How come squad number 80 ?

[500miles]

How come squad number 80 ?

I'd imagine he'd want number 8, which is currently unavailable.

[GreenCastle]

I think the likes of

Gullan
Allan
Scott
Wright

Will be free to go however I think

Nisbet or Porteous for a fee and/or maybe even Newell

Surely Scott..Gullan and Gogic 1st..

Think Wright may have done enough to stay a little longer in the Utd game.

Allan hopefully stays as he’s still a game changer off the bench.

[SHODAN]

How come squad number 80 ?

After #2 and #12 (which we use intermittently) the next lowest number available is #33.

We could have given Henderson #2 ala his brother getting #3 but I imagine that's going to Clarke.

Welcome Hendo.👍👏👏

Sorry forgot about Gogic.

Who knows GC. Allan I’m not so sure about tbh!

Just going to have to wait and see what happens I suppose!

Someone posted earlier in this thread about Newell going back down south but then deleted it..

Hopefully keep him but I think others game time will be severely limited.

But 3 in 3 out - we will still be light in numbers.

Yip. I can still see a few more in if they all leave! We may even lose players to fee’s ie Porteous, Boyle or Nisbet so may have to strengthen further

[superfurryhibby]

We do have an excellent attack, unfortunately we have struggled in that regard.
Also having the third best defence and attack (in stats) doesn’t automatically mean you finish 3rd. For a side that’s far more open and expansive than hearts I’d expect us to be worse off defensively.

Hearts have scored more goals than us and conceded fewer:confused: I haven't watched them enough to say how open or expansive they are, but it's not a description I would apply to Hibs this season.

Hopefully the signings of Mueller, Tait, Henderson, Melkerson will help make us the kind of side you describe.

Pleased that Henderson is on board. He's not played many games for a laddie his age, hopefully he's going to start making an impact at Hibs. There's going to be some real competition in midfield now, not before time.

[Causewayside PR]

Poor form I know but looking at Henderson dispassionately, I do not think this will prove to be a wise signing. Especially as on such a long contract and guess he will be on a decent wage coming from Celtic. He has done nothing of merit in his career so far and has had opportunities which he largely failed in with his loans. Also no longer a young player. Added to all that it means Allan is probably likely to leave who I feel has a lot more talent.
Anyway, will support Hendo 100% and pray I am wrong but I doubt it...

Loan plus 3 year deal from summer.

What’s the script with the loan until summer? Is it simply that his contract ends with Celtic in the summer but they’re willing to let him come now and play on loan?

[BoomtownHibees]

First game against Cove then with him being on loan?

[SHODAN]

Squad now as it stands, players expected to leave in italics (assuming Clarke signs):

GK: Macey, Dabrowski, Mitchell, Samson
RB: Cadden, McGinn, Clarke
CB: Porteous, Hanlon, McGregor
LB: Doig, Stevenson, Mackie
DM: Doyle-Hayes, Gogic
CM: Magennis, Campbell, Hallberg
AM: Newell, Henderson, Tait, Allan
W: Boyle, Mueller, Murphy, Wright, Bradley
ST: Nisbet, Doidge, Melkersen, Gullan, Scott


CB and striker probably still needed. Otherwise, assuming we hold on to Doig/Porteous/Nisbet/Boyle, we're good.

[WeeRussell]

Liam Henderson had played 17 games before he joined us. We shouldn't have signed him either.

I was actually going to say it feels pretty similar to when we signed Liam. Euan was maybe rated higher when youngsters even?

[CapitalGreen]

Liam Henderson had played 17 games before he joined us. We shouldn't have signed him either.

Liam was nearly 3 years younger than Euan and we were playing in the 2nd tier.

I think Allan could be added to the “out” list. And I’m no sure about classing Joe Newell as an attacking midfielder. Maybe would swap him and Magennis

I was more meaning in general, I acknowledged we’ve been poor up to this point going forward.

While it would be great to have a better defensive record than them, the poster referenced that would mean us finishing below them. Scoring more goals will be the telling factor in how we finish the season if we carry on with a similar defensive record.

Clarke will cover centre back and right back, think he’s coming in as mainly for centre half

[The 90+2]

Anthony Ralston was hardly a world beater on loan to Dundee Utd (championship) and St Johnstone.

Henderson has big potential. Lets hope SM can tap into that.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Liam was nearly 3 years younger than Euan and we were playing in the 2nd tier.

Liam started with Hibs just after he turned 20, Ewan is 21.

I think this new set up could really benefit Scotty. Fingers crossed he stays and kicks on. You cant let someone with his level of assists go IMO.

He was given more game time under Brendan Rodgers when Celtic were at their best, scored against Betis in Europe recently and if you see all the responses on twitter from Celtic fans, everyone seems to be saying that he’s a good player but never really got the opportunity. Is 21 not a young player? Porteous is 22 and I’m pretty sure we all consider him a young player.

[CapitalGreen]

Liam started with Hibs just after he turned 20, Ewan is 21.

That’s not correct, Liam had just turned 19 and Ewan is 22 in a couple of months.

Regardless, I hope Ewan is a great success with us and surpasses his brothers achievements.

[aljo7-0]

Presumably with a loan to us Celtic can insist he does not play in our games against them so they have not released him to sign permanently now. https://www.hibs.net/image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhJQAPAJEDAP//////AAAAAP///yH/C05FVFNDQVBFMi4wAwEAAAAh QQJMgADACwAAAAAJQAPAAACXpyPOcKsDyMLlLqIn6jc5m9s1jZ 54CEoogCQrYmkUrICL/sGMqo2e6hrTRo3mi90RLoaOsbtskj6dqkV0 ehJmmhReeb7X6qwArT3P1lLiKdGR09acAwuaQ9sp m9gIAIfkEBUYAAwAsAAAAACUADwAAAl6cjznCrA8jC5S6iJ o3GZ9NFs3Wk2ICehCAqW6rIgIx6UFuMGk1rTxA7IqDZ3A1QuJg EvhrbhZ poJWI/U2EVj3Ezy1uF8P0pgWLtd1Mhc8E4sZGvOHrkXfLF/guwCADs=

4 players in the building in Jan , Tait, Mueller, Melkerson and Henderson and think the average age is 21.5? Oldest Mueller at a few months over 25 and the youngest Melkerson just turned 19

It’s a nod to the 80th minute delivery of Liam for Stokes

I don't suppose that's exactly what we wanted, but I assume that we're getting him now without paying a transfer fee to Celtic.

Exciting times to be a Hibee. Looks like Maloney wants to build a younger and hopefully hungrier team. As much as I thought Jack Ross' time was cut short early you can't deny the freshness about the team at the moment.

Liam Henderson had played 17 games before he joined us. We shouldn't have signed him either.

This will be a very unpopular opinion but if it wasn't for the two corners in the final and the famous "Henderson to deliver" line i think i would have struggled to remember him playing for us.

[Torto7]

Henderson has Rogic and Turnbull to get ahead of in the Celtic team. He's a talented player I watched him when he was on loan with the Pars. We've got another good one here. I wonder if the defender is based overseas as well?

Allan doesn’t have fitness to play a high press! Whilst at his prime he was outstanding that time has been and gone. My opinion mind.

I don’t want to be disrespectful to him but I’ve we want to push on we need everyone fit and during on all cylinders!

I will however trust SM judgement

Fair enough, it’s crazy how different opinions can be in football. I thought he was a great player, brought so much energy to the players around him as well.
To add, probably only overshadowed at the time by a generational talent in John McGinn.

There's some truth in that insofar as two iconic moments in a huge game means the guy will never be forgotten, but Hendo was ( is ) clearly a decent player and he showed that more than once at Hibs. I always thought his style was suited to continental football, a period in Norway with Rosenborg where he won a league winners medal probably helped develop that style. I wasn't the least surprised when he moved to Italy rather than a UK club.

Just goes to show how one or two moments in a single game can mean a player, even an average one, will never be forgotten. Stokes can probably be put on that list as can David Gray ..... There's another ex player of ours of course who makes that list in Keith Houchen, he might have been a pretty bog standard Hibs player, but the guy's a bloody legend in Coventry :greengrin

[Cocaine&Caviar]

The ones in bold could be away this window.

I really dont see anyone paying what we would be looking for in the case of Doig or Nisbet; if anyone, Boyle i would be most worried about.

[sleeping giant]

Infectious enthusiasm.
Great interview.

[Torto7]

If Boyle's going and there is no sign of it as his Mrs is pals with mine then Celtic or whoever else will have to be paying him one hell of a wage as his new contract was for a very tidy sum, not to mention the fat fee we would want, there's no clause anymore.

[MrRobot]

Where’s the chat about newell leaving come from?

[brog]

This will be a very unpopular opinion but if it wasn't for the two corners in the final and the famous "Henderson to deliver" line i think i would have struggled to remember him playing for us.
Or his superb reverse cross for our 1st goal at PBS. Also his quick thinking with the free kicks, not allowing Hearts' defence to regroup.

[mayo hibee]

Gullan to Raith to be confirmed today. Harry Clarke signed and be confirmed in next couple days

I presume they will announce that one tomorrow to round up the week's signings. Good start to the window, the quality of the players is yet to be seen but the reinforcements were badly needed.

[Jones28]

The ones in bold could be away this window.

Not a chance all of them go, least of all our key players. Boyle, Nisbet, Porteous Doig and Mackie will all stay, Allan and Gogic will want games and probably will go. If a decent offer comes in for Newall I could see him leaving.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

This will be a very unpopular opinion but if it wasn't for the two corners in the final and the famous "Henderson to deliver" line i think i would have struggled to remember him playing for us.

Nope. Was at almost every game home & away that season and he was a massive part of the group, forged a great connection with the fans and his team mates.

[Causewayside PR]

I am happy to trust Maloney's opinion over yours because:
A) He has seen more of Henderson than you have.
B) He knows more about football than you.

Haha! By that logic we might as well shut down this forum then.
I have seen him enough to hold a view. Players and people can always change for better or worse. I am just saying the evidence is that he will need to improve a lot and prove himself as someone who is nearly 22 and played a handful of games, few of which have been good. Easily doable of course and there are many examples to look to. Personally would have preferred we preserved with Allan in getting him back to fitness but still happy to back the player and the management's decision.

[Ronniekirk]

I’d be adding James Scott to that list.

You would think he would of been away by now which makes me wonder if we could be stuck with him to the summer

Maybe we could convince the McGinns and Hendersons to create a super-hybrid footballer that we can sign.

Would love if we signed David Marshall.

He could save us a lot of points a season like Gordon at hearts.

That said I actually really rate Macey, with the exception of his kicking. Think he’s made some brilliant saves this season but doesn’t get the recognition Marciano did because he’s not quite as dramatic.

He’s also at a good age.

Hope there’s nothing in the Newell rumours. Mental how underrated he is by some imo.

Deal done, Hibs getting a percentage of any future transfer

[MWHIBBIES]

Agreed. Folk are in danger of re-writing history here.

Henderson’s attitude was brilliant when he was here along with what he brought to the team when he played.

And honestly, Henderson was not that good at corners. At all. His general play was his strong point. Brilliant passing and moving always, closing down and could beat a man.

Took the best corners that Hibs fans are ever likely to see!

[where'stheslope]

Would love if we signed David Marshall.

He could save us a lot of points a season like Gordon at hearts.

That said I actually really rate Macey, with the exception of his kicking. Think he’s made some brilliant saves this season but doesn’t get the recognition Marciano did because he’s not quite as dramatic.

He’s also at a good age.

