & Kane & The Undertaker as central defenders?

[R'Albin]

That would be great. The bad news is I've heard we're hiring Daniel Bryan to replace Fife Hyland. Poor move IMO as we already have enough 'Yes' men in the boardroom.

[Speedway]

Anyone heard a whisper about us signing Jennings from the Mothers?

[bingo70]

Anyone heard a whisper about us signing Jennings from the Mothers?

on the BBC gossip column he's turned down a deal with Motherwell and looking for another club, i thought he had agreed to go down south though, Rotherham maybe?

[GordonHFC]

Did the rounds a couple of weeks back but all went quiet. Thought he was off down south.

[Leishy1995]

Only cares about himself, likes to show off. Claims he can back it up.
I'd rather we got Sheamus as a target man.

[Edinburgh Green]

Anyone heard a whisper about us signing Jennings from the Mothers?

Hope so, had a look on their messageboard when we signed Clancy and Jennings got very good write ups.

[SMAXXA]

Come to check this thread out for genuine signing rumours and spend most of the time trailing through pages of complete guff about the huns and other pish.

Apparently signing "in next couple of days".

[--------]

I'm not blaming S&S or any other poster.

But I don't see why the club couldn't issue a short statement to the effect that they've signed this player, that player and the other player, and that there will be a full press conference on Saturday/Monday/Tuesday/whatever to introduce the new players to the media and fans.

They want us all to rally round with our four-hundred-poundses, but they won't tell us what if anything our four-hundred-poundses will buy us ... :rolleyes:

[SouthamptonHibs]

C'mon Hibs where's all the signings? We need at least ten more players of better quality than we have! Pointless bringing out new kits etc we should be concentrating on a team 5 weeks till season starts.....it looks as if we'll be doing it the Hibs way and waiting till the season starts before we have a full squad

[Alfred E Newman]

If the club want the 2500 missing season ticket holders to renew then they will have to produce some evidence that they are serious about bringing in a better standard of player instead of trying to make them feel guilty by spinning the usual line.

No, but I would still have liked to see some players brought in this week. Is there a problem with that?

Pinch of salt mate. I dont believe for one second that hibs are not active in the transfer market at the moment, so the "nothing much really" comment IMO is a load of s****.

I'd like to hear more about Dean Shiels returning at the moment. And I'd like 4 or 5 good players to join as well.

I'd love to see Deano back. He's got the quality we are so desperately looking for in midfield.

[Billychaotic182]

I heard the we may sign McPake today ;)

I doubt it mate, i can see him staying and seeing his contract out at Coventry.

Transfer window has technically JUST opened and we have two months to find players with "bottle" to wear the bottle kit (best kit in years IMHO)

Kenny Millar seems to think Pat has a busy weekend ahead of him, so there should hopefully be more names soon.

Midfielder standing at 5'9". Creative and a bit of pace about him. Scored a decent number of goals last year in the first division.

Heard he got married and was away on his honeymoon which has delayed him from signing.

Only 24 but has been tipped to go onto better things than the first division.

Very pleased if he is signing or having his medical.

Also hope that

(1) He doesn't have a Ferrari

(3) That if he finds himself in a Land Rover in Hope Street he can spell Johnstone
(4) That he can outrun a cop with a headstart

OK, which one of you has been on Wikipedia and put him down as a Hibs player already? :wink:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Cairney

[Ferryhibby]

dont know that much about him along with the vast majority of fans, but he cant be any worse than the drivel we had last year and if he makes one forward run and beats a couple of players with it hel have done more than las seasons midfield welcome aboard the hibbie train

Heard he will miss some preseason training due to a
















Groin strain !!!!!!
Whatever could he have been doing to get that!!!!
LOL

[HibbyAndy]

He will be unveiled tomorrow.

[SMAXXA]

Sounds good he will get all the time to settle in from me and won't give the lad stick if he doesn't hit the ground running.

I'm also less concerned about signing any more centre mids, I'm more hopefull we will sign a couple of pacey decent wingers, these are the players that can win us games when the forwards aint at the races imo.

Something we gave lacked for years, tricky player that can beat a man.

[SMAXXA]

Paul Dixon signs for Huddersfield.

That was announced at the start of the week.

Did swanson sign for peterborough or whoever it was?

get him signed up. A goalie and a few forwards next.

[WestEndHibee]

Asked a Partick fan about him and he's apparently very comfortable on the ball and can pick out a great pass from 30 yards. Whether or not he'll be able to do it a stage higher is another question but I'm happy with this if it comes to fruition.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

I'd like another defender, couple more midfield options aswell

If true and we can afford him then go fur it I saw. The type of player we have missed for ages.

Last I heard we were looking at him and sounded like a good option to partner McPake.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

I hear awful things from a Leeds supporting fri8end.

[Hibercelona]

I'm not overly optimistic about this one.

