Given that our commercial dept are turning away sponsors and we are no longer taking money from HSL then I think it’s fair to ask why we are losing out on players to Aberdeen?Quote:

Genuine question to the Hibs Net posters.
Be interesting to see some of the replies.
IGood solid tackler, link midfield and defense. Be able to read the game and play the easy passes.Quote:

Fair play, if Aberdeen are paying Funso Ojo an extra £5m a year then there’s no chance we could have signed him.Quote:

I think Omeonga could play this role for Hibs... Still only 23, likes to tackle, energetic, tenacious and decent on the ball. Could he perhaps adapt his game to play as a holding midfielder? Cost less than Ojo and has 4 more years in him to develop. Just a thought..Quote:

Every chance he could play that role. My concern is that PH didn’t play him there when Milligan was here and then there’s the what if he tries him and he just doesn’t suit the role. We are left without a major piece of the puzzle until January. I’d much rather find someone suited for the role instead, than gamble.Quote:

I was thinking about Gattuso who played for the club formerly know as The Rangers and the impact he had there and then later with Milan & Italy. Both the same height and Gattuso developed that role later in his career. Just a thought.Quote:

Defensive/centre mid x 2
Striker
Pacey winger (as I don’t see Newell as an out and out winger. One injury to Boyle or Horgan and we’re struggling)
I think
Omeonga plus another unknown defensive mid who will be a starter
Mcnulty
Pacey winger on loan.
Yes.Quote:

Think other areas needed more aswell.
But I wouldnt rule out another cb.
Hecky might want to play 3 at the back.
True, the more i think about it I really don’t get how Daz got a 4 year deal. I don’t get why they incorporated the player mentor and player within the same contract?Quote:

Was simply to give him an ongoing role at the club - no playing commitments made - could be coaching, could be ambassadorial...thought it was a great touch - good to see people who care about the club being kept around the place....Quote:

Mark Milligan?Quote:

With any auction you have to know your limit. What you can afford. What the item is worth to you. Can you get the same elsewhere for less. When to stop bidding.
No point winning the bidding just for the sake of it.
Buyer's regret they call it.
You don't worry about the other guy outbidding you. They have weighed up the factors as they see it and bid more. Or they have panicked and overspent.
Time will tell who got the good deal.
Too much angst on here with people using it to have a kick at the club. Probably the same people who would have been on here having a go about signing some no mark from S****horpe if the original deal had quietly gone through without the circus that ensued.
Get a grip.
Not saying I'd agree with it, but just to put out a counter-argument, with Aberdeen finishing higher in the league than us every year during this decade ambition could be put in the mix, but with a new chairman that brought a positivity and debt free environment plus the added HSL contribution, with our bigger crowds, better infrastructure and the fact 12 first team squad players have left since the end of last season, I suppose the final league position will be the decisive indicator.Quote:

He is clearly all about chasing the £££ unlike some of our other summer signings who have turned down more cash to sign for us (Doidge and James). We now need to move on to other targets and forget him but we really need a midfielder or 2 in the next 3 weeks before the league beginsQuote:
