Hibs transfer thread (Last Day Update - Anier / Feruz (both loan) in, None out)

[West hamBERNIAN]

This is looking like hibs best transfer window I can remember, really building for future and quality players coming too, don't understand why some aren't happy, possibly another striker to come and rumours we are talking to mcHattie. Amazing hibs :flag::not worth

He's crap, hearts would be happy to get rid!! On the bench on Saturday.

[duffers]

The McHattie rumour better not be true:jamboak:

[duffers]

I should add, not because he's an ex yam, purely because he is a brutal footballer.

I would be surprised if we were rushing to talk to McHattie bearing in mind he is not affected by the transfer window "slamming shut" tonight. He can sign for anyone later as he has been released. I would also be surprised if he didn't know before today he was getting freed and his agent hasn't been touting him about. Also think of the last full back we signed from their promising youngster brigade. (Mullen) He has gone on to great things, not.

Just out of interest how many of the greatest squad of youngsters are left over there now? I can only think of 3 (Rolf Harris, Nicholson and King, Billy -who I can't believe hasn't been snapped up by the new club at Ibrox purely for marketing)

[West hamBERNIAN]

Surprised so many don't rate McHattie, not seen much of hearts Tbh but every time they've played us he looks a decent player. :confused:

[RCNG]

Surprised so many don't rate McHattie, not seen much of hearts Tbh but every time they've played us he looks a decent player. :confused:

Hibs make hearts look decent every time we play them.

[West hamBERNIAN]

Also just noticed Adam Hamill has been freed. Looked a great player at the Pars, while ago now right enough.

[Tha Cabbage Kid]

Surprised so many don't rate McHattie, not seen much of hearts Tbh but every time they've played us he looks a decent player. :confused:

remember when wotherspoon had him in his pocket. mchattie is rubbish and not goot enough in my opinion.

[West hamBERNIAN]

Hibs make hearts look decent every time we play them.

Haha that's true Tbf.

[Vault Boy]

Surprised so many don't rate McHattie, not seen much of hearts Tbh but every time they've played us he looks a decent player. :confused:

I don't rate him highly to be honest, average at best IMO... However, we could do a lot worse, I don't think there's any doubting that, and we need left back competition so I wouldn't be too disappointed should he be given a short term deal. Stubbs has said we aren't looking for a left back so I would imagine it would be a case of signing him purely because it was an unexpected availability, so in that case, I would rather McHattie than no one to compete for LB.

[1van Sprou7e]

remember when wotherspoon had him in his pocket. mchattie is rubbish and not goot enough in my opinion.

From what I've heard from my hearts mates he improved a lot after that game. He may not be a world beater but I would take him in a heartbeat as cover for Stevenson

[West hamBERNIAN]

remember when wotherspoon had him in his pocket. mchattie is rubbish and not goot enough in my opinion.

Maybe your right, however, if Stubbs brings him in I'll be happy with it all the same as he does seem to have an eye for a player.

[PatHead]

From what I've heard from my hearts mates he improved a lot after that game. He may not be a world beater but I would take him in a heartbeat as cover for Stevenson

.............but would he want to come as cover?

Think he will get a contract with a full time team where he can have a realistic chance of 1st team football. Hopefully not Hibs.

[Tha Cabbage Kid]

Maybe your right, however, if Stubbs brings him in I'll be happy with it all the same as he does seem to have an eye for a player.

thats a good point and maybe he has improved. i'll give Stubby the benefit of the doubt! :agree:

[calumhibee1]

Would take McHattie. People won't want to admit it but they strolled the league last season and he played a decent part in that. Scores a few goals aswell.

[S4uzee]

Surprised so many don't rate McHattie, not seen much of hearts Tbh but every time they've played us he looks a decent player. :confused:

He's gash and did he not get subbed after 30 mins in the Derby in April

[PatHead]

Maybe your right, however, if Stubbs brings him in I'll be happy with it all the same as he does seem to have an eye for a player.

................and I'm sure he could do better than McHattie

[Hibee87]

He's gash and did he not get subbed after 30 mins in the Derby in April

Think that was eckersley

[BH Hibs]

Please not McHattie he's utter pish

[West hamBERNIAN]

He's gash and did he not get subbed after 30 mins in the Derby in April

Yep, took him off for Nicholson in the 37th minute. Was that not a tactical change though?

[Hibee87]

1.57pm: Danny Swanson has pulled out of Coventry City's Under 21 match this afternoon, could he be making a return to Scotland? WOuldnt be deadline day without a swanson rumour :thumbsup:

[West hamBERNIAN]

Think that was eckersley

Was McHattie to be fair but came off for attacking midfielder so probably tactical change.

[JimBHibees]

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1586302799/foot-thumb_bigger.gifScottish Sun SportVerified account‏@scotsunsport (https://twitter.com/scotsunsport)

Hibs will include a "break" clause in the loan deal for Chelsea's Islam Feruz.

Well played if this is true. Can't argue with having a chelsea development player, for free, for a year, who we can also tell to p**s off if he's a p***k. Well done hibs. Not a single complaint from me :thumbsup:

Apparently that is standard practice for all Hibs loans according to Kenny Millar (Sun journo).

[JimBHibees]

The way Stubbs spoke about Stevenson in his last interview would seem Lewis is the number one and anyone coming in would be as cover not as a replacement.

I saw that personally thought it was a position being taken to hopefully encourage someone deliberating about joining Hibs, may be wrong with that.

[JimBHibees]

1.57pm: Danny Swanson has pulled out of Coventry City's Under 21 match this afternoon, could he be making a return to Scotland? WOuldnt be deadline day without a swanson rumour :thumbsup:

Probably back to St Johnstone ?

[Unseen work]

Adam hammil has just been released from Huddersfield. He would be an excellent signing!

Imagine him, feruz, mchattie and a target man

Sorry I'm getting carried away. It's too exciting :greengrin

[JimBHibees]

He only played 15 games last season.

:hyper:scarf::woohoo:

[NAE NOOKIE]

Just to be clear ............. I wasn't saying Feruz isn't a good player, or that he might not turn out to be brilliant for us. All I was pointing out was that his previous loan spells don't appear to have worked out too well.

From the lads point of view this loan move is a double edged sword. On the one hand given his apparently undoubted quality ( I have never seen him play ) he has to look on this as a chance to play a whole season of first team football which will improve him as a player and he will return to Chelsea an older and wiser player. On the other hand, like it or not, he has now landed in a league where he simply has to stand out if he has any chance of making it at Chelsea ..... I would doubt that they would be impressed if he cant break into the first team at a Scottish Championship club.

I have not formed any opinion on him .... like every player Hibs sign I will do that after I have seen him play and when he does he will get my full support.

[Libby Hibby]

I would take McHattie, our LB position is in need of some serious competition

[Mikey09]

Any Braking rumours re Deeks?! :hyper

[Kato]

@bbckennymac: #BBCSPORTSOUND - Kevin McHattie has been released by @JamTarts #Hearts

A few of the roasters on the Scotsman comments were adamant that he would have a long, successful career at Hearts including international honours.

[Hibee87]

Probably back to St Johnstone ?

Yeah no mention of hibs, I added that part. the rest was taken from STV transfer centre :aok:

[NAE NOOKIE]

1.57pm: Danny Swanson has pulled out of Coventry City's Under 21 match this afternoon, could he be making a return to Scotland? WOuldnt be deadline day without a swanson rumour :thumbsup:

Oh Danny boy, the Hibs the Hibs are calling ......... :greengrin

[Squealing pig]

Welcome great signing

[HibbySpurs]

Apparently that is standard practice for all Hibs loans according to Kenny Millar (Sun journo).

With Chelsea paying his salary during the loan period they will have had a big say in which club he went to (believe others were in the hunt?). This to me is a real bit of kudos from Chelsea towards Hibs that they obviously felt the club haf the right management team and infrastructure at the club for the boy to develop.

Well done LD, AS and the entire club in general for this sort of signing. There are clubs you would want to have potential links with and Chelsea is surely one of them.

:flag:

[erin go bragh]

Welcome great signing

Who ? Perez

GGTTH

[TheFamous1875]

He only played 15 games last season.


He he was injured for a big chunk of the season but was instrumental in their success when he was available; apparently the injury stunted his progress and he couldn't get back up to his earlier standards. Personally, I'd take him if he became available. He would offer much needed competition for Stevenson. He was left out to dry by Neilson in that last derby, by playing him at the left of a back three and then subbing him; I think that's the main reason why most of us are remembering him as utterly rank.

[S4uzee]

Yep, took him off for Nicholson in the 37th minute. Was that not a tactical change though?

Maybe but they could've taken Eckersley off instead and didn't. I just don't rate him personally

[Haymaker]

Have we actually signed Feruz? Nothing on the main site or twitter page. Won't believe it until I see it there.

[PiemanP]

Don't rate McTattie at all. Seems a very limited footballer. Would rather try and get the young lad Crane involved in the first team if we can't improve on Stevenson.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Have we actually signed Feruz? Nothing on the main site or twitter page. Won't believe it until I see it there.

Probably waiting to get all our business done and announce it together

[zlatan]

Must admit given how utterly honking Dundee United are looking this season it's not the most captivating name being linked with someone who can't get a look in with them.

[Big_Franck]

I'd be looking forward to seeing Feruz play, but i'm praying we don't sign McHattie. The boy's stinking.

[Beefster]

The Sun understand Hibs are close to signing Henri Anier

Beefster understands that we're close to the bottom of 'the list'.

[worcesterhibby]

Awww crap he's absolutely stinking

good stats for his country (21 apps 6 goals at int level is not bad)

Rest is very underwhelming

SCRUB THAT just realised the goals came against Oman, Andorra, Jordan, Lichtenstien and Trinidad & tobago

[flash]

Cue 6 pages of heartbreak from the morons who thought we were getting Stokes.

[SteveHFC]

Beefster understands that we're close to the bottom of 'the list'.
:thumbsup:

[Andy74]

I thought he looked quite a handful whenever we have played against him.

Remember we have 4 decent strikers already so adding another couple of options is good.

[Bostonhibby]

I'd be looking forward to seeing Feruz play, but i'm praying we don't sign McHattie. The boy's stinking.

Had to look on here when I got a txt saying we were linked with McHattie. FFS don't be true. I thought we were going to be delighted by the quality of the signings this time around.

[flash]

Good luck with realism on this forum Andy.

[S4uzee]

I'd rather we never bothered

[Onceinawhile]

Anier to sign? Don't remember much about him tbh.

[Waxy]

Surely Mchattie to Killie would be most likely?

[ManBearPig]

Anierhad potential hopefully Stubbs can get something out of him lets bare in mind these strikers are likely to be second string to Cummings and keatings

[liamh2202]

Did anier not do well at Motherwell. Wouldn't take mchattie personally. But I'm happy to give the lad a chance if Alan sees something

[Billychaotic182]

Anier is not good. Seen him a good few times for United and he would not be a good Signing

[GordonHFC]

Cue 6 pages of heartbreak from the morons who thought we were getting Stokes.

Morons, really?

Well how would you describe someone who thought we might get him? Delusional at best.

[Steve20]

Optimistic.

Well how would you describe someone who thought we might get him? Delusional at best.

[Andy74]

Anier is not good. Seen him a good few times for United and he would not be a good Signing

He's only played 12 games for them has he not? How many of those have you been to?

Is 12 games even much to get up to speed?

Seems a decent back up option to me.

[SteveHFC]

Feruz confirmed.

[percy veer]

would take mchattie, the left back spot is a problem.

[flash]

Certainly wouldn't be calling them morons.

It's because people believe this pish that they end up moaning and groaning when we make signings appropriate to where we are right now.

I don't think Stubbs would do that. He must have seen something in him to be interested.

Doubt he was top of his target list though.

Anyone know what type of player he is?


Target man? Speed merchant? Mobile?

[Andy74]

Can't disagree with this. So much for AS saying in the Evening News that he wont bring someone in on transfer deadline day just for the sake of it. Why him?

You'd assume he has some specific qualities that the manager thinks we need?

[JimBHibees]

Can't disagree with this. So much for AS saying in the Evening News that he wont bring someone in on transfer deadline day just for the sake of it. Why him?

Honestly cant remember much about him however it is probably just a case of being a different option to the other strikers we have. Certainly wont be writing him off before I see him playing.

[hfc-1875]

Hoping a new first choice LB is signed but praying it isn't mchattie. Stevenson is alright but but we could get better.

[Andy74]

Defo . Would rather we went for the Pars no 10 .

For what role though? It's about the player for the role he thinks we have a gap in. We've just signed Feruz as well. How would he do at Dunfermline? Maybe okay I hope.

12 goals in 8 games . I'm sure we could find a place in the team for him .

GGTTH

[Hibee87]

So basically you are accusing the manager of throwing away the club's money just because he can.

Yeah thats exactly what im saying.

In all honesty are you excited about the prospect of signing a player who has scored about 10 goals in 4 years? is he better than what we already have? we currently have cummings, keetings, malonga, el aguei (soon) and now feruz fighting for 2 places. Will Anier get a place ahead of any of those? I dont think so, so in essence, yes, its a waste of money when other areas could be looked at first.

[DH1875]

Chelsea players out on loan:

Mohamed Salah (Roma), Juan Cuadrado (Juventus), Marko Marin (Trabzonspor), Marko van Ginkel (Stoke), Patrick Bamford (Crystal Palace), Nathaniel Chalobah (Napoli) Lucas Piazon (Reading), Jordan Houghton (Gillingham), Christian Atsu (Bournemouth), Wallace (Carpi), Danilo Pantic, Nathan, Dominic Solanke, Lewis Baker, Isaiah Brown (all Vitesse Arnhem), Nathan Ake (Watford), Mario Pasalic (Monaco), Alex Davey (Peterborough), Jeremie Boga (Rennes), Todd Kane (NEC), Tomas Kalas (Middlesbrough), Ulises Davila (Vitoria Setubal), Cristian Cueves and Victorien Angban (both Sint Truiden), Andreas Christensen (Borussia Mochengladbach), Cristian Manea (Mouscron), Kenneth Omeruo (Kasimpasa), Matej Delac (FK Sarajevo).

You've gotta feel sorry for Alex Davey :)

Absolutely! A new LB for example

[ManBearPig]

Surely a LB and we have strong squad?

[greenlex]

For what role though? It's about the player for the role he thinks we have a gap in. We've just signed Feruz as well. How would he do at Dunfermline? Maybe okay I hope.

We are a bit lightweight wide left? Maybe Feruz can do a job there. Carmichael wide right would be more effective I reckon.

[hibees 7062]

Where did that Adam Eckersley end up?

He never :greengrin

[Andy74]

Absolutely! A new LB for example

The manager has said he doesn't need a left back though.

[PatHead]

Thought I would have a look at the BBC site to see what else was happening. Their live update has 2 The Rangers players going out on loan, Celtic player going to Southampton and Robbie Muirhead loan to Partick from Dundee Utd. No mention of Islam or anyone else for that matter.

Meanwhile their transfer ins and outs page includes this little beauty

Prediction: 2nd. Alan Stubbs has been able to keep most of a squad together that just missed out on promotion via the play-offs and they should challenge again at the top, particularly if they can continue to thwart Rangers' attempt to sign midfielder Scott Allan.

Even though above it....................

One that got away: Scott Allan had started to look a class above other midfielders in the Championship, but he engineered himself a transfer, albeit Celtic paid out a small fee, only a year after his arrival after a disappointing spell with West Brom.

They are so far up The Rangers hole it is unbelievable.

[S4uzee]

The manager has said he doesn't need a left back though.

We'll surely a LB would be better than Anier if that goes ahead

[zlatan]

Islam Feruz trending in the UK yet we don't have a wee man outside East Mains looking cold and bored saying absolutely piss all is happening every 75 minutes :grr:

[Andy74]

We'll surely a LB would be better than Anier if that goes ahead

What for?

I'd rather allow the manager to fill the gaps he thinks we have. He knows what particular attributes he wants to play particular ways so if he is looking for cover up front then of course Anier will be better than a left back for him.

[stokesmessiah]

Who is this Dave Reed boy on SSN? He looks like he should be taking a nap at this time of the afternoon.

[Golden Bear]

I'd like to think that I've a fair knowledge of Scottish football but I must admit that I've never even heard of this Anier guy.

However I never fail to be impressed by the comprehensive and instant in depth knowledge that many of the posters seem to possess on the capabilities of anyone and everyone whom we are even remotely connected with.

Unfortunately most of the comments are of an extreme negative nature which I suppose is in keeping with the overall tone of the Messageboard!

[IanM]

Quite surprised we've not been linked to an Everton players!

