Don’t think Allan has played a competitive game since around September

So we need to get him in early so that he can get 70 minutes against Elgin.

I can see us offering him a pre-contract, but equally see Celtc being very difficult to deal with about him coming in January.

Unless we get a mystery benefactor like them across the road it seems to me we will need to sell to have a decent amount to spend.

If we get a bid for Efe we should take cash then add it to the remaining amount from the McGinn deal and the money made from our Europa League run. Don’t want to sell Porteous yet.

Lennon needs to hand a list like this to the board.

Louis Moult (Preston)
Kenny McLean (Norwich)......ex Aberdeen, only had 1 start for Norwich so may be injured
Scott Allan (Celtic)
Glenn Kamara (Dundee)
Iglesias (Asteras)......big Argie midfielder who was great against us at Easter Road.

These are all players who would improve our team and get us competing at the top end of the table. May not get them all immediately, but possibly in the summer.

If Lennon does not get these players, or comparable ones, he will be offski (similar to John Collins a few years back). Can’t see him tolerating another batch of lower league, budget signings.

This list may be ambitious, but we are at a crossroads just now, as is Lennon.I think Neil will leave amicably at the end of the season and Gordon Strachan will be next in the hot seat.

I wondered the same. He’s at an age where there’s probably not a lot to gain for Celtic by loaning him out but it would at least reduce the numbers that Rodgers has moaned about.

Maybe he should put in a transfer request then? Or sign for us right now (Contracts end June 30, he can negotiate a deal with 6 months left of that which is in 2 days)? Or not force a move in the first place?

I want him back as much as anyone but if he loved Hibs so much he'd be playing for Hibs.

Having spoken with Scott he loves it at Hibs however some things are out of his hands,hopefully see him here soon 👍👍

Miller and Boyle were 2 of their better player players especially young Calvin Miller. Nabi has done nothing so won't be a loss.

They are desperately trying to move players on so that McIntyre can get new players in.
Last week they told 6 other players that they are free to move, however, 3 of them have contracts for another 18 months so are unlikely to go.

It might suit Celtic to give us Mulumbu on loan and Allan on a permanent so that we can derail their challengers by taking points of them.
They are 13 points ahead of us and have a game in hand so we are no threat to them. Both players are a mile out of the picture at Celtic.

What do you think?

I can’t see how that’s realistic tbh.

Players playing week in week out at a comparable or better standard to us will cost a lot of money. Players playing at a lower standard regularly will still cost money but be more of a gamble.

Imo it’ll be young players from down south or older players currently out of favour.

I think he is not a bad shout at all.

We do definitely need some other options up front and in attacking third.

However Lennon needs to also manage the strikers we have (and have had) better, as it is not sustainable to keep signing a new front line every 6 months.

He seems to have a real weak spot in identifying and managing strikers. Maybe its a subconscious throwback to the Alan Shearer episode 😁

Doesnt exactly fit with the hard working striker model. Think I saw a bit of a game for an Aussie team few months back (Melbourne victory?) and looked overweight. Got talent but attitude appears to be an issue, the story about him not making training at Villa because the electronic gate to his house wouldnt open was quality.

If ambrose is away now hibs better come up with some strong signings to keep Lennon and us fans happy. It has a familiar feel of the last time we got promoted one or two season with a good team and then just slowly but surely filtered in by journeymen and dross. Lennon said himself no signings and we will be bottom six. Can’t see Lennon staying around for that ambition. Hibs need to back him or they will lose him.

At times he's been a bombscare but this past 4 months he's turned me around and I've loved watching him play, thankfully Porteous has gained great experience playing recently, so it's not all panic yet.

I think you’re right that he’s out of the picture at celtic. He was only signed as a stop gap after they failed to get SJM. I’m not sure Lennon will be looking to add a defensive midfielder this window even if Mulumbu might be an upgrade on Milligan or Bartley.

I understand what you mean, but the thing is in Scotland you dont need to have top class centre halves for them to be good, or part of a good defensive unit.

For my money, it's always possible to pick up a decent centre half, and Porteous emerging is a huge benefit that eases the problem a bit.

It's not happened yet because of injuries , but our best team is a 451/433. Given the likely ins and outs, I'd suggest the below.


.........Bogdan
.Gray.Porteous.Hanlon.Stevenson
.......Slivka.Allan
..Boyle...Mallan.. Horgan
......... Kamberi

If Agyepong could get fit, I reckon we'd tear teams apart, he looked absolutely electric. Mallan can't play deep either, but with pace infront of him and Allan's passing behind, he'd get loads of chances from outside the box.

Still lacking a dominant midfielder, but would hope increased numbers would give us the presence we need.

By the way you do know that we don't all have to like the same players, I'm also not a fan of Bartley, appreciate what he does bring but for me adds little except being an enforcer type player, it's called an opinion and like a lot on this forum we are allowed them.

