If St Johnstone get knocked out on Thursday, I think we'll sign Jason Kerr and Chris McCart.

Kerr could get higher wages elsewhere but we could cover that with a signing-on fee. There's a world cup next year, he'll want to get in the Scotland squad. He's still young enough to get another big move. If he speaks to Jack and Big Ron, he's ours.

I watched the full Hearts/Aberdeen game on ALBA and both defences are way ahead of ours.

Won’t sign both

@HibernianFC 2 @csstrollers 1 this evening.
Hibs goals were a cracker from Fairley and Josh O’Connor.

Harris O’Connor played right back.

* it seemingly wasn’t O’Connor that scored the 2nd but the no 9 who was a trialist.

Be stunned if we got both, probably talking a million at least to get both them.

Us and Aberdeen both have pretty much the exact same defence as last season, where we conceded less goals.

Aberdeen's back 4 has almost entirely changed;
- Gallagher is new
- Ramsay only played a handful of games last season for them
- McCrorie playing CH in a 4 wasn't there system last season and if he played at the back it was Right wing back

The Rijeka game showed that a bottom 6 (bottom 4) standard of defence turns a tight fixture into an uphill struggle, into a heavy defeat, in the blink of an eye.

And the Motherwell and Dundee games have shown any team in this league will fancy their chances of scoring minimum 2 against us away from Easter Rd

Definitely need major surgery back there

Fair points but I don't think Gallagher improves them massively, had a poor season for Motherwell and was a bit of a bombscare in a couple of their games I seen.

McRorie also played centre back a good few times for Aberdeen last season, albeit in a back 3 as opposed to a back 4.

We 100% do not have a bottom 6 or bottom 4 defence. It's the same players who conceded the least goals outside of the old firm last season.

Our system has changed to be more attacking (which was what nearly every fan wanted to see from Ross after last season) which will leave more gaps to be exploited at the back.

We've been unlucky that Hanlon's injury has co-incided with McGinn and Gogic's sharp drop off in form, which has left us vulnerable. But a new centre back is all that's needed IMO. Chat of needing to sign three starting players for the back 4 is way off and completely unrealistic.

We only had one first choice centre half on when we capitulated, not major surgery, more options in there and at right back.

I never thought I’d find top level football so boring.

I know players have always been sold for lots of money but I just find all these big transfer a real turn off. Don’t know if it’s just because i find myself getting annoyed at how excited other people are getting about these deals but I just don’t see it myself. Think there’s talk of Ronaldo replacing Mbappe at PSG and it just seems like a big soap opera now.

Genuinely won’t be surprised if I don’t watch one champions league game this season. Not as some kind of protest, just doesn’t seem like real football any more.

Fantasy football for the mega rich.

Would 100% rather watch a good youth match down the links than someone like Real Madrid against PSG.

I feel the same way. The EPL, Champions League and La Liga especially but also The Bundesliga, Serie A and Ligue 1 are all boring as hell and have been for years. Not just because of the ridiculous money that's sloshed around but because of all the pomp and circumstance that I can't relate to. It's so far removed from the game I grew up with.

I'm hoping future generations will see it this way and it'll go back to how it was when I was a kid when people were star struck by players playing in our own league. Like you say, I'd rather watch my bairns seven a side than an EPL or CL game.

Aye im the exact same, gave up on the Champions League a few years ago, its just football that I dont feel any connection to anymore. EPL is going the same way for me too, so many games on paper that I know I used to get excited about but cant remember the last time I actually made plans to watch a game.

I hate the EPL. An over rated tourist league where the vast majority of teams are actually a bit **** regardless of how much English people claim Brighton and Burnley would challenge for top 4 in Spain etc. Then when you get a game between the big teams it often ends 0-0 and one of the most boring games you’ve ever seen. And I say this as someone who hates the whole against modern football patter..

I actually am incredibly glad that we play football at the level we play at. Still full time, still plenty good players but it remains honest.

I don’t watch a huge amount of English football but when I do I find it so dull.

There’s so much money involved now it seems quite often teams are more worried about not losing than they are trying to win.

Stan Collymore tweeted how good the Hibs Dundee game was on Sunday, one of the comments said it’ll be the most entertaining game on TV all day and they were spot on. I watched some of the Man U game and it was dreadful entertainment, Chelsea Arsenal game I turned off at half time.

Hibs are in for Bevis Mugabi motherwell player.from a mate ITK.
Small fee ment to be involved.not reported anywhere yet.
This is only the second time in my years on here I’ve had info last one never came through.

I saw Mugabi a few times last season & thought he looked awful though he improved latterly. He seems better this season and in some ways reminds me of early Sol Bamba. There may be something there but IMO he's currently way behind Hanlon and Porteous.

Personally think Doig is quite a bit better than Kingsley (not at set pieces though) and a few Hearts fans I know all say Smith is well past his best and want rid of him.

