There’s fake news stories stating that Hibs have agreed a fee with Ayr. Might just be folk believing them. I honestly have no idea why folk think they’re funny with that and the fake Hibs twitter. They surely have other things they could do with their time.

I watched every shankland goal I can find on YouTube, virtually every single goal he scores is down to terrible defending. IMHO hw would score about 5 a season in the top flight.

Re Shankland. There is an article on a Welsh site where the Ayr Chairman says the only offer they have had would not cover the prize money difference for dropping 3 places. Prize money below suggests that £200k would be their starting point.

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190106/0cca40c0c0a45ed3367d7e9b9b5e4561.jpg

The interest leading to the article was from Swansea. Both Celtc and TRIFC are also meant to be interested. If we sign him it will be some bit of business.

Lawrence Shanklands four goals in a top of the table Championship clash away from home versus the Arabs was one of the finest individual performances I have ever seen in a 5-0 drubbing high pressure match beamed live across Scotland BBC Alba from a striker and no way were they four defensive errors :confused:

[jacomo]

Hyndman? Mallan? Horgan? Few creative Players brought in. Players sometime don't fit clubs. Sometimes they perform brilliantly. Sometimes they break their leg first training session. We can't forsee how every singing will play out.

We can't always get the players in we want. You don't know what discussions took place over the summer, do you? It's in the fabric of a club like Hibernian.

Our place in the food chain.


:agree:

We did actually replace Scott Allan last summer, so we not only had a plan b but carried it out.

We failed to replace SJM and Dylan. Mallan, Horgan, Hyndman etc might have done better if we had.

I’d like Scott Allan to return but there were obvious difficulties with that happening last summer.

Now things are different. If he wants to sign a pre contract with us our negotiating positive improves massively.

Being inebriated in a public place is hardly the worst crime in the world tbf. Sounds as if he needs help to manage his alcohol problem rather than judgementalism.

Hope he gets the help he needs.

Fair to say Rangers are doing their all to win this title...

Remember the arguments about Celtic winning up to 12 in a row ?

Looks a bit silly now

Throwing all their eggs in one basket. If they don't win it it could get interesting

[SirDavidsNapper]

Steven Davis resigns for rangers on loan until the end of the season, when his Southampton contact expires.

Good signing for them. If they get Jones and kamara in during Jan, they could win this league.

I dont know how good Shankland is, or if it would work out, but given the buzz and (reported) interest in him, it would be a serious statement of intent if we were to go out and get him.

The kind of statement i really feel the club has to make.

If Maclaren is away, i presume we will be after two new strikers, as well as the midfielders.

Is Cummings still a possibility also?

[Stonewall]

Who knows. The only things we know to be accurate are the debt figures and the going concern warnings in the accounts.

Even before signing Defoe and Davis they had ramped up their spending significantly. On the face of it this is madness but they seem to find a way to finance it. And Ashley and the Take Over Panel haven’t gone away.

I could see another share issue coming, but as to where it ends Is anyone’s guess.

The SFA will do stand by and do nothing, even if they wanted to their rules appear to be more or less unenforceable. The clubs will do nothing, the media will do nothing and bar a few “internet bampots”, who will try to keep the issues alive, most supporters don’t care that much or think it’s a waste of time fighting a lost cause.

If there’s championship clubs in for him we won’t be able to compete with what they can offer full stop.

Think Shankland would be worth the risk if we could get him at a reasonable price

[My_Wife_Camille]

It’s possible but if you look at their stats Reilly never managed to score more than 13 league goals in a whole season yet Shankland has 20 this season already and we’re only half way though (He actually has 28 goals overall).

In fact Shankland has about 20 more career goals than Reilly even though he’s played about 50 fewer games is also telling imo

[MrRobot]

I'm of the same opinion. If it was a free transfer i'd take a punt but i'd be very wary of spending big on a one season wonder from Ayr

There are people who want Jason Cummings signed again due to his goalscoring record while in the Championship.

Think he's worth a shot.

[The 90+2]

He’s had 3 phenomenal seasons if you take into account when he came through at QP too. Aberdeen came too early for him and was away from home at an early age trying to become a pro. He will definitely make it at a higher level than our league.

