I want Allan back more than anyone but unless we're after two midfield players I can't see him being one of them. Surely has to be a player in the ilk of Kamara or Mulumbu.

[Tyler Durden]

We desperately need more energy in the middle of the park and that should be our next target. Marv does his thing but it is only in defense and he looks wrecked after an hour as does Slivka. Mallan works away but again doesn't cover the ground and tends to run out of steam too. McGinn was badly missed tonight particularly when they were knocking it about and we weren't getting close to them. Not sure we need another winger when we don't really play with them

I think Lennons words were “wide player” rather than winger. We need another left sided player to give Lewis competition. If he were to get injured we are relying on Whittaker coming in. There are no left footers.

[BSEJVT]

I wouldn’t say no Scott Allan but don’t think he and Mallan could play in the same midfield

Mallan is great going forward but at this stage looks suspect defensively and allows players to run off him far too easily and doesn’t get about the park as well as I would like.

He may well improve as he gets fitter or with coaching but isn’t great at present IMO

Although Slivka has a better ability to get up and down the park, he always seems to arrive a fraction late to make the tackle but is again accomplished going forward

Another one struggling to last a full game

IMO this leaves us light pressing the ball

If our formation was 3-5-2 it was scary how much time they had on the ball in midfield although to be fair they didn’t hurt us that much

If we are looking for midfield replacements I would hope that amongst them would be a ball winning midfielder.

If Lewy got injured I'd have no hesitation in putting in Mackie who seems to have really come on leaps and bounds last season and in pre-season.

Hanlon can step into the left back slot too if required. It's why I reckon Hayes is a potential target as I'm sure he was deployed as a wing back / full back at Aberdeen with some success for a period of games and also Rodgers mentioned that role when he signed for Celtic.

Liked your idea of Taylor from Killie :aok: mind, Jordan Jones would be an excellent addition if we had some SJM money to spend on a sizeable fee - think he's only got a year to run on his contact too.

[calumhibee1]

:confused:
Whats changed that you are disappointed in £3m when you would have been happy with £2m plus Allan?

Because we don’t have Allan? Do you make notes of my posts and follow me around on this btw? My posts seem far too relevant to you if you remember me posting that. Probably got a wee notepad that you jot it all down on.

Sent from my SM-G950F using TapatalkIf we are only after 1 more midfielder I could almost guarantee it won't be Allan. We need someone with a bit of energy and physicality...think the Hyndman signing rules out Allan till at least Jan tbh

Hyndmann is Allan short term.
We are desperately needing a powerful all action midfielder to do the McGinn thing now.

Aye I would think he will be, at least until January. Priority now needs to be a powerhouse like you said. Still hoping for Mulumbu, no idea if it would be feasible.

Not sure there is actually anything in the Mulumbu one feels
More of a fans more in hope than him being out top target. Would happily be wrong as I thought he was good at killi.

More I see of the lad Kamara at Dundee I feel he would be a great investment price depending

Mulumbu is exactly the kind we're missing. Someone who hunts the ball down and wants to make tackles and win second balls. Him and Mcginn had a few good battles last season and he'd be an absolutely superb signing for us.

Can't see it either though. Think we'll go for the younger type that we can hopefully move on in a few years.

[Greenworld]

Kamara ticks the boxes now the English window is closed his price will have dropped to something more affordable. 400k - 500k would maybe get him but I don't know if we would pay that.

Have heard we have spoken to Dundee not sure if there is much in it

As much as I think Danny Swanson is a great option for us, I wonder if we might offer him as a part exchange for Kamara, plus money and sell on.

Maybe Lawwell really has spat the dummy and is refusing to talk to us about SA.

[Springbank]

Think Mulumbu/Kamara would be massively appreciated in a Neil Lennon team - being asked to go do your part of the job, knowing that when you recycle the ball there are goals galore in front of you, and the reassurance of big Daz, Hanlon, Gray, Stevenson who've got your back as well

[JeMeSouviens]

What about Kyle Magennis from St Mirren? Haven't seen much of him myself but St Mirren colleague reckons he's their next big thing. Maybe they'd go for a repeat of the McGinn terms?