He gets nick named "The Giraffe". I hope this is due to his height and not a slant on his level of awareness. :wink:

Know what your saying but he is exactly what we need in midfield, I would swallow my pride and go and pick him up now if was to sign for us, plus it would really wind a fair few Jambos up:wink:

:agree:

We need a player that can get stuck in, get nasty and control a midfield like Black does, someone who can be intimidating. Black is a horrible little rat but thats what makes him good, he gets in players faces and doesn't pansy around like many of our midfielders do. He had Stevenson in his back pocket on May 19, you could see Stevenson was feared to go near him therefore Black was allowed to do exactly what he wanted and had acres of space to do it in.

dont want to sound paranoid but if black was a Hibs player he would probably get sent off every second week.

Id love it if we had someone in our team that made other fans say that, but the majority of them are far from intimidating. People will have their own opinions, but Black would be an ideal signing for us imo, he has plenty of ability, a desire to win and a mental toughness thats sorely lacking at the moment. Hes far better than any of our current midfielders.

Like a Golf, but not a Golf- that what you mean? :devil:



The only practical reservation I have about him has already been voiced - just because he got away with it as a Hearts player doesn't mean he'd get away with it as a Hibs player.

I don't like the guy, but I can see his practical usefulness in a team that has struggled to assert itself at home for three or four seasons now. TBH, right now I'd take Joey Barton if he were free and available and willing to come to ER.

[SouthamptonHibs]

I don't care who we sign and from which teams we sign them from. All i want is better players than we currently have. We are starting from rock bottom. We have a great chance to finish 2nd maybe even win a cup if we get the right players in! Rangers r bust and Hearts have weakend. We just need a team thats better than Well and United to get 2nd IMO

What makes anyone with all their marbles think that?

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

What makes anyone with all their marbles think that?

At this stage with the players we currently have I agree, however, once we have our team in place, if the target is not 'finish the best of the rest' then why turn up as a player or supporter?

I think we need to be making good progress, something that would hopefully get us a top 6 place. Talk of 2nd is just daft in my opinion, christ imagine we dont make it, some fans would be shouting for managers players and tea ladys to be sacked.

We had folk telling us 4th was not good enough, because we did not get 3rd. 2nd place is not even on my radar, look at how we have faired over the last 2 seasons, we are starting from a very low base, with many teams above us much better than us.

We all hope the players we bring in are good, but ffs talk of 2nd place is a little premature.

[Iceman1875]

Ian Black football ability wise yes, cocaine snorting annoying hearts fan prick, no.

We have to be thinking 2nd is achievable if we sign another 6-9 decent players. Hearts are much weaker than last season and Rangers are bust. Im willing to believe that beating United snd Well to 2nd place is not that far fetched. Finishing 5/6th this year would be a poor season IMO. ps if we don't sign any decent players our currentvsquad would be relegated /in relegation battle as off the team we have today. If Pats the man and Petrie releases some funds we r in a great position to finish 2nd imo.

If Pat's the man.

If we've actually got any money to 'release'.

If we can sign between 6 and 9 decent players.

I can see us finishing 2nd or 3rd.

Big IFS though aren't they?

[DC_Hibs]

What makes anyone with all their marbles think that?

Why would anyone with all their marbles be discussing Ian Black to Hibs.

The only chance we have is half an hour before the window closes and he hasn't been snapped up for a decent wage down south. Even then he'd phone Tynecastle first giving them first pop.

Move on guys to more realistic targets FFS.

Agree they are big "IF's" but thats the beauty off pre season a club like Hibs must believe that we can finish the best off the rest each season as a minimum. Starting with any other thought ie finishing mid table is just unacceptable imo. During the season we have plenty of time to measure actual results v expectations.
Im hoping we get the players we need...with Rangers going bust its now we need to do everything to finish second as they'll be back in the SPL within a few years

[lucky]

I'd take Black at Hibs but its not going to happen. As for facing relegation I doubt it every much it will be Dundee or the Pars and they will be down April.

I hope we are 2ND, but im not daft enough to say we should be aiming for it. Then state if this happens and that happens we might get. I will settle for progression. From 11th to 2ND only on here.

Ill be happy with a wee tidy 4th place finish, Even that's pushin it.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

If we were to aim for 2nd and finish 3rd/4th then would it really be so bad? If we aim for a top 6 and finish 6th/7th I would be disappointed.

It's a mindset thing for me, if you believe you can finish the best of the rest then you have a chance. Go in thinking top 6 then we're in danger of mediocre thinking/performances.

And I do believe it's realistic giving the budget we have compared to others.

A few decent signings and it's game on. Look at what Mowbray done and what McLeish achieved with changing the squads they inherited.

In my opinion of course! This is Hibs so we could have Spain's team and still finish 11th :greengrin

[ScottB]

Everything below Celtic is wide open next season. Motherwell may lose a couple more players, can't see United adding many players, Hearts have lost some key players etc etc.

