Any new signing rumours? (merged)

[Pedantic_Hibee]

Cannae mind which club it was, but in their pre-game advertisement for a game against The Rangers they referred to it being the first ever meeting between the two and how The Rangers were bidding to win their first ever trophy.....and their fans and media went tonto over it. Yet it was true.

That turd-burglar of a journalist Spiers constantly refused to respond to me either when I asked him why he didn't refer to them as The Rangers. He probably blocked me in the end.

A brand new team, but a brand new team who rule the roost with the media and the SFA much like the deceased team who had a similar name.

[Thecat23]

Cheers mate. Would like to see him in a hibs jersey again and banging in a few goals.. Probably outwith our wages capabilities?

Mate Kenny would jump at the chance to play for Hibs and even told Fenlon that after a derby last season. Wages are defo not an issue as he's made enough (his words) he wanted to repay Hibs for giving him his chance in football. He never heard back.

That's not a swipe at Pat he maybe had other plans that didnt fit in with Kenny, but I think Kenny would do a job.

I think there are 2 games while im there but i defo can't make one of them, as im at a wedding the same day.

PM me nearer the time mate. I'll get you a couple of tickets. Already got a guy on here 2 tickets the other week for him and his dad. Saves you paying :)

Sounds promising TC. I for one would like to see him in the jersey. Mind when he scored the 3rd in the Millenium Derby... Me the good lady and my bro ended up on the pitch. It was crazy.

Fingers crossed then. Someone for uncle Rodders to think about maybe later in the season.

Haha, I had just left when he scored as we were getting a lift home and my lift couldn't get us at the end can't mind why. We heard the roar and thought Hearts pulled one back. Kenny gave me it tight for leaving :D

Spoke to a Falkirk Fc ned recently (as in non exec director, before you start)

He reckoned Taylor was too daft to really develop - said he had a great first half but he never played well late on in games, had no idea about conserving energy or pacing himself

Said keep an eye on Fulton - rated Fulton much higher

I really hope that we are keeping an eye on the likes of the young Falkirk players

Aye, fair enough lol

It would be a win/win... He does the business on the pitch and his old man increases the matchday catering profits...

On a serious note, whilst his old man was a yam, he did seem a decent guy and took all the stick (booked for being ugly, you fat bassa etc) pretty well...

That was why he got booked - blew a kiss to the old East when they were being less than flattering about him. Consensus after the game was that the linesman was out of order for reporting him over a funny response.

Aye I remember that, was sat about 10 yards away when he got booked, did make me laugh out loud that one.

[Heisenberg]

Are we in for him?

Liam McLeod suggested so and Craigan said on the commentary that a couple of spl teams have been in contact about him.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Didnt think Boyce looked good to be honest, looks unfit and a bit fat. Dont think he would improve us at all, but this is just my opinion.

[GreenOnions]

Re Liam Boyce - I didn't see that much of the game. The positives from what I saw are that he clearly has ability with some nice touches and reasonable holding up work. His record also indicates that he knows where the goal is.

The "undecided" bit for me is probably a little unfair as he was playing in a team that was significantly inferior to Celtic - but it's more to do with attitude and approach. His demeanour gave off a little bit of the "I'm too good to be playing with these guys in my current team" vibe IMHO and that's always a little concerning when you want team players. I also agree with an earlier post that he seemed a little overweight too. That may be a wholly inaccurate description of the lad though - I'd have to see more and perhaps listen to what Cliftonville fans say about him.

I have absolutely no information - just speculating like most on here

It doesn't prove anything either way but something about the fact that we've given the number 9 jersey to another player tells me Hibs don't expect to sign Leigh this summer.

[Callum_62]

Has squad number 6207 been allocated?

if not....watch this space. :wink:

[scuttle]

He was 28...but Oconnor already had the no9 shirt
If we were going to sign him then i think we would have kept his shirt for him
Hes not coming back ,not for this window anyway or we would not have bid for Taylor

And now Vine is number 9. We can't leave a number just for a player who hasn't signed yet.. What happens if the deal falls through?

EDIT: just seen the bit about Taylor, if course we still bid for Taylor, we can't just focus on one player in case the deal doesn't happen.

There is no doubt he was our no1 target but there was or is no deal so we turned to Taylor. We still have some cash to spend buy IMO it wont be on Leigh no matter how much we all want it

I'm pretty sure squad numbers haven't been finalised yet for the new SPFL season, do they not get registered nearer end of july??

[SaulGoodman]

I'm pretty sure squad numbers haven't been finalised yet for the new SPFL season, do they not get registered nearer end of july??

No idea mate, personally I don't think squad numbers mean anything. Griffiths could be number 48 for all I'd care :greengrin

[GreenPJ]

Have to admit being very confused by the Griffiths and Taylor bids.

RP has said we need 11,000 season tickets sold and I don't believe we are anywhere near that, we have some debt although pretty manageable but we are another year closer to when a significant payment needs to be paid to the bank for mortgage iirc (?). Scottish football is in a shambles with clubs going into administration and others teetering on the brink which does not help sponsorship or new investment into Scottish football and all of a sudden RP decides on a speculate to accumulate approach even although he has steered away from that previously when conditions were more favourable to do so.

I appreciate some people will argue that now is the time to gamble and invest but don't see what the big prize is if we do.

I would still like Leigh back though :greengrin

[southsider]

Never been a better time to invest. Sevco out the league....Hertz going out the league or at least 15 points down. Every other time appart from smellik is gash. We could be contenders........

[TheFamous1875]

No idea mate, personally I don't think squad numbers mean anything. Griffiths could be number 48 for all I'd care :greengrin

I really do think squad numbers can pose a measure of validity in regards to a players self esteem and the historical or other merit that can come with having a prime squad number bestowed upon them.

For example if Alex Harris is indeed our new #7, I think it's way too premature for him. There's no doubt he's a very talented youngster with a lot of potential, but that's all it is so far; potential. I think he should be given a lower number than 33 this season, he's earned that, but I think only once we've seen how he progresses after a full season in the first squad, can he be given the duty, respect and honour of having a starting 11 number for Hibernian.

If you look at Callum Booth, I'm sure he was our first choice left-back with #3, and from there on in, he lost that hunger and his devlopment was stunted. Not to suggest it was solely down to this, of course not. But it's the little things that count and something as absurd as "what number you are" can contribute to great pride or great shame on a personal level.

Look at David Wotherspoon, became our #7 and then got bumped back to #14! That must have been a blow to him as it tells D, and the fans that he's is not as valued as he was told he was. It's another dent in confidence to a young player like him who again showed so much promise, and for various reasons it failed to materialise. I just hope the same doesnae happen to Boozy as he could really be something some time soon.

[GreenPJ]

Never been a better time to invest. Sevco out the league....Hertz going out the league or at least 15 points down. Every other time appart from smellik is gash. We could be contenders........

For second place maybe but what prize is that in a league where the reward will not be growing in value as there is less income in the Scottish game. For Europe, we will find out tonight and next week if Europe is a feasible and worthwhile venture to aspire to.

[TheFamous1875]

N for the record I think Boozy should be number 11 as he suits cutting in on the left! :P

From last year's accounts and assuming terms haven't changed, there are 3 outstanding mortgages:

1. £2.56M, being repaid at £20K per month with a final payment of £1.6M in 2018
2. £1.24M, being repaid at £33K per quarter, ending in 2023
3. £2.5M, interest only, repayable in 2020

When will he realise playing 3 defensive midfielders dosent work?

It's a double problem - on top of lacking the required variety in MF I feel that having 3 DMs actually does less well defensively than 2 as there's a tendency for them to assume that one of the others is covering something.

2 DMs can communicate and organise better.

I dont think we can. the deadline for this round has passed, and while all clubs were able to register 1 player after the deadline, it had to be by midnight on the eve of the first leg of the tie.



