I think he likes to be cryptic and get people guessing. Probably didn't want Jamie Mac getting all the attention.

Agreed. Its not the first time he has posted something like this on social media since going back to man city.

[hibsbollah]

McLaren and Barker would be too much to handle..💚

I just can't believe it could be possible... Financially I thought it was out of the question.

[The Pointer]

I’d have an orgasm. And it would be the first football-related one since that third goal on Thursday.

Har, har, har.... Know what you're saying.

Wonder if it will be permanent?

[Unseen work]

Is the Barker rumours just because his Instagram post?

Where would he even play? I think we will play a 352 this season which doesn’t suit him

[The Spaceman]

Maclaren is the most important next signing we could make. Feel anything after him is a "bonus". Scott Allan and/or Brandon Barker would also be mega, but we might just be covered in midfield?

Having been linked with at least 4 different left wingers this summer, I’d imagine Lennon has plans to utilise a system with a left winger

Boyle, Swanson, McGinn, Slivka, Mallan, Bartley plus the young Murrays is a decent midfield. Don't get me wrong I definitely want reinforcements too, but we absolutely need another striker!

I very much doubt that we'll be playing the same formation every minute this season

Also didn't Barker start in a 352 at Ibrox last season?

You’re right but you would think Barker would be coming in as a starter which would mean a change of formation.

I can’t see what formation gets Barker, Mallan, Kamberi and MacLaren in the same team.

Can’t recall exactly but it would have been behind the striker if he was.

We played a 3-5-1-1/5-4-1, Barker done his hammy early on and had to be swapped for Maclaren and we then changed to 3-5-2.

I was sceptical about getting Allan back in January but safe to say he won me over.

I was so impressed by some of the link up play with him and Kamberi at the end of last season that I'm desperate to see him back. If McLaren does happen Scotty would be next on my list. Barker would be nice but to me he's not a 'first name on the teamsheet' type player like McLaren or Allan would be.

Like others here - for me Allan was top of the signing requirements.

He's the guy who makes us play and, more importantly, it's difficult imo to imagine us having a player better than Allan regardless of how much we spent on them. Certainly difficult to imagine without that player being wildly inconsistent.

Allan is needed right now not only for cover but integral to the way we play. Jamie Mac apparently now coming. We could perhaps do with a quick left sided winger but could be deemed a luxury or impact player. Defence needs to be tightened up Greg Docherty might be an option as like Daz is surplus to requirements at The Rangers. I don’t know what other posters feel but I am still not happy with the goalkeeping position imo none of the incumbents seem comfortable might be worth trawling the lower leagues for a decent reliable keeper.

[DetroitHibs]

Not saying Allan wouldn't improve us, he definitely would. I just think we need two good forwards first. One to start with Flo and another for the bench.

I get where your coming from. We only have Kamberi and Shaw upstairs front just now. If Kamberi suffered a bad injury we'd be in real trouble whereas our midfield is still strong without Allan. Both our priorities IMO but McLaren first just because we are so light in that area.

Best case scenario for me:

McGinn to Celtic, £1.5m net cash for us after St Mirren get their due
Allan released by Celtic, signs for us on 3 year deal
MacLaren signed on a permanent - a guesstimate of £350k of the McGinn money
Barker returns on loan
1 further forward needed

Ambrose / Gray
McGregor / Porteous
Hanlon

Stevenson / Barker
Mallan / Whittaker
Slivka / Bartley
Boyle

Nothing from the club that I’ve seen that he is signing but they are trying to upgrade their striking options after their main striker was punted to Japan.

One thing I think could scupper a Victory deal bringing Jamie back to his home town, is that Oz operates under a salary cap, and reportedly their options in getting him and staying within the salary cap means that a couple of other high earners may have to drop money.

No probs with Victory being able to afford Jamie..’s wages, but they don’t usually pay transfer fees, and the salary cap issue is a big one.

We undoubtedly need strikers but the 15 goals are misleading with 12 against part time dross.

The reason I think we need Allan is when there's an organised defense up against us that needs to be unlocked.
There are few good strikers that unlock defenses on their own (Griffiths being a notable exception).
Certainly very few in our price bracket.

We spent a long, long time looking like a very good football team who struggled to turn dominating play into goals and the points that come with those goals.
We've been improving gradually but the return of Scott Allan improved us dramatically. He's the guy who can pick apart any defense.

For all the plaudits heaped upon Kamberi and MacLaren (and both are good players) I think a lot of what they did is down to Allan both in terms of direct assists and the fact that his play changes the available space in the attacking third - the fact he can go anywhere with his passing makes any player in front of him a goal threat and changes how the other team defend.

Although I'd agree Simon Murray wasn't the type of player to take us forward I still think he'd have scored goals playing in front of Allan.
Not as many as a Kamberi or MacLaren in front of Allan but I strongly suspect more goals than they'd have managed playing in front of a significant downgrade to Allan.

[adhibs]

Let’s say it all happened. Barker, Allan and Gash with a tash all got signed.

By having goals in the team from the start rather than January.

Well if the team that played the second half of the season had been in place since August 17’ , we’d have comfortably finished 2nd going by the stats. I don’t believe Mallan is a level below McGeough, so comparing the team at the start of 17/18, and with the squad we potentially could have, we would be stronger.

[sean04]

By having goals in the team from the start rather than January.

Another 2 strikers( macca +1) winger( barker) and poss another midfielder then things will be very exciting. I think Boyle will add more goals to his game this year. Think centre half will get more goals due to mallans set piece delivery. Mallans free kicks around the box. Flos goals. Think we will be better rounded as a attacking force. We forced countless corners and free kicks in good areas last year and hardly made anything of them. At times doing that silly short corner and losing the ball. Now we can get the big lads up and mallan can stick all ball with attack me writing all over it

Not as many as a Kamberi or MacLaren in front of Allan but I strongly suspect more goals than they'd have managed playing in front of a significant downgrade to Allan.

I think the game that summed up the first half of last season was Hibs 1 Rangers 2 in December,

We pummelled Rangers, lost 2 stupid goals (Wtf was the defence backing off for, wtf was Rocky doing with his near post) then Simon Murray proceeded to fresh air a few chances in the 6 yard box (the type Maclaren went on to score in the same fixture in May)

Throw in an incredible refereeing decision (the Bates handball that was no penalty apparently) and you have the highly entertaining but crazy first half of the season in a nutshell.

By May, Jamie Maclaren bagged a hat trick of similar chances to those Simon Murray missed in December

Don't get me wrong, I would love to see Scott Allan back, and hope/think it will happen.

But a poacher is needed, and we saw that in the first half v Asteris Tripolis...2-0 down from a first half when we could have been 2-0 up with better finishing.

[The Sundance Kid]

Sun now running with the Maclaren to Melbourne Victory story, however, does look like it's mainly just regurgitated the same stuff from the Australian article from this morning

[MrSmith]

Just a thought ... does anyone see the similarities between Allan and Henderson re transfer to us? I just get the feeling the Allan transfer will drag on and out without anything happening. I think he will end up elsewhere like Henderson.

My view is, the Allan transfer should’ve been wrapped up and delivered before negotiations began re McGinn. I think we have lost our way on this. Overly happy to be wrong and feel completely stupid.

It definitely is. They’ve just picked up the story from that podcast. Could be true, but I’m not sure how reliable they are. As someone has said elsewhere, couple of Aussie journalists seem certain he won’t return to Australia.

[blackpoolhibs]

I think we need another defensive type midfielder before we sign Allan, if we even need Allan?

A wide player and a forward too, with Mallan quite capable of providing the same type of play Allan did last season.

Obviously i'd like Allan back, but i think we need other places filled before we make Allan our first priority.

:agree: I think it makes both transfers too complicated. Far better doing them individually, IMO. FWIW, I think the longer the delay in either transfer happening, the less likely they will.

I think Allan will be one that will be completed towards the end of the window and dependant on who Celtic sign.

We've got enough in midfield at the moment to cope without him until the end of August and seem willing to play the waiting game to see if Celtic will release him.

I think that is right we need a defensive minded centre mid who can control the tempo of the game someone of the Bitton mound who can cover for the more forward going midfielders.

[southern hibby]

Let’s say it all happened. Barker, Allan and Gash with a tash all got signed.

We then have Mallan rather than Dylan from last year.

How will we have strengthened?


I’d say we’ve strengthened by having players who fit this club HAVE proved that they can do it for Hibs ( obviously the players here last season ) and have gelled already and fit together in the team rather well.

We have lost McGeough and that is a big loss however we have a dead ball specialist in Mallan which is a vast improvement on last year.

Should have added that I still think we need a few players in and hopefully the fit the team As well as the ones who may come back

Last Thursday Boyle played up front and is clearly not the the answer there. With him playing there we were hampered in the striking area and also lost our pacy winger due to his switch. In my mind this makes at least one more striker THE number one priority and get Boyle back down the right wing.

[JeMeSouviens]

Well if the team that played the second half of the season had been in place since August 17’ , we’d have comfortably finished 2nd going by the stats. I don’t believe Mallan is a level below McGeough, so comparing the team at the start of 17/18, and with the squad we potentially could have, we would be stronger.

Notwithstanding I've only seen him live once but I think he is in terms of ability to control the tempo and do the defensive side. He does add goals though, so hopefully it evens out.

Mallan is nothing like Dylan in playing style

[erin go bragh]

Hibs are in talks with Huddersfield over a loan deal for striker Jordy Hiwula. Player seemigly keen on move but also has other offers to stay in England. Highly rated.

Teeeted by Hibs transfer news . Could be the premiership striker that was rumoured. Could be a pile of Hearts too though.

Incredible as it may sound, Victory are reportedly paying Honda $1.3m and the FFA are picking up the other $1.6m. Imagine The Rangers signing Cristiano Ronaldo with the SPL agreeing to pay 60% of his salary.

Wow, bet the other teams are pleased with that.

The official line that will come out, if anyone ever asks, will probably be "good for the league to have players of that quality", "raises the profile of the A-league, which benefits all of us" yada yada yada. In theory the fund to cover these payments is available to anyone, but Melbourne Victory and Sydney FC are by far the biggest clubs in the country and, therefore, the most attractive to quality imports, hence Del Piero playing for Sydney a couple of seasons ago.

How confident are you with your sources mate?

Hiwula is a weird one, 24 this year and has never played for Huddersfield. Constantly goes out on loan so maybe needs to settle somewhere.

Dowell just had a very good season for Forrest so I’d be surprised if he came to us, also he is another attacking midfielder.

Everton would be a cracking move for John McGinn

Confident of the first source,

However few offers from League 1 teams to get him on perm however agent rather a loan and that's what hibs are offering. Guessing decent wage he's on .

Regards Mcginn, not as confident, nothing concrete in the offer. Not the only prem/ champ team that are interested. However only team offering decent loan player just like Celtic with SA but there not wanting to pay 3

[CB_NO3]

This thread has went proper silly. Social media has created 100 clueless agents that think they have a clue.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Just spoke to a Terriers fan I know, Hiwula is a decent player but has never played for HTFC, says he is more of a winger than a striker, says his finishing is not up to EPL standard but he is fast and a good tricky player. Does well when he goes out on loan, played well for Fleetwood last season. He hasn't heard anything about this loan, but he does say he will be going back out on loan this season, he just doesn't know who to.

While I wouldn't let them hold us to ransom I would also hate to see us without Allan struggling to break down defenses and I'd prefer to get slightly stiffed on SA's transfer than to drop points but get one over on them with a pre-contract.

For anyone to think we are 'scraping the barrel' surely hasn't watched the transfer window /deadline day video they did with GM and GC and the hard work that goes on behind the scenes months before each window in player identification (and development when they are with us).

We've signed arguably our best striker last season on a permanent deal, a young Scottish talent who already has shown his talent and prowess at set pieces, and an EPL goalkeeper from a Champions League final side - quite liking the barrel we seem to be digging around to be quite frank :greengrin

I think we'll see movement in the next 14 days and we will all be pleasantly surprised. I still think a great deal is depending on SJM moving. But give me the transfer activity we've had these last 3 seasons rather than the likes of Joe Keenan, Michael Hart, Junior Agogo, Michael Nelson and Daniel Boateng any day of the week..........now that's a very very deep barrel to be delving around :agree:

[Tyler Durden]

Mallan is nothing like Dylan in playing style

Maybe so but he did very well playing a similar role to Dylan in the 2nd half last Thursday. Taking the ball and moving it on, keeping us at a high tempo.

Neil Lennon himself quoted on BBC after the game saying they never saw him playing that deep role but were impressed how well he did it.