Hope there’s nothing in the Newell rumours. Mental how underrated he is by some imo.
As long as the other teams don't shoot from the halfway line!!!!!:aok::aok::aok:

For many reasons I’ve wanted Jamie to kick on but he just never seems to have done so. I wonder if we’ll have a buy back clause. He’s well rated, maybe he just needs some proper game time

Don’t think he got enough game time to develop ..neither did he grab the brief opportunities he had …shame as he seems to have a lot of great attributes

[Cat Stanton]

He was good full stop.

I listened to Maloney's podcast with Tom English (I know, I know) the other day. Talked a lot about how the best coaches (Martinez etc) can improve players at any age. I think he knows the potential of Henderson (from his time at Septic) - and of the other young players we are signing - and thinks he can improve them a lot more. Think that's an important consideration in terms of who we are bringing in.

There won't be any 'battle'. They either meet our valuation (which they wont) or they piss off. Simple.

Can't see him going to Celtic now. They would have tried some funny business with the Hendo deal if they really wanted him.

[ancient hibee]

Just as an aside. I see from reports of Charlie Adam’s court case that he’s on £3,500 a week at Dundee.

Get that so far to ****! Boyle’s going nowhere (I hope and pray.)

[Ardenttwo]

Squad now as it stands, players expected to leave in italics (assuming Clarke signs):

GK: Macey, Dabrowski, Mitchell, Samson
RB: Cadden, McGinn, Clarke
CB: Porteous, Hanlon, McGregor
LB: Doig, Stevenson, Mackie
DM: Doyle-Hayes, Gogic
CM: Magennis, Campbell, Hallberg
AM: Newell, Henderson, Tait, Allan
W: Boyle, Mueller, Murphy, Wright, Bradley
ST: Nisbet, Doidge, Melkersen, Gullan, Scott


CB and striker probably still needed. Otherwise, assuming we hold on to Doig/Porteous/Nisbet/Boyle, we're good.

Daniel McKay ?

[JohnMcM]

Not wanting to start a new thread (or hijack this one), I want to thank and wish Jamie Gullan all the best at Raith Rovers.

[J-C]

GK: Macey / Dabrowski

RCB: Clarke / McGinn
CB: Porteous / McGregor
LCB: Hanlon / Stevenson

RWB: Cadden / Wright
CM: Henderson / Magennis / Campbell / Hallberg / Bradley
CM: Newell / Doyle-Hayes / Tait / Gogic / Allan
LWB: Doig / Mackie

RW: Boyle / Mackay
LW: Mueller / Murphy / Scott
CF: Nisbet / Doidge / Melkerson / Gullan

Bradley plays up top on the right and is a left footer, Gullan, Scott,Gogic, Hallberg and possibly Wright and Allan may all be away depending what Maloney sees.

[Hibs90]

I'd hope that we would use £3m to get better than what Boyle offers.

That's not a slight on him by the way, I just think that £3m could buy an awful lot more.

It's a fantastic price and we should take it, if offered.

Our expected goals conceded (which is a stat evaluating the number and quality of shots we have faced) versus our actual goals conceded is up there with the worst in the league. That coupled with his reluctance to take crosses and his dreadful distribution make him the player I'm most keen to see us replace in the entire squad. Defence was excellent last season, only one thing has changed.

Porteous in and out. Doig /Stevenson. Changing midfield etc etc. more than a change in keeper is responsible for our defensive record. I’m not sure you can just claim one thing has changed and put it on the goalie. By the way he comes out and either catches or punches much more than Rocky ever did IMO. I’d also wager that McGinns for has dipped greatly on the right hand side this season. Just as an aside. Who dictates what a quality shot is? Is it an opinion or is there a science to it?

No one’s mind is ever changed in these threads…but he has scored , and do you choose to ignore his work rate, ball retention, tackling , closing down , setting the tempo of the whole team when he’s on his game.

Some people don’t see it - fine . Probably those that didn’t like McGeough either . Neither the most impactful on the eye. But bring a a huge amount the the team. The players love playing with Newall by the way ..ask any of them…

Ps he can be too safe with his passing , I’d concede that - he would be outstanding if he was more forward going than he is - already very good .

I’m in the ‘Newell is overrated by some’ camp but I thought McGeough was brilliant for us. Thought we really missed him when he was out with his various injuries but I don’t think we miss Newell nearly as much. In fact I don’t think we miss him. Not a bad player but I agree with others we could improve.

Nonsense. Newall is a great player. What doesn't work is him and a similar player (but downgrade) like JDH in the same starting 11.

Newall has never been close to the levels of performance McGeough managed for us. Comparing them undermines your argument imo.

I think Mcgeouch is brilliant, but he did have John McGinn, and he played most of his football for Hibs in the Championship.

Newell creates more chances, dribbles more often and has more tackles and interceptions per game than JDH.

I like them both but Newell is better both going forward and defensively imo, and the stats back that up.

Statistically the 9th best ball winner in the league, including all defenders.

Most people on here only seem to acknowledge the defensive contributions of central midfielders if they're built like gogic or Bartley.

[B.H.F.C]

Will be interesting to see whether Newell gets back in the side straight away. There’s only really two places up for grabs in the middle of the park and we’ve done well without him. Remember Ross bringing him back in and disrupting a good balance we’d found without him last season.

I don't know how the shots are evaluated. I'm led to believe that there is some sort of science to it however. I agree that there have been other changes, you are right, but the XC v C is still damning. FWIW, Zander Clark is poorly ranked every season, so I don't want him either

[WeeRussell]

Square and reverse pass specialist . Can't score .

Nah, come on that's not true.

And I'm not a huge lover of Joe Newell. I think he's alright - I wouldn't put him in the category of a few players that I'd be pretty disappointed to see move on (but equally not desperate to see the back of him), and I don't believe he's our best midfielder and definitely don't buy that every team outside the old firm would be rushing to have him.

But he's more than what you've made out above. Do any of our midfielders score goals other than the absent Magennis?

If JDH turns out to be better than McGeough then he will be absolutely outstanding. McGeough was brilliant at Hibs and for me the best midfielder we've had at the club in about 10 years apart from McGinn.

Hopefully - all three are no surplus to requirements. Love Scott Allan but think we need to move on as doubt he will be able to consistently perform at the levels we need now, especially with youngsters like Magennis and Henderson chomping at the bit to get experience in the same area.

McGeouch was a level above Newell, at the very least in terms of influence if not ability. That's partly due to the balance of who was around him, and even though I like Newell Dylan could dictate and dominate games in a way that not many other Hibs midfielders have done.

Bear in mind that JDH has just turned 23 in the last week. Newell is 29 in March. Newell probably slightly ahead at the moment but JDH's ceiling in the game will be higher than Newell's I'd say.

Seen on twitter we are interested in Jason kerr. Surely out of our price range

Had a quick search for Jason Kerr on twitter and can't see us being linked with him, maybe I'm not digging deep enough 😁, is there a link?

[SteveHFC]

Another signing???

Love a wee left field signing though

I'm assuming it's incoming rather than outgoing....

Here it come

[JimBHibees]

He has been good in spells but not a chance he is as good as newell in my opinion

Personally think he is. Newell has had good games however many meh games also. Think he flatters to deceive very little forward passes doesn't track his man and quite slow.

Allan and Gogic certainties to be away IMO. Possibly Hallberg as well.

I think so and I think it's just a matter of the right club for the player but would expect more outs early next week.

The twitter folk won't be happy with that 🤣 cue the comments.

As suspected Clarke 18 months with a few break clauses

[Greencore]

Harry announced.

Someone want to explain what a break in the clause means?

Its effectively 3 x 6 month loans back to back and Arsenal can recall him between each one.

And that wraps up all our transfer dealings.

Honestly if that's it, I'd be happy.

He's very much a Jack Ross kind of player. He's a good attitude too and I don't think he will be happy kicking about the bench.

[weecounty hibby]

Hope not. Just the kind of valuable squad player that we need. Has hardly let us down since coming in and he would be pretty near the bottom of my list to let go

[Blaster]

We need a squad so I hope he’s here till the summer. We’ve only covered Wood leaving so can’t let a defender go.

[Unseen work]

Delighted we’ve signed Clarke, really good young player.

Can’t help but feel disappointed it’s only a loan though with potential recalls in the summer and January.

[CapitalGreen]

McGinn will be here come Feb because 1, he offers great versatility and 2, he isn’t going to get a similar wage elsewhere.

[Winston Ingram]

Why would he move back up the road so quickly , when he plays for Wigan each week ? Can’t see it ..thinks it has just be copied from a poster on the private message board who had said we are interested.

He doesn’t play for them every week. He’s only started 3 league games

[Vault Boy]

We're gonna win the league

[Inconsequential]

Porteous has a three match suspension to serve. I assume Clarke will take his place in these matches. Simples.:agree:

[The 90+2]

Fixed. Next year.

Clarke will be Wing back. Don’t think McGinn has played there. He’ll be right of the back 3.

You can’t drop Cadden after his last performance and goal at Dundee Utd

[eastmainsmsh]

I’m sure Caldwell managed Mcginn at Chesterfield he has been brilliant for us

[JohnM1875]

Think Cadden has been excellent recently. One of the first names on the team sheet for me. I'm sure Clarke has been signed to play CB.

[Callum_62]

I'm sure we have signed these players on the basis of there goal celebrations

Melkerson with the backflip

I agree although this season not reached his usual heights. We have conceaded a good few goals from crosses coming in from his side.

He’s out of contract in 6 months and 31

A picture being painted already that we want a younger team with a few seniors in. We may well keep McGinn but I think he will no longer be a certainty for first team football every week now.

Which, by the way, I like

He may have a contract extension if he plays a certain amount of games, similar to Murphy I believe

[Northernhibee]

This sounds terrible but we should do whatever we can to make sure Murphy doesn’t get a contract extention through a clause like that. He’s been a catastrophic waste of a wage.

[Unseen work]

I can’t see him being our centre of a back 3 if Porteous goes or even really filling in there when he’s out.

He’s absolutely rapid and very good going forward, probably more comfortable on the ball than Cadden. Can see them two battling it out for wing back.

He could play McGinns role but I suppose it depends how adventurous Maloney wants his RCB being.

From his interview I think we’ll see him on the right.

[truehibernian]

I don't see McGinn getting much game time under Maloney, in fact I can see him being loaned out or leaving.

I think on the right hand side of a 3 sounds perfect for him. It’s practically a right back at times and he’ll have license to go forward when the time is right to do so.

That's a bit disappointing, in effect 3.x 6 monthly loan periods, anyway Hibs obviously happy with the deal.)

[Danderhall Hibs]

Our expected goals conceded (which is a stat evaluating the number and quality of shots we have faced) versus our actual goals conceded is up there with the worst in the league. That coupled with his reluctance to take crosses and his dreadful distribution make him the player I'm most keen to see us replace in the entire squad. Defence was excellent last season, only one thing has changed.

Read on here earlier that for actual goals conceded we’re 4th. Not bad - plus he comes for crosses and his distribution is no worse than almost every other goalie in the league.

A noisy minority going on about it a lot and that’s the most dangerous thing for him - imagine when he actually makes a mistake. At the moment a lot of folk are just expecting him to make one…

[Golden Bear]

I think we’d regret letting Paul McGinn leave and think Maloney will want to keep him.

I totally agree. Paul has seldom let us down and is one of the most consistent players we have. He's well worthy of his place in the squad.

[Stevie Reid]

Agree on both points. Good squad player at the very least - been an excellent signing.

[LunasBoots]

Yup may not fit in the new formation going forward.
