Seconded. One of the best football books around.

Just what I was thinking. I know the name not nothing about his style of play, goal scoring record etc. Hoping if he does join McLaren is still a possibility but doubt it.

Going by memory he used to score goals regularly in the championship. Not sure how he’s been doing recently.

Mostly sub appearances, but still a scoring Record of a goal every 2 and a half games.

[MWHIBBIES]

We do not need center backs. ''If Hanlon and McGregor are out''????

What if they aren't out and these new center backs have to sit on the bench all season? Efe, Hanlon, Daz and Porteous is more than enough. Whittaker is not going to be playing center back in games that matter.

Could it really be on?!?!
Next thing we know Reyes will sign as well!!

In all seriousness, I can only see us signing one of ALF or Jamie Mac. Very similar players, Getting both would give us great options upfront!!

Lennon had Le Fondre at Bolton so there could well be some truth to this one.

LENNY'S FOND Hibs boss Neil Lennon weighs up move for Bolton striker Adam Le Fondre
The 31-year-old previously worked with him during the Northern Irishman's stint at the Macron Stadium in 2015

HIBS boss Neil Lennon is weighing up a move for Bolton attacker Adam Le Fondre.

The 31-year-old previously worked with him during the Northern Irishman’s stint at the Macron Stadium in 2015.


Adam Le Fondre is wanted by Hibs

Lenny is looking to bolster his attacking options following the exits of Simon Murray and loan star Jamie Maclaren.

Former Reading, Cardiff and Wolves hitman Le Fondre scored seven times in 38 appearances last season.

And he would add huge experience to the Hibees frontline, with only Flo Kamberi and Oli Shaw as the club’s recognised strikers.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

In not sure im very fondre of him

[hfc rd]

I remember him being an absolute goal machine a couple of years ago. A lot of folk on here, including myself, were desperately hoping we signed him when he was at Rochdale/Rotherham.

I’ve not really seen him that much since that prolific period when he was banging in the goals. If we were to get that Adam Le Fondre, I’d be very happy. I’m unsure what he has been like since then.

It’s finally happening after all these years :hyper

[Tobias Funke]

What’s Jamie Cureton up to these days? Will we finally land him?:greengrin

[BegbieHSC]

The link between strikers and midfield was non existent tonight, and that was against fisherman. I’d seriously be pushing the boat out for Allan before next week - he really could make the difference. I know that may sound weird given we scored 12 in two games, but tbh it would have been more with a number 10. Scoring against the Greeks will definitely not be as easy.

I’d make him the priority if we were to only sign one before the tie. A striker would be my second priority, followed by a winger.

[Ozyhibby]

I hope not with le Fondre. He is on the decline now and I really don’t see him stopping that. I think it would be a mistake.

We don't need another centre back we need to figure out a formation that works for us with 4 and the back that still allows us to get forward the way 3 5 2 does.

Transfer wise I'd say we need attacking midfielder (called Scott Allan) and defensive ball carrying midfielder to hold the middle and support Allan and Mallan and another striker, they are the absolute must haves.

Ideally another player for the Barker position but if it comes at the expensive of someone top quality filling one of the above, I'd rather not. Similarly a 4th striker as back up is a should have, but not a must have. I'd definitely be looking at all of the above way before I started considering centre backs unless someone moves on.

Scored loads for Liverpool but shown up a bit at the World Cup, so I'd probably pass on him.

I agree, 3 at the back seems to be the way right now as it allows 2 strikers up top but I'm a fan of 4-3-3 which allows that same freedom of attack.

I'd say probably. They'd both command a fair wage. Whilst I still think if we did get J Mac, it'd have to be a loan for now. I can't see us getting ALF and him in the same window.

[Jones28]

Why? Blackpoolhibs and a couple others reply to plenty of my posts with the exact same counter arguement every time yet nobody has an issue with them repeating themselves. The real problem is that there’s posters on here who can’t deal with somebody questioning what’s going on rather than blindly happy clapping their way into a European exit. Having a different opinion to the clique is frowned upon.

Anyway, as I’ve said previously, put me on your ignore list. You can then enjoy Hibs.net in happy clapping bliss.

Your constant negativity is boring. There's no need to to post about how you feel we are not ready 20 times a day.

I don't think anyone is denying the fact we need more players in, you'd have to be blind not to see that. However what I and many others are confident in is the ability of this board and this management team to get the targets they're after. Signing players for the sake of it - Hearts this year, Rangers last year, us January 2012 - has been proven time and time again to get you nowhere.

My faith in the management to get the targets in the door is not changed by either last nights result or the news of targets not coming in.

We all know we need some fresh blood but I’d much rather we wait and get quality players who are registered in time to play for us.


We have signed permanent deals for our 2 main targets and that is a fantastic bit of business - yes we shipped 4 goals but missing 2 centre half’s?

Let’s be positive. We got through, we have a big game under the lights on Thursday whilst hearts are sweating over if they’re still in the league cup (55 and counting)

Hibs prepare for every transfer window well in advance so signings will happen. We as fans have to be patient.

