Wollacott and Harbottle not in the squad tonight

Bizarre that Boruc has played 2 games as a trialist for Swindon, you would expect to maybe see them both away. Not sure Harbottle would have been on the bench at the weekend had Youan been fit.

What was the point in signing Boruc? Was he meant to be a cheap 3rd choice for the European games, allowing Murray Johnson to stay out on loan until Wollacot got injured? Or just another signing without any real plan we are now trying to move on within a year of signing?

I don’t understand why we didn’t just sign a veteran keeper for a month to cover the European games than recall Johnson to miss yet another seasons development.

Is the answer not - because we didn’t have a f’ing clue what we were doing, compounding mistakes all over the shop in an attempt to react to short term crises?

Maybe take a chance on a young keeper to see if they could develop him, maybe they now think he just isn’t good enough but if they can shift Wollacot first can see him being around until he get another keeper in

[Wheat Hound]

Just been told Hibs bid for Kieran Bowie

Very promising player at Raith and has done well on loan. Still only 21 so would hopefully be a permanent move.

[Unseen work]

Go let SDG go and buy who he wants.

He’s setting us up right and seems to have common sense.

If he wants a Luke McCowan (who imo would solve a massive part of our midfield) then let him get him.

[Unseen work]

Reliable source?

9 goals and 5 assists in league one for a winger is very good going. Only 21 too.

Youan replacement?

No the post you replied to was correct. Not sure anyone at Hibs could’ve predicted that we’d have ended up on the third choice keeper in our second game last season. If signing Boruc had allowed Johnson to get games on loan it would’ve been worth it. Couldn’t really do much about the injuries so it didn’t work out that way in the end

[GreenCastle]

Watching tonight..x2 central strikers - Think Keatings / Cummings / Stokes..or Holt / Cummings / Commons - right now it's just Vente...keep Boyle wide..x1 playmaker - number 10 (Latapy / Allan type) - just someone to unlock stubborn backlinesx1 cente back minimum - Rocky is a liability sadly and have the fear if either of the new guys gets injured. x1 CDM or box to box type midfielder - still need a proper CDM who protects the back line or a player who can get in the faces of the opposition and win tackles - think we will need more energy against better teams. We also still need cover at left back...If Youan leaves I would like us to try find a left winger. Lots to ask and obviously players to move out but it's what we need to challenge for 4th.

That’s fair enough as regards that game, that time and that situation.

Were we not in a position by the end of the window though that we were out of Europe (and not needing a third keeper) and Marshall was fit again, therefore if we’d wanted him to, Murray Johnson could have gone out on loan? Only by then we’d sacked our manager and didn’t really have anyone to oversee such decision making other than the “not really the director of football” Brian McDermott?

Just been told Hibs bid for Kieran BowieWould be an interesting one..looks like he can play anywhere along front line. Good feet - quick - scores goals. Contract expires in 2025 at Fulham.He will also know Rudi from Scotland u21s.

[LEaston87]

The Evening News now reporting about him being one of a number of names we are interested in. I hope we sign him

[Dibben]

Seen Bowie play last year against Leyton Orient.

Looked a good player.

[04Sauzee]

Told by who?

By someone who would know that's all I'm willing to say. Was also told he's spoken to Wigan, Wrexham are interested and another club who I can't remember sorry.

[B.H.F.C]

With the game out the way tonight, hopefully we start seeing things move before the end of the week. Promising start on the park, we really need to try and build on that and strengthening the squad would really help.

[Not In The Know]

If that's the best 3 players of the last 5 years , we have to be better ...A Scotland international (starter). A Hot prospect in Seria A. And fair enough Nisbet been average but still can and probably will play for Scotland again. Aye a shambles right enough!!! Name any other Scottish team who have had multiple players move onto better outwith the old firm. And before you say Aberdeen….

[B.H.F.C]

Bowie looks like he’s got a decent amount of experience for his age, over 120 senior games.

First glance he doesn’t have that many goals to his name but he scored and assisted more in League One last season than he did in League Two the year before, so he’s obviously an improving player and managed the step up. Looks to have played wide a fair bit as well.

[WellingtonHibby]

Told by who?

The Hibs Observer saying we've been offered him rather than a proactive bid

I don’t understand why we didn’t just sign a veteran keeper for a month to cover the European games than recall Johnson to miss yet another seasons development.Because we wanted MJ on loan to develop however you need 3 goalkeepers for European competition, 1 starting and 2 on the bench, for every game.

Injuries happened and all in all it was a waste of time.

Totally agree. Man Utd knew exactly what they were doing here- rather than sack him (as they should've) they kept him out of the news for long enough to be able to retain as much of his value as possible.

I don't like cancel culture but this guy should be cancelled and never play again.

I think they just done what they could in a difficult situation for them. He was a good player and a valuable one to them and obviously they would not be in a position to play him anymore.

Ultimately all charges were dropped. He is still with his partner and we really don’t know anything about the context of the things we’ve heard.

There are various teams willing to sign him so fair enough I think that Utd get an exit from a position that was also unhelpful to them.

I wouldn't disagree with any on that list which might also include Mckirdy on it to that could potentially move from the club this window . There's 3 imo we should definitely try to move on even if it's only on loan .

I hope your right in it might be a busy few weeks , a striker must now be a priority, think we might take in another as well maybe like the one you heard about that could possibly play anywhere across the front .

I’m guessing Wollacott wants away rather than have another year sitting on the bench. He’s got two years on a deal and isn’t very good so we might well be happy to just get him off the books. Get someone in on a comparative or cheaper wage, doesn’t all need to be about the fee.

He’s ahead of Boruc and Bursik is on loan and has had at least one serious injury.

Is Wollacott likely to move to a team that'll pay him more than we do? I obviously hope he's ambitious and wants to move to play games. But a backup keeper must be the best gig in football.

Not if they actually want to play football it's not

Wollacot wasn't good enough to dislodge a aging Marshall, we've now brought in a younger and better keeper on loan, if he wants 1st team football he'll have to move to get it.

He will want to stay in the Ghana squad and the best way to do that will be to play regular football. It’s just a straight swap, I know we want other positions sorted but transfers will happen when they happen.

It wasn’t that obvious to Man Utd, they were planning on keeping him and presumably playing him after the charges were dropped, it was fan uproar that made them change their minds and look to move him on.

There is absolutely no ‘context’ that excuses Greenwoods actions and would make me want him to sign for a club i supported. Role models are important.

If Nisbet is being offered out by his club, we should at least be enquiring. One year loan might just be what he thinks he needs to get another big move.

Beneficial to him and Hibs of course

If there is one thing Hibs will know that if he's being offered our for loan, is that if he's the type of player or character that we want. If he is we will be front of the queue, if he isn't then we won't waste our time. I would trust the decision makers to get this one right.

Millwall manager called him extremely unprofessional and not dedicated to the standard required.What Neil Harris said in May when he dropped Nisbet, along with Michael Obafemi, from a matchday squad was: "With Kevin, it’s a disciplinary matter about culture and standards.

That works both ways though, it’s not as black and white as being charged or convicted. If I see someone beat the daylights out of someone in a pub in an overreaction, but no charges are brought, I still know they’re a violent person I wouldn’t want to be working with or around my family.

Anyone who’s heard the recordings and seen the pictures knows what greenwood is, the majority of Manchester United fans seem to feel the same way

Yeh, I checked it out. He was 22 when Kasper was born. Pretty young I guess when you read today that a majority of women are 35+ when they have their first baby.

I dont know enough about this case to have an informed opinion. Why were the charges dropped? As you say there's often a lot the public aren't made aware of when relying only on media reports for their info. I see, for example, that convicted mass murderer Lucy Letby has her defenders among the legal profession despite public revulsion.

[GreenCastle]

Would be good to start adding more new faces again soon - I keep saying it but depth is our current issue. Not just off the bench but we still lack key starting players in areas like midfield.

I’m obviously happy to wait for the right players but are we waiting till Youan is sold for more ££ or others to leave - 1 in 1 out situation?

Was it something the partner actually asks for? Is this just the usual way they interact with each other? We don’t know what people get up to in their relationships.

Came in with a pedigree and you could tell he had talent but he definitely looked like a player coming back from a bar injury. It just never really clicked for him here although he clearly wanted to push himself and his team mates.

Didn't mind Marcondes but wouldn't have pushed the boat out to keep him. Could be a player for someone with the right preseason and system for him.

Pretty disappointing not to get any fee for him but guess it's a big wage off the books. I still prefer having 2 high quality GKs back when we had Marciano and Bogdan for example. However, saying money here probably allows up to address other areas.

His distribution was excellent in his first game i watched, subsequent games that i missed he was supposedly less so and messy dealing with passbacks. How good a passer you are and how good your touch is when you receive a pass from someone else, are two very different skills, but with keepers we like to lump them together as ‘distribution’, for some reason! We havent seen enough body of evidence to be really sure IMO.

Murray Aiken (Airdrie)
Murray Johnson (Airdrie)
Kyle McClelland (Coleraine)
Oscar McIntyre (QOS

You haven't listed Le Fondre and there's also Harry Wright, Jamie Bulloch, Robbie Hamilton, Owen Hastie, Jay McGarva and Alfie Smith who were released.

Wollocott was really strange as we paid a fee and gave him a three year deal but made him our number two keeper.

Presuming we won’t be doing the same with this guy so would make more sense IMO. Hard to get decent, experienced goalies to sit on the bench.

I don't think he was a bad signing at the time full international with Ghana and by most accounts had a good season with Charlton before he joined us. Just one that didn't seem to work out.

[Exuberance1875]

Thanks for the memories Jojo.

[AlbertK86]

Aye, probably right.

Hope the keeper is the first of the rumoured three signings this week!

I hope not as the three were said to be quality signings.

I don’t think he fits that criteria so hopefully their is still thee of quality to come.

Ndaba, McGowan and Myzaine will be my first picks and being greedy I would like an out and out big powerful striker to compliment Vente

Was a copy and paste job from the first post on this thread 😅

Take your point though that's a good number out the door.

[TrinityHFC]

Did you follow or read about this? If not I’d suggest you do. No proceedings following a key witness withdrew their cooperation.

I’ve read enough to understand the context of it all.

It was dropped due to a combination of witness withdrawing and additional material that came to light.

His partner didn’t make the initial complaint. Man U also held an inquiry that found he wasn’t guilty of the things alleged. This wasn’t disputed by his partners family who took part in it.

We absolutely don’t know from anything made public how and why the materials that were made public came into being.

I don’t know either way either. We don’t know without information that we are never going to get.

It would only really be Wollacott and Henderson that you'd say we've done well to get out. Kenneh, JDH, McKirdy, Harbottle next please. Some of them may take until deadline day to shift you'd imagine.

[GordonHFC]

Kenneh is one of the highest paid and needs shifted pronto.

[cammy1969]

So I make it 17 players out (inc 5 loan deals coming to an end and 4 going out on loan)Three players in will become 4 if keeper confirmed.Did we start with something like 44 players (that’s the figure in my head, but can’t remember where I saw/heard it, so might be miles off!)If I’m right (and keeper joins) we have a squad of 31 (?) players as it stands. What sort of number should we be looking at?

I would think 33-35 at most as did we not want 1st 11 a back up for each position and a youth player for each position.

How do you know what he is paid?

I would doubt he's one of the highest paid players at Hibs, more likely on an average first team wage, whatever that is.

How much is he getting?

[1875Sean]

Who was it Wollacott had a very good save against?

Nobody

[Brightside]

Almost every player mentioned seems to be one of our highest paid. No wonder we are skint.

[sleeping giant]

No chance he is the highest paid player.

A certain poster on here said when he signed that Hibs couldn't believe they managed to sign him, there's every chance he's on a big wage.

He really did, he made a fantastic save at Livingston

[.Sean.]

Kenneh is one of the highest paid and needs shifted pronto.As is Jair apparently and combined they offer the square route of **** all. Depressing

There was also another part to the police statement which stated that 'new material' emerged. That is maybe the context that we are not privy to, without a trial we will never really know.

Any news on who is apparently interested in Jair? Based on Craigan the other night it sounded like there was interested clubs.

Anyone have any idea what he’s like?

I’d imagine he’s coming in as no.2

[04Sauzee]

1 out 1 in today then.

[Ozyhibby]

:agree:

The most boring thing on this website is the folk (often the same ones) posting every time a thread hasn’t went exactly as they would like it to/isn’t full of opinions they agree with to tell us that they don’t like the content/how crap the site has become. It’s almost like some folk think all the other posters on the site are here simply to entertain them personally.

Or asking for threads to be closed.[emoji849][emoji23]

The comments online suggest he’s a really good guy but not so good a keeper.

I’ll be surprised if we ever really find out how good or bad he is.
