I think Will Fish gets an incredibly hard time from Hibs fans. Yes he made a horrific mistake against Hearts but I honestly think people think he's about 28 years old.
I bet any 19 year old coming through the Hibs youth set up would get a much easier time.
He's looked ok on the few other occasions he's played.Agree totally . I missed the first 10 minutes of Derby at Tynecastle so didn`t know about mistake before first goal . Thought Fish had a good game and I was only disappointed he didn`t score from header in first half . Later I saw first goal on telly and it was obviously a terrible mistake but hope he`s staying with us for the rest of the season .

If the 37 squad number is filled by Saturday, I’ll feel a tiny bit better about things.
Although we’d still need a striker to pass the ball to and a centre back to clear the lines…

I hope any signings we make are loan deals . Preferably with an option to buy . Loan players are far more likely to be better than what we`ve got now . Give us time to make longer term signings in summer .
Id rather see us spend some serious cash on 2 quality players first ( goalscorer & defender) and then maybe do a couple of loan deals as you said.

Why would folk be so surprised if he ended up at us? He's 34 and out of contract in the summer, probably settled being home in Scotland. Can't see Hearts or Aberdeen trying for him, maybe Aberdeen?
Think he'd be a great signing for us.

Always like McLaren, his goalscoring record since he left us is fantastic, way out our budget now sadly so can forget that one.

He would absolutely improve the team. I don’t have inside knowledge but going by the rumours of players wanting out, players who have left taking shots at the club it’s not a good place. Do we really think someone who is playing well for rangers when he gets a chance is going to want to join us when we’ve just sold our only centre forward and are out of the cups? Just my opinion. Would be delighted if it happened but he would have far better options than us if he became available.

Because he's returned to Scotland after years in England, has settled here, he's not getting a regular start at Sevco, is out of contract in the summer and we're the best option available to him if he wants to stay up here and play?

Aberdeen and Hearts could offer him more money and hearts obviously still in the cup/likely to get europe again. I can’t believe that neither of them wouldn’t want him. He used to play for Livi I’m sure, they are no worse than we are so would think he’d prefer a move to them given the history. We aren’t even in the top 2/3 teams to get him.

They both could but the way things are I’m not sure Arfield would get into Hearts team and at his age he’ll want more game time. Aberdeen have spent a fortune do not sure their chairman will allow it.
As for Livi, they’ve a shortfall of £200k and would be surprised if he went there.

Aye because Livi will offer him the same money as us right enough 👍🏼 and it was actually Falkirk he was at, so I’m sure he’ll end up back there by your logic right ?

Are Falkirk not worse than us? Seeing as one of the main points for him going ‘back’ to Livi was that they’re no worse than us I’m not sure how you’ve managed to make that leap.

They aren't offering anything though. And Aberdeen are a shambles and with a good chance their manager isn't going to be there next week.
As for Livi, give yersel a shake. What a ludicrous shout that is. He'd be lucky to get £800 a week there. Sevco will likely to subsidising his wages for the first 6 months of any loan deal and if he goes there, they'd be paying nearly all of them. Add to that, he'd be playing on a pish astro pitch in front of 2 men and a dog every 2nd week.

I’m quite pleased to hear this tbh and I think it’s one of our biggest failings in recent years.
We should normally have 2 or 3 transfers lined up well in advance, coupled with players at the club that should mean we know the majority of our squad for the season ahead.
Business will still need to be done over the summer then tweaks made in January but I do think that the work for the following season should be being done now.
Obviously none of this addressing our current, fairly urgent need to get more bodies in, but it doesn’t mean it isn’t good news of sorts.

Sounds like Bailey Wright could be an option after all although won’t be easy to get him.
Out the team but good praise from Mowbray, think he would be a very good signing. Maybe we could go for Graham Arnold to manage all our Aussies next season too

That's the crux.
The club are trying to make it happen, but it might not come to pass for obvious financial reasons.
Fair play to the club for trying though on this occasion.
Not how I see it. We've established quite the track record for trying in various regards on the footballing side in recent years. We need decent signings in and if we don't get them then all the good intent, good process or good spin is worth nothing. The people in charge have a very long road of redemption to travel as far as I'm concerned.

So we should only try for safe targets that we know we will get? It's worth nothing in the end, but at least we are going after quality instead of what we did in the summer.

That's not at all what I'm saying. We should be signing the quality that everyone knows our team is desperately short of.
IDGAF about the 'going after' part of the equation, the only thing that matters is who they actually sign and deliver. To put it another way, it's ****ing easy to make an enquiry about virtually anyone but unless they complete the deal that player isn't going to be playing for us. Less talk, more delivery.

I've never put money on a bet against Hibs before, but I'm sorely tempted. I really doubt that any any side in the league is looking at our possible lineups and being worried about playing us. Aberdeen literally couldn't handpicked a better opposition to overcome their Darvel debacle. I suspect we might help Goodwin in a job inadvertantly

Started the season as the first choice and has lost his place and hasn't kicked a ball since boxing day. The fact he's on a 4 year deal would suggest it's be a loan.

I am surprised that Bailey Wright has been mentioned, Sunderland at pretty short on CBs at the moment and their typical 'fill in' in that position (Evans) was ruled out for the season yesterday with a cruciate injury. I think that leaves them with 4 CBs including Wright but excluding their U23s. If they don't sign another one I can't see him getting to leave. He signed a 2 year extension to he contract last window too so has 18 months left

Reading the comments doesn’t exactly scream quality over quantity.
If we sign him, I’ve got my doubts but I hope he comes in and does brilliantly. My gripe over the transfer of him is more about why we’re negotiating now?! The sale of Porteous isn’t exactly coming out the blue and there’s only a few days of the transfer window left. We also knew Rocky was inured from last week.

The worst thing about this is it looks like a sale rather than a loan. They paid £300k in the summer for him. So it looks like we're paying a fee and giving a 3-and-a-half-year deal to a boy who has been dug-***** for nearly 3 years and can't cut it*in*league*1.

From Sky Sports Transfer Centre
Hibs striker Nisbet headed to Millwall to complete £2.3m move
Hibernian striker Kevin Nisbet is en route to Millwall before completing his move to the Championship side.
Millwall have had a bid of £2.3m including add-ons accepted for the Scotland international.
Nisbet looks set to be followed through the Easter Road exit door by Ryan Porteous after Watford had a bid of up to £500,000 accepted.
Porteous is out of contract in the summer and had already said he would be leaving the club.

Looks a reliable account to be honest.
I suspect he will be moving somewhere else instead though. He’s no turned them down to stay at Hibs, that’s for sure.

I got sent it by a mate who lives down there, says he's usually bang on regarding transfers.
I agree though, just hope it's not one of Celtic/Rangers.

I’m pretty sure it wouldn’t have got this far without Nisbet giving them some indication he’d want to move there. Wouldn’t surprise me if they’ve been used to bump up a better offer elsewhere. I hope Hibs are disadvantaged by this🤔

Stuart Findlay was looked at as an option but we thought we would get better so weren't interested. Then we had to go back after losing Rocky and not progressing with the alternatives.
We want a loan until the end of the season because Johnson will likely be removed by then and they want the new man to have as much scope as possible to pick his own men for next season. Oxford want permanent and to salvage some of their outlay. They want £250,000.
All the above made up whilst bored at work

Johnson saying that the money doesn’t necessarily go into replacements directly, but could also be used on equipment and in the academy. Not that he’s ruling out direct replacements and I know this practice is quite standard, it’s just not the wisest thing to say in this context IMO.

He was really poor in his last season at Killie. Went off to play for Philidelphia Union and couldn't get a game. Signed for Oxford on a 4 year deal in the summer. Started the season as the first choice and has lost his place and hasn't kicked a ball since boxing day. The fact he's on a 4 year deal would suggest it's be a loan.
Anyway. The Oxford fans seem to think he's coming here

Nah, Nisbet wouldn’t have turned Millwall down unless he was given assurances that the other club would get the deal done. Too big a gamble for him to turn down £10K+ a week in the hope the buying club can shaft us for a few hundred grand off the sale price.

If the news is true, I fear that it may be one of Celtic/Rangers he's accepted. Can't imagine he'd be wanting to stay now after this whole transfer situation.
Plus, I believe Millwall are just outside the Play-Offs in the championship, and they'd be offering a fair wage too. Wouldn't think there'd be many clubs in England better than that offering him a deal?

This is why particularly in this window its such a lottery. Imagine if we had gone out and invested heavily (for us) in a replacement - no incoming monies to fund the purchase and two proven players for the one position.
No wonder so many witches were burnt in Scotland!
It could be that he is being a bit sensible here, he is just back from a long term injury, playing really well, he's had a look [Millwall or South London/Kent isn't a place I'd want to live, although I've spent a vast majority of my life living in London] and the summer will bring in even more options for him, and keep this form up, better options.
I may be wrong, but everything doesn't have to be a conspiracy.

Hibs have set the mark with the £2m+ from Millwall. Anything less and I'd rather we kept him until the summer where we would still get £1m plus.
