Surprised they signed a player of that quality, then again I was also surprised when we signed Malonga and Allan.

Seems they are still spending more than their rivals.

Maybe not bonkers, but perhaps very annoyed at having to queue. Some of us have paid our tenners, disgrace, etc.

We won't know until we are a few months into the season.

The thing Hearts have done that we haven't is identify positions that needed improved and then bring in players for that position. We haven't done that with positions such as left back and defensive midfield.

What I think they're doing is making sure they're well covered in every position, something I feel we haven't.

You don't just need a strong first eleven, you need good replacements for when one of them is injured or suspended. That can often be the difference between success of failure over a season.

I've long found it strange that a lot of posters on here seem to give Hearts the benefit of the doubt on various things but at the same time are relentlessly negative about anything and everything Hibs do.

Hearts are signing guys to cover positions and by the look of their squad and where they are sitting they are doing it right. I've back The Rangers to win the league but strongly fancy Hearts to run away with it.

We are still a fair bit away from them IMO.

Yes, we seem allergic to defensive midfielders so I can't imagine we were competing with Hearts for this player.

No self-respecting Frenchman would choose Hearts over Hibs anyhow, given the choice. Their aesthetic sensibilities would surely be repelled by the maroon.

It's sad reading people put down a player just because he is a hearts player. Just because we are hibs fans doesn't mean we have to look at everything through green tinted glasses.

Saying that I hope he turns out to be rubbish

They cheated before signing players way out of the payment league and seem to be at it again.

Email to the authorities on the cards I think, have they paid former players what they are owed yet?

Disgusting club and fans.

The boy might be decent but maybe he won't. I don't think we should be looking at Hearts as an example of how to run a club. Lets just get behind Alan Stubbs and the rest of the management team and hope that they have a LONG TERM plan for this club. I'd rather put up with them finishing above us this season if we were doing everything right to get us challenging at the top of the SPL consistently than splurge money on short term signings just to win the championship this season.

What's wrong with them buying players? They can't spend what they don't have.

Their crowds are way up on what was expected so why shouldn't they bring in more players?

Need to move with the times, they cheated and got away with it however they appear to be doing things correctly now.

Previously this may have got to me, not now though as I'm more worried what we do.

Last season I think I spent more time looking out for Hearts scores and league position rather than watch and worry about Hibs.

For example I was delighted at Crimbo when Killie and PT won at Tynecastle, hindsight tells me I should have maybe wanted Hearts to win.

You really need to get over it. That was then, this is now. They are doing nothing wrong in signing players on one year deals in an attempt to get promoted at the first go.

Maybe you should be directing your ire at why Hibs are not putting the same effort in to winning promotion.

Do you seriously think we would have gotten away with what they did?, £35 million quid debt written out with a funny handshake in court and a smug yam politician's phone call.

Is it not just the case that at the start of his season hearts had fewer problem positions to fill than we did. Stubbs identified we need a r/b - signed Grey, same for goalkeeper, c/h, c/m, wingers, c/f so how can you say we haven't identified problem areas and then taken steps to rectify the situation as clearly we have, we just had a bigger job to do that's all.

Of course we would have, it's called administration. The yams were no different to Dundee (twice), Motherwell and Livingston. Only the Huns suffered worse. Need to move on.

Yep, & also on a deal until end of season. Cue the complaints re short term thinking etc. FWIW this guy may be decent but I wouldn't have thought that was an area Yams were short in. Reinforces thoughts that Harry Potter is de facto manager though.

I don't give a toss who they sign to be honest. Who is he? Never heard of him. Who cares?

Yes, the mutants (good word) got away with murder, and I believe many Hibs fans have a sense of injustice about where the two clubs are right now.

However, Hibs as a club now have to look to make sure our squad is capable of getting promotion, and Hibs fans should stop caring about this horrible club from Gorgie, apart from when we play them. Then get right into them, and win.

I agree it IS a good thing that nobody is really bothered. You were right in expecting it to, I think, because it has gone bonkers over much less, but I think it`s also a good sign that it didn`t. I wasn`t having a go at you btw, things have been so dire and it just seems that we are always expecting the worst in every scenario where Hibs are concerned.

Its not going to make them any stronger

Its not as if they have signed Messi FFS

Far too many folk on here wet their pants when another team sign some no mark and use it as an excuse to criticise the club and think they are part of the joke by mentioning helipads or infrastructure.

Like the bloody referendum its way beyond tiresome

This. How an earth can they be signing and affording players of this quality?they are just out of admin ffs. think we need to start pressurising the authorities into taking action again as the relentless cheating that we see at this filthy club looks set to continue. it really is sickening watching this happen when we play by the rules and sign players we can afford, only to lose games to lesser opposition because of it. the only reason they are top is because they have cheated and because they are spending huge wages to attract these players. I don't know why we don't just cheat and bring in decent players given there appears to be no consequences for doing so. They are a disgraceful club with absolutely no remorse in what they have done.

That's what they're doing isn't it? Or do you honestly believe they're out there stealing money to sign superstars, because no one will be lending them anything these days. Their stated pre season budget was a million for players, which will have been added to with ST sales, but please, don't let truth get in the way of blind hatred.
