#Aberdeen's new signing is a current international player who knows the SPL and has played in European games, announced at 1230 #patience
Aberdeen and Hibs have missed out on former Hamilton keeper Tomas Cerny, who has signed on for CSKA Sofia. (Daily Mail) Pity as we need a decent experienced goalkeeper.
Sunderland, Stoke and Fulham are all interested in Wolves' Steven Fletcher, but the Midlands club have warned any suitor will have to pay £10m to sign the striker. Daily Mirror Not bad for someone with only "one foot and wasn't Hibs class". By the way never even made it into the Scottish BBC gossip so assume he never played for the old firm.
Ian Black :dunno:Quote:

Aberdeen got themselves a couple of decent wide players now, something which was evidently lacking when we played them last season IMO.

The site is quite clearly saying in it's news feed that the tabloids are reporting we are in for Shiels. is that true or not? :confused:
Where on the site does it claim that Hibs-Mad are claiming it's their story??
The site has had plenty exclusives in the past because we have two folk inside ER, used to have three but the player moved to a different club, and also report on current news surrounding the club.
The two guys that run that site, have done for 10 years, id say if we were talking ***** we'd have been removed by now.
Nice to see you slagging off fellow Hibby's. The Hibs famnily indeed. :rolleyes:
Would be delighted with that.Quote:

FWIW I think that rumour came from football rumours website so he won't be signing.
Never see him play but he is class on FMQuote:

I really hate doing any Hibs player down but IMO Kujabi is one of the poorest Hibs players I've ever seen & I've seen some shockers in the last 50+ years. I'm not being wise after the fact, I posted well before that game that PK should be nowhere near the park. Yams played the Spanish waiter for one reason only & it won them the cup. Our 4-0 vs Pars, their clearest 2 chances, both in 1st half, came directly in his area. He's neat going forward but is hopeless in defence. Every SPL manager knows this & will target him ( if he plays ) this season. I'm a big PF fan but it worries me he thinks PK's a better player ( or prospect ) than Callum Booth.Quote:

He's another full back thats not great at defending, christ we used to have a go at whittaker and he was actually a good player.
Im not sure if its been posted before (apologies if it has) but we offered Ian Black a deal but he rejected because the wages were so low.
Where did you hear that Josh?Quote:

I like Kujabi. He's keen as mustard and as long as he's kept well away from his own goal he's more than useful up the left side.
^ This will be 100% accurate, by the way.Quote:

He could play there, he just wouldn't be very good at it.Quote:

My fave was when we did a story about Stephen Glass going to Dunfermline, the actual Dunfermline official site, copy and pasted our whole story, including a typo btw, and claimed it as theirs.
Off topic, ive heard derek riordan is going on trial with a La Liga side. going to be in tommorows papers.

Wouldn't mind seeing 3 or 4 more players in. I do hope they get them before pre season games, that way they know how each other work before the season starts. But if not I just hope the quality is there and not dross left at the end of the window. Have to say I'm happy with the signings thus far.Quote:

Yeah it's looking that way. Sadly if we go into the new season with a squad so bare it means we can't afford any injuries or suspensions, as that will leave us fighting for our lives again. You never know Hibs may shock us and pull off a few signings and hit the ground running. Pat needs a good start to this campaign after the disaster last season and cup final (sorry to mention that) really hope it works for him as I actually like the guy and think he could do well once a team of his is completed, or near enough.Quote:

We still have absolutely no width. This has been a problem for years. We need two wingers and at least one striker. There is no other option, sproule, Galbraith, kujabi (been mentioned), booth (not fancied) and spoony who is definitely better more central are NOT wide men. We HAVE to sort this or we are going to end up playing another year or nonsense, no tactic football with zero shape.

In all fairness it was a shocking pass back from the full back

I still think he's better than people make out. He was good enough for Swansea in the championship. He was young at us. Where is he?Quote:

The boy Doyle seems in as well. Played a few cup games for The brum and played a few championship games as well.
Can you point me in the direction of any press reports of his games in the championship please?:confused:Quote:

It really is. People are so thick they just go along with whatever Sky Sports tell them. It's the same mindset that sees Scottish fans now 'supporting' English clubs. Utterly pathetic.Quote:

If I could find my quote on this re John Sutton I would be very smug. I did say Hibs were after Sutton approx 1 month ago.
Didn't realise I was being thick.. There was me thinking I support West Ham because my family are from that end. Just like I support Hibs because my family In Scotland do. Nothing at all to do with SKY but thanks for pointing out I'm one of the thicko's.Quote:

What a ludicrous thing to say. When I grew up it was almost customary to have an English side to follow. Probably because of Sportscene showing both leagues on a Saturday night. My team was West Ham because at the time they were not the best team, but went out to entertain. Many of my peers followed Liverpool because of their success and contingent of Scottish players. But every single one of my mates had an English team......nowt to do with telly really, just due to being absolutely besotted with the game of football. If folk want to support an English team 'cos of tv nowadays who cares...at least they love the beautiful game !Quote:

If the midfield rumours are to be true about Shiels then it would be this for the midfield : Stevenson - Shiels - Cairney - Osbourne : obviously they may be in a diamond if this is the first choice midfield, bottom line is though is that we need a good wide player or we need Galbraith and Wotherspoon to live up to their billing as great young prospects.
Any rumours surrounding a striker other than John Sutton?
