[Ryan91]

That is really worrying imo.

I don’t want to sound negative but we can’t get carried away with the Aberdeen result.

We still need quality in this window in a couple of areas

Perhaps the level of quality that the club is looking for is either not available or is outwith the club's budget?

Would you rather that the club signed someone simply for the sake of it and use up resources that might be better used for the next transfer window or to perhaps get a player to extend their contract?

There is a balancing act, and clearly the club and the manager feel that there is better value in promoting youth players vs the options currently available on the transfer market.

[greenlex]

Don't need to sign someone on a 4 year deal but just add that extra experience on loan with a higher wage even. Can't just put the season on hold for a DOF that we haven't yet got in the door.
Older players with experience aren’t signing for 14 games. They’ll want long term deals. It’s not that easy in January. I’m surprised we got Jeggo to be honest. If they are out there we’ll be interested. The season is anything but on hold but again we are not skint. The mantra seems to be Quality over quantity. The balance between inexperienced gamble versus experienced quality is being addressed and not before time. There’s room for both but there needs to be a balance.

[Northernhibee]

I’m oddly OK with an experienced CB.

If we can get a bit more dead wood out of the team (Henderson, Tavares) I’d be quite happy to let the youngsters work their way into the team.

We have some very good young players and it’s as good a time as any being out of both cups and seemingly reasonably safe from relegation.

[Hibbyradge]

Kind of signing that just fills me with zero hope. Hardly any of these promising youngsters from England ever do well at us. Huge difference between youth football and senior level. Hopefully be a decent player though!

So, which is it? :greengrin

[Silky]

Looking for just a CH doesn't seem like enough for me.

But if it means more game time for the boys coming through the academy, then I can live with it.

I know what you mean. I don't know what is best. I love seeing academy boys come through and have seen the club slated in the past when hot prospects move to other clubs because we won't give them game time. But I also realise that we need to have some experienced heads in the side if we are to progress. I sometimes think If we don't play the kids, what is the point in investing in an academy if there is no pathway. Constantly signing "experienced" players blocks that pathway, so what's the point? I often wonder if we are blocking the way of a golden generation for a short termist fix of an olden generation and that someone else will reap what we've sown.

[brydekirk]

Really hope this isn't true. Still need a creative forward thinking midfielder

Josh Campbell

[One Day Soon]

“The Evening News understands there are no immediate plans to add in the other areas of the park with Johnson keen to use youth players to supplement his squad.“

Latest from the EEN. Experienced defender still wanted but that aside seems we are relying on youth.


Fourth place is absolutely up for grabs and even third is not gone given we are nine points behind Hearts who just dropped two points against Livi. So we have a very strong prospect of Europe next season if we get our act together. Hearts made a lot of money from their European jaunt this year.

If, in those circumstances, we do not strengthen further in this window then frankly really hard questions need to be asked. How Johnson can say what they suggest he is saying beggars belief. Firstly it completely contradicts what he told us at the start of the window and secondly it is laughable given the weakness of our squad.

I can only hope he is lying through his teeth in order to dampen the financial expectations of other clubs we may try to negotiate with in the remaining 31 hours of this window. If not and we end up signing no-one else then he and others at the club are taking the piss out of the support.

[Heisenberg]

It’s definitely a bold move from Maloney. Henderson has failed to make his mark at every club he’s been at so a move to the English Championship is the logical next step for him.

[flash]

I think there's a player in Henderson potentially but I could be, and probably am, completely wrong.

Yeah , I'm with you easty still think he will come good yet 😂

[Hibbyradge]

I’ll judge him on his ability, age and experience is meaningless if the player in question is s***e. Hearts signed a 20 year old with no first team games played this season and he bossed it in the derby and Hearts are yet to concede a goal when he’s playing. Would they have been better with some late twenties journey man who can’t get off the bench for a League 1 side?

Exactly. I sometimes think if we signed Gavi or Jude Bellingham folk would be dismissive because they're teenagers.

CJ may or may not be a baller, but writing him off before he's even played because of his age is just daft

He’s 32 so still couple of years in him

Henderson would be a tremendous signing for Maloney, has all the qualities you’d want when scrapping it out at the bottom of the Championship😏

I think there is as well however no getting away his form has been disappointing recently. Good opportunity to stake a place at Motherwell but was very poor. Think he is the sort of player you need to give a run of games to however he does need to earn that chance.

I think Henderson will be an excellent signing for Wigan. He's such a creative player and just what they need in their fight against relegation. Still young, so has lots of potential to develop into a top class player.

I'll be devastated when he leaves.

