Report in the sun claims Mowbray looking at PH.

He's far better than England's League 1 on current form.

If Paul Hanlon ever leaves Hibs, he should not be moving to England's League One.

He is good enough for the Championship at the very least.

Paul was an U21 Scotland captain but has been at Hibs through a turgid time at the club where his talent stalled for a bit, he's now showing the talent that was evident and a full squad call up would be totally justified.

Re McGinn and Villa, well he is hot property right now and it may be a struggle to keep him if 2-3 clubs down south start bidding for him, I think we all agree we expect him to leave at some point, we just hope it's the end of the season.

I still think Efe might go in January, we were able to sign his because he needed more time here to gain his residency passport, which is what stopped his move south when at Celtic, he gains that in January, so there may be a gentlemen's agreement that if an offer came in we'd let him go, he did drop a fair bit of wages to sign for us, just a hunch.

He has to feel right about the club he's at and he's currently raving about all things Hibs.

It's a nice dilemma for us. Efe is the better footballer, Darren offers solidity and commitment.

As for Hanlon, it wouldn't surprise me if we got offers for him. He's a very good player. I do think he can do better than League 1 though and he's a smart lad, if he did want to leave Hibs it'll not be for Blackburn.

Not for me. Efe has been very good recently and would deserve to keep his place in the squad alongside Hanlon.

Its a great dilema. I think Ive changed my opinion about three or four times already this season about best centre back pairing. I think when Daz is fit hes going to have to wait his time, there is no reason, other than altering the formation, to change the current pairing that is currently functioning very well. We have great competition for places across the back.

I think £3m with a sell-on clause will be enough for us to let him go

I'd have said that a few weeks ago.

But the defence have settled now and Efe is playing well. When McGregor is back the only way I can see him getting back in is if we go to a three. Lennon won't drop Efe IMO.

Would SJM flourish better remaining at Hibs, going to Celtic or moving South say to the likes of Forest or Villa who have had reported interest? Personally I think from his own point of view it would probably be a move to Celtic, I'd like to say stay at Hibs but from Johns point of view I think thats just me wishful thinking. A couple of seasons at Celtic and he would still have plenty of time to try his look down south and IMO be better equipped to be a success.

Get use to it folks, as Lennon improves the team & performance so the rumours will increase & the players move on. Over the years I've seen many go, Stein, Gordon & Bobby Smith, Blackley, Brownlie, Bremner, Stanton, the twins, Murray etc etc so what will be will be, I've learned to enjoy the players when they are at ER & wish them well.

Not sure Sammy, Browns coming to the end of his career now and I do actually believe he could be a regular in their team, hes improving and will improve more. I think, given half a season or so and i think he could well be a regular in their team.

Seems we have a real penchant here to off load players mid- season if we read somewhere another club is interested in our players. Like any player especially at Hibs, if the price is right for the club they will go.
So the next window, we can say goodbye to Mcginn, Hanlon and Efe. ? Way to early to start worrying. A loss at Killie on Tuesday would change the tone I am sure. Best situation is a settled team until next season
with Hibs getting the market price for the players. That needs a little help from agents and player. All 3 named could easily handle the Championship with mcginn maybe the most likey to have a shot at the Premier if
he keeps developing but that might mean Championship first then premier. Season is looking OK , let's not worry to much about when and how much. LD and NL are well equipped to think that out.

I tend to agree but for me it's a case of try it and see. We've tried numerous players over the last few years (Hanley, Martin, Berra, Mulgrew and Greer) with no lasting success. I'm not saying PH is better but is he any worse?

It was just a feeling I got when he signed, his wage at Celtic would be a hell of a lot more than what he's on here, yes he might be enjoying himself at Hibs but he only needs to stay in Scotland till January to get his residency visa and maybe the contract here was tempting enough so he can get his visa. I hope he stays longer as he's been playing well recently but like a lot of our better players the chances increase that offers will come in for them.

Not so sure that Hanlon would see a move to Blackburn as a massive step up, though no doubt the money would be better ... there's also no doubt he would easily cope with the EFL 2nd tier.

John McGinn is an entirely different matter, he is 23 now and entering the height of his career as a midfield player. The prospect of Nottingham Forest might not exactly have floated his boat enough for him to be disgruntled at Hibs telling them to bolt, but Aston Villa are quite a different prospect. They are a huge club who have underperformed for the last few decades .. but at the moment they are only 7 points from the top of the championship and without doubt have everything they need to be a fixture in the bottom half of the EPL with the right investment, that would have to make any approach very tempting for him.

He also has to look at his bank balance. He has served Hibs well, but what would he earn at Aston Villa? ... somewhere between 10 and 15 thousand quid a week I would imagine. SJM might not go in January, but its highly unlikely IMO that we will hold onto him after the summer, our biggest hope has to be that Villa ( if their rumoured interest is true ) are joined by at least two other clubs sparking a bidding war .. were that to happen 4 million quid might be far from fanciful.

If we can get SJM on a new contract with a sizeable release cause I'd be delighted. If not then he goes for a smaller sum but with my best wishes for obvious reasons.

No point deluding yourself thinking he's going to stay at Hibs on a whim when honestly the best thing for his career will be to move to a club that can offer him a higher level of football, income and exposure. He will by the end of the season be onto a new club I'd imagine, with us getting ourselves a good fee and being able to hark on about him being a hibee when he's playing EPL regularly worth £10m-£20m.

Nobody wants McGinn or our other talented players to move on, but it's how it goes in life. People move onto bigger jobs/companies etc all the time.
