Yes they have all been e-mailed doesn't mean it will be today though, it could be tomorrow or Monday, as I've said my friend didn't give me any further details as he didn't know. I received the e-mail regarding Fenlon the day before he was unveiled.Quote:

It does, signings are due to be unveiled, that was the topic of the e-mail sent to Leith TV and all other media outlets.Quote:

I'm only guessing, but signings are due to be unveiled soon otherwise media outlets would not have been e-mailed.Quote:

But I don't see why the club couldn't issue a short statement to the effect that they've signed this player, that player and the other player, and that there will be a full press conference on Saturday/Monday/Tuesday/whatever to introduce the new players to the media and fans.
They want us all to rally round with our four-hundred-poundses, but they won't tell us what if anything our four-hundred-poundses will buy us ... :rolleyes:
I was kidding.Quote:

If the club want the 2500 missing season ticket holders to renew then they will have to produce some evidence that they are serious about bringing in a better standard of player instead of trying to make them feel guilty by spinning the usual line.
They would be able to do that if they had the 2500 income in the player budget potQuote:

@p_mcpartlin
"For those asking about potential #Hibs signings, if there is to be any activity I imagine it will take place next week now."
He says it will most likely be next week, which is disappointing.Quote:

The Transfer Lad @TheTransferLad
@Thomson_8508 nothing much really
:confused:
Pinch of salt mate. I dont believe for one second that hibs are not active in the transfer market at the moment, so the "nothing much really" comment IMO is a load of s****.Quote:

Welcome to the club James.

Someone over on the bounce saying cairney having medical just now and should be announced either today or tomorrow. What's the general opinion of Cairney?
Midfielder standing at 5'9". Creative and a bit of pace about him. Scored a decent number of goals last year in the first division.Quote:

Very pleased if he is signing or having his medical.
Sounds promising.Quote:

Hibs would never employ someone with these sort of attributes! :greengrinQuote:

dont know that much about him along with the vast majority of fans, but he cant be any worse than the drivel we had last year and if he makes one forward run and beats a couple of players with it hel have done more than las seasons midfield welcome aboard the hibbie train
:tee hee:Quote:

Whatever could he have been doing to get that!!!!
LOL
Bt
He will be unveiled tomorrow.
Sounds good he will get all the time to settle in from me and won't give the lad stick if he doesn't hit the ground running.
I'm also less concerned about signing any more centre mids, I'm more hopefull we will sign a couple of pacey decent wingers, these are the players that can win us games when the forwards aint at the races imo.
Something we gave lacked for years, tricky player that can beat a man.
That was announced at the start of the week.Quote:

I'd like another defender, couple more midfield options aswellQuote:

If true and we can afford him then go fur it I saw. The type of player we have missed for ages.Quote:

If he's as good as McPake, i hope we get him. In my opinion we need another centre half.Quote:

He gets nick named "The Giraffe". I hope this is due to his height and not a slant on his level of awareness. :wink:

Know what your saying but he is exactly what we need in midfield, I would swallow my pride and go and pick him up now if was to sign for us, plus it would really wind a fair few Jambos up:wink:Quote:

Black is a horrible little rat but thats what makes him good, he gets in players faces and doesn't pansy around like many of our midfielders do. He had Stevenson in his back pocket on May 19, you could see Stevenson was feared to go near him therefore Black was allowed to do exactly what he wanted and had acres of space to do it in.
dont want to sound paranoid but if black was a Hibs player he would probably get sent off every second week.Quote:

Absolutely .... I agree with all this .
Go get him
Id love it if we had someone in our team that made other fans say that, but the majority of them are far from intimidating. People will have their own opinions, but Black would be an ideal signing for us imo, he has plenty of ability, a desire to win and a mental toughness thats sorely lacking at the moment. Hes far better than any of our current midfielders.Quote:

I don't like the guy, but I can see his practical usefulness in a team that has struggled to assert itself at home for three or four seasons now. TBH, right now I'd take Joey Barton if he were free and available and willing to come to ER.
I don't care who we sign and from which teams we sign them from. All i want is better players than we currently have. We are starting from rock bottom. We have a great chance to finish 2nd maybe even win a cup if we get the right players in! Rangers r bust and Hearts have weakend. We just need a team thats better than Well and United to get 2nd IMO
What makes anyone with all their marbles think that?Quote:

We all hope the players we bring in are good, but ffs talk of 2nd place is a little premature.
Ian Black football ability wise yes, cocaine snorting annoying hearts fan prick, no.
