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

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

Judging by Saturday's performance he has a decent pair of hands as well.........:brickwall

Bolts got a deal down south Ryan abroad and Wilson has a get out clause which he has enforced can't blame him really




The FOH want Craig levein as the next manager, fact.

A fair few posting that we need experienced players brought in and I can understand why. We should bear in mind however that TB, through Marsella recommendations, brought some bloody good players to Inverness who wouldn't fall into that category. A couple of those are being named now as players we'd like to see at ER.

I guess what I'm trying to say, in a roundabout way, is if we sign a couple of players who don't have lots of experience we need to see what they can do before posting 'really disappointed' 'who's he' 'nae experience' type comments :wink:

Well we just need to be patient .We got the Management Team we wanted so just need to go with it Petrie will back what T B wants to do . I don't think he will complain too Mutch in this window as he seems to be hinting he is planning for real change in the summer .Was Rooney a target for us , I have no idea .Murphy was. But it's clear why we count get him and he isn't going to Aberdeen so it doesn't matter really what's posted here ias big tell needs time so no point getting on his back .at this point .

As a team they've proven they can spot and nurture / coach talent and I don't doubt they'll do the same here. Happy to trust their judgement, more likely in the summer than this window though.

Indeed just look at what they paid for Fellani and he's been *****

40M SSN said earlier, seems excessive?

I don't think so - signed for £23.5M a couple of years ago, and has been player of the year in the two full seasons he was there, as well as winning the Champions League and UEFA Cup, not to mention the World Cup and European Championship with Spain. Has scored 34 goals in 116 starts for Chelsea, and has 32 caps and 9 goals for a great Spain team - only 25 as well.

He is exactly the kind of player Utd need right now. BBC quoting £37M and I think that will be great business for Man Utd, especially in Jan. Mind you, they're only getting him as they're out of title contention and still to play all of Chelsea's title rivals again.

I'm sure he said that he didn't go to watch Hibs as he refused to give Petrie any cash in some kind of protest, so not really sure how he is able to make comment about "boo boys" at Easter Road? I would say the fans have been terrific towards Terry Butcher and the team since his arrival.

After the dross and disgracefull games we have had to endure before TB came here,you are bound to get the odd blib as its still the same team that was serving the dross,and i feel under TB there is certainly a feel good factor at Easter Road and feel Butcher needs time to bring in his own players and hopefully the boo boys will boo no more (wishfull thinking eh)

Think we need to differentiate between fans choosing to boo the team off after a particularly inept performance at half time and those that look for any excuse and boo during the games.and single ot players.Can you honestly say that any other team in the top flight could of put in that performance and not got booed off.How else can you record your frustration..Think we are being unrealistic .

Even TB came out and slated them afterwards, said he now sees that there are a few who are not good enough, or words to that effect. It's always the same here, one step forwards two back, just when you think we've turned a corner the players put in an abject performance to remind us all we're Hibs and that's how it goes.

I wonder if TB was hoping to get through the season without buying this window and doing it all in the summer, but since the St Mirren result, it's pushed the signings forward a few months.

[Andy74]

Tis a good video, thought his final ball in was poor but when you look at his positioning to take the ball, his burst of speed, power, close control and finishing, looking forward to seeing him in a hibs top! :)

[yerauldda]

Personally I think he's more of a provider than a goalscorer or a winger. I think James Collins does the job he would do. I don't think he's a bad player, just not what our team needs.

We seem to have been saying Aberdeen are struggling for cash for years but this is the third or fourth time they have invested heavily in their squad in the last tean years (it just happens to be the first time it appears to have worked). Calderwood, McGhee and Brown were all given funds to sign big-named, established players. Either Aberdeen are receiving investment from somewhere or they are in danger of going down the Rangers/Hearts route...

and threw out a toaster to save money.

Seems they are willing to pay high end and 2nd place + LC might pay it back and some.

Still prefer Hibs to be ran prudently, not sure the dons model is sustainable.

[Billychaotic182]

My flat mate is a huge dons fan. He asked me to go with him to the Aberdeen Raith game a few years back. In this game Tade looked amazing. He ran at everyone won every ball in the air and scored to put Aberdeen out. I was very impressed by him. Next year Aberdeen played Raith again in the cup and I went along with my flat again. And once again Tade was a stand out. Fast strong and scored. Raith went out but ask anyone who was at that game they will tell you Tade was outstanding. I watched him play against us for cally and St Johnston and he looked good for them too. So for me after seeing him a few times I would be happy with Tade but I do worry he is a very similar player to Collins. Maybe Tade is faster. But he can play on the wing

[bigwheel]

From Butcher's most recent quotes in the press it seems that we are not willing to pay a transfer fee (not too surprising after out outlay at the start of the season) and others are. Rooney wants a full move, we were looking at a loan deal....

