Kind of mirrors what we were like a couple of years ago.
Anybody notice what squad numbers Joseph McGrath and Jamie McGrath had on Wednesday
It doesn’t really to be honest.Quote:

Yeah, know what you mean. I was being a bit flippant.Quote:

Having a huge squad where several players are not even making the match day squad could also lead to discontent and disruption in the dressing room. One of our strengths last season was the togetherness of the whole squad.Quote:

Mismatched to a manager that knows once style of football and was chosen cos they shat the bed and caved to the fans. Im glad Shankland is staying. Hes done as a player, on a bundle that will piss off the squad. First sniff of his stinkin attitude and theyll turn on him like a pack a rabid baboons. I predict another horrorshow season for them and im totally here for it!
Agreed entirely. This idea that Jamestown is the first in history to use stats and analytics to look at anything in football is made up PR nonsense. Hibs will have had stats and analytics to look at when we were signing some dross, maybe not as extensive but either way it's not a magic cure all FIFA stat "he's rated 85 and he's 82 so i'll sign the 85".Quote:

Agree. They also seem to think moving away from a Scottish/British presence will not have an impact. Multiple languages, cultures, methods of training and nutrition etc will mean at best it will be a huge challenge to knit so many players together. They could go into next season with a squad of 35 and up to 12 new players. Many of the existing squad are on long high wage contracts form last season. Selling prentice at first sniff of an offer doesn’t help them!Quote:

Jamestown is to analytics what Austin McPhee is to set-piece coaches. There are others out there but none highlighted in the same way - I couldn't name another in world football. Why is thatQuote:

I agree. Sadly it looks like they are getting their act together.Quote:

It’s understood a deal worth up to £10m is being discussed by the clubs.
Kyogo left Celtic in Jan for £10m, but barely featured for #SRFC in the 2nd half of last season.
#BCFC
The previous twitter post already reported on here (last week, ISTR) said US$.Quote:

Potential young strikers from EPL and Championship clubs:
Premier League Candidates
1. William Osula (Newcastle United, 21)
• Profile: A tall (1.93 m) Danish-born forward, 21, with pace and aerial threat
• Development Need: Only 1 Premier League goal in 14 matches; clearly needs regular first-team exposure ().
• Fit for Hibs: Would add physical presence and a cutting edge to Hibernian’s frontline.
2. Daniel Jebbison (Bournemouth, 21)
• Profile: Former Sheffield United prospect now in Bournemouth’s books. Had a mixed loan spell at Watford this season ().
• Development Need: Limited game time in Championship; would flourish with more responsibility.
• Fit for Hibs: A raw centre-forward with strength who could flourish with consistent minutes.
3. Evan Ferguson (Brighton, 20)
• Profile: Highly touted Irish talent who underperformed on loan at West Ham this season.
• Development Need: Needs confidence and minutes, both of which are achievable at Hibs.
• Fit for Hibs: A confidence boost in Scotland could help reignite his trajectory.
⸻
🔵 Championship Sparks
4. Josh Sargent (Norwich City, 25)
• Profile: Proven Championship striker—31 goals in 55 matches over two seasons
• Development Need: At 25, he needs consistent minutes to maintain form; Norwich may consider a loan.
• Fit for Hibs: Would bring clinical finishing and consistency to Hibernian’s attack.
5. Mihailo Ivanović (Millwall, 22)
• Profile: Serbian striker who finished the season on fire—7 goals in 7 straight matches.
• Development Need: A full season under his belt in the Scottish Premiership could show whether he’s Championship-ready permanently.
• Fit for Hibs: Natural goalscorer with a keen instinct and rising profile.
6. Lewis Dobbin (Everton, 20)
• Profile: Versatile forward/winger, regularly on Everton’s bench but rarely playing
• Development Need: Needs first-team minutes to convert potential into productivity.
• Fit for Hibs: Could inject energy on the flanks or through the middle, adding flexibility.
Pompey interested in Triantis but according to this article today he's wanting to prove himself at Sunderland
Portsmouth and Mousinho 'get their Triantis answer' after Sunderland developments
time for our Plan B/C SDG :agree:
We could never ever get Osula, Ferguson, Sargent or Ivanovic. I'd be surprised to be able to get Dobbin or Jebbison either to be honest.Quote:
