He looks a very good standard but Wiki says that he's a central midfield player. Do we really need another player in this position?

I can't get the links copied properly on my phone for some reason.

He seems a good standard. Would be a good addition even if just to cover for Fyvie/McGinn injuries.

Even forgetting the Juve link he's made a good few appearances at some decent clubs. Was on loan at King Doms team last season.

Again, we barely have any central midfielders. Not read it but guessing it may be for January, in which case we have McGinn and Fyvie out, Dylan injury prone, which leaves us with Shinnie, Bartley and Martin... it's one position where we are extremely light and frankly, you can never have enough quality players.

Depends how much he'll cost/want in wages. I'd rather we prioritised wide players over another centre mid.

He can play on the left and through the middle. We need central midfield players as McGinn is injured and McGeouch cannot be relied upon to stay fit. imo wide players is the last thing we need as we play 3-5-2. Boyle, Shinnie and Harris can all play wide.

Never heard of him before but he seems to have a good pedigree. Played regularly for clubs a couple levels above Hibs and is still a good age at 25. Be interesting to see if there's any truth in this.

Disaster but if we can continue to win our games without FF, SJM and Harris then surely the league is ours. I think MB, DM and SM will do alright in there providing they keep fit.

Does it not depend when he became a free agent? I think if he was still contracted to a club at the end of the summer transfer window (and released shortly after) we'd need to wait until January to sign him.

That's correct. Unless it's different if they're coming from abroad but it's definitely the case here.

Have to disagree.

Harris has had his chance, doesn't look like he can beat a player anymore. Boyle il give you, but he hasn't had a roper run. Shinnie on he wing???Not for me.

We are crying out for fast, tricky players, wether its a winger/mid or even another striker who can drop deep, who can open up these div 1 defences who shut up shop. And who can chip in with goals as well.

We have the forwards to put the ball in the net, supply, IMO is bit thin on the ground.

Who would you drop to accommodate these fast tricky wingers? Would you play one up front? Would you go 4-4-2 and drop a CB and Shinnie? We are playing our best football with 3-5-2 and whilst it is nice to be flexible it is also worth considering prioritising the players that best fit our system.

First of all, it's not about dropping players, it's about having players for most positions/formations.

As for 3-5-2, it's flexible, with full back's it changes to 5-3-2 when defending.

We DO play our best football with that formation, the only problem being, our full back's are not the best at beating players and getting crosses in, both are excellent defenders, who can get forward, but IMO their final ball, especially Stevenson is poor.

We could still play 3-5-2 with wingers instead of full backs in the wide positions, that's what the 3rd CH in the defensive 3 is for, to cover for the lack of full back's

Plus do we really need FIVE defensive players at home against the likes of Morton, Dumbarton & Ayr Utd?? IMO we should be going out and smashing these teams, and apart from a couple of games, we have struggled to break teams down.

Away from home to the likes of Falkirk, Dundee Utd and possibly Raith, then play the full backs.

Maybe I'm wrong and playing more attacking would leave us more open, but IMO the proof was in the pudding against Falkirk, 22 shots to 1 and the game ended 1-1.

I sometimes think Shinnie drifts out of games, if not wingers then a Zemmama type in the middle to give him competition.

We should really be questioning if the story is true and why would he even choose to come to Hibs when he should be able to get a decent club abroad or even in England.

Thanks Scoopyboy & Johnnyboy

Many many moons ago ( 40 years or thereabouts ) my uncle used to drive a van for Sunblest and I was his helper on Saturday's

He did East Lothian and I remember delivering to Forte's café in Haddington, predominantly because he told me that Joe had been on Hibs books, I would have put at around 20 then and he had been released by then I think, but Joe definitely used to be in the café on Saturday mornings to take the deliveries.
