Where have you been reading the fans opinion?

I haven’t read it. My mate Luke and his lad like to watch MK dons as there local team. Asked him about it when it first was raised. Not overly complimentary - ‘showed promise but underperformed. Lacks pace and strength any level.’

[Slim Shady]

Hmmm. A player released by a League 2 Club after a 8-1 hammering in the playoff, described by their fans as an 'underperformer'. I would not be amused if this is the big plan / third place squad we are looking to assemble. Actually feels more of Terry Butcher squad being built than a 3rd place challenger!

If he comes, will absolutely be supported.

Still only June. No need to panic. Two weeks before out first competitive fixture.

Two weeks to go and our current squad is weaker than last season...........

And we dont have a lot of money to spend on getting players in.

Yet searching social media there’s chat that he’s physical and is a good ball player. Strong in the middle of a back 3. Apparently not a great season this year but had injuries - a move nearly happened last summer but didn’t so possibly dented his performances.

That's a different player you are describing without a doubt.

Yes, didn’t ever expect we’d be done before the first cup game. I think we will be building things in a sustainable way too. Did you think we were going to spend a fortune in the first couple of weeks of the summer?

I think Dundee are about to announce Simon Murray.

Edit ... I talk pish, their manager signed a new contract 🤪

Where are you seeing this?

He might be decent but let’s be honest I think we were all hoping for a higher calibre of signing when the Black Knights investment was announced, than centre halfs from a shocking level like the English League 2

Hope I’m obviously wrong and he’s class

I dinnae mind us taking a few chances on players like O'Hora and Bursik, but it has to be among other solid signings. If we're just going to fill the team up with these players I'll be worried.

[Hillsidehibby]

I cannot wait to see Newell Campbell and JDH running out for the first game.

Should be more than enough to see off Elgin whilst we try to bring the correct players in.

[04Sauzee]

Listening to the boys from the Hibs Observer live on YouTube this morning, they sounded hopeful that Hibs would have 1 or 2 in before the go to the Netherlands, even maybe by Saturday's friendly. They did fall about Bevan and O'Hora but that maybe because these are the names that have been banded about.

[Donegal Hibby]

We got Rob Jones from league 2 who I think had played less games in it and he turned out to be not a bad signing.

[McGruber]

Can field a fairly strong 11 still with everyone fit

Bursik

Miller Harbottle Bushiri Obita

Newell Amos Moriah-Welsh

Boyle Vente Youan

Probably best we could field right now, or maybe Campbell/Levitt ahead of Amos who's not got up and running here yet

And that's based on the assumption that we sign no one between now and the 13th of July

[Springbank]

One difference with Rob Jones, he was coming into a settled team with guys around him who were all playing well already, and who (in some cases) were / would go on to be full internationals

Brown
Thomson
Whittaker
Murphy
Fletcher
Beuzelain
Stewart
Zemmama
Benji

He was a missing piece of a jigsaw, where the jigsaw was already in a pretty good place

This year's signings don't have quite that starting point

[McGruber]

And that's based on the assumption that we sign no one between now and the 13th of July

Yeah. Our deficiencies are there for all to see but we aren't a blank canvas. Will wait to see who comes in before judging. Hoping we keep Youan for 1 more season too

[Unseen work]

https://www.sitdownorwellstealyourclub.com/phpbb2/viewtopic.php?f=20&t=8091

That’s a MK Dons fans forum about O’Hora.

Seems really highly rated and a real captain however after getting an injury and not getting a move last summer his form seemed to dip. A few saying it was lack in clarity about what he was doing tactically so don’t know what the manager was asking.

A lot on twitter about him being really good on the ball and one of the best defenders in league 2 and league 1 when he was in it

Whether or not that team is fairly strong really depends on your aspirations for Hibs.

Leaving aside that we don’t have much to go in to know whether or not Harbottle or Bursik are up to scratch, I don’t think that’s a team that has a prayer of getting top 6.

And that’s before Amos is injured, and we’ve figured out if Boyle and Youan have much /any interest in turning up and putting in any effort.

It’s a team that’s relying on St Johnstone remaining a mess to avoid the drop imo.

I genuinely don’t think Harbottle is as bad as he gets made out on here, poor guy has hardly had a chance.

If you put him in the majority of the expected bottom 6 teams he’d probably look good

If we can set up solid defensively and not expose centre halves we’ll already look much better

[Smartie]

O’Hora show is the last thing we need right now. It's already a shambles :greengrin

All you can really say about Harbottle is that the jury is out.

He’s maybe the only player we have who I think merits some “clean slate” chat and I’m 💯 not against him getting an opportunity.

Malky started with Hibs the same day that his RC contract expired.
3 weeks between Monty out and Gray in (14th May - 6th June).

Fairly normally timescales.

[McGruber]

Our defence was horrendous last season, and with Fish out and Harbottle in, it's even worse. I'd not expect anything from that team.

It won't be the team and Harbottle clearly won't play, it's just possibly the strongest we could field at the present time. Enough for top 6 and challenging for Europe, no - enough for Elgin, yes.

I'm counting on us bringing in 4 or 5 nailed on starters, including 2 centre backs

[Leitherhibs]

Harbottle seems to have been written off entirely, without him having had any sort of chance, could he force his way into SDG's plans with some good showings in pre season? I think he might you know, good in the air, looks a strong lad, and a 'defend first' defender, I think that's exactly the type Gray will value.

Factor in the front 3 might not be here by end of the window, or at least have been thinking about wanting to leave, tho obviously we'd hope to bring replacements in for them.....this isn't a squad that will be any where near third or fourth place....

Yeah, I agree, nowhere near 3rd or 4th. It won't be the team that starts the season either, there will be comings and goings. I expect/hope for 4 or 5 real quality additions to the first 11 before we kick off

Think it actually shows we’re not too far away. Obviously at least 2 new starting CB’s, add Bevan to make it three and, in my opinion, thats a good starting 11. Definitely better than anything other than obviously OF and probably Hearts.

Obviously need a bit more quality to bulk out the squad. Midfielder, winger(s) and striker. But if we get Boyle, Vente and Youan firing that’s as good a front three as anything else. Youan surely away though.

[McGruber]

Do you know I completely forgot about Cadden 😬

FWIW, I like Cadden probably more as a wing back than full back. I'd probably start Cadden more but Miller if I felt we would be on the back foot and under the cosh, bigger unit that defends better if not as good a footballer as Cadds.... might end up playing them both sometimes

[Smartie]

I thought Cadden and Egan-Riley gave us a solid right hand side for the half season or so that they played together... so I wouldn't be against the idea of playing Cadden further forward with a full back behind him.

[Gordy M]

Who have we lost that were first team starters? Maolida, Fish and Marshall? Possibly Marcondes though that could be argued. We have a new manager in place and now a new keeper. Id say with a few new additions, we are not far away. Killie only won 3 more games than us im sure, so getting up towards the top of the league should def be on the cards. I dont think we are a 'shambles' as many on here like to claim.

[ancient hibee]

Evening News now running with the Warren O’Hora rumour. A name that was posted on here a few days ago.

Not so sure about this signing tbh

Maolida is a huge loss though. That's a lot of goals, and we're yet to find out what the situation is with Boyle and Youan.

Given scoring goals wasn't really a problem last season but keeping them out was, and that we're yet to make moves other than to sign the GK - I think we have every reason to be concerned right now, even if it's still far from panic stations.

Same, it wasn't "this is a team that'd take care of Elgin", the post said "can field a fairly strong 11".

My response to the post was based on that not being a strong 11 at all.

Of course he is, but he will be replaced, as will Fish unless you genuinely think we wont sign anyone. My point being that we had a poor season last year that a lot of folk put down to the manager, well thats changed now and we have lost say 3 first team players who will be replaced. Im not sure we are in as bad a place as folk make out. Thats all.

[tam4hibs]

We got Rob Jones from league 2 who I think had played less games in it and he turned out to be not a bad signing.

That was 18 years ago. 18!

And as mentioned brought into a team full of a generations best youngsters.

How many others have we signed from league 1 &2 since then that have had a meaningful impact, become real heroes or sold on? There must be close to a hundred signed and we have to revert back to Rob Jones.

I dont know if he’s any good. Just what I was told. Certainly would raise any eyebrows if he signed for RC, Livi or Raith.

And those that say, ‘ah, could be a good squad player’ - enforces the position we are in today with 44 squad players and very few first team quality.

We were promised quality over quantity. If, and it’s a big if, this is a real signing, then I think we are just ‘same old same old’. Young loan squad players (mayenda) or lower league squad players (harbottle).

I am frequently wrong and hope I am again. Genuinely.

[JimBHibees]

Spoke to a couple of English forest fans in Germany who were surprised he hadn’t played more up here as he had played well at Mansfield and scored something like 8 goals for them.

Good luck to Murray, think he would have had a chance at first team this season due to his form at Airdrie but picked up a really bad injury which ruled him out.

Hopefully it’s a 6 month loan with view of getting him into the first team come January

[ian cruise]

I thought Cadden and Egan-Riley gave us a solid right hand side for the half season or so that they played together... so I wouldn't be against the idea of playing Cadden further forward with a full back behind him.

Cadden and Miller should work well together, as Cadden can drop back when Miller goes forward. It means sacrificing Boyle out on the right but he's not likely to feature in the first few games as he's been on international duty so worth giving it a go.

Having Cadden and Miller as our right hand side is an incredibly depressing thought.

A full back playing infront of a full back. A massive no for me.

I know it was . I vaguely remember us signing him and being underwhelmed about it at the time . How wrong was I !.

I don't know much about O'Hora other than he was highly rated here at one point and after signing for Brighton he picked up ' YPotY ' there , after that I never heard anymore about him .

My comparison with Rob Jones is signing a player from the English 1 or 2 doesn't necessarily mean we are getting a dud . Anyhow it's only paper speculation as yet so we might not be in for him like Robertson either.

Not aimed at you though there's been moaning for a lack of signings , the minute we do sign someone or are linked with anyone we are moaning about it too.

In he's to old , young , inexperienced , league he's game from is s**** etc etc .

Whoever we sign let's give them a chance rather than getting all negative about it .

Think we have made a decent start with the keeper tbh 👍

[CentreForward]

Ridiculous lack of chances Harbottle has had so we can’t really judge him properly. Hopefully he gets some good game time in the League Cup so we can see what he’s really about?

[Brooster]

Yes, didn’t ever expect we’d be done before the first cup game. I think we will be building things in a sustainable way too. Did you think we were going to spend a fortune in the first couple of weeks of the summer?

Investment money has been used to plug holes (the info is there on companies house) and the refurbs.

Tait & Mackay were reasonable punts that failed to pay off, the others less so.

Would be interesting to know how much it’s costing us to pay off these guys and the others in lump sums and wages contributions towards their loans on folk who would never have kicked a ball for us in the first team

Wonder what sort of transfer fee would Man Utd want for Fish ?

[Alex Trager]

So is this where we are with the outs?

Lots more to go.

I dont think you will see us spend much money at all on transfer fees.

Investment money has been used to plug holes (the info is there on companies house) and the refurbs.

We dont have 1-2 Million quid at our disposal to bring in players.Hey slim that's terrible news who told you this ?

I know it was . I vaguely remember us signing him and being underwhelmed about it at the time . How wrong was I !.

I don't know much about O'Hora other than he was highly rated here at one point and after signing for Brighton he picked up ' YPotY ' there , after that I never heard anymore about him .

My comparison with Rob Jones is signing a player from the English 1 or 2 doesn't necessarily mean we are getting a dud . Anyhow it's only paper speculation as yet so we might not be in for him like Robertson either.

Not aimed at you though there's been moaning for a lack of signings , the minute we do sign someone or are linked with anyone we are moaning about it too.

In he's to old , young , inexperienced , league he's game from is s**** etc etc .

Whoever we sign let's give them a chance rather than getting all negative about it .

Think we have made a decent start with the keeper tbh 👍

I think that a lot of people on here need to realise that the average player we sign aren’t going to be non loan signings of first team players, playing at SPL or English championship level, approaching their peak, with a clean injury record and loved by their current fans.

Even with investment signings like this are going to be one a season if we’re very lucky.

We’ve had over £8 million invested in the club since January. I’d be hugely surprised (and disappointed) if at least two of that isn’t reinvested into the first team.

Over £13m invested as £5m+ of debt was repaid by the Gordon’s via an equity swap. At the AGM the forecast was for a decent set of accounts to come with the extra £2.25 on top of that. There should be plenty money to invest in the squad.

[we are hibs]

All the players we have managed to move on so far were pretty low hanging fruit.


The likes of Kenneh, Henderson, McKirdy and Tavares are the ones that will be difficult to shirt.

Kenneh played 33 games for Shrewsbury in League One we should be able to find him a move.

We could probably shift Henderson. Maybe the club don’t want to at the moment.

I’m maybe being optimistic but I also think Swindon would take Mckirdy and we would need to give a payout of some sort to make up for his wage cut.

Jair and Kenneh probably the same with English league two or league one clubs.

That’s not to say we will successfully get rid of all 4, even if we want to, but it might not be as impossible as some think.

It’s kinda like where they were a while back. It was hilarious watching them consistently be **** and get relegated, again! Plenty duff players signing for them. But we did say, if they manage to get it right behind the scenes then it wouldn’t be funny anymore. They kinda have done that.

Surely Henderson won't be given a clean slate one of the few players who's actually had a good chance and been so poor. I actually think we could squeeze a small fee out of him as looks like he had a good season. He would be right at the top of the clear out list for that reason alone.

His drive and athleticism are great. I’m not sure if the stats back up my opinion but i felt we got worse and looked a bit more flat when Cadden came back last season.

It's a big season for Miller. He's more experienced and is at the stage where he should be looking to be first choice at Hibs. I like him, he needs more consistency and to stop throwing himself to the ground as much.

No, it would be very unusual for a company to file spending plans at Companies House. Even the annual accounts often don't give specific details although it's usually fairly easy to work out what the funds were used for.

I think the debt conversion (£5m?) will have gone a long way to clearing up the mess for the seasons prior to last season, but no doubt some of the actual cash invested will be going towards refurbishments etc, plus we need to consider the increased wage demands that come with transfer fees so we definitely won't be spending the full £8m on transfer fees.

It's a tricky time to know where we stand financially.

Last year's accounts weren't great and you don't have to be looking too closely to have seen that we haven't been to Hampden all that often or finished in the top six last season, so that will have an impact.

Some player departures in recent years (Doig, Nisbet, the much heralded Melkersen money spinner) will have put some more back in the coffers.

We have invested in our facilities - an investment that you'd think should have a positive knock on effect on revenue in due course.

Then there's the BK money.

IMO - we might be minted, we might be skint, we're probably somewhere in between.

If we keep shopping the Marcondes / Maolida market then I suspect we're minted, if our arrivals are less-celebrated then that might suggest we're not so prosperous.

That last paragraph will show if how prosperous we are, and I know the goalkeeper we got on loan has played 50 games for Stoke city, but that was over a few years, he might be an amazing signing, but I suspect if this is the route we are going, then maybe we don't have as much as we all thought...

[southern hibby]

I’m not a financial guru in any way shape or form.

However if I was at hibs I’d try and get loans in first or frees because if we go out and spend some dosh ( if we have it to spend) then anyone we’re after will be dearer to buy because their club will know we have cash to splash.

So for this reason alone I’m chilled. Now come the end of the transfer window and we’ve not got what we believe we need I might get a bit annoyed.

[matty_f]

I don’t doubt that there is money to spend, how much, who knows?

Kensell did tell Hibs First members that he was pulling money from planned infrastructure to focus on the team, and I think that was before we know we’d finished eighth, which would have taken even more money out.

It’s safe to say we’re not flush, but we shouldn’t be anywhere close to skint either.

[Unseen work]

This is what I really dislike about miller.

He buys fouls for no reason and at times when we would be much better off him just staying on his feet and beating his man.

He goes looking for contact when at times it would be easier and to the benefit of the team to stay up.

Cadden is the exact opposite and will try stay on his feet at all times, I think him coming back and playing like that made a huge difference as it helped the team transition and play into space. Miller allows teams to constantly regroup and get back in shape

He’s 6 ft 3 and an athlete, run right through them if you need to!

You questioned him when he said they post women's news, they do. The first two posts on insta are a female signing. I'm not saying whether that is good or bad it's just a fact he is correct.

If we're being hijacked by Exeter, then we're obviously not as flush with cash as we thought.

Maybe Exeter want him more than Hibs do?

From the record report

Hibs are facing competition for Warren O'Hora.

'The hibees are considering making an offer to the former MK Dons defender, who is availbale as a free agent.'


Sounds to me he's only one of a number of targets under consideration

[Gordy M]

We arent missing out on any player we really want to Exeter, unless the player wants to move for geographical/family reasons.

Marvin Ekpiteta, 28 year old centre half who is out of contract after leaving Blackpool.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Exeter aren't highjacking Hibs signing, they have shown an interest in a player that is being courted by a number of clubs including Hibs. I'd be more worried about Reading and Bolton wanting him more than Exeter, they maybe able to offer more money than Hibs, I doubt Exeter will.

Every Blackpool fan I can find online was gutted he left so might be a decent option.

[GreenCastle]

I have a feeling that Bevan will be on a similar level to Fish so definitely first team material.

You can have all the feelings you want but having watched Bevan play I would prefer Fish.

More experience and potential to improve.

If we had brought in an experienced good keeper I wouldn’t be too worried about 1 younger centre half but the spine of the team is so important.

Let’s not suddenly forgot how many goals we lost last season!!

[Paul1642]

Absolutely. Folk can be a negative as the want about Hibs but even they must be able to see that Exeter won’t be able to offer a single thing at the same level as us.

We have much superior finances, training facilities, history, playing squad, stadium, attendances and opposition.

If a player chooses them over us it’s going to be because they want to live in the south of England for whatever personal reasons.

We can change a lot about the club but location is not one of those things.

We lost those goals with a very experienced GK and Centre half. Experience isn’t everything if the ability is not there or the player is past it.

I really would like Fish back though and with 1 year left on his Man U deal I’m not sure what would stop it happening if the player and Hibs wanted it.

[04Sauzee]

All eyes on Hibs Central on X. News on the Private Members which he’ll be sure to lift from there and pass off on X as his own.

I think the lack of an experienced partner did him no favours at all. If we get one I’d be happy to see him return on loan. Wouldn’t be paying a big fee for him though.

I mentioned Fish earlier in I wondered what sort of fee Man Utd would want for him . Imo if it was possible to get him back it would be a good move for us especially with names likes of O'Horo and Ekpiteta getting mentioned now .

Was offered £4.5k by Hibs, went back to Wigan for £7k. Looking for the best for his family

Doubt them. Chat from the player was the deals were broadly for the same but the amounts were guaranteed at Wigan and results based at Hibs.

[GreenCastle]

Yeah, let’s just go for neither. Bevan not what we need as you say and Fish is poor.

I wasn’t a massive fan of Fish either.

We need better centrally than we did last season.

Someone steady and reliable - someone who can just do the basics of defending.

Bevan is similar to Porto the way he plays but less rash. Not convinced but as always will give everyone a chance.

[Crab apple]

Wasn't that the point though. He was only offered a new contract on a reduced salary. Unfortunately it was still more than we were prepared to pay?

I guess we will have a salary ceiling. I wonder who our top earner is and what we pay. Presumably for JK we maybe felt his recent injury was a factor in not pushing the boat out. Shame as I liked him at Saints and he seems like captain material.

I too like Kerr but 2 good things stand out for me from Hibs here

1) moving to more results based contracts - sure we will miss out on a few but those who come will be willing to succeed (in theory) and

2) JK has a lot of injury similarities with Kyle McGennis & a results based contract seems the right approach (even if it didn't work out in JKs case)

Exeter are a mid table League 1 side. It doesn't surprise me that they're looking at similar players to us.

They'd never beat us to a Marcondes or Maolida, but players already playing in the English lower leagues, where we're interested but not desperate to sign specific players. No reason we wouldn't be looking at similar players.

If we were desperate to get the player, I'm sure we'd be offering a package they wouldn't be competing with.