[Tug Wilson]

Only if every other league follows suit
They can’t buy any players after 9th August, but their european rivals can

I understand that they will still be able to loan players up until the end of August. Be interesting to see what happens after 9 August. Lots of dodgy loan deals that are pretty much transfers.

Pack it in, he's no jambo I can assure you.

:angelic: I was merely making an observation that he had an odd user name (especially if he's a bit of a troller)

:whistle:

[Borderhibbie76]

If he's not a jambo he's definitely trolling.

Inflammatory ***** like "Scraping the barrel time it seems we’ve missed out on our first choice targets" without being able to name a single player we had targeted at another club that has signed for someone else.

If what he means is he's disappointed by the lack of transfers then say that. This is carefully worded to elicit a reaction and is exactly the kind of rank pish this place needs less of.Well said that man [emoji106]

Oooh friend.

I'd have thought Mallan would be high on the list too.

I was going to include him but I was thinking the priority was probably to get those 3 that were proven to be successful back on board. If I include Mallan it only reinforces my point

[SChibs]

Is there anything in the Maclaren going back to Oz rumour? Seems a strange move for him I thought he would at least move to England if not back to Hibs. Not sure how much the Aussie clubs pay but the lifestyle must be decent down there

Can't see it

My thoughts top, would be a backwards move for him imo

[J-C]

Maybe so but he did very well playing a similar role to Dylan in the 2nd half last Thursday. Taking the ball and moving it on, keeping us at a high tempo.

Neil Lennon himself quoted on BBC after the game saying they never saw him playing that deep role but were impressed how well he did it.

Malian is a good all round midfielder and like Slivka can play deep or further forward, I think Lennon is looking for players like this that can slot into whatever midfield position needed. McGinn is a perfect example of this, he can drive forward in attacking mode or sit deeper and defend when needed.

There’s plenty folk had a bite. Comments like that are best ignored.

[SirDavidsNapper]

It does, I wonder if it is because of the world cup. All it takes is a few moves and the chain reaction starts.

Yeah i think you could be right

[SirDavidsNapper]

See two of their most promising youngsters in the world, have been loaned out.

Sky "Andrew Irving has joined Falkirk for six months, while Euan Henderson has signed for Ladbrokes League One side Montrose on a similar deal.


Hearts, Falkirk, Montrose treble for their leagues then? I'm on my way to the bookies now. No brainer.

[BSEJVT]

Will be good experience for them. I'm be more concerned that our under 20s are a couple of years older than the main Hearts youngsters and have significantly less first team experience at any level.

I would be more concerned that we were so badly mismanaged that we were forced to play young boys in the first team a long time before they were ready to do so, simply because there were no other options.

In doing so ruining those boys who were then deemed no longer good enough to be part of the first team squad and were sent out on loan as a likely precursor to their being freed at the end of their deals.

Do the names, Booth, Handling, Stanton, Harris & Caldwell to name but 5 ring any bells?

[Paloschi]

Don't mean to set anyone off but they are playing return of the Mac on the radio.... between 20:18 and 20:19 👀

[Jack Hackett]

tbf (:sick:), they've a good record for bringing through youngsters... though it's more because they've had to. Started when they were forced to play them before they were relegated, and that SPL experience was crucial in the Championship. Since then they've had to use them to cover for the various donkeys they found on ebay.

[MB62]

as cat says, time will tell, confident of the loanee as arriving for medical on wed, regarding Mcginn different source I have maybe 70% trust in him

Would have thought our medical staff would be with the team in Greece?

[GreenOnions]

They want it shut before the season starts.

A sudden outbreak of common sense :agree:

[BILLYHIBS]

Everything , rumours seem to have gone quiet since the boys flew out. If the worst happens say we get knocked out expect everything to kick off !

Do our medical team do them? Or do they outsource them?

[davcar]

Even though I'm checking constantly I don't expect to hear anything before the game on Thursday but we will hear prior to Sunday of at least one complete deal

[Cheshire Hibee]

Just picked this up on Twitter !!!

Hibs should officially confirm the signing of Man City winger Thomas Agyepong once they secure a work permit, which they are confident of doing. It’s taken longer than expected. A reminder, that Agyepong passed a medical last week. NL wants him in squad for Sunday.