If we can add a couple more players of McPake type quality and generally improve the squad then i don't see why we shouldn't be aiming for 2nd place. Not saying we will finish 2nd place by any means, but it is what we should be aiming for. The rewards are there for the taking next season.

I have no problem aiming for 2nd, what i dont understand is anyone actually thinking we can make 2nd. We are pish, and have been pish for quite a while. We will sign players, we look like we have signed 3 now.

We start from so much lower than those who finished 20-30 points above us, and of course these teams wont be sitting on their erse waiting for us to catch up?

Every season we have a poll on where we will finish, and even i have put us in at 4th when we have been nowhere near 4th at the end.

At least when i said 4th it was on the back of a 4th place finish the season before. We have finished 10th and 11th, 6th place would be real progress next season, but i fear with some if we dont make 2nd, some folk will hyper ventilate at the failure?

As i said earlier, 11th to 2nd, only on here. :rolleyes:

[Littlest Hobo]

Take it you'd not be happy if he signed? What about Zal or Temps?

I would bite yet hand off for any of the three, I don't care who they played for before. As long as they give 100%

To be honest, I followed this guy during the last transfer window and he didnae seem to be that accurate. He usually announces a signing just after it has been officially announced. Everything else is educated guesswork IMO.

Would be happy to take Garry, but not Dean, not sure why we look to take back some players that didnt really do much when they were here the last time. Ivan for example turned out to be a crap signing.

Its the other way round for me, i think Dean Sheils is a much improved player since he left, plus a more consistant one too.

He's a real playmaker these days in my opinion, plus he scores goals, nobody can question his fitness or desire either.

Would be happy to take Garry, but not Dean, not sure why we look to take back some players that didnt really do much when they were here the last time. Ivan for example turned out to be a crap signing.

I don't want Shiels either, it appears he's improved since he left us but i still don't really know what his best position is, he appears to be a luxury player that plays in 'the floating role' and i'm not sure we can accomodate that position just now.

I'd rather we bought a winger with some genuine pace and ability to beat a man and get a cross in.

I've no time for GoC either, guy seems like a total erse and i'm fed up of having them at our club, let's get some proper professionals in.

Ivan was crap when he first joined, no left foot, no cross, couldnae pass, didnae backtrack

Agreed, I dont want either of them (although Id much rather have Shiels than GOC).

IF he is going back for GoC then the assumption must be that Griff isnt coming back. Bad move. Last thing the dressing room neeeds.

I don't know like, i reckon the guy has alot of wrongs he wants to put right, got to remember there was zero service to the front pair last season (and they still scored goals) however being supplied by a linking player like Shiels would probably double the amount of goals O'Connor plus one other will score.

They're both a couple of erses and we're well shot of them. IMO Griffiths is massively over rated as well so not worth the hassle he brings.

New team New attitude and all that

IMO one of the reasons they never got any service was because of there inability to hold the ball up to bring midfielders into the game, the both of them are selfish strikers and not team players.

That's right cause the ball was hit 40 yards in front of them all the time, of course no-one will hold that type of ball up or it was our midfield's inability to pick a perfectly timed pass. Most of the best forwards in the world are selfish.

Perhaps O'Connor isn't the type of person in the dressing room that we think he is??

For the Hibs fans who asked - Paul Cairney is in the same mould as Pat McGinley #GoalScoringMidfielder (https://twitter.com/#!/search/%23GoalScoringMidfielder)

Never knew much about cairney but if this quote from twitter is anything to go by, i can't wait to see him in action.

[Brightside]

I dont disagree. Fresh blood, new winning attitude required. Cairney a promising signing. Two strikers required. One experienced, one youth.

I'm not suggesting our midfield was like having Pirlo, Xavi and Iniesta supplying them as i agree the service wasn't great but they definately could have done better in terms of link up play than what they did.

Griffiths first touch normally had the ball bouncing about hip height and GoC couldnae control a bag of cement last season.

They both got a good number of goals and credit to them for that but it's not just about them, as much as it kills me to say it, look at hearts, they've constantly had strikers that couldnae hit a barn door but they've got team players up front that bring midfielders into the game and allows the likes of S**cel and previously Hartley to score goals from midfield.

He was definately out getting smashed after the cup final. If this new team is really going to have a new attitude then do we really need or want that kind of carachter in it?

If we sign GoC then my opinion is that this whole new attitude thing is just a marketing slogan and nothing else.

I agree, however these guys can score goals given the proper service and support and the YAMs have midfielders with desire and a willingness to get forward to support...name three Hibs players from midfield that have that mould? Wotherspoon is the only one and he only seems to play well when it's for Scotland

[Bill Milne]

I would have thought Gazza exemplified the bad attitudes that Fenlon wants to get rid of?