I don’t want us signing 13 journeyman. 3-4 quality 1st team players is what we need.

Pretty much where I'm at, 2 quality recruits so far, early days for Bogdan, few more signings of a good calibare and we'll do at least as well as we done last year, potentially better of course.

I think we all agree that opinions are what makes message boards interesting. However, during the World Cup almost all of us got fed up with one pundit due to his constant negativity and whinging. If he did make a decent point I didn’t hear it as it was lost among his constant moaning and repeating himself. Others were bad but he was the worst by a long shot. Some folk said to switch the volume off but it means you miss out on the thread. Telling others to put you on ignore isn’t the solution, being more balanced is.

:agree: Had a knack of coming off the bench to score goals - all equalizers or winners too. He doesn't do much other than score, but it was his goals that won Reading the Championship in 2012.

I'm surprised he's only 31 too.

My only issue with Adam Le Fondre is that he takes the same path as Chris Dagnall. He scored barry loads down south, but never really cut the mustard up here.

What's wrong with Bartley for next week? (I thought he was poor last night but if fit and available no problem with him taking his space).

I thought for someone who wants to be playing more he should have been more 'professional' last night.. .maybe with the ease of the tie etc he was a bit casual/trying too much.

He's still something to offer us when we need his type :agree:

I don't think he's a holding midfielder.

A holding midfielder needs to be the one that takes the ball in and dictates the play.

Bartley is a defensive midfielder and an absolute battering ram of one at that, i don't think i'm doing him a dis-service by suggesting he's not a terrific footballer though.

That's my interpretation of a holding midfielder anyway.

I prefer signing players that are younger with a hunger to improve, not players who are on the wind down. Of course there are exceptions for real quality but I don’t think le fondre is one of those

[bingo70]

slivka?

I think he is the closest we currently have to that position.

Based on last season though i think there were times he found the game too fast and there were times he lost concentration/discipline. I also think Slivka is at his best making runs into the box.

[R'Albin]

slivka?

I see him playing filling the box to box role that's more similar to McGinn than McGeouch.

[ian cruise]

Wasn't my point, Ian Cruise said we took Dagnall from non league but he'd regularly played league 1 for a good few years. I'd take ALF in a heart beat, a proven striker at a good level.

Yeah, you are correct I totally had that one wrong. Was convinced he came from non league and we were hoping for a Jamie Vardy-esque find. I still think there's less risk associated with ALF than a Dagnall type signing but you never know in advance how a player will settle or fit in.

[Michael]

Agree with this. After 30 probably 90% of players just aren't interested.

[JackHibs]

Love the guy too. Total derby legend

[GloryGlory]

:agree: He's always been a very limited player, but then he was successful at a limited role of getting the ball and giving it to McGeouch, McGinn and, latterly, Allan to actually do something with it.

He has given terrific service, but really time to move on.

[cabbageandribs1875]

not sure what's going on with Marv, one of my favourites and(for me) first name on the team sheet for games v sellick/sevco/sparryheids but watched him when he played at falkirk in the development team tail-end of last season and he was very poor

Might just be as simple as age catching up with him. He's just turned 32 and they said last night this will be his 4th season with us, the position he plays is a very demanding role and requires a lot of energy and physicality, it couldn't last forever.

As has also been said his position is also a lot easier when he has a Dylan Mcgeouch or a Scott Allan beside him demanding the ball off him at every opportunity.

Long term I absolutely agree, was working on the assumption we will still have SJM and won't have brought anyone else in yet. Out of who we have available my prefer would be a, midfield trio of Slivka, McGinn, Mallan.

[Sean1875]

And yet only a few months ago folk were critisizing Lennon for not playing him against hearts......
And that game resulted in us getting beat so don't really see your point there. Bartley is a player that always seems to perform in the big games (especially Hearts), its his ability to play regularly and consistently throughout the season which is what's being questioned.

[Forza Fred]

Australia’s Fox Sports are quoting an agent for Mark Milligan...who played at the World Cup for Australia...as saying that there had been ‘an approach’ from Hibs, but Milligan had turned it down as he wants to go to England.

Seems strange to me as the ‘utility’ player turns 33 next month and is nearing the end of his career.

He’s currently without a club having played in the Middle East for most of last season.

Apparently he’s in discussions with Bolton, but isn’t happy with the money that they offered.

AS I say, I would be surprised if Hibs WERE interested in signing him....a few years ago, may have been an option, but not now...

[Smartie]

Agreed!

I think he has really struggled with the jump up. He’s looked lost at times in the big games.

Hibs legend, but not good enough if we want to go the next level.

I totally disagree.

Since he joined us he's been consistently excellent in our biggest games. If he has a fault it is his inability to provide enough of an attacking threat against weaker teams.

He was rubbish last night, but so were most of the team, and I've never been convinced by him in a game when we play three centre-halves.