I think we could do worse than approach Motherwell about Alan Campbell, he's a tenacious lad who already looks like he has a bit of quality about him. He has 3 years on his contract though so I don't know if they'd do any business, maybe if we offered them a player plus cash deal.

I think that the priority has to be a strong central midfielder. I felt that the Bartley, Slivka and Mallan trio was a bit imbalanced. Seemed stretched at times but that might have been the quality of the opposition. Be interesting to see them against SPL teams. Think it works well against teams like Motherwell but would struggle against the better sides.

I felt that the Slivka, Mallan and Hyndman trio was more dynamic. Emerson does look like a player. Skillful and quick. However, that midfield 3 does seem a bit lightweight.

A player like Glen Kamara or Youssouf Mulumbu would fit the bill. Doesn't necessarily have to be one of them but they are known packages who have SPL experience. I am sure that the Recruitment Department have a list of decent suggestions for Lennon to consider and that we have made some progress with at least a couple of these.

It certainly wont come around for a long time if we are willing to sacrifice league points.

We have only played a handful of games so I'm at a loss as to how fatigue kicks in. Injuries can happen anytime so also shouldn't be used as an excuse to rest players.

[My_Wife_Camille]

They knocked back over a million for him in January
He only signed in february and the bid was rejected in April. The only reason the bid was rejected, and so high in the first place, is because it was outside the transfer window so they wouldn’t have been able to replace him.

If he goes during the sunmer it wont be for anything near what was previously offered.

Yeah but surly your objective in the league is to realistically qualify for Europe, so ultimately to get to the stage we are at on Thursday so would be crazy not to priorities that? We have a good opportunity this season in Europe we must grasp it. Plenty league games left to gain the required points, all or nothing Thursday tho

Agree with that to an extent, I just think the players are capable of playing twice a week at this stage. If it was the middle of December and we were 20 games in then maybe a different story, but not yet surely.

Some ***** being spouted on here about Marv

Totally agree he has been excellent in the last 2 games and no coincidence that we have had 2 clean sheets. Can see him being rested tomorrow however will imo definitely be needed for return leg when we need to be very strong defensively.

[JimBHibees]

Great assessment. Marv lacks mobility and fitness hence why he sits so deep. Always blowing at 60 mins. He’s far too muscle bound for a footballer

What a crock that is.

It’s not the stage of the season that is the problem. Even the fittest players in the world need three rest days between games or performance dips. There are tons of studies on it.
The more we can rest players before Thursday the better.

A signing today and a signing tomorrow 😊

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

It certainly wont come around for a long time if we are willing to sacrifice league points.

We have only played a handful of games so I'm at a loss as to how fatigue kicks in. Injuries can happen anytime so also shouldn't be used as an excuse to rest players.

Important we get off to a strong start this season. Strongest team should play for me.

Yeah, fair points mate! It's a bit chicken and egg I suppose.

[Jones28]

He only signed in february and the bid was rejected in April. The only reason the bid was rejected, and so high in the first place, is because it was outside the transfer window so they wouldn’t have been able to replace him.

If he goes during the sunmer it wont be for anything near what was previously offered.

Didn't realise that, cheers 👍

My cousin from Preston who is a ST holder at Deepdale says he’s a very fast, direct player who runs at defenders. Likes to take his full back on and swing in a cross or hit an attempt at target. He was quite gutted to see him go as believes there is a real good player in there and he just needs a good run of games and confidence from the management and fans. With the way we play, he should do well.

Good point , his chances of getting in the midfield this season will be slim . Would do him good to go out on loan , defo a player in there

[Souter96Mac]

That'd be some deal if we pulled that off. Martin has looked alright when he's played, a tenacious young midfielder, but as each season passes, he seemingly doesn't have the ability to step into the first team as a regular. Kamara would fit the bill.

[badabing67]

That would be excellent!

Don't like that idea I think we should keep Martin I think he could be a prospect. He is still young y hough with the players coming it's looking much harder for the development guys to break through. If that happened I think in a couple of years we'll end up buying him back

Martin is 21 and not really close to the first team. Don’t think he can really be seen as a pretty spect any more.

That's only a year younger than Mallan and Hyndman for comparison.

I think if he was going to force himself into the first team he would have needed to be doing that by the time he was 19/20 like Porteous and Shaw are doing just now.

“There were admiring glances coming our way but I am so happy that he is here, although I’d prefer him to be on the pitch instead of injured!
“We may have to fend off some more interest in future but I have always been clear that I want to keep my best players if possible.”
Kamara has been to see a specialist regarding his ankle problem and McCann was happy with the outcome.
He said: “Glen will be missing again (against Aberdeen) because he got a wee bit of a setback in training.

He's just what we need in our midfield :agree:

[Leith Green]

Reading between the lines , could kamara be out because he is on his way out? 🤔

[Ronniekirk]

I'm beginning to think Swanny isnt in Lenny's plans. I thought he would have made an appearance in the Motherwell game. If he's not involved in the St Johnstone game I think he will be away by the end of the window.

Have said it for a while It's clear he isn't in Lennons plans so best for both parties that he moves on He can reserve t his career and we can bring in another midfielder who will be fighting for first team place

[Bishop Hibee]

Scott Allan is class but with the more forward minded midfielders we have, I don’t think we’ll sign him. We need a defensive midfielder who can link the defence and midfield. Get a player like this in and the squad is complete.

[SHODAN]

If Kamara signs then that'll be us for the window surely? Unless we try and get Allan at the end of the month.

[Leith Green]

So if we do bring in kamara , then we would have bartley , slivka , murray , mallan , hyndman , kamara as our central midfielders ... assuming martin and swanson do leave .. Thats a good squad of midfielders. We then have Boyle Agyepong and Horgan out wide. Its up front I still think we are one short with McLaren Kamberi and Shaw

I have been thinking this too for a while, we've more than enough forward thinking midfielders at the club, and priority must be a more defensive one first.

Dont get me wrong, i'd love him back, but i think this may not be until January, but this club keep surprising me these days, and we could get him plus a more defensive midfielder, a defender and another centre forward. :greengrin

Any striker we sign is only going to be a back-up to replace Murray. Lewis Allan is in the squad while Boyle has already shown he can be an effective striker alongside Kamberi when needed

If I'm watching a player, I don't need to look at apps on my phone to decide if a player is good, bad or indifferent. I'll form an opinion based on what he can do, or not do. Stats are for the hard of thinking. Or, in football terms, a tool used by people pretending they know things, and been places.

I understand what you are trying to say here, i don't like him receiving the ball with his back to goal deep in our half.

I think he's quickly shut down, and does not move the ball on quickly enough AT TIMES.

Facing the ball and closing down, tackling and winning us the ball, he very good at, he does a great job protecting the defence.

He's a good member of the squad, would i like someone better, of course i would, just as i'd like that for every player we have.

[madhatter]

Bartley is our best ball winning midfielder by a mile. He puts in a lot of running so saying he can’t move around much is a bit unfair. However, I do agree he is a player that struggles to see out 90mins, he tires badly in the last 20mins especially. I remember more than once we’ve attempted to counter attack, lost the ball and Bartley was our deepest player as he was clearly hoping to catch his breath.

Bartley is still a good shout in most games where we need a bit of muscle. Great player to have around the club.

I’d imagine Swanson, Martin will be heading out the door permanently. Murray will likely head out on loan as well. Only way I’d let Bartley leave is if we get both Mulumbu and Kamara. Otherwise he stays!

[joe_hfc]

So our midfielders are Horgan, Hyndman, Mallan, Swanson, Boyle, Slivka and Bartley. Either Bartley will play a big part this season, we’ll sign another DM, or we’re doing the Kevan Keegan tactic of attack is the best form of defence. Bartley’s cover, Whittaker, is cover for this role and all the back 4 too so I think we’re light anyway... hopefully another
DM to come in as cover or 1st choice. Mulumbu would be perfect imo. Don’t think there’s space for Allan anymore - maybe in Jan once Hyndman goes back down south

Bartley is our best ball winning midfielder by a mile. He puts in a lot of running so saying he can’t move around much is a bit unfair. However, I do agree he is a player that struggles to see out 90mins, he tires badly in the last 20mins especially. I remember more than once we’ve attempted to counter attack, lost the ball and Bartley was our deepest player as he was clearly hoping to catch his breath.

Bartley is still a good shout in most games where we need a bit of muscle. Great player to have around the club.

I’d imagine Swanson, Martin will be heading out the door permanently. Murray will likely head out on loan as well. Only way I’d let Bartley leave is if we get both Mulumbu and Kamara. Otherwise he stays!

Big Marv does the dirty work in the team, he's not built for stamina but for power, not the most skilful player ever to grace Easter Rd but he does the enforcer job better than anyone else here. There was a moment on thursday when he went down the wing on the left and you could literally see his brain explode trying to figure out what to do next, he then managed to stumble over the ball and ended up on his erse. :greengrin Do we need better? Yes but we also look for better in every position, it's what you do when the team improves and you look to challenge for trophies and leagues.

Hibs.net can confirm that Bleed Green has returned to hmfckickback.co.uk upon the expiration of his loan period.

During his week of posting, Bleed came out with a few random guesses, some of which turned out to have a very slight correlation with the truth. His keen interest in the affairs of Hibernian FC was a talking point.

Everyone at hibs.net would like to thank Bleed for his contributions and wish him all the best in his future yamfuddery.

Until his return in January....

My general opinion of him as a footballer.


Opinions eh! :rolleyes::confused:

Does it make you feel good when someone bites and asks?

The only thing gash about McLaren is your attention seeking drivel.

I didn't mind him at all and look forward to his return however, I'll won't be so tempted by his fly next time. :greengrin

Go have a look then.

Is it allowed on your rules for opinions about players to be other than positive? Or is it propaganda only?

I think being critical of our players is fine, if you must. Using pejorative terms about a Hibs player in an attempt to troll is honking patter imho.

[Speedway]

Not trolling. He’s crap.

Didn’t require anyone to ask about the name.

It’s trivial to deduce when you’re listing our summer signings. And it’s not the first time there has been a discussion around your use of the term for MacLaren.

Nor will it be the last.

Meanwhile, Hyndman’s a player.

Edit. I agree with you. Just in case my post came over as a criticism. Of some but not you.

I remember watching Marv's first game. I was immediately struck by his work rate, ability to win the ball and good pace over the ground. Really good defensive midfielder.

Many on here said that he was not always needed against a lot of the Championship teams but would be invaluable in the Premier.

Now we have many saying that we need better than Marv to get to the next level.

Whilst I probably agree with that to an extent, Marv hasn't changed, the club's requirements have. Marv has always been a hard working committed player who has given everything he has whilst playing for Hibs. The fact that his efforts have helped Hibs to get amongst the top teams in Scotland should never be forgotten.

For people on here to have a go at him for being a limited footballer is completely out of order and, as mentioned previously, too much like the Yams who are so ready to take their players from hero to zero at the drop of a hat (see when Lafferty was potentially off to the Huns). Marv does not make out that he is Messi or Ronaldo but he has and continues to be a great servant to Hibernian Football Club.

2 games back in the team and 2 clean sheets. Marv has his limitations, but when you want to keep a game tight and limit the number of chances against good opposition he's fantastic.

Rowan Vine was crap, Jamie is a decent striker with a very good scoring record, thank **** you're not our manager. They say you gain Knowledge with age, maybe not in your case eh!

8 goals in 16 appearances for Hibs is far from being “crap”.

Not that it was anything to do with Bartley but the game wasn't tight just because the post kept them out twice and they got a goal chalked off (wrongly) for handball.

Exactly. We’ve had some crap players in our time. Jamie MacLaren isn’t one of them.

[Eyrie]

If we ignore everything Maclaren can do and only focus on what he can't do, then he is clearly gash.

If we pay attention to what he can do, then he's in our starting eleven most weeks and there are other players doing what he doesn't.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

I wonder if the people that reckon Marv is immobile actually watch the games :confused:

Does Immobile not play in Serie A?

I'm sure you'll get the attention you so clearly desire .

if you think maclaren is not a decent signing then you are clearly at it

[Speedway]

Because we’re only allowed to think one way or because we’ve forgotten how often we were accusing him of having contributed nothing in many matchday threads last year?
