Good to see we are looking at a winger. Need right sided defensive cover though.

Looking at the article it seems we have a bit of competition from Sunderland & Ipswich, hopefully it does not come down to wages.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Pat Fenlon is plotting a double raid on the League of Ireland this January as he seeks to bolster his Hibernian side by taking two of the league’s most promising players.

The former Bohemians supremo is expected to launch a bid to take Chris Forrester from St Patrick’s Athletic and Ronan Finn from Shamrock Rovers, who both impressed this season and at 19 and 24 respectively are expected to have bright futures ahead of them. Both players remain under contract to their current clubs and will command a fee.

Hibs have enjoyed a great start to the Scottish Premier League this season and currently sit top, putting last year’s relegation dog fight and cup final heartbreak firmly behind them in the process.

A club employee revealed that the move for the duo is firmly in the pipeline, saying, “Pat obviously has great connections in Ireland and it is something the club have been working off. We have been examining numerous videos of players throughout the season and both Forrester and Finn excelled”.

Hibs will face a battle from Sunderland to net Forrester’s signature, with Martin O’Neill having watched the fledgling youngster in the Supersaints recent FAI cup final defeat to Derry City. It is also believed that new Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy may be considering a bid for the former Bohs ace, who he previously had on trial at Wolves.

However it is believed the Dubliner would favour a switch to Easter Road, where he would be re-united with Fenlon with the source adding, “Pat’s knowledge and past experience of working with Chris will be crucial in his final destination”.

Sounds very promising. Would make some sense in that Hibs would be less of a jump from the Irish league than the other leagues mentioned. Hopefully PF can encourage a few more decent Irish players here as it is IMO a very good source of good players.

Finn still has a year of his contract to run, so would require a fee.

Agree. Those three have got to be our top priority. But if those two Irish players are good enough and will strengthen the team, then I fully back Pat to go and get them. But like you said, getting McGivern, Claros & Griffiths is majorly priority number 1.

Your mate must read the same paper as me-Miller's not sure if he'd get a game now we're top of the league.

We should get Griffiths to sign a pre contract in December tieing him to us with the promise that he'll get a signing on fee in the region of the amount we would have to pay Wolves for his transfer.

He is a bit of a lightweight though, but a few months of the Eoin Doyle porridge diet and he could be a great player in the SPL.

Exactly. Strengthen because we want to, not because we have to.

St Pat's fans talking about £1m for Forrester!

Griffiths, McGivern, Claros have to be top priorities for January, as well as a new contract for Wotherspoon.

A speedy winger would be nice since Sproule & Galbraith are on the way out.

Erskine at Thistle is something of a late developer, having come through the Ayrshire juniors. On song, he is an entertainer (left sided but not quick) and the improved fitness programme Jackie Mac junior has introuduced at Firhill has worked wonders for him.
Jags using Glasgow Uni sports scientists and nutritionists. The manager will be keeping an eye on Jaconelli's cafe on Maryhill Road to make sure none of his players are nipping in for the mega breakfasts or an ice cream with that toxic 'rasperberry' goo.
Ex-Motherwell guys Lawless & Forbes doing well for Jags, Sean Welsh suffering from a few injury problems again but well thought of by Thistle fans.

I agree.

I didn't fully get my point across. What I meant to say was that its great that I hadn't even considered new players when I'd normally be thinking about what we need in advance of previous windows (everything!). Trying to get a few tied down and adding a couple would be excellent.

For a host of reasons I hope he gives it (and Hibs give it) serious thought mate - I'd love to see Kenny back and it would give the club a huge boost at an important time in the season. Experience in bucketloads, good finisher, tireless worker even now, great spokesperson as well - and great for young Danny, Ross and Jay Doyle to have on the training ground to bounce off.

Get back on the blower to him cat my man !

Ok lets see we manage to keep a hold of Griffiths, Claros, and McGivern through a mixture of extended loans/contracts. Plus we manage to add one or two players who come in and hit the ground running and start contributing almost immediately.

I would say this scenario would be unlikely but certainly not impossible.

What do people therefore think we could go on to achieve this season if this did happen?

Personally, I think that if we were lucky with injuries and Celtic continue with the way they have been dropping points so far then we just could take our challenge at the top quite far if not right to the death.

No, no he does not. Precisely the reason a lot of folk get on his back for Scotland. He's got 20-30 minutes a game of that all-action Kenny Miller who has been very effective in his career. Would still take him back though, as Kuqi seems to be a total non-entity. If he isn't fit by now, he never will be.

