http://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/news/20130830/zoubir-loan-deal-agreed_2262950_3442411

Good news, hopefully he can make an impact. by the sounds of things he won't be available tomorrow.

[hfc rd]

Welcome to Hibernian FC Abdellah Zoubir.

Now lets get that lad John Carson from Ipswich Town signed up.

[ColintonHibs]

I hear paddy wants him to play defensive midfield

[Vault Boy]

Exciting news, delighted to get some creativity (hopefully) into the squad. Really hoping we can add Carson too, I was just speaking to an Ipswich fan and he said he is a real talent, and is frustrated that he didn't get enough of a chance. He was particularly annoyed when he found out that he could be let go for nothing.

[green.and.white]

Great to bring in some extra right back cover

[SloopJB]

I hear paddy wants him to play defensive midfield
That was quick.
Where did you hear this?

[cloudy]

Carson Cole and Watt is that too much to ask for?

[nribs]

Carson Cole and Watt is that too much to ask for?
Swap Cole for Hatley and I'd be happy with that

[hibees 7062]

Swap Cole for Hatley and I'd be happy with that


:top marks

[green.and.white]

Swap Cole for Hatley and I'd be happy with that

That would be tremendous! Any rumour of this or just hope? :)

[Aldo]

I'd be very surprised if we managed to get Hateley.

Another CF and a winger now we have a creative player in and I'll be happier.

[Hermit Crab]

In for Paul Heffernan.

Are you at the lash?

[ColintonHibs]

That was quick.
Where did you hear this?

I was joking lol

[Piersquared]

Heffernan signing.

[Heisenberg]

Heffernan is a good goalscorer and a good player, would knock back the development of Caldwell though. Would be surprised if it happened.

[Piersquared]

Heffernan is a good goalscorer and a good player, would knock back the development of Caldwell though. Would be surprised if it happened.

From a Killie point of view I'd be shocked if he's still with us at the end of the window and the team he's signed for/signing for is Hibs.

[Stevie Reid]

27 goals in 60 starts for Killie, pretty sure his record at Rugby Park is ridiculously good.

Non OF strikers in the SPL don't really get much better ratios than that.

[PeterboroHibee]

Heffernan is a good goalscorer and a good player, would knock back the development of Caldwell though. Would be surprised if it happened.

If we can get another experienced striker in Id be more than happy for Caldwell to go out on loan. Hes only 19, playing every week at a lower level is going to give him as much of chance of breaking into our side long term as coming off the bench every week.

[Blaster]

Totally agree. A loan deal till January would do him the world of good. Assuming we do sign another striker!

[hibees 7062]

Non OF strikers in the SPL don't really get much better ratios than that.

Always does well against us , and scored a hatrick against the tramps :agree:

[ColintonHibs]

Heffernan signing.

would be happy with that. Starting to look like a top 6 team now

[Bayern Bru]

Good news, hopefully he can make an impact. by the sounds of things he won't be available tomorrow.

Looking like he might be added to the squad, suggesting Hibs are hopeful of getting international clearance soon...

[Purehibee_MYB]

would be happy with that. Starting to look like a top 6 team now

To be honest the squad we have if we add Heffernan should be 2nd really when looking on the face of it.

[hfc rd]

Where has this Heffernan rumour came from? I'd be happy if we got him and Carson signed and we have a good looking squad that should be up there competing for 2nd place.

Sounds pretty promising. Will that probably conclude our transfer business for this summer? I was kind of hoping we would get another winger in.

I was hoping for the same but we'd have to get rid of a couple of players first, no idea who though..

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

[Aldo]

Heffernan is a great signing.

Agreed. We now need to produce the service for the likes of Collins and Heffernan.

Hopefully the other new dude can unlock defenses.

I really do hope we get a result tomorrow and the new signings will inspire others.

(Also keep the trolls away when the yams get pumped up Inverness way)

Hopefully the french guy we signed gets international clearance (cant mind his name:greengrin) Heffernan will he be ok to play? Carson next and that will be excellent imo.

:greengrin

Tell him to start playing left footed and he might be in with a shout

[hfc rd]

Fair point. But it will just be a lot better if we could get him signed and registered up before tomorrows game.

