would have been a solid ten had they not messed around with the paperwork which might scupper the whole gig
High hopes for Mckirdy
I have always thought we created enough chances in most games to win.
We played with ten men all the time
This guy will hopefully make the difference
We can lose two if we score three.

An interesting window. Marshall and the return of Boyle hugely positive. Manyvof the other players i must confess id never or barely heard of. I think we'll get better as the season progresses but there are still issues IMO that still havent been fully addressed. The balance of the midfield still isnt right and i think we're a battle hardened centre back short. McKirdy a very interesting signing has ability but a question mark over his application I mean he only signed last night and Lee's in hospital already :)

02-09-2022, 12:18 PM
We’re a CM of quality short so I’ll say 7. These things have to be judged after the event as none of us have a clue how the new additions will get on. What I will say is that I hope they make an immediate impact as something has to change……and soon.
JohnM1875

Could be a 7 or could be a 5 for me, depends how McKirdy settles in. Still quite pissed off we didn't sign a good experienced CM.

Can't really underestimate how good it is to have Boyle and Marshall and some of the youngsters/ obscure lads might turn out to be good. I'm pretty pleased we've signed a big striker too.
Not great that we haven't made more of attempt to sort the achilles heel of a midfield we have, which could really come back to bite us.
Looks a lot better than it did this time yesterday.
If the bar is what we did under Stubbs then it's poor. If the bar is what it's been in recent years then it's been pretty good.
Sir David Gray
02-09-2022, 12:31 PM
5/10 mainly because of the signings of Boyle and Marshall.
Neglecting the midfield is a big negative for me and remains a significant cause for concern and I also think we're short in defence.
I remain concerned but I'm hoping that Marshall will save us a few points throughout the season and Boyle and McKirdy will win us a few points too.
That's us for the next 4 months so we just need to hope for the best now.
James70
02-09-2022, 12:31 PM
Couldn't possibly give a score until we know the result of the McKirdy saga which could be a massive signing or another balls up after leaving it to the last minute again. Pity we didn't learn from our last experience whether it was us or Swindon to blame it should have been sorted much sooner.
Stuarty1875
02-09-2022, 12:33 PM
6.5 - Happy with Boyle, Marshall, Cabraja and Youan. Disappointed we haven’t strengthened midfield and centre back positions enough.
Hopefully McKirdy can hit the ground running though we need to start creating more chances for our forwards.

To be fair we have actually done very. very well in my opinion when you actually take the time to look at those incoming. I'm ignoring the players that have come in for the development team (many of whom look fantastic) and concentrated on first team players. It's actually been a brilliant window that is just missing a Pirlo style, experienced midfielder to get us all going....we'll see what January brings (or even free agents before then ?)
Boyle - brilliant to have him back and fantastic that Hibs found the finances to do a deal
McKirdy - looks like the sort of goal hungry, high confidence player we need to turn chances into goals
Marshall - brilliant signing, huge upgrade
Youan - pacey, direct, good touch, already creating goals, just needs to score some.
Cabraja - aggresive, fast, good tackler, great crosser, experienced - great replacement for Josh
McGeady - the injury was a big blow, if he can come back and stay in the team he will make a huge difference with guile, experience and skill
Rocky - maybe signed in a stange way but has actually proved our best defender till his injury
all the above look top quality (in SPL terms)
Miller
Kenneh
Have both done well enough as they settle in to see that they could become excellent players for us
Tavares
Bojang
Exciting but raw..could turn into special players, could end up as duds
Fish
Kukhareveych
Both come in to positions we need players (central defender and big unit up front)
quite how well they do is still to be seen, but nice to be finding players from teams other than St Mirren :greengrin

Boyle back is massive, some signings look questionable but hopefully others will come good. McKirdy looks like he could be a real hit. Midfield drags us down but overall:

Would have been much higher if we signed less players who aren’t first team ready and was more focused. As it is we have a very large squad with some major gaps and that can’t be cheap.

3/10 - Points for volume, but despite that still no playmaker and without that I expect the results or the style - or worse, still both - to be grim.
On reflection I'm going to revise this up to a 3.5 for the signing of someone with a name like Will Fish. It turns out that his middle name is Thomas too so we have actually signed a genuine WTF.
If we could somehow add a centre back partner in the January window with any surname from a pool of Chips, Supper or Food I'd say we have completed Scottish football.

If anyone had suggested in June that we'd sign Boyle, Cabraja, Marshall and McGeady, while keeping Porteous and selling Doig for a fortune, they'd have been laughed at.
Come September we have done exactly that, along with other promising players and folk are saying that it's been a terrible window. Someone has actually gaven it 0/10.
And we call other teams' fans entitled!

On the flip side, if anyone had said that all we’d have done to improve centre half and midfield, from last year, was sign two 19 year olds with two first team games between them, they’d have been laughed at for that. Because it would have seemed totally inexplicable that that’s all we’d do. Yet, come September, that’s all we’ve done.
Nothing to do with being entitled in pointing out that it’s a major problem for us.
On the four you mention, nobody would have disputed Marshall and Boyle but McGeady split opinion and nobody had a clue who Cabraja was.

jeffers
02-09-2022, 01:18 PM
Obviously it’s a rating as of now, some of the signings could come good, but it’s a 3 for me. The only player who has looked to be an improvement on what we already had is Marshall, with some promise from a few others. Of course getting Boyle back was brilliant. However watching us last week, getting outplayed by St Mirren with the terrible trio in midfield yet again I saw nothing to suggest we had improved on last season. That’s despite a number of signings and big money being paid in fees/wages.
Still time to improve if the new signings hit their straps.
Souter96Mac
02-09-2022, 01:22 PM
B-
Main highlight has been Boyle. Very pleased with Marshall thus far.
As others have said, Youan and Cabraja look like good additions.
Excited by McKirdy, he looks like he'll add some nippy swagger to the team, which could cause some drama no doubt.
Big drawbacks have been not addressing the centre back and centre mid situations.
I think we were maybe limited with what we could do in midfield, with several of the current player on 2/3 year deals and not easy to move on.
Defensively we've been crying out for an experienced/established head in there. Can only hope the players there can perform.

:agree: It's incedible. A midfielder would have pushed it up to a 10/10 for me. We've also managed to get the likes of Drey Wright and Macey off the wage bill. It's been a huge turn around of players and a lot of work has gone into it. Well done to those involved.

I don’t think it’s all bad but do you really believe we’re 1 player away from a 10/10 window?
Releasing the out of contract players was a no brainer.
Managing to get Macey, Doidge and McGinn moved on was a positive.
Marshall and Boyle 2 clear improvements. But that 2 out of 16 (I know a number have still to play).
Youan and Cabraja have both made reasonable impact so far but we’ll need to see more.
And we still have some glaring weaknesses that haven’t been addressed.

4 for me,hope to goodness i am wrong tho.
6 - scored based on "on paper" and results so far, ask me again in a few months time when players are settled and we see the results!
Some potentially great bits of business (getting a quality GK in quickly was key, as well as moving quick to replace Doig). Never in a month of Sundays thought we'd have a chance to see Boyle back so soon either!
Still some gaps I'm stunned we haven't addressed, but let's see how Lee shuffles the pack over the next few months and how some of the young uns / lesser known signings perform - far too early to be writing off anyone at this stage.

Boyle and Marshall are brilliant signings. McKirdy looks a character and someone the fans will take to. Cabraja and Youan I'm very happy with too. A quality midfielder and I'd have been delighted. Still am. We need to start somewhere. We need another couple of windows before it's a LJ team though and last season won't be fixed overnight.

Nobody is saying it will be (or should be) fixed overnight because we were terrible last year.
But there are areas that have been totally neglected that will continue to give us an issue. And that’s despite us signing 16 players. I think quality over quantity would have been better because there will be a fair number in there who contribute very little and the churn will continue.

Lack of a solid central midfielder has turned what would have been a very good transfer window (Boyle, Marshall, Youan) into a fairly mediocre one.

We’ve signed 6/7 core players that go straight into the first team and improve us - based on that alone, it has been successful.
We have then brought in younger talent who probably will need time to adjust but give us much needed depth.
McGeady adds experience, though i’m not sure it was the best signing.

Not too far from this myself although I like what Ive seen from Kenneh and miller aware they still have a bit to do yet and although he missed a couple of pens I was thinking mcgeady was starting to show a bit quality before his injury
Boyle keeps the score higher*
Attacking side def improved, wing backs improved but still light in CD and midfield remains a mystery.

Its impossible to tell in all honesty ..... Marshall and Boyle are the obvious standouts, but the rest are such an unknown quantity even though some have had game time that it's almost impossible to tell whether or not LJ can actually make a decent team out of them.
Cabraja .... has looked decent and at least as good as Doig .... could end up a good signing, had a wee dip against St Mirren, but then who didn't and at least he had a good reason to be off his game.
Miller .... Seems to have all the physical attributes, but so long as Cadden and Boyle are hogging the right side I can't see how he'll get a start.
Henderson ... looked decent in the middle in pre season, looks absolutely lost on the left ... jury definitely out if that remains the case, could do with a few hours in the gym coz he's far too easy brushed off the ball.
McGeady .... Obvious quality, but second serious injury in a year .... bad luck or old age?
Tavares ..... Not exactly set the heather on fire when given a game, could improve but I wouldn't put money on it.
Kenneh .... Not done a lot wrong, his stats are good and even scored a goal, definite promise.
Youan .... Could be a real asset, a goal wouldn't do him any harm, especially after that shocking miss at St Mirren, but the signs look good for him.
Bushiri .... A big 'meh' when we signed him, but changed a few minds with his early season form ... the Hibs injury curse strikes again.
Bojang .... I don't think the manager rates him, gonna spend a lot of time on the bench or even the development team.
Fish .... OK a 5 year deal at Man United which sounds impressive, but failing to get a game in the English 5th tier certainly doesn't, lets hope whatever Man Utd see in him manifests itself in a Hibs shirt.
McKirdy .... As good a highlight reel as you'll see, the guy looks the absolute business. If he can bring that to Hibs he could be the story of our season, the three concerns are 1) a bit of a loose cannon by the sound of it, not always a bad thing so long as it doesn't affect him on the pitch. 2) Being brilliant in the 4th level of the EFL might not translate to being brilliant in the SPL. 3) A paperwork cock up might not see him play for us until January ... but I have to admit I'm quite excited to see this guy play so lets hope that isn't the case.
Kukharevych .... A pretty poor scoring record, but he does bring much needed height to the forward line and he simply cant be as ineffective as Doidge has been ... but yet another punt, one of seemingly many, by our transfer committee.
Like everybody else I'm astonished we haven't beefed up the midfield, it seems so glaringly obvious that if you are going to sign 16 players at least two of them should be aimed at the part of the team that everybody and their dug knows needs help.
If even 4 of the players mentioned ( not Boyle or Marshall ) start to make an impact and become regulars who improve the team then it will be an 8/10 window .... If they don't then it will be a 5/10 at best.

The funny thing about Rocky is if we signed another centre half who put in the performances he has this season we’d be delighted.
But because of last season/how he was viewed it almost doesn’t feel as big a deal that we’ve got him permanently.
Been our best defender by a mile this season imo.

As part of a total squad refresh and establishment of a development team, the benefits of which on the first team in years to come will be interesting 9
We have plenty bodies in midfield but are yet to find a decent blend
Centre half situation is grim.
this time next year we will be looking for 3 all capable of starting
3/10 - Points for volume, but despite that still no playmaker and without that I expect the results or the style - or worse, still both - to be grim.

I agree with that. It's important not to overuse him and burn him out. He's still a young man and has some physical development to go, but I think we're a better, more balanced side when he's been included.
How much will he ever be fit? Even if he is the answer it just shifts the question to left wing and having to play Youan as he’s the closest we have.
We have to wait and see, regarding fitness, he is still being paid though and we can't end up with a 40 odd pool, as it was at the tail end of the 20th century, when McLeish was saddled with Duffy's signings and our debt mounted.

Sign a midfielder to supply the forwards and it’s a 10.

I might bump my score up by 1 or 2 - simply because I’m looking forward to the game today so much more than I have looked forward to any other Hibs game for a while.
Big centre forward, character like McKirdy, another centre half - all of whom we badly needed.
Yes, we could have done with a bit more work on the midfield but we’ve actually strengthened all over the park outside that.
I was never really convinced by Nisbet and or Doidge and we have loads of alternatives and options in that part of the pitch now.

I’d suspect McKirdy will be the only one we see today.

I gave 5/10 without really thinking about it too deeply but looking at each signing in isolation I would give the following marks;
Ewan Henderson - 4
David Marshall - 8
Nohan Kenneh - 5
Rocky Bushiri - 6
Lewis Miller - 4
Jair Tavares - 3
Kyle McClelland - 2
Aiden McGeady - 3
Marijan Čabraja - 6
Martin Boyle - 9
Momodou Bojang - 3
Elie Youan - 5
That gives a total of 58 points which over 12 players gives an average 4.8 which is pretty close to my initial thoughts.
Add in the others who haven't played yet all we can really score them on is potential;
Ryan Schofield - 4
Mykola Kukharevych - 4
Will Fish - 4
Harry McKirdy - 7
That still gives a score of around 5/10 which I think is fair enough. I suspect people may give a few different individual scores but I think the overall outcome will be around the same result.

Thanks I just wondered if I was perhaps being too harsh with my initial assessment after seeing so many people giving 8/10 as their score so I thought it was worthwhile going through each player individually to reassess my score.
Having done that I still think 5/10 is pretty much where we are right now in terms of the success of our summer window. Not great but could have been a lot worse without the signings of Marshall and Boyle who I believe are two of the best players in the country outside of Glasgow.

Would be mine. I gave us a 5 and I come out at 5.08 so about right really.
