I never understand why some people on this site get great delight in giving certain posters who get info and pass it on in good faith such grief, we have 4-5 genuine guys who have contacts either in football or at the club and they share what they have been told. Some info turns out not to be correct, some not so, are you and the other grief giving posters jealous, it certainly seems that way. The majority of us folk here are happy to get any snippets of info, correct or not.

Well said!

Not even close. Remember Matt Thornhill et al.?

That sclaffed shot at Tynecastle............Nurse................ NUUUUUUURSSSSEEEEEEE

Been a very decent window, I think honestly we're massively helped by having Lennon as a manager. If we'd lost Allan, McGeouch and McGinn with Calderwood (or Butcher or Fenlon or ................. you get the picture) then we could've signed CR7 and Maradona '86 version and I'd still be pissed off.

Makes no sense to me. Why try for him and not Allan?

Maybe because Christie is left sided & Mallan, Hyndman & even Horgan are right sided. SJM leaving didn't just deprive us of an outstanding talent, it unbalanced our set up.

Think that says more about Swansea than Innis. My pals tell me that the vast majority of the posters on the Palace forum won't be sorry to see him go but still, with you refusing to be contradicted I will stop flogging a dead horse and hope that if he does come here he will be a success. GGTTH.

The voice of reason
The problem is that we've seen very little of most of our signings so far this season, and what we have seen of them has generally been in a patched up side.

Milligan and Agyepong - could both be magnificent players, we're yet to see either kick a ball.

Kamberi and McLaren - we all know what they're capable of, neither of them have been fit enough to make much of a contribution yet.

Horgan - one start, one motm performance.

Mallan - been here for no time, already scored 6 goals. How many of our midfielders have scored 6 goals in a season recently? He's got 6 before August is out.

Hyndman - good pedigree, has looked tidy enough in patches.

Chuck in someone like David Gray re-emerging like a new signing and Ryan Porteous impressing in the outings he's had and I think there's a lot to be positive about.

Losing McGinn and McGeough had the potential to be a nightmare - hopefully we've avoided that.

My glass is much, much more than half full.

That’s us done according to Mark Atkinson...

“As expected, Danny Swanson has left Hibs by mutual consent. Understand that's the club done for the transfer window. No further ins or outs“

Thanks Mr Atkinson, but it’s normally the organ grinder that makes the formal announcement and not the monkey.

Why would we release two midfielders to sign no one?

To save money and allow them to go out and play football and continue their careers. They are obviously not part of Lennons plans
There will be a few free agents after today and we might want to take one.

2nd was always hugely ambitious and very very unlikely.

I don’t see hearts or Aberdeen being better than us so still every chance of 3rd or 4th imo.

why would we just decide with 3 hours to go that's us?

surely we'd keep making calls until we're actually unable to sign anyone. to do otherwise and maybe miss out would be silly.

We have decent squad but it’s tiny. 1 injury in virtually any position and we will have to change shape. Where is all the money going or are we paying too much in wages? Still hoping for 2 in, especially if Efe situation progresses.

Kamberi and Mallan - fees spent - signed before McGinns money.
Horgan - fee spent
ageypong - loan
hyndmann - 6 month loan
milligan - free
bogdan - loan
maclaren - loan

whittaker, Bartley and Slivka as other options.

Out
barker
allan
mcgeough
mcginn

we are such a weakened side this year imo which we always were gonna be but I wish we had pushed the boat out abit. Record st sales, European run, McGinn fee I feel like we deserved a marquee signing especially in middle park. We lack balance. Anyone thinks Allan wasn't needed are wrong imo.

We are weaker because we are playing Steven Whittaker as our holding mid.
If our business is done then we are considerably weaker and questions need asked.
I don’t think we are finished yet though.

The worry is if we do regress, season tickets will disappear like snaw off a dyke. Hope something happens over the next few hours.

We’ve signed Milligan for that position, Whittaker isnonly okayingg there as Milligan and Bartley are our.

Whittaker also proved on Saturday he’s a more than capable replacement.

Time is running out.

Can you apply for extensions like they do down in England up here? Like if you’re are in the middle of finalising a deal or two and the clock hits the deadline but you are already in the middle of concluding that deal.

Allan gives us less balance imo. Already signed 3 players capable of playing in his position. A great link between a talented midfield and strike force he would’ve been.. a balancing act I think not

We’re weaker definitely but we’re just not rich enough to be stronger and that’s despite 200,000 ST sales and McGinn money that we’ve definitely already had and our Europa League run which came without any costs at all, just free money and the dryborough cup gate receipts from 1972 and the fiver Ronnie spent in the club shop on the Hibs Paddington Bear when we got promoted in 1981.

If we have a poor season (I know I’m jumping the gun) then a lot of fans will feel let down after they have backed the club in numbers. Suppose you never know what will happen, but we aren’t anywhere near as strong as last season.

If we do not bring anyone in it will certainly be disappointing

People are always going to defend the business we have done but considering the players we have lost that was a must & expected.

I felt we showed a lack of ambition by not spending more to replace McGinn before the Molde game, as funds for him were always going to come in.

To find us on the last day and still feeling a little short, i think will be one we regret.

A player such as Scott Allen or Kamara would show a bit of intent. Whilst it may cost us a fee. The fee would likely be worth it to strengthen the squad now rather than later.

I see now confirmed we are done, extremely disappointing.

Imo we were always going to be weaker this year. There was no way we could replace Mcginn and Mcgeouch. So what we have is stop gaps and potential as that is all we can do in the hope that we can find the next Mcginn. The level Mcginn was playing at when he left took time, we are not going to get a player at that level so can get potential in the hope they can develope like mallan or stop gap older players like milligan to keep us going. Unfortunately that is our reality.
Yea at the moment it would appear we are not as strong in midfield as we were last season, but we have still done good business

If we'd signed Flo and Jamie tonight rather than a few weeks ago everyone here would be buzzing.

All that's happened today is two fringe players have left.

We've still to see Milligan and Agyepong in action, Flo and Jamie are still to get games together...

It would have been nice to have had a signing tonight, but it's hardly disastrous that we haven't.

As for the biggest budget, surely folk still aren't struggling with understanding what was meant when Dempster said (and explained) that?
