I think he's on an 18 month loan with Arsenal having chance to bring him back. Can't remember if they have that option in summer, but even if they do I'd be surprised if they take it up if he's played no football since the loan was set up.

Yeah they do have an option of a break clause in the summer and also next January.

Personally think he'll be away in the summer.

I would expect they want the clause so they can recall him if he does exceptionally well or they get a decent bid for him. Neither of those things are going to happen if he hasn't kicked a ball.

This might, just might be a really unlucky run of injuries the club have had, but the amount of players we sign that immediately have injury issues such as Murphy/Magennis/Clarke/Mitchell, or those that “need games to get up to speed” such as Meuller is really poor.

Then you get the likes of JDH who plays 3 or 4 games, and then is out for the same again leads us to having a midfield utterly devoid of any creativity like we saw again today.

I think our recruitment is still a bit scattergun at best, and we seem to sign more than our share of players that are made out of glass.

Not good enough, Hibs

Yeah I don't expect him to actually play for Arsenal but I just think he might be recalled and then sent on loan elsewhere next season once he's fit.

I certainly can't see him playing for us this season.

It’s the Level of player we can sign, we’re not signing guys who are playing every week as then that would command a fee higher than we can afford, even more if we’re buying players in Jan windows, so we’re trying to pick guys up on the back of 6 months barely doing anything, then throw into the mix a manager changing the style of play and the training regime to implement that, players will pick up muscle injuries as there working harder and playing more games.

Ideal world scenario is to have all transfer work done in the summer window and only add in Jan should the right guy become available but too many times we’ve failed in summer and Jan has been work to save the season hopefully that will change this year as judging by some of SM’s comments at agm for example they know the positions there needing to get right and are working on it now.

We continually sell our best player for good money and come nowhere near to replacing them with proven players, instead we sign untried loanees and laddies and seem to hope for the best.

It was a failed policy under the previous regime overseen by a bean counting chartered accountant, and to my mind it still pervades the club today, as the remnants of the old Board and their cautious mindset still prevails.

Situation with covid hasn’t helped the purse strings loosen since RG has came in, but he’s spent on Nisbet and melkerson agreed fee’s for jasper and bushiri and extended important players contracts at times previously we would have lost those players for next to nothing or absolutely nothing, I think bean counting is way wide of the mark.

It’s where we are as a club and country really even old firm are buying players to replace guys sold for big money based on potential nobody is buying the finished article up here

I think that's a fair comment but with one caveat. We were never going to be able to replace Boyle in January, so give the club the summer before judging whether or not we've spent the money we received.

That’s my point though - we never ever sell our best or perceived top players and bring in anything like a ready made replacement. Sold Kevin Thomson then buy players like Paddy Cregg, Scott Brown goes then we get the likes of Joe Keenan, or we churn over players like Darryl Duffy, and the biggest imposter I’ve ever seen in a Hibs strip, Rowan Vine, and so it goes.

There’s always seems to be a valid reason to sell our best player, and always an excuse not to spend even a quarter of what we bring in.

The previous Board’s mantra was “we need to keep money back for infrastructure” ad nauseum, and I’m sorry there’s shades of that with the current regime - a lot of talk about increasing the wage budget but where’s the evidence of it when it’s apparent to a blind man running backwards we need someone who can create and someone up top who can score goals, but there doesn’t seem to be any coherent plan to recruit exactly these type of players, and that’s down to one thing IMO, we simply will not spend the money required.

I don't think spending (or not spending) is much of an issue now. Spent a big fee by our standards on Melkersen. We’ve got two young players (McKay and Tait) who we paid six figure fees for out on loan. I just don’t think we’ve spent wisely as far as the here and now is concerned.

Stage of the season we’re at there’s no time for waiting, trying to get him match fit in bounce games etc.

If the injury is all right then it’s a case of getting on with things IMO. Not sure he’ll start but if he’s back training, he might be in the squad.

Was skeptical he'd ever play for Hibs given other interest and his injury but good to see I was wrong and he's looking to get involved over the next few games. Was happy when he signed as he looked a good player in the few times I'd seen him and he offers a bit of pace and a direct approach that can turn our build up to a more aggressive press.

