Its a McGeouch type we need.
Not getting a game for Aberdeen at the moment. I’m not sure McCorie is the answer but he has looked neat and tidy when I’ve seen him. Shame his brother is on loan and Livi we could have went for a double swoop!

No idea tbh. He was ripped to bits when they lost in the playoffs. Do they really want him on loan again? If so I’m surprised.
Never played in either play off game. :aok:

Our manager sees the players every day and I have every faith in him to get the right type of player in. I really hope we get Docherty as he has a good engine. McCrorie is decent as well so delighted if we can get both.

A double deal from Ibrox - the new Ally Scott & Graham Fyffe?
If our coaches have decided Stirling and Campbell aren't up to it, then a defensive midfielder signing like McCrorie makes sense.
We need back up / competition for Gogic and having two solid players in the middle wouldn't hurt for difficult away games.
If we can get Docherty, then surely that's the end of the line for Hallberg and Murray.
Like others, I'm not so keen on developing players for Rangers to sell to someone else next summer but that may the only way it can be afforded.
Maybe we should just try and get Omeonga back instead?
Omeonga should be at the top of the list,better than both mccrorie and Docherty.

I can see where you are coming from. When he was playing with Belgium under 21s I thought he could go on to be a big star.
I think he’s got it in him to be much better than he showed in the last spell and to be one of the best players in the league. Remains to be seen if he pushes on though. I think the other 2 are possibly safer bets but with less potential.

Our midfielders have too narrow a focus., either attack or defend. Newell is arguably a bit of both but hasn't got the energy of Docherty. He would be a top signing imo

Yup. Stronger, quicker, better eye for goal
If we were signing a player who is 22 this month and who has played a little over a dozen Championship games for Arbroath and Alloa we'd be horrified. That's Ben Stirling's stats.
Those are Ben Stirling's stats because he's a full time player with Hibs. If he was on a contract at Arbroath/Alloa for last 2 seasons he would now have as many championship appearances as Kevin Nisbet & would be a year younger!!

He never really got a run of games before it shutdown,boys a touch of class.good in tight spaces,bags of energy.I like doc for sure but I'd prefer omeonga.I totally agree defo a very decent prospect in omeonga.it's all about opinions boys.ross clearly agrees wwith some opinions, as mentioned doc kept him out the team.

I really don't get that. If Wikipedia is accurate then Stirling played 6 for Alloa and 7 for Arbroath last season. Nisbet played 25 for Dunfermline. If you want to increase Stirling's figures by adding in another Championship loan spell that didn't happen then it's rather distorting them. Anyway, the point is that he hasn't yet made it at Hibs and there's nothing at this moment to suggest that he will. It's perfectly normal to hope that home-grown players will succeed but at some point you have to move on. I was disappointed to see Shaw leave but he's done nothing so far to suggest that Hibs made a mistake in letting him go. At the time I thought that swapping Harris for Boyle was an error - I was spectacularly wrong about that.

Agreed. I thought either an engine or a mcgeouch it's more an mcgeouch
IMO its definitely a McGeouch type alongside Gogic. Take the ball, move it around, keep it.

No probs, I'm merely pointing out that Ben's primary place of work is Hibs. He almost certainly played more development games for Hibs during his loan spells than he did for Arbroath/Alloa. IIRC we brought him back from Arbroath because we weren't happy with where he was being played & because of the shutdown he only played a few games for Alloa after going there at start of this year. My mate's an Alloa fan & he raved about Ben. I'm not saying Ben will make it at Hibs, all I'm saying is if he wasn't at Hibs & had been on Alloa's books for last 2 seasons, his appearances/stats would be a lot higher, Wikipedia can be deceptive. FWIW I've only seen Ben in the flesh once, at Brentford last December. He played very well though the standout for me was Jamie Gullan.

06-08-2020, 12:02 PM
As has often been the case with Hibs, I feel we are only two - three players away (starters) from being a decent side. Two would be enough to challenge for third, if Boyle stays. I suppose many of our rivals think the same, there's not much between a large number of the sides in our league.
Docherty and a good left back would just about do it for me.

Yep Gullan and now Doig have definitely motored ahead. I'd imagine that Stirling will still play for the Development if we line up any games. We don't seem to have many defenders signed at that level.
On the McRorie front, the EEN are reporting that he wants a permanent deal.

I think we have more than enough to challenge for third, as it stands. That’s not to say it’ll happen but I think we’re one of the few teams who have a stronger squad. Less in numbers, but better quality wise. And still time to improve it further.

I was on the fence about Omeonga until that game but after that I really am not fussed in the slightest if he came back. Flattered to deceive and all the running about in the world doesn't cover up the amount of times you give the ball away or get pushed off it. I know as a team that night we were awful but he was a man short. I think we got caught up a bit by his enthusiasm and the fact he seemed to "get" the club.

McRorie will be out of our price range for a permanent move, as will Docherty in all likelihood.
It's all very well saying you'd prefer a perm move, but if a loan is all we can afford it's better than not adding to the squad, particularly in an area that's desirable.
Mallan/Allan/Newell whilst they have some different qualities, are pretty similar Centre Mids.
Gogic and Hallberg are our points of difference, and I sense that JR wants to move Melker on, which to me feels harsh.

Hallberg to me is quite similar to Slivka in that he's a jack-of-all trades, master of none. Both do a bit of everything without ever having a massive impact on the game, have either of them ever been man of the match? Genuine question.

Agree with you to an extent, but Hallberg had a few games where he looked really good when Ross first came in playing at the base of the diamond.
Probably not his best role, but he was able to control the game from deep and make a few good interceptions. Think he's a wee bit more switched on defensively than Slivka, as I can't remember him ever being trusted as the single holding player in a midfield like hallberg was in those games.

He wasn't man of the match but he had an excellent game playing in the role I described above against Aberdeen.
Playing in a diamond with Mallan, Boyle and Allan he was pretty much the only midfielder on the pitch for us with any proper defensive responsibility. To be able to do that against a team like Aberdeen shows you have some quality imo.

Rangers loan players:
Middleton was adversely affected just as Newell, Doidge etc were by being here when Heckenbottom was making a mess of the tactics.
Docherty - he is the guy Hibs need to build the team and midfield around. He is the nearest to McGinn that we could ever afford. Solid, good engine, hungry, no significant injury history. Only 2 things that could stop him coming here 1. Rangers want more money than we can afford right now 2. The player would like to get a team in the English Championship. Worth £400k.
Tin hat on, perhaps a swap for Boyle with £600k coming this way with Docherty. Boyle has 9 months left on his contract and is not going to sign another.
McCrorie - for once I don't have an opinion on the guy. I have not been aware of him other than his name. Accordingly, yes to a loan and no to a permanent. Very average players can come from very big clubs. Once you sign them permanent you are stuck with them.
I, similarly, have no clue about McCrorie. So I've just asked (emailed) a hun work-colleague (are we still allowed to say that? I think so) whose judgement on players I trust, even though he's obviously a bit rabid from time to time (as it's genetic). Anyway, he said (and I quote):
"Crackin player surprised we're letting him go to be honest.
Can play Def mid, centre half and played RB for Portsmouth last season.
Total athlete and probably better than anything you have defensively."
So, I suppose that's quite encouraging if - and it's always a big 'if' - there is any truth in what, after all, is a Daily Record story.

Your work colleague may well be right but they said the same about Middleton. Jack Ross tried to sign him for Sunderland but he went to Portsmouth instead so he clearly likes him and he'll be a better judge than me. Like a few others I've only heard his name and couldn't say what he's like.

Depends on who you listen to. My mate who is a season ticket holder thought Middleton was murder and managed to get some games for them on the basis that he gave them a bit balance, being left footed. More complimentary about McCrorie although only playing centrally. Be it midfield or in defence.

We could possibly do a small price deal with a sell on % like we did with McGinn.

I don’t think Omeonga is a Jack Ross type of player. I think JR prefers tall athletic types - look at McGinn, Gogic and promoting young Doig. The two from Rangers would fit the bill and I would support their signings if they came to pass because we need to be able to stand up to the physicality of the two top teams in particular and the rest of them. We have been kicked off the pitch too often in the past.

I liked Hallberg when he came in, had a decent pedigree and looked fairly classy but he's turning into another Slivka, never imposes himself in a game and still don't really know what type of midfielder he really is. If we have to move him on to become a better team, then so be it, there won't be a shortage of clubs over in Scandinavia wanting him. Started at Kalmar and got his move to Udinese but out on loan for 4 years before coming to us, plus a Sweden Internationalist.

Why at the bottom end of the transfer market is there so many undisclosed fees? Whats the angle/benefit to the buying /sellling club.I just want to know what we got for Kamberi rumour £150,000 or what Hearts got for Clare rumour ????.Why do clubs not just say they do at the top end of the market ?
Your not entitled to know. Dougie Cromb was told a group of us getting a tour around ER that none of the fees Hibs had paid under him were ever released to the public and that every sum guessed at in the press was wrong. I'd rather Hibs kept it secret anyway, agents and players occasionally spill the beans these days if the fees are something to brag about.

Think it’s more likely they’ve lost Kamberi, Defoe injured, only signed the new boys days ago so that’s a few missing players from their squad. McCrorie can play as a homegrown player so makes up numbers.

Celtic are in talks with striker Lyle Taylor, who is a free agent after leaving Charlton.
I’d expect Celtic to be going for better. Did he not have a “life changing” offer that he stopped playing for Charlton after the restart

Not 100% sure of UEFA’s rules, McCrorie is from Rangers’ own academy and their own homegrown, Docherty came through at Hamilton, therefore not sure if it stipulates just any academy in Scotland or that clubs own. May be other reasons that he’s in the squad but the fact he’s quoted tonight shouts complying with the rules to me.
Rangers could only register 3 new players, they registered Firth (keeper), Jones and Helander. Those players had to be registered as a domestic player on February 3rd (Docherty wasn’t), McCrorie doesn’t need registered due to him being from their own academy.

Don’t think you need them, but they don’t take up a place in the 25 man squad that you have to declare. Therefore if rangers only had 18/19 players available that are registered, then bringing McCrorie in makes sense. Docherty couldn’t be brought in as he wasn’t from their own academy and was registered for hibs in February.

Fair call. I think Jack Ross has a real favour to play McGinn and sadly I think Boyle will be off. One thing in McCrorie favour is versatility

Shame if true as he is a player with real drive.
Did well bar the Hearts game and I think there is loads more to come from him if he gets a run of first team games.
Think he would compliment Gogic, Allan and Newell very well and be a huge asset if we can get him.
FWIW I heard opposite to not wanting to be here. Loved his time here and would love to come back if an appropriate deal can be struck. I fear however the wages may be a stumbling block.
He was quoted in the papers whilst here as saying it was a brilliant dressing room and atmosphere.
Just need to keep fingers crossed.

That’s 100% correct. Doc didn’t want to come. But he 100% enjoyed being here. He’s also not going to be pressing for a move back as wether we like it or not it’s admitting he’s having to come down a level.

Strange motivation if that’s the case. Stay where you are, play very occasionally, make up the numbers and pick up a wage or move to a smaller club and be the star of the show for probably not as much money but not ***** wages.

Mentally its admitting you arent as good as you thought you were, or your development hasnt gone the way you'd hoped. I can understand someone having that mindset, his motiviation needs to be about going down a level to reset and push his development on by playing more. A move down south probably allows him to save face tbh. BUT if we do get him here I've no doubt he will give it 100%.

Given that he is not playing at Rangers, it really isn't a step down. I can understand fans viewing it that way, but he is a professional footballer who, if he stays at Rangers, doesn't look like he will be playing any football.
If his only two options are sitting on the bench/in the stand at Rangers, or playing for Hibs, and we assume the wages aren't massively different, then it should be a no brainer for him.
If he has offers from England that he prefers then it of course changes things.

Regardless of whether he wanted to be a Hibs or not, I think Docherty conducted himself in a mature and respectful way whilst at the club, which is all we should really be asking for from a loan player. He obviously has talent but I’d not lose any sleep if he didn’t come back as I don’t think we’d get enough bang for our buck. He’s a prime candidate for heading down south and having one of these fairly anonymous careers but will earn a few quid in the process and maybe get on a Si Ferry podcast.

The only two realistic options up here for Docherty are Hibs and Aberdeen and they don't seem interested and neither does he. So it's down south to be lost in the vast lower leagues or Rangers reserves. Personally I'd have him back but if he doesn't want to come I won't be losing sleep over it

Agreed! He may also desire to play in England but despite doing well at Shrewsbury it doesn't seem as if there's any huge interest in him down south. Given it appears he would want a
Championship club at least, then I think we may end up being a pretty decent option for him.

