Really good player when he is

He’s finished. Legs have gone completely and will be a waste of a wage.

He’s a central defender.

Sure I read he was highly rated when he broke into the team and was linked with big money moves, got injured though and never really won his place back.

[Billy Whizz]

Did he not manage Chelsea when they won the champions league

[JohnM1875]

He did, as interim manager. Be mental to have a champions league winner at Killie!

Not sure if his record since though.

Clarke’s assistant at Kilmarnock is there (can’t remember his name) and will obviously be having a big say as he’s going to be the assistant to whoever they bring in as manager. They are going to obviously get someone that he will happily work alongside with.

Aye, it’s him. I’d imagine he was kicking about the youth/reserve team at Boro during that period.

Laidlaw to Ross County on a 2 year deal.

We can have two right sided CBs though?

In any case would hope he'll be battling it out with Hanlon for first choice.

That's a good deal for Ross at Ross. He can county himself lucky.

I have a feeling Hanlon will be the first to sit out.

[truehibernian]

I have a feeling Hanlon will be the first to sit out.

Not sure about that to be honest. Paul had a decent season and wasn't helped (or protected) by the defensive midfielders in front of him or at set pieces especially - Milligan being the main culprit. More likely to be Daz who is used sparingly (for me), more to do with 'wear and tear' and fitness throughout the season. I think Daz had a solid season too, especially tail end of the season when we needed to grind out results.

[brog]

I have a feeling Hanlon will be the first to sit out.

Not a chance, he's our only left sided centre back. Remember Heck has never seen Ryan play & he's coming back from a big op. I suspect Ryan & Adam will be fighting for 1 spot beside Paul & Darren will provide cover.

[Hibby_G]

Patrick roberts has signed for norwich on a season long loan

[NC1875]

When Porteous is fit and if Jackson is any good, then Hanlon will be 3rd/4th choice CB. He’s just not really as good as some people make out. More average seasons than good ones.

20 year auld laddie and probably made less mistakes than either Hanlon or Mcgregor when he was in, not to mention the fact he’s a lot more of a threat at set pieces for us

[brog]

Not like Hibs Net to take any opportunity to knock our players!

Don’t know where Ryan is in his recovery period, but he’ll not be far away from the 1st team when he’s fitHe didn't really play out of position, he just played left central defence instead of right to allow a much better player in Ambrose to play out from the back easier.


20 year auld laddie and probably made less mistakes than either Hanlon or Mcgregor when he was in, not to mention the fact he’s a lot more of a threat at set pieces for usThats a pretty small sample size though.
Hanlon and McGregor have been brilliant for a long time, I'll be delighted if he achieves what they have.

He also did make mistakes, was pretty easily bossed by Kenny Miller as Dundee got a point at Easter Road

[we are hibs]

Aye that Porteous is rotten. Why did we give him a 5 year deal? Money that could've been spent on signing the new Sean O'Hanlon with all that experience behind him

[steve75]

4th best defensive record in the league was it? And add that to a decent record last year.

Find it funny how much fans look into left/right centre back.

The centre half’s I have played with at various levels don’t seem bothered by it in the slightest.

Seems more a fan problem than one with players.

He is actually the Scotland captain and has been for the last couple of age groups he’s played in.

Most clubs don't have a problem with that tbh, it's very hard to get a very good lefty and generally you'll have two right footers. Ryan is a top prospect but lets not all get ahead of ourselves, he's still pretty raw and it's still best to guide him through this season, he'll be played to give McGregor and Hanlon some time off, squad rotation etc.

[B.H.F.C]

All of our defenders are amongst the best in their position by Scottish football standards.

I think we can improve defensively. The goals against record is good but, and I might be wrong, I think we lose too many goals for the number of attacks we face. Aberdeen last game of the season is a good example, I think they were up the park about three times but had a couple of goals to show for it. Hearts at Easter Road, one chance and it was a goal. Common theme was centre halves leaving centre forwards standing on their own in the middle of the box.

Particularly since Heckingbottom came in, our defence has rarely been exposed because we were so organised in front of them. On the flip side, we really struggled to score goals. I’d expect the midfield to be a bit more open and attack minded come the start of the season.

Bree is supposedly one of the players with a promotion clause in their contracts whose wages have now been increased. I'm guessing Hibs would only be covering a very small fraction of his wages in any proposed loan deal.

It is all about opinions. Personally I'd say you are stretching it by saying he is a "very good" CH as he is prone to the odd mistake and I still believe physically he can be bullied. He is a good SPFL centre half and someone who has done well for the club but no more IMO.

Paul Hanlon. Debut for Hibs at 17, over 300 appearances since. 10 under 19 caps, some as Captain. An astonishing 23 under 21 caps, again, some as Captain & named in a senior squad. He must have gained all these representative honours because he's a Hibs fan. If PH is average then I wish we had a squad of average players.

[NC1875]

We do have a squad of average players. Finishing 5th in this poor league shows that. Hence me saying we can do better. Jeez, you’d think he was a stand out every week the way some people go on. Been poor for most of the season.

[CMurdoch]

Paul Hanlon has played 380 matches for Hibs.
Along with Stevenson he has seen a lot of would be replacements off.
Professional football is brutal and Hanlon has had a good career.

Adam Jackson, our new centre half is 25 and has played only 70 matches.
Can he take Paul's place? It will be tough.

Nobody actually said anything about PH's ability until you stated he was a bang average centre half who got favourable treatment because he was a Hibs fan. After that, Underscore said Paul is a very good centre half. I made no comment on Paul's ability,I merely pointed out his record as a vastly experienced player in the top division in Scotland, along with his outstanding underage representative record. I don't think that is the record of a bang average player & IMO, your assertion Paul receives favourable treatment as a Hibs fan is palpable nonsense.

History tells us Hibernian Football Club do not hand out Testimonial Seasons to many players
So unlikely they would hand one out to a bang average player as you describe let alone a Scottish Cup Winner
Like Lewis players come and players go and Paul Hanlon is still here and will continue to be here

[Unseen work]

No issue with Heckinbottom signing former players as he knows them but I don’t think he will sign too many as there will be different options and he will explore all the leagues to get his right man

Jackson, Hedges, Isgrove, Fryers and Bree all look good players on paper though and seemed to have done well for him.

Good to see another signing confirmed and it’s not even June yet, hopefully a couple more to follow over the next week or so.

Sadly we also have a large squad of below average fans, many of whom know damn all about football and cant wait to berate the players there are meant to support. The good news for you is that you are in that squad.

Like everything just now there seems a lot of views which are a tad exaggerated. Hanlon is neither bang average or brilliant. He is ,like Lewis,a very decent player who makes the odd mistake. He was probably playing when he needed resting but Ryan's injury meant Hecky was loathed to leave him out. Hecky have moved in getting Jackson in and now is well covered at centre half and who knows it could be a back four minus two of the cup winning defence come the start of the season if bree signs. I suspect sir David and the Hulk McGregor won't be playing every week and I'm sure that will prolong their careers. Hecky has said he will be getting loans purely so to get players we couldn't otherwise afford. He's started on the defence,which remember we're superb towards the end of the season but needed rotating but we didn't have the players. Great Hecky is getting guys in early,as he said he would,but let's not go overboard re whether our guys are brilliant or crap. Hanlon goes through periods when he's superb then has blips but it's noticeable when we had our dream midfield the defence stepped up a gear. I think at times they felt pressure as we weren't scoring and if we remedy this then the defence will perform better. Rocky btw looks the best keeper in the league to me so not a bad basis to build the team around.

Paul Hanlon missed almost two months of last season through injury during October and November

On his return he struggled to gain any consistency through probably being brought back too early and not fully fit

Uncharacteristic errors and lapses in concentration crept into his game

I am convinced with a good preseason and an injury free run he will be back to his consistent best in the new season

There is no doubt in my mind that on his A game he is better than Soapy Soutar and the likes in the Scottish Premiership

GGTTH

[Greenworld]

Nobody actually said anything about PH's ability until you stated he was a bang average centre half who got favourable treatment because he was a Hibs fan. After that, Underscore said Paul is a very good centre half. I made no comment on Paul's ability,I merely pointed out his record as a vastly experienced player in the top division in Scotland, along with his outstanding underage representative record. I don't think that is the record of a bang average player & IMO, your assertion Paul receives favourable treatment as a Hibs fan is palpable nonsense.Paul played most of last season whilst carrying an injury. He wanted to rest up but lennon would not let him . He did the best he could but was not 100 % fit ..so not the best season to judge him for me he and Stevenson are of the same mould you get a 7 or 8 out of 10 week in week out

It wasnt long ago that Aberdeen were desperate to sign Hanlon, this was when they were finishing 2nd every season. Also every manager we bring in tends to play him when they could easily bring someone else in.

