Played well against us for Ross County in the League Cup Final

Would take him but he would need to join the queue of those needing to get up to speed

We need winners to hit the ground running like yesterday

Naw, mind his Scott Fraser one in the summer. Hibs trying to sign him one day, signs for MK dons the next 😂

[jacomo]

Just waiting to Aberdeen to make an announcement.

[neil7908]

He'll need a bit of time to get up to speed but delighted if he signs. Played at a high level last season and was highly sought after.

I suspect it will be a short term deal but who knows.

[Northernhibee]

After Tom James I'm not happy about another player who has two first names.

I am aware that we have Scott Allan, but we may have just got lucky with him.

Don't know much about Irvine. Vaguely remember him at Ross County.

Edinburgh Live are quoting the story but they are basically cutter and pasters.

Looking online Oldham manager Harry Kewell on the 28th Dec said that Irvine is undercooked fitness wise and that he was training with his team to improve that before looking to get signed up elsewhere in January

[Del Boy]

Very good player, would easily improve our midfield.

[Robbo6-2]

Is Tom James back?

[Northernhibee]

As long as he’s better than Martin Scott.

Two surnames surely? Not sure if that’s better or worse.

[Fergus52]

Think he'll compliment Newell very well.

From what I remember he has a great engine, is good at tackling and can play a bit as well.

[Clarence]

I think he could be the box to box midfield powerhouse that we’ve been waiting for. He could be the next Pat McGinlay.

I’ve no recollection of him but the obvious question is if he was highly sought after why does he not have a club?

[Forza Fred]

I’ve no recollection of him but the obvious question is if he was highly sought after why does he not have a club?

Hull went into serious financial difficulties and released a few of their top earners.

Irvine who was I think their captain at the time, was one of them.

Stunned the supporters, and stunned him.

Enter Mr Covid, and uncertainty, and I think he decided to have a few months out and see how things developed

Apparently he had previous offers, but not considered suitable

[04Sauzee]

I’ve no recollection of him but the obvious question is if he was highly sought after why does he not have a club?

Oldham manager in the press said the following which was reported on the 28th December.


The Latics boss said: “Jackson’s been a little bit unfortunate.

"He’s had a couple of offers and then right at the last minute because of the Covid stuff they’ve fallen through and he’s found himself in a little bit of limbo.

“That’s not a nice feeling as a footballer, so knowing him, and the professional he is, he asked and I said I’d be happy (to help with training).

[ancient hibee]

I believe he hasn’t played for the best part of a year?

Gut feeling this is not a good move.

Once covid is over him and Boyle will be travelling thousands of miles at least 5 or 6 times during the season for World Cup Qualifiers and Asian Cup games.

Remember Boyle getting injured on once occasion while playing for Australia and he was out for months. Know injuries can happen at any time though.

However, it is an unnecessary risk having two players in our squad travelling huge distances who play for the Australian national team.

We can’t not sign international quality players just because they’d be travelling to play qualifiers etc, that would be madness.

[Bishop Hibee]

He was a good player at Ross County. The midfield needs strengthening and I’d be happy if we signed him up.

As he hasn’t played for about 10 months it’ll take him a wee while to be in shape to strengthen the midfield.

[Unseen work]

Mentioned it on another thread but he would be a fantastic signing.

Hes so much more than a tough tackling centre mid like Gogic. He’s good defensively and can break up play but he’s more of an all round midfielder that can pass, run and score too Imo. He’s the type that can dominate the opposition and is something completely different to what we have.

Irvine, Newell, Magennis and Allan all competing for a central spot is very good never mind Gogic, Hallberg, Mallan and McGinn backing them up.

It would be a real statement of intent especially if we can get him for a couple of years.

Really hope we can get this one finalised. Exactly what we're missing in midfield IMO.

Plus he's got an excellent barnet.

[wookie70]

Looking at his Hull goals he looks exactly what we need. a late runner into the box and someone that can get beyond the strikers. That may work well with Gogic and Newell in the middle

Hmmmm. The hair veers a bit too close to man bun territory for my liking. That's the kind of generic off the shelf style choice I'd expect from a Hearts type of player.

I'd be happy enough to see him sign but on the proviso he keeps his hair in a Chris Hemsworth as Thor style or goes for the slightly more cultured medium length swept back Bradley Cooper look. We have one of the best looking squads in the league so we can do without some hipsteresque scruff letting the side down.