[lucky]

Anier would be no better than what we've got in our development squad. After being linked with Higdon, Stokes , McKay and May he would be a major let done. Has done nothing of note in his career.

[I'm_cabbaged]

Quite surprised we've not been linked to an Everton players!

However I never fail to be impressed by the comprehensive and instant in depth knowledge that many of the posters seem to possess on the capabilities of anyone and everyone whom we are even remotely connected with.

Unfortunately most of the comments are of an extreme negative nature which I suppose is in keeping with the overall tone of the Messageboard!
Yip the message board attracts so many top class football coaches its unbelievable:greengrin

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Big annie might well do a turn for us in this division

[Andy74]

Anier would be no better than what we've got in our development squad. After being linked with Higdon, Stokes , McKay and May he would be a major let done. Has done nothing of note in his career.

No better than our development players? Like who exactly? Allan who looked way out his depth at this stage when it came to it?

The scouting set up was explained on the tours of East mains. They work on models of player attributes to play particular roles and all the games all over the world are logged with player performances and how they stack against what we have and what we need.

I would imagine if Anier signs he meets the criteria at this stage for a role.

[BSEJVT]

Don't know if its the case or not, but Maybe the Anier deal is linked to the supposed loan deal to United for Sam Stanton?

That way Stubbs gets in a player who he thinks may contribute and gets rid of one who he isn't convinced can? At worst Sam Stanton gets to go out on loan and have the chance of developing elsewhere, before coming back?

I never have any inside info and am grateful to the guys that do that post, but I sometimes wonder if some of the flights of fancy we have had posted on here about who we are signing make it impossible for those that we actually do sign to live up to.

I also think some folk need a bit of a reality check, this has IMO been one of the best windows we have ever had for recruiting quality and if at the end of it we take a couple of chances to fill out the squad then why shouldn't we.

Stubbs signing record is pretty good and he and the players signed deserve a bit of slack before they are castigated by certain elements of the support whose expectations are completely divorced from reality.

[E10 Rifle]

Anier would be no better than what we've got in our development squad. After being linked with Higdon, Stokes , McKay and May he would be a major let done. Has done nothing of note in his career.

I don't think he'll be brought in with the view that's he's going to be either our top goalscorer or a starter. I reckon his main job will be to give Stubbs options and allow a change-up off the bench if required, especially if 10 men are parked behind the ball as is often the case.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Anier hasn't even signed yet and even if he does, give the guy a chance instead of writing the guy off calling him pish and all the rest of it. Give the guy a chancr ffs, might not be what we wanted/expected but it is what it is.

[PatHead]

Bet you no-one was excited when we signed Mixu in this division last time around. He proved to be a great signing.

Don't know much about Anier but will give him every chance if Stubbs thinks he fits in with his plan.

[Kato]

Bet you no-one was excited when we signed Mixu in this division last time around. He proved to be a great signing.

We desperately need a Mixu.

[KeithTheHibby]

If we don't get the big name experience striker then so be it. It should not cloud the fact that Hibs have done extremely well this window considering how many quality players we have brought in.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I remember thinking mcleish was mad to sign him. ...mixu is one of my all time favourites now and turned out to be a fantastic signing

[Steve20]

Really? I seem to remember thinking he looked quite good at Dundee Utd and Aberdeen and was quite pleased with the signing as it was a big improvement on what we had at that time.

Folk having a go at Feruz before he's even played one game  Only Hibs fans! Seriously though give him a ****ing chance his ability is there and if we can get something out him he will piss this league.

Agree with the sentiment Cat but we've been here before signing young unproven lads from Premiership clubs and other big teams.

I am sure youg Islam will go on and have a great career, even show some potential and exciting flashes whilst at us, but ultimately his development and experience will benefit more from us than we will benefit from him imo.

[Hibee87]

Your all correct I never said if like I thought I did, I said hopefully this aint true. I followed it up by aaking is he better than we have ansdlisted our current options. My opinion is allowed. based on what ive seen of him at well and utd and I dont believe he is worth the wage. Wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we all agreed and ripped the heid aff it on every signing/rumoured signing, bit its not and ill voice my opinion as I see fit.

And as side note I believe tbat this deal is very much on, stanton was due ro go the other way bit im hearing this has fallen through.

I dont rate anier or think he will add anything, if im wrong great, but accept my opinion without getting all uppity about it.

[Baw187]

I'm always willing to give folk a chance and he looks ok in that vid. Having said that, I've had a Utd supporting mate messaging me wetting herself at the prospect of getting shot of him! She sent me some screenshots of Utd fans pishing themselves at is taking him. If he signs we can see for ourselves I guess.

Don't really know what's happened to this all singing all dancing scouting system.

All players we've signed would have been known using the system we used previously.

I was under impression we were going to 've able to look further afield (like hearts are doing successfully just now)

[Sir David Gray]

Hope Feruz has grown up a bit in recent years, he had a questionable attitude a few years ago.

[PatHead]

Can't believe the number of posters on here having a go at Anier already saying they don't think he is up to it. I trust Alan Stubbs judgement better than all yours put together and look forward to welcoming the guy to Easter Road if he signs.

If he doesn't cut the mustard I am sure you will all be on here telling us you were right as your judgement is obviously correct and you know more about football than our manager.

[SHODAN]

Ken what, if we sign him and he turns out to be mince, he won't bloody play.

We've had a fantastic transfer window. Get over it.

Are you not happy with our signings Bingo?

All I'm saying is do you think he was top of stubbs list ? no . do you think he is better than we have got ? No is he the experienced striker we need? No not at age 24 and no game time.

[nellio]

Would love Sibbald. Great player, young as well.

[PatHead]

Really? I seem to remember thinking he looked quite good at Dundee Utd and Aberdeen and was quite pleased with the signing as it was a big improvement on what we had at that time.

Must admit I thought Mixu looked overweight and was past it when he signed whereas I thought Alan Gow was going to be a great signing.

Shows what I know about football.

Bad signings are either rubbish or have underperformed for whatever reason. To blame the rumours on a fans forum for the failure of some of our signings is mental.. Seems like some fans want to blame our fans for everything..

[Iceman1875]

Would love Sibbald. Great player, young as well.

Agreed he's a great player but where would he play?


At Easter Road we play...

[Iceman1875]

I predict a striker coming in and Stanton leaving on loan before midnight. We have done well this window...

[IanM]

The best part of the window! ita all about Scotland.. I think Stubbs has something up his sleeve

[PatHead]

I doubt he was "top of the list". I honestly don't know if he is better than what we have, he does have some experience though not a lot.

So all we are saying is "does the manager think he will help us get promoted?" Obviously yes or he wouldn't be signing him.

Nothing personal but I trust his judgement more than yours.

Think this has been a great window. Just compare this to the team that got us relegated and the one that started last season. Options and different styles of play all over the place.

[Yuillsy]

Hope Feruz has grown up a bit in recent years, he had a questionable attitude a few years ago.

Looks like he has recently become a father (seen this on his Instagram). If that doesn't make him grow up nothing will!!

[Billychaotic182]

Plenty of teams are interested in Sibbald but put off because of the price Falkirk have put on him. He is ambitious and wants a good move to England

????? You're right he's not :confused:

[PatHead]

As I posted elsewhere I have no problem with opinions but we have to base these on facts. A lot of the opinions seem to be based on the "fact" that they wanted someone better who was not available and some posters just seem to be having a moan for the sake of it.

I think we have had a great summer of signings - McGeogh, McGinn both cost money, McGregor is a solid signing, Carmichael was a player admired by a lot of fans here, Boyle adds a bit of pace which was lacking, Lewis and Fontaine resigning is great, Liam Henderson and Feruz are exciting young talents.

Yet folk still moan :confused:.

[bingo70]

Are you not happy with our signings Bingo?

They're ok. There's not many I've got a problem with and some look really good.

Not really my point though, Im just a bit surprised we're not looking a bit further afield as I thought that's what we bought some expensive scouting system for?

As long as we get good players in that's all that matters I suppose, just pointing out we seem to have abandoned the new scouting system after a year.

He isn't good enough to clean Anier's boots

not sure if it is news but headline on BBC that May has signed for Preston

[AlbertK86]

Regarding Anier IF Stubbsy thinks he's good enough then let's trust him

However is there any substance to this.

I know Kenny Millar from the sun has tweeted about it and he is usually pretty accurate but have any of our ITK guys like Scoopyboy, The Cat, Brooster or others heard anything

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Doyle and May aswell as Garner up front for Preston this season. Not bad that!

Doubt we have abandoned the scouting system as I think that was a long term vision aimed at getting the best youth available and players from lower leagues. This season was all about getting out of this godforsaken division and I am excited about our options.

If we can get a bit of pace in our play we will romp this league. I do think we have a better squad than any of our opponents. Onwards and upwards.

Suppose that's my point, last year we were told the new scouting system was all part of the new long tern vision but after a year we've gone back to the old system that's served us so badly over the last 5-10 years.

The signing of anier worries me, it's exactly the sort of last minute panic signing We always make. I thought with Stubbs we had a manager that would demand better than that, this just doesn't make any sense when we don't need him, looks to me like he's panicking a bit though.

If he is just a loan signing and cover until Farid gets back it makes sense. Don't think it is panic in that context.

[bingo70]

Just my interpretation of what was being said.

I think there's a whole footballing world out there that we by and large seem to ignore, there's bound to be some great bargains from further afield, hearts seem to be waking up to that and I'd hoped we were doing the same.

Just my opinion, but don't think this is the case at all, true I don't think Anier was his first choice striker, [backed up by the failed attempt to land Daly], however do think that he was on the list of strikers we would accept.

How do you know it's a 'panic' signing. He may have been one of several options. There's a difference. I really don't get what you are going on and on about here to be honest, do you think we should only be looking outside the league we are in?
I've just looked at the list of players we have signed since the end of last season and if I had been told it beforehand I would have been delighted.

Think you are missing the point on the scouting.

What it should mean is that you'd be wrong about the rest of your post. We will have details on whether he has the attributes for the specific role that the manager is looking to fill.

Do you see Stubbs as someone who is going to panic buy? Particularly when most of us don't see a huge need for a striker anyway. He will have a clear view on what he intends for him.

Nothing can guarantee you if a signing ultimately works or not though.

Forgot one of the things that was said was that they looked at players over a long period of time to ensure that they were right for the club. The Islam rumour started some time ago so maybe that adds strength to the arguement. Carmichael was the same and they had a good look at Boyle, McGinn and Oxley. Not really a lot of last minute signings.

I assume Anier is the same.

Have to agree, Dutch, German, Spanish etc.. Happy with what we have done this window but think we should also be scouting in these countries. If folk say "maybe we are" I don't think so because you can't tell me they couldn't find one player abroad that would fit in here.

Signing players from abroad is an added risk. If players here fit the bill then that is surely first option?

We did get Malonga and Dje Dje from outwith the UK with mixed results.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Don't have a problem with the Anier signing to be honest, its just a loan so doesn't sound like we are wasting any money .... He sounds like a back up for Farid, which unfortunately doesn't bode well for his return to full fitness any time soon.

Yeah as I said I'm more than happy at this window and I think we have done really well. Time will tell if these lads settle in but Furez is one I think could do damage. Sadly with Hibs being so badly run which has left us down in the second tier of Scottish football players we should and could get will look for teams like Dons, Hearts Dundee Utd because they are in the top flight.

I do agree there is always that risk, Dom has done well and I'd have thought we may look back to even France. I don't think it should matter if a player is UK born or French if they would fit the mould Hibs want then go for them. We surely don't have to continue with UK players.

Bringing youth through is important for me, we have failed badly in that department for a few years now, I would hope the future will be a mix of our home grown players and others.

Means I agree with you :thumbsup:




Edit: I probably use the smiley thingies too much :D

Edit2: and can't remember the shorthand for them on my phone... Oh well.....

Just my interpretation of what was being said.

I think there's a whole footballing world out there that we by and large seem to ignore, there's bound to be some great bargains from further afield, hearts seem to be waking up to that and I'd hoped we were doing the same.

I don't think it's a case of hearts waking up to it, for me it's potters 'contacts' he done the same thing when he was manager first time round and done the same at Utd e.g the big lad zeefuik was recommended to him by de vries who in turn was plucked from obscurity by potter, both Stubbs and George Craig's background is in youth development so it's no surprise really that in the main we're signing young guys with potential, it would cost far too much for a club like hibs to scout over Europe IMO

[Thecat23]

You any idea if that's us finished for today bringing players in

Be surprised if we brought any more in. Was told two strikers in yesterday and that's two in. One the fans would be very happy about (assuming Fruez) Hibs may see this as a scoop. I'm happy with him anyway!