Big game for us tomorrow. Transfer-related, I was at almondvale for the new year game v Livi, where Jack Ross gave Fraser Murray a big chance to make an impact, coming on at 0-1 in a flat game. First thing he did was lazily give the livi right back (good player) too much space, not closing down. Livi boy whips in a cross with a good bit of quality and it's 0-2.
That was the moment I thought "lacks hunger to succeed here" about Fraser.
Would love nothing more than to be proved wrong but games like that, chances to impress like that, dont come round often at a club as big as Hibs

Disappointing.
You would think Boyle would like to get a move sorted out ASAP, last thing he'd need is an injury that could scupper a move. The good thing about Boyle is he will give Hibs 100% when he's in a Hibs shirt

EXCLUSIVE: Alfredo Morelos to Lille is a DONE DEAL. Personal terms agreed and total agreement between #LOSC and #Rangers reached.
The fee is €17m (plus add ons) for Rangers. Medicals to be completed in the next few days and the official announcement is expected this evening.

Doubtful but probably acceptable if Boyle going to leave anyway.
Doubt we can afford Jones and Docs wages and would hair to see Boyler playing for Sevco

I know it happens every transfer window but I think Griffiths time at Celtic is up. Locked horns with Lennon, supposedly in talks with West Ham striker, fletcher and Lyle Taylor. Dunno if a move down south away from his kids would be in his best interests. Could also potentially damage rangers title challenge. Looking from the outside it makes sense

I, similarly, have no clue about McCrorie. So I've just asked (emailed) a hun work-colleague (are we still allowed to say that? I think so) whose judgement on players I trust, even though he's obviously a bit rabid from time to time (as it's genetic). Anyway, he said (and I quote):
"Crackin player surprised we're letting him go to be honest.
Can play Def mid, centre half and played RB for Portsmouth last season.
Total athlete and probably better than anything you have defensively."
So, I suppose that's quite encouraging if - and it's always a big 'if' - there is any truth in what, after all, is a Daily Record story.
I think the term 'work colleague' is still allowed.

Couple of things I noticed about Ross’ interview;
He mentioned being frustrated about him and Aberdeen only bringing in a couple and having lost quite a few players but other teams had brought in a lot more. Was that a sly dig or did he not word it the way he wanted to? My thoughts is telling me it was more frustration at the press having a go at hibs for recruiting when asking players to reduce wages and not the board for not sanctioning more moves. Thoughts?
He also didn’t rubbish the Docherty and McCrorie rumours, just acknowledged there’s a lot of them and he won’t comment until it’s a done deal.

I don’t think it’s sitting on a lead at all, just natural the opposition will have a spell on top when they’re trying to get a goal.
We had a lot more good chances than Killie did;
Boyle from Newells pass
Newell shot x2
Nisbet shot - Although a hard chance, if Gogic played the pass to Wright he was 1v1. A poor decision from him.

Have to say, Jack Ross looked pretty downbeat regarding player additions, he seemed resigned to no additions to the squad even with the money recouped through Kamberi’s departure. FWIW we do seem to have a surfeit of midfielders, Mallen, Halberg, Allan, Newell as well as the younger squad players, only Gogic seems a more defensive type.
if we are making no more additions as seems to be the case, then the fitness of Gogic is pivotal in that defensive role.
Must say Jack Ross did look frustrated but loading the midfield with more players Of a similar type is clearly not the answer.

Still think players will go which will allow players to come in give Ross the balanced squad that he wants and needs.
He must have known the budget and was still happy to pay a transfer fee for Nisbet.

I don't know why that jambo welt Brian McGlaugin is allowed anywhere near our pressers. I'm sure Jack will know his jambo credentials during his time at tiny castle. Ater all it was Brian "that revealed that up to 70 jobs were under threat" during a recent sportsound jambo deflection / love in, and it was swallowed as gospel and reported in the scottish media. He was asking negative questions hoping to get negative answers and I think Jack was being cautious with his answers. I remember Leeann having a dig at his questions towards her, I can't remember the occasion, but I think she put him back in his box. I'm sure Jack was guarded in his answers more than anything. He seemed to answer other q's from other people with a smile on his face. Any negativity picked up by the jambo welt would be on Saturdays sportsound.

