Oops apologies. :greengrin he wasn't the worst but like all appeared to fall out with JC. Pretty sure his last game as manager (Falkirk at home) Antoine Curier was a sub who was subbed not best pleased.

He seemed to be a guy who fell out with a lot of managers, going by the extensive list of clubs he played for.

Its obvious that we havent made any signings because the existing players and club havent agreed a suitable wage cut.

Why has this taking so long? Aberdeen managed to get 20% agreement. Is it the players or the club thats holding this up.

Its without doubt going to effect our preparations for next season. Both of our rivals Motherwell and Aberdeen have strengthened yet we are considerably weaker.

Needs sorted asap

Have Aberdeen actually confirmed it? I only saw it reported once in the Scotsman but nothing else afterwards.

The consultation period for our staff is still due to go on for a couple of weeks yet I think. Going to be a mad rush for signings after that I’d assume.

Are we considerably weaker than we were last season? I don't think we are. Although, I'd agree if your point was that we were weak last season.

I think we will lag behind teams again this season tbh. I do not have high hopes for recruitment. It'll be a Hibs transfer window.

Not sure Motherwell have strengthened. They have signed players but not sure they will prove to be as good as what they’ve lost. For example, they lost their goalie to Newcastle and signed Scott Fox who just finished bottom of the league with Partick.

Do agree we are weaker and need to start fixing that sooner rather than later.

In fairness I do think we are quite a bit weaker

Docherty
Omeonga
McNulty
Naismith
Whittikar
Slivka
Bogdan

The majority of those were/would have been starting games for us if they were fit. Whilst McNulty was poor on his return he wasn’t fit and still contributed with some goals, if he was fully fit he would be a decent addition. The rest were regular starters or rotated between them.

We need quite a few big/shrewd signings to take us to the next level. We have quality still in the squad but we really need players that compliment and get the best of out them.

I have never seen Drey Wright play so can't comment on his ability. Have you Speedway? He may turn out to be a good signing. He played for a top six side last season Hibs are not. Bit of a reality check needed here. If he signs we will have secured a player that played for a more successful side than Hibs. Danny Swanson who has some knowledge about the player reckons he should be fine. Let the lad play!

McNulty wasn't fit because he piled on the weight when not getting a game at Sunderland. Personally I think he's rotten and his stamp in the derby summed him up. Bad professional.

Agree with those players on paper but Whittaker's legs were clearly going/gone. Doherty had good impact but wasn't sensational - had a couple of mediocre games. Omeonga looked nothing like he was the previous season although has quality. Naismith was good but again not sensational. Slivka was a bit part player that rarely showed his ability. Bogan never played.

Most of the players you listed are terrific on paper but struggled to show it for various reasons.

Slivka is one of the most frustrating players I've watched, obvious ability but equally obvious inability to show it in Scottish football.

We need to have a team that has more physicality and drive. I mean Mallan will be back which is a positive in one aspect but also brings great doubt...dont think my TV will survive if I have to watch his opponent waltz passed him with ease.

We have talented footballers that can't tackle and can't focus when they don't have the ball. Add 2-3 players that take real pride in defending and we'll be fine.

Surely a good pro doesn't become so unfit just because he's not getting a game at Sunderland, pretty sure that is why he was not getting a look in there. I thought he looked very unfit in both spells for us.

I agree with all of this, Docherty froze badly in the Derby, Slivka = frustrating, Omeonga likeable lad but looked bang average, Naismith decent cover and Bogdan was here to keep fit by the looks of it.

Not worth the money he'll be on/expect. That's the thing that we all forget in these debates. Why is our squad so small yet had such a high budget in comparison to Kilmarnock and Motherwell? Our players must be paid well. Have they performed at levels fitting of their ability and pay? Not based on our league finish, no. McNulty can be lumped into that, I don't know him but for me he comes across as a nomadic/journeyman type of player that'll have a decent enough career bouncing around clubs.

We need ambitious players that want to use Hibs as a stepping stone. Prove their worth to the footballing world. Too much comfort and routine at Hibs. McGinn clearly loved his time at Hibs but he knew it was shop window and brought out big performances. We need more of that. Attitude and drive.

Would push the boat out for Docherty, he showed in a few games what the midfield lacks. For me, and it's personal opinion which probably wouldn't be the majority, I wouldn't want McNulty or Omeonga back at Hibs. Our midfield needs aggression and height (and physical presence) added, and up front we need a couple more strikers, maybe one with experience and Nisbet :pray: We need a new left back and centre half too (injuries kill us in that area throughout the season).

Docherty is the only one of the three I’d be fussed about getting back. He was terrible against Hearts but his positive contributions well outweighed that.

Can’t see it happening though.

I just think there’s more to come from Omeonga and he’d be a star if he settled down here for 2 or 3 yrs.

He’s a 25 year old with 9 career goals to his name at the giants of Colchester and Saint Johnstone.

Neither club tried hard to keep him at the end of his contract, the last of which he was only fit for roughly 50% of.

Danny Swanson reckoning he’ll do well is not an opinion i take as authoritative.

So yes, forgive me if I don’t rate that one as a signing that’ll shift seasons tickets.

However, my actual comment about Wright was in response to the poster who said we need to make big signings to take us to the next level.

I was insinuating that if Wright‘s pedigree is a barometer for who we’re bringing in, we’ll be lucky to stay at this level never mind ascend to the next one.

Not doubting he has good technical ability Andy, and agree that he has talent - I just think that he does not fit into any midfield combination with any degree of certainty. We concede too many goals from wide areas, and our midfield don't press and close down with any real physicality. At times Omeonga (much like Mallan) totally switches off with their defensive duties, or more critically, stand off and allow players onto them. Neither have the aggression that is needed to dominate the central area. To support your argument, I would concede he has not played a lot of football and not had a pre-season here.

The amount of goals, and draws, we have seen since promotion - I think - is the worst out of any top 6 side. You could argue every area of the pitch needs addressed. The last 3 or 4 transfer windows have been really poor.

He is at the right age of 25 year old to push on. Played for a club that finished in the top six which Hibs did not.

How do you know neither club didn't try hard to keep him? As far as I'm aware St. Johnstone did try hard to keep him and offered him a contract. Quite a few players at Hibs missed up to 50% of the season too. Your point is?

What signings could Hibs make to entice more season tickets to be sold? Have 9000 not been sold already? What signings last season encouraged people to buy 13000 season tickets?

What is the next level you refer too? The top six next season? We have or are about to sign a player from a Premiership rival which makes a change.

I would take Danny Swanson's opinion who has first hand knowledge of the player over yours any day. Swanson is a former team mate and a Hibs fan. What knowledge do you have on the player? Enlighten us all on the forum.

Your need to be offended is making you miss the point.

Poster 1 says we need to sign big players to get to the ‘next level’ (poster 1’s words not mine)

I say ‘next level’? With the pedigree of Wright, we’ll be lucky to keep this level (given that he’s achieved nothing and misses 1 game in every 2 so far in the SPFL). As in, we’re not in a position to sign players to take us to ‘the next level’

You then go off on one.

Former team mates so in a normal world I’d assume it was just a holiday but holidays are not really the done thing these days so wonder if the guy is maybe training with, or signing for Hibs? Out of contract this summer so not outwith the realms of possibility’s.

I absolutely love a random rumour 😁😁

In fairness, looks like he’s been playing for a Swiss second division team which is presumably a very low standard. Can’t see there being anything in it, probably just a holiday.

I agree with all of this, Docherty froze badly in the Derby, Slivka = frustrating, Omeonga likeable lad but looked bang average, Naismith decent cover and Bogdan was here to keep fit by the looks of it.
Docherty is another midfielder who struggles to match runners in midfield. I think he showed against Hearts why he never got near to being a first team regular at Rangers. Omeonga at least knows how to defend when we don’t have the ball, but needs to improve when we do have the ball.

Your need to be offended is making you miss the point.

Poster 1 says we need to sign big players to get to the ‘next level’ (poster 1’s words not mine)

I say ‘next level’? With the pedigree of Wright, we’ll be lucky to keep this level (given that he’s achieved nothing and misses 1 game in every 2 so far in the SPFL). As in, we’re not in a position to sign players to take us to ‘the next level’

You then go off on one.

Could Wright be the next Messi? Yes. Will he be? No.

So let’s wait and see Like you say. I’ll be back to you at the end of the season to see how well he ‘pushed on’.

