See his contract is now over and he is a free agent.

IMO a no brainer, I know we have a good number of players in this area, but the likes of McGregor and Hanlon have not been good enough this season. Perfect cover for Sir David also.
He was also looked like he could get us a few goals at the other end as well?

(No bias involved😎)

Would definitely have a look at him if he’s available.

He's the kind of level we need. Can't help but feel our aging defence is only going to get more and more exposed this season and next.

If it was a possibility it's a no brainer. Probably to high a stock now though, think he's been doing well

It was a bit of a shame that we didn’t give him a contract at the end of his loan spell. I really liked this guy. Big and strong, could launch a throw in quite a distance if my memory serves me right. Harry Potter will no doubt be sniffing about if he ever finds that out :greengrin

Definitely. We need a right back and he would fit the bill. Could also play central defence from what I remember?

Yup.

If he's a free agent and he's within budget, lets get it done.

Also he was cool as ******.

Yep, good player, but does all this "cool" business not just stem from the fact that he was sporting a pretty dapper pair of sunglasses on the celebration bus?

Hanlon is just back from injury and has played his best football recently. His first two games back were not up to his standard and obviously still not up to speed. Your comment not being good enough is to be polite unfair.

Absolute no brainer if NG is available - class player, tall, fit, strong and athletic. Given the inconsistency and unreliability of Darren and DG (injury wise) then it would be a terrific addition. I think the summer could see a rebuild of that defence anyway to be honest. Far too many injuries to contend with which makes choosing a consistent back 3/4 really difficult to manage.

Has played 65 games over 2 and a half years since leaving Hibs.
Only played 15 matches for Hibs in the Championship.
Played once for Norway in ............May 2016. What a month he had!

You would have thought if he was a good player his present club would want to extend his deal.
Not sure he is good enough for us but would certainly be better than Mavrias and is a very good professional at a good age (27). Would be delighted if we gave him a deal to the end of the season.

I agree and I find it odd that anyone would write that kind of tripe. Hanlon is a class act, sadly he seems to have injury issues at the moment and was brought back into the side prematurely.

Gunnarson looked a decent player, albeit he never really seemed to establish himself in the team. He would undoubtedly be an asset now too. I’d be delighted to see him return.

He wasn’t a first pick for hibs in the championship. I really liked him, but the reason he didn’t stay was because he wasn’t guaranteed a game. I think people are remembering him more fondly due to our current woes. Having said that I wouldn’t say no to getting him back.

Boyle wasn't a first pick either. Gunnar was definitely a quality player, an international, who we definitely shouldve kept. Would love him back now. Would offer far more than Whittaker and honestly, Gray, who has spent majority of the year injured.

I think if you were to ask Paul how his season is going doubt he would say 'I've been playing very good' he's been ok but nowhere near very good.

I seem to be in the miniority but can’t say I really remember much about Gunnarson other than I was at his debut away to Raith and he came on in the cup final.

That’s not to say he’s not a good player but can’t recall him leaving the same impression on me that he seems to have had on others.

He was offered a new contract but turned them down, that’s why he was on bench for last few games of season.

Forgot about that. Was a great finish.

I just felt Gunnarsson hardly ever put a foot wrong. Really good solid player who probably never got a chance to get in the team much purely because we had such a settler defence.

Seem to remember him almost score an own goal in that game?? Still think he was a really good player for us & was sad to see him not stay on. Right kind of player for Hibs I’d say.

Oh & thanks again to Hearts for helping gift wrap the cup for us that day, very kind :faf:

Gunzer was a quality player. We all talk about how David Gray won us the cup with that sweet header but during the 2-2 game Gunnarsson was the one who changed the game that day. Fantastic player who i would welcome back no bother.