[PH91]

On paper he is exactly the type i was hoping we would sign.

Centre mid with energy who has played at a good level, comes with a good reputation, was captain of his previous club, is coming into his prime years and has experience of playing in scotland.

That's on paper though, i have never seen him play (other than against us) so no real idea if he is good or not!

[Unseen work]

Yeah in my opinion he’s exactly what we’re missing and would show a lot of drive and energy in the middle.

Quite disappointed that you feel there's no room for a bit of hipster scruff in our squad, or Hibster, if you will.

Yep we should only sign players who have no chance of being capped for their country

That removes any risk.

He is an established Australian internationalist, and is classed by some as a box to box midfielder

I was reading the match report from the 2016 League Cup Final, and it said that he had won the battle between him and SJM

Obviously he’s not as good as SJM, but I have been a long term admirer and would be delighted if he signs.

If we do sign Jackson Irvine my concern will be it's just to the end of the season, would it be asking to much for a longer term contract for him. Come on Hibs show ambition get him tied down. He is exactly what we have been missing for ages. Think he is the type of that can get the best out of Scottie when we get him back.

[Magpie]

Posted on a Hull fans forum to get some feedback from his time there and how he compares to Greg Docherty. This is what I received.

#1

“I think some on here were bigger fans than me tbf. His biggest issue with us was that he cost us £2m+ and he never looked like a player of that calibre or close. As with Doc, he's got a good engine but that's where the similarities end really. Personally, I feel that Greg is a significant upgrade for us, he's far better technically than Jackson and although when he left a few fans were disappointed, he's not been a miss at all this season for us. Jackson's good in the air too, he had a very good season at Burton where he scored 10, I seem to remember him playing just behind the striker and that appeared to suit him more.

I think it speaks volumes that he hasn't been able to get a championship club, there's significantly more money on offer in there but in the SPL, a similar level to League One, he won't do a bad job.“

#2

“ IMO not a bad signing for you, he always gives a 100%, lacks a bit technically, but makes up for it in endeavour.”

[Mr. Wonderful]

Looking at his Hull goals he looks exactly what we need. a late runner into the box and someone that can get beyond the strikers. That may work well with Gogic and Newell in the middle

Don't think we've had someone who can arrive late into the box on a consistent basis since Pat McGinley.

“Personally I liked him, always a goal in him too, runs all day, skillful, good in the air, but if anything a bit lightweight when a game gets a bit tasty. He was a fans favourite here for a long time with the terrace chant about his hair to the tune of Sweet Caroline. I liked it.
Lives locally to me and I know he has been keeping himself fit, has had a couple of trials, Sheff Weds were interested and he spent time at Oldham getting match fit.
He will be a good signing for you. Aussie International too.“

I know he is a midfielder but there would be an opportunit to expect less from Christian Doidge defensively if he comes in. One of the things that might be having a negative impact on CDs performances is how much work has been expected from him this season not only in attack but in defense too.

The arrogance of down south. I've had the misfortune of going to League One games and they are miles off Scottish Premier IMO.

The extensive coverage of Scottish football south of Berwick makes English based fans extremely well placed to compare the Scottish premiership to their leagues :greengrin I was at Wigan v Nottingham Forest last season and the only difference to the Scottish premiership was the obvious propensity for EFL clubs to sign big athletic players, the standard was no better than yer average Motherwell v Kilmarnock match that I could see.

Come to mention it, if it hadn't been for a big Forest away support the crowd would have been about the same size as well.

That to me just suggests he’s using us to get game time so he can play for Australia and will go to another club in the summer when his stock is high.

if he’s only signing till the summer I can see no chance of it being extended.

Not great for club that it’s until end of season. Hopefully he does well, loves it and signs for longer.

[Stuart93]

Great signing. A bit disappointed with the length of the deal.

If he has a good half season with us he’ll be off elsewhere

[MrRobot]

Great signing, hopefully can tempt him to stay longer. European football could make the difference.

[04Sauzee]

We get a decent player until the end of the season who will make us better. If he's off atnthe end of the season becuase he's been great for us so be it. I'd rather a body in to help us over the next 6 months

Exactly. As other posters have said, we've no idea what revenues will be like next season, and Irvine probably wants to keep his options open. A lot of football to be played and we have acquired a very good player who wants to prove himself.