Griffiths is an exceptional player, but also comes with a lot of baggage and maintenance required. If he’s made his money and wants to return it would still be a massive investment from us and I’d be looking to have him on a contract heavily weighted towards bonuses and a lower basic wage.

Just looked on twitter he got 4 of his girlfriends friends round for a girlie drink for her birthday, most saying he done nowt wrong but he's meant to be in sports bubble.
It's also more than three households, so against the rules. Not a dig at you, but why can't people look at the guidance and stick to it?
Griffiths, his girlfriend and her mates are selfish twats.
We'll back in lockdown soon enough thanks to people like them.

Although I posted that we already have Doidge and Nisbet who will be on big money for us and would be first picks, Griffiths is far better than both.
He was the difference in Celtic’s form after Christmas to before lockdown and was banging them in.

Ive lost track and haven’t seen any of the LG stuff on the internet, but isn’t it different for indoors and outdoors? 5 households in total (yours and 4 others?), LG and his girlfriend would be one household. Doubt everyone knows who else stays with who, so it’s all guesswork how many households were in the one place. If they were outside I’m sure they can have up to 15 people from said 5 households.

It's three households indoors. Are people saying they only met outdoors?

The ‘issue’ appears to be more the lack of distancing than how many households were there.

They aren’t in a ‘bubble’. I’m sure they are encouraged to stay home as much as possible but Jack Ross referred to this as being difficult because society is opening up.
They are being tested twice weekly to ensure those training and playing in close contact are not infected but they are not being kept isolated from people the rest of the time.

As good a player as he is, If he can’t screw the nut enough to play for big bucks at the biggest club in the country, I can’t see him being anything other than a shambolic disaster for us.
It’s a shame.

Hibernian FC appears to be a daftie free zone these days with Jack Ross running a tight ship e.g. Vela and Kamberi made to quickly disappear. Griffiths could still be a great player but doesn't do adult life. Hibs 2020 won't be willing to provide the money and 24/7 mollycoddling LG requires. No happening.

Other than the fact he was useless, what made Vela an issue/daftie? Genuine question as I’ve not heard anything about him other than his footballing ability (or lack of).
Like you said though it will come down to Ross. Would he prefer to spend what you’d imagine to be a large on Griffiths who would undoubtedly score a lot but may cause on and off field issues when we already have Doidge and Nisbet, or use that money to bring in Docherty and/or McCrorie?

There were some posts, referencing Bolton fan forum posts, suggesting that Vela was partial to snorting cocaine. Possibly a fake rumour that grew arms and legs, maybe a major issue. No idea personally, but I think that's what the previous post would be alluding to :-)

We don’t need one of the most natural finishers to play in Scotland in the last 10 years...
Oh and he happens to support this team
Now whether we can afford him...
Best we can hope for, Celtic/Lennon have had enough of Leigh and his “antics and attitude” and pay him off his contract. He decides to come home to leith using the payoff to top up the wage we can offer him.
But sadly can’t see it

The best way to answer these questions is to say:
It's 2.30pm on Scottish Cup Semi Final day
The teamsheets are being read out
Whose name there causes opposition hearts to sink
Mcrorie or Griffiths?
Its Leigh every time
Not saying he would come or could come, but if it became a choice, you go with the guy who strikes fear into the opponent

Absolutely. I doubt it’s at all likely but if it is get it done. Loads of people saying that rangers may loan us players to take points off the tims, maybe they would look at LG taking points off the huns in the same way!

But they are meant to follow the public health guidance especially now you would have thought after the Aberdeen situation.

We do not need Antics and Attitude. Let’s just allow Jack Ross to build the squad he wants.

Pretty sure he’d want a player of that quality of he could get him. Managers will always back themselves to be the one that can change an attitude or whatever.

I actually think we should be breaking the bank to keep boyle he is our best player by a stretch now

I think it’s right we don’t “need” sparky however if players like that are available and in your price range you take them.

Jack ross is an unhappy manager at the moment we are in a run of games where everyone is winnable but he needs another couple of quality players in quickly , Hibs recruitment need to match his and the fans ambitions . Everyone can see midfield is needing a bit more bite and creativity in it hopefully the club meet his expectations .
