Whereas Marciano does it on a weekly basis.

It's an area of the pitch that is unforgiving if mistakes are made. Both are good keepers.

I actually thought Marciano was to blame for the Hearts equaliser recently - he had the option of playing the ball wide from a bye kick, yet played a straight ball down the middle to nobody (think it may have been aimed at Horgan who was up against a 6 ft 2' centre half) which was immediately put down the throat of Daz (think it was Souttar that headed it back). Yet in the aftermath folk were asking why Daz didn't do more, why Hanlon rushed in, why SDG was out of position. All could have been avoided if Rocky had distributed the ball better and put width on it.

I do agree with you though. Marciano is very consistent and a very good keeper overall.

Both have made some game winning saves this season Dexter - Bogdan's performance v Asteras away was terrific and he made some wonderful saves that night second half.

Both are excellent and better than we've had for a long long time.

I would imagine he’s got something agreed somewhere (or close to it) but will be waiting on Ayr getting through/put out of the play offs for it to be finalised. Can’t see him getting a much bigger move than Hibs based on his form in the second half of the season, although he has been hampered by injury for large spells.

FWIW someone posted recently that Robbie Stockdale has been at quite a few Ayr games recently.

Thanks MjJo......I wouldn't be offering contracts to any of them and I'd imagine Hecky will think the same. We definitely need better if we wish to progress

I believe Spector has been offered another year..

Exeter City supporters seem to think their keeper is coming to us in summer. Christy Pym.

Marciano's stock is high right now and I can see bids coming in for him this summer. Really good keeper, composed and consistent, however his distribution at times is terrible and puts us either on the back foot or concedes needless possession (aimless kicks to SDG with alarming regularity at Ibrox for example) - no doubting however he is a fantastic shot stopper and one of our best goalies over recent years. He could easily play at a much higher level.

I like Bogdan a lot - seems to have overcome a lot in his career (in terms of mistakes at previous clubs), stuck at it and become very consistent. Would love him to stay but feel he may want another chance down in England or abroad at a higher level.

The keepers have been really good the last three seasons and long may it continue that we do well in this department.

Rocky is very settled in Edinburgh. Unless Celtc come in for him I can’t see him moving.

The fact that McNulty has gone off the boil recently might make it easier for us to get him. Griffiths' first loan at us was hit and miss before the all conquering second season.

Got told he’s one we’re monitoring so not exactly ground breaking. Wanted by a couple of clubs so I’m sure he will get decent enough money. I’m not actually sure how good he is? Had a bad injury. Think he would suit Heckingbottoms style though as he is quick and powerful, also capable of coming in more centrally

The other one I was told was Andrew Nelson of Dundee. Stockdale knows him from Sunderland and is a fan.

I think Transfermarket means his contract at Preston ends this summer. If you scroll further down, it says he has another year at City.

I can't see Man City not having an involvement in Brandon Barker's next move I think who ever he signs for next will get hit for quite a large development fee. I don't know this for certain just speculation but I'm sure someone on here could shed some light of this sort of situation

We've been monitoring Cadden for at least 2 seasons but he would cost at least £250k dev fee. I like him but he seems to be one of those players who promise more than they actually deliver. Nelson only signed for Dee in Jan & think he got injured almost immediately. However, with Dundee's situation anything is possible. Jesse Curran may be another from there.

That Nelson signed a 3 year deal in Jan and seems to be their one bright spark so unless he had a relegation clause, can’t see him going to us as would require a decent fee

What positions we reckon Hecky is going for then.

I’m thinking back up right back.
centre half.
younger holding midfielder, omenonga.
mcnulty and a big physical type centre forward.

going out in saying, laidlaw, Johnson, Spector, Bartley, slivka, nelom, bigiramana, shaw on loan. Agyepong.

Centre Hawf

12-05-2019, 05:59 PM

Would love to see Barker back at us. I think he would do well coming back here in his final year at Man City and put himself in the shop window for a permanent move somewhere. Last thing he needs is a move to a championship club and sit on the bench for most of the season. Come up here, play 30 games, grab a handful of goals and assists and make a highlight reel for yourself son.

