Yeah, a massive joke. Aiming to sign the best players of other teams in the league. Embarrassing transfer policy, we'll never get good players doing that. Gogic, McGinn etc.Quote:

The summer signing window is a roller coaster for most fans. Now I just wait to see we have sold and signed. The speculation is not good for your health.Quote:

Not strange. I am sure a lot of other Hibs fans will be concerned at the tunnel vision from Jack Ross and the scouting team. I think it is becoming just a bit silly regarding signing St Mirren players. We might even end up in their league position?Quote:

I'm sure we look at other players at other Scottish clubs but they just don't like to talk about us as much as Jim Goodwin does.Quote:

Well if finishing 3rd is all we aspire to be then we may as well pack up and go home because we achieved that. I want Hibs to win domestic trophies, challenge the old firm and push further on in Europe. With our size of club there are good players out there that can improve us. It feels like we are going down the Cregg and Van Zanten routes of recruitment.Quote:

Like Murphy from Rangers or Macey from Arsenal? Yep, we never make that type of signing, which is why those players aren't Hibs players now...Quote:

A bit confused as to why that then prompted your initial response but fair enough.
No, we're going down the McGinn and McGinn route.Quote:

Try to wait before you've watched a footballer before judging them.
The hyperbole on here sometimes is quite something.Quote:

We signed Gogic from a bottom six club and Nisbet from a Championship club. Both of which were key players for us in finishing third last season.
We're also doing this amid the backdrop of Brexit meaning non-UK based players are going to be a lot harder to sign and get work permits for so our focus need to be on players already here and we aren't in a financial position to compete with English teams above League One
This type of well balanced contribution is what is needed around here. Well said.Quote:

Very good post.Quote:

Point taken regarding Gogic and Nisbet however both of them were stand out players at their clubs and indeed leagues and were worth signing. The likes of Drey Wright for instance was far from St Johnstone’s stand outs but we signed him. I liken this to Durmus and Doyle Hayes. Happy to be proved wrong by the latter.
All just my opinion.
