Missing ALF from the Confirmed Outs

Missing ALF from the Confirmed Outs

And McLelland.

Missing ALF from the Confirmed Outs

Missing a few from the Confirmed Ins too 😡

[bingo70]

And McLelland.

Has he been confirmed as leaving? Thought it was just rumours.

[Onceinawhile]

Has he been confirmed as leaving? Thought it was just rumours.

Crusaders on loan. I'm 75% certain hibs confirmed it.

[JohnM1875]

Scott Burns article confirming Aberdeen are to trigger Mitov six figure release clause.

[PHeffernan]

And McLelland.

Still tabloid talk at this stage.
No announcement from Hibs.

[bingo70]

Scott Burns article confirming Aberdeen are to trigger Mitov six figure release clause.

I’m really hoping we sign the guy Paulson from Bournemouth.

[Unseen work]

Really hope we make a statement and get Mitov over Aberdeen. Really good keeper, played alot of games, is a good age and one player of the year two years in a row.

[04Sauzee]

I’m really hoping we sign the guy Paulson from Bournemouth.

Mitov is a good age and would be 2 or 3 years, Paulson would be 12 months.

[Unseen work]

I’m really hoping we sign the guy Paulson from Bournemouth.

Genuine question, but why?

Have you seen him play much? I’ve only seen a couple of clips but majority seem to be penalty saves.

If they’re unwilling to let Dennis go out on loan that to me hints at Paulson going out on loan.

[Stuart93]

Aberdeen making a move for Mitov.

Why are we so ****ing slow at doing anything!

Joke. We’re always the same

TBF we may have a GK lined up who knows. I doubt we are doing nothing.

[Donegal Hibby]

I know we have had some very good loan signings though every summer there seems to be a big rebuild job with 5 or 6 loan players going back to their parent clubs .

I'd be more for taking in Mitov on a contract for a couple of seasons who is a good age rather than a young guy for a season that could be recalled in January.

Nah, not seen him play, basing it on the people who have seen him play saying he’s excellent and the fact Bournemouth were willing to pay £2m for a player from New Zealand.

Not an exact science but those things make me think he’s probably really good.

Tbh I was assuming we would sign Dennis but apparently that’s not likely.

I’d have been happy with Mitov too.

While I’m getting stuff off my chest, my hot take for next season is I think if we let Wollacott just be a goalie and forget about playing out from the back in dangerous areas, I think he could actually be alright.

[Heisenberg]

Mitov does look a good goalie, disappointed we won’t be signing him.

[Stuart93]

It’s hibs mind.

Certainly don't want the goalkeeper to be a loan signing, need an experienced good goalkeeper who will be here two or three seasons.....

https://youtu.be/slEBba4E008?si=_tKw4nJK3oyCZVB4

Can certainly see why teams would be interested - looks brilliant for his age/experience. Some brilliant saves and reaction saves there and is extremely comfortable on the ball with two feet. Not sure Hibs fans would be ready for him dribbling past strikers 😅

Looks quite unorthodox and dramatic at times though and drops some shots/knocks them back into dangerous areas.

Would be interesting to see how he’d get on with us.

I just want someone like mitov however. Paulsen is only 21 and this is his first full season. But look at some of the goalies that have been on loan to teams in the SPFL before and done brilliant - Schmeichal, Krul, Danny Ward etc

[andrew70]

None of us had even heard of Mitov until the last 6 months.

Not saying I wouldn’t sign him just saying others who would want him over and above anyone else are a bit short sighted.

He was good for St Johnstone and his save percentage is high but then so was his shots faced.

He should have conceded a penalty at ER for a start. I am happy to wait to see who the keeper is that comes in to Hibernian than fawn over a goalie we never got.

Mitov will make mistakes at Aberdeen, our new keeper will make a mistake or two also, that’s the level we are playing at but I bet a lot on here will be straight on saying we should have signed Mitov instead.

If we were really interested you could bet your bottom dollar that Scott Burns would have mentioned it.

