A target man, a winger with a bit of skill, and a creative centre mid and I'll be relatively happy.

Craig Beattie (http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11788/7978948/Beattie-denied-Ibrox-move) insists money was not a factor in the collapse of his proposed move toRangers. The former Celtic and Hearts forward was wanted by Ibrox boss Ally McCoist but chief executive Charles Green has pulled the plug on a deal.

Worth a try?

We signed Deegan 'officially' the day before the Dundee Utd game IIRC but he couldnt be registered in time to play. Does this mean that the Yams would have to announce the signings of Skacel and Beattie today then if they were to be able to play on Sunday? Or will it be different because they played for them last season?

Thought his delay was down to awaiting international clearance from England. Don't think this would be a problem for a "Scottish" transfer.

The ironic thing about this and the other thread is that the only reasonable rumour appears to be Alan Maybury and we don't appear capable of closing the deal. Anyone know why?

Beattie is exactly the type of player we need. If we had any ambition whatsoever we should be offering him and James McFadden deals they would have to consider. Players of this calibre will be the only motivation for a large number of Hibbies to go through the turnstiles this season. GGTTH.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall at East Mains... what do they do with regards transfers? The one club in the league that needed major re-strengthening and the only club with no rumours apart from Maybury who is STILL not signed yet he has been with us for the entire pre-season.

It would be funny if it wasn't so sad the state we are in on the playing side

Hmmm... I know what you're saying but I see it another way...... .....

if it's a rumour (strong or otherwise) then it's got to be in the rumours thread...
if we've lost out on a player, then he's no longer rumoured to be coming so start a new thread on why we lost oot?

don't get me wrong a couple of posts then back on topic is ok, but sometimes we read pages of it before we find a rumour in the rumours thread..... and there's me bloody adding to it!!!! :panic:

I will second that. Never mind a target man, let's get some players who can create chances. If you have a creative midfield, then we will score goals. Griffiths and Doyle can finish, the young lads too. A big tough target man, without a creative midfield, very quickly will lapse into a one dimensional style of unimaginative kick and rush. This is not how I would like to see Hibs play.

LancsHibs
10-08-2012, 03:46 PM
your laughing but..................:wink:

To be honest I won't be laughing if we have passed up on making a move on Beattie, who is a proven SPL goal scorer for Gary Twigg. If you look at Twiggs career it's hardly inspiring: started off at Airdrie before moving to Oxford playing in the English Confernce and then Hamilton where he was unable to establish himself in their first team! He then when to Brechin City before moving to Shamrock Rovers where he has admittedly been banging in the goals, like he did for Brechin, but at what level? The LOI is a much lower standard than the SPL (I know our league isn't great but is still ranked higher than LOI which is currently ranked by UEFA between the leages of Azerbaijan & Lithuania). I would have hoped we would be signing Beattie over Twigg any day.
Maybe we are interested in Twigg, it is a name ive heard being mentioned before, and maybe we are not, if so and he comes to Hibs I will wish him well and pray he is a success. It would however, be a risky signing as he's now 28 and never played at anywhere near this level and would have to come into a team low on confidence and be expected to get results from the off. The managers reputation would be hanging on this signing!!

keep the faith
10-08-2012, 04:55 PM
I tend to ask this every transfer window (because every transfer window we have needed his type of player) but where is mikey stewart? By my reckoning he has been without a club for over 12 months. The fight and guile he can give would be welcome in this midfield for sure. I am of course ready to be shot down!!

There is a young laddie at Blackpool we are trying to sign. Attacking left midfielder. His cousin played in goals for me years ago. He says that the boy had Hibs connections and only looking for £1500 pw. Up to Hibs Just what I heard.

Surely thats the defence sorted for now so hopefully paddy is now looking to bring in some attacking options because there is no one in the current team that excited me when they get the ball. At least under calderwood we had riordan who could be a potential match winner but this current squad is crying out for some match winners. C'mon paddy/Petrie get some excitement back on the pitch

Straight from wikipedia so it may be doubtful

Beattie is definately a type we must have in this league,nothing surer than that and i'd be disgusted if he does end up at a club like the Saints, with all respects but if it is only money, then we really are in the poo poo, and if our manager was to say, he's not what we need then I think PF needs to walk.

Any names speeders?? I would imagine a winger and another MF possibly, maybe even another CF?

fife hfc
13-08-2012, 09:52 AM
I would noy get rid of O'Hanlon as we are very light in the centre half position, as Stephens is not the answer. I don't want us to have to move Clancy in the middle if Mcpake or Hanlon are out.

Sproule would be the one for me to move on as he will be on decent wages and if he is not a regular starter, then this wage could be better spent.

Nope, although he is free to go as is one other.

The back line is pretty versatile now. Maybury, Hanlon and I imagine even Clancy could play LB if needed, so theres no point in having these guys on the bench. Its a shame for Booth who looked like he had so much potential, but we need guys who are going to deliver.

I'd be sad if we got rid of Booth. I hope this is his season.

Kujabi now seems surplus to requirements unless he can be reinvented as a left winger.

13-08-2012, 10:09 AM
Booth is still young and can learn from Maybury and come back stronger. I still think with the squad at the moment he could play on the left of midfield and have Cairney in the centre. He would give us good width and can get a good ball into the middle.

I also feel sometimes people forget its a squad game and if a player is not in the starting XI then they should be sold. People like Stevenson, Booth and O'Hanlon are essential to have in our present state. I feel Stephens, Galbraith and Kujabi are three wages that could be better used.

fife hfc

Easton as back up? He would command a decent wage so can't see us paying him to be a back up. I would love us to do this as it would certainly give us a stronger squad but our back up players are usually not as good as our first XI due to the budget.

Thank heavens for some factual info - :applause:....

Hanlon will in 2 or 3 years be seen as Steven Fletcher is now. Even in the bonkers world of SFA he has consistently played and captained with the best younsters from clubs much bigger than us in the U21's

If he is left to partner McPake we will see the best of both of them in time.

Not that I'm aware.

However everybody has their price and if somebody came in with say a two million pound bid then I think Hibs would be gagging for him to go.

Note - I said £2m cos that is what Daniel Wilson went for and recently in u21 matches Paul has been the better of the two, I don't however think we would be offered that amount.

I think Hanlon has looked better than Wilson too. His fee rises to £5m based on appearances, but when he was bought aged 18 or so i am guessing Liverpool thought he would maybe progress a bit better than he has?

He's an out and out left winger, would be great signing if he could regain form of 4/5 years back. Another player who hasn't played much football in the last few years (I think). Think he had loan spells at Charlton maybe and at one point commanded a fee of about £2m but he's struggled to get a regular game in recent years. Which is no disgrace looking at QPR's squad for last 2/3 years.

That's my recollection of him but might be wrong about recent appearance record. Definitely a skilful player with good delivery.

Swindonfan
15-08-2012, 10:21 AM
All swindon fans would be gutted if wee Caddy left us. Was best attacking right back in league 2 last year and we expect him to be same in league one.

From what we are told he become a dad in the summer and maybe his attention to training is lost. Dicanio dont take any crap from players. They do training morning and afternoon and on sundays and they have to eat together. He suggesting Caddis lost focus and isnt the same player as last year. Had big rant saying like a brickie with 4 kids doesnt moan about things, he just gets up and gets on with it. Dicanio thinks if you give players and inch they take a mile.


The only way i can see Caddy returning to Scotland is because of his misses. And only on loan as no club up there could afford what we wanted. Has been suggested interest from Ipswish and Sheff Utd but hopefully that is just rubbish rumours.


For a season i think Kuqi might be ok. Certainly offer the ability to win some headers upfront. Brewster was old and still giving a team something, think Kuqi could do the same. I can see it going right down to transfer deadline day and Hibs getting a couple of loans in from down south. Ecclestone at Liverpool is often suggested as promising and has been loaned out a few times. Scored in Ireland last night for a liverpool 11.

Yeah but I was thinking with him switching from FA to SFA and not directly from overseas we wouldn't have to do that.

A big, strong striker with a footballing brain that's absorbed tens of international appearances and a thunderous shot on him?

With the standard of the SPL being weaker than back then, can potentially see this being Sauzee-esque if he really wants to play for the club. Sauzee brought calm at the back, can see Kuqi being super-composed against a lot of the SPL defenders and giving Sparky a ton of space. Goals galore.

(Before anyone says, Sauzee was easily the better player, but you see where I'm coming from)

Sodje was a ***** footballer but because he was strong he scored a good amount of goals.

Kuqi is strong, has a rocket of a shot and has played at a very high standard, and the SPL is at the lowest level of quality that I can remember by some way. If he wants to play, he's going to terrify a lot of defenders.

It all depends on his attitude; PF seems to be good about picking players with the right attitude so I trust him fully.

Happy with the signing as he is exactly the type of player we need. PF is improving the spine of the team and we are looking stronger now than a couple of weeks back that is for sure. Think Sparky will benefit enormously from this type of player alongside him. The fact he played 40 games at Oldham last season is also an encouraging sign given his age of course players can get injured at any time.

- Jag väljer hellre Skottland än de lägre divisionerna i England. Hiberian ville verkligen ha mig, så nu är jag väldigt taggad, säger Kuqi i ett pressmeddelande.
Under torsdagen genomgår Kuqi en läkarundersökning hos sin nya klubb, innan saken är helt klar.
Före Kuqi har även finländarna Mixu Paatelainen, Jarkko Wiss och Jonathan Johansson spelat för Edinburgh-klubben.

He was in the same class at school as my son and I've watched him play from the age of 8. He's always been head and shoulders above the rest up to now. A real nice guy.
He had a broken leg in his mid teens that held him back a wee bit but is obviously well over that now.
He's certainly got potential but has not yet imposed himself in the Aberdeen team - He'd be worth a shout but we'd need to pay compensation.

Yeah I remember that, Ivan was the "offender" if I recall.

I honestly think that game was a pretty important one with both sides veering off into totally different directions afterwards. Aberdeen went on an unbeaten run right after and we just collapsed. I wonder what would've happened had the game finished 0-0?

Also sodje missed a sitter to make it 1-1 with about 2 minutes to go. CT made sure we were getting nothing from that game. All ifs and buts though lad. No point in worrying about it now.

I heard that rumour too - not sure what he would necessarily bring, other than something different to what we already have in terms of natural shape. Doesn't really create an awful lot and doesn't score. Unconvinced.

However both need a full time physio given the amount of time they spend on the treatment table. Pawlett isn't for me - I always get a little worried when I see young lads hitting treatment tables more than the pitch. There are always occasions where luck deals you an unlucky hand in football but Pawlett seems to be injured throughout the season. Much like Galbraith. Strangely enough both are very skilled players too. I think PP also went off injured on Tuesday with the 21's (but will stand corrected).

I'd like Hibs to have gone for Nicky Riley at Dundee however I think he has committed to them this season and signed a new deal. If we are still in the hunt for Forsyth then I'd be over the moon (different player to Pawlett and Co but can also play outside left type position - and has physicality/height to his game).

If Pawlett can't get a game because a similar player that has been brought in is better, and Aibirdeen have nae erse left in their troosers to speak of, I would wonder why we didn't go for the player that is keeping Pawlett out, if he is of a type that we need?