If any Wigan fans are looking in, he's going to get you off your seats!

I honestly have never thought they were planning any significant signings in this window, Kensell’s DOF statement basically said that. I also think they are hoping to avoid relegation, limp into the top 6 and if we’re lucky get a European spot.

There is no “let’s get players in to push for Europe” thoughts going on at all. I think the season has been all but binned in terms of ambition and then maybe push on for next season.

If we are seriously thinking that then i worry, but it would sum us up as a club over last couple of years.

We currently occupy 5th place. If we’re not thinking europe ahead of the mighty Livingston, St Mirren and a p1sh Aberdeen (who we've beaten twice this season) we may as well just give up.

Our ambition is European places, its achieveable… na forget the extra revenue and let’s just consolidate and hope for the best

Yip I highly doubt they have binned this season already, its a poor league, a couple of wins and you are almost in a European spot so no danger they are thinking the season is gone already

My thoughts too mate. My response wasn’t a dig at poster but if club were thinking it’s about consolidating and see where it takes us, they have zero ambition and no clue. 4th is more than achievable.

I would be concerned if that’s us done on transfers-in, even if Nisbet is here come Wednesday. Which we will know tomorrow when line ups are announced.

Speaking about CJ Egan-Riley after his debut against the Portuguese side, at right-back, Guardiola said: “CJ Egan-Riley played really good and didn't miss one ball. He is a seven out of ten footballer; not exceptional in anything but that is a good sign as a defender as he doesn't make any mistakes."

I hear what you’re saying. I don’t think they need to be really ambitious signings or players we have to pay over the odds for. But, a couple of decent solid players to improve the core group could go a long way, as the league is pretty poor.

The club need to do what Lee does every moment of every day…. Look up.

[Real Emerald]

Maybe they do. I think a lot of Hibs fans were thinking we were going to address our problems by getting in much needed quality in this window, I don’t think the hierarchy of the club ever had that plan. They will go with what we have and hope or think it’s enough for Europe whichever way you want to put it. I would have liked them to actually push for it but for whatever their reasons I don’t see that happening by making the signings fans were expecting.

Obviously hope we do push on and get a couple in tomorrow. 🤞

Still a bit to go but a step in the right direction

Henderson
Doyle-Hayes
Tavares

Should all be punted in my opinion with close monitoring to Magennis as his injuries are ridiculous now.

2-3 half decent signings before the window closes and we might just make a fist for fourth in one of the poorest standard seasons of top flight Scottish football yet.

After the Aberdeen game LJ said 'at least a couple in' with the mantra since Tynecastle being 'ready to go in the first team, quality players'. Start of the window they did say depends on getting some out and they certainly managed that plus Porteous being sold and Bushiri injury. I expect we'll sign a couple with experienced centre back a must

Yep, that’s my take on it too. I think there was much bigger expectations from some fans though. Hopefully we can land a decent midfielder and a couple more defenders before the window closes and who knows.

One of life’s great mysteries this. He once had a decent 3 weeks in his career back in August 2016 which encouraged Leipzig to spend £13m on him. He was pish out there and then Tony Pulis then at West Brom inexplicably spent the same on him.

The only thing that I think people see is that a club once paid millions of pounds for him so there must be something there. There absolutely isn’t. He averages 2 to 3 goal involvements as season.

He changes club every single year and continues to be awful. Someone will likely think they can salvage something him next window as well.

[SMAXXA]

I think I actually admire the club for their approach this window it would be so easy to empty out the dross we don’t want Port different of course and bring in multiple other players. The whole idea was to refuse the quantity and have a stronger smaller squad. That’s all somewhat driven by the right quality being available which maybe hasn’t been the case, if we had signed say the 2 projects Hearts have in the Aussie and the Japanese lad and they didn’t hit the ground running the club wound be hammered for not learning and doing the same again. Sometimes better working with what you have and promoting youth than adding players for the sake of it. Realistically which team outside maybe the old firm have actually added real quality this window that’s made you stand up and say that’s great business. There are undoubtedly areas of the team to improve but I’d rather wait till the summer than take more punts on more this month.

Forget the set price he is scoring in most of his games just The price will go up in the summer So unless it’s mental money reject reject reject
Plus his agents said he wants to concentrate on hibs st oresent sonthat tells me he knows where he is going in the summer if he keeps his firm going

[Donegal Hibby]

If we can get another defender/right back in that would make sense. He looked totally unfit when he came on on Saturday. Game time in a lower league would be ideal
Just back from a lengthy injury though isn't he ?

[04Sauzee]

St Mirren fans reckon Wigan are in for Baccus, that would be a big loss for them with Erhahon looking likely to sign for Lincoln.

[Hibeewilly]

Just back from a lengthy injury though isn't he ?
Exactly so he needs to go out on loan for game time as he wont get it here.....

[LunasBoots]

We'll probably only know by the time the squads announced tomorrow whether he's away, br hard if decent last minute bids start flowing

Local journalist in Wigan claiming bid for Nisbet isn't true and it's an agent causing mischief.

One for the oldies here (like myself) but I hope that CJ shines big time for us and goes on to have a glittering career and will one day say “ I didn’t get where I am today without playing for Hibernian FC” 🤭

[Donegal Hibby]

Don't know why you think he wouldn't get game time at us , for me he's our only natural right back, I've quite liked him any time I've watched him , imo give him game time and we have a good player on our hands.

Fair play to hibs so far

They have got rid of some dead wood which I had been calling for months as well as many others

Still a bit to go but a step in the right direction

Henderson
Doyle-Hayes
Tavares

Should all be punted in my opinion with close monitoring to Magennis as his injuries are ridiculous now.

2-3 half decent signings before the window closes and we might just make a fist for fourth in one of the poorest standard seasons of top flight Scottish football yet.

Over to you hibs

I would keep JDH but be delighted to see Hendo go on a permanent and Jair on a loan

[jacomo]

One of life’s great mysteries this. He once had a decent 3 weeks in his career back in August 2016 which encouraged Leipzig to spend £13m on him. He was pish out there and then Tony Pulis then at West Brom inexplicably spent the same on him.

The only thing that I think people see is that a club once paid millions of pounds for him so there must be something there. There absolutely isn’t. He averages 2 to 3 goal involvements as season.

He changes club every single year and continues to be awful. Someone will likely think they can salvage something him next window as well.


He was a teenager when he moved to Germany. They were buying potential. Clearly, they were wrong because he hasn’t improved.

As for Pulis… gonna measure my words carefully here, but some managers have aroused suspicions about their motivations for certain transfers.

[04Sauzee]

Wonder why McGrath can't get a gig for Utd? Injured? Doesn't fit the system or just not good enough? Wonder if there is any truth in Henderson to Wigan he would be part of the deal, cash plus him on loan to the end of the season?

Assuming we are looking for some cash.

[Winston Ingram]

Nisbet waiting for bigger and better things imo

I think it’s fairly certain Maloney would have picked up the phone to Nisbet to ask if he was interested before they put a bid in.

Like the sound of this. Remember watching Sunderland documentary on Netflix and he came across as a really nice guy. Also Wales took him to WC literally because he's a good lad around the dressing room. We need some characters around the place

Decent option too

[Souter96Mac]

Think he's had injury issues, but that aside, he would fit the bill imo. A type of attacking/creative player we need in the midfield.

[Unseen work]

Always rated Williams as a player. Very good on the ball, had some injury issues for a while which is the only reason I can imagine that he’s at Swindon.

Found a home there when fit and loved it?

Would be happy if we can get him.

Henderson - Clearly has ability but can’t seem to do anything with it the majority of games and looks to have no confidence. Would sell him to Wigan despite the fact I think he has a lot of potential to kick on somewhere else.

Campbell - Said it loads he’s one of our best players this season, think it would cost Wigan a lot to get him.

He was absolutely one of the worst managers I've seen at ER, and I've following Hibs since 1970 so seen plenty come and go, now he's determined to finish what he started, ruin Hibs just as things appear to be improving, a little.

[NAE NOOKIE]

So far as Nisbet going to Wigan. I've been to their stadium and their home crowd was near enough outnumbered by a 3000 strong Nottingham Forest support. Not a bad stadium, but if Nizzy was prepared to knock back Millwall why the **** would he go to Wigan instead? They are skint, in the drivers seat for relegation and the glory days are well behind them with little prospect of them ever returning ... not even a good option as a stepping stone IMO, he would be far better placed holding on here until the summer and see if the rumour of interest from Real Madrid I'm about to start comes to anything :greengrin

As for interest in Campbell. The guy has improved a good bit since the season started and has a goal in him, he could turn into a big player for us if he continues to progress, if Maloney want's him then we should ask for £3,000,000

The lad Williams from Swindon could be a decent shout, lots of experience and if his mention of 'location' being important referred to geography rather than league there are few, if any, cities better than Edinburgh. If McKirdy is good mates with him that could help both of them.

[HendoDelivered]

You would think after managing the club for 6 months Maloney would at least have an inkling that we haven't been suckers bending over for carpet baggers from darn saff for some years now .... we got around half a million quid for Porto and he had less than 6 months left on his contract. Nisbet has 10 full Scotland caps and 8 goals in 8 games this season for Hibs ....... If they genuinely did offer half the Millwall fee Hibs should publicly call them out for the chancers they obviously are.

I like him but every player has his price and if we get a decent fee to upgrade of course we'll take it. Its not like the midfield collectively hasnt been a problem this season.

[weecounty hibby]

If Hibs have any sense then Wigan can't afford Campbell. The last time we had a young, dynamic, hard working, goal scoring midfielder who came through the ranks and is improving all the time we got 4.4m for him. If he goes it's about time that our transfer record was broken. I am in no way saying he is better than Brown but you get the gist.

Sounds like we've looked elsewhere with no success and Findlay the back up option. Could be a good addition though even though not blazed a trail since Killie. Clarke got a consistent tune out of him

Think Findlay is a left side centre half and Wright is right sided and able tk play right back. I’m not sure it’s one or the other and suspect Findlay seen more as the long term replacement for Hanlon.

I'd be okay with settling for both plus Williams, Arfield and Turnbull..

Remember we have a game tonight !!

Wonder how this is affecting any players who are meant to be playing. Understand they stayed in the highlands last night.

Maybe a good thing players are far north and the thought of travelling down south even further may put them off.

Not how I remember it. Nisbet started to look really poor and IIRC Maloney had him dropping deeper and deeper. Campbell had the support increasingly on his back after looking completely out of sorts.

This is my memory also Nisbet was basically playing centre mid as we watched hundreds of cross balls fly into nobody in the box, I would say cadden seemed to improve under maloney possibly pushed further up than he has been this season but Campbell and Nisbet for me didn’t look great at all

Post of the day and it’s only just after 8.

A goal scoring midfielder who's been banging them in in September and still doing so in January, scores all sorts of goals and who can also make last ditch tackles?

I think you're underestimating the market, and I hope the club dont make your mistake.

Or you could argue he scored a few in September then didn’t score again for 17 games until January. I think he needs to be doing it consistently before we are talking about selling him for millions.

I’m not trying to criticise Campbell here but the result at the weekend hasn’t half elevated the abilities of everyone. I don’t think anyone will be offering millions for him just yet.

[Slim Shady]

He's going nowhere at the moment, but if the boy keeps up this kind of form the vultures will be out in the summer.

A bid from a Leageu One club was already rejected this season.

Pretty much where I am.

If someone offers serious money for him I’d let him go if we could get someone else lined up. Whilst he’s had his moments they’ve been over a 6 month period and I don’t think he’s performed like a multi million pound player generally speaking. He’s been much improved since last season but if you asked someone on Friday if they’d take millions for Campbell then I think near enough everyone would say yes, I don’t think one hatrick against the most woeful of Aberdeen sides should change that too much.

If we can extract £1.5m or so from someone for him I’d take it.

Would Johnny Evans be seen as a replacement for Campbell?

Leicester signing a guy from Syracuse University in the USA. Imagine the sneering if that was us…

Obviously the guy might turn out to be awful, but it imho it shows that there’s a market for players there if you know what you’re looking for.

It wasn't just the goals, it was his overall play which has been superb in an underachieving side. He's a young man going places we would be foolish to let him leave unless it's for BIG money.

Totally fair post that. On the back of the result on Saturday, every player is great, Johnson is the man, we are going to challenge for 3rd.….I think some folk are getting a wee bit carried away.

I don’t want us to sell Campbell, I think he’s only going to get better if we continue to play him in his proper position. Interestingly the terrible coach we should be getting rid of (or so I’ve read on here) SDG has been singing the praises of Josh Campbell for a long time, telling people he has all the attributes to be a top player, while working closely on his development.

Don't see the point in selling Campbell now for no reason as he continues to develop. He's one that's actually one of our own, falling into the sort of category of young player with potential that we have scattered our transfer budget all over on players not good enough. And he understands the club, the league, what its all about etc. So he shows a bit of something and straight away want rid?

The evidence of ourselves and other clubs at our level being able to replace talent sold over the years isn't great. Just because you get the money in the bank doesn't mean better players are coming in.

Doig left and we still have Lewy at LB.

Aye, that is where I am. Keep him and let him develop for at least another year. He's still got a bit to go on his contract as well, so if he does continue to develop then we've still the option to sell

[MrRobot]

Findlay, Wright and Williams would be a very positive end to the window. Can’t see it though.