18.13 List A has to be submitted by the following fixed deadlines:

a) 24 June 2013 (24.00 CET) for all matches in the first qualifying round;
b) 12 July 2013 (24.00 CET) for all matches in the second qualifying round;
c) 26 July 2013 (24.00 CET) for all matches in the third qualifying round;
d) 12 August 2013 (24.00 CET) for all matches in the play-off round;
e) 2 September 2013 (24.00 CET) for all further matches from the first match
in the group stage up to and including the final.

18.14 For the three qualifying rounds and the play-offs, a club may register a
maximum of one new eligible player on List A after the above-mentioned
deadlines, provided the quota of locally trained players is respected. Such
registration must be completed by 24.00 CET on the day before the relevant
first-leg match and the club's association must confirm in writing that the new

Last night's game showed what most of us knew....we in dire need of new forward players. From the players left from last season the top scorer was McPake with the grand total of em 2.I know any new signings can't play second leg but fot the forthcomming season new players are a must

[Speedway]

We need new forwards, some new midfielders, 8-10 quality defenders with Euro experience and a couple of World Cup keepers.

Why on earth can't Fenlon see this, what's he fannying about at?

Have to settle with Griffiths then :wink:

[sesoim]

We need still need creativity in the middle. When will he realise playing 3 defensive midfielders dosent work? A centre half and more strikers also needed badly.


He wont. And that's why he could be out of a job by October. The only way Hibs will have a good season is if all the the other teams get a lot worse. Even Rangers disappearing from the SPL and Hearts losing loads of players only helped us finish a couple of places higher (7th) than where we were when Fenlon took over Hibs (9th).

It's time fans took their blinkers off.

[sesoim]

Didnt see it today but were we missing a Claros-esk player?



We were hardly impressive when Claros WAS playing for us. The midfield should have been creating loads of chances for Griffiths and chipping in themselves. Instead, Griffiths was having to make most of his goals himself.

I disagree. Nobody was complaining when we were up at the top of the league and playing some cracking stuff. We were unlucky with Mcpakes injury, Cairney and Sparky losing form etc and barring some horrendous refereeing decision would have been top 6 for the first time in a while. Pat is doing a good job. Its still pre season after all

It would be an achievement. We dont have the wallet to significantly influence our aquisition of players, and Pat is probably still learning how to operate in the market we are in. Case in point: McManus chooses Motherwell. I would be stunned if Motherwell offered more money than us, but Id also be stunned if we offered that much more than them. End of the day for some reason Motherwell was more appealing than Hibs.

We are soooo work in progress its painful at times, but I think we are slowly heading in the right direction. Unless we can identify a manager that will guarentee a raft of affordable, proven talent and the skills to manage them we've got to keep supporting the manager players etc.

Do you honestly believe us finishing 6th in a league without rangers and the yams starting on -15 is an achievement. Seriously can't get my head around that at all. IMO anything short of 6th is a joke and a disgrace. We might not be world betters and flush with the cash but this is Scottish football we're talking about. We ARE bigger than Motherwell, St Johnstone and the likes and the sooner people get to grips with this the better. St Johnstone have lost their manager and a barrel load of players, two of their better players even joined us, FFS :confused:. No danger should they be out performing us, but they will and hey-ho, we'll all just get on with it.

I agree that 6th wouldnt be much of an achievement, and Im hoping we can do better, but to be honest the team is still incomplete and unbalanced. Im not optimistic of any further signings of note, and so with this present team, from where we were last season, 6th is a - small - step forward. Should Griffiths arrive in January, or one of our young strikers has a big season, then maybe a higher league placing starts to look feasible.
The fact seems to be, that even though we are bigger than the clubs you mention, we are also a lot more expensive to run (excluding wages). I think this stops us from making our supporter base work in our favour as much as it should.

How long has Fenlon been in the job now and yet this is still the case.

[Emerald]

How long has Fenlon been in the job now and yet this is still the case.

Farting against thunder, pishing against the wind spring to mind.