[Lago]

Too old at 32 ? Plenty milage left in Marv.:agree:

He has massive limitations. Maybe a bit harsh on him.

Thought he was lost against Celtic a couple of times. Especially the semi final. The games at Tynie we never won when he was playing or won when he wasn’t. Beat the Huns at ibrox with him and without him and beat Hearts at home with him and without him.

Just think we should look for someone better.

The guy did score goals here in Scotland - 87 in 194 games is a pretty good ratio!

Salford must be splashing some cash.

Maybe Graham Alexander like Jack Ross using some Scottish connections ??

Says Rooney is on four grand per week. Thought he would have been on similar at Aberdeen.

Liverpool do that with all their loanees. That is why Celtic pulled out of taking the lad Wilson. It’s not a great deal. Barker done well for us last season but there is no way we could have guaranteed him a start every week. Sevco are mad for agreeing to this.

I’ve just been looking at their under 21 squad and there’s any number of players it could be.

Until we get more info out of Scouse there’s probably no much point guessing.

Phil Foden anyone ???

Only 18?
Never heard of him, how highly is he rated?

This boy would be my guess:

I was thinking this guy.......

Fodden is absolute class .. ran the show when England’s under 20s won World Cup last year . We can only dream .

Could be. I'd hope it was an attacking player though as we could do with another winger/forward for the Asteras games.

I think Scouse is at it and he knows its Barker :greengrin

[B.H.F.C]

Very highly. Got a genuine chance of making it.

Was in their squad last year and made quite a few appearances.

Not a chance we’d get him.

[Scouse Hibee]

Aye but you said that last time and now you’ve let it slip you know he’s a Man City player.

You’re hiding info Scouse and we’ll get it out of you.......

PM me

[flash]

PM me

Tell me this isn't another fake rumour.

[WoreTheGreen]

PM me

Anyone’s better than Theresa May

[hibbycraig]

Absolutely no chance of foden unfortunately. Rated highly by Pep. Played a fair few games at the tailend of the PL last season.

[Scouse Hibee]

Tell me this isn't another fake rumour.


Mate I am not in the habit of posting any rumours let alone fake ones, this information was given to me today, due to my 100% faith in the origin of the info I have absolutely no reason to doubt it, hence I decided to post it. I have no interest in posting bull****, and doubted whether I should disclose this for that reason alone of being accused. It is 100% posted in good faith by myself, if I am wrong then so is my contact which I very much doubt.

And he is away on tour with them in the states so not him I should think!

No worries. Just checking☺

This boy would be my guess:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Harrison_(footballer,_born_1996)

Actually sounds quite decent going by his stats,

[BegbieHSC]

This boy would be my guess:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Harrison_(footballer,_born_1996)

Actually, I’m no quite convinced by his stats at Middlesbrough. V. promising stats at New York City, but I’m no quite convinced about their level.

I've actually seen this guy before and thought he'd be a player worth considering if he ever became available. Number 1 pick in the MLS draft in 2016 and came second in the MLS Rookie Award. Would be a very good signing I'd think.

[calumhibee1]

The MLS is a decent enough level, better than the Scottish Premiership IMO.

Maybe wasnt as suited to the overly physical side of the english championship at Boro. Played with Lampard and David Villa at New York City and seems to have done really well there. Looks like a left footed winger/attacking midfielder.

the mls is probably better than our premier league

[PPZPOL]

Hibs players used to sneak off the bench (subs) into the changing rooms to check their phones during games under Butcher :agree:

Mind you, the football was that bad under that useless **** we were all on our phones during games rather than watching what was on the pitch :greengrin

Ryan McGivern used to check his phone during the game when he was playing I’m sure. In fact he was on FaceTime when he passed the ball straight to that Hamilton boy in the playoff.

[BegbieHSC]

Fair enough. Left sided winger as has been mentioned, and I am optimistic going by the fact that he was the number 1 draft player in 2016, and City had a desire to bring him over, so maybe I’m being overly harsh on the MLS. Could be good.

[Lmc2105]

Only city youngster I can think off is 21 year old CM Chidiebere Nwakali who was in loan at Aberdeen last season.

Except it's not him.

Oooohh. Have you had a PM?

I reckon he would be good if it's him. Fingers crossed! Although I'm more keeping my fingers and toes crossed for Phil Foden :greengrin

I believe you. Here's hoping a deal's been done and is announced in the next day or two.

[flash]

Nah just checked Man City website and he is in America with them.

[BegbieHSC]

FS 😂.

Gotta be Leroy Sane then - maybe his snub by the national team has devalued him to city 😉😉

Was he any good for them? Remember him signing but can’t remember him playing?

[Lmc2105]

Only got a couple of appearances as far as I remember mate he was liked by what they saw in glimpses going by fan responses

Four appearances

Looking at players that follow a similar path to Barker I think it could be Thierry Ambrose.

Forward on loan at NAC Breda last season. Checked and he isn’t away on tour with Man City just now either.
