Just back from shops and a good flick through all the Sunday's. According to the Scottish Sunday Express or Mail (can't remember which) Hibs are set to sign McPake after Paddy gave the best pitch to Coventry despite (alleged) interest from Dundee Utd, Hearts, Dunfermline and others. Would be great news IMO given the high regard the guy seems to be held in. :thumbsup:

Is he a right or left sided centre back?

Good to see the manager prioritise signings in the areas needed most. Hope this is true!

Here's hoping.

We were woeful in the centre of defence at times yesterday.

would welcome this guy with open arms.. that defence of ours is leakier than a colander with extra holes in it. Glad we are through in the cup, but shipping 2 goals against the bue brazil says it all :s

I wonder what tactics hearts used to try and sign him. He probably would have joined them not that long ago and I hope this the way its going to be from now on. What goes around comes around.

why would ANY right minded player want to sign for Hearts? they haven't a hope in hell of attracting decent players now.
Liking the sound of McPake though....

An IOU promising to pay the money for him as soon as it became available.

Sorry if already posted, I know we haven't had the best of luck when signing players with videos on 'Youtube', but looks a good one. :thumbsup:

Looks kind of what O'Hanlon should have been, no nonsense machine of a defender who gets well stuck in.

That's what I thought from watching this, took his goal nicely as well, look's to be a good signing if it happens. :agree:

had a chat with a Cov city season ticket holder about this guy,he said he was decent but always injured! Hasn't had any game time since he done his back (think it was broke /fractured)
Not keen on signing him....we need someone who can play week in week out that's match fit! plus he ain't even playing for Cov City and there bottom ooh the league

It is at the moment...until next week comes along but I guess when it does it will still be this week then just like last week was this week until this week came along.

Glad I cleared that up.

I read this week on a Coventry site that CCFC wouldnt allow him to go until a replacement (sub?) is in.

Highly rated by their fans but not a loss due to injuries.

McPake is following the Hibs ladies coach on twitter. :hmmm:

Seriously though, hope we get him, we needed a RB and CB and we are half way there, so signing McPake would be good.

Is that his best bits or just an average McPake day?

:agree: Hope he's over his back trouble - looks to be a cracking defender with just the sort of attitude we need - I think he'd be worth the risk assuming he's now fit and ready to go. Come on Pakesy - sign on the dotted line :hyper:

So just to confirm the excitment, we are looking to bolster our shaky defence with a player whom has started 2 games for a team that are bottom of their respective league?

That is if Dunfermline don't sign him before us.

You could say a player who is better than we have at present in the opinion of those in a position to meke changes.
That way it's not as negative but preserves the anti positive tradition through a degree of neutrality.

I second this.

I think he is waiting to see who wins the "six Pointer" before deciding on us or them. :greengrin

Spoke to a big Coventry City fan today about McPake, says he is a really strong CH and would be sorry o see him go. Sounds like a good signing and just what we need:thumbsup: Only negative is he says he is a bit injury pone and he believes is a current incumbent of their treatment table.
States that he would not be surprised if this happened and Cov should be easy to do business with as hy are in financial do-dos!

Notice Coventry signed Hermann Hreidarsson from Portsmouth today. Wonder if deal might be on now? Anyone know?

Seriously, why would any player want to sign for an old fashioned team like us who pay the wages on time every month.