Also would love to see us go for Chris Cadden, I think he's a cracking potential replacement for David Gray or option when he's injured, I know he's more of a winger/wing back than an actual right back but he has an engine on him and reckon he's the exact type of signing we should be making. If we have to pay the 250k development fee then I say go for it.

Just wondering how good is he?

I work with a couple of Motherwell fans and they don't rate him as highly as the likes of Turnbull Hastie etc. Saying all he can do is run in a straight line. They aren't bothered he looks like leaving.

He’s very versatile and not got a position nailed down since the young guys have came through at Motherwell. I think he would be a very good signing and probably needs a change of scenery and a specific position.

That was my sort of view. Think his main attributes would be his physicality.

The sort of energy and power I imagine Heckingbottom will want in his midfield and will have the understanding to tuck in if played on the wing. Only this is as an attacking player I’m not convinced how creative he is, something Heckingbottom has said needs to improve.

He wasn’t my cup of tea and I don’t want him back but I think he never really stood a chance.

His best games came when there were two forwards ahead of him and that rarely happened while he was here. We never really found a system that suited him so I don’t think we saw the best in him.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he goes on to have a decent career, I doubt very much If it’ll be in Scotland though.

This.

Need to remember there's a lot of grades between "Legend" and "Gash".
Most of the players we're likely to see are somewhere between those two.

Don't know why Hyndman is even being debated as a credible signing on here. We have two players that play his exact position and whom are both better than him. We don't need another one.

I'd be very concerned if we went into next season trying to find a way to accommodate Allan, Mallan and Hyndman.

They'd be torn to pieces.

Allan fills the luxury player role for me next year, we're looking for energy, pace, graft, movement and a wee bit of defensive help to get the best from him.

Absolutely agree. If I'm honest I'd potentially have Mallan as a back up to Allan and get some real drive and fight to fill the centre mid. Easier said than done but as you say Mallan is a luxury player most of the time

Hyndman is a good footballer. He is coached really well and does some really nice things with the football.

But he doesn't have the heart, desire or ruthlessness to make it on these shores and he was (largely) rubbish or injured for us. Scott Allan pisses all over him.

Mallan is still relatively young and developing as a player. His shooting and dead-ball delivery are excellent but he is clearly working on other aspects of his game to make him a better all-round player, but that doesn't happen overnight.

I think there is a conscious effort being made to play him in deeper lying positions and to develop him into the type of role McGeouch played to accommodate Allan coming in as our first-choice attacking midfielder.

Er, aye.

I'm not doubting his work ethic but in my opinion he's not a player you want back on the edge of his own box making tackles.

He's like Latapy - you build a team around him in order for him to work hard and produce his magic in the areas that matter most rather than waste him getting him to do stuff that he's not so good at and less gifted players than him are better at.

We've wasted a few players in the past in this way. It would be criminal if we were to do the same with Allan.

The other players I mentioned aren't dissimilar, in that you have to have the right players and the right team set up to get the best out of Mallan and Hyndman. Trying to accommodate even 2 of them would be a disaster (see the first half of this season).

Scott Allan showed by his performances for us that he was glad to be back home and was prepared to roll up his sleeves and get stuck in

Perhaps due to the way he left us under a Hun cloud the first time he was here :confused:

I'm not going to argue with any of that.

But we need a team built so that he can do what he does best.

I think you're right, he does seem to be getting pushed into this role. However, I can't say I've seen many signs of it being a worthwhile decision.

Allan will be first choice as you say, we absolutely need drive and energy behind him and Mallan will never provide that.

I have definitely seen progress with Mallan on physical aspects etc, however not sure how we fit him in next year (if we do go for energy in midfield as I hope we will)

Edit: thought I should add, I would love if he did turn into a McGeoch type who can also shoot, would be a great combo to have - used to always annoy me that Dylan would find himself in great shooting positions on the edge of the box and pass.