Scottish Cup winning legend with over 300 appearances. But only gets a game because he is a Hibs fan. Honestly, does any other clubs fans stick the book into their legends like some of ours do. Seen it lately with Stubbs, McGeouch, Cummings and now Hanlon.

I'm not sure the caliber of player some expect us to sign. Watching Hibs since the 80s and Hanlon would probably get a game in any Hibs team during that time.

Some will. A certain element of our support will probably call him a Judas and snake for leaving!

[BSEJVT]

I’ll support Hanlon when he plays. Just don’t think he’s as good as some on here make out. Not allowed an opinion on here it seems though without the football experts telling you you’re wrong. Ones that have probably never kicked a ball.
Glad you know so much about me that you know the height of my football achievements though.
You must be some player !!

You have changed your tune a bit haven't you?

The simple truth is that there isn't a player on the books who is either as good as some think or as bad as others do.

I really don't see though where folk get off on criticising some of our players, Hanlon apparently having taken over Stevenson's mantle as "easy touch for criticism"

I have watched Hibs for over 50 years and there have been plenty short term signings deserving of some criticism, but why folk feel the need to have a cheap shot at someone who has devoted their entire career to the club just baffles me.

Feels like look at me I am controversial stuff so beloved of later generations.

I don't know you from Adam, but if you make a tit of yourself contradicting the opinion of every Hibs manager since he broke through, the Scotland age group managers, the last but one Scotland Manager and managers of other clubs who have shown an interest in him over the years, then you leave yourself wide open to the accusation that you know ***** all about football.

I was (in my opinion) the best right winger never to get picked for any team I played for, but even that was a very long time ago.

Definitely. I remember we lost him to Injury just before that so called relegation derby in that season of seasons and a lot of it might have been down to the rest of the squad around him but I can’t remember ever missing a player that badly as we did him in those last few games. Player’s abilities will always be questioned but very few nowadays will possess the desire and baws that Paul does. Imagine if someone like pogba had half his guts

Bear in mind that it's Reading rather than Coventry we would be dealing with. Reading are not actually desperate for money as their current owners do seem willing to pony up where necessary (in contrast to the last two regimes) but they do need to cut costs as they are perilously close to breaching the FFP rules. I suppose the bottom line is the same though as they won't be in a position to just give McNulty away.

If they were to give him away the unamortised part of his transfer fee would show as a loss in their Profit and Loss account and they'd probably have to pay up a part of his future wages if he was taking a cut. That would probably create a bigger loss than the arse-sitting scenario.

Another loan with Hibs or another club picking up a hefty chunk of his wages seems the most likely outcome to me.

With our stadium, training ground, facilities and having previously worked with the manager, Jackson and Mallan it can surely be the only reason. As well that Edinburgh is far nice and closer to his home than Aberdeen.

With our stadium, training ground, facilities and having previously worked with the manager, Jackson and Mallan it can surely be the only reason. As well that Edinburgh is far nice and closer to his home than Aberdeen.

Like Heck said, let’s get players that want to be here.

Aberdeen have done far better than us over the past however many years and are consistent however think that will change next season and surely he isn’t basing it on that.

Think it will be extremely hard to topple Aberdeen as they can pay higher wages than us and attract a better caliber of player.

That’s my point, will be purely money related why he is going there.

Oh well, Announce Isgrove.

They are simply quoting the one report from the other source. Nothing new in that.

[brog]

If we really want a player then we can compete with Aberdeen on wages. However we can't & won't do it for every player. I don't see us pushing the boat out for a guy who's scored 6 league goals in 5 seasons.

[Stuart93]

Is this the point people start pointing fingers at the board because we’ve missed out on a supposed target who actually might not be target

If Aberdeen really want a player they could offer a good bit more imo.

Theres a reason Aberdeen have finished 2/3rd for the past 6 years etc.

That's just it though its a supposed target. Not sure if we were/are or are nit interested in him.

Still very excited as to whow Heckingbottom will bring in

[CapitalGreen]

Oh well, Announce Isgrove.

Or he’s thinks he’ll have more competition for game time with Horgan and Boyle compared to a GMS-less Aberdeen.

[SHODAN]

I didn't even know we were competing for Hedges until Aberdeen signed him.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

I didn't even know we were competing for Hedges until Aberdeen signed him.

Don’t know if there’s any proof we were!

Just fan rumours and hearsay

But that also could make us sound bitter that we didn’t land him

Mibbies aye, Mibbies no. There's at least 5 players who have been at ER in last 2 seasons who,for a variety of reasons, chose us over Sheep. If the money gap can be minimised then there's a lot of other advantages for Hibs.

[SHODAN]

Shopping list so far (assuming no-one leaves) must be:

First team:
Striker x2
Ball-winning/physical midfielder x2

Backup/rotation:
Striker x1
Winger x1
Right back x1
Goalkeeper x1

We're fine for centre backs and creative midfielders. Mackie will be a solid deputy to Stevenson at left back.

I would hope so considering the rumours.

It's about time we were signing a player from the lower leagues who does well for us.

Aberdeen have recruited well over a number of years and they’ve had stable management.

I do think however, that people are getting carried away with this apparent financial gulf. Their turnover hugely outstripped ours a few years ago. In this past year, we’ll likely have a record turnover and we’ll close that gap. We’ve got the European money, McGinn and improved crowds again. They’ve stood still.

I don’t see anyone they’ve signed in the past 18 months who would be out with our reach now. The difference in wage bill for next season will be less than 10% I’d wager.

Chances the "sleeping giant" club are Sunderland given Jack Ross's previous for being linked with all the same players as us?

[hibeemikey21]

Exactly my thoughts on the English club. Rangers was my immediate conclusion for the Scottish club given McCall’s comments about needing to be mentally strong.

Or just needing to be mental.

[Greenbeard]

The sleeping giant of a club could be Liverpool after last night's performance.
The need to be "mentally strong" at the one Scottish club in the running makes me think it is not us. More like Aaahburrdin.
Being labled a sheep sh*gg*r, understanding the locals and the general smell o' fish about the place. Got to be mentally strong to endure these.

Yes, I agree it sounds like Rangers. Which probably rules us out of signing him.

Good news if he's the standard of player The Rangers are interested in.

[Jones28]

Saw in the gossip column today the Micheal O'Neil was offered a "big" managerial job in 2016 - I wonder if we were the club or if it was Celtic?

That was my original point regarding Hedges, that if he is going to Aberdeen it will be purely down to money.

If it’s not for money you would think
- stadium
- training facilities
- location
- knows the manager, Mallan and Jackson

Would all massively influence him. Fair enough Aberdeen are getting s new stadium and training centre but I feel it so ourely money.

Would be surprised to see another 8 players come in.

Centre mid needs strengthened defensively and imo we also need more quality/squad depth up top and in the wide areas.

Heckinbottom has said a couple of times he wants us better in 1 vs 1 scenarios and to make better use of the ball in the final third.

I actually think for the small squad we have, there is a lot of quality in there, if we recruit well it could be a very exciting season.

Also, is it just me that thinks Omeonga isn’t the answer? Don’t get me wrong he played really well at times and was sharp and won the ball back in good positions. But imo he’s not creative enough to play on the wing or behind the striker and no convinced he was be good enough defensively or have the discipline to play in a 2, which is surprising since Lennon compared him to ****e when he first joined.
Don’t get me wrong if we got the option to sign him without breaking the bank I would, but we need a much more defensive minded player than him in there imo.

I know Shaw gets a lot of stick but I do think he has potential and seems to score if he gets a decent run of games. Not sure Heckingbottom is convinced by him though.

Regarding Shankland, I’m not overly convinced he would do well with us.

[Dunbar Hibee]

Hibs: Hey Marc we can offer you 3k, a guaranteed first team position, working with a great manager under Hecky, the chance to move back to your home town and see all your mates/family, great training facilities/stadium and a chance to make Europe and cement your place in the Scotland squad.
McNulty: Sounds good, I'll think about it
Coventry: We can give you 10k
McNulty: Sold!

Coventry are in League 1 and are skint. They’re paying nobody £10k a week. They’d likely struggle to match what we can afford.

You challenged Winston for saying that Coventry were skint.

He said that they'd likely struggle to pay what we would, which is his opinion based on Coventry's publicised financial situation.

I don't see the controversy. :confused:

Aberdeen have multiple anonymous benefactors donating a combined amount of a few million quid each year.

It's this money that's keeping their turnover high and financing their stadium move and high wage bill.

Last comparison I seen implied they were paying significantly higher wages than both us and hearts.

This is Hibs.net. All arguments can by won by a simple “and how do you know that?”

Intelligent play by the poster imo but lacked that bit of flair that I like to see at Hibs. I think this style of debate is more suited to an Aberdeen or Motherwell forum but it’s results that matter at the end of that day.
