Bit surprised. Maybe freeing up our contribution for someone else, thought Neil was keen on him.

Hasn't contributed nearly enough and whilst he had a couple of good games he isn't imposing enough on the pitch. Too similar to Slivka and ultimately isn't our player so I'd rather we develop the one who is.

All the best to him … But its the right decision, you can have all the talent in the world but without the physicality to compete as well you aint gonna make it, I will be amazed if he ever makes it in the EPL … every player in that league has talent, but you have to have either pace or strength as well and hopefully both .. if like Emerson you have neither yer goosed.

A bit doom and gloom for the start of a new year but, IMO there's not ONE player in the current squad that I would greet my eyes out if they were to leave. There are obviously a good few I would be happy to see staying, some even to start building a new around around and who would hopefully improve with better players around them, but for most; if they go, fine, if they stay, then they need to pull the finger out and start showing why they were wanted by N.L. in the first place.

I think the Agyepong situation has been so frustrating all round. I think we should at least have discussions with City with a view to keeping Agyepong till the end of the season but only if they're prepared to offer another loanee. I think they owe us on that one.

Efe's the one I'd be most disappointed to lose, and sadly that is looking likely.

In some ways I'm the opposite to you in that unlike previously we've not really got one player that I'm desperate to see the back of. Most of our current players I could genuinely see bing a success under the right circumstances.

Mallan's the one I'd probably be happiest to see go as he contributes so little to open play, and I'm pretty sure that carrying this passenger is what is causing other good players to struggle. Even then though, I'm aware of what folk on here have said of his time at St Mirren and it does ring true - maybe we just need to find an adequate tactical style that allows us to play him in an advanced role and not worry too much about defending to get the best from him.

I think he'd struggle in English Championship. Has skill but needs to put in gym time. Worrying thing for him is our 19 year olds have more physicality. He's unfortunately broke into football at a time when, unless you are brilliant, you need to be strong, fast or have a bit of bite.

I do wish him luck but I'm glad he is gone. Nelom and Agyepong to follow please. Then 5 players in that are fit and ready to go straight into starting 11.

I’d keep Agyepong if we can agree something with City. He’s got something to offer if we can get him, and keep him fit
Think Lennon likes him too, but we’ll see what happens. Remember we could be without Boyle until Feb, leaves us light on wide players

I think Agyepong has a chronic injury issue, I may be wrong but something clearly isn't right. Gets fit but is injured again in his 1st appearance back. I love Gray but id call Agyepongs injury record Grayesque.

Not so sure has played 10 a number of times and while showed up well v Hamilton less so against better opposition. His last few games since Celtic haven't been great and very peripheral need someone who will make more impact pronto. Also should have made much more of last minute penalty shout in derby he allowed Clancy to wave away by not doing so imo.

Apart from one or two games where he did okay, he was posted missing for the rest of the time, and is well short of the type of dynamic and imposing figure we badly need in midfield if we are to seriously compete for a top 4 position.

The football is high tempo. It's very similar to football in this country where it is blood and thunder and the games matter so much. The supporters are really passionate at every club.

I don't think the comments have been too bad but anyone who watched his YouTube highlights and read what the Huns thought of him surely expected far more than he delivered. Doesn't matter to me anyway what NL or Eddie Howe think of him, my opinion is based on half a season watching an attacking midfielder score one goal and provide zero assists. In the majority of games I watched him he offered little or nothing. Contributions like his are part of the reason we are in our current league position. I'm concerned if NL thought he was worth keeping beyond his initial loan.

He played very well when we setup in the diamond and he played as a 10 behind the 2 strikers. Like many players this season it seems a case of square pegs in round holes in too many games.

Good luck to Emerson. He's been OK for us overall - great in some games and anonymous in others - but the fact he has not made himself a certain starter in what is a significantly weaker midfield than we had last year says it all. We need players who are going to make themselves undropable - over to you Neil...

Exactly. Since this summer most people on here have gone mental and keep basing opinions on players by trying to make them into totally different players to what they actually are. Hyndman took a while to do well for us but came on to a game before getting injured. Then came back from injury and played pretty well when we played him in a position that suited him.

Great loan spell up in Scotland in a competitive league (flitted around the peripheries of games against some truly dreadful sides). Brought back to bolster the squad, close to getting a game in the Premier League, all with no intent to actually play him as they've twigged he's pish, never going to make it there and they fancy cashing in as best as they can?

Glad to see their manager is more complimentary to Scottish football than some of the self entitled ****s posting on their fans forum.

Ach, I wouldn't worry about that mate, I went onto their forum when we signed him and I swear one of them didn't even know Hibs played in Edinburgh … I got the distinct feeling that it isn't exactly a football hotbed. No offence to the few who actually expressed an interest in Hibs and wanted to know what their player was getting into rather than just dismissing us now that they were a EPL giant and far too good to be sending players to the likes of the Scottish premiership :greengrin

No chance he will regularly feature in the Premier League. You have to wonder how some of these guys make it to that level. There's a lot of money to be made in England by being very average at football. See Islam Feruz. 23 now played about 30 games in 4 years without scoring one goal at professional level.

Excellent news, just a pity I have to look at him for the next month in the calendar.

My thoughts exactly , cut out of David gray from last year solved it

No they don't. They begin with J and M.

EH? is a good summary of Hideman's 6 months here though.

That's pretty poor patter.

If you had a detailed analysis of Hyndman's performances then that might stand up.

But hey, you've got 'Hideman'.

What are you actually adding here?

Haven't read through the thread it seems personal.

The idea that Hyndman could possibly be playing in the EPL seems so incredibly far fetched to me. There’ll tens of better players in the Scottish Championship based on what he offered to us.

There is without doubt a quality player in there, if true that we wanted to keep him and Bournemouth wanted him back should tell you he is rated. I really liked him at Hibs, good on the ball and seemed to have more time than others, granted didn’t look that way all the time.

Wouldn’t at all be surprised to see him feature a fair bit in Premiership 2nd half of this season and for him to have a decent career.
