Media is toxic the amount of trash talk they report is horrendous.
The target audience believes all this rubbish as well, I’ve had a text this morning from a Celtic supporting in law saying ‘great business for a dud 5 goals in 2 years is pish’ of course these types want you to believe they pay attention to the league but they’ve not got the slightest clue what’s going on read a few headlines in the sun and the record and it qualifies them as experts.

Really good post looking at players Hibs should be going for. Very nice to see some different names from the usual as well.
I'm not sure why everyone is all of a sudden offended by the term flop for Vente? He was the definition of a flop for us. We once again lucked out by not being saddled with a £600k black hole in the finances for someone that either isn't here or isn't performing.
Tend to agree
After that miss in the opening minutes v St Mirren last season (following similar point blank range misses vs Queens Park and Kelty Hearts) and with it being so glaring how much more an Olusanya brought to his team than Vente, I have to say the deal Hibs have struck is a great piece of business.
We've sold DV, made a profit, brought Bowie in the building, and may be able to put some profit from DV's transfer towards Triantis
That's a smart piece of wheeling and dealing by the club
Without checking each of these players, there's defo a couple standouts.
Robbie Ure looks promising, and slightly Bowie-esque. I think he's recently joined his current club so can't see him leaving so soon - but interested to see how he gets on from a Scottish pov.
The Bulgarian, Nikolov looks a player - however the quality of the opposition might be suspect. The cliche "great feet for a big man" comes to mind.
Leo Walta looks very good - and I suspect out of our range.
Sorensen has a pretty decent pedigree, but probably a position we've got numbers in (especially if Triantis signs)
Diaby is 6ft 5, so suspect we'll just sign him on that basis so the social media team can let us all know how tall he is.
I value Vente. He was part of an under performing team. In an effort to support the team, he was dropping deep to get access to the ball. This was not his game, he is a penalty box.striker.
It's too easy to write players off without considering the full picture. Was he suited to the Scottish game, possibly not, but I have no doubt he had the quality, and would have liked the opportunity to witness it on a stable platform.
I think folk are allowing themselves to get worked up over nothing. Who cares if he was on loan for a year of his two years at the club.
I liked the guy and there was clearly a footballer in there. But there can be no doubt that his tenure at Hibs will be filed alongside Melkersen in one that didn't work on the park but some will say was a success due to the fact we maybe made money out of the whole thing. It doesn't really matter why he failed here but he did, and a paper highlighting that isn't some horrible dig, it's just a fact. I wish him all the best either way.
It's how they make money these days unfortunately.
If you look at Talksport etc, they put out misleading clickbait headlines to lure people in and gather engagement.
The sun will be doing the same, more traffic and engagement on their sites will look good for them and make them money.
If people stopped engaging with it, they'd soon run out of business.
Jair. Had genuinely forgotten about him. File along side Bojang.
If we could find another club to take him it would be great though that’s probably easier said than done , can’t really see another team in our league or many in England queuing up for him tbh . Maybe a loan to some club back in his homeland a possibility?. If he has failed to return to the club when he should then he’s most likely not happy or in a good place and having someone like that around anyway isn’t good . Not entirely blaming the player but what a disaster of a signing he was .
Hopefully anyone will take him and we can even write off close to half of what we're still due him this year as part of a loan fee or a loan/new club paying some of his wages.
He is arguably the worst piece of business we've maybe done. We've signed poor players before and some looked like competition winners, but at least they were here for 6 months and gone again or on short enough deals to forget about them soon after signing.
The amount of money he'll have cost us over the four years he'll end up being here for will be eye watering, all for a return of about 4 to 6 weeks under Monty where he threatened to find some form before reverting back to not being up to it.