Tommy Wright was desperate for drey Wright to sign a new deal and there's numerous articles from 2 months back that it was his number one priority to keep him but couldn't match his demands.

It’s honestly better than making any kind negative judgement on them before you’ve watched them.

Not being funny but I’m relying a lot more on Tommy Wright’s judgement on a player he’s worked with for 2 years than yours....or even Danny Swanson who’s played with him. Seems to have been a key part of a St Johnstone side who did unfortunately finish ahead of us.

The point is- you’re guessing and it’s not even educated guessing.

All those guys Motherwell have signed in the past 2/3 years that have done so well .... nobody had even heard of half of them. By your logic they should never have been capable of helping Motherwell into 3rd place.

He’s a 25 year old with 9 career goals to his name at the giants of Colchester and Saint Johnstone.

Neither club tried hard to keep him at the end of his contract, the last of which he was only fit for roughly 50% of.

Danny Swanson reckoning he’ll do well is not an opinion i take as authoritative.

So yes, forgive me if I don’t rate that one as a signing that’ll shift seasons tickets.

However, my actual comment about Wright was in response to the poster who said we need to make big signings to take us to the next level.

I was insinuating that if Wright‘s pedigree is a barometer for who we’re bringing in, we’ll be lucky to stay at this level never mind ascend to the next one.

St Johnstone didn’t “let him go”, he left of his own accord. Before his injury he was their best player and I’ve seen quite a few fans saying he was getting back to his best before the lockdown. He’s maybe a bit raw and a bit of a punt but he’ll certainly do a job. Just because he’s 25 doesn’t mean he can’t improve, look at Doidge- he’s been great for us and has been improving all the time due to playing at a higher level with us

Are we considerably weaker than we were last season? I don't think we are. Although, I'd agree if your point was that we were weak last season.

I think we will lag behind teams again this season tbh. I do not have high hopes for recruitment. It'll be a Hibs transfer window.

Where are you getting your confidence from do you know something we don't, I'm pretty nervous about how things will progress if in fact we do progress.

NAC Breda where Barker was on loan before he came to us. I thought they were pally with Vincent Kompany's Anderlecht in Belgium now. Think they owe us one after Agepong. That was a total disaster. Got all his paperwork wrong so he was late arriving and when he did barely kicked a ball for an entire season. It cost us that season.

But again, my post was less about Wright himself and more about whether his signing signalled a pedigree of signing likely to take us to the next level, which is what the poster I was replying to was saying we should be doing.

Does Wright have the pedigree likely to take us to the next level from where we are and where we’ve been recently? No. He doesn’t.

So I wasn’t saying he’s guaranteed not to improve us, I said it’s likely that he won’t.

It’s also likely that the undefined but presumed ‘next level’ is a regular top 4 finish and European qualification as per the board’s stated intent.

As for Wright being St. J’s best player last year, Hendry was their top scorer , Kennedy their top assist provider and Kerr their top average rated player, so goodness knows where the other poster has got that from.

I too was disappointed with Newell at first, yes he started coming onto a good game and I assumed Heckingbottom was one of the main reasons for our players playing so poorly early doors. I have also noticed he's getting a lot of wee niggly injuries too, another thing to consider. For me Newell is a decent squad player, can play left or in the middle but not a player to take us to another level, I'd add Doidge and Jackson to that list also, decent squad players but not what's needed to get top 4.

On his best days Marciano has been brilliant for Hibs and he might be able to produce that more consistently for another club with the right management.

There’s something about Gogic that just makes me think he wouldn’t be a great fit at Hibs. Don’t get me wrong he was brilliant for Hamilton last season, but I think from watching Hibs for years
you get a sense of players that will come in, fans will take to and will do well and I’m just not convinced with him.

Hes everything we’ve lacked for two years in the middle of the park, but I’m not sure on the ball he would be good enough which would make a lot question him imo. I think we need someone with his defensive ability but also a bit more technical and comfortable in possession - appreciate they’re hard to come by.

Im not saying we shouldn’t sign him or he’s a bad player, I just usually get a feeling you can telll who will succeed at hibs.

Agree with the poster about Newell, he was brilliant when he went to centre mid and I think him with a ball winning midfielder would be a really good blend.

