FINALLY. I was bigging him up when Lennon took over!

[thegaffer12]

Lewis Vaughan supposedly signing

If Cummings is unproven at the top level, Vaughan is the same

[Chefki Kuqi]

Lewis Vaughan supposedly signing

Could be a good one, loved at Raith but apparently not properly utilised. Can play anywhere across the front I think so would be good cover for that area. Slight injury record but maybe we can provide him with better facilities, seem to remember he’s posted positively about Hibs in the past.

[NthCarolinaHibs]

That never took long 🙄

[MacGruber]

Lewis Vaughan supposedly signing

Who he?

[SHODAN]

Lewis Vaughan supposedly signing

Didn't start scoring for Raith until they went down to the third tier, and made few appearances last season (although his strike rate was good) - injured?

[500miles]

They loaned him out to Dumbarton the season they got relegated. Dumbarton stayed up, he scored the goals.

Good Hibby

[craigiehibs]

and always shone v hibs and i think hes a hibby too?

Are there any bad ones?

Rather have Johnny Vaughan.😉

[BILLYHIBS]

Are there any bad ones?

No

Only on here apparently :greengrin

[Unseen work]

We’ve been linked with him for about 3 years now, find it odd if we were to sign him now given it doesn’t look like he has played many games of late.

Was brilliant on football manager....

[Heisenberg]

Can’t see the Vaughan one being true. Been injured loads recently and would struggle to get into the side if he moved here.

[My_Wife_Camille]

better wi Vince Vaughn

[matty_f]

Vaughan is out with a second ACL injury, so would really doubt that we’d be signing him.

[The 90+2]

Lewis is injured.

[The 90+2]

It’s not true. 👍

[The 90+2]

He signed a new deal at RR in January also. It would cost a wee bit for a player who would probably fail a medical.

Either attention seeking, delusional, or a Jambo..........or a trusted friend who is one of the previous three !

[Inconsequential]

Brandon Barker has been mentioned by some as a replacement for Martin Boyle but is Barker not mainly a left winger? Daryl Horgan could play on the right I suppose but is better on the left - he can shoot with his right foot and cross with his left. A right winger would be a better option. But who?

Prefer Darryl Horgan playing on the right myself rather than on the left, where he will typically cut onto his right before overhitting a cross out for a goal kick.

Good for you mate. It seems unlikely given his recent major injury but this is a rumours' board. FWIW I know we were monitoring him a season or so back.

He's a perfect Harry Potter player. Hasn't made a forward pass for 10 years & will leave the boot in at every opportunity. He may however require some coaching in how to launch kick offs to the far corner line.

Would doubt it. Actually might be better waiting until the English window closes, sqauds are completed and surplus players at good clubs and or youngsters are more inclined to be loaned out.

They're a much better team when he's playing...hopefully that's no very often.

[Sean1875]

They're a much better team when he's playing...hopefully that's no very often.

He'll get his inevitable knee injury at some point and be stuck on their treatment table for months. He'll be top of their wage bill so a risk to take for them but he's the only chance they have of a top 6 finish, they're utter mince.

[Stevie Reid]

Hearts definitely have added quality in this window, Halkett is impressive and chips in with a few goals, and Walker and Naismith are potential match winners - their records with and without SN in their team last year speak volumes.

Keeping players fit will be their biggest problem though. Haring is very good but injury prone, Naismith had two knee issues last year, and I just can't see how Ikpeazu can lug that huge frame about without getting regular injuries.

Their strongest eleven will be a good side. Whether they get to field it very often is another matter.

Walker has notoriously dodgy knees too. On paper though they do have a good first 11 for the SPFL as you say. Wouldn't surprise me if they do something similar to what they did last season but maybe finishing a bit higher up the league

Agree with Halkett, but they've not really added Naismith this window, they had him last year and were pretty poor and uninspiring.

If him and Walker can stay fit then they should be able to grind out enough 1-0 wins to finish top 6, but if not its 7th or 8th for them.

[Stuart93]

Could go a signing, I’m bored now

4 year contract. He lucky if hes fit for a year of it. Chronic waste of money by hearts.

[Jones28]

Well played from Naismith’s agent. He either plays for four years or spends a chunk of it on the treatment table, meaning either money for nothing or a big payoff.

[greenpaper55]

Naismith 33 next month ! he will be nearly 37 by the time his contract is up .

Tiresome pun?

[H18 SFR]

The daily record live transfer feed was saying we've made a signing but now there is no mention of it??

[ian cruise]

I'm not so sure he'll spend as much time on the injury table as others are assuming, think there's some wishful thinking going on. Definitely a signing that improves them from their preseason outings.

[Stevie Reid]

They were usually poor and uninspiring without him in the team. They may still have been uninspiring with him in it, but their results were significantly better.

Granted, there may be some shared linguistic characteristics between my chosen method of expression and your puns but imo to say they are the same is to say that cats and dogs are the same just because they both walk on four legs and enjoy licking their own bits.

Great deal from Naismith's perspective. Heart's will get maybe 1 good season out of him.

[Hibbyradge]

Even Steven Whittaker's deal, which a lot of people on here felt was too long, runs out before he turns 36.

Naismith is 33 next month so he's bound to be slowing down.

I think he's either going to start fouling even more or suffering from regular injuries, possibly both.

[Since452]

We have club legends who are inspirational role models. They have Steven Naismith who stands over injured players and taunts them. Thats the difference between the two clubs.

Interesting, is Naismith’s salary similar to that of McGregor and Gray?

[MWHIBBIES]

I think its the opposite actually, Nowich are very well run, players take big cuts if they get relegated from the premier league and are rewarded with bonuses for loyalty and promotion. They consistently get back up without much fuss and stay there for a few years.

[SHODAN]

December 2022. Now 36 years old, Steven Naismith is still banging in the goals for Hearts, the most recent being in a man-of-the-match performance in the Edinburgh derby. Naismith, now club captain, is offered and happily accepts a new three-year player-coach contract. No one is too outwardly bothered about it on hibs.net because we all think his "legs will be gone next year, definitely".

I think the folk who said his legs had gone could eventually get this one right.

[The Spaceman]

Naismith is a good player/has a good brain for it, but his legs are shot and it will be a minor miracle if he doesn't sit out a good chunk of this season with further injuries. If they can keep him injury free, he is a quality player. But that is a massive, massive if.

Depends how big you regard our teams scotty allans a class above us too imo. Just different interpretations i guess

[jgl07]

Great deal from Naismith's perspective. Heart's will get maybe 1 good season out of him.
He missed a chunk of last season having two knee operations and Hearts think he is up to playing to 36.

[bigwheel]

Think so ? I’d say a fit Naismith is on a different
Level from Kamberi - quite different players tbf - but Kamberi ain’t going to Play at the level Naismith has

[Clarence]

Naismith will never play at that level again so to say that he is currently on a different level from other strikers in Scotland is probably a stretch in a lot of people’s minds.

[Vault Boy]

It's fair to say that Naismith still has something to offer when fit, but giving such a lengthy deal to an ageing, injury prone player is certainly a risk, one that I can only imagine Naismith and his reps pushed for, rather than heaths.

[JohnMcM]

Despite his nasty antics, I think Naismith is a good player when fit.

If he, Walker and Halkett all stay fit I can see then causing many teams, including us problems.

The chances are our boys will handle them but, as fans, we would probably be daft to underestimate the threat they can carry.

:flag:

[SMAXXA]

No exactly came as a surprise he was always signing for them, 4 years am guessing is what’s surprised most. If ever a player suited a club he’s a wee guffie. Let’s focus on Hibs and let them do all the talking about that wee nyaff

There was a time when Naismith was a very good player. He peaked about 4 years ago and it's been downhill ever since, hence him now playing for Hearts.