We need someone in there to get us playing football from deep again.

Based on what we have now I’d play Marv if fit but I hope we can get better. He’s another that hasn’t played much in the last year for different reasons.

3 league goals? Not very impressive for a forward.

I'd have said the same last year, but Marv has been sensational whenever called upon this year, including Europe. Maybe in a Mcginn-less team, there's a place for an outright enforcer to protect Allan and Mallan types.

Marvs been excellent for us since we signed him 3 years ago. The reality is we are never going to replace that midfield mate our best bet is to have marv and another rock in the middle with him and Scott Allan playing infront behind the strikers.

I would go for McCormack tip of the diamond Allan and Boyle left right and a guy like Watt or Erwin up top with Flo. Allan likes drifting in and out to the side and McCormack would be excellent in a Kristian Commons role.

McCormack would be a disaster, both in playing and attitude terms.

And given that he is contracted to Villa until June 2020 can’t see him going anywhere soon...other than on holiday again, as he has been on one in Oz for a year.

The 2019 January transfer window is now open and where are HIBS ?

****ed off to Dubai!

Once again we will be left with the rejects, loanees, free transfers and nearly men that other teams do not want

Cmon HIBS lets break open the biscuit tin and bring in some real quality before it’s too late

The fans deserve better

Cmon the cabbage!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! :greengrin

So the board needs to give him a lot more money to spend ‘cos he wasted the summer amount on players who clearly aren’t good enough, players he said at the time were ones he really wanted and had been tracking for a while. If I was the board I’d be asking why they should trust him to get it right this time. I get that some signings don’t work but other than Bogdan I’d question if any of his other summer signings have come anywhere close to being s success.

I’m sure I’d read on here before that Allan didn’t want to move far from central Scotland due to his family. America would be quite the jump if that was true.

Genuinely not looking to get folks’ hopes up here... but has anyone else heard the rumour about Celtic being ready to release Leigh from his contract and us being in talks with him? Didn’t believe it was likely but the source is usually pretty reliable.

Think that's incredibly unlikely but who knows? He obviously has some serious, ongoing issues at the moment and maybe he and his family believe getting out of Glasgow and going back to where he's loved is more important than money?

Again, think it's 100 to 1 but I can just about see some logic in it.

You obviously know nothing about him.
He had one of(If not)the top goals to games averages in the league last year.

He cant really help that he has been injured pretty much since Aussie League started.

I think that's about right. If we signed 2 really good midfielders and a winger we'd be fine. Don't fancy our chances though tbh.

I agree about the midfielders. It’s quality we need here. You’re not going to completely overhaul a squad in January.

And Lennon needs to do his job properly and get more out of what he has as well.

Honestly - a discussion from a couple of days ago, but as I said... didn’t believe it myself - and his latest IG post specifically says he will be back for ‘the team’ in 2019 with pics of him winning trophies with Celtic - so suggests he is indeed staying put.

We also need to potentially replace efe and need at least one forward in. I would be saying minimum 5 needed.

I sort of agree with him.

The signings have underperformed for whatever reason.

I'm not convinced Kamberi, McLaren and Hyndman aren't capable of much better. We should expect more from Australia's captain and Agyepong has barely kicked a ball.

These players should all be good enough but we've not got enough out of them.

It's unrealistic to expect to replace them all, so he'll need to add a few and somehow get more from what he's already got.

So his dig at the board is a bit cheeky if you ask me...yet another example of Lennon acting like he's bigger than the club. Happy for him to stay and turn this around but he needs to ditch this Billy big baws attitude and start taking some responsibility for the fact we are underperforming massively atm

I watched every game he played in last year.

Most of his goals came from free kicks or penalties.

His disciplinary record at both Aston Villa and Melbourne City was questionable..

His second holiday was with Central Coast Mariners....he’s supposedly injured just now, but check out where his current team are on the league ladder...indicative of what he can now attract in Oz.

They surely don’t want him back and it’s not in the players interest, although it’s clear we can’t keep paying for him. Maybe a deal gets done there.

I do not in the slightest agree that he was City's best player by any means.

Hence why they did not seek to extend his loan deal, and hence why he subsequently came on loan to Australia's basement dwellers, Central Coast Mariners.

We obviously disagree on how good/bad the player in question is, and we're probably best to leave it at that.

I'm watching the Sunderland documentary on Netflix at the moment.

Quite a big bit was made of them missing out on signing Ross McCormack at the end of the August transfer window, and a lot of their trouble that season was their struggle to score goals.

But I thought McCormack subsequently went to Australia and failed to make a brilliant impact over there? He was very poor at Villa prior to that and to all intents and purposes seems to me to be finished (and I say this having not seen him play 1 minute of football but only going on reports I have heard).

I'm not sure I'd be desperate for us to sign him.