Hey, we are just a wee club at Hibs and we're training a rookie manager and maybe after about three years he will learn how to manage, resource players, play then in a balanced team, entertain for £400 a year and maybe then Hibs will rise above the utter crap he has us playing just now. But wait, he inherited the worst team ever, changed it around about three times but poor Paddy is doing everything right. Lets plan for the future, base your team on loan signing s and still finish 7th, let Sproule go and bring in Matt Done, but this is future planning we're told. Qualify for Europe and then have the chance to play an EPL team but have no recognised strikers in your team, but we're building a team and last year was a transition. We've now got rid of half last years team and look worse than ever. How can anyone think he's doing a good job?

And who's fault is that? See here's the thing, I can see the improvement under Fenlon, and to be fair I'd stick with him for the up coming season BUT there is something far wrong when we can't compete with the likes of Motherwell and St Johnstone. IF Griffiths signs in January we're looking at a different story, but in the mean time I fear the worst and don't see anything to shout about. I've said it time and time again but St Johnstone have lost their manager and ALL their better players, Motherwell are looking at a totally new squad and don't get me started on Ross County or ICT. We should be better than ALL of them and aiming far beyond all off their reach but it appears so many of our fans would settle for 6th in the league. Total joke IMO and the main reason why we will never get anywhere.

I keep repeating my-self and I'm sorry, BUT the day I accept we're the same as Ross County, Motherwell, St Mirren, ICT and Kilmarnock then I'm affraid it's the day I give up. Look at Malmo for example, how many fans did they have at the game the other night? They had a team whom destroyed us and if it weren't for Williams we'd be looking at 4 or 5 nil and yet there's folk on here aiming for 20k or there abouts at ER. IF they can build a team capable off topping their division why can't we?

Not for me this season! Second should be our aim and main priority, anything less is a fail in my book. We cannot continue to roll along as a substandard club with no real aim in sight, participation is simply not enough anymore.

[Eternal Hibbie]

Expect one or two non inspirational signings before the domestic activities begin, another up and down first half of the campaign with the customary happy clappers and their opposites on this site slugging it out for superiority rights as to whether we ought to expect better followed by a signing or two in January to attempt to keep the natives appeased.

Anything less than 2nd place is under performance as we have the 2nd highest budget in the league. Time for excuses is over.
I'm still hopeful that some quality signings are on the way because as things stand I think we are weaker than last season.
I'm confident that we intend to sign a striker but we also need to improve our defence. A quality centre half is a must for me. I'm also a little concerned that Fenlon doesn't think Mullen a better option for the right back slot than the left footed Stevenson.

I think he will bed Mullen in over time. He's only 19 and hasn't had much experience in the SPL let alone playing against a European team like Malmo. Plus i think i read somewhere he has an injury?

I think stevenson is just playing there just now while we have the Malmo tie.

I agree with this 100%. Certainly not calling for the managers head this early in the season and I fully expect there to be further signing at ER before the window closes but this season is massive for Fenlon and the club. The teams above us have lost a lot of players and are already operating on lower budgets than us. We've got a league with no Rangers and a thoroughly weakened Hearts team. This is the best chance in my lifetime supporting Hibs for us to stake a claim as the 2nd biggest club in the SPL based on success and league placing, not attendance, budget etc.

This is well and truly Pat's team and the board have backed him pretty well based on the number of players he has signed.

If our club can establish itself as a consistent force in the SPL and start appearing in Europe regularly, challenging (and winning) trophies then we can get more fans to ER and set the foundations at the club for continued success.

But this season we've got to have more than progress, we need to show serious ambition and the results to back it up.

IF they can build a team capable off topping their division why can't we?

I agree with the frustration of being behind a lot of clubs that seem much smaller than us. But I think that we are hampered by being significantly more expensive to operate, and so our wages are really not much bigger than these guys. McManus and others have voted with their feet, so Motherwell and perhaps a few other clubs seem to be doing something that we arent. Is it that Hibs are seen to be a high pressure club (ie big expectations from supporters?). Sproule and Wotherspoon look likely to do well at their clubs when seen as failures by many here. Is it the style they play, the freedom or lack of expectation that allows these guys to thrive?