[Brightside]

We also have no idea how fit he is.... he was on decent money previously so lets just see how he goes. No issue with short term deal.

Positive. No way folk can say the club haven't done everything possible to get results on the field this season.

[ElginHibbie]

Obviously would like a longer a deal, but if helps us to Europe and hopefully a cup win will still have been an excellent signing

[CapitalGreen]

Martin Boyle (Loan) and Fraser Fyvie both signed initially on deals until the summer, had a good half season and then signed permanent long term deals.

I think the reality with Irvine is that he's too good to play for Hibs, and we will be lucky to have him help us out this season in league & cups.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Good signing, hope he can hit the ground running.

Not sure about the top-knot though, that freaks me out a bit.

[BlackSheep]

Welcome to Hibs Jackson, someone tell him Movember finished a couple months back... lolololol.

[MyJo]

There short term deals for him and Macey probably have a couple of factors in play. We still don’t know what next season will look like. If fans are allowed back into stadiums by August then our budget should go back to normal but there is the risk that we’re still not able to generate income and if that’s the case our budget will be stuffed next season as there will be a major drop in season ticket purchases to also contend with.

Secondly there is the situation with Marciano, Newell and Allan. If those guys sign new contracts and continue playing then it might mean there isn’t the budget to keep the new guys on longer term but if they all leave or stop play long then the budget is likely to be there to extend the deals of Macey and Irvine instead.

[JimBHibees]

Brilliant news exactly the sort of player we need imo. As Jack said compliments what we have. Good deal for both parties. Hope he hits the ground running.

[highland hibbee]

Also on the two names front, has anyone mentioned Jack Ross?s

or Ross Jack...

[Since452]

Promising. Lets hope he leaves the club a cup winner. Its considerably increased our chances.

Sorry but that is nonsense. Given his circumstances, I would say he is very lucky to be able to sign for a club of our stature. He is joining a club who are strong favourites to qualify for Europe and have a strong chance of winning a cup competition.

Sides might be being understandably cautious about committing to longer contracts etc as they wait to see what covid means for us all.

I have a hunch that he'll be a good fit for us - and that he might gain as much from the move as we do.

No need to be overly pessimistic that he'll feel the need to run away at the first opportunity.

A season or two playing well for us might lead to much better opportunities for him in future rather than take the first opportunity that comes at a higher level than Hibs over the summer.

Compared with the starting team last night, if Irvine replaces Hallberg, Boyle is back in instead of Wright, and Gogic retains his place after his sterling display, how would we best fit in Allan once he is fit again?
I know hee-haw about Irvine but Allan being fit again and linking up with Nisbet is what most excites me about the second half of the season, hopefully combined with a return to form for Boyle.

It’s nonsense to say he’s too good for Hibs, given his career thus far and the fact that he has been without a club and not played a game for a long time. Add our current circumstances and that makes your statement seem a bit bizarre to me.

The short term contract situation suits both parties. They’ve worked out well for Hibs in recent years.

Out of interest, who do you think he is good enough for?

[Mikey_1875]

Can only be a positive bringing depth to a midfield in desperate need of it. Hopefully fit and ready to compete for a semi final place!

[Vault Boy]

Delighted by that. Hopefully the move works for all parties involved and we end up seeing him stay, but this season is the focus just now.

100% agree with you😃 he hasn’t kicked a ball in months and we didn’t dive in and offer a 5 year contract like the maggenis(although i think he will be a cracking player for us eventually) it suits both parties and who’s to say he won’t stay longer.

Terrific signing :aok: exactly what we need in midfield from an attacking point of view centrally, will be a huge asset in the business end of the season when we are trying to win the cups and secure Europe. Lots for him to play for personally and for the club. Short term deal makes sense for both parties to have a close look at each other. Hibs have always been good at securing players beyond short term / loan deals when they've been a success (Dylan, Fyvie, Marciano, Kamberi, etc.).

[Roxyhibee]

Liking this signing a lot and he speaks positively about us too. Hope we can get him playing soon enough - we need him.

A polemic is a strong verbal or written attack on something or someone. A strongly disputatious speech or view. Saying a player like Jackson Irvine is too good for Hibs on a Hibs fans forum fits that description pretty well to me.