[E10 Rifle]

In a win for us last season againt St. J he and Hasslebaink were superb upfront and could have scored about 5 against us had they been finishers...but they didn't. That I believe is the lesson here.

[bigstu]

sad times when Aberdeen outbid us on wages (TB himself said they did) but I suppose that is the position Aberdeen are in, they don't have a stadium & training centre to pay off. They can also see that a striker is what they needed & with him 2nd place & the league cup is almost a certainty, they are speculating to accumulate & it will probably pay off. Hibs operate in a slightly different way & it's a way that will mean our club is around for the next 100 years but it's not necessarily the way that will see us bag the best players on the market. There are arguments for & against both ways of operating.

I don't think all that is the case - we are just at a point where we used our available spending earlier in the year and they have some left. Who did Aberdeen spend a fee on when we signed Collins for example?

[Thecat23]

From what I'm told we never wanted Rooney!

[Billychaotic182]

St Johnstone have signed Chris Iwelumo on a short term deal until the end of the season

[Spike Mandela]

From what I'm told we never wanted Rooney!

At all or from the moment we realised a fee would be involved? Today's Evening news says Butcher was interested in him.

[Spike Mandela]

St Johnstone have signed Chris Iwelumo on a short term deal until the end of the season

This could signal the departure of May I take it.

[Thecat23]

He was a name Butcher had mentioned mate but we never put any bid in. Butcher obviously didn't think he's worth what Dons paid and as I said on another thread we will bring in better. Collins and Rooney are much the same. We need a Pacey striker.

[hibees 7062]

Any ideas who:wink:

No mate , just a thought since we have lost 2

[GreenPJ]

Heard last night he wants to stay at Saints till the end of his contract . At least

[Thecat23]

Sorry wages and signing on fee. Folk getting worked up over a player Butcher was only half interested in is ridiculous. Just another name of players he's got that we eventually didn't pursue.

[JimBHibees]

Perhaps Rooney isn't a priority right now that we'd want to pay for?

Indeed.

[Thecat23]

Could that be Murphy but not until the summer?

Honestly don't know mate, but I'd take him before Rooney tbh.

[JimBHibees]

WHat we need is someone like mcgowan from st mirren!!

Please no, sorry dont rate him.

[Ronniekirk]

it sounds like aberdeen have trumped us by some margin too , it begs the question

are aberdeen paying way over the odds or are we making pathetic low-ball offers ?

Other teams will know we have spend a lot of our budget on management team and those that are in top six will want to stay there as they won't see us as threat at present and if they can strengthen and we can't then yep we may find ourselves in bottom six again .its just where we are and if can't compete properly in market till summer then that's what prudent management means financially.if we get out bid in summer for tells top targets then yes we would be right to worry then

[Pretty Boy]

WHat we need is someone like mcgowan from st mirren!!

Agreed.

The quality of criminal in our squad has definitely gone downhill since Garry O moved on.

[Ronniekirk]

We don't have a training centre or stadium to pay off either.

East Mains is paid for.

The East Stand is paid for.

Im pretty sure the Famous Five and South are both paid for.

[brog]

Sorry wages and signing on fee. Folk getting worked up over a player Butcher was only half interested in is ridiculous. Just another name of players he's got that we eventually didn't pursue.

Agreed. As other posters have said Rooney is very similar to Collins in style of play but IMO we have the better player & certainly the one with greater potential & value. I would much rather we kept our money than spend out on people like Sodje or Agogo.

[bigstu]

I don't think all that is the case - we are just at a point where we used our available spending earlier in the year and they have some left. Who did Aberdeen spend a fee on when we signed Collins for example?

I think we have already established that we didn't pay £200k for Collins, this was a media myth, Petrie apparently laughed when it was suggested we paid that kind of money at a fans meeting.

Aberdeen may have not paid transfer fees but I would suggest players like Anderson, Reynolds, Flood, McGinn, Hayes, Robson, Langfield, Rooney are all on decent wages. I would also expect them to have to pay more for them to persuade them to relocate to Aberdeen too as it's not exactly the desirable city that the likes of Glasgow & Edinburgh are in the eyes of many.

And FWIW, although a mortgage is technically a debt it is a debt we have taken on an are paying up. I.e we can afford it and are living within our means. A fact some hearts fans cannot understand

I just said a fee, which is what we paid at some level. We've plenty of players ourselves who will be on decent money - Colins, Craig, Robertson, Thomson, Vine, Nelson, McPake, McGivern, Heffernan to name a few.

I don't think there is any great difference in pushing the boat out or ambition, they've just had a more settled period and added to what has gone on before in key areas, and chosen pretty well for the most part.

Hopefully St Johnstone tell them where to go. Im not the biggest fan of May but hes 21, the leagues top scorer and in terrific form. When you consider they sold Dwight Gayle in the summer for £4.5m it does seem a bit of a joke bid.

Collins has much the same overall career strike rate as Rooney and is much the same build and style.

We've been in the habit of panic buying every time we change managers, which is extravagant and wasteful, and needs to stop.

Butcher isn't just signing players for the sake of it, and for that I for one am grateful.

We won't go down, we won't be in the play-off spot, and we'll strengthen in the summer once TB's had a proper long look at things.

In the meantime he's working at securing our best youngsters for the future.

I was surprised and disappointed we were linked with him.

We've got Collins and Heff who should get some time to play together.

What we need is a different option or two with pace and some ability to create for others.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

If im honest i didnt want Rooney anyway.

[JeMeSouviens]

In a win for us last season againt St. J he and Hasslebaink were superb upfront and could have scored about 5 against us had they been finishers...but they didn't. That I believe is the lesson here.

:agree: Tade playing against us has had everything bar the composure to stick the ball in the net ... but if he had that and the pace, power, skill etc he wouldn't be coming anywhere near Hibs ...

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I agree with this, Rooney is far too similar to what we already have and lets face it the reason we are in the mess we are in is down to the previous manager signing players that were too similar to what was already there.

Given where we picked them up from I wouldn't have thought Nelson, Vine or Heff would be on megabucks?

Ok thanks. He wouldnt still be at Saints if he was improving. Some potential however to me his career is on the wane as evidenced by his recent off field nonsense. Also a complete tube on the pitch IMO.

Can I correct you please GE..... He thinks he's injury... I think there is a slight difference. He's just not up for a fight and is scared to rip his tights. Wage thief of the highest order.

Can I also add if he was any sort of half decent guy he would leave by mutual consent without a payoff but from what I have read about him he will only be interested on sitting on his arse and getting paid for it.

And they would be right. I love Leigh and really rate him but if Celtic sign him they are as good as conceding they are at best a fourth rate team in European terms.

If they were interested it would be as a proven striker in Scotland and he wouldn't be guaranteed stating place. Lennon would know he isn't what they need for Europe

sad times when Aberdeen outbid us on wages (TB himself said they did) but I suppose that is the position Aberdeen are in, they don't have a stadium & training centre to pay off. They can also see that a striker is what they needed & with him 2nd place & the league cup is almost a certainty, they are speculating to accumulate & it will probably pay off. Hibs operate in a slightly different way & it's a way that will mean our club is around for the next 100 years but it's not necessarily the way that will see us bag the best players on the market. There are arguments for & against both ways of operating.

Aberdeen pay out more on wages than Hibs most seasons.

If Vincent was to sign is he fit?. I'm sure I read he had been out with an injury. Has he played recently?

Indeed. Szamotulski had injury problems I believe and Rosa was pretty adamant from the start he was here on a short term deal.

Remember there were rumours that Hearts wanted to sign him but wouldn't sanction the move in January. He was a big favourite of Czsaba Lazlo's from a previous club. The story at the time was that he was signing for Hibs short term and then going to move to Hearts that summer.

He left hibs at the end of the season and was never heard of on these shores again.

Think he has been back since about new year

Really hope we can add someone today - with maybe 2 more next week

Still remember his diagonal ball across almost the length of the pitch, dropping it bang on whoever was on our wing, setting up the first goal against the Yams.

Think it was a fletcher Header or something.

:agree: There is a report that comes out detailing squad wage bills and theirs is usually higher than ours. Suspect we may have paid a higher weekly wage for players like Stokes, Liam Miller and Riordan than anything they have ever paid a player but they seem to be more willing to have a higher proportion of players on say 2-3k a week on their wage bill than we do.

Get the impression we have had the odd player on say 4k per week or so with the majority on around no more than 1.5k - 2k if they are lucky.

The cost lo living is higher than most places in the UK,reason the sheep pay higher wages than Hibs !

I'd consider myself extremely lucky if I were on £1.5-£2k per week! :greengrin

Yup. Was a half volley if I remember correctly over to Alan O'Brien (!) who crossed over a ball that Fletcher managed to misjudge quite spectacularly - the ball hit his shoulder and still went in.

I'll always remember that goal because it was the first time I saw Hibs beat Hearts.