Maybe still get a Left Back but I'm being greedy.

@STVPaul: #Hibs have now completed the signing of Dundee United forward Henri Anier on loan until the end of the season.
I am happy with that, Stubbs has shown he has a good eye for a player.

Perfect cheers TC

Suppose that's my point, last year we were told the new scouting system was all part of the new long tern vision but after a year we've gone back to the old system that's served us so badly over the last 5-10 years.

The signing of anier worries me, it's exactly the sort of last minute panic signing We always make. I thought with Stubbs we had a manager that would demand better than that, this just doesn't make any sense when we don't need him, looks to me like he's panicking a bit though.

My impression is that the revamp of the scouting system was to revitalise the kids market(10 years old upwards)-it was poor.Pat Fenlon said if you don't go after the best youngsters we shouldn't be surprised if we didn't have too many good senior players.He thought we were rank in that department.

Thinking you are stretching it a bit there Cat in terms of somebody to be 'very happy' about:cb :greengrin Might turn out to be decent and useful signings though, time will tell.

[K-Zazu]

Think that's us finished for the window?

[Just Alf]

Phew!

Do we have a cold sweat/relieved smiley that I could use??? :wink:

Haha, those weren't my words but the words of someone from the club that the fans would be "very happy".

I think Feruz will rip up this league but no idea about the other boy!

[Hibeesmad]

Kilmarnock are interested in Jordon Forster. I'd imagine a loan deal would be the most likely outcome

[bigwheel]

Don't think we can afford to let him go - I think he will get plenty football this season with us

[Steve20]

Hope not. We're short on numbers at the back.

I was speaking to someone who works at east mains through my work and they were saying they had been or are (cant remember fully) trialling a scouting system based on volunteers who had spent some time training with a scout they then submitted reports on games/players they had seen in their areas. At the time they werent sure if it would be permanently implemented and I assume it is for younger players. Anyway i thought it was interesting when they were telling me and hopefully signs that the scouting is improving.

I'd be hoping the likely outcome would be to tell them to bolt, Forster is a good centre half and dangerous in the opposition box I'd rather he got his game time here rather than under that clown Locke

Never happening.

And after all the injuries he's had, the last thing he needs to do play on astro every 2nd week

[.Louise.]

On official site about Anier now

[stokesmessiah]

Confirmed now, loan until end of season.

[Ringothedog]

That's us with 3 of the best Scottish talents at our club for the rest of the season. This could be a really enjoyable, exciting season. GGTTH

[Ronniekirk]

Is that our business concluded??

Thoughts!!

Stubbs said two in and that's what we have got ,so think the answer is yes Aldo ,at least to players coming in. We tried to bring in other Strikers but wasn't to be ,so with signing Anier from United you have to assume we don't have other irons in the fire that we are waiting to hear back about ,so he has opted for someone who if he recaptured the form of his first stint at Motherwell would clearly give as something .
We would all love to think if another quality player was made available in the last few hours of the window we could spring a surprise but think that will be it

[Onceinawhile]

We normally say when we've concluded business and don't seem to have done so yet. Maybe one more in or one out?

[Andy74]

Have to agree, Dutch, German, Spanish etc.. Happy with what we have done this window but think we should also be scouting in these countries. If folk say "maybe we are" I don't think so because you can't tell me they couldn't find one player abroad that would fit in here.

Maybe Stubbs has been reading the board.

Says he knows the Scottish game and so can hit the ground running. Also that he will help get the best out of others.

Fair enough.

Until the club says that's it then there may always be a chance (don't think there will be but its good to hope)

[kaimendhibs]

That would be my hope for every single game we play👍

[Matty_Jack04]

Good point also never thought of that

[Onion]

As a Champ side, cannot see how Stubbs could have done much better in the window. For years, we've seen Hibs leave it too late, being left to fill the squad with dross, journeymen and panic buys. Not the case this time. Add in the unwanted SA fiasco, and overall Hibs have done an amazing job this summer.

[Hamish]

Would think we would be trying to get 2 or 3 of the youngsters out on loan, possibly Dunsmore and perhaps Crane to get them some game time. Scoopyboy has already said Sam could be away on loan as well.

[Gmack7]

What's not to like about this scenario
