Maybe not worked out, tbh he's not exactly set the heather alight since coming in.

[Diclonius]

I thought they weren't allowed to recall him as we paid a ginormous loan fee?

[calumhibee1]

Leaves us very short out wide. Boyle is coming back but he’s not even made it on the pitch yet so hopefully not.

[bingo70]

Wouldn’t really be bothered to be honest.

[BegbieHSC]

We only signed him cause Boyle got injured. If Boyle’s back soon, i
Can’t say I’d be too bothered if he left either.

[Nicho87]

Not been given a fair chance imo. Looked decent too me

[Sir David Gray]

Wouldn’t really be bothered to be honest.

There's quite a few I would say the same about.

[MWHIBBIES]

Very much doubt he can just be randomly recalled outside of the transfer window. Both clubs will have had to come to an agreement if loan is terminated. Even then he cant play for Rangers until next window because he wont be registered for them.

[ionahibby]

Maybe not worked out, tbh he's not exactly set the heather alight since coming in.

Hasn’t had much of a run in the team though, so if true suggests something else going on. For a recently signed player loaned or not to be leaving would be very strange indeed.

They would if it's anything personal.

I can't see any team agreeing a loan deal which means he's a guaranteed as a starter, the rest of the squad wouldn't be happy with that.

[The 90+2]

Maybe he’s been told he doesn’t fit into the plans? No point sitting on our bench for the guy I suppose.

[Hibernian32]

Did we not pay something silly like 100k for him? And he could be recalled:aok:

Think it’s quite common for there to be financial penalties if the player doesn’t start, Liverpool apparently charge a huge fee for it (can’t remember how much though)

Not exactly the same thing but could come to the same conclusion.

[we are hibs]

He changed all his photos back ages ago cause of the thick hun bigots were raging about him being in a hibs top because they blame us for their club dying and battering all their players and fans at hampden.

[Smartie]

I'm convinced Mallan has a contract like that.

It doesn't make sense that he has never, ever been dropped when his form has been patchy at best.

Cannot rejoin them until window opens.

Would be ridiculous allowing him to leave even if Boyle is coming back. we’re lacking in the final third and need options.

Boyle Allan And Middleton behind Flo seems good to me.

[DH1875]

Did we really pay a fee for him? If so, how can they recall him? For what its worth, I like him and think he should have had more game time.

Sounds pure shi'ite to me.

[Torto7]

I said we should never have signed him and I maintain that position. Fraser Murray has been treated appallingly by PH. Signing Middleton said all the wrong things to our youngsters. It also gives me the boak doing business with Scotlands shame.

This wouldn't bother me and its got nothing to do with GM personally as he seems like he's a nice young lad. I also think he's more suited to playing through the middle.

He was the wrong signing at the time as he is left footed and plays left wing, he was signed to cover for Boyle, who is obviously a right winger.

Didn’t get it at the time and not surprised it’s not worked out that well so far.

Fwiw I don't think he'll ever make it at the hun.
He's a 'winger' without a trick to beat a man, zero pace and (from what I've seen so far) a non existent final ball.

*This may be partly due to the dross he's along side but I doubt it.

The laddie won't make it as a winger, but he could quite easily be converted into a pretty good attacking midfielder.

I'd been wondering if he might be worth a shot up front, getting onto some of Doidge's flicks?

[DarrenSQH]

Rather play one of our youngsters than him. Hes looked poor.

[Sir David Gray]

I hope he's not going back there in the belief that he'll get first team football any time soon.

He's well down the pecking order at Sevco.

Was never going to be the type we need. I didnt want it only accepting after it was clearly going to happen. I dont know who we play wide but even though its not Fraser Murrays position I thought he should play before G M. Not meaning to be bias but GM better than FM I dont think so . At worst they r equal.

[brianmc]

Ok, thanks for the reply. I don't follow social media that closely (hence my original query).

[Hibee Mac]

The earlier poster is bang on, where the **** is Fraser Murray? Aside from Porteous he is our biggest talent and has stepped up every time he's played this season.

Absolute disgrace that he's not being given game time, what happened to our club identity of developing young players and giving them a platform to shine when they show they've got it.

Instead we've decided to develop a player for Scotland's shame and sounds like we're paying silly money for the pleasure of doing so. What has happened to the decision making at our club recently!?

[hibee-boys]

I was excited when we signed the lad, yet to see what all the fuss was about.

[007]

Maybe he was getting abuse from Rangers fans about having the Hibs stuff so he's removed it.

[brianmc]

The laddie won't make it as a winger, but he could quite easily be converted into a pretty good attacking midfielder.

Yeah, I could see that as a possibility.
He's obviously got a bit of ability.

I just get the feeling he's a nearly man: not tricky or quick enough to be a winger, not sharp enough to be a penalty box striker, not strong enough to be a centre mid... Etc etc.

Don't want to sound like I'm on a mission against the guy but currently I'd file him in the Sam Stanton category of ALMOST a cracking player.

[blackpoolhibs]

He's just another in a long list who's been a downgrade in quality since our new manager arrived, couldnt care one way or the other if he's gone.

[Unseen work]

I like him and think he has a lot of potential.

At the end of the day he’s better than our youngsters in that position hence why we’ve brought him in.

[BegbieHSC]

If he’s not away, is it not a tad disrespectful of him to remove all reference to us regardless? Cause ye know, he’s putting on our shirt, and we’re paying to see him?

[Vault Boy]

A huge number of fans are engaged with social media. There will be plenty.

He had 'on loan at @HibernianFC' on Instagram and Twitter, both gone with just 'Rangers' remaining. As others have said, he has deleted all pictures of him playing for us. Slightly odd behaviour if he's not off, and still weird to do it before anything is announced if it is the case.

[BegbieHSC]

C’mon man! If Gullan decided to delete all the Rovers tweets and references abruptly, I’d see that as a slight on them.

Same rules apply.

[we are hibs]

As i said earlier, his twitter has been like that for a wee while now. I had noticed it myself. Dont think hes away, its to do with the huns foaming at the mouth at anything green and white. Probably cant be bothered with the **** he would inevitably get from them.

The fee is normally the total of the wages to be paid by club being loaned the player. It can be paid by installments. There is a refund of some the fee if the player is recalled.

[California-Hibs]

Even if he stays at this point, I'll be annoyed that he's taken down his Hibs stuff and has plastered Rangers all over his profile again. Regardless of the circumstances of if Rangers have told him (erm, **** that) or if he's been getting too much abuse and decided to do it himself.

Either suspend your account for the during of the loan or better yet, just put up nutural non football pictures of yourself!

I get it football is tribal. But his tribe is Rangers. He’s on loan to us even then he is free to put up what he wants on his social media account as long as it’s not bringing the club into disrepute.

Every angle gets scrutinised these days but ultimately it’s what he does for Hibs on the park. Are we not better focusing on that?

[Ray_]

He can only move during the window, well if he wants to play any football that is.

Absolutely the only thing that is important. Personally would start him every week and don't get why he didn't start Derby or Dons match almost like him and Horgan are being rotated. Which don't think helps either of them.

He looks to me like a winger that’s been told not to lose possession too many times.

It’s all too safe, controls it, passes it inside, works hard enough but that’s not really what I want from a winger.

Reminds me a bit of Danny Handling when he was put out wide. Would generally come on, not make any mistakes but not offer anywhere near enough of a threat.

Middleton's been pretty well received and can't point to any abuse from our fans whatsoever. He's chosen to come and play for us and he's putting in the required effort so there's no reason he should be abused.

I feel a bit sorry for him as he'll have thought he was joining a very different team to carry out a very different role ie join a good team who want to attack. He's joined an atrocious team who have had to resort to getting everyone behind the ball in order to get some sort of foothold in what was (still is) in danger of turning into a disaster.

He could have done with a lot more help from a lot more players on the pitch, none more so than Lewis Stevenson who has looked more tentative and unwilling to support going forward than he has done throughout his entire career with us.

Our current formation seems to suit our current players really badly, none more so than Middleton who has often found himself totally isolated stuck out on the wing with very little chance of managing to produce any sort of end product whatsoever, after his first couple of appearances produced a couple of assists.

Yep, pretty well agree with all of that. He does look isolated, but then at times he looks as if he's playing out of position. He's not really a replacement for Boyle, who's definitely a right winger. Rangers fans I know said he's predominantly left sided or mid.

[mentalhibee]

He’s bang average, I’d rather see a hibs youngster getting a chance over Middleton. I’d understand the signing if he was an outstanding prospect but I’d say Fraser Murray looks a better player and would do just as well out wide. If he’s not proud to have the Hibs stuff on his social media then he can leave.

I wonder how extensive the social media training is and what it covers. They’re mainly young lads we all make decisions that have unintended/unforeseen consequences. But ultimately actions speak louder than words. Let’s see what he can do going fwd on the park that’s the most relevant thing.

[judas]

I was going to say that I am pleased, because I don’t like the idea that we are developing a rivals player.

Then I remembered Hendo.

[Robbo6-2]

I dont care that hes a Rangers player.

He just not very good or better than what we have in our own youth setup

[superfurryhibby]

Whilst acknowledging the poor set up and balance of the side as factors in Middleton’s poor contributions, there is also a clear lack of confidence in his own abilities and lack of football intelligence there too.

To be fair, I missed the derby so I didn’t catch his short cameo in that game, but overall I been unimpressed. He appears unwilling to try and take a man on by going round the outside and using his pace, instead he’s looking for a pass inside, often to a man who is in no better position than him. This was exemplified v Celtic. He had the ball, the defence was quite narrow with a lot of space out wide. He tried to pass inside, the ball was cut out and hit back off him, forcing him to carry on his run. He went straight on and was dispossessed easily. There was the freedom of the pitch out wide. I didn’t understand why he couldn’t work that out. Knock the baw wide, get the head down and go for it.

That scenario sums him up for me, regardless of other factors. Perhaps better coaching could help his decision making. It just seems like basic level game intelligence to me.

I would be playing Murray in that position, or at least giving him the same opportunity to make an impact.

[The 90+2]

I dont care that hes a Rangers player.

Henderson mentioned above took a while to get into the swing of things also and was sub a lot. Games will give the player confidence and there’s clearly a player in there.

[DTS]

I think Middleton is a good option to have, look at the impact he had coming on against hearts the few runs etc nearly scoring. When boyles fit again I hope we see Middleton/Horgan one side and boyle the other that should share the weight of counter pace about. It will be easier to run at defenders when you’re not the only person in the team capable of it. And as much as it pains me I think he’s been hindered with playing on the left as Stevenson has offered 0 in the final third this season, he has looked reluctant to even play a forward pass. But hopefully when boyles back Middleton/Horgan on the left boyle on the right will see an upturn from all 3

[Robbo6-2]

[Centre Hawf]

I don't think he's a bad player. But you have to ask yourself if he was a Hibs youngster putting in those performances would anyone be excited about them as a prospect? Not sure I would.

This is the problem with taking players on loan though. He's with us for a year so unfortunately we don't have the luxury of giving him half the season to get up to speed.

We're effectively improving one of ours rivals players. I'm not crazy about that but if the person coming in is immediately a step above what we have then fair enough.

But if he's getting minutes with us to improve and show his form but our own young guys like Murray aren't then something ain't right.

[ancient hibee]

He shouldn’t need getting up to speed as he’s played fairly regularly including for the Scottish under 21s and a fair number of games for Rangers last season and presumably took part in their pre season.

[Smartie]

There's nothing wrong with his fitness, he's up to speed.

The problem he has is that he's been launched into an atrocious team whose tactics don't suit the personnel. There are a few good players who have struggled in our team this year.

He was very good for the U21s last month and it wouldn't surprise me if he went on to have an excellent career. He won't look back on this spell with much fondness.

He was very good for the U21s last month and it wouldn't surprise me if he went on to have an excellent career. He won't look back on this spell with much fondness.

He also played more central the time I watched the 21s and was very effective in there

Whether he's good enough or not I don't care! But it's disrespectful to hibs to just delete everything. I don't buy into this thing that he's being forced to by the Huns.

Did they make Jason Cummings delete everything Hibs related? No!

He can get ta ******!

Im on the other side. I care that we signed a football player who isn’t good enough. I couldn’t give a damn about their social media accounts.

Whilst acknowledging the poor set up and balance of the side as factors in Middleton’s poor contributions, there is also a clear lack of confidence in his own abilities and lack of football intelligence there too.

To be fair, I missed the derby so I didn’t catch his short cameo in that game, but overall I been unimpressed. He appears unwilling to try and take a man on by going round the outside and using his pace, instead he’s looking for a pass inside, often to a man who is in no better position than him. This was exemplified v Celtic. He had the ball, the defence was quite narrow with a lot of space out wide. He tried to pass inside, the ball was cut out and hit back off him, forcing him to carry on his run. He went straight on and was dispossessed easily. There was the freedom of the pitch out wide. I didn’t understand why he couldn’t work that out. Knock the baw wide, get the head down and go for it.

That scenario sums him up for me, regardless of other factors. Perhaps better coaching could help his decision making. It just seems like basic level game intelligence to me.

I would be playing Murray in that position, or at least giving him the same opportunity to make an impact.


Good summary!
Completely agree with your comments regarding Murray, we should be giving our own youngsters first chance.

The fee is normally the total of the wages to be paid by club being loaned the player. It can be paid by installments. There is a refund of some the fee if the player is recalled.

I think you’re maybe jumping to conclusions. How would you know the terms of the deal? The arrangement could be set up in a multitude of ways.

Apart from the Cummings comparison being utter nonsense.... You don’t care if he’s good enough to play for us but you do care what he posts on social media? 🤔