I know a rangers supporting mate of mine spoke about his loss to them ahead of 21/05/16

Always thought he was just a bit of a thug on the park. He certainly did his share of fouling when I've seen him against us. Also, something like this would only happen if Milligan was leaving.

I hope we go with more of an all-rounder in the midfield. A decent box to box. Doesn't have to be McGinn quality.

I'd like Stirling and Block to get a chance. Block seems to have similar physique to McGinn.

Yes, that’s what I meant. Sorry.

Scott Fox has just left Ross County. Would he tick the box of being good backup whilst also having enough about him to keep Rocky on his toes?

Don't rate him especially highly, though in terms of experience he would be a decent backup. However, at 31 I'm sure he wants first team football, and if he's not being offered enough by Ross County, I wouldn't want to give him what he wants to (hopefully) just warm the bench at ER.

What a bargain - if we somehow had £2.5M to spend, i could think of nothing better than buying a near 33 year old centre forward who has started 6 games in a year.

He's bought that because he can afford to on an English Premiership wage. He's played most games for Southampton this season

Well it would be better if the rumour had a semblance of possibility even if we didn't truly believe it. Hibs paying 2.5 million for a 33 year old is straight from a blogger based in Narnia......

Conor Washington released by Sheff Utd.... could be worth a punt....?

With Hecky as manager i am a lot more open to unknown signings but also confident that he could convince some England based players to make the move north.

Time will tell.

Is this the lad the scored regularly for Peterborough and got a decent money move to QPR but didn’t work out??

Not sure if they've been mentioned already but I see Mark O'Hara, Jose Baxter, and Ash Taylor have all been either released or are transfer listed.

I follow a bit of the English Football League and for me they are 3 players with decent pedigree that I would target and they could improve us in either First 11 or match day squad depth. O'Hara hasn't really done it since leaving Dundee but still young enough to do a Fraser Fyvie/Dylan McGeouch turn around and Ash Taylor was a decent centre half for a decent Aberdeen side till *cough* things happened *cough*. Would happily look at either of them as potential signings for next season.

Baxter is an interesting one though, he's had a drugs issue in the past and that can put people off, and rightly so. But his old club Everton stood by him to the point where they gave him a contract, and as a player he could absolutely flourish up here I reckon. If his head was in the right place he would be worth money to someone one day. That one I would leave up to people who have met him rather than seen him play though.

Not strictly a transfer rumour however is relevant with regards to a signing philosophy.

‘Pace, Power and Athleticism’

An interesting read:

https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/sport/football/paul-heckingbottom-wants-build-more-16292152

An exciting read and looking forward to that sort of player coming in. I think to do well at the top end of the league you need exactly what he has described.

Aberdeen and Killie are an example of this, solid back 4 and centre mid, wingers and strikers will be the threat and beat teams.

Aberdeen - Dirty as they come, don’t give away much but GMS, McGinn etc all win the games with their quality.

Kilmarnock - Exact same with Jones, McKenzie and Brophy

Scott Allan will make a big difference especially if he has good pace and movement around him.

Think Mark O’Hara fits the bill perfectly, very big athletic boy who done well at Dundee before his move down south. Can chip in with a couple of goals too.

Jamie Lindsay is similar and would be a good addition.

Really looking forward to see who he brings in

We had some of that with Mcginn and he was sorely missed this season for his running power, we also have a defence who are all over thirty so i expect a few changes there as well.

Scotsman today quoting Hecky that we are definitely trying to secure McNulty and Omeonga for next season.

Getting definitive on these two before the end of this month would be hugely beneficial in planning for next season.
Hecky said that at the Q & A last night in the Hibs Club and also that McGeouch is being discussed. He got a round of applause for that answer when asked the question

I think you may see Mallan playing the deeper role unless he can add drive, pace and power to his game. Omeonga or similar next to Allan with Mallan sitting deeper would be my mid 3. Its who he brings in as either backup or to challenge for positions that's intriguing.
