January ins and outs

[Ribs1875]

6 difficult games to play between now and January. It is safe to say we desperately need quality and too offload dead wood.

Players I think the club should have a look at are:
Dabrowski (shown to be a steady number 1 at Raith)
Oli Shaw (7 goals in 13 games, for a mid table hammilton)
Lyall Cameron (Dundee, good form and improves each week)
Middleton (out of contract at end of season, worth a punt)
Mayo (Kilmarnock, solid centre half, would cost a pretty penny, but would be the answer to a lot of defensive issues we have)

We also need 2 new fullback and a holding midfielders.

Who else would yous like to see?

I know our goalkeeping situation is beyond dire but bringing Dabrowski is a wild shout.

As for Shaw, I think you're at it. He's found his level in League One

[Hibernian Verse]

If we're offloading deadwood it's probably better to not replace it with deadwood.

[Centre Hawf]

The Dabrowski myth grows every week. Should we have gotten rid of him? Probably not when you look at who we've signed since. Would have been a great number 2 and probably would have slotted into the starting squad in the current circumstances for sure. But if he was our number 1 going into this season it would still not be the standard we're looking for and we'd be demanding we replace him going into next season.

I love the guy and hope he does really well for himself but he was never going to be a Hibs number 1 and is probably playing at the level he should be for now.

Olii Shaw

Got to be a wind up re Shaw anyway.

[eastmainsmsh]

I like Nesbitt that plays for Falkirk there is a few cracking players there

[Donegal Hibby]

Watched this guy awhile back in this game and was impressed by him , only 21 and normally comes on as a sub . He came on today and scored again . Think he has 8 or 9 goals in something like 16 appearances…..

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

I’d be making moves for three players:

Lyall Cameron (Dundee)
Will Ferry (United)
Toyosi Olusanya (St Mirren)

All three players manageable acquisitions and stand outs in our league that could make a step up.

I’d maybe have a sniff around O’Hara at St Mirren as well.

The only priority is a goalkeeper...our top two simply aren't good enough.

[04Sauzee]

Had a little look at the FC lorient squad to see if there was anyone who wasn't getting much game time who could possibly be loaned to Hibs. No idea why this made me laugh but looking at the players available they had a player according to transfermrkt called...
C.Cheesmaker which I thought was a brilliant name.

Hopefully they cancel Bursik' loan deal in January. Boruc or Johnson would surely be a better option.

Shaw and Dabrowski?. Your either on the wind up or must have been in a coma last few years? We released both because we deemed them not good enough. Shaw I agreed with because he wasn't physical enough for this league. Dabrowski was a massive error in my opinion. Especially considering the mess we are now in re keepers.

Glen Middleton- Not for me, don't see where he fits in to our midfield and his 1st spell for us was mediocre at best. Better options out there.

Lyall Cameron massive yes. Would instantly upgrade our midfield. Slotting in nicely beside Hoilett

Stephen Dobbie, Jason Scotland, Paul Hartley, Rob Jones, Andrew Robertson were all released and dropped divisions. They all improved and developed. Would John McGinn be the player he is today had he not dropped down a league to us?

Fantastic. Would you take back Scott Martin as well?

[Greenbeard]

If we want to progress can we please please please stop signing unproven players who "have potential". All our available eggs from the January recruitment fund should be going into forking out for a proven goalkeeper and a proven DM who can run the show. If it means we have to pay them more than our current higher earners then so be it and if any of said players take the peeve at that then cheerio.

[LunasBoots]

January will be a window we wont be signing starters for other clubs, difficult window, probaly get a couple loans until the summer.

[Unseen work]

Probably won’t be a popular opinion as he’s not done it for a while, but I think he’s one that’s proven himself at this level and is worth a punt.

I’d be tempted to give Shankland a deal and see how he gets on

[Ribs1875]

I have to admit, I've not much hope in our recruitment team when it comes to spending money in the transfer markets.

Dylan tait (six figure sum), released at the end of contract.
Dan Mckay £232k released at end of the contract.
Kyle McGennis £450k released at the end of contract.
Harry McKirdy £349k not good enough and inevitable end of contract release.
Dylan Vente £900k, perhaps still a chance of redemption or recoup/profit on the money spent.
Dylan levit £350k similar to Vente.

Transfermarkt, I appreciate its not fully accurate. It's a ball park example, then again if you take signing fees, agent fees and wages into account it's even more money wasted, which is disappointing.

It's easy to be critical in hindsight but before we'd seen them play for Hibs?

Dylan tait (six figure sum) - Highly rated young player that many were apparently watching. As you said about other players in the past, dropped down divisions and put in performances to earn a move.
Dan Mckay £232k - Highly rated fast winger, on paper exactly what we were looking for.
Kyle McGennis - Should have been the next John Mcginn. Always a gamble with prev injury but had he been able to keep fir would have been a top signing and was exactly what our midfield has been lacking for many seasons.
Harry McKirdy - Had a good season with Swindon, but probably overhyped by our manager at the time. Heart condition means we'll never know what could have been.
Dylan Vente £900k - Form suggested he would be a top signing. We didn't play to his strengths though and went with the classic Hibs square peg/round hole approach.
Dylan levit - As you say, similar to Vente.

Aye but none were released by us 1st were they

Ok then 😆

… thats clear as day 🌬️ ⬆️

[Ribs1875]

Does not matter who they were released by! They are a handful examples of players who lost their way a bit and faced up to the reality of dropping down a level and made them stronger when they got the chance. It all comes down to management and coaching.

Remember when we had Bobby Williamson in charge, some players were hopeless under him. Then when Mowbray came to us, the all of a sudden players like Orman, Glass, Smith and O'Connor became good for us.

My only worry is we wait too long in January to offer a couple mill, and he’s snapped up on a pre-contract.

If Hearts or Aberdeen were looking for a goalie, would they be considering Dabrowski? I think there is zero chance they would, so why should we?