Would be great if we could get Kenny Miller in. At his age he isn't going to be the same player he was 4 or 5 years ago but I have no doubt he could still do a job in the SPL, and as some have already mentioned i'm sure he would be useful in bringing on the likes of Caldwell and Handling.

I would hope he has now made more than enough money to set him up for life and that he wouldn't be too difficult to deal with re wages.

Would love this to come off, I'm sure Kenny, who is only 32, would still do a good job in the SPL and would be a great signing for us, as long as we still held on to Leigh that is.

January will be an interesting month for us and will tell us a lot about our chances in maintaining a challenge at the top end of the league.

It's unlikely Celtic will continue in the same manner with their greater squad depth.

I posted a thread recently and Celtic had te same amount of points this season as they did last season and look how that ended up. Hope I'm wrong.

I'd like to see anyone win the league over Celtic with the exception of the obvious.

Dear Kenny,

I apologise for shouting at the TV during Scotland games when you've ****ed something up. Like the time against holland when we were winning one nil and you for the ball on the edge of the box and ran at the wrong angle taking you away from goal and narrowing the angle and lost the chance.

But I did go mental when you scored against Italy so that cancels it out.

See you soon!

Magic, well done mate and wherever he goes I wish him well - I just think he'd be brilliant for the young strikers we have. Young Danny reminds me of Kenny in so many ways - mannerism, attitude, style of play, temperament - Danny could be his wee padawan :-)

Kenny was one of the brightest talents I've witnessed at Easter Road for years and years - I was gutted when he left and I thought Hibs could have doubled their value of him - he had everything in my opinion. For all his detractors of late I tell you what, the boy hasn't half worked hard for what he's got - not many his age still playing with the energy and enthusiasm he has - that's why I think he'd be crucial to the new Hibs ethos under Pat.

Wouldn't mind seeing him at Hibs. Think he is a good player but is just not getting a fair chance under that clown Lennon. But then again, would Celtic be interested in selling a player, who on his day can tear defences to shreds, to one of its title rivals? :)

I know for a fact he will appreciate reading that. I was of the same mind as you. Thought we may have got more if he stayed on. But again the chance to join Rangers with the money he was getting was just to much to turn down. He has worked hard for everything he's got. He'll tell you himself he's no the beat finisher but at least he's kept the head and done well out a short career.

Agree with this COMPLETELY! I loved going along to Easter Road to watch Kenny Miller, he was a great player for us! Scored alot of important goals for us and some beauties too! I have NEVER understood the amount of criticism that some people dish out to Miller. As you say, the guy is a very hard working man and shows incredible energy and enthusiasm. Heck i've still witnessed him scoring some cracking goals in recent years with Scotland, Celtic, Rangers and Cardiff. People who don't rate Kenny Miller are off there heads IMO. Great player and as you say, would fit in perfectly in the way that Pat is developing us with his ethos.

I'd be DELIGHTED if we signed Miller, delighted!!

Miller became my favourite Hibs player for a short while when I was a child. We were losing 2 - 0 to Kilmarnock (I think) and brought Kenny on just before half time; we went in at the break level on 2 - 2. I don't remember much at all about this game aside from the fact that when we brought him on the game changed dramatically, with him getting a goal and an assist (I think). I also remember that I wasn't in my seat in the FF so it could have either been away from home/cup or prior to me having a ST.

He's not the same player now, obviously, but I have no doubts that he still has something to offer a club like ourselves.

Its funny the little snippets of things we remember as kids.

one thing I would say is I would hope Kenny would make it possible and not look for much of a wage if he did come, he's made his money and could come back to where it all began and pay back the club for giving him the platform to such an excellent career. Obviously it was his talent that got him there but we gave him the chance and he was idolised whilst he was at Hibs.

Is there still genuine good guys left in the game that can see past the coin? I hope so.

He was only 4 years older than me when i met him in the almond suite after he was just breaking into the team, He was down to earth and happy to chat away and enjoy a drink with the fans.

Believe me mate he's made his money, all he wants is to come back to where it began and like you just said repay the club for giving him the chance to make it.

After the Scottish cup final he called and said if "we" don't win it In my playing days with Hibs I'll win it when I'm manager". He honestly loves Hibs and I've never met a footballer who hates Hearts as much as him. He would be a great addition to Hibs on and off the park. I'm maybe biased as I always want to see him do well but I think what he's learned over the years would help the young lads. Even having Kenny as a sub and bringing him on with him and Leigh up front would be a CH nightmare.

I was a huge admirer of young Kenny as he broke into the first team at ER and have followed his career with interest. Always hoped he'd do well (except at Ibrox :greengrin) and to be honest I reckon he's made a positive impact wherever he's gone.

Scored a fair few for Hibs but my favourite was his goal at the PBS in the Millennium Derby :thumbsup:

I think if we could get all our Loanees signed up, there is not many areas of the park that i think we really need to strengthen. Just look at adding a bit of depth to the team.

Saying that i would take Kenny Miller back. I can imagine Wolves will be having a rethink on Leigh if he keeps banging them away or Celtic will buy him to ruin his career (see exhibit A. Deeks)

Even if he took a cut in wages he would still be one of our highest, if not the highest earner. Young blood is what we need.

Coming to Hibs would probably give the young guy the best chance of playing, but the lure of massive wages at those other clubs might tempt him.

First and foremost Id hope we can get the 3 loanees signed up (whether on an extension or permanently), then look at bringing in other players. I actually wouldnt mind Kenny Miller, I think hes rubbish at international level but Id be happy enough for him as back up in the SPL!

He actually never grew up supporting anyone as he said he always played on a sat and just enjoyed watching football. When he signed on at Hibs that's when he started to support us and when he left we would still go back to watch Hibs. Sadly the game against Hearts at ER was his last. The one where we won 2-0 and Cruiz scored after 36 seconds or something. When we left he was spat on and got dogs abuse and called called a Hun B*****d. His dad and bro are Rangers fans but Kenny defo isn't.

I'd love him to return, he's still a very good player by SPL standards. He's had his critics when playing for Scotland, mainly due to the system we have played.

He's always given his all, he's always turned up when others have had mysterious injurys that miraculously have disappeared by the weekend.

Its not his fault successive managers have kept picking him for the national team, and being a proud Scot he has never refused the offer, even though a lot of us have wanted someone else picked.

Come back Kenny, i'd personally love to see it.:thumbsup:

I understand that mate but surly he would have to make the first move, I can't see hibs approaching his current team who probs pay 10 times his wages unless Kenny has approached hibs to say he wants to come and at minimal cost, or his agent whatever way.

Point still stands I think Kenny would have to make this happen and not necessarily hibs to instigate.

Ideal scenario for me would be:

Griffiths extended until summer, then sign up on a free
Claros extended until summer, then negotiate for a permanent
McGivern extended until summer, then sign up on a free

Sign the two Irish boys in January, with transfer fees
Kenny Miller 2 month loan in January

Then just one more CB brought in Jan

and we're set for a bright season, with Petrie not having to splash too much cash in terms of fees.

15-11-2012, 11:32 AM
Seems a no brainer to me. If he wants to come for a short term deal and the finances allow then it's a perfect fit. Hibs results sometimes dip after a good start and this would help keep the feel good factor around ER. Allow for the current strikers to rotate, should LG stay in Jan, and then a push from March onwards with a fresher LG and ED.

Looking at Miller's Wiki, can't believe he only played 45 times for Hibs, just shows how the memory banks play tricks, could've sworn he played more than that for us.

Kenny Miller was my all time favourite when I was a kid after I saw him play in a friendly against Fort William. My dad went into Easter Road with a card before my 8th Birthday and asked if Kenny could sign it. He wrote quite a long message in it too. It was my prized possession for years. Would love to see him in bottle green. He gets criticism for his Scottish displays but imho that's nothing to do with him and all to do with the way the team is set out. Always gives 100%.

He'll tell you himself he's no the beat finisher but at least he's kept the head and done well out a short career.

I would argue that when he broke into the Hibs first team he was a natural born goal scorer and great finisher, as exemplified by the type of goals that he scored (away at Dundee and Tynie, goals against the OF at ER to name but a few), but that got knocked out of him after he moved elsewhere and was played out of position (think Glenn Hoddle had him playing wing back at Wolves at one point) - but his adaptability has no doubt prolonged his career in international football and at the level he was playing league football at until recently (Kris Boyd and many others have learned that if you can't play up front on your own, you won't play in many really big games for Rangers or up front for Scotland).

Would love to see him back at Hibs but is he not on a lot of money at Vancouver? If he were to come on loan we would have to cover at least some of that, regardless of whether he has made his money or not.

When he first broke through he had that rawness that a new players has. Where he fears nothing and will just shoot on sight. When he had time to think that's when i think he maybe missed most of his chances later in his career. Your correct about Hoddle playing him right back a few times. Kenny at the time couldn't believe it but now he thinks playing other positions has vastly improved his game and the reason i also think managers still pick him today. His awareness is great. (My opinion anyway) he works hard as well and by doing that i think that would free up space for say Leigh as Kenny can drag CH out of position. I think Leigh works the channels well and if we had both those guys up front even if it's only a couple of months the young lads could also benefit from it. That's obviously just my view anyway.

Pat Fenlon is plotting a double raid on the League of Ireland this January as he seeks to bolster his Hibernian side by taking two of the league’s most promising players.

The former Bohemians supremo is expected to launch a bid to take Chris Forrester from St Patrick’s Athletic and Ronan Finn from Shamrock Rovers, who both impressed this season and at 19 and 24 respectively are expected to have bright futures ahead of them. Both players remain under contract to their current clubs and will command a fee.

Hibs have enjoyed a great start to the Scottish Premier League this season and currently sit top, putting last year’s relegation dog fight and cup final heartbreak firmly behind them in the process.
A club employee revealed that the move for the duo is firmly in the pipeline, saying, “Pat obviously has great connections in Ireland and it is something the club have been working off. We have been examining numerous videos of players throughout the season and both Forrester and Finn excelled”.

Hibs will face a battle from Sunderland to net Forrester’s signature, with Martin O’Neill having watched the fledgling youngster in the Supersaints recent FAI cup final defeat to Derry City. It is also believed that new Ipswich Town manager Mick McCarthy may be considering a bid for the former Bohs ace, who he previously had on trial at Wolves.

However it is believed the Dubliner would favour a switch to Easter Road, where he would be re-united with Fenlon with the source adding, “Pat’s knowledge and past experience of working with Chris will be crucial in his final destination”.

Meanwhile, Fenlon has described reports claiming he is set to make a move for two players – Chris Forrester of St Patrick’s Athletic (http://www.hibs.net/#), and Shamrock Rovers’ Ronan Finn – in the January transfer window, as “absolute rubbish”, the Hibs manager making clear his first priority is to extend the deals of loan stars Leigh Griffiths, Jorge Claros and Ryan McGivern.

At the 'business end' of the season a player like Kenny would (or will) be vital - Hibs this season have been fortunate that the creative players and those that score goals have been injury and suspension free - Cairney, Doyle and Leigh (and Dee) account for our goals and to an extent our points tally.

I'm always a champion of young players and whilst I am eager for Danny Handling and Alex Harris in particular to get a chance and progress, when we get to 10 games to go, Hibs hopefully being in the top 4 and pushing for 2nd/3rd, you need a player who, if we get a wee injury or two to the players mentioned, can step in without even thinking about it, play the pressure games, and provide the same level of workrate and commitment.

He still is an international player remember - and still scores goals at that level too. Absolute no brainer for me - get him in for the last 4 months and get a Euro place secured and a few really good wins under our belts against the teams we have struggled against the last wee while (top 6 teams).

Slight technical flaw - the MLS season starts again in March, so Jan and Feb is all we could get.

At the 'business end' of the season a player like Kenny would (or will) be vital - Hibs this season have been fortunate that the creative players and those that score goals have been injury and suspension free - Cairney, Doyle and Leigh (and Dee) account for our goals and to an extent our points tally.

I'm always a champion of young players and whilst I am eager for Danny Handling and Alex Harris in particular to get a chance and progress, when we get to 10 games to go, Hibs hopefully being in the top 4 and pushing for 2nd/3rd, you need a player who, if we get a wee injury or two to the players mentioned, can step in without even thinking about it, play the pressure games, and provide the same level of workrate and commitment.

He still is an international player remember - and still scores goals at that level too. Absolute no brainer for me - get him in for the last 4 months and get a Euro place secured and a few really good wins under our belts against the teams we have struggled against the last wee while (top 6 teams).

Agree 100%, would love to see KM in the green & white again! If whatever reason we are unable to secure the services of LG past January somebody of Kennys quality in front go goal would be a must.

You need to think in bigger picture terms mate. A seasoned pro, proven goalscorer and a guy who lives his life the right way would be a major asset both on and off the park

Ideal scenario for me would be:

Griffiths extended until summer, then sign up on a free
Claros extended until summer, then negotiate for a permanent
McGivern extended until summer, then sign up on a free

Sign the two Irish boys in January, with transfer fees
Kenny Miller 2 month loan in January

Then just one more CB brought in Jan

and we're set for a bright season, with Petrie not having to splash too much cash in terms of fees.

i think i read somewhere that paddy doesnt want the two young irish lads