We’ll be working on moves in the background, the lack of leaks is boring but a better way to do business.

Surely no? That would leave us with no first team centre half 😂

[Unseen work]

Not convinced the management, club or fans would be that against it - especially if we got a fee.

Fwiw I actually think he’s improved massively and is actually pretty good for the majority of games. But it’s those big games where you really need to concentrate etc that he seems to let us down.

His mistakes are howlers when they happen.

I’d keep him as 3rd choice centre half, with us signing 2 starters. Not sure Bushiri would be up for that.

Sign 3 centre halves, one being Bevan on loan from Bournemouth and sell Rocky for a fee wouldn’t be that unthinkable

Aw aye, a lot of fans would be delighted.

I’m the same though, happily have him as a back up. Think he’s continually improved during his spell here and will continue to do so.

Wouldn’t grudge the player a move to the Championship though, but Stoke, tough gig. Same thing I thought about Nisbet moving to Milwall. Clubs are going nowhere but down in that league.

[Smartie]

It’s all very well being able to prolifically nutmeg yourself with your own headers up here but will he be able to do it on a wet Tuesday night in Stoke?

[southern hibby]

4 mill for Rocky and not a penny less. Unless we’re getting players for him. Then 2 mill and 2.5 mills worth of players and Chuck in their wages too and we’d be happy.

Fair deal I’d say. ( really wish I could keep a straight face when I was writing this)

Don't think anyone would be against it , if the fee is good for the club , like any of our other players too .

He has improved there's no doubt about that since we signed him after only playing around 50 first team games or so.

Totally agree about his concentration letting us down though have a certain sympathy for the guy as he was put in a new position ( LCB ) and then having to cover for both FB's regularly in games too ! .

I will be the first to offer Rocky a lift down free of charge to Stoke.

Personally think he is nowhere near as bad as some Hibs fans make out

[thebausburst]

Scott Burns article confirming Aberdeen are to trigger Mitov six figure release clause.

Why would Hibs not trigger the fee for Mitov when we have all this investment and need a keeper as a priority. Everyone always talks about the value in getting your (transfer) business done early but Hibs historically never seem to do this, is it intentional or are they getting knock backs galore (rumoured KB from Penrice for example) and going ‘down the list’ of ‘targets’. I hope fans are suitably realistic with the quality of signings as the excitement when the BK deal was done feels a long time ago now and is clearly not going to be the game changer we were all hoping it would be.

[Forza Fred]

Crusaders on loan. I'm 75% certain hibs confirmed it.

I've seen the article saying McLelland IS going there...but have searched for the HIbs confirmation and haven't yet been able to find it.

Very good shot stopper.

Wouldn't mind if he came to us on loan, but he's not the finished article yet.

[sauzee1989]

Supported hibs for 30 years and he would make the squad for the worst players we have had. Rocky and Murdock at centre back.

Even with the new investment Aberdeen have more money to spend than us, they've been getting multi million pounds donations each season for nearly ten years now - we've just had the one.

If we're both after a player they'll be picking Aberdeen

Then honestly, what’s the point in the investment? If it’s to keep us closer to Hearts and Aberdeen but still fifth then that’s pretty grim.

Due to him not being the only goalkeeper in world football? He had a good season but if we had signed him at the point St Johnston did his background wouldn’t have gone down well in here.

I imagine they are a pretty decent news source on all things Hibs :rolleyes::rolleyes:

[SHODAN]

I am kinda tired of getting all this investment only to be told Hearts and Aberdeen are still miles ahead of us, in perpetuity, forever.

It's really disheartening.

[04Sauzee]

The rumoured fee for Mitov is £300k according to St J fans

[we are hibs]

Would be delighted if we can move rocky on. Hopefully interest in Campbell too however that Frazer Fletcher guy is questionable when it comes to transfers. He said Stephen Robinson was close to being Hibs manager before Montgomery got it.

Hyperbolic nonsense man. We've been relegated twice but Rocky is in the starting line for worst ever CB's? Crazy talk

Happy either way. If he goes hopefully we get a fee and sell on though

Are we back in pre season on Monday? Would have been good to have one or two key players in place from the get go

Highly unlikely. They have just invested more money. If they want out there are several interested parties around.

[I'm Spartacus]

What we are going to have to be patient with is SDG will have to build a squad more extensivly than what has been put in before, that takes time, something no Hibs Manager has been given in the last 10 years.

There’s obviously lots of time for things to change but it’s beginning to look like there’s not a lot of cash about and we’re maybe not quite ready to pay for the quality we need. It still concerns me that extra money was brought in a couple of weeks ago. Did they need to get funds for some reason?

I hope there is a plan to recruit some quality players but until we see the evidence the jury is still out whether this will happen. The loans are fine for stop gaps and it’s just as well we had them in January. The problem is they all leave and the team is back to square one and we’re left with all the players who couldn’t get a game. We’re now looking like moving our better players on too, if Youan and Boyle goes we’ll need replacements for them too. It doesn’t leave a lot of quality in the squad. I’ve heard all the patience stuff before and it never really pans out.

It looks like that based on what? The fact Hibs haven’t kept you up to date with everything they are doing during the holiday period?

Let’s see where we are later in the window before panicking. This starts earlier every year…..

We’re back in pre-season training in 48 hours and haven’t added to a squad needing major work done to it.

We have one first team keeper and CB. Both many fans don’t rate.

Don’t think folk are asking too much that for once, we go into a pre-season having a full settled squad.

[The Modfather]

Hibs certainly aren’t giving confidence this latest review will be any more successful than all the previous ones. They could go a long way by simply engaging more, hearing more about all the changes, what we want to do. Actually hear from Gray. Insight into Marshall and his role etc etc. Essentially copy the comms we did in the early Dempster days.

I’m already resigned to feeling like we’ll repeat last season and, as others have mentioned, are in another Doig situation of waiting for transfer money coming in and we’ll end up having to try and talk ourselves into believing that the likes of Wollacot, Rocky, Miller, Campbell, Newell, Levitt, Vente etc are the answer after all and Gray the man to get more out of them.

[supermcginn]

Rocky would be nowhere near the worst centre backs we've had in the last 30 years, you seem to have forgotten Michael Nelson and David Stephens, Daniel Boateng for a start, there's plenty other huddies like Sean O'Hanlon that were way way worse than Rocky.

I think that answers the question perfectly plus the management team that has been put in place looks a very cheap option. It may turn out to be the best thing for the club but I’m sure most fans had imagined that with the involvement of the BK’s we would have gone for people a bit higher on the food chain. I may well be way off track and hope I am but I’m a wee bit concerned.

[BILLYHIBS]

Will be interesting to see what SDG makes of the likes of Rocky McKirdy and Jair and a few others

He is going to have to be ruthless

I for one do not actually mind Rocky apart from a few obvious errors that instantly spring to mind Shankland and his assist for Simon Murray but seemed to lose his concentration in the latter part of last season and his positioning was all over the place

I do find it strange that there hasn't been a media event with Gray or even any Hibs youtube channel interview with him outlining his thoughts and aspirations (unless I've missed it)

I might be overreacting or being a wet the bed merchant of doom but the wall of silence isn't doing the club any favours.
Some fans are getting increasingly restless, many more are just becoming more and more apathetic.

Yes, I don’t think anybody is suggesting the squad should be complete by now and because there’s a few concerns just now doesn’t mean the season is being written off.

I did think we would be a bit more pro-active and better prepared this summer though. If (just now it’s a big if), we go back to pre-season without even one new signing in the door, the perception to me is that we’ve not prepared for the summer transfer window particularly well.

Still plenty time for Hibs to prove me wrong but given recent transfer windows, I think it’s pretty normal to have a concern or two at this stage, especially when you’re seeing other clubs making moves for players that would have been ideal for us.

He’s been on holiday so guessing we’ll get something this week before pre season training starts on Friday.

I certainly expected us to have signed one or two already, still plenty time obviously but so much work needing done.

You’re right, he’s nowhere near as bad. He’s worse

[Mcbizz1998]

Will we end up with Will Dennis now that Mitov looks like he isn't coming? I would be happy enough with that tbh, looks a good keeper and would allow us to spend money elsewhere.

I swear Dennis wasn't even that great last season. Mitov the much better keeper in my opinion.

[EGL2000]

That was much more down to Killie actually being a good side and having a solid defence. I don't think mitov is great with th ball at his feet but apart from that looks quality.

[bingo70]

I swear Dennis wasn't even that great last season. Mitov the much better keeper in my opinion.

I was never that impressed by Dennis but I didn’t see him much.

That said, looking at the stats, the fact Killie fans and McInnes loved him and Rangers and Celtic were both linked with him in January suggests to me that maybe when I saw him he never had his best days.

[Heisenberg]

Mitov is basically the only reason St J didn’t get relegated.

[Mcbizz1998]

That was much more down to Killie actually being a good side and having a solid defence. I don't think mitov is great with th ball at his feet but apart from that looks quality.

Killie as a club and fans wanting him back is presumably due to his ability as a keeper and not because their defence is good?

[McGruber]

Not overly bothered about Mitov, decent keeper that is well overhyped and had a couple decent games v us that sways opinions. Highlight reel goalkeeper like Dabrowski with the saves but seems similar in terms of decision making, bit scatty and some clangers. Would take him or Dennis or a.n. other. Missing him to Aberdeen doesn't bother me at all, Ojo vibes

[blackpoolhibs]

I'd rather we had a keeper who was ours, and the same with the centre halves. In those positions that are key, i'd like stability and not be worried that they could be recalled in the next window.

In a perfect world i'd prefer the loans we get are the maverick type for forward positions with better quality than we could normally afford.

I suppose better players are better players, and of course the more the merrier, but i'd like stability especially down the spine and a solid base to start with and build on.

[04Sauzee]

The Stoke rumour seems to be centering around Eric Bocat now and not Bushiri

[Real Emerald]

It may well be the cheap option or it may well be the board know more about their qualities than we do. Or looking at it another way we could ***** a few hundred grand on a managerial team that may flop and meaning we spend more money paying them off, Gray et al maybe the lesser risk financially which in turn may give Gray some extra pounds towards his transfer kitty

All of this is very true and it’s maybe the plan, who knows?? Based on many previous windows I’m still concerned, I thought this was going to be a very exciting window bringing in the quality we’ve not previously had access to, maybe it will be but I’m starting to have my doubts. Based on nothing other than gut feeling.

[Since452]

[GloryGlory]

Highly unlikely. They have just invested more money. If they want out there are several interested parties around.

Agreed that several £million in debt could be converted to equity, too. Not something you do if you're not planning on sticking around much longer.

[Smartie]

I wouldn’t say any of the individual players even came close to being in my “worst ever” category but collectively, last season’s defence was the worst Hibs defence I’ve ever seen.

Duffy’s duffers were relegated due to the goalkeeper and midfield and Fenlon / Butcher’s no-hopers were relegated due to the shortage of goals. The Butcher defence wasn’t actually all that bad, in spite of carrying a fair few much-maligned characters.

[Alex Trager]

Yes, I don’t think anybody is suggesting the squad should be complete by now and because there’s a few concerns just now doesn’t mean the season is being written off.

I did think we would be a bit more pro-active and better prepared this summer though. If (just now it’s a big if), we go back to pre-season without even one new signing in the door, the perception to me is that we’ve not prepared for the summer transfer window particularly well.

Still plenty time for Hibs to prove me wrong but given recent transfer windows, I think it’s pretty normal to have a concern or two at this stage, especially when you’re seeing other clubs making moves for players that would have been ideal for us.

You can’t really expect us to have prepared for the summer window well, when MM came into post officially on 1 June, it took him god knows how long to get a manager appointed and then it took him god knows how long to get his support team sorted.

The manager has yet to spend a day at HTC, as manager, so I don’t think we could be prepared to be honest.

Meanwhile we let go of the DoF as well.

Hibs have no long terms planning in place, or continuity. Hopefully that all changes now.

I would temper expectations, frankly.

[Rumble de Thump]

I think we should sign some good players and win some football matches.

According to Scott Burns


I wonder who the Scottish club were



Max Stryjek is set to sign for Jagiellonia Bialystok. The ex-Livi keeper is set to sign a two year deal with a 12 month option. Stryjek also had Scottish Premiership interest after leaving Wycombe Wanderers but has decided to return to Poland.

There was an inevitability we'd end up here - AGAIN - when we dithered on punting Monty in the immediate aftermath of the Fir Park fiasco.

Aberdeen, having initially dithered by appointing Warnock, got their act together and it's fairly telling that it looks like they're going to beat us in the first transfer battle of the summer.

No danger. Had plenty worse than rocky in that time.

This anti Rocky stuff is just nuts. Another I suspect will be glad to leave especially actually doubling his money and playing at a much higher standard. He isn't perfect by any means, but he is a whole lot better than much of who is available around his value I suspect. Time will tell

Proof as always thank goodness we aren't allowed to choose players.

Hibs socials being unusually quiet this morning

[tonyrougier123]

Mitov is basically the only reason St J didn’t get relegated.

If I can weigh in on the Dennis mitov debate Dennis is far and away the better keeper. Mitovs distribution isn’t up to scratch although shot stopping is very good. I’ve seen Dennis a few times on tv and highlights and I think he is a well rounded young keeper with a bright future. I really hope we can get this guy in at hibs. Bournemouth have a few keepers,I’d imagine it’s a stick on one is coming.

[Jock O]

Aberdeen, having initially dithered by appointing Warnock, got their act together and it's fairly telling that it looks like they're going to beat us in the first transfer battle of the summer.

Is it not more likely for Mitov on the way up in his career European football is a massive attraction, given salaries are likely to be similar offers.

I am surprised he signed for anyone in Scotland at this stage, as I thought he may hold out for a better offer down South, where Championship activity seems to be just starting to pick up a pace. I never understand why people think Hibs, especially currently, are able to just pick their targets of any players on the rise early on, lots of these will be waiting to see what else is on offer down South surely before committing. One of the challenges with such a long window in my opinion.

I think that applies to most Scottish teams to be honest at moment, although Aberdeen and Hearts definitely I think can use Europe as a leverage, however never sure how big that draw is for players at top end of our market.

I also think its crazy to assume Hibs aren't busting a gut to sign players and get people on side, its in everyone's interest. I think again people completely overestimate our attraction and underestimate the small pool of players we can attract without competition, That's why recruitment needs a team working on it, which I seen on another thread people talking about us being top heavy in backroom staff. I still think we are very light there, which won't be helping. We have to hope that the guys that are in place can lean heavily on the Black Knights pool of talent resources.

Its a tough year for all involved I suspect, which is also why I think its important they get the decisions correct. Which again I think is very difficult in our market, there is always a risk.

Agree with every word of this.

It's not going to be an easy summer due to the size of the squad particularly with so many players that we would like to move on in an ideal world.

Next summer will be much easier with so many players out of contract.

There are aspects of this which I think are fair - I do think we (the fans) sometimes overplay our own hand and have a slightly deluded opinion regarding where a mid-table SPFL club sit in football's hierarchy.

That said, I think I'm giving this whole thing up if Hibs shouldn't be expected to be able to make a competitive offer to a player who played for the 2nd bottom of the league last season who has one season left on his contract. There's "delusional, out of our league nonsense" and then there's "missing out on realistic targets" - and I think we always need to ask questions of ourselves if we're missing out on realistic targets.

https://youtu.be/slEBba4E008?si=_tKw4nJK3oyCZVB4

Can certainly see why teams would be interested - looks brilliant for his age/experience. Some brilliant saves and reaction saves there and is extremely comfortable on the ball with two feet. Not sure Hibs fans would be ready for him dribbling past strikers 😅

Looks quite unorthodox and dramatic at times though and drops some shots/knocks them back into dangerous areas.

Would be interesting to see how he’d get on with us.

I just want someone like mitov however. Paulsen is only 21 and this is his first full season. But look at some of the goalies that have been on loan to teams in the SPFL before and done brilliant - Schmeichal, Krul, Danny Ward etc

Maybe a bit pedantic but Schmeichel was no great shakes at Falkirk imo. He was young though tbf.

[Lago]

What worries me a little is not the lack of Incomings back the lack of any significant outgoings apart from loans returning and a few young lads going out on loan. Squad is way too big.

[jakeshibs]

Is there any rumours of any players that we are interested in as this is getting worrying, as our squad is poor and se need to add quality.

The point I was trying to make on Mitov is I have no doubt if we have gone for him we have made an attractive offer, but we may not be what he wants at this time. Something we cannot control.

I think the talk of Mitov going to Aberdeen is abit disappointing .

I had hoped we'd sign a keeper on a permanent deal though knowing the way we been going we will probably take in a 19 , 20 or 21 year old keeper as our NO .1 from some English team ( like Paulsen ) on loan to help in his development.

No guarantees either way is the reality.

I think the point about quality later in the window has been taken well out of context. I think when anyone in football has said that it is to explain that sometimes things come up you don’t expect or players have a lot of options and will wait. You could just go in and get choices further down the list but sometimes waiting for the right player makes sense.

We’ve had players that fit all categories that have been good bad or indifferent.

I think, as a general rule, the earlier you get a player then the more likely it is you’ve got your first choice signing whereas the later it is the more likely you are scrambling to get a player to fit. Not always the case though and sometimes a tough deal will go to the wire.

New signings also do better after a good pre-season together.

Taking that into account, I think there probably is some correlation between getting your signings in early and success of the team and we’ve definitely seen that correlation at Hibs.

That said, if you sign bad players, it doesn’t really matter when you sign them they are still going to be bad players.

Surely it can't do any harm getting them in early letting them bed in, have a good pre season with the squad etc. players signed later in the window will also miss a number of competitive games for us, which is obviously a disadvantage.

The fact we’re so short of players in certain areas and crying out for better in other areas we need to get things moving. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if we were just tinkering around a solid team. As it stands we could barely field a first 11.

The only thing that concerns me about Aberdeen signing Mitov is that he’s clearly a perfect signing for us. Part of the reason we are where we are is we’ve had Ian’s failed experiments where there have been obvious choices.

Mitov is an obvious target. If we get better than him then I'll be delighted but recruitment over the last few years makes me think it's unlikely.

The last obvious target I can remember us going for was Kevin Nisbet. Simon Murray is an obvious target as well btw.

[Aldo]

Was that not the really young goalie? Who lost a goal v Brondby in the first minute or so?

Or did Bogdan make a mistake in Europe too?

Bogdan made the mistake against the Greek team Asteras Tripolis. We won the home leg 3-2 and drew away leg.

[Bayern Bru]

Was that not the really young goalie? Who lost a goal v Brondby in the first minute or so?

Bogdan had at least one if not two bad ones against Asteras in the home leg, before having a stormer in Greece

[Unseen work]

The fact we’re so short of players in certain areas and crying out for better in other areas we need to get things moving. It wouldn’t be quite so bad if we were just tinkering around a solid team. As it stands we could barely field a first 11.

See as much as I agree about the starting 11, I think when you look at the below for example

……………..Wollacott…..

Cadden….Rocky….Harbottle….Obita…

……………NMW…….Newell…

Boyle………..Campbell…….Youan…..

……..…………..Vente….

It only takes a couple of signings and a much improved game plan/tactics, especially defensively to kick us on massively imo.

Not including Miller, Levitt, JDH etc who have their qualities even if I’d move a couple on. Amos if he can keep fit will be a big player too imo.

Might be obvious but maybe not what the manager wants or needs.

Think I’d agree about Murray and for his energy etc alone.

We can only but hope that IG leaves the playing side to MM and SDG

Yeah that would be a poor publicity decision.
New signing detracts from the kit launch which is crucial in our commercial calendar.
Hence you never see new signings and kit launches at the same time.

I hope you are right but the players did a photo shoot wit the new kit weeks ago. I doubt they will re-do all that just to surprise us with some new players wearing it.

TBH that’s an absolute necessity, the midfield is badly needing an upgrade too and has done for a good few seasons now.. Add in losing Youan and Boyle if they are going would make it a scary task, especially for a novice management team. Maybe a complete reset would be good but it’s major surgery.

Issue is we’ve already got about 15 midfielders on the books and very few of them have proven they are good enough for Hibs. Got to shift a lot of them out the door

We really do but getting quality in is crucial. I’m hoping getting quality in doesn’t depend on moving players out or we’ll be waiting a very long time. I have a feeling that is the deal though, unfortunately.

We might have someone lined up but we really should have went for Mitov. Annoying to see our competitors (Aberdeen and Hearts) getting players in early and showing intent. Hopefully a few announced soon cos we need about 7 players minimum.

[ekhibee]

I'm a bit confused with the management situation at the moment, is McKay the one that's identifying/picking players to sign and then it's up to Gray to get on with it, or does he need to wait till Gray is back from his holidays for his approval? Maybe Gray's back, I dunno.

For me it's not really missing out on Mitov I'm bothered about. Have to think its likely we'll get one of the Bournemouth keepers. Fine with that. It's the lack of any incoming activity whatsoever. We're desperate for players and fans are desperate for some good news. Throw us a ****ing bone here, Hibs

Yep. Totally agree. Hearts have already got 4 in, all decent SPFL level players. Aberdeen have 3 in. Anything at all, Hibs. I’ll probably get a response saying there’s no rush. Why can’t Hibs identify players and bring them in like Aberdeen and Hearts have??

Not kicked a ball since last year if this is correct

Robertson left Portsmouth at the end of the 2022–23 season and then signed for Israeli club MS Ashdod. He left the country in October 2023, along with the club's other foreign players, following the start of the Israel–Hamas war.[11]

[GreenPJ]

Is it possible that one of MacKay's first acts was to shut down any leaks from the club about prospective hires? I think that the common consensus is that the young lad from Bournemouth (CH) is coming to us (loan) and you would have thought that if the club weren't actively working away at targets they would have been keen to communicate this to the fan base to help appease the noise of lack of activity/ambition?

There was commentary in one of the papers that Celtic have made signings but haven't announced them yet - am guessing due to said players being at the Euro's/on holiday etc - could we have already one or two done but don't want to announce until they are around for the obligatory photo op?

Robertson….probably very average defender in this league. A Dundee or Kilmarnock signing that would look solid in a good structure.

Him or Hanlon? Probably the latter for me

People voice their concerns most years during this window, and 9 times out of 10 they have been right, we've signed players at the last moment, we've had no clear plan or strategy in those signing, and we've struggled because of that.

You have said so much yourself in the past.

We've also signed players early and that's not worked out either. We have a different set up with Mackay at the helm, let's just wait and see what's happening, I'm not sure we'll have millions to spend but more than usual, I'm happy if they're taking their time to get it right.

Could argue Kent’s career is on an upward trajectory and 2 years younger.
Not sure Robertson was a success at Aberdeen before playing at lower level in England. If this is the type of player we’re realistically after I’d rather keep Hanlon tbh. Hopefully just a rumour 🤞
