I’d be signing one further centre back even if Porteous doesn’t move on, 2 if he does.Quote:

Ideally you would want to be sitting with 4 established centre halves but whether Hibs can afford to have that is another matter.Quote:

In essense we only have 2 centre halves this season plus Daz who should have retired in the summer and a very young guy on loan in Wood.
No he’s not mate he signed there permanently after them agreeing components aberdeenQuote:

Hopefully he is over here sooner rather than later.... the Covid situation in mainland europe is getting pretty bad and lockdowns are happening again. If another lockdown or at least a travel ban happened would he be able to travel due to work reasons?Quote:

That might just buy him enough good will and boost his confidence enough to find out if there is really a player in there. otherwise he would be better of heading to a new club and starting afresh I think.
Well reminded.Quote:

It's away against Nashville who they played against 3 weeks ago.
They drew 1-1 that night with Orlando having a goal disallowed in the last minute which they are still very angry about.
Nashville were unbeaten at home all season (17 games).
Nashville strength is defending. Will they be able to keep a motivated Nani out?
Fingers crossed for Mueller to Easter Road soon.
Ok cheers didn't realise that.Quote:

Except the vaccinated are just as likely to come down with the virus as the unvaccinated. And just as likely to transmit the lurgy.
Is there any chance of keeping the Covid misinformation (such as stubru's garbage above) off the forum?

Another thing you can do is use the internet to check reputable sources before you talk nonsense.

Do yourself a favour and research your statement on a credible resource as it is wrong.
If you were on the TV programme Qi a big claxon would have gone off when you pushed transmit.
Careless talk costs lives.
and you managed to mess up the quotes on your post. Sit down and stop touching things.
I think it is fair to say that there is not 100% parity between unvaccinated and vaccinated individuals when it comes to risk of dying, infection and spreading, but it would also be foolish to dismiss the fact that vaccinated people can and still do die and infect. The stats are in the links below.
UK Govt stats
https://www.gov.uk/government/public...llance-reports
Latest: https://assets.publishing.service.go...rt-week-46.pdf
I personally think there is too much black and white polarisation fuelled into this debate - it isn't simply about vaccinated versus unvaccinated, it should also included those with pre-infection natural antigens (which some studies demonstrate to be better and longer lasting than vaccination). Also testing for infection rather than testing that you've had been vaccinated should be the precursor for social restrictions.
Can we take this misinformation off the transfer thread please?
Wait, it's not meant to be about the transfer of Covid between people this winter?! :confused:Quote:

With the greatest respect to all who have posted on the topic if I want any further information on Covid, Hibs Net would not be in my top 100 choices of where to get it, and yes I get the irony of that statement after plaguing the Broadband threat on the PM board for info.
Something I really enjoy is reading about players we may or may not be signing, even if some of the contributions prove hopelessly wrong, I really don't want to have to read page after page of unrelated stuff in an attempt to do so.
Thanks
Stephen O'DONNELL still on radar.
Surprised at that tbhQuote:

The time, if any, to get him was when he left Killie.
Any chance we would be looking at free agents with the 9 games in December coming up? No insider info just wondering
They wouldn’t be match fit - so unlikely I’d sayQuote:

Nathan Wood confirmed as away back to Boro early. Some signing that.

He is a talented No.10 in the hole behind the strikers so probably an Allan replacement and importantly Ross would almost have to build the team around him to accommodate his lack of defensive inclination. He is an exciting player with great close skills and if Hibs could get him firing he would be worth a fortune.
I really rate Fuchs.Quote:

All need to be strengthened before we consider a new goalie IMO.
I actually think Macey has had a good season, he has the odd fluffed clearance like Wednesday but he’s a very good shot stopped IMO and is getting better at coming for crosses.
I don’t think that’s going to happen he will get the rest of this season to improve and decision will get made in the summerQuote:

Hibs keeping their options open here. It wouldn't surprise me if, depending on our other business in January, he stays at Rovers for the rest of the season.
See the lad Charles at Accrington will be sold if those interested meet their valuation of the player!
Wonder if we are still interested?

Probably agreed a loan in Jan for one of our players in return.Quote:

He's one of the worst midfielders in the league in terms of losing possession, both from poor control and poor passes. I dug up the stats a few weeks back when posters suggested him and if I remember right only Gogic and Jordan Tilson had worse stats in terms of how often they give the ball away.Quote:

I know it’s been joking said thousands of times, but HTC when you see it here must be some attraction for players https://vm.tiktok.com/ZM8tNykox/
Can’t be many teams in England below mid championship level plus all of Scotland outside the old firm who can compete with that plus our stadium.
I'd keep eyes on Ross Callachan, Jambo I know but stood out at Hamilton last year and has been performing well at county. Real battler, good range of passing, scores the odd goal with a point to prove. No idea of contract situ.
Can't stand him always tries to do a Hibs player when we play them wouldn't have thought he would be good enoughQuote:

Way off Porteous and Hanlon level IMO.
I see Jason Kerr has only appeared in 4 out of 21 matches for Wigan.
I’d revisit that one and see if we can get him to be honest.
Would be a perfect fit, only problem is he is reputedly on a weekly wage at Wigan which is out of our ballpark.Quote:

Go get McCart and McGrath now
I’d be happy with that. The little I’ve seen of him I liked. He’s young but has top flight experience. However I get the impression we are going to spend money on a CB, which I’m in two minds about as I really rate our current two. Unless we are going to three at the back of course. I don’t think we will go for McCart though.Quote:
