Craig Gordon to Hearts.

And, seems as though Boyle is definitely off to Celtic, but Griffiths still not right so probably not coming to us

You'd think that Gordon would be happy to sit and take the payday at Celtic - he can't be far off retirement at 37

I saw Vela playing against Reading at the start of last season and he was a standout - involved in all Bolton's attacks and made the only goal of the game with a cracking ball over the Reading defence. If we can get that Vela playing we have a real star on our hands.

The only other player I remember seeing was Newell and I was also impressed with him as a counter-attacking midfielder - making himself availabe and moving the ball on quickly. Not a winger though. I might also have seen Jackson, but can't be sure.

That's interesting because I too have witnessed Vela linking up well on occasion - in a Hibs shirt that is - when we've been in possession. Unfortunately where he has been as much use as an ashtray on a motorbike is in breaking up play and tracking back when NOT in possession - ie exactly what we all somehow expected him to be good at and what the team needed following the departures of Bartley and Milligan. Ultimately I suspect that, like Doidge and Newell, Vela is not nearly as useless as we have made him out to be but, similar to Newell, is a completely different player to the one we somehow expected him to be. We are already replete with creative talent in that area and Vela is at the back of the queue at the moment - not necessarily a bad player but a bad signing - time for him to move on if at all possible.

You think calling him the Vegan Nish was meant as a compliment? Anyway, Im the wrong one to ask, I didnt give him the name.

Honestly, people would argue about Hibs playing in green in this place :faf:

There’s plenty room for improving that midfield and a new defensive midfielder along with Omeonga would be ideal imo.

Regarding Omeonga’s Instagram story.



I’m not wanting to be a creepy guy here but looking at the photo he is on a Ryanair plane flying over the Swiss alps. A Ryanair plane took off from Milan at 6am our time and landed at Edinburgh at 8.10 am..

According to Instagram he added the photo to his story approximately 5 hours ago, now assuming he took the photo and added it to his story while in the air it would not actually upload until the plane had landed and he received 4g signal.

Now if the plane landed at about 8am that is... 5 hours ago......

Therefore with my detective hat on I can 100% confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that Omeonga was on a plane from Milan to Edinburgh today.


EDIT: To add further you can see the reflection of the sun in the wingtip of the plane, the sun is rising on the opposite side of the plane to him, ergo the plane is flying north over the Swiss alps and not south.

Good work Hetty Wainthropp.

Fingers crossed.

Is that saying he raised the price because he has a higher offer elsewhere?

Would that mean it's permanent rather than loan?

Would be an excellent signing for us, get a DM & pen box striker and id be delighted. :aok:

Omeonga has plenty of dig. Good positional sense, can tackle, excellent at reading the game and making interceptions.

As a bonus he then starts us off playing football at pace too.

Yeah.

To the player or his club though.

I read that as him turning it down for a better wage. He wouldnt do that for his club surely.

Wherever he's going, hopefully it is us, it looks permanent to me.

Only 6 months left on his deal i think, so could be signed pre-contract.

He's so good, Trabzonspor released him from his contract early, in gratitude for the goal he scored in his 8 games for them.

Worrying... looks like he's capable of increasing the goals per game ratio for them

EDIT: To add further you can see the reflection of the sun in the wingtip of the plane, the sun is rising on the opposite side of the plane to him, ergo the plane is flying north over the Swiss alps and not south.

Regarding Omeonga’s Instagram story.


I’m not wanting to be a creepy guy here but looking at the photo he is on a Ryanair plane flying over the Swiss alps. A Ryanair plane took off from Milan at 6am our time and landed at Edinburgh at 8.10 am..

According to Instagram he added the photo to his story approximately 5 hours ago, now assuming he took the photo and added it to his story while in the air it would not actually upload until the plane had landed and he received 4g signal.

Now if the plane landed at about 8am that is... 5 hours ago......

Therefore with my detective hat on I can 100% confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that Omeonga was on a plane from Milan to Edinburgh today.

Some much needed energy to the midfield. Perhaps we will go old school and have midfielders with mobility all over the park rather than attacking and holding players. Boyle, Hallberg and Steph can cover plenty yards. You don't necessarily need a destroyer like Marv but there does have to be protection for teh back 4.

With the late contact from us, do we think this is a replacement for Mallan with another defensive midfielder to come in? a diamond of

...........New DM.....
Hallberg...........Omeonga
...............Allan......

Looks very good on paper (Providing the DM is good).

Plenty of legs, aggression, reading of the game and all comfortable on the ball. Would be solid defensively and able to play and at pace.

Issue would then be playing 2 out of Doidge, Kamberi and Boyle up top. For me I think he would want Doidge and Boyle to play off of him.

Unless he’s looking to change formation.

Outstanding detective work from saul goodman. Brilliant.

I must say, though, i think because omeonga is an energetic player and a likeable character he is remembered as being better than he is.

I'm not disappointed he has signed as he gives us a different option but i'll be very, very disappointed if he is the only midfielder we bring in. We really need a leader and some power in the middle of the park so hopefully more to come.

As much as I like Flo, I dont think he's as good as some make out, seems a bit moody and can be very inconsistent, he'll be a high earner too. The fact they wanted to pay over 2 windows seemed to be the reason it was knocked back, so maybe a fee was agreed

I'm sure I read that Brentford had him watched at some point, could be them.
I'd like to think we'd hold out for somewhere in the region of a couple of million for Flo. I know he splits opinion but I think we're a better team when he's playing. His decision making sometimes leaves a bit to be desired but when he's on form he can be unplayable.
Bit of a risk if we sell him this month without having a replacement lined up - although admittedly I have absolutely no clue whether we're close to bringing in a striker or not.

Wouldn't say no to that. Flo can be brilliant or not interested. McNulty is a quality finisher. Maybe we could replicate that superb winner v at Johnsons when Steph played that sublime pass and mcnultys finish was superb too.

Hertz have signed a Kosovan called Donas Avdijaj. My hubby picked him up from his hotel, with his agent yesterday. Said he had signed 3 days ago. He seems to get the impression Hertz are a top 4 team...someone better tell him 😂😂😂

Was hearing about him today.

He’s been pied by his last couple of clubs I think and scored about 10 goals in 4 years or something.

Would've been great to get him back in. Actually think we will see him.back next season. It's a great opportunity for him to play in Italy but its not really doing him any favours bouncing around clubs each transfer window. He really needs to put down roots and push on with his career.

Given our pursuit of Hendo was in addition to Omeonga's return, it's fair to say we're being plenty ambitious and proactive. Shame it didn't work out, but onward to new targets.

A bit stupid playing in the 2nd tier of Italian football in front of average home attendances of less than 5,500 (worse than St Mirren) at Empoli rather than playing in front of 17,000 at Easter Road.
Will improve his Italian and kid himself on about making it there for another wee while before returning to Hibs, Aberdeen or Hearts.

Hibs turn down bid for kamberi from lech poznan in EEN. Apparently wanted to pay some this window then the rest in the summer

Can't see Lech Poznan offering decent money to Hibs for Kamberi.
A team whose attendances have increased by 50% this season and are still smaller than those at Easter Road.
Based on nothing, I would guess at £200k tops which isn't worth a sook to Hibs in January for one of our strikers.

On the face of it I agree that it does look a lot better but broken down not quite so much.
50 million a season in Poland (which gives the TV rights to all 296 league matches) divided by 16 top division teams averages 3.1 million each. 32 million a season in Scotland (which gives TV rights to 48 Premier league matches and 6 playoffs) divided by 12 top division teams averages 2.6 million each. I realise that's an average and depending on finishing position that might change but the difference is only about 500k a year per team.
Throw into the mix the lower attendances there and I don't think there's much between the 2 countries.
Lech might have a bit of money from other sources, they do seem to qualify for Europe regularly but I'm not sure they'll have much more money kicking about than we do.

I think (particularly in January) we'd be crazy to consider any less than a million. Personally I'd be looking for around 2 million before I'd let him go (but then I am bias).

At first look a 50% better TV deal but there is far more to it than that.

How much cash each team receives depends on how the TV money is split up.
They have 16 teams in their top league compared to our 12 which dilutes the money.

Average attendances in Polands top league are 9,000 compared to 15,000 in Scotland.
Additionally I suspect the gate and season ticket prices are drastically different in the 2 countries.

All 296 top division in Poland matches are televised whereas in Scotland only 48 matches (plus play off matches) are televised live.
That equates to 6 times as many matches being televised in Poland but only receiving 50% more money so their TV deal is much poorer than it at first appears.

Can you add any other detail to further clarify?

*** Jonny has beaten me to it!
The only extra in my post is the reference to season ticket and walk up prices and their different levels in the 2 countries.

Yeah, it would have to be big money and probably not until summer.
The elephant in the room is he only has 18 months left on his deal.

An average top flight Polish team will get a far bigger TV revenue than one of the "bottom 10" teams in the top league in Scotland as it will be more evenly shared there.

Once pooled, a significant proportion goes to the top 2 teams in the league though, with all of the others miles behind.

Or have I got this wrong?

We could have changed this but that Aberdeen dick refused to.

That’s no longer the case now. The other clubs changed that when old Rangers died.
Aberdeen refuses to change the voting system but they did manage to change the tv distribution.
