Hopefully over the line. He will take a few games to fit and hopefully Simon and davey can finish of Boyles great work. I'm sure swanson will chip in with goals. I reckon there will be one more winger/striker signed and of course the prospect of commons signing around early November. The best transfer window since mcleish signed sauzee latapy O'Neil etc.

This has been a tremendous transfer window for us so far, haven't felt this optimistic about challenging for 2nd spot in in a while. Maybe one or two more faces on the way too (not itk :wink:) to top it off. Its good being a hibee at the moment, plus with the jambos a total shambles before the league campaign even starts is the icing on the cake. Bring on Saturday :flag::thumbsup::flag:

feel so good about things now. It has taken me until a fortnight ago to get exited about this season but it is kicking in now! I've only seen us at Dingwall and liked what we saw, and with new players banging them in against lower division teams I'm happy. we have somehow struggled to do this in recent years.. Stokesy in the mix now, adds something special imho

Delighted - he is just what we need.

Our squad is looking brilliant now...if I am being greedy one more striker and another pacey/tricky winger.

Doesn't sound like we have spent a ludicrous amount this summer either - just been clever about our signing policy :aok:

Graham will leave.

As long as we don't lose John McGinn it will be an incredible window.

It's a good looking squad right enough.

Does feel slightly light in Centre Midfield if anything:
I feel Martin isn't quite ready and McGeough, great as he is, can be expected to spend significant time on the treatment table.
Bartley is a player I like but I'm presuming his playing time will be fixture defined (big teams and some away fixtures).

So it's McGinn and Slivka and if you want to go three it's either Defensive Mid, Youngster or hoping McGeough is in play.

Can Fraser Murray slot in there too?

And before I get ripped for being negative it's great that that's the main problem I see :)

Whittaker can play in there with Gray and Stevenson as fullbacks. Crane and Martin are effectively third choice for their positions, hoping Whits is being used elsewhere.

I don't think we'll get another striker, not one of Rooneys calibre anyway. I'm quite happy with the quality of the 6? we have.

Whitty could slip into CM if needed, and although ive never seen him play there I dont see why Efe wouldn't be a great a DM/CM he is strong in the tackle, can beat a man (albeit with your heart in your mouth when its at CB) and likes to make a wee run forward, the more I think about it playing him in a deep sitting midfield role if required could be a masterstroke. Hanlon played there last season and I couldnt fault his performance and Stevenson started out in that position if it ever became critical. Also IF we do sign Commons when fit he might play a move sat back role around where McGeough is just now to start our play off as I imagine his legs and engine will not be enough to play an attacking midfield role for a sustainable period.

Incredible news, cheers to all the posters who shared info on this.

I must admit my faith wavered the last couple of days but so pleased to hear it's done (if not announced by the club).

What an incredible transfer window so far, with one or more hopefully still to come.

Apart from the quality of signings I've been impressed that we've been able to tie these players down to decent length contracts. No 6 month or even 1 year deals that just create uncertainty and instability. 2 years for Stokes and Ambrose, 3 for Whittaker and Silvka, 4 for Marciano etc. Shows real investment by the club and faith from the players that they are in the right place.

Can't wait for the season to begin!

Medical, it appears.
Usually,of course, a formality.
Would anyone like to guess how long it may be before he plays,given that most of his pre season seems to have been "social"?

If Hibernian open sections of the South for walk ups on Saturday,i fancy in the words of Scotty Boy Wilson

"Another full house!"

This is magnificent news. Stokes is a top, top player who would walk into any Scottish side bar Celtic (and even there he'd still do a good job). Hats off to Lennon and the clout he carries for putting together such an impressive squad this summer.

That's a few medicals now.

So we have SKY reporting a done deal last night which Kenny Millar confirms almost immediately.

Lenny seemingly confirms its done this morning yet a few hours later we're still waiting.

Cruel Hibs.......just cruel.

If Commons feels fit enough to sign we're going to have some squad :agree:

Maybe that's the reason for the delay - working on the perfect announcement video?


Films starts - it is dark, 3 seated figures in cowboy hats can be seen from behind. All is silent, other than the sound of crackling of flames from a fire. Camera moves round to see the faces of the 3 figures - John McGinn, Dylan McGeouch and David Gray's faces come into view and they appear to be toasting marshmallows on an open fire. Camera pans down though, to show that they are in fact toasting their marshmallows on Anthony Stokes who is lying peacefully on the ground in front of them. Camera cuts to Stokes' face, he smiles contentedly and drifts off to sleep and the film goes into a Scottish Cup final 2016 highlights dream sequence.

Just as David Gray's header hits the back of the net, Stokes wakes with a jolt. Camera is on Stokes' face as it gradually turns from bewilderment upon waking up to pure rage as he spots the figure several yards away.

James Tavernier, dressed as Elvis Presley, stands in front of them. In one hand he holds the boys' bag of marshmallows. He'd have taken the 2016 Scottish Cup too, but no matter what repulsive means Sevco stoop to, they're not getting their filthy mitts on that. Stokes immediately gets up and chases after Tavernier, who upon being noticed bursts into tears and 5hites his jumpsuit. As Stokes chases Tavernier into the distance, the camera cuts to darkness with the message -

To be continued - Ibrox Stadium, Saturday 12th August.




Hibs have special thanks for James Tavernier, who took time out of his busy schedule practicing defending corners to film this short piece.

And the quality of signing we can achieve when Hibs fans sign up for record numbers of Season Tickets. His signature will just add more to the gate ! ER might be a lock out this season.

Very happy with this. Proven quality who will bring the required goals. Superb :flag:

Hibs are missing a trick if they don't announce the signing with a video which includes his cup final goals and finishes with Stokesy in a Hibs shirt with flames behind him

I should be on the Hibs marketing team....

Maybe tHey'll release the announcement of the signing of Stokes at the same time as the club statement re the SC ruling. Would be a great squirrel.

Seen the video of him at Edinburgh airport arriving, id imagine by now he will be on way to Easter Road, if not already there. Do the medical, sign dotted lines just in time for STV news tonight. Could be that famous 5pm announcement everyone goes on about!!

How long do people have left to buy a ST ? this could add a couple of hundred onto numbers if we haven't already gone past the deadline.

Buzzing, cracking signing. Looking forward to Saturday, possibly a Stokes Cameo off the bench as he tries to play catch up on fitness