I dont think Pat has got it all right, but really think we need to stick to our man for at least another season. A team without Griffiths will have to try to get goals from more people - and Pat is aware of that.

[Ozyhibby]

Jesus!!!

Don't let the truth get in the way of knocking the club you apparently support.

I have no aspirations to be a football manager.
To support the club you have to be critical of the club as well as defend it to the hilt in certain situations.
Always protecting the club from criticism is not good for a club. Look what happened to the old Rangers. Twenty years without a dissenting voice killed them.
Fair enough if Mullen was injured but I'm still concerned that Stevenson is our back up right back. That's another position that needs sorted this window.

[Heisenberg]

Stevenson is our third choice right back behind both Mullen and Clancy. Our top two were out injured so he had to play. We don't need another right back just now, centre half, striker and creative midfielder all need filled.

Hopefully we'll have Bradley Donaldson playing some part this season too.

[Dashing Bob S]

We lucked out with Leigh Griffiths, who might yet return next year for family reasons (though I fear the waters might be muddied by the impregnation of several Black Country girls if he gets first team football at Wolves) but I feel a club like Hibs has to largely grow its own prolific strikers, creative midfielders and pacy wingers, or gamble on lower division talents. There's a premium on these players and the ones with a track record that are available and in our range tend to come with baggage (injury or psychological issues) and constitute a risk. Petrie and Fenlon are both risk-aversive by nature; nothing particularly wrong with that, but the consequences of it we have to live with.

Yes, it's easier to find decent defensive midfielders, and while you can't build a team around them, with our shaky back four, I'm glad they're around.

[rcarter1]

We lucked out with Leigh Griffiths, who might yet return next year for family reasons (though I fear the waters might be muddied by the impregnation of several Black Country girls if he gets first team football at Wolves) but I feel a club like Hibs has to largely grow its own prolific strikers, creative midfielders and pacy wingers, or gamble on lower division talents.

Its a good point. The club is under pressure to reverse some financially damaging seasons of late. If McPake cant recover his form, Forster looks well placed to step in. Harris, Caldwell and Handling are all attacking players and are in position to make the step up. If Clancy can get fit (Did Motherwell sell us a dummy? :bitchy:), and McGivern etc settle in, we have a decent enough spine. Vine looks like he could do a job, and hopefully helps bring on the young lads. With a bit of luck and confidence we could make inroads into the Top 6.

This bit still concerns me though, as we will need to get the balance of attacking/defending right. If attack is the best form of defence then getting that balance right is Pats biggest challenge..

[blackpoolhibs]

We are not that far away from having a team that will contest a place in Europe again. A right sided midfielder, a centre forward and another centre half are very important though.

I think we will progress again this season, some folk are getting their knickers in a twist a tad early imo.

There is still nearly 6 weeks left before the transfer window closes, we will have a better idea about the team then. :aok:

That's the thing BH, the signings we have gone after aren't coming and we're getting further down the list. We need a striker now not last day of the window. I hate this pish "don't get knickers in a twist". I'm not but I'm also getting frustrated at how long it's taken to find a striker which right now the most important part if the team as it stands.

Folk also saying we should still aim for top six need to get a grip. A top 4 at the very least we should be expected to hit. Hibs are a big club in Scotland who have underachieved for Christ knows how long. Money doesn't need to be spent in the millions to get a squad that can finish top 3.

It's a good manager that can guide us, not saying hes not.. I'm fully behind Fenlon for this campaigne, but if he doesn't get a good striker in and we go like we did last season he should be punted. Yes he's a great guy, comes across well and ticks all those boxes. But if Hibs aren't doing it on the park sorry but he needs to go. This season is huge, again no Rangers and I'm sure 2nd this year gets CL, not 100% though on that. So get an attacking side on the go, cautious at times when needed no problem with that. But one up front at home and hoping to hit on the break will turn fans away.