Doidge is easily good enough at this level. We don’t find someone who can score that number of goals, who can also hold the ball up better than anyone we’ve had for ages, without spending a lot of money. As soon as Heckingbottom was away and we started using him properly he never looked back.

https://twitter.com/craigvickers_/status/1278294026999992327?s=19

This is interesting. Would love Naismith back but understandably we'll have other priorities first, glad that McGinn is on there too.

I actually thought Stephen McGinn would have been someone Ross would have been interested in based on what he’s previously said about him, thought he would have been a target for us in January so was surprised when it was actually Paul we signed.

He really isn't very good. Championship player

It's a fan forum where people voice their opinions. If we can't comment on players then shall we just close down the thread? I don't really see what the issue is. No one is hammering the player or Hibs, just making a comment. Plus, this is a guy who has played in the SPL so we have a reasonable amount of information to base an opinion on.

Do we always have to be positive? It's not North Korea, surely questioning and dissenting voices are OK?

Not at all, and surely that means I'm entitled to call out some posters contiued negagativty? It's a forum for debate.

What kind of player is he?

Young English striker who is a very good finisher, skilful and strong for his size.

Done well out on loan for Morcerambe and Oldham but not as good for Shrewsbury of late. Think he’s the type our fans would really take to.

https://youtu.be/hd1LelpFPjc there’s a glimpse of what he can do.

I actually think the only downsides to his game are dribbling, his pace & at times his composure in front of goal. I think he links up play really well by winning flick ons & holding up the ball.

Mind you if he had all that as well he wouldn’t be playing for hibs

Same here, I gave him a lot more of a free ride than most when he wasn’t scoring because the rest of his game was actually good. His movement and hold up play are two of the best parts of his game

You can't just take away a strikers goals, though. You wouldn't say "without the saves Rocky is average"

As for Marciano his saves are his best attribute but he's rubbish at kicking and a bit pants at coming for crosses, if he had a full all round game he wouldn't be at Hibs. Basically what I'm saying about Doidge.

Because lots of quality players will be begging for contracts. It’s quite easy for each club to go with a slightly smaller squad next season to save money, but that means that lots of players will find it harder to get a contract.

Being reported as 1.8mil - Good business for Stade Reims if the lad reaches his potential - Can't imagine there's many 6'5 strikers in French Ligue 1 with a touch as good as his.

Haven't heard anything, Ross will know him well, a better footballer than given credit for and a right nasty *******. I'd take him but can't see it

Ross had a season of him at Sunderland and didn't play him as regularly as you'd expect so I'd be surprised if he was training with us as anything more than a gesture of goodwill.

Played 11 games for VVV Venlo in Eredivise last season and is out of contract.

36 games he played under Ross, scored 7 goals and only the 14 bookings 😁 The games he missed were probably suspensions 😁

Anyway we can file this one under not happening

Seen Simon Murray in Asda at new haven at the weekend, I’m assuming he’s still got a flat here from his time with us.

I swear he scored for Northampton the other night.

Please don’t let the Lee Cattermole rumour be true.

Think he would have the same effect as Whelan, Barton etc - I.e absolutely none and leave after a couple of months.

They took it off the PM board so it's not necessarily rubbish. Just stolen, repurposed as their own knowledge and chucked out into the void. Funny wee life to lead.

Shaugnessy would be a really good signing for St Mirren, I think he would even be a good signing for us tbf.

Hastie would be decent for Hearts and Motherwell too.

Two signings I’d be more than happy for us to make.

Hopefully we get 1 or 2 good signings in over the next couple of days, would give fans more of an incentive to buy season tickets

Scott Fraser also released from Burton Albion after refusing a new contract, good player but probably too similar to what we have in the middle of the park.

Hastie would be a very Scott Allan-ish signing. A good player that's lost their way a bit having a season in the championship

We are no more cash strapped than any other club - in fact we are better positioned financially than most. That said I do expect he will go at some point but no rush especially as the window has been extended.

Oh I know, it was more just a dig at the Sun talking ***** after our wage cuts were announced. Selling Flo should assist in getting new players in/sorting out the wages for the current squad. Maybe he’s reluctant to go until he gets an offer from a club he deems big enough.

This can be the only reason for no real Activity in the transfer market .

Not so sure think players just move on pretty quickly from these things. Will just be that Hibs haven't received an acceptable bid or they have and Flo doesn't want to go to that particular club. Sure it will sort itself out in time.