I hope Hibs are in for him and he (Shankland) could do no worse than look at the progression of John McGinn to see how to really progress up the levels, in the right way, and be able to not look out of place as they progress. SJM has slotted into the English Championship as a 'first pick' at Villa due to careful management and great coaching at Hibs, who capitalised on and improved his raw natural ability at St. Mirren. Both these clubs should be praised for the way they developed him (SJM). Andrew Robertson was the same, went from Queens Park, to Dundee United, to Hull and then Liverpool. It's these players who the likes of Shankland should be looking at and using as a blueprint for career moves.

Too many players chase the money and lucrative contracts and end up sitting in stands down in England only to return on loan or be released. The only place Shankland has proved himself thus far is in the lower Scottish divisions (he failed at Aberdeen)...........a club like Hibs could help his natural progression, against better teams and up against better defences, and really improve his chances of getting a big club down south where he would have a better chance of making it as a 'first pick'.

I think LS is a very good talent but he is a prospect at this stage, no more and no less. Would happily take him at Hibs but not by blowing a budget.

Was Hyndman not brought in for that role...Not saying he played it or played that well but thought initially that was why he was here.

Fully agree with that, and I’m hoping that with Shankland being a former teammate of Robertson he will go down that route too although big bucks in the English championship will of course be hard to turn down. I would be delightfully surprised if we managed to get Shankland in (maybe send Shaw on loan the other way?) but stranger things have happened and at least we seem to have at least enquired about him.

If Milligan and Mallan were replacements for Dylan and SJM then I will leave that to you to decide if both were even remotely adequately replaced??

I don't want to be critical but our recruitment over the summer was poor and late...and it's cost us big time this season so far.

Hence why i would like to see players signed early and ready to go against Elgin on 19th Jan.

Look at how undercooked we were at start of season with players signed late in the window, unfit, permit issues etc.

Only want to see my club do well and I don't feel recruitment has been great since Lennon took over - other than the Jan window last year.

The current Celtic and Rangers signing policies are quite interesting. Rangers signing old proven players and Celtic signing youngsters.

I know most signings are loans but celtic seem to turn those loans into transfers and subsequently larger transfer fees down the line.

On the face of it, rangers looked to have really strengthened but I'm not sure signing old proven players for the Scottish league is a good idea. Barton and Senderos had nightmares at the the Huns. They've also filled their team with a few older players, McGregor, Arfield, Defoe, Davis, some boy that was at West Brom. Expensive and might not guarantee the league.

Maybe it's **** or bust for them this season.

[The_Horde]

Guessing as Dundee want him as a replacement for Kamara he's a ball winning CM?

He's an energetic midfielder who specialises in winning second balls but does have ability on the ball too.

Pittman runs about 13-15k per game which is nuts.

[pacoluna]

Hibs have known for a while Ambrose was off - that came from Lennon to a source back in Nov.

If Milligan and Mallan were replacements for Dylan and SJM then I will leave that to you to decide if both were even remotely adequately replaced??

I don't want to be critical but our recruitment over the summer was poor and late...and it's cost us big time this season so far.

Hence why i would like to see players signed early and ready to go against Elgin on 19th Jan.

Look at how undercooked we were at start of season with players signed late in the window, unfit, permit issues etc.

Only want to see my club do well and I don't feel recruitment has been great since Lennon took over - other than the Jan window last year.

You can't have expected us to properly replace a 4million rated player within one season?

I was once in the coop in the Southside and overheard Leigh Griffiths granny say he was joining Celtic during his second loan spell at Hibs. I put on here and was laughed at. I have nothing concrete so far in this window.

Was quite believable until the part where coop south side closed a couple months back 👍

[MacGruber]

I agree that you are correct, it was virtually impossible to do that on our budget.
I think the frustration though is that we still expected to replace to a level that kept us ahead of most of the other teams that finished below us last year - I think we failed in that much.... however.... the Jan transfer window offers the chance to put that right. Allan and Gauld would go a long way to doing just that

Anther thread that ends up in folk having a dig at Mallan and other players.

Sometimes folk forget that Allan, McGinn, McGeough and others had the fortune of starting with us in the championship where we dominated most games and gained invaluable confidence. The same level Mallan excelled at and got a move to the championship.

Mallan is still young and technically very good, once we have a settled team with a good balance everyone will see just how good he is.

As much as I do agree in whole about Mallan. A transfer thread is exactly where you would probably see posts with digs at players some want replaced?

There’s a possibility if it suits both parties reads to me if it suits us and the player we have an option to buy, otherwise it wouldn’t be possible.

There was never a possibility of Allan staying on permanent after last winter for instance and was explained a good few times by NL.

Not so sure about that. We loaned Kamberi with an option to buy. Lennon only saying he wouldn't rule it out this time. Sounds more in hope than having a deal in place for the summer. Either way the summer transfer thread will be a hoot! Trying to figure out where he is from the reflection in his sunglasses etc. Can't wait :rolleyes:

[Lee Marvin]

Did anyone else take from the interview that the loan may be longer than 6 months? I think that is what he could be meaning upon watching

Is that not about introducing vegan sausages rolls at Easter Road?

I've been quite critical of Lenny at times but that's a much more positive interview for me. Gauld will be an interesting one, although I'm not getting carried away given how long it's been since he played in Scotland.

Good to get the first signing in and hopefully we'll add 2-3 more in the next couple of weeks.

Hope so btw! They’re brilliant! Macaroni pies at Easter Road are pish, so gie us veggies an option 😂😂😂

Wish i could get one! Don’t know how you’re getting them. Every Greggs i go to say the only Edinburgh store selling them is princes mall and even that sells out by lunchtime. Petrie!

Who the keeper Lenny is going on about? Must mean laidlaw is going

[hibees 7062]

Said a week or so ago he would return to Scotland, I’d take him

Someone on fb said we're in for him

[DavidDavidGray]

Scott Allan just started following Ryan Gauld on instagram. Would include screenshot but can’t figure out how.

[Blaster]

Gauld
Allan
O’Halloran

Yes please 👍

O’Halloran is poor, Horgan a far better option

Aussie keeper from Spurs on trial in Dubai.

[Borderhibbie76]

I agree that you are correct, it was virtually impossible to do that on our budget.
I think the frustration though is that we still expected to replace to a level that kept us ahead of most of the other teams that finished below us last year - I think we failed in that much.... however.... the Jan transfer window offers the chance to put that right. Allan and Gauld would go a long way to doing just thatGood post and excellent summary totally agree

Still shy a striker and defender

Not that I’m expecting 6 new signings

[Borderhibbie76]

Yeah, seems to be another Kamberi type deal. If we can get Allan in, a ball-winning midfielder, and another striker, I’d be pretty damn happy with our squad.I'd add a winger to that if Agyepong is still unfit and Boyle injured - but maybe am being a bit greedy

I think Agyepong is playing in the clip where Mallan scores from miles or/inches out (depending on your screen size :greengrin ) so hopefully he's in a position to play soon.

[Borderhibbie76]

Lennon says no plans to replace Efe. Hopefully means an end to 3-5-2.I suppose if we bolster the midfield Milligan can cover centre half in the event of any injuries

Agyepong is an exciting prospect. If his injury isnt one that will recur i would keep him. He looked dynamite at times before he got crocked.

Spoke to an Ayr Utd mate who believes that we've made a decent offer to Ayr for Shankland but we want to pay it in instalments. Don't think they've had the firm offers they expected.

My concern is that if he is made of glass, he’ll get the Watmore treatment from the opposition which will mean that we never see the best of him on a sustained basis.

It’s mainly hamstring injuries he’s suffered from, not bumps and bruises

That would be the concern. I suppose our medical team will have to decide.

I think the criticism of Milligan has gone way overboard. He’s obviously not had the impact we’d hoped but he’s not been that bad. I’m not sure how many games he’s played but it’s not a huge amount and after the first 4 or 5 of his games we’d barely conceded a goal and everyone was raving about him.

I’m sure he’s a more than capable back up defender.

Agree on how Good he has looked though for sure.

Improvement on Barker in terms of ability would you say or not seen enough yet?

[My_Wife_Camille]

Personally not keen on O’Halloran at all so hoping there’s nothing in that one

More to his game than Barker for me although BB probably has the edge for raw speed.

I'm no expert nor do I have any experience but I know a physio who worked at St Mirren.
He said they were big on prehab where they concentrated on preventing non contact injuries and boasted the best record in the division.
No reason to doubt what the guy was saying as I couldn't put up any argument against it.

Not seen enough of Agyepong to form much of an opinion, what I did see he looks ok no more but willing to put himself about a bit, which Barker wasn’t. I’d have loved to have Barker back though as the season went on I thought he got better and better and was starting to produce an end product. When he got the ball I felt a buzz similar to when Ivan received it.
