Kenneh, Youan, Bojang, Cabraja, McGeady will all show their worth this season

Youan.

I think Marshall will be our best signing other than Boyle but I’d find it hard to be excited about a keeper!

Youan, Mitchell and obviously Boyle

That front 3 is so pacy and could cause teams alot of problems

I don't think Bojang will make much of an impression but I agree with the others. Injury may stop McGeady, and I'd also add Marshall to the list, who I really like.

Bojang and the others I'm still looking forward to seeing, ideally not so much this season as I don't think they're ready.

Beyond this season - Bradley, Melkerson, Tavares, Bojang, Delferriere, McClelland - all of these players I could see developing and becoming a big part of a very good Hibs team. They'll need management though.

I don't so much have an issue with the players we're brought in but the number we left ourselves needing to bring in, and the number of first team ready players we brought in.

Youan has shown so far he will be a good signing in my opinion with a lot of pace and power and also skillful.

Cabraja likes to whip a ball in and also looks like he has good energy, while not at his best last Saturday I still have high hopes for him.

Marshall runs Boyle a close second as our best signing.

Boyle, Marshall, Kenneh, Youan, Cabraja all seem like very good signings to me and likely big improvements. Boyle and Youan have already 3 goal involvements.

I hope Tavares gets the chance to come good, I like the look of Bojang and would like to see him get some time on the pitch that isn't just the last few minutes of a game.

Glad I’m not the only one.

Apart from Boyle, Marshall is the obvious one. Arguably our best signing including Boyle. Like a few other keepers in the league he will show his worth over the season and will pitch in getting us points that we'd have possibly dropped in previous years. I know calling a goal keeper exciting may be a bit much, but he's going to be hughely influential across the season if he stays fit. There's a reason why he's the new captain.

Every single one of them. Obviously you don’t think so or you wouldn’t have asked a question that has been asked more than once on other threads.

Agree with those, think Kenneh will need more bedding in time though due to not having played first team football before. Marshall instantly put us back having one of the top 4 keepers in the league, and will be worth a lot of points this season (like Gordon is to Hearts).

Don't think Tavares, Bojang, or McGeady will be successes.

Should have said hopeful about rather than excited.

Unsurprisingly the ones that have actually played at a decent level and over a period of time.

Marshall
Boyle
Cabraja
Youan
McGeady

Kenneh to a lesser extent

Merkleson will be a good signing and think delferriere has looked really good anytime I've seen him too!

Marshall and Boyle most important but no resell so we need results to make their wages pay. Kenneh and Melkerson I think will make it so a chance of some good money and performances in the years to come. Youan could be excellent but I think he is just a loan. I don't think Taveres, Mitchell and McGeady will be anything more than bit part players either for their quality or through injury and availability. Cabraja should be good but I'm not seeing it yet and I have a feeling he will be below what was expected

As confused as everyone else. Also can’t be Mitchell the goalie as he has left!

Marshall is a fantastic signing, will make a huge difference to us over the course of a season
Cabraja looks excellent to me for someone who is still bedding in. likes a tackle, looks forward with his passing and delivers a fantastic cross
Youan looks like a proper fast, skillful forward if we get him in behind and use his pace alongside boyle's he will score goals
Keneh I'm convinced will get better and better, I just wish he had a proper experienced head alongside him in midfield to mentor him
Bojang has energy and pace..if we can harness it, he will be an asset
Boyle obviously it's great to have him back
Melkerson, I still have a very good feeling about the Melky Bar Kid

Strangely McGeady is the signing that has inspired me the least, mainly because I would have preferred our expensive "old head top level experience" signing to have been in the centre of midfield, orchestrating things and setting the tempo for the game.

Absolutely agree with your last paragraph!

The McIntyre Brothers new contracts for me. This season will be transitional for the club but I think 2023 will be a big year for them both.

Boyle
Cabraja
Youan
Marshall
They 4 are a total upgrade on anything we had.

Kenneh I think will get better as the weeks go on, if we can sign a LCB I'd probably be fairly content with this window, add a midfield playmaker and a proper goalscorer I'll be delighted.

This. Add to Porteous and Cadden and you have the clear makings of a top 4 team. However, if the myriad of other signings stop us bringing in the experienced players through the spine we need then it's going to be another hit and miss season, and we will reflect on another failed, scattergun window overall IMO.

If McGeady gets anywhere near his best he will be the best by a country mile.

Oscar is a lovely, lovely footballer isn't he? Bit small and slight, but his touch reminds me of Murph. Looks to have great technique as well.

I think some of them may have something to offer in time notably Youan and Cabraja in particular, McGeady when fit .

I’ve heard that Oscar (I think he’s the older one?) is tipped for big big things. Also not really on topic but Jack Brydon being another one. He’s the next ‘Porteous’.

Seen a bit of Jack and that's how id describe him. Not ready yet though, made a bit of a howler the other week for Edinburgh, tripped over the ball in his box from a pass from the keeper. Still a bit rash, but another season with EFC and I think he'll be closer. Sure he's a massive Hibby as well and desperate to make it at the club.

Aye, FCE were desperate to get him back. I don’t think they would’ve if they’d still been in league 2.

They reckon he’s better than Porto was at the same age which can only bode well.

Mcgennis McGeady and Nisbet back along with a new CB will do for me.

Watched Jack 2/3 weeks ago against St Mirren. Nowhere near our first team standard yet. Rash in the tackle, has yet to find a St Mirren player with a forward pass! Not happy to say this but that is what I witnessed!