His last game was 7 March, so it's going to take a while to get up and running. So much of his game is based on physicality and stamina.

I like the Facebook Post from the club announcing this mentioning 'contractually obliged rave review of our facilities.'

Hibs communication and social media has definitely been on the up again lately after a bit of a lull. I like the not taking things too seriously approach. Not that important in the grand scheme of things but it's a bit different to what we saw for years.

Anyway good signing and hopefully it's one that we see extended at the end of the season because he's so good and we can offer European football.

[Hibs90]

If he does that then the deal will have worked for both parties. We need that quality in immediately. If it is short term then so be it - so long as he has the impact we need now. We can then revisit building for the longer term on the back of a successful season.

We are still one problem away from playing McGregor or Gray. Love both of them but at the stage they are at and not playing it does give us an issue.

We’ve got about 8 central midfielders so would be good to also have cover and options at the back.

Agree on another striker though ideally.

Easy Tiger. It looks like he was training at Oldham for a week or so and he hasn't played a proper game in 10 months.
Mulumbu has only just begun to start for Killie after joining in the summer following a year out. Efe pretty much strolled back for Livi after a similar sabbatical but the big man is not exactly going box-to-box these days is he?
JI is a good bit younger but it's still going to take time to get match fit, particularly when his game is all about energy and athleticism.
A bit of patience is required.
It will be the same with Cadden, if he arrives, since he is another workhorse with an impressive engine, but has not had many minutes in the MLS since March.
It should take some pressure off Magennis, allowing him to take care he gets fully fit without any more setbacks.

He’s been training with Oldham since before Xmas, he’s played bounce games, he’ll be fit. Only way to get ‘match fit’ is by playing games. I’d rather give him the game this weekend before the semi final.

I think Cadden will be in the team before Jackson but I'm just guessing at that.

I suspect he's fitter than you think. "Irvine has been working with Australian legend Harry Kewell at Oldham Athletic to regain his fitness and has been on a tailored plan by FFA conditioning coach Andrew Clark to keep himself ready for a return to club action." Not 90 minutes match fit maybe, but I doubt he's far off it,

I'm not saying the guy isn't fit, far from it.

However being fit and match fit are two different things.

I'm just guessing Cadden will make his debut before Jackson, not a big deal who plays first.

Important thing is both players will make us better.

Good signing if he can get up to speed. He needs a shave and a haircut, though.

He’s not in boot camp [emoji23]

[Kinross Hibee]

Very good signing, hopefully mutual benefit to club and player. Impress, sign on for 3 years, have a great season or two and move on for a fair transfer fee. That's the business we are in and I'm sure the club will be hoping for the same :thumbsup:

I think Irvine will play on Saturday if Newell is out. He probably won't start but I can see him coming off the bench.

He needs to play. It’s not like we can spend a couple of months bedding him in. He needs to hit the ground running as he is only on a 6 month deal and we have a semi final in 11 days. He should be starting at the weekend. Can’t have another Magennis situation.

Is Cadden still happening and if so what’s the hold up?

Has Cadden actually signed?

Cadden’s signature has been on the cards for some time now. I can only assume the issue lies with his American club or possibly personal terms.

It sounds like the American club still owe Motherwell money, so they're sorting that out

[jacomo]

I do, just weird folk are still calling him that all these years later.


Why did you ask then?

Kevin Thomson. KT. Katie.

It’s all ok, really it is.

He has signed.

Hold up was nothing to do with Hibs.

Should be announced anytime I would imagine.

Standard 5pm perhaps:greengrin

The last goal he scored in that clip was a great example of a midfield player bursting a gut to get forward and into the box.

Something I don't think we have seen from us in a long while.

[JimBHibees]

Some impressive clips from a game he played for Ross county at parkhead.

Yep looks exactly what we need. Just got to hope he is near ready to play and we can get the best of him. Potentially a game changer for us fingers crossed

I'm not quite convinced that the position of his fingers will make any difference to how effective he is for us.

[GreenCastle]

He describes himself as high energy and box to box player..

Exactly what I’ve wanted since SJM left.

Any idea his squad number ? Also noticed a video of him on YouTube playing the guitar.

I imagine he'll be filling the Omeonga role. Hopefully Jack Ross can get a tune out of him.