As I said on the match thread, I thought he was poor until the goal. He was a lot better second half. I’m not convinced he’s as good going forward as either Cadden or Doig though and I’d rather he was put back to centre back when Rocky went off than Cadden.

He's techincally very good and has explosiveness over 5-10 yards. I think he looks better than both going forward.

I doubt there was anyone happier than me in January when we signed him, I’ve been a fan of his for a while and thought he was brilliant at County.

I was a bit perplexed when I saw him at left wing back though and for me the opening half hour or so he looked a bit lost. Let’s not forget he’s predominantly a centre half/right back and to be honest it looked like it imo. He seemed quite deep when on the ball and his back was to goal, mainly playing it back when on it. A couple of times he got it in forward positions he seemed a bit unsure including one where he tripped doing a step over in the box. I’ll be honest I think he was poor for the goal we conceded too and he was very flat footed which allowed United to put a cross in - I was willing to put this down to being rusty though having not played in months.

Near the end of the first half he found himself central and hit a fantastic strike which the goalie tipped over, 5 minutes later he scored a brilliant goal. The composure and ability for the touch was brilliant and a good finish on his weak foot.

Second half he came out full of confidence and looked like he had been a left wing back all his career. He was playing first time passes into the centre of the park, burst down the wing and received the second pass. He was cutting inside and playing some lovely passes to Melkersen, one was a through ball and the other looked like he’d cross it but he played a sly ball to feet and wanted it laid back into him but Melkersen wasn’t switched on. He was brilliant for a spell in that second half and made me feel like an idiot for my first half thoughts :greengrin

I think what yesterday showed is just how good a player he is and how he’s capable of playing numerous positions, I’m still not sure I’d have him at left wing back but him being in the starting 11 with his energy, pace, athleticism and ability is a huge boost.

I’d get him signed permanently tomorrow if there was any possibility of it.

Good to see Harry Clarke making his debut at long last.
But as per Unseen Works post I was baffled as to why Maloney played him at LWB.
Did Maloney not trust him to play as RCB in the back three ? This was even more baffling when Messrs Rocky,Hanlon and Doig didn’t exactly do themselves any favours for the Dundee United goal.
I thought when Rocky was subbed for Drey Wright (the baffle fest continued ) that Clarke would move to RCB but he seemed to flit back and forward across the field,not seeming to know what his role was supposed to be.
Positives,he kept plugging away even when things weren’t going for him and scored a fine goal.Also he seemed to be absolutely delighted to be on the pitch (not always the case for some Hibs players this season.
Just hope Maloney doesn’t mess him about any more and ensure that he plays him in the positions he will be most effective in.
No more bafflement please Shaun.

Remember this post. Sums up this place.

If you want more of this content then look for Magennis soon to retire from injury posts. There’s plenty about. Same muppets posting.

Except that it isn’t the same people ( person) and the context is completely different.

Looks a player. He fairly gets around the pitch and gets involved. Pleasing debut.

You and thinking appear strangers.

Di you think someone just out of rehab and nowhere near fit will play on saturday...or were you being facetious?

I think you might be talking *****?

Looks good but not overly confident he'll be here next year with Arsenal including that summer clause.

Looked a tremendous player wouldn't be playing on the left to be honest. Don't think we wanted to play Rocky centre of a three. Personally would play him right centre back with Hanlon and Stevenson with Doig left in the Derby.

Agree. Doig has to play wide for me. Don't think he's anywhere near good enough defensively to play CB. He's also rapid and gets us up the pitch so think a wide position suits him better.

Could Harry play up front for a spell? He has pace, he’s skilful and direct.

We are well covered on the RHS and in defence.

Just an idea.

He said on his post match interview yesterday, that he started his career as a centre forward

He looks like he could play anywhere. A DMA RLC from the old days of Championship Manager.

Interesting.

It was a striker's finish.

Well done today Harry. The only man today who showed anything like fight & passion we need in a derby.
