Elliot Anderson got interest from Scottish clubs (loads of EFL clubs too). Loan from Newcastle and think he is a winger/attacking midfielder. Would imagine we could be one of them. Had a decent season at Bristol Rovers last season.

He’s really highly rated and done well on loan last season and got called up by Scotland 21’s iirc.

Would be a loan with no option to buy I’d imagine and another really young player but if he’s the best we can get then why not.

Dundee United trying to get McGrath and Levitt.

If they get them along with Gogic and Zander Clark they’re looking strong.

Gogic 😂

Defender from L1 England incoming. Big tall lad, mid 20s.

Another Aussie?

[Unseen work]

Gogic 😂

Sure they were linked with him.

He’s maybe not the best on the ball but he’s very effective, especially in a Jack Ross team with potentially Levitt and McGrath next to him

Cameron Burgess?

Cameron Burgess?

I was thinking Jay Rich-Baghuelou, but he only signed for his lg1 club in January so maybe no, and not sure of his age, maybe 22 or 23.

Clark Robertson maybe

Daniel Mackay looks likely to be going to Raith Rovers on loan.

[sambajustice]

Probably been mentioned somewhere in the 300 pages but would Tom Rogic be worth Hibs looking into?

Not sure his back story for leaving Celtic. The boy is brilliant though, even if you do only 60 minutes out him!

Didn't think there would be much chance but just wondering if he's just kicking about doing nothing, can't imagine he'd be on incredible wages going back to Australia.

Read he was back using Celtic facilities but dunno how true that is.

I'd imagine be well sounded out by this stage though by potential suitors

Proper FM signing that is. Signed him many a time for the Hibees on loan from Newcastle in FM22, if he's half as good in real life as he's rated there I'll be chuffed.

[supermcginn]

West brom and stoke favourites to sign Anderson. I'd be absolutely amazed if he came here, Eddie Howe hasn't ruled out him staying at Newcastle this season he's that highly rated.

Yep, very good business.

I think the top 4 is pretty settled again. United still not signed anyone really and Arsenal season over already if these Partey rumors are true. Spurs, Chelsea, City and Liverpool should be getting those places easily, probably in the same order again.

If Partey is in the jail, they are weaker. They now need at least 2 quality central midfielders. They're plans are really in turmoil right now. It is looking good for spurs but never more than a Kane or son injury away from toiling.

You haven't though, have you. It's actually a very recent thing. Even Artetas first full season wasn't like this, signing guys like William. Infact, it's been 1 season with this strategy.

They've won more than Spurs since Wenger left. No trophies for finishing above your rivals. I know which I'd prefer.

Sanchez :faf: his career absolutely nosedived. Great example

Failure to finish in Europe in his first full season in charge and bottling a four point lead with three games to go for Champions League, getting battered at Spurs home in the process. Back to playing Thursday and Sunday’s this season. Arsenal are nothing special, neither are Spurs, but Spurs are a lot better.

Sanchez has won the Serie A and Coppa Italia within the last two seasons. Hardly a fall from grace.

Richarlson just adds depth. They have Son and Kane.

Arsenal needed to sign a striker as they have none of any note. Can’t see Arsenal getting near Spurs this season.

Don’t really care about Spurs or Arsenal tbh but I can see Arteta coming under pressure if things do not click for him right away this season

Not a fan of Jesus either based on the amount of times I had him to score ‘ next goal’ and he didn’t deliver last season

I can see why Citee let him go

I loved Allan's time at Hibs, one of my favourite players in the last decade.

But I think he'll have a real hard time finding a club. No doubt on the talent but a lot of clubs will struggle to justify someone, particularly a midfielder, who doesn't get about much, can't tackle and won't last much more than 60 mins.

Obviously a much higher level but suspect similar to the issues Cristiano Ronaldo is facing. How many clubs want to be sign a player at the wrong end of their career, will ask for a big wage, can't press etc.

Partey is better than hojlberg, tomiyasu is much better than Emerson or doherty, saka would clearly start along side kane and son in the front three over anyone else they have, Romero is probably the best CB out of the two clubs but I'd rather have white or Gabriel over dier or Sanchez.

Spurs are a better side but there's not much in it, your last statement is complete nonsense. If that was the case there would have been a lot more than two points separating them last season.

[Unseen work]

Weirdly I never wanted Fletcher at us but can see him being a very good signing for United.

From reading stoke fans views on him they thought he was past it, slow and injury prone.

I suppose a run of games and not being injured though he could look quality. His touch, holding up and heading could be very important in a Jack Ross team.

Good move for fletch. Glad we avoided

Don't know much about the state of Fletcher these days - his pace, his fitness, his hunger.

Looks to be decent business United are doing though. Good manager putting a few good players together.

3rd - 6th could be very competitive next season.

United under Ross, Killie under McInnes, a stronger Hibs and Aberdeen and our neighbours. Will be very interesting.

Same here, I can’t remember much of him but I mind Harkes in the 3-1 cup game having quite a good second half, constantly wanting the ball and trying to make things happen.

[hibsforeurope]

Have we done enough to break in to the top 6 then ultimately into the top 4 yet?

[Lago]

That's who he's talking about, no?
Yip, my bad should take my time, speed reading not my thing. 🙄

[Tha Cabbage Kid]

Partey is better than hojlberg, tomiyasu is much better than Emerson or doherty, saka would clearly start along side kane and son in the front three over anyone else they have, Romero is probably the best CB out of the two clubs but I'd rather have white or Gabriel over dier or Sanchez.

Spurs are a better side but there's not much in it, your last statement is complete nonsense. If that was the case there would have been a lot more than two points separating them last season.Hearing the name Doherty still grits my bones!

Levitt scored a couple of cracking goals last season, one against Celtic I think. Apart from that I never noticed him. I think those goals got lots of peoples attention.

[Smartie]

Fletcher strikes me as being a bit like Brewster. Was never really all about pace so could keep going for ages through having a good football brain, a good touch and looking after himself.

Could be excellent with the right players around him. Could be a Shefki Kuqi / Jonatan Johansson disaster.

[WeeRussell]

It’s not saying a great deal, I know, but both Levitt and Fletcher would have absolutely strolled into our team last season.

I think they’re two very useful signings for Utd.

[.Sean.]

I’d like to have signed Fletcher but it’s probably more for nostalgic/ sentimental reasons. He’s never been the most prolific either

:agree:

I’d have been happy to have him back at Hibs.

[04Sauzee]

Was convinced we'd have signed a CB this week, maybe still trying to make some space for additions?

[Alex Trager]

Fletcher scored 3 goals in 40 appearances last term with 0 assists.

9 goals in 42 the season before.

A goal every 7 games essentially over the two seasons.
A goal every 13 games essentially over last season.

Couple that with the fact he is 35 and the Stoke fans were saying he is past it, could hardly move and was regularly injured, if that was any other striker that hadn’t played with Hibs before, I’d expect many would be calling the signing out as a poor one.

I was working on the basis that Doidge was moving on and Fletcher coming in, which I would have been happy with.

I’m not gutted to not be signing him though.

[Since452]

I'm surprised Rod Petrie didn't include a clause saying Fletcher had to end his career at Hibs when we sold him. Absolutely smashed the small print in that contract. Must be our most profitable player sale over the years?

Watched him a few times for United and also saw him play for Wales - he’s a classy player and would walk into every non old firm team and to be honest would have been a good signing for Celtic or the Huns IMO.

[bingo70]

I thought he looked superb last season, dominated the midfield area and worked his socks off, I would have loved Hibs to have got him.

Did he do that against Hibs?

I’m not saying you’re wrong BTW. I generally don’t really notice opposition players but he’s not one that really jumped out at me as standing out. I couldn’t even tell you if he played against us.

[B.H.F.C]

I thought he looked superb last season, dominated the midfield area and worked his socks off, I would have loved Hibs to have got him.

I know they play against a lot of other teams but certainly not against Hibs.

They finished fourth last year but I thought they were really average as a team with nobody standing out. I obviously missed something with how much folk are speaking about him but I just can’t remember anyone in that side being better than average.

[JimBHibees]

I’m sure they’re best mates.

Played in the 1-1 at Easter Road near the end of the season and he didn't stand out. In saying that I still believe he's a good player and will do well for Utd .

As mentioned in the article he wants to stay in Scotland for now, I can see him ending up at somewhere like St Johnstone on loan if he wants regular game time. I’m sure he will still have aspirations of playing for Wales.

He was going to be called up around the time he got injured. Chances are probably slim now unless he gets back to banging goals in.

[Dmas]

I don’t know seems fair, there’s interest from down south and he chose to stay cause his mrs is doing a law degree up here, definitely sounds as though the choice was given to CD to leave if he wanted too.

JD looks to on his way then according to that as well also comes over that there’s a replacement lined up already which is good news I’d hate to be left scrambling to find someone should this drag on further into the window

[micksoo]

Closer than you might think. He would have been the squad at the start of last season (Finland I think) if he had not been injured.

[Dazzjw1875]

Sounds like Doig won't be here too much longer and definitely by end of the window! Hopefully would rather it was sooner to reuse the cash. Im confident LJ will bring in Quality and tbh prob already has a few things lined up in advance.

We are fortunate enough to have Stevenson then Mitchell as cover, for me Stevenson is a better player than Doig anyway, if there was ever a player I'd be happy to lose for 2 or 3m it's Josh Doig, he's defensively suspect, he doesn't contribute with goals and assists, don't see the fuss personally..

[JimBHibees]

Derby wide player talented

[Since452]

[Tyler Durden]

Not odd IMO.

He doesn’t state “we’re dying to keep him”. LJ is basically alerting Scottish teams that Doidge is available IMO.

[ian cruise]

Stoke fans responding to Dundee Utd fans online are saying these days Fletcher plays well as part of two upfront, not scoring much and not much pace but still holding the ball up and creating for others.

If that's true then it's definitely for the best we didn't sign him, as that doesn't seem to be the system we're playing and we have Doidge who can do that role should we choose to.

[HendoDelivered]

Been mentioned that the centre back is 24, tall and played in league 2, mention of Aapo Halme but is there any truth in that or is it someone else? Seems odd LJ and BK supposedly said it was done when in Portugal.

That's as honest a response as I've seen from a Hibs manager to that type of questioning. I didn't take it that Doig was definitely away, but certainly setting expectations that we'll let him move if the right offer comes in as we want players who want to be here.

Similarly it read to me like there's been a very honest conversation with Doidge saying there can be a place for him but there is a performance expectation and he's not a guaranteed starter, up to him if he wants to stay and earn that place or if he wants to try his luck elsewhere.

Obviously the real proof starts Saturday but I get the impression that LJ is creating the right type of environment to get the best out of the players we have. Clear and honest expectations and making sure people are enjoying being at the club. If so, that's a recipe for success.

[Paulie Walnuts]

I know nothing about him but his statistics don’t scream cracking signing. Admittedly though that’s far from the only thing that matters.

I agree with JimBhibees. I think we'll see a completely different JDH to the one we saw under Maloney.

But .net rule is every other teams players are better then ours. JDH was exceptional when he started with us and then struggled post covid and the shackles of no risk football. I fully except him to be excellent once more now we have Kenneh in the no6 role.

our last fixture before the World Cup is the 12th of November, I wouldn’t be surprised if we don’t see him before that, and the 5 weeks or so of the World Cup means he can get some solid training in with LJ and the rest of the squad without matches disrupting that period

I’d expect that to be the case.

I think he had indicated he wanted to be fit and available for the World Cup should we get there. If we had then Hibs may have been more tempted to try rush him back to an extent to get him there. Without the World Cup though I’d imagine he’ll be out until the winter break is finished.
