Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[Iain G]

Are we sure we can't afford McKenna, he is a big unit of a center half!

[04Sauzee]

Stats look extremely average.

What are his stats out of interest?

[Unseen work]

50 appearances for Stoke by the age of 22 is surely good going? Then getting signed by Club Brugge

[Donegal Hibby]

Looks like he moved to club Brugge from Stoke City for a initial fee of 500K .

Don’t think Stoke fans were best pleased about it either

Edit - I take the above back. I searched what they thought about him on their fans forum

https://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/304339/bursik-good?page=17

The majority of comments refer to his low save % and inability to save shots

[at last 61]

I still think when we unveil the new strips that a new signing or two will be wearing them, just a hunch

We better not be signing Quasimodo!

[TrinityHFC]

Stats look extremely average.

The St Johnstone keeper who everyone is now going on about was decidedly average until this year. If we’d have signed him last year there wouldn’t have been much enthusiasm for it.

Not the best CV for a goalkeeper then? 😂

[Forza Fred]

Melbourne Victory announced yesterday two players had been signed by unnamed overseas clubs.

One, Da Silva, is a 36 year old centre half.

Coincidental that it is announced just a couple of days before Hibs players are due to report at East Mains.

We wouldn’t, would we?

[badabing67]

You don't have to go far on Hibs.Net to find a comedian

[Northernhibee]

The St Johnstone keeper who everyone is now going on about was decidedly average until this year. If we’d have signed him last year there wouldn’t have been much enthusiasm for it.

Fans of his previous clubs all seemed to really rate him though. That’s often a good sign.

Other than a couple of people defending him on the Stoke forum they thought he was poor and then he’s done his cruciates.


I’d be very concerned if he was our choice to bring in.

We wouldn’t, would we?

What a career he’s had.

Had a quick search and the victory fans seem devastated he’s leaving. Seen him described as classy, courageous and a leader

The above, along with the fact we’ve probably looked at the a-league a lot this past 12 months makes me think you’re 100% right and he will come in to play centre of a back 3 🤣

Welcome Damien.

Unless I’m missing something in what way would him being released be related to the day Hibs are back at east mains?

Right now the kit release has been done , backroom staff are in place. Let's get some players in/out 😁

Okay maybe we will announce a new signing in the new kit!

Well the kit is launched now so maybe we’ll announce some signings!

The better players are always available towards the end. I’m sure we’ve got people lined up.

“Hibernian FC are delighted to announce the signing of 17 year old Cent Trebach on a 3 year deal from Tranmere, welcome to Hibs, Cent!”

Oh well January to strengthen then.

Signings so far:

Aberdeen: 3
Hearts: 5
Hibs: 0

Days until first competitive game: 23

[GreenCastle]

Don’t panic - we have a game in 9 days..

23 days till season starts properly v Elgin.

Don’t rate the keeper mentioned above - just doesn’t make enough saves and quite erratic - hopefully we have other options.

I'm not to bothered about other clubs getting their signings in first as long as we recruit well when we make ours . Plenty of time to do that yet .👍

True , though we have a different structure now with MM being appointed . Hopefully we get it right this time .

So he could get to EM in time?

Would be good if the club could give us some signs things will be different with review #3. It’s like the Petrie days again and the club seemingly reluctant to engage with the support at all.

[GreenCastle]

Pre-season begins tomorrow - surely some new players will be in the door from day 1 to give the squad some fresh energy.

Maybe the club were taken by surprise Hanlon, Fish and Marshall have left and they weren’t aware we were needing a couple of CH’s and GK. These things need about 4 years of planning. 😁

[flash]

I can't help but think that the vitriolic reaction to almost everything the club says recently has to be having an effect.

Would be amazed if Kit and Ian Gordon aren't a bit hurt and surprised by just how bad it gets.

Personally only want to hear from the club when they have something important to tell us.

With every respect the running of the club post COVID when we finished third has been nothing but a shambles. Big money being spent, experiment after experiment, manager after manager, and performances getting worse.


If they’re needing to hear some positivity then let the football people do their jobs and just be quiet in the background. Trust in them has long evaporated with a lot of the support.

While I agree - the way social media and emails are posted with new sponsor deals / sign up for this .. sign up for that..etc

All the fans want currently is to see some new players signed who will improve us.

ST deadlines / shirt sales etc will do better if fans are given some hope for the new season. Currently everyone is dreading the same (failed) players making up the majority of the team for the new season.

[GreenCastle]

Hearts seem to be signing a player playing for Costa Rica in the Copa America.

Will be surprised if we sign anyone playing in the Euros but happily to be proved wrong.

If they are surprised then they continue to be the problem. We’ve been on an ever decreasing downward spiral and confidence in those running the club is rock bottom.

Hibs seem determined to keep fans at arms length when they should be on a charm offensive. Look at how quickly we felt engaged again under Dempster after hitting rock bottom under Butcher and Petrie. Taking the time we did to find a manager for it to then be Gray. The time it took to find an assistant and then one of them turns out to be already at the club, same as Gray. Our technical director was already in the door. None of which are negatives in isolation, as part of the wider lack of confidence in those running the club it’s like we want to make things difficult for ourselves. Seemingly the technology to hear from Gray while he’s on holiday eludes Hibs. Mackay did an interview (I think) post Gray and Marshal being appointed, but I’ve not seen it as they chose to do it behind a paywall. It’s still not entirely clear how Marshall’s role fits into the structure. No new signings etc etc. Hibs appear blind to the need to mend bridges.

Tbf some of the players playing at the smaller nations are within our reach. No reason we can't be buying people who are playing domestically in Slovenia, Georgia and Albania and representing their nations. I liked the look of hoxha the Albania winger who's playing for Zagreb, in and out of their starting lineup. No reason we can't go after that level of player.

I think it’s going to be very difficult for MM and SDG to get the right players in every position before the season begins.

I think what we have ahead of us is what you call a transitional season or a total rebuild.

That’s going to take time and we must all be realistic. Top six must be our target to allow SDG the time required.

I love a transition season - patience - few windows to sort - the exact reason fans spend ££ on season tickets and follow the team home and away.

It’s exactly what every football fan wants to hear…

Not sure DG or MM will get 3 or 4 windows to sort this mess out.

This summer window should be enough to get us top 5 minimum if we actually recruit well / know what we are doing.

[Callum_62]

I think MM has already said 3-4 windows required?No one is gonna get 3 or 4 windows unless we are doing "ok"

Ok for us has to be scraping top 6

We had teams come the league below be fighting for top 6. No reason with our budget that adding 3 or 4 good signings allow that or more to happen

3 or 4 windows will be the more rounded squad with looking to the future etc goal id imagine

Biggest issue will be getting rid of the dross who are on a decent wage. They know they won’t get that sort of wage anywhere else so they maybe reluctant to move on. This will take time.

Of course recruiting the right players is the main point but I disagree on timing.

Having a proper pre season with your new team mates and coaching staff is very important. How often is it mentioned by new players that they need a proper pre season? Signing a bunch of players late in the window and throwing them together in the hope they gel isn't how successful teams tend to be formed. And we need to sign a lot of players.

Tend to agree. We need progress and for me that starts against Elgin.

Minimum 6 players in. All first team ready and better than we already have. Surely that’s not too much of an ask.

1 x GK
2 x CH
1 x Winger
1 x CF in the Mixu mould
Maybe a DM.

Spine of the team and work from there

[04Sauzee]

St J sign Jack Sanders from Killie.

Kevin Van Veen available and looking for a return to Scotland. Wonder who he could go as didn't do to well at Killie last season.

Realistic is punching our weight at least. If it takes 3 or four windows to fix there will be hardly any fans left to finance it. It needs sorting out pronto as a team of Hibs size in this league shouldn’t need and won’t get 3 or 4 windows to sort it out or we’ll be in big trouble.

Spot on.

Comms have been very “take” from Hibs in recent times with little “give”. Buy this, buy that with little actual back from the club. I can’t believe we’ve not heard from our new manager yet, weeks after his appointment.

Even the strip launch, weeks behind everyone else only to get the same strip as last season with a a different collar. They are missing the mark a lot right now for me.

[allezsauzee]

I'd happily wait until deadline day if it means we get the right players in at GK and CH rather than get our business done early and for most of the signings to be gash as has happened often in recent seasons. Obviously would be better to get players in earlier than that but I think any delay might also be related to bids we have received for players currently on our books which will determine how much we can be spending. I'd like to think the players we currently have will be good enough to beat the teams we are drawn against in the League cup so some of the urgency might be getting overstated.

I think it’s about getting the balance right. Of course there’ll be some deals to be had later in the window but there’s also deals to be done for players on our door step.

Mitov is the most obvious example of that but I’m sure there are others.

I don’t think anybody is expecting all the transfer business to be done now but I don’t think it’s unreasonable to have expected a couple in at least for the start of pre-season.

Depends on the players we are after though , ( btw i don't know anything here ) let's just say we are after the lad from Dundee and they are not exactly wanting to sell to one of their competitors and are being hard to deal with . Deals like that can take time .

I'm optimistic we will make a few signings soon , plenty of time yet . We have pre -season and the league cup group games to help the new signings gel with the team .

I think the amount we take in will depend on outgoings too . What is a lot btw ?. I'd be thinking we will sign roughly 6 or 7 players maximum to add with what we already have .

Our current squad is big enough to field 2 first eleven, need some outs.

Thought we agreed not to discuss MacKay's political views on here.

Having guys in early to get full fitness and confidence by winning league cup games is essential. Just ridiculous if we don't. Sets up for a shaky start, which sets up for a poor season.

I'd rather not wait until the last day of August tbh😬 league cup group stages done. Season starts 3rd/4th August so a full month of fixtures. Then settling in period, fitness etc. What could go wrong.

[04Sauzee]

Motherwell sign a forward Zach Robinson, was at loan with Dundee last season.

The league starts early August and the end of the August the transfer window shuts.

While I do understand what you’re saying - there is no real excuse for not having new players for start of the season.

It’s not like we haven’t known since January what we are missing.

Those early games in August (possibly an Edinburgh derby) could be very important for the season.

I think it’s so important for Gray more than anything.

He needs to get wins under his belt early doors for his own confidence and the fans.

If we lose in the group stage to someone people will be waiting to criticise the club.

Hearts win the Championship then straight into a 3rd place finish in the SPFL, they certainly fixed quite a bit in a very short space of time, obviously we can never do the same as it's much more difficult for us isnt it?

Would seem weird for us to get him on loan when the Bournemouth connection could get us Dennis or Paulsen. The fact it says he’s coming to challenge Wollacott makes me think Wollacott will be number 1..

Bursik on paper looks good but when reading the Stoke fans comments (even though they were 18 months-24 months ago) they’re pretty concerning.

Seems to be the general consensus is he’s a good keeper until it comes to actually saving a shot….which is no use to anyone.

Although when he was playing there he would only have been about 21 and seems he was dropped at every mistake he made which dented his confidence.

Bad injury since then doesn’t make it anymore appealing though…

Seems to be the general consensus is he’s a good keeper until it comes to actually saving a shot….which is no use to anyone.

Although when he was playing there he would only have been about 21 and seems he was dropped at every mistake he made which dented his confidence.

Bad injury since then doesn’t make it anymore appealing though…

Tbf I don't think that article says anything about it being a loan, wonder if it would be permanent or a loan

Hearts win the Championship then straight into a 3rd place finish in the SPFL, they certainly fixed quite a bit in a very short space of time, obviously we can never do the same as it's much more difficult for us isnt it?

I don't know hertz situation back then though I'd certainly think the two situations are entirely different , meaning ours is alot worse .

I know you can only beat what's in front of you but there wasn't much competition that year in St Johnstone , Motherwell and Ross County finished 4th , 5th and 6th .

When you look at where they finished after that , they seemed to be on the decline too .

[Real Emerald]

Mackay said it would take 3 windows to solve the mess we are in.....

Well Mackay and the rest of the management team will be gone if we’re still in a mess before the 3rd transfer window. A few decent signings could fix quite a lot in this window. 🤞

[GreenCastle]

Mackay said it would take 3 windows to solve the mess we are in.....

But serious improvements could be seen in this window.

In 3 seasons time I expect us to be challenging for 3rd as minimum.

Obviously MM is covering his own back but sort the spine of the team and that’s a massive start.

Signing this goalkeeper isn’t the start we are looking for though so I hope it’s just a rumour as we need better for that position.

Bursik when we could have looked at Mitov or went for Dennis or Paulson absolutely reeks of the influence of a certain ex head of recruitment. It could work out, we don’t know, but on paper it would be a ****ing dreadful signing.

Bursik has played 50 games in the English Championship, so a higher level than Dennis, Paulson and Mitov. Just about to turn 24 as well so plenty time to improve.

Made a bad move abroad and is looking to come back to the UK. If anything on paper it looks like a decent signing nah?

It's the injury and past fan reaction that make it sound like a dodgy one.

Mate is a St J fan, said Mitov is ok but had some major blunders last season....wasnt highlighted as he was at St Johnstone. Had a good end to the season when there was a bit more focus on the relegation battle. Im absolutely not bothered we missed out on him

3 windows incs the winter one, lots of players have one year left on their contracts agree about goalkeeper, this is the key position, experienced good goalkeeper breeds confidence in the defence....big mistake if going for a young player to challenge walacott for no 1 jersey...

A goalie and 2 CBs should be our first 3 signings this window with the rest to follow.

I expect a couple from Bournemouth which won't be untill the manager decides who they want to try and send, I'm sure talks should be soon.

I do think we need at least 6 players who will improve the team on a consistent basis, could this be achieved in one window? I hope so.

SDG might even use players like Rudi, Landers, Jacob and Oscar, Ruben more often.

I doubt he'd have had too much say in the players we were/are looking at. We were after Marcondes under LJ etc. He'll have probably had final say on the players presented to him.

Yeah , they were newly promoted though were they in the same position as us having a bloated squad , with players on decent wages and lengthy contracts that aren't easy to move on back then ? .

The year they came up and finished 3rd on 60 points , their rivals for top 6 ended up being Dons , St Johnstone, Motherwell and Ross County. Which wasn't as a competitive league as it would have been if Sevco and ourselves had been in it .

The year we came up and finished 4th on 67 points the league was back to what you'd expect it to be .

As to hertz fixing their problems when they came up they finished 3rd , then finished behind St Johnstone, a couple of 6th place finishes before relegation .

The position we find ourselves in now imo is alot worse than when hertz came up and will probably take about 3 transfer windows to sort out completely.

If we add some good quality players to the spine the team we should still have a decent season though or at least I hope we do .

Musa Toure a striker, whom we were reported to be interested in signing…..and some thought we had signed from Adelaide United, back in Monty’s time won’t be coming as he is in France undergoing a medical for iLique 2 side Cleremont.

He is joined there by the recently released 36 year old Melbourne Victory centre half, Da Silva.

I don't think he was injured but I don't think he got much game time last season or certainly 2nd half of last season, unless that's because Goodwin wouldn't play him because he wouldn't sign a new contract. Can't see him at Hibs tbh, although Megwa did like his post 😅

Lots still to go but I do feel we have done a decent enough job of getting players out so far. If we go on to get another 2 out from Mckirdy, Jair, Kenneh and Delferriere then I think we’ve done well from a bad starting position.

A few players in would be nice though :)

To be honest though going by this thread and others it doesnt matter who we sign because the moany mcmoany faces will still not be happy

I learned last year when posting about Le Fondre’s signing that many don’t know much about the player involved and tend to turn to Wikipedia for their information.

A few said he must be crap because he last played in India…….which he didn’t.

[bingo70]

Have you seen any of them play?

You weren’t asking me but I’ll answer, I’ve not seen them play but I have concerns about them.

The goalie’s career appears to be on a downward trajectory. He played 50 games in the championship, if he did well there then, why are other clubs at that level not battering down his door wanting to sign him? Stoke fans saying it’s he’s not great.

Robertson has made it to his 30s without making much of an impression at the clubs he’s been at, do we really think his career is going to spark to life now?

Bevan, tbh I like this sound of him and I like this kind if signing. I think it’s fair to says it’s a gamble if an untried youngster though at a time when we were hoping to be signing players who were proven good players at this level.

All three of them might be brilliant, if they sign of course, I am not sure they meet the criteria of type of players many were hoping we would sign though. I also think it’s perfectly normal to express an opinion on potential signings on this thread and not all opinions have to be positive. They’ll all be judged on the park eventually but for now, let me be the first to say I’m underwhelmed.

A lot of games for Rotherham including a year they got promoted and then subsequent games in the championship

[McGruber]

Robertson - Bevan and Bursik gives me the fear.

Agree on the face of it but would give them their shot before judging. Initial impression would be Robertson a journeyman, decent but not as good as Hanlon, Bevan the usual type of inexperienced young player & Bursik a gamble probably come in as a number 2. Not the calibre you'd hope for with the investment coming in and neither of those 3 would be near the Hearts or Aberdeen team we want to compete against.

Saying that, we might not be bringing any of them in and if we do they could be far better than I expect. Bevan inparticular coming from Bournemouth you would hope has real quality.

None of them first 11 players though in a period where we are already trying to whittle down the squad

Early morning no woke up yet 😁, now deleted and apologies for doing so.

[GreenPJ]

Not going to say anything about the goalie as would have hoped for someone truely coming in as No 1 as opposed to competition for Woolacot but we have been saying for ages that we need solid (if unspectacular) defenders (particularly CH). Robertson appears to fit that bill, is he any worse than the guys at Killie, St Mirren, even Hearts. The young lad from Bournemouth is highly rated by his own club but he needs game time. If he could replicate or better Fish's journey here (preferably not the dip in form he suffered towards the end of last season) then its a win/win and hopefully we may get 2 years out of him rather than just the 1 as he is unlikely to walk into an EPL first team at the age of 21 unless he is spectacular in which case we have still scored for a year.

We moan about no signing rumours and then as soon as some come out the knives are out before they have even had the photo op never mind kick a ball.

Go watch Moneyball and put the faith in the coaching team to make a coherent team that starts to progress to where we want to get to.

No offence intended as this isn’t directed just at you but phrases like the knives are out annoy me a bit.

This is a fans forum to discuss potential signings. It is possible to give an opinion on players or the thought of signing them without it meaning we are writing them off.

If we are all just to tow the party line and say everyone is brilliant there’s really no point in this thread.

Tbf the noises being made when we sold them around 25% of the club was that a minimal investment by their standards would be enough to guarantee European football every season. The £6m was an initial investment and more to come if needed.

To go from that to the players we are being linked with now is a bit disappointing.

Going back to what was said when Fokey was getting involved, I don’t think what the poster said you’ve quoted was that unreasonable even if they were a bit unrealistic, it’s not like he’s suggesting Messi and Mbappe.

6 million invested from the Black Knights and an extra 2.2 from shareholders. However a large amount of that will be to cover losses of the past couple of seasons, upgrade stadium and HTC.

Aberdeen are heavily backed from investors and will likely take in 5-7 million for Miovski. They rejected bids of around 2.5 million for Duk in January. They won’t be selling him to us and there’s no way we’d be able to afford him that he’d even want to come here.

McKenna will be used to premier league wages from Norwich and then went to Copenhagen, playing at the euros with Scotland again will only enhance his reputation again. He’ll have offers from top championship teams, clubs abroad and probably the old firm who can and will play significantly more than us.

Campbell is the most likely as a loan id say, but even with that I think even that will be a stretch.

We need to sign quality, but we won’t have anywhere near the money to spend that some think imo

I think the likes of McKenna although available on a free will have a number of clubs after him , on a very healthy wage, could even get European football if he goes abroad.

I was hoping we might have money to pay for some solid players who know the Scottish league and could make us better , maybe someone like Armstrong from Killie.

Is it just me who loves not getting any football player or manager updates from the club and instead the singular focus on hospitality and strip promotion?

I thought I would miss getting interviews with the new head coach or with new signings and all the excitement that brings but getting about 9 tweets from the club about a home strip that is almost exactly the same as the previous one has really perked me up.

Murder mystery evenings next?

Black Knight’s PR campaign about building a team full of quality using the investment to finish third every year was really successful. People are about to find out that it was just a PR campaign, sadly. The players we are being linked with are disappointing to say the least.

I don't disagree. I'll be first to admit I thought it would mean big things in the transfer market and we'd ***** a good few million on players we wouldn't have before. Totally reigned in my expectations now though, disappointing.

Any excitement I had looking forward to the new season is already completely gone. Obviously some class signings would change that, just not expecting it anymore.

Why did you think we'd immediately be spending millions on players? Clear from the first announcements that the initial investment would be mixed across infrastructure and players more a gradual improvement in quality. Unless I've misunderstood 🤷🏻

We then came out and said some of the infrastructure stuff has been put on the back burner and we’re focusing on the team.

[Brightside]

Let's be honest none of those players are first team 11 fits, Bevan and Robertson squad fillers, young goalkeepers are back ups, so where is the first team goalkeeper, looking like wallacott...

Have you actually seen any of them play in the last 2 years?

[Brightside]

I’m not keen on Robertson but I’m not sure that’s true about him not making much of an impression at clubs he’s been at?

Captain at Portsmouth
A lot of games for Rotherham including a year they got promoted and then subsequent games in the championship
Loads of games for Blackpool including relegation and then promotion back to league 1

Robertson is certainly a handy player, and crucially left sided.

[bringbackbenny]

We then came out and said some of the infrastructure stuff has been put on the back burner and we’re focusing on the team.

Thanks, missed that. However I don't it was ever realistic for millions to be spent. Mixture of higher quality loans and targeted/increased quality for key positions.

No worries.

To get that increased quality in key positions millions needs to be spent though. We spent close to £2 mil last summer on signings and that was before the Black Knight investment.

We need about six (being very generous) quality players that can go straight into the first team and fill the squad out. That isn’t cheap. Aye, a few loans will cover some positions, I get that.

[worcesterhibby]

Clark Robertson looks like a sensible signing to me if we make it. Lots of experience, good age, available free. We need at least three centre backs, if he's one of them its good business. You dont get made Portsmouth captain unless you have leadership qualities and experience. We are in need of both. He's left footed too.

[MWHIBBIES]

Clark ****ing Robertson?

I remember we were linked with him ten years ago when he was at Aberdeen and he was seen as potentially a poor signing THEN.

Hopefully the rumour is false.

What do you mean then? He's probably got a bit better in 10 years. Have you actually watched much of him?

[J-C]

Any ideas what they are investing for?

It'll be the Ponzi scheme surely.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

This is all in my, possibly naive humble opinion but if Robertson is someone that had been identified and approved by Gray then let's get him in.

It's going to take a lot of money and a few key players to transform these under achievers. So if we fill the squad with solid pros and target two or three key signings down the spine then I'm onboard with it

We need to get fully behind what SDG and MM are trying to achieve

[tonyrougier123]

What do you mean then? He's probably got a bit better in 10 years. Have you actually watched much of him?

Here’s my memory of Clark Robertson,slow ,very weak in the air and tackling isn’t strong. Will be silly season and us being linked with complete huddies.

Unless he’s been able to keep himself injury free and transform his entire game I would hope this is paper talk or agents stirring interest.

Not seen him play in a long time mind that said

[Donegal Hibby]

Robertson - Bevan and Bursik gives me the fear.

If these are are first signings we have learnt nothing from previous seasons.

3 players I not seen play in fairness .

Robertson ... Plenty of experience ,he's been a captain so probably has leadership qualities which we lack , left-footed CH who can play LB too . Could be a handy signing .

Bevan ... Young CH who we tried to get before . If he's anything like the other players we got from Bournemouth should be decent enough.

Bursik... Played 50 games at a high level in the championship before being bought by Scott Park for a fee of around £500k . Seems to have fallen out of favour at his current club . Could be another decent signing on paper though.

Might not be after any of them of course

[Tyler Durden]

Lots still to go but I do feel we have done a decent enough job of getting players out so far. If we go on to get another 2 out from Mckirdy, Jair, Kenneh and Delferriere then I think we’ve done well from a bad starting position.

A few players in would be nice though :)

Maybe I've missed this (not being sarcastic), who have we managed to get rid of? Other than McClelland.

Hopefully Hendo did enough whilst on loan to earn a move away this window. No idea what we’re going to do about Tavares.

[GreenPJ]

What’s Moneyball got to do with how we’re looking for players? I don’t think there’s any comparison at all.

So people are criticising Robertson on what basis - how he played as a 20 year old for Aberdeen 10 years ago? Since then he has played at a decent level, has been given a captaincy has had regular/decent game time each season since he left Aberdeen 10 years ago.

He isn't the big name, doesn't appear to be spectacular but based on his playing time and captaincy he must be reasonably solid/consistent which is what we have needed for a while. Moneyball concept is about finding people who are pretty consistent at the job they are their to do which is why the reference.

If we just wanted someone who was reasonably solid/consistent we should have just kept Hanlon.

I want us to sign good players that could progress on to a higher level.

[GreenPJ]

No offence intended as this isn’t directed just at you but phrases like the knives are out annoy me a bit.

This is a fans forum to discuss potential signings. It is possible to give an opinion on players or the thought of signing them without it meaning we are writing them off.

If we are all just to tow the party line and say everyone is brilliant there’s really no point in this thread.

Agree we all have opinions and are entitled to them but if you read some of the entries they have written him/the goalie off without anything to really back it up. I certainly didn't say any of the names were brilliant but Robertson appears to me that he ticks a number of the boxes that needed to be ticked. The reality is that we won't know either way until someone signs and gets 10 games under their belts.

[Tyler Durden]

Those players need experienced pros around them to help them develop.

We can't keep turning our noses up at guys like Robertson IMO. If we'd signed someone like a Joe Shaughnessy last summer (or in January rather than a prospect like Triantis) we'd likely have finished top 6.

We need 4 CBs in total anyway, so Robertson seems like a good option as a left footer.

[thebausburst]

Unpopular opinion but I’m glad to see Hendo back, proved last year he’s a good player, imo technically probably our best player and would be great to have someone who can actually threaten from a free kick. I know about the physicality argument but he is the one player for me I’d like to see given another chance with the right support and formation etc.

[GreenPJ]

We need stability for a while, that means players who are decent at their job but Hibs might be as far as they get (particularly recognising age). Not every player will go onto progress beyond Hibs but if they contribute to a successful team then they have done their job. For me Hanlon could have been decent back-up in the squad but I can also see why the club wanted to make a clean break.

Players like that are only appealing for so long. When the novelty of their averageness and steadiness wears off we will soon get frustrated at us just being pish.

I want good players, that’s how we will improve.

The current idea of looking for steady Eddie players reminds me a bit of us selling Darren Jackson but being reassured it would be fine as we were going for a team of good players rather than relying on one star player. That was a long time ago and I’ve had a lot of pints since then so my memory may be playing tricks on me but the idea of going for average players because they know the league or whatever has alarm bells ringing for me.

We should be going for the best players we can afford, not settling for average journeymen because they’ll do a short term job.

I thought one of the things our new investors were brought in to do is improve the recruitment of players.
The reported Six million the Black Knights put in has so many stipulations attached by SFA that very little of that will be used on player recruitment It will be loans from other clubs the group own with them still paying hopefully a large chunk of thier wages
Ian Murray probably wasn’t that far off the mark when he said Hibs didn’t have as much money to spend on players as fans think
The more recent share issue money of over 2 million I hope is in the main to help bring in players But as we saw last season that sum of money can easily be wasted on poor recruitment and high wages
Manly has been brought in for a reason I think And part of that is in short term to reduce our overall wage bill and run a tighter ship for this season so our debt doesn’t continue to rise Get some stability move players on and look to build on that next season
So am not expecting big things this season Top six as minimum
But hope am proved wrong

We can't fix all the problems in one window. The defence was much maligned last season, we need to stabilise that part of the pitch. Up front we didn't score enough goals, we have lost one striker and there is a risk that our two wide creative players could be away. The midfield has bodies but not the right balance. The goalkeeper has retired and his back-up has not convinced enough to be comfortably the new No 1. For me if we get solid players for defence in this window but then spend money up front as you won't win games without scoring goals and if we don't have attacking intent the defence is going to be constantly under pressure no matter who the players are.
