CFR Cluj want the tattoo'd freak Stevenson, just been said on Sportsound.

Fc cluj,has that got something to do with toilets?

Don't think so I think it's the team he plays for now have something to do with toilets. Think they're going down the pan. GGTTH

[jdships]

Is that the club managed by ex Yams boss Paulo Sergio? ISTR they got to the Champions' League group stage last season.

No the manager is MUSTAPHA SH.TE

I find multi tasking difficult but hope to be able to jump up and down and yell at the same time at Tynie on 29th March (and celebrate their relegation and get pi**ed) I look forward to that day of multi tasking!!

Article in one of papers saying Terry is saying he is struggling to find right players for Hibs . His interview with hibs Ty about transfers was also down beat for him.Question Is this really the case ,or is he just preparing us for the reality that there isn't the money to do a lot of business on Transfers this window unless the four players who have been told to find new clubs do so sooner than later as have a feeling some of them will take it to the wire before that happens

TB Knows that the winter window is the lame duck window, I dont think budget has much to do with it. I'd rather TB work with with what we have rather than make a signing for the sake of it. He may even be able to build up a small war chest for the summer with any savings he has made by punting a few this window.

If we don't do a lot of transfer business this window but indentify and secure the correct players in the correct positions for next season I'll be completely happy instead of signing players for the sake of it this month.

There will definitley be money there. Lets be thankful he won't ***** it like previous managers.

Exactly. To be honest I had written this season off about 3 months ago. If we can get top 6 and a cup run ill be happy. The fact that Butcher has raised the expectations big time is good enough for me. We all know we need new players, Butcher knows it and am sure the players know it but we also know January is a hard time to sign players. Lets keep the base of our squad and off load Taiwo, Vine, KT in the summer and replace them with 3 good, quality attacking players and have a good bash for second next season.

If Aberdeen are the second best team in Scotland just now then we are not far behind them. We are 3 good players from a defo top 4 SPL team next season IMO.

[Paloschi]

I think if we bring in the right players we can kick on and go for 4th at least. But I agree that it has to be the right players and not to spend for the sake of it.

I think we urgently need a striker and some cover for wings. A centre half for cover if I'm pushing it too.

I'd say winning 5 out of 7 games and losing 1 in 8 constitutes that, aye. We'd draw with Celtic in the next game too.

Am talking about under Fenlon in general. Things were depressing. Football was torture and we were about to start our yearly decline. Now things are looking more positive and it feels good to be a Hibs fan again. We have a manager I have faith in giving time.

[truehibernian]

Been arguably our best player this season, along with Hanlon - Lewis just now would be a first pick, he's playing with a confidence that deserted him for years. Midfield is his best position (Lewis), always has been.

I'm aso beginning to really change my tune with Hanlon - he's developed more in a few games under Terry Butcher than under three previous managers - again, I think it's confidence. He seems to be shouting more and directing more, which could also be the Nelson influence next to him.

Maybe he's just taken a bit longer to mature than we hoped and I don't think he was ever as bad as some people made out. Butcher was one of the best central defenders I have seen and a superb leader. If he can't learn from TB then there's something badly wrong. Just hope he keeps this level of performance up.

I've not seen a massive improvement in Hanlon. He's always been a top class player. Its only now he's not constantly having to cover for half-fit or simply not very good other Centre Halves. He's the best CH in the league.

Apparently Stevenson does not want to relocate to a "team sitting second bottom of the Liga 1 (in Romania)."

At least they are not bottom like hertz ya daft fud. Maybe they will hire Billy Brown to lure him over.

Bombscare Really. You could put McPake into that category then last season.

If it's not Stevenson it's Hanlon.

Hanlon has been our most consistent/best defender for a number of years.

I take it you didn't see him against the Sheep or against Smellic earlier in the season. The guys been outstanding for us. Maybe not the best in the league but he's up there IMHO.

Hanlon showed what he's all about on Friday nite.

Maybe the problem wasn't Hanlon and that he was being dragged all over the place to assist his partner .....

You're right it is one or the other and deservedly so. You've obviously enjoyed watching Hibs the last few seasons then.

I was hopeful Hanlon would fulfil his potential and am glad he's started to put in more consistent performances. But to say he's played well for years is completely short-sighted.

[stevenhibs]

Monberg-Karlson is a decent player. I'm not sure why Sunderland didn't give him more time on the park when Fletch was injured. Especially since Altidore was/is honking.

He's fairly quick too. Be surprised but exited to see him if this is the case.

[stevenhibs]

What makes it more surprising is that apparently Fletcher will be a spurs player by the end of the window or when Sunderland sign this Argentinian lad they're after.

You can have a go at Fenlon all you want, his play style, his failure to use subsitutes, inability to get the players up for big games, yes, of course, he had his flaws and plenty of them, and yes, it was time to go, but in my opinion, he was a good manager for Hibs.

Obviously, there were major blips, two in particular, but all in all, he did what he was brought in to do. We improved after the end of the 2011/12 season and improved our league position hugely, reached two cup finals and yet again improved at the end of last season and we have a decent framework at the moment, with (hopefully) the right man to bring them on further.

Pat Fenlon did what he was brought into do at Hibs, he gave his all and it was time to leave, sick of seeing him constantly slated

FWIW, this is in general, not just upon reading this thread.

You ever thought that Hanlon was doing the job of 2 CH's instead of concentrating on his own game etc. I personally believe PH is one of the. Best CH's ,on his game in the SPFL.

Van Dyke probably is the best but I do think Reynolds and Hanlon are on a par. Reynolds simple mistake on Fri should of lead to a penalty.

If you want to start the negativity about a player (probably our best player in a number of weeks) then dad on.
There's always someone wanting to criticise players even when they are doing well.

I think we agree that PH has been poor for seasons and is playing well now. If you think that was down to the deadwood around him I'm happy to go with that.

I don't think it's asking too much to want a better option on the wing than Lewis Stevenson.

Yeah, looks like we will be competing with team for a place in the top 6 and don't want them strengthening. When I first heard the link I thought it meant Stevie May would be off and DG would be his replacement with Saints using their cash for this. Sounds like the manager wants to play them both but I wouldn't have thought they would be able to afford both. might still be the case that May is off and Goodwillie goes there.

Quite surprised we have't really been linked but he didn't set the heather alight at United and am hoping the lack of speculation surrounding Hibs and strikers maybe means Terry is concentrating on getting a particular target.

Hope your right Matty but he might just make the difference for them - definitely has the ability.

[Unseen work]

He scored 6, and wasn't getting a look in for the last couple of months. Isn't really suited to united style but think he would be a good match for us. Him and Collins would link well imo

[renato]

Badmember is a poacher and is at his best in a 4-4-2. Utd play 4-2-3-1 and his game isn't / wasn't suited to the lone man. Plus Ciftci is their number 1 striker and ideally suited to that role. Subsequently Goody never got a look in.

He's a good player and would be perfectly suited to Terry's tactical approach and style of play. He'd score quite a few for us, if we were interested.

And TB is indicating it will stay that way till possibly last few days when Dominoes game starts and he wants to be in there So as long as he doesn't land a double blank , looks like that's when we may see some movement . If it's right he has only spend £8'000 in the transfer market for players , ever it makes his record at Inverness all the more remarkable.

I really don't mind who Butcher replaces. There are a good few players in the side that I like, but I don't like them enough to put up with the sort of football we get from them from time to time.

Butcher will have his own thoughts on how he wants us to play and if that means replacing the whole squad then fair enough, they can't say that they haven't had a chance.

(Fwiw, I don't think the whole squad needs replaced! )

Looking at that, I think the only way they could sign him would be if they and King agreed to terminate his contract and claimed the transfer fee was a development fee as he's under 21 (or whatever it is)- if he goes while under contract for an official transfer fee, then they can't get a replacement in (I'm not sure whether that would work though). Or they're getting gonzo in as an emergency keeper on a temporary basis.

If the Jumbos can only do like for like and Skacel is their replacement for King I can only assume that King is a big nosed lump of crap who does his best work behing a bar

[YehButNoBut]

It looks like we could be signing a couple of players this week but could be defenders as Hanlon & McGivern will be out for a few weeks.

http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/spfl/hibs-butcher-aims-to-secure-new-players-this-week-1-3275718

HIBERNIAN manager Terry Butcher insists he will accelerate his plans to recruit new players after conceding that injured defensive pair Paul Hanlon and Ryan McGivern are facing weeks on the sidelines.

Centre-half Hanlon has been ruled out for three weeks with a thigh strain and left-back McGivern is not expected back any time soon after hobbling off eight minutes into Saturday’s 3-2 defeat by St Mirren with a hamstring problem.

That has left Butcher, who is also without defender James McPake as he recovers from a back operation, stripped of options at the back ahead of Sunday’s televised visit of Celtic. And after his side’s defensive frailties were exposed when they conceded three unanswered first-half goals to the Buddies at the weekend, the former Inverness manager is desperate to bolster his squad.

Butcher, who will also be without the suspended Scott Robertson for the visit of the league leaders, said: “We’ll be short this week because of one or two injuries, there is no doubt about that and maybe we’re going to have to work even harder to get one or two in. We’ve made progression on that front but we’ll certainly try and conclude that this week if we can.

I take it Callum Booth has no future at the club otherwise we would cancel his loan deal, left back problem solved.

Perhaps we don't have the option to recall him during the loan deal?

[Craig_in_Prague]

We have no game next week, which helps. TB said Hanlon should be OK for the Cup game the week after.

So we might not be too bad... Celtic is an expected loss anyway.

But it would be nice to get 1 or 2 players in, which I still feel need to be creative or wide/quick players.
But decent full backs would never be a bad thing, thats for sure.

Aldo ,cheats will always try and cheat again ,especially when they get sympathy and build up this image of how burnt out the paper thin squad is , but yet they score three away from home and look like they want to incite a riot or hurt people. Look at Locke when interviewed on TV ,he has adopted this veneer of hard man as he seems to chew imaginary gum to grind out his words. .Skatchel is just a hanger on now unless they are going to get him to coach for nothing if and when someone who is in charge decides if brown stays or goes. He will be hoping that they come out of admin in February and then sign as free agent I suspect is game plan ,whether that's credible or not is down to what is or is not happening in Lithuania and I don't really think any of us really know the truth and neither does anyone at hearts by the sound of it .

Yup.

Got a feeling we might get a couple of raw teenagers from a premiership club but that'll not be enough to keep up with the likes of Aberdeen imo.

One of the attractions of getting butcher and co in was there contacts down south and ability to spot a player so I'm pretty dissapointed with our lack of activity in the transfer window so far.

Sorry if already posted, but Adam Rooney's having a medical at Pittodrie today according to the Sun.

So are they spending money they don't have now? Aberdeen don't even need a striker!

[Heisenberg]

Aberdeen were quite obviously going to get him if interested. They give the biggest wage outside of Celtc. They are also up competing for second which would help.

Collins is a similar type to Rooney mate and he seems to be finding his feet in the SPFL and enjoying working with TB - we need a very different kind of frontman in my opinion and also a fast, wide player to add to Harris.

I wouldn't be overly concerned at losing out on Rooney. The Dons are certainly splashing the cash this season though which I think comes down to backing McInnes early in his managerial reign. Yes they are a good side, however they have gained many points with late goals recently (which in itself is a good sign). It's very very fine margins in this league at present, all the way down to 11th. Looking at Aberdeen's last few games they have been literally a couple of minutes away from drab looking draws v ourselves, Killie, Dundee Utd, and they were beaten at the weekend at home. Hearts have even beaten them twice :rolleyes:

My guess is that TB and MM will settle for a bottom six this season while blooding a few youngsters and then start rebuilding in the summer. Perhaps a defender and player with pace on loan this window.

I really hope not, conceding 6th place to St.Johnstone is just the type of loser mentality I would expect Butcher to be eradicating from our club. I am hoping the signings will come!

[QMU-1875]

No chance are we accepting bottom 6, top 6 should be the minimum!

[Speedway]

The Sun also says that seven SPFL clubs are trying to sign Rooney and we have one poster on the PM board who reckons Rooney was at EM yesterday.

Perhaps the player is being allowed free reign as Scott Brown was, to choose which club he joins.

If it was a choice of the raw youngster St Mirren have loaned from Newcastle, Campbell, or Adam Rooney, i'd certainly take Campbell from what I saw down to the fact he had pace and quick feet, something we lack.

There will be some good youngsters available for loan from EPL clubs it's just whether or not we could find the right ones..

Hope we see a signing or two in the next week and a half, will be a bit disappointing if we don't.

Looking at the league table you would think that staff at ER believe a top six finish is possible. However, whether it is likely when we are playing Harris, Stanton and Cummings, is debatable. I doubt whether any of those players are match winners at this point in their careers but as they are the best youngsters we have then IMO we should play them to try and bring them on hoping they are part of a successful future. It's not a gamble, it's more of a necessity because TB doesn't want to play the more senior midfielders we have/had because they are not in his plans for next season. Under those circumstances those senior players wouldn't be anymore of a help than the young ones are anyway. In fact if I am being logical at all then we would get more from those youngsters than we would from the seniors who TB doesn't want for next season. All that means of course that it's going to be difficult for us to pass St J and/or Dundee Utd. I'd like to but I'm prepared for a tough run in due to injuries and no new signings, yet. However, if we do land a couple the right kind this month then we might become confident of catching the two above us. As has been said though what is more important is that we are ready at the start of next season to get off to a flyer. TB has had his ICT teams complete and ready for the start of seasons for the past couple of years while Hibs have been bringing in players after the season starts. I'd like to see that change to the TB way. It could be that Hibs have been trying to bring in more quality players than ICT and that's why we have had to wait but the league positions don't reflect that so maybe it's just a matter of Hibs doing things better when it comes to bringing players in. What a rant that was.

[green.and.white]

It's fine if we don't get Rooney, we need pace. A player like Adam Campbell who St Mirren go on loan from Newcastle is the sort of player we need IMO

[Billychaotic182]

Think the summer will be where we see a huge amount of new players

[Juice-Terry]

I hope you're right.

[silverhibee]

Did i not read somewhere that Butcher was looking to bring in a couple of experienced players to help the young lads that are in the team, if so then that would rule out him bringing in any more youngsters to the 1st team.

[Hibbibri]

Just heard that there are 3 unknown players with their agents at East Mains today :agree:
