See Jebbison is getting slaughtered online for his performances. ‘Worst striker ever to play for the club’

Just saw that, some miss he had yesterday 😬

[ElginHibbie]

Rudi signs a new 4 year deal

[K-Zazu]

Hearts signing a Belgian striker.

[He's here!]

We're more than interested and I fully expect Clark to sign for us.

Be a good move for us and the player.

If that's the case then it causes another headache for Hearts. Do they drop Gordon (who looks like time is catching up with him) and play a guy who's going to Hibs?

[Donegal Hibby]

Hearts signing a Belgian striker.

Wouldn’t be overly excited about him in fairness..

A couple of them are saying they are getting McGrath on a pre-contract which I highly doubt they will.

I got a fright at first glance, until I noticed his 77 apps for Eindhoven are not for the PSV variant :)

[PHeffernan]

Hearts signing a Belgian striker.

He's a winger, nothing exciting in his stats. Looks a good athlete. Fair to say he ain't no Maolida in the quality stakes.
Signed to a decent club but so is the, so far, average Kwon.
Kabangu is 26 and played a few seasons in the Netherlands before going back to Belgium.
A goal every 4 games type of guy.
Has only played 119 minutes of league football this season so could take a month to get up to speed.

If they bring him in on loan i expect them to try hard to shift Forrest and McKay in January. Both have 5 months left on their contracts but I expect the latter is on a big wage so will be tough to shift. So sad too bad.

[PHeffernan]

Guess what their supporters would do?

Correct
Cut their nose off to spite their face.
Gotta love the lunatic fringe.

If one of our players signed a pre-contract at Hearts would we be happy to see him get game time until the end of the season? If it was clear he was giving us his all then most would probably live with it, but I'm not sure everyone would.

I'm just surprised Hearts have created this problem for themselves. Unless they have a nailed-on new first-team keeper coming next month.

Re Gordon, he's been a good shot stopper but given his height and reach his all-round game has never fully convinced me. A couple of Sunderland season ticket holders I used to work with reckoned the fee they paid for him was a joke.

See above.

Yeah, Hearts completely and unfairly pissed off Clark to give Gordon his lap of honour season. Clark may well have been watching the Hibs goalkeeper situation fall into his hands for some time and hatched a plan to get his own back, getting more and more excited as Gordon malfunctioned and January approached.

Re Gordon, he's been a good shot stopper but given his height and reach his all-round game has never fully convinced me. A couple of Sunderland season ticket holders I used to work with reckoned the fee they paid for him was a joke.

Yeah, Gordons strength has always been quick reactions and great positioning and his weaknesses have always been not coming off his line for crosses and in the kicking era his poor distribution.

Rowles has a long contract but can’t see who would pay anywhere near that for him.

Sold hickey for what, 1.25m a few seasons ago, and some buddy of a striker who’s name I can’t remember for about 1m a few more seasons back, but I can’t think of any others (if those figures are to be believed and deemed a decent enough fee)

['mon the beers]

Amos has posted on his LinkedIn confirming he is hopeful of a move in January along with a highlight reel. He’s hardly played so not a big loss at all.

I think Youan will be away in January and I wouldn’t be surprised if he was just left out of yesterday’s game to avoid injury. I might be wrong, but he was moving well enough at the end of the game yesterday and his improved attitude in the past 3/4 games could point towards a potential move away.

Forgot about Hickey actually. They just never seem to make any money from players. Not complaining though!

[04Sauzee]

Doubt he will be farmed out to Hibs but I wonder what the plans are for the new Bournemouth signing

Let’s not forget Celtic took a fair chunk of that fee and then the best bit of it all. Budge agreed a £100k sell on fee for him. Fast forward a season or so and he went for £20 million to Brentford. Budge and Co got 100k. Priceless

[McD]

The kicker with hickey is that they had a sell on fee, which was something like a fixed 10 percent of their sale price, not the future sale value, so 125k, even though he went to Brentford for 20 million :greengrin

I’ve posted about him a couple of times but it’s been dismissed for the most part as people haven’t thought he’s what we need

Imo he’s a certainty to be sent on loan to us as it would be ideal for the player and will be is getting a player who would previously be out of reach for us. Win/win all round I think.

Not that one. He's at Queen of the South.

The English Cochrane, Alex, they brought in from Brighton on an undisclosed after he was on loan at Hearts for a season. They got 2 seasons out of him then sold him to Birmingham last summer for a million quid. Has started every week until recently, has probably had an injury.

Osman Sow went for around 1m I think

[He's here!]

Craig Gordon to Sunderland for £9m in 2007

Crazy money. Mentioned it earlier in the thread. Keane bemused a lot of Sunderland fans with that and Gordon never set the heather alight. IIRC his confidence ended up shot and he was out the game for a couple of years despite an injury having cleared up. Think he worked his way back via Dumbarton before Celtic handed him a lifeline (an easier gig than some might think as you're only really tested a few times a season).

[Hibee87]

Was it not that big lad, ikpeachta or something?

[04Sauzee]

SPFL side St. Mirren have matched Gateshead’s £65,000 asking price for striker Owen Oseni and are keen to hold personal talks as soon as possible.

League One side Mansfield are also in the race, as per journalist Alan Nixon.

[CapitalGreen]

Sky Sports just did a few minutes on MNF about Bournemouth and Carragher highlighed 20 year old Ben Winterburn who made his debut for them yesterday and helped contribute to their equaliser. Maybe one they’ll be looking to send out on loan for experience.

Not sure how much Wycombe paid for him although Wycombe sold him to Middlesbrough for close on 1m

and now he is at St Johnstone where he has yet to play a single game after injuring his knee AT HOME back in June. He required a second op after an infection ruined the work of the first op. Poor guy will finally be playing again next month after more than 7 months out!

I’d be disappointed if after the opportunity of a big clear out we have still kept 5 of this and last seasons starters in Boyle, Miller, Cadden, Triantis & Rocky.

I don't he doesn't care, it's like with someone like Newall for us. When results weren't good he was a ***** captain, didn't care enough etc.

Shankland is a good striker, he's shown it time and time again. He's playing in an awful team that create **** all and his confidence is low.

I think with the chances we created on Sunday someone like Shankland scores 2 or 3 tap ins with the crosses we put in to the box.

Fitness is another one of these things that gets thrown at players when results are poor. These guys are athletes but they also thrive on confidence which is always in short supply in teams that are having poor results.

Shankland looks unfit, my Brother in Laws are jambos and they think he is way off his peak fitness and struggles to run, he as you say is an athlete, if so why the **** is he so out of shape, attitude ?

[Smartie]

Shankland looks unfit, my Brother in Laws are jambos and they think he is way off his peak fitness and struggles to run, he as you say is an athlete, if so why the **** is he so out of shape, attitude ?

Was he not also a personal trainer when he went part time at Ayr? I’m sure that was used as an explanation behind his improvement in fitness and form as he earned a move back to a higher level and full time football.

I wonder if he’s one of those guys who is naturally a bit chunky, and minor changes from an absolutely optimal schedule sees him noticeably (for an athlete, anyway) put on a bit of beef?

Even with a bit of extra weight on him I think he’s a good player and the least of their problems. They just need to find a way to get the ball to him in decent positions.

I sincerely hope he continues his current form at Hearts, while continuing to fleece them, win win

I don't know, I don't think he is unfit. Maybe not at his peak but I don't see enough of him to judge. I've just googled pictures of Shankland and he looked a bit trimmer in his younger days but weren't we all? :greengrin

Who knows, I think it's a lack of confidence overall that explains why hes being pilloried by the Hearts fans. Look at the chance he had against us in the final minutes of the derby, a confident Shankland from last season at least hits the target and probably scores.

Fitness etc is being used as another stick to beat him with.

Nisbet is another with motivation problems, very unfit in pre season with a pic doing the rounds of his spare tyre, Shankland was the same, even Boyce who came on in 2nd half had a spare tyre. I don't think I've seen really good pros in poor shape like that.

He’s always looked quite heavy imo

Last season he was full of confidence and really sharp in the box. I think he only thing that’s changed is confidence and attitudeNah he has looked leaner than now, I agree confidence can be an issue but in the times Ive seen him this season he has looked leggy and struggled to keep up with play at times and I think that has played a part in him not scoring goals. I dont know hiw he does on the training pitches but my relatives see him most weeks and think he is way off it fitness wise and has lost his sharpness.

[hulk]

I’d be disappointed if after the opportunity of a big clear out we have still kept 5 of this and last seasons starters in Boyle, Miller, Cadden, Triantis & Rocky. Plus Newell’s extension. 6 first team players we had the opportunity to move on but decided to keep them all instead. Hopefully we are ruthless in the summer.

Those 5 have been a huge factor in our recent revival. If you had posted this about 2 months ago I would have agreed. Miller was outstanding in the back 3 against Killie and Boyle whilst not his old self is definitely offering something again. Triantis at 21 is starting to look a very good player in CM. We need to build a squad of decent players who can come in and do a job when needed. Out of that list Chris Cadden is the one that struggles especially when up against tricky wingers - Fraser Murray had the beating of him so many times on Sunday but still worthy of a place in squad but think we can do better in starting 11.

[Jim44]

I didn’t see it personally but my son said he’d read on FB that Youan was definitely going in the window, but, apparently, it was in the same post about Zander Clark heading to ER, so could be nonsense.

There is definitely a difference in size, or at least there was in the Derby at ER

In the pub before the game I heard some amount of chat and rumours. Please take these with a massive pinch of salt:

Kenneh, Amos & McKirdry are going/gone
Kucharevich loan cancelled and Vente recalled
Trying to get Z.Clark now
Asked to speak to Shankland
Levitt plus cash for a midfielder who's name I missed
Gray wants Triantis on a permanent deal
C.Cadden & Bushiri offered new deals
Boyle and Miller 1 year options taken up

Was it to speak to Shankland about anything in particular? Or just for a chance to call him a fud?

The recent revival has been over the course of 7 games. They’ve arguably also been a factor in numerous seasons of underachieving.

I’ve argued plenty on here that the squad is nowhere near as bad as some make it out to be and that Gray had us woefully underperforming. I still believe that. I don’t think it’s an exceptional squad though and I do think those players have had their chance and nobody who is out of contract should be considered for a new one, at least not at this stage. If they have an exceptional rest of the season then by all means, look at renewing (or in the case of Triantis, signing) but not off the back of 7 games. If they end up moving on, so be it, over the piece all 5 of them have been poor to average for Hibs imo.

Both haven’t been as good as I’d have hoped.

But get rid of

Levitt
Moriah Welsh
Amos
Kenneh
JDH
McKirdy

Before those 2. Both are either starting or our first sub that comes on in that position.

We need a new striker to compete with Myk and Gayle imo, Bowie is still a while away and even longer before match fit. We’re too light in the forward areas especially with Boyle/Youan potentially leaving, neither are out our strikers either

Centre mid is he happy with a number 10/creative type coming in and then keeping Campbell, Newell, Triantis and Kwon. Ideally we’d get more quality in there but I’d prioritise other positions first

If we continue with 352 I’d be looking for a right wing back too

100% agree. Which is weird because he’s 100mph and really good at getting in peoples faces and getting the ball back which is what I thought Gray would like

He’s never going to dictate a game etc, but thought he’d be used far more than he is

I didn’t see him starting though I am surprised he hasn’t been played more coming on as a sub with the energy he has. I thought like yourself he would have been a player Gray would have liked too . Certainly not a bad player IMO .

Really no clue why anyone would want Shankland at Hibs - if I remember correctly it was his attitude that got him launched by Aberdeen way back and he doesn't look like he's trying a leg this season from the little I have seen of him. Sevco bound IMHO as a cheaper replacement for the higher earners that Sevco need to push out the door.

Shankland joined and left Aberdeen eight years ago, at 20 years old. It was the same attitude that resurrected his career and got him Scotland caps. I doubt he'll end up at the Huns, nor will he ever be a Hibee.

Hearts are a poor side, no surprise that he is struggling, but it's not for lack of effort. I struggle to conceive what that even looks like at pro level, a tired cliche used by fans, but rarely a reality on the field.

Weight or fitness or mindset speculation aside, Shankland has undoubtedly lost the sharpness that got him capped. His cruise liner shipped anchor and sailed away last season leaving him as a passenger stranded on a scabby run-down dock. I very much doubt HMS Ipox will have him on board so I suspect he'll pick up some leaden tug boat down south to get away.

I'll be really surprised if he isn't at Sevco soon, they are having to cut costs big time and he'll be a cheaper option than the players they are trying to offload.

However if, for example, we keep both Cadden & Miller we’re unlikely to sign another right back/wingback. So unless Megwa comes in and takes their place we’ve still got either Miller or Cadden as first choice because we kept them both when we could have moved them on.

Keeping those 6 previously mention still gives us a contracted squad size of 23 as a starting point.

GK - Smith, Johnson

Defence - Miller, Cadden, Megwa, O’hora, Ekpiteta, Rocky, Iredale, Obita

Midfield - Triantis (based on him hypothetically returning), Newell, Campbell, Cadden, Rudi, NMW, Campbell, Tavares, Levitt

CF - Vente, Boyle, Bowie, Youan

I know the 23 above might not be here come the summer e.g. Youan & Levit, and the likes of Johnson, Megwa & Rudi might go on loan. However if we keep the 6 players being talked about as rumoured to be given extensions I don’t see it anymore as an opportunity for a big squad overhaul, particularly not to the extent Hibs have talked up.

Don't really have the evidence to back it up but I'd like us to keep Levitt. Think he can open up defences in a way nobody else can (no not our own). Like to see him in a well functioning side.

I wouldn't ever take Shankland at hibs. He is way too deeply affiliated to them and some of his celebrations at ER suggest he hates us. He has ability, there is no question about that. He also has a terrible attitude both on and off the pitch. He's ran his contract down with the hope rangers will come in for him, which I don't see happening now given the way he conducted himself as a club captain.

Out of interest, how many of the chances that he's had came in a midfield 3? Personally think he'd be good in a 3 and poor in a 2. Haven't looked at it but sure most of his games with us were in a 2. His last appearance - coming on for the second half when we were chasing the game, he was the best player on the park.
He's been poor no doubt but certainly has ability - more so than some others ahead of him, others that have also had more chances
All moot though, hid card is clearly marked

Rangers and Hearts fans have been talking about their clubs being interested in Cameron so awbody kens about his abilities.

Worth noting The Rangers have been ordered to pay Aberdeen 600k compensation for Barron.
Would Cameron compensation be similar and if so is he worth it?

Unless someone is desperate for him and are willing to pay for it Cameron will remain at Dundee until the summer and someone will pay the training compensation. Teams down south will be aware of him as well and compensation to Dundee would be lower because he would be moving across the border.

What kind of player is Cameron? Is he an attacking midfielder? Does seem to score goals. Or is he a combative midfield player. I'd love a player who pops up in the box like Campbell and who could pick a pass like Allan and isn't lightweight in the tackle. Not asking for much eh 😅😅

Yeah, Motherwell probably need to sell him in this window to get the best return as Hibs need to do with Youan.

Unfortunately, Miller sustained an injury against Rangers and is going to see a specialist which sounds ominous.
Bad timing!

Attacking. He has 4 goals and 4 assists in the league this season, 1 every 202 mins. He’s only just turned 21 so plenty development in him. Probably not as good an all round player as Luke McCowan at the moment but has the potential to be better.

I didn’t realise how good Kimpiokas numbers were before their new manager took over.

I’m not usually one for harking after ex players but he’s really improved since leaving us.

From that list other than Cameron and Armstrong like the look of Josh Mulligan at Dundee (if it is the same player I remember from our last trip to Dundee - a handful on the wing and 21?). I think Olasanya from Saints could also be potentially a good option though not sure if my view is a bit skewed because I've seen him play well and score v Hearts.

[bingo70]

In Lennon Miller? Good young player but a million miles off Liverpool's level IMO.

Lennon Miller is one I just have to accept I must be wrong about.

Whenever I see Motherwell play, I don’t really notice him being brilliant. Looking at how highly rated he is by other clubs, his team mates, the media and the money Motherwell are after I must just be looking the other way when he does the good stuff. 😂

[bingo70]

Young Murray caused a lot of problems down our right and was seemingly very good the previous game, he always needed to fill out as was a bit lightweight for this level. I'd have no issue bringing him back.

Did he cause us problems? I can’t remember them having any chances?

He was alright against Hearts but nothing sensational, apparently very good against Aberdeen though.

[JimBHibees]

Huge potential and not outwith the realms of possibility he could develop to that level. Similar to guys like Curtis Jones and Harvey Elliott have

He was the only attacker that looked dangerous and a lot of their play was down his side.

[we are hibs]

Lennon Miller has never really stood out to me when playing Hibs either but I watched him earlier this season when Motherwell played Celtic and he was outstanding

Even mcinness doesn’t use him all the time, agree he had a lot of ball on his side but he done nothing with it really, if that was Martin Boyle everybody would be moaning about how much of the ball he had and did nothing.

And kimpioka? Boy sent off against us? Nah I’ll pass on both.

We’ve already got players more capable than those two by a long long way.

[Jones28]

Sam Dalby at Dundee utd, 9 goals in 19 appearances. . Just reading he is out of contract at Wrexham in the summer and there is no talk of him renewing his contract there. He's a 6'3 No 9. His numbers look good at Utd, actually have no recollection of seeing him play mind 😅

Can’t believe I didn’t include him as well, what a dumbass. But yeah, should be all over that.

I probably don't pay enough attention. Just when I do see him play v Hibs or catching a game on tv he's not stood out in anything he's done. I'm sure he is a very good player but also benefitting from being the media darling. Has he had a better break through impact at Motherwell than James Scott or Jack Hastie - not for me

[04Sauzee]

St Mirren sign forward Owen Oseni from Gateshead FC on a three-and-a-half-year deal.

[Ribs1875]

I see we are linked up with Cameron Dawson from Rotherham. Being honest, I don't see the logic. I am confident Jordan Smith is steady enough to see out the season as our number 1. There is no point to fix something which doesn't need fixed. Send Bursic back, Boruc steps up to number 2 and sign a 3rd goalkeeper. Review situation in the summer.

[Since90+2]

I don't think he'd even get in the match day squad, let alone any game time.

Liverpool are probably the best team in the world at the moment, you need to be the best of the best to play with them.

I do think Miller is a good young player and can have a very good career but I'd be amazed if Liverpool were looking at him. Just my opinion.

Apparently we don't have a break clause in Bursic contract, the only way he leaves is if we find him another loan

They would probably look to loan him out

Lend him to Hertz.

[Paul1642]

Regardless, if he’s not going to play for us again, which is currently looking to be the case, then the loan is worthless to Club Brugge, Bursik and Hibs, so a mutual termination shouldn’t be hard to agree upon.

[Since452]

Jamie McCart off to Hearts. Would be absolutely delighted with that

[04Sauzee]

Bayer Leverkusen are interested in Celtic centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers.

I thought his dad was a Rangers fan? Doesn't mean he couldn't support Celtic right enough but would be unusual.

[easty]

Lennon Miller is quality. The laddie played 30+ games last season for Motherwell and looked like a first team ready player, he only turned 18 about 4 months ago!

He looks even better this season, I dunno where he’ll end up, but he should do well in the game.

That should surely be a job for his agent, not for us.

It’s no doing him any favours being here and not playing. Best for all parties that he moves on.

This interest pre-dates Smith being given the gloves and his excellent form, so it may be that we have parked this interest now (or we could still want Dawson with a view to having a competitiom between them).

[04Sauzee]

The question has been asked but no reply.

Edit... He's now confirmed it's likely to be outs.

[04Sauzee]

According to a SSN reporters

Aberdeen are pursuing a deal for Grasshoppers CB/DM Kristers Tobers.

The Latvia captain’s contract expires at the end of the season, but the Swiss side can trigger a one-year extension.

It’s understood Grasshoppers are looking for a fee in the region of £750k

[Bobby's Cinema]

I think so, Malky was clear in the summer window that we've tried to move guys on but can't force them out. So that will still be the case.

[EGL2000]

Amos definitely looks like he's trying to force a move which is a good start.

Hopefully at least four out the door asap!

Then bring in some quality to add to the squad.

That would effectively cost them money they could use elsewhere assuming we are paying a decent chunk of his wages. I though most loan deals now carry cost penalties to allow to break them. There would be little in it for Brugge to just terminate unless they plan to play him, which seems unlikely.

Whilst this is true, he is in contract at Brugge for another 2.5 years. If they want him off their books then he needs to be in the shop window which he no longer is. The best thing for everyone would be him getting a new loan deal at a different club.

He can sit on our bench until summer but then what?

[Cabbage-Patch]

Wages would likely be an issue but Greg Taylor now available on a pre-contract contract. Celtic clearly not interested in renewing his contract.

If we bring in Clark and/or Dawson he'll be sitting in the stand until summer.

[Gmack7]

And getting paid by us instead of sitting in a brugge stand getting paid by them, let's hope there are no clauses stopping us cancelling the loan

Is it impossible for you to just wish him well? It was Hibs that offered him a contract, hardly his fault he accepted it.

Kenneh away to Ross County on loan

Did he not get a lot of game time there the last time he was on loan

[JohnM1875]

Did he not get a lot of game time there the last time he was on loan

He did. Based on absolutely nothing I think he’ll do well there and get a move to a bigger club.

[Dr What If?]

Kenneh away to Ross County on loan
Three for the price of one that transfer......player will get much needed game time, we save a bit on the wage bill and we've just strengthened Hearts main competition for the relegation play-off :agree:

[Billy Whizz]

Kenneh away to County. One down!

Presume that’s him away for good, as he’s OOC at the end of the season

[Irish_Steve]

Yeah, looks like he's off - can't remember much of him playing for us which suggests he wasn't awful nor was he setting the heather alight

Josh ‘Conner away

Best for both parties… good luck to him at Ross County though.

They have also signed the Belgium winger Elton Kabangu who was rumoured earlier in the week. Not worried about that one on the face of it.

They’ll probably have a song for him by next week

He looks rapid though and pace is something they definitely lack. Looks like he's struggled for game time in Belgium. Obviously hole he's abysmal.

[Iain G]

Oh my god we've loaned Kenneh! You b*****s 😁

[JohnM1875]

Have to think we wont be getting anyone from Bournemouth then? Surely we’d have that all lined up and ready to go today if it was happening. Earlier the better.

Might be getting players from them to replace players once they move on.

Might also be getting players from Bournemouth who they haven’t signed yet.

[Allant1981]

Good to see fringe players leaving, hopefully a few more to go and free up some wages for a couple of really good additions, squad just has to many players who are never going to be good enough

Not sure about that. Just a few weeks ago none of them looked good enough. It's a confidence game.

No chance, rated at £15m

Lol, only by Hearts I would think.

Aye maybe. Though if we’re getting players from Bournemouth you’d hope they'd be coming in as starters. Not to replace fringe players that leave.

I'm absolutely fine not getting anyone from Bournemouth though. Don't really care where they come from, as long as they make the starting XI stronger.

[Allant1981]

Not sure about that. Just a few weeks ago none of them looked good enough. It's a confidence game.

Some have shown over a good period of time they aren't good enough, mckirdy for example is no where near good enough and hopefully moves on

[King Cosell]

Ayr Utd would be a good fit for McKirdy.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Being told Ethan Laidlaw going out on loan to Cheltenham Town - remember him?