Good player still and the sort we could do with urging the team on.

The chances are our boys will handle them but, as fans, we would probably be daft to underestimate the threat they can carry.

:flag:

That's a big stretch to saythey will be a threat.. First of all halkett. A good signing no doubt but they are looking vulnerable at the back and held on to draw with east fife with walker and halkett in the team. Walker hadn't done anything for two years so it's a huge leap of faith to say he will be a threat. Naismith will help them a lot if he stays fit which of course is s big if. If you keep getting long term injuries at his age it's very short odds on him missing a chunk of the season. So yes if walker gets back to some form and Naismith isn't hampered by injury then they will improve them. Id be very worried if Hibs were in that situation hoping that guys return to form after two years of nothing and an admittedly good player whose 33snf has missed a lot of games through I jury.
Most Hertz fans i speak to are realistic to know that this season will be a struggle especially with none of their strikers scoring in four league cup games.
Naismith will feel it tougher each season and he's not that much better than others than that won't begin to show.
I usually have all jambos telling me they will finish above us this season. Very few saying that right now and that tells its own story.

[HoboHarry]

Wonder if Naismith is being set up for the role of coach and CL stepping down with a contract that long.....

[wallpaperman]

Caught this little nugget on kickback on the Naismith thread. Not quite up with Bulgarian balconies and solo clapping on the plaza, but still;


‘I want to cry - just read Naismith’s article and you can’t help but love him, the club, everything. Feels so good and right - lets kick on’

[California-Hibs]

Cant believe the number of people drooling over Naismith on this thread, gies ye the bauk.

He's a good player and he proved it last year. I remember the amount of folk on here who came down on me after I expressed being disappointed that they landed him. 'Hes finished. Crap. Won't do a thing etc.

Hopefully we can keep him quiet and he has a rubbish season

[Stuart93]

He’s a good player and improves them massively with his intelligence on the pitch

Two knee injuries last season surely doesn’t bode well for the future though. Sooner he’s injured again the better

[sauzee=legend]

Naismith has probably turned around and said - I will join if you give me a 4 year deal.
Gives him the security of a long term contract even if he picks up a nasty injury again.
Ask big Marv to hit his and walkers knee as hard as poss when Livi take them on....

[PatHead]

To be fair on those that criticised you, he did only manage about half their games. They did have a point. No one doubts he is a decent player but if he can only manage half the games he could be described as past it.

[neil7908]

He's a good player IF fit. But even then maybe only for another year or two.

Unless they've got him on a low wage or a contract that's heavily tied to appearances its a hell of a gamble.

[King Cosell]

Wonder if Naismith is being set up for the role of coach and CL stepping down with a contract that long.....

No doubt about it, last 6 seasons he's played 13, 13, 32, 3, 16 & 27 games.

He only played 27 games last season, he is a decent player but let's not make out he is a world beater, any half decent player at hearts is going to look good and look out of place

I'm sure he'll be determined to make a difference to their team but two fairly long term injuries at his age is bound to make him worry how long it will be until the next injury. It's huge gamble by them which may or may not pay off but rather them than us. Remember I juries can crop up at any time as we can see with sdg,Lewis and Boyle. If he gets injured again and one or two others which crop up in a season they they will struggle big time.
I'm always wary of making predictions as there are so many variables and one team like Killie perform far better than expected and usually one team underperforms.
I'm very hopeful of another good season for heckys green and white army.

[mjhibby]

Read last few pages on keekback on his signing and not one mentions his injury record. Also more insults hurled towards us than talking about the deal. Loads of quotes from here. Me thinks they aren't over the moon about this four year deal.

Just pointed out to a few Jambo colleagues that the 4 year deal will allow them time to get him fit to play just before the contract expires.......

Kyle McAllister was good when he was on loan at St Mirren last year. He'd be a decent replacement, different style of winger though. Left peg wanting to cut in but can also go on the outside.

[Bob Box Fish]

Watching the Aberdeen game in fairness Ojo looks a really good player and you can see why he was one of Hecky’s top targets. Exactly what we need in the middle of the park.

Hedges looks really good too. Ojo reminds me a bit of McGeough the way he can take the ball anywhere on the pitch and his range of passing is spot on. Aberdeen left back looks decent too.

[Hibbyradge]

Didn’t we get Vela in as oppose to him?

Yes, but only after Ojo had rejected us in favour of Aberdeen.

[huggie1875]

[Robbo6-2]

They still have no midfield and, other than Naismith, nothing up front. Add in Levein as manager.....
We will finish well above them again this season.

Jon Taylor - Free agent after leaving Rotherham, don’t know if it is a case of bringing him up again now Boyler is injured as he was previously linked with us on here.

Grant Ward was the other, again out of contract having just left Ipswich. Just back from an ACL injury though which doesn’t sound the best given Boyle’s injury.

If that was the Hibs team id be very concerned. A 16 year old, a rugby player, two crocks, and a bombscare. Dury out on Washington as hasn't scored in pre season, Walker was poor before he left so lots to prove.

Really hope we replace boyles pace. We are a completly different side when we have an outlet out wide to counter with.

We linked with him, you heard a rumour or is it someone you think would be good?

If we need a speedy winger I reckon we could do worse than Calum Harriott. I was very impressed with him when he was at Charlton but he never got much of a chance at Reading and is a free agent now.

Leaving them with a very old spine to their team. Could be a half decent signing but they’ll not have a lot in the way of legs with Berra, Whelan and Naismith in the team. Not that you need legs on a 7 a side pitch.

[Northernhibee]

Having experienced players like Whelan in your team only makes sense if they also have experience of your club and have grown into that role. They learn to adapt themselves to the style of play with that club and more often than not you end up with a clash; where the advice they have to offer is at odds with what the manager wants.

It works in rare cases (Sauzee, to some extent Grant Holt) but more often than not you have a player who is not only adapting to a new club, league and style of play but no longer has the same energy to do so.

Would be pretty happy if they signed him. It's a lazy signing and it's a Levein signing all over.

[JohnM1875]

I only saw Whelan play a few times last season. Towards the end of the campaign and he looked done to me. Was horrendous against Derby. Really wouldn't fancy his chances in the fast scottish game.

[calumhibee1]

I think that’s the big thing here. Joey Barton was a perfect example that doing well in the English Championship doesn’t mean you’ll do well up here. You need legs. Whelan won’t have that. Look at Barton who was a couple years younger I’m sure.

Had a look on Kickback and they’re delighted. Apparently his legs can’t have gone because he’d have needed them to play beside SJM.. just wow.

[Speedway]

On the basis on two senior players for every position plus a youngster, I'm still expecting us to bring in 3 more players this month.

Whilst I think you could easily level that accusation against Hearts, I think that Hibs have actually done a lot of work to bring down the age of the squad since last season.

I don't think anyone expects Whittaker to be here after this season either.

The long term extensions to Gray & McGregor being an obvious exemption, but this was done for non-playing reasons in the main.

[ac1]

Said on here a few weeks ago I would have offered Whelan a deal but I didnt think we could afford his wages.

Still a good football player

[500miles]

Hearts could end up with a midfield 3 of Haring, Whelan and Naismith. A lot of aggression and experience, but not exactly high energy. They will be looking to get that from Walker and Mulraney, the former just back from a long term knee injury and the latter who manages 30 minutes a match. There's good attributes there, but they might find, like we did at points last season, it will be hard to strike a balance, get support to Ikpeazu up front, while being vulnerable to the quick counter attack.

[04Sauzee]

I'm partly to blame but we have had way to many posts about Whelan and Naismith.

All major Hertz deals are tied in with a wealthy jumbo, like us, Hertz can't afford these kind of deals unless it's funded by an outside source. Lafferty, Naismith were all funded by individuals connected with the club.


I think you'll find this is the case with this player, they are lucky bar stewards they have eejits that are willing to fork out the kids inheritance for short termism.

He did, and got dropped for the 2nd leg and final. However, the fact that the Villa boss started him in a massive play-off game would suggest that (unlike a few on here) he felt he was playing very well in a very successful team at the end of last season.

I hope if he goes that it's one season too many but he's been a very good player.

almost without fail. Virgin media and Sky regularly put costs up by £2-3 and it's all under the guise of "improving the service".

I think we'll arrive at an oversaturation point soon. Football is on every second it seems and people are starting to switch off. Before I moved to the US I was spending more time watching non league than games on the TV. Only time I watched games was down the pub. A few friends of mine back home are feeling the same, hardly watch Chelsea anymore - they'd rather go to Corinthian casuals or whyteleafe etc.

[Tyler Durden]

I think Glenn Whelan can still do a decent job in Scotland and he’s got good passing range. But Levein seems to be following Lennon of last year..... accumulating various decent players but without any real plan or philosophy of how to play.

They seem to be falling into an old fashioned 4-4-2 which might suit their forwards but their midfield will be overrun against the better teams.

On the face of it, they could have a strong first XI though.

That sort of reinforces my point though, that money wouldn't be going to the broadcasters and wouldn't go to the player's wages. The more this happens then the more player's salaries will be capped and reined in. Money doesn't grow on trees and continually exploiting people's hobbies etc. has a tipping point. Think it is close to a tipping point tbh. £80m for Maguire is a farce. Not exaggerating but I think he's the next Smalling. Compared to previous players he is mediocre at best.

On a serious note though, benefactors or not, the Yam aren't half benefiting from FoH money are they?

I wonder if HSL will choose to be a transfer war chest from here and if the fans will finally get on board in large numbers?

There are plenty web-sites that sell preloaded Fire sticks where the games are streamed via the internet. Seeming cost about £60 plus £60 annual fee. You can then get the games without Sky or BT.

I knew a guy in the Mid yoken way back who got me the wee' box for telewest cable that got you all the premium channels. I was watching absolutely every football match available and sickened myself to the point where i refuse to subscribe to sky or BT sports now.....i might get a day pass for "big" games but i kinda resent subscribing when they are prioritising funding the EPL and paying peanuts to broadcast Scottish games. Seems a bit weighted that Scottish subscribers are funding the EPL via Sky and BT.

Before anyone jumps on me with the "why don't you go to the game", i am 63, in poor health and live in South Wales,,,,however i do make the trip whenever i can to see the original green.

I don’t understand where the money comes from. Yes, these teams have an international following...but anyone who has been to Asia or Africa will know that the millions of EPL jerseys people wear are counterfeit...and the games they watch on tv are illegal ppv or streams.

That fee must mean that Maguire is a better player than Van Dijk.







Bwahahahahahapfffttttt hiccup thrrrrppppbwhahahahahaha.........

Hope so

Happy for my monthly contribution to go towards new players

Not too fussed about infrastructure

Genuine question here, as much as if love HSL to be a transfer warchest and something I'd like to contribute to. How would we know that Hibs would not reduce their side of the transfer budget to go into other areas of the football club therfore giving us a similar budget to what we have already?

Infrastructure will be budgeted for Billy. your monies will go to player recruitment as far as i understand

Quite simply we wouldn’t. Wee Ron might have it as his spends for all we know.

We’d ask the club and specifically LD to act in good
faith and use the money for its intended purpose like FoH does.

Fine , i'm not splitting hairs here. If that's an option then fine. FWIW @BILLYHIBS a strong infrastructure is crucial for any organisation to progress

Thanks, was wondering if I was missing something.
I love the idea of HSL becoming a transfer fund. I can't see why we couldn't initially having 4k supporters putting in £10 per moth.
