Winter 2022-23 transfer thread

[Callum_62]

I’m with Brightside on this Bingo, but it is a valid question. The fact we’ve not brought anyone in yet suggests we need to move players on before we can bring others in and/or we are probably looking at the loan market.Why does it suggest that?

Who's signed players this window?

Aberdeen
Celtic

Anyone else?

Or we are working on it and need to get them over the line! You can read anything you want into this, as people are doing, based on their inherent feelings towards the current owner, staff and manager. We WANT to move players on, we have said that, doesn't mean it's linked to brining anyone new in though, easily separate things, but if we do get a fee for Porto or clear wages we can use that to put towards better quality players coming in on fees or wages.

We should not be waiting, this is one of those situations were you very clearly need to speculate to accumulate. Worse still, the negative spiral opposite is true if we don't speculate and fast. It is a clear a signal of the incompetence which has been rife at the club for a good while now - and which appears to persist even now - that we are stuck in the financial straightjacket we're being forced to wear.

It is not unreasonable to expect that the club with the worst form in the league and the fifth highest resources would be among the first to make signings given the trouble we are in. Every day that passes without the new faces we so clearly need puts our chances of grabbing points from our remaining fixtures at risk.

[Brightside]

I think we know we might have to replace the manager shortly and don’t want to give him any money as he’s wasted so much already.

I think we may also need to keep money back to pay him off.

It’s a bit of a chicken and egg situation but I think most people would recognise if we lose on Sunday there’s a fair chance he’ll get sacked, with that being the case does it make sense to back him now? Probably not and probably not fair on any player we were to bring in.

100% we need to gamble right now and get proven quality in the door. In the same way we should have gambled on that at the start of the season to try and get 3rd. The time for projects is so far away from where we are right now.

Think Motherwell and Hearts are about to sign players rather than have signed them.

Motherwell expecting to have two people in before we play them. Hearts signing of that Japanese boy been approved by authorities.

No idea about St Mirren.

You’re contradicting yourself. Proven quality is not a gamble-that’s the whole point surely. We did gamble in the close season and it hasn’t paid off.

Its only the 6th of jan..Dont panic, DONT PANIC!

Exactly, although i heard its only the 6th of August and i heard its only the 6th of Jan last season, and i heard similar the season before and the one before that.

And our midfield on the 2nd of Jan this year was Cadden Newell Campbell and Youan, despite signing about 500 players in the last 3 years.

No nonsense CH, think he’d actually be a decent signing.

This thread should have its own rubber sheet! Calm down!!

While there is no doubt we are in a mess,
if LJ speaking out and the recruitment structure being changed mean we get rid of this dumb model then thats huge. We need to clear the decks and not add anymore to our huge pay bill until others are out the door.
If we hold our nerve and avoid the hysteria we can come through this strongly and long term. The club is well run and they are smart enough to know the damage to the club and its value if we carry on down this recruitment route.
Let's see what happens next.

I’m disillusioned Jimmy but what I really want is the owner to come out and admit without avoidance and bristling at the rightfully aimed criticism that his decisions around recruitment and the people he’s appointed in that role are very very wrong and damaging the football club.

Matty and Co tried during a recent interview but all I was left with was rhetoric (from RG), indignant refutation that the club weren’t going down the wrong path, and that in his eyes everything was rosy - and more importantly that he really really doesn’t get how passionate we are for our club to succeed on the pitch and regain our identity and unite the support. All I hear is his absolute insistence that ‘we’ll get it right’. His decision making has been awful, on and off the field, his appointments have been terrible, and his silence when it matters - and he’s a very bullish guy - is as worrying as it is infuriating.

Our supporters have been incredible - really incredible - but that blind faith only lasts so long. Top to toe this club is a shambles at present and the buck stops with him - end of. I don’t see him putting money in this January, I really don’t see him admitting his errors, and I see our club on a rapid descent into the Championship if he doesn’t act robustly and with real intent.

He quite simply underestimates the feeling of disappointment and disillusionment of the support which underlines - to me - his complete disconnect with the club as a whole.

I often disagree with Tam McManus about Hibs - but he’s bang on - LJ and that dressing room are not a squad that’s got that inner drive to get out of this mess. There’s not one player I’d hang my hat on to, in adversity, have faith in galvanising the team to better results.

The blame lies fully with Ron Gordon and his abject decision making and his (in my opinion) contempt for the supporters of this club.

This window isn’t about anything long term for me. We need at least a couple of bodies in to get us away from a potential relegation battle and/or give us a chance to push up the league. They don’t need to be long term investments. Get the structure sorted in time for the summer but we need to act now on the playing front to stop the season slipping away. Not once we’re already knocked out the cup and closer to the bottom of the league.

Great post and about where I’m at.

The recent Derby is a microcosm of all that’s wrong at Hibs. A routine win for Hearts, whose team wanted it more (as usual) and was equipped with the right players recruited in the key positions to give them a decent platform to achieve it.

Meanwhile we seem to be all about the commercials while the team are toiling and there’s no tangible proof that our absent owner has the will any more to fix it.

I bet the Gordons don’t even begin to get how much a derby defeat means to the fans. Just another game to them in pursuit of our mythical “project Hibernian”.

It was routine for them. They were two up and game was done without breaking sweat. We played a wee bit in the second half when it was all too late.

Reminded me of the Aberdeen game up there when folk were saying we played well and it was never a 4-1.

Because you tried to explain away a 3-0 defeat on ‘what ifs’ - and that’s been the case in the last 6 derbies - they’re better than more clinical, better run, and all this ‘What if’ stuff reminds me of Alex Miller and the horrendous recurs he had.

That team last week, no matter how set up, yet again shat the bed - didn’t matter the chances they missed - they completely downed tools when the first goal went in. That’s the point - no player on that pitch grasped the nettle. Hanlon - been there before, probably thinks here we go again - Stevenson- see Hanlon - that’s my point.

Too many players who are defeatist anyway, or just don’t care enough to win.

Leaves fans thinking ‘What if’ !

I think it was pretty routine. Hearts would have been confident pre match that we’d gift them some chances and if they kept their shape and limited their own mistakes they would win.

They were happy for us to have plenty of the ball knowing we’d create very little. When did they make mistakes we have guys like Youan who never looked like capitalising

What an absolute embarrassing shambles we’ve become. We didn’t give Ross a bit of backing after getting third, sacked him just before a cup final after destroying Sevco in the semi, bring in a rookie manager, sack the recruitment people, made his son head of recruitment and sign pish after pish after pish.

It’s the continuing pish from Ron Gordon saying our recruitment has been good that really bugs me. The fans have backed the club brilliantly over the past few years and this is what we get.

Why on earth would you ask Pat Stanton or John Blackley watch videos of him 😂 what qualifies them in the present day to analyse potential signings other than they were cracking players for us 50 years ago?

It was a punt on a player from a region that produces cracking players from time to time. A loan deal with a break clause if it wasn’t working out. It wasn’t working out so we’ve terminated the loan. There’s a lot of ***** to throw the way of the recruitment team, I’m arguably one of the biggest critics of it but this signing goes down as an ‘oh well it never worked’ and we’ve got rid. Rather than him signing permanently for 3/4 years and being lumbered with him.

I don’t have a particular issue with that, but I think getting game time in our first team is pretty criminal for someone who seemed so far out of his depth it was actually a shame on him. Plenty bounce games and training to look at someone, and you’d probably be able to make up your mind quite easily from those, or you’d certainly hope people at the club would? He actually played in our first team, a few times as well!

Nothing wrong with trying to find gems here and there in different markets, but we seem to be finding none and worse still, appear to be giving those who are clearly not, or ever will be, actual first team game time. I don’t know if that’s a stubbornness to admit you’re wrong with a signing; a manager being forced to play players by those above or worse still a manager playing players to prove a point to those above that they are not fit for purpose. None of those scenarios are good tbh but it’s where we are.

“We brought Momodou to the Club after impressing for The Gambia’s U23s to see whether we could open an avenue into the African academies because they produce very good players.

It didnt work for the lad but I can see the rationale behind it. I remember reading something a few years ago about FC Metz and how they used to tap the African market for potential. Unsure if they still do but Im sure a few French clubs keep their eyes out and scan for players

[loanheadhibby]

Why on earth would you ask Pat Stanton or John Blackley watch videos of him 😂 what qualifies them in the present day to analyse potential signings other than they were cracking players for us 50 years ago?

It was a punt on a player from a region that produces cracking players from time to time. A loan deal with a break clause if it wasn’t working out. It wasn’t working out so we’ve terminated the loan. There’s a lot of ***** to throw the way of the recruitment team, I’m arguably one of the biggest critics of it but this signing goes down as an ‘oh well it never worked’ and we’ve got rid. Rather than him signing permanently for 3/4 years and being lumbered with him.

Another fairly ageist comment. Who would you rather judge a player? Pat Stanton or CL from the net! They’ve forgot more than you’ll ever know.

[Bridge hibs]

A bit ageist is it not? You saying Pat Stanton/John Blackley have nothing to offer the club?Ageist ? Away you go and have a few nights off ffs 🤣

This might sound daft but if there's one thing that sticks in my mind about Bojang is that he got himself into great positions, in his little game time every game he came on he had a great chance to score. Clearly raw but I'm gonna stick my neck out and say there was potential there and he's done more than the likes of McKirdy and Melkersen, which says it all really.

[JimBHibees]

Young Ukrainian Striker won’t make well game Might be back mid January but worst case scenario 7thfebuary or there about
That’s a blow as feel we need his option and his goals Leaves more pressure on Nissy up top
JHD nearer a return than Miller

Is that definite? Wonder why it would be that long if he is training now

Presumably they’ve forgotten more than you’ll ever know meaning your opinion means the square root of F all as well then aye?

[WestStandWillie]

Feel sorry for Bojang. Brought over to a club who are far greater than his level and he’s been emptied halfway through the contract.

Someone needs to be held accountable.

Wouldnae surprise me if he rocked up at a Championship side or a English National League side

That’s some take to have a go at the club. Feel sorry for him you kidding me on, he’s been given an opportunity to make a career and potentially life changing money if his trial was successful. Millions would bite your hand off at that opportunity so I’d defo not be feeling sorry for the guy.

It should never have got to that stage to be fair as laddie should not have been exposed to 1st team games.

Agreed, it shows the recruitment up in a bad light.

Bojang might end up in England but can’t see him playing at Championship level? Time will tell.

Indicative of our recruitment that we’ve signed a player of that standard though.

Held accountable for what exactly?
Giving him a chance?
It was a loan deal with a routine break clause which we activated as he wasn't for us.
It's hardly crime of the century.

Absolutely. As I said, pulling in that 1st team jersey should be the ultimate. Bojang was never good enough sadly. However someone in the recruitment team seen something in him.

I don't feel sorry for him. He's an extremely poor footballer who got to live out a fantasy at a big club in Scotland. Good on him I'd say. I agree who ever thought he'd be good enough needs to be accountable.

[loanheadhibby]

:faf::faf: Accountable how? Fired? Every signing is a gamble.

Of course they should be held accountable or do we just let these guys making mistake after mistake?

More importantly, whoever thought this guy could play should not be trusted to make another recommendation.

Everyone signing is a gamble indeed. But this signing was a complete nonsense.

Gordon Jnr should be chased out of the club. Can take his dithering idiot of an old man with him.

[J-C]

Who actually scouted this lad? Most fans could tell fairly earlier on that he was not up to the task. It really was a dreadful signing amongst a host of dreadful signings.

He was playing u21 in the Portuguese league2, so not that bad a standard I'd have thought. A cheap punt that didn't work out, nothing much lost here.

[greenginger]

Great idea, he could sell Easter Road and East Mains for housing development and get some of his money back.

Whilst I don't think our recruitment team done well, saying they should be held accountable over one signing not working is a bit hilarious. You realise Sir Alex signed Bebe, Djemba-Djemba, Ralph Milne etc as well.

We took a risk in Bojang, I hope whoever is looking at the African market for gems doesn't give up and isn't sacked for signing Bojang. We need a new recruitment system and we need more ready starters, but to ignore the African market when the likes of Mane etc have come from it in recent years just because our first attempt didn't work would-be insanity.

[matty_f]

How were we able to offer Porto a substantial wage rise then?

There's a simple answer to this one - we'd have no intention of honouring Porto's contract. We only wanted to extend him to realise his full value when he was sold.

We'd have basically been spending some of the money that we'd get from selling him.

That money isn't there if you're not confident of getting more in and removing the burden.

The Bojang transfer is honestly the transfer I feel least pissed off about. Cheap punt, didn’t work, rectified the situation early. It might have turned out to be genius in which case the club would deserve great credit. Did any of his missed chances cost us? Was it reasonable to give him a glimpse of 1st team football to see what he could do? Does he deserve some credit for having the pace and movement to actually get into position to have the chances he had?

The problem is how many “punts” we’ve taken and I’ve got much more of an issue with those who are on longer deals and higher wages without looking like making much more of a meaningful contribution that Bojang did. Jair, Henderson, Melkerson - these guys. I know, you’ll want me to be patient but there’s a lot of money being wasted on these guys for far too minimal a footballing return.

[Donegal Hibby]

Don't know why folk are getting worked up about the bojang situation , we took over a young player to have a look at him from another country to see if he was a talented player which wasn't breaking the bank and it didn't work out , Hibs haven't lost much and players got experience at a club in a different country which I hope stands him in good stead for the future ( good luck to the guy ). Don't see why this has to become another totally negative issue?

I'm not convinced. Two sides to every story. I have a feeling, had things not been so bad currently at the club, that that story would have been dismissed as the sour grapes of a player who failed to make the grade. As it is, given our current plight, it's taken at face value as another example of where the club has failed.

Ideally should have been in place before transfer window opened. They’ve had since end of August to get organised.

Lazy and incoherent scouting is killing the club just now. Any player who puts on a Hibs jersey should have earned the right based on a professional attitude and consistent performances at a decent level.

We have numerous players in the squad that have not gone through a rigid recruitment process.

These aimless punts are a waste of time and money and it's destabilised the club. Having a revolving door at East Mains is clearly not working.

It's 150% true that he was in ormiston and had to walk to training a lot of the time because the club refused to help, the rest I had heard about but didn't believe, now Bojang himself is saying it all.

Btw, im pretty sure he couldn't afford normal house stuff, like curtains etc and the club didn't help him out. He also was the only player in the area he was in, and let's just sag it wasn't a nice house at all.

[Ronniekirk]

I posted this on another thread - Players seem to get injured, we’re told he won’t be out long and then for weeks we are left second guessing before being told he won’t be back for months.

The communication is so poor - or maybe the physio is incapable of providing an accurate update on player availability?

We do seem to have had a bad run of players out fir longer periods In this case the player has had a set back But I do wonder if we are having to push players to return to quickly because of our current situation
We now need Nisbet Mcgennis and McGeady to stay injury free fir a sustained period

It is very bizarre. Scant on detail in terms of what these "strange taxes" were and his living arrangements. I've never lived in Gambia, it is possible they don't have deductions from pay in a similar vein that we have in terms of NI, tax, etc. To a foreign player not familiar with the UK system, these may well be "strange". Nothing in that facebook post convinces me it's true. We've had loads of players from loads of countries and nothing similar has been said. Therefore, on balance, I'm not convinced.

If this is accurate and not one other player picked the lad up then it’s even worse (not overlooking anything else you’ve said). See if this is all true, I’m not sure where it is going to leave me in terms of how I feel or how I will react. Surely as a stakeholder we can’t accept this treatment of our people?

Does Hibs actually give out luxury apartments and cars ? Also use to hear players giving one another lifts to training and am surprised to hear he had to walk , don't know what kind of strange taxes we were adding to him as well? And complaining about a wee flat the size of a prison cell he should really have complained about a lot earlier rather when he's been let go maybe the guy has been badly treated which would be disgraceful though it could also be a case of sour grapes in all . Not going to pass judgement on it tell I hear more on the matter!

[Dobosz83]

So, during a period of mass crisis at the club were the majority would agree there must be good recruitment to salvage a disgrace of a season, we have a player we’ve sent back to another continent describing a truly honking “trial” period were he felt completely mistreated. Despite this, there are folk on here saying “oh well, to hell with him, it never worked out”… Hibs class?

These comments are an embarrassment to the club, from recruitment, to the “coach” who never wanted him, his words. It’s the definition of unprofessional and couldn’t have come at a worse time. He’s plastered it all over his social media channels before pulling it down.

Sometimes, you need to look inward… what the hell is this club now?

[Hibees1973]

Reckon Ron's son can log off You Tube and Wyscout if any of Bojang's allegations are true.

Unlikely any player will want to come to Hibs if any of this is going on.

Hibs own multiple flats around Edinburgh and do give them to players. We have also helped out current first team players with cars.

And to say he should have spoke out sooner is mental, the lad isn't going to stand there and slate the club hes currently at, it's logical he waits until hes left to say.

Hugely concerning. Sad times for Hibernian. Also fairly clear that the manager is getting players imposed on him. Pretty certain McKirdy is another one from the way he is treated.

Noticed Everton fans had a large sack the board sign tonight. A club with a similar recent history to us. Time for us to do likewise.

We don't give every player cars, nobody has said that. But we do, and have done plenty in the past helped players get cars and give them a flat whilst they're here. I know of at least one current first team player that Hibs got a car for whilst he's here to help him settle. It's not a case of the club gifting players a car, more they give them a car whilst they get on their feet/if it's a short term move.

If you mean Bojangs comment, I assume he meant it more figuratively speaking, hes seen other first team players get help with a nice flat and a car, whilst hes been left on his own. He didn't literally mean the club bought flats and cars for everyone besides him.

It's 150% true that he was in ormiston and had to walk to training a lot of the time because the club refused to help, the rest I had heard about but didn't believe, now Bojang himself is saying it all.

Btw, im pretty sure he couldn't afford normal house stuff, like curtains etc and the club didn't help him out. He also was the only player in the area he was in, and let's just sag it wasn't a nice house at all.

He couldn’t afford curtains?? How much were we paying him?

[H18 SFR]

He couldn’t afford curtains?? How much were we paying him?

I’ve just watched the video of his apartment. It’s very basic, really basic but it looks clean and very fit for purpose. There are blinds and very basic furnishings.

[cameronw-hfc]

He couldn’t afford curtains?? How much were we paying him?

Idk the details, I just got told he couldn't afford basic stuff for his house, and we would probably have only been paying his wage from the club he was on loan from. Given that probably wasn't much money you'd expect the club would sort him out with everything he needed, as they do with everyone else.

[Donegal Hibby]

Hibs own multiple flats around Edinburgh and do give them to players. We have also helped out current first team players with cars.

And to say he should have spoke out sooner is mental, the lad isn't going to stand there and slate the club hes currently at, it's logical he waits until hes left to say.
Did some of our senior players not speak up around the time of the kamberi , Lennon spat ? Maybe it is mental though we have a lot of people at the club I'd say are decent people Gray , McGregor , Hanlon , Stevenson and Marshall and would have thought he might have spoke to them , personally I wouldn't care what job I was in if I was living in a s**t place I'd at least bring it to the attention of someone senior or I respected and got on with. If the club didn't let him go would he just carry on and then complain at the end of the year if we let him go ? . As I said he might have been badly treated but I'm not going to rush in with a opinion one way or another like some with the board must go thread till I know all the facts ! .

A lot of what you say is speculative. Everybody has their own definition of ‘basic stuff’ and his place seems well beyond that.

Again, I posted on another thread saying im not local to that side of edinburgh, and when I googled ormiston to tranent it said 50 something minutes. I wasn't aware east mains was outside tranent closer to Ormiston. Again, I made a mistake on the walking to training being an issue, I apologise.

No idea. Not sure what the smart arse comment was for as I was only responding to your question.

Delfierre will be being paid a shed load more than bojang so he has probably leased the car himself.

That's exactly what I did, I just got it wrong. Maybe read my posts admitting my mistake before commenting 👍. We all make mistakes, seems a few are honing in on one part of my post where I've openly admitted to making a mistake, I'll be more careful next time, but it's an easy mistake to make.

I live in west Lothian, I hear hes been moved to ormiston and I know HTC is down tranent way so I googled tranent to ormiston. Didn't realise at the time HTC was outside tranent on the ormiston side, but again, I live in West Lothian so I wouldn't. It's a basic mistake and my points still stand, it doesn't look good for the club what so ever and I got told plenty of this before it all came out, I just didn't fully believe it until I seen it from Bojang himself.

HTC is not outside Tranent on the Ormiston side.

HTC is just outside Ormiston on the Tranent side.

I reckon it could not have been more than a 10 minute walk to the training ground.

Alright, as I said, im not from there so wouldn't know, was a Google that gave me the 50 mins/hour then I realised I didnt do it properly. I'm not being funny, but does it really matter?

Absolutely mortified at this. He put it on his IG story as well and deleted it, so obviously true. I'd heard rumblings but holy sh**. We are a downright disgrace of a club.

I'd heard this, but it was one of those "aye no way we would treat him that bad". I've stuck up for the Gordons but they can do one. ****bags of the highest order that deserve to be absolutely nowhere near our club.

You Sir, are absolutely itching for this to be true. Itching.

[Brooster]

If I told you, you wouldn't believe me. He lived above the co-op in Ormiston which is roughly a 10 minute walk from East Mains - nothing too taxing for a professional athlete who can't drive. Bojang has been a disaster on and off the field since the minute he arrived.

[WhileTheChief..]

So, during a period of mass crisis at the club were the majority would agree there must be good recruitment to salvage a disgrace of a season, we have a player we’ve sent back to another continent describing a truly honking “trial” period were he felt completely mistreated. Despite this, there are folk on here saying “oh well, to hell with him, it never worked out”… Hibs class?

These comments are an embarrassment to the club, from recruitment, to the “coach” who never wanted him, his words. It’s the definition of unprofessional and couldn’t have come at a worse time. He’s plastered it all over his social media channels before pulling it down.

Sometimes, you need to look inward… what the hell is this club now?

When Chris Mueller signed last year he posted stuff online showing his luxury 3 bed apartment, just off, or on George St.

He raved about how well he was treated and how people at the club did everything to help him and his girlfriend settle in.

He couldn't have spoken more highly about his new gaff or the people at Hibs.

Quoted the wrong post, sorry.

[blackpoolhibs]

A bit ageist is it not? You saying Pat Stanton/John Blackley have nothing to offer the club?

To be fair, they were hardly Pep or Klopp when they were in charge of Hibs as managers.

We don't give every player cars, nobody has said that. But we do, and have done plenty in the past helped players get cars and give them a flat whilst they're here. I know of at least one current first team player that Hibs got a car for whilst he's here to help him settle. It's not a case of the club gifting players a car, more they give them a car whilst they get on their feet/if it's a short term move.

If you mean Bojangs comment, I assume he meant it more figuratively speaking, hes seen other first team players get help with a nice flat and a car, whilst hes been left on his own. He didn't literally mean the club bought flats and cars for everyone besides him.

How do you know what he literally means?

[cappoquinboy]

Hibs own multiple flats around Edinburgh and do give them to players. We have also helped out current first team players with cars.

And to say he should have spoke out sooner is mental, the lad isn't going to stand there and slate the club hes currently at, it's logical he waits until hes left to say.

You don't "help out" employees with cars. Yes you can arrange them via a leasing company or the club can buy them outright but the employee still has to pay Benefit in Kind on their P11D. It's not some kind of fantastic freebie that Bojang has missed out on.

This is simply not true, the club do currently not own any residential properties

They either own or have relationships with the tenants / housing companies as they put players up in houses all the time, and have done so for year's.

We’re no a top club. We’re an unprofitable, £10m business. No the type that has loads of property all over the place. Would be interested to see the quotes from Mueller. Did the club provide the accommodation or simply help him find it (given his reputed wage).

Mueller was in a new town flat just off Dundas Street.

It was rented and think his missus helped decide location. No idea if Hibs give a budget for it or ?

I know some players were renting down Newhaven way also.

Hibs get favours though. My old boss used to let players have his flat in the new town. The place is worth a lot. Gary Caldwell stayed there. I've moved companies now though so I'm not sure if its the same now.

I think there was a place in East Lothian managers got to stay in as well?

So Bradley has played a game and a half for Livingston, 4 points and an assist. When was the last time we brought someone in who made an instant impact? Kamberi on loan? Think he scored the same day he signed.

Bradley probably wasn’t the answer. However it does seem an example of a club like Livingston, signing a player early. Having a clear idea where they will play, what role they will fulfil and them hitting the ground running. We seem to take an age to sign players and when we do it feels like we’re just signing good individuals with no real thought as to what their role will be or how they compliment what’s already there.

And then we do sign someone we’ll be told to be patient for the duration of their 4 month loan.

The bit about having a plan, I think, particularly applies to last summer. Loads of signings but absolutely no thought as to where they were all going to fit in. I’d settle for two players coming in this window if they are proper first picks, centre half and centre midfield.

An argument could be made that Boyle was a bit disappointing prior to his injury, but he's already got some important goals and we look a poorer side without him. I'd say he made a pretty immediate impact.

I get your point though and agree with it - that we make an awful lot of signings who either don't make an impact or who take an awful long time to start doing so.

Hibs get favours though. My old boss used to let players have his flat in the new town. The place is worth a lot. Gary Caldwell stayed there. I've moved companies now though so I'm not sure if its the same now.

I think there was a place in East Lothian managers got to stay in as well?


Yeh that last part is correct. Neil Lennon used to stay up near carberry tower.

So Bradley has played a game and a half for Livingston, 4 points and an assist. When was the last time we brought someone in who made an instant impact? Kamberi on loan? Think he scored the same day he signed.

Bradley probably wasn’t the answer. However it does seem an example of a club like Livingston, signing a player early. Having a clear idea where they will play, what role they will fulfil and them hitting the ground running. We seem to take an age to sign players and when we do it feels like we’re just signing good individuals with no real thought as to what their role will be or how they compliment what’s already there.

Letting that lad go is going to bite us. It’s so ****ing predictable.

Some guy scored on his debut Vs hearts this season

Plenty have made an impact quickly since Kamberi.

Manager and recruitment team know we’ve been pish for over 6 weeks not including World Cup and we continue to sit with our finger up our arse

If you can tell us how many have come back and bit us maybe we can agree 're the predictability.

Aye cause soooo many before him have done right enough 🙈

In what way? I haven't seen anything from him to suggest that will be the case. Just cos he got an assist for Livi today. Wow.

Mueller was in a new town flat just off Dundas Street.

It was rented and think his missus helped decide location. No idea if Hibs give a budget for it or ?

I know some players were renting down Newhaven way also.

I believe it was in Royal Circus and through D J Alexander.

Ewan Henderson apparently running his mouth behind the scenes I’ve heard from a few folk he’s had a massive falling out with Lj as he thinks he’s too good to be sitting on the bench, if true then you’ve just got to laugh he’s done absolutely nothing to justify being in the starting 11 needs moved on imo clearly not good enough

Another one who looks like he needs a good feed to beef him up. So many lightweights in that team that can’t take a slap in the SPL it’s frightening.

Does he want to live in a newly available flat in Ormiston?

Send him to the HTC Gulag!

Another one that should be leaving.

He'll go down as one of the worst signings we've made IMO - Absolute waste of a wage.

Good.

If Henderson thinks he's that talented then there are two possible outcomes.

Firstly he shows it and we have a good player.

Secondly he doesn't, so he demands a move and we get him off the wage bill.

Yeah been so poor in all honesty. Me and my pals all thought the signing was strange at the time as wasn't playing well for Ross County.

Looks like a lost wee laddie on the pitch. Probably best for both parties if he leaves. Terrible signing.

Was he a Maloney signing?

Certainly a frustrating player definitely has talent however doesn't show it enough. Still think he is a reasonable sub option. Played very well in the Derby semi final.

Yeah

[CraigHibee]

Wouldn't loose any sleep if Henderson went, not exactly set the Heather alight