Souttar is a really good player but with his injury history doubt you'll get a full season out of him. So they have 0.5 of a good defender in their team :wink:.

Saying that Gordon is probably the best keeper in the league, so that helps.

Garbage.

Our most recent signing made his debut on Sunday.

Our manager has been at the club less than two years and he gave Hibs' debuts to all but three of Sunday's starting line-up. The other three are: Porteous (still just 22 and we've turned down bids for him); Boyle (star player whom we're delighted to have re-signed); McGregor (emergency cover).

So, too sum up the transfer talk after all these days absolutely nothing has happened ! Will it be another season of muddling through with the players we have ?

The players we have achieved third place in the league last season.

The only major loss to the Squad has been Marciano who has been replaced by Macey and Jackson Irvine has been replaced by Doyle-Hayes

Mallan, James, Murray & S McGinn were all out on loan last season and not part of our squad while SDG has retired from playing but he only played 4/5 times last season anyway. Magennis is back to full fitness and is like a new signing, Allan is back in the squad and we have added Mackay & Scott with more on the way. With the exception of our goalkeeper we are probably a stronger squad than what we finished with last season, hardly muddling through.

The problem we have just now is the number of injuries we are having to cope with and a club our size simply can't afford to have three first-team quality players in the squad for every position so in situations where we have our club captain defender, our two primary right-backs and our two primary strikers out then we are going to have problems to contend with that can't be fixed by just signing players for the sake of it or wasting our budget on a contract or loan for a player to cover someone who is out injured for a couple of weeks only for them to not be needed when the first-choice player is fit again.

I watched the first leg and Aberdeen were run ragged, especially in the first half, they improved second half. State of the pitch made it more of a leveller than it could have been. I think the better pitch at Pittodrie will suit Qarabag. They looked slicker and better technically than Aberdeen. Wouldn't surprise me to see them win 0-2, 0-3 tonight.

Think this is Hibs trying to get more quality into the development team and bridge the gap between the development team and the first team?

Think this is Hibs trying to get more quality into the development team and bridge the gap between the development team and the first team?

There was talk a number of years ago about Hibs having a first team player, an understudy and a young player for each position.

We're under the cosh a wee bit at the moment injury-wise and it's showing up a few of our deficiencies but I agree with whoever it was up the page who suggested that our current number of injuries would stretch us at any time.

The issue I have is that the youths and development players appear to be some way off being able to be trusted to play in the first team. We've got names who have been in there as well for yonks (Innes Murray for example) who seem to drift along to a fair old age without ever threatening to get into our first team.

If we were looking at improving the development squad with a few to bridging that gap (which seems to me to be quite wide at the moment) then that would probably make sense.

For example - I was quite happy to hear we had Harris O'Connor training with us. His credentials are such that he wouldn't be thrown straight into the first team but given a chance to develop and see if he could get in there over time, and that's without knowing much about him as a player. I do know it's quite a long way to go for a youngster to find himself playing at CH in the first team at Ibrox though, and there will probably be decent players who fall by the wayside.

I have sympathy for Hibs but I do find the current situation pretty frustrating. The lack of options Jack Ross had to change a really important game in Croatia and the fact that we had players spewing on the pitch on Sunday but having to play on felt a wee bit pub team if the truth be told.

I watched the first leg and Aberdeen were run ragged, especially in the first half, they improved second half. State of the pitch made it more of a leveller than it could have been. I think the better pitch at Pittodrie will suit Qarabag. They looked slicker and better technically than Aberdeen. Wouldn't surprise me to see them win 0-2, 0-3 tonight.

That is where I am with that tie. Qarabag looked good and to me were more inconvenienced by the pitch. Think they will be better suited on a better pitch and see a similar score to you. The number of opportunities the Icelandic team missed at Pittodrie was huge so see Qarabag doing similar but with better quality to take them. Leveller of course may be the travel.

This came direct from Leeann.

I thought it was a bit foolish at the time, as it might indeed mean we held onto young players just because they were nominal cover in the right position, and not because they had a genuine chance of making the break through.

It’s a good target to aim for but life isn’t that simple… there will always be areas where the squad is deeper and others where there is little cover.

Right now we seem to have kids who can make the bench that Jack doesn’t have full faith in. We do need more depth. We probably need to be more ruthless in deciding which young players to keep and which to let go.

I’d assume Hibs will have watched him over a much longer period than one game.

It might even be he’s having a shocker tonight after having his head turned by our offer. Could be trying too hard and not playing his normal game.

Incidentally I think some of these LASK players look really good. The Japanese midfielder looks excellent, so does the number 9 up front I think. Checked transfermarkt and they don’t seem to be valued particularly highly.

They’re in a play off game to get into Europe and hours before it’s released we’re making a third bid for him and his agent will have been in his ear.