Anyway lets hope we all see a Hibs side we enjoy watching and this season we can push as high as we can.

agree, we just werent prepared out of the 2 divisions most of the top scorers have been snapped up. I guess that was dwn to us teying to tie down Griffiths and lyle scott which meant that other targets went



Totally agree, we have kmown for a while we nd a forward

[Kaiser1962]

Anything less than 2nd place is under performance as we have the 2nd highest budget in the league. Time for excuses is over.

Do we? What is our budget for this season and how does it compare to Aberdeen, Killie or United's?

You dont have to be Einstein to know we need a striker, but we have tried our hardest to get the one we all want.

Now so far we have not been able to bring in Griffiths, but would you rather we got someone in not as good as him, or would you rather we waited and maybe got him on the last day of the window?

I don't know if that will happen, but i know we have been doing our best to bring him back.

As i said just under 6 weeks to the window slamming shut, we might bring in our No1 target, or we might not. What i do know is we will be bringing in more players before then, and i will judge the team after that, not now.

We have made a bit of progress last season, and the same again would do me fine, they way some folk are panicking, you'd think nobody at the club knows we still need a few players?

[Thecat23]

Yeah we have/are trying. But I'm hoping we have a better idea about Leigh now.

As for the rest of your post, I don't disagree, but one thing I do think is the "little bit of progress". Motherwell, Saints, Ross County improved massive not a little, through good management and not over cautious. Pat needs to also start fielding a more positive team and formation. Like I say fully behind him but was far from impressed with what I watched last season if I'm honest. Sorry if that doesn't go down well with folk just telling it how I see it.

[Glasgow Hibee]

I suspect we will not see many (any) more permanent signings now unless we somehow manage to get past Malmo this week, but it is towards the end of the signing window that loan players become available and Pat (or the board) has shown that they are very happy getting players in on loan, so I suspect we will pick up a decent center half and striker by that method.

Tiny bit off topic but anyone know how many more season tickets we've shifted after our great leaders call to arms ?

Unlikely to be any official announcement currently given our relative failure to secure any marquee signings.

Looking at the stadium plan about 8000 tickets. I dont undestand how the two red sections in the West and Famous Five operate, as you cant buy tickets there. If these two areas count as fully booked up seasons then youre looking at closer to 9500.

That is not true.

Aberdeen outspend us regularly (£5.0m as opposed to £4.1m 2011-2012) and United were within £300k (7%) of our outlay, with Killie spending only £200k (5%) less than our £4.1m.

These are from 2011-2012 which are the latest available although Hibs and Aberdeen usually have their accounts out pretty quickly for the season just ended. Hearts spent double what we did and Celtic over eight times.

[lugz]

So would you say Gomis is more of the attacking out of them both?

Yeah I'd say so, at the time when they were both at D.utd I'd have been delighted if we had signed either.

Just looked at their stats Bauben scored 2 more goals in 30 less games so maybe I'm wrong haha.

Thats the magic question. A few years back we hit about 14000 average attendances, whereas we are about 10-11,000 right now. An extra 3000 bums per match equates to about 50K/match, or about 1,000,000 pounds over 20 home games. Merchandising and other bits and bobs tends to mean its worth more like 1,500,000. Problem is going from 11K to 14K would require something quite remarkable.

Exactly. Hibs could push the boat out and spend 750,000 on some decent players. If they did well, and we finish say fourth, thats not likely to add 3000 onto our current gate. Last season we started amazing and yet the crowds barely budged. I suppose it takes a few seasons of sustained achievement/entertainment to build up that kind of support.

You are probably spot on, the three thousand that you quote may not happen overnight but hopefully a good percentage of that figure might jump on board over the first season if we were playing attractive football and winning more, its a gamble of course but then life's a gamble isn't it - anyway its academic, its not Rod's way is it - and I'm not having a pop at Rod before anyone takes offence.

All we need to do is sign loads and loads of really good players. It is not rocket science and I bet they will be so glad to sign for a club like ours that they won't want hardly any wages. In fact, when they see our world leading training complex they will probably give half the wages back.:wink:
