Any club signing major targets before the Rangers dust settles would be foolish. Surely best to wait and see what finance and budgets you are likely to be dealing with.

There's plenty of activity. Players of quality, mediocrity and inadequacy are saying no to us on a daily basis.

We should announce that on the fishy.

Breaking news, we're interested in multiple players. We revealed this so other clubs can take them from us.

Why are they taking so long to announce Cairney? Weird, thought they would with the kit.

hes on holiday at the moment.

on the man u site, they have a "what the papers say" and a "transfer spec" section. this could be cool on the official site/.net its not official, its just what the papers are saying. obv, we are linked with MANY MANY more players than man u, so we would need to update it hourly rather than daily . . .

IIRC the official site broke with usual protocol and made a statement about Cillian Sheridan being on trial last summer - this place subsequently went into meltdown when he went to St. Johnstone.

Small matter of him not being signed?

I think that the Hibs official board should make absolutely no comment at all about potential or actual signing targets. We have no need to try and get people excited for next season, and this wall of silence has worked in the past.

I see Jody Morris has signed for Bristol City, least St Johnstone will be slightly weaker after losing him thought the Saints always looked better with him in the team.

I have enough evidence to believe he is tbh. The guy who reported it in the Express has been spot on with his reports on us and Scoops has said so as well.

Makes sense muzz :aok:

It's not about breaking with the usual Hibs protocol on transfers.

Rather its the fact that we apparently have nothing to announce, which implies that no new signing has as yet been secured.

And that will make folks increasingly uneasy as time moves on.

Maybe next week ... :cb

According to someone on the Bounce, Mark Brown has signed for Falkirk, the source being Broony's mum.

I probably should've used a quote in my post, I was replying to the poster who (genuinely) thought that Hibs should comment on speculation on the official site.

I know what the implications are, and I can understand why people are concerned - that said, Scoopyboy and Brooster have both provided us with info, and they are usually spot on, so I am happy enough to take that as gospel. I am a bit puzzled as to why the club hasn't announced anything yet, but we'll see what happens when some official news does finally get released.

I posted almost two weeks ago saying that I wasn't anxious yet, and was happy to wait and see - I'm still there now, but given the level of rebuilding required, fans are understandably going to want to see some serious transfer action very soon.

It's still football holiday time - although stuff will be taking place in the background.

We will see activity probably next week. Hopefully a reasonable amount of it to get us going.

Did someone say that McPake was home now?

HIBS will have to wait a little longer to discover whether they will secure the signature of James McPake, with the defender now on holiday until the start of July.

Seems a long holiday according to EN and Coventry pre season starts 1 July!

Half decent defender if I remember correctly. Wonder if that may mean Hanlon moving on as the same position? He could also get his referee brother to beat up Thomson so may be a be a win/win.

Every post Speedway does makes me hope we're actually going to sign someone.