[bigwheel]

With these signings of late - well done the club for getting deals done ! Anyone think there might be deadline day departures to balance the wages a bit ? And if so, any views on who ?

[JimBHibees]

Gardyne isnt a striker is he?

Agree more off the front or an attacking midfielder.

[MyJo]

The only ones we can afford to let go are some of the younger guys out on loan.

With our injury list as it is we're a twisted knee and red card away from a crisis.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Hibs twitter has just mentioned that a interview with Fenlon will be up soon, talking about the transfer window. Can see him saying that's us done.

[monktonharp]

[MyJo]

After us signing a winger and a striker the last crisis is that people seem to be warming to Stevenson being a regular at right back :rolleyes: :greengrin

[ColintonHibs]

To be honest the squad we have if we add Heffernan should be 2nd really when looking on the face of it.

I know 2nd should be the goal anyway with rangers and hearts not competing for it. We are far bigger than all the other clubs

[hfc rd]

Is it up yet? I hope we sign that lad Josh Carson and that will be our business completed.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Is it up yet? I hope we sign that lad Josh Carson and that will be our business completed.

Nope but maybe that is why...

[PeterboroHibee]

Id be surprised if we signed someone else, when everyone is fit we have a reasonably sized squad. If Fenlon feels he can juggle all these guys then fair enough, maybe we will see another signing, but having too many guys not playing every week can be as difficult to manage as a squad that is too small. Perhaps we will see some of the younger guys going out on loan.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Is it up yet? I hope we sign that lad Josh Carson and that will be our business completed.

It is now. The way they chat is as if we're done. "Are you satisfied with the business we've done? Yes"
But, he wasn't asked outright if we're finished.

[Col2]

I think we will get Carson. It looked fairly certain as of yesterday and sounds like genius more right sided and pacy than the new French boy who is left sided.

[AlbertK86]

Is it greedy to moan about us needing a right back?


I'm convinced that if we get Clancy fully fit he will be a good player for us again.

Thought he was excellent when he first signed. After the first injury he has never got full fitness back. Hopefully the operation has worked and we see him back to his best.

[YehButNoBut]

Think your right if he can get a good run of games without injury would make a real difference to the back 4, we now look to have the makings of a very good sign if we can just get them all to gel.

We should be aiming for 2nd place with this lot. :thumbsup:

Clancy hoping to be back after the international break ;)

[conway1875]

I think a few good results and the team get confidence back we could have a good season. We are now physically a bigger team then I can remember so when we maybe are not playing well we could bully a few teams.

The combination of Collins and heffernan could be great. Collins will be great at holding it up and what I have seen of heffernan, looks like a fox in the box type

[SMAXXA]

Slightly off topic but why doesn't the Htv guy ask more direct questions, ie that we all on here and other boards want to hear?

Someone on the Hibsrumours site saying it's a done deal but too late to play against County.


Won't believe it till I see a picture of him wearing a Hibs top and holding a Hibs scarf aloft in front of the East Stand. Along with an interview mentioning East Mains

Because the whole thing is a PR piece that has been scripted in advance?

[snooky]

Us punters seem to be happy with the new signings, and rightly so.
The proof of the pudding though will be how we perform on the park as a team.
PF's tactical use of these players will play a big part in the success or failure of the season as a whole.

I'm cautiously optimistic. :angelic:

I think that sol transfer rumours on Facebook is actually quite good. They announced Heffernan about an hour before we heard anything and have been quite on the mark with rumours about us.

That's just down to Fenlon IMO.

A good manager would have this squad playing some good stuff.

Why? It's not new players we need. It's a new manager.

As things stand, it's incidental whom we sign or don't sign as the results will remain exactly the same.

I didn't think it was possible to feel any more deflated after watching that. Then I read this.

As other posters have pointed out though, Pat has basically signed a whole team this summer so not sure 1 extra player would make much of a difference.

I don't it matters who he signs to be honest, he's signed loads but nothing changes, does it? That was the pits today, he really has to go.

[ancient hibee]

Perhaps Carson wouldn't give a straight answer as we moved toward the window closing(sorry slamming shut)so he was told to take a hike.

I struggled to find any live update of transfers, nothing on the BBC site, I ended up on the DR update, which was poor.
Trust the powers that be in Scotland to ruin what has previously been an entertaining evening.
