I can tell yiu right now if that was any of our centre halfs, they would have been given absolute pelters. I remember it at the time and thinking Halkett wasnt that great. He was also ball watching at the 2nd goal imo.Quote:

We also have winnable games coming up against Morton and St Johnstone
Defeat at Ibrox would not be the end of the world as you quite rightly say there is still a whole season to go
Still hoping for new recruits before 2/9/19 :greengrin
Na I don’t expect much from the game on Sunday. It’s a big test for us for sure so it will be ‘good’ to see how far we’ve come along.Quote:

I've seen Virgil Van Dijk do the same. Point?Quote:

Agree with all that (with the minor correction that Scotty is clearly the most impressive player among the new signings :greengrin).Quote:

Seems to have good pedigree. Can’t wait for the first Derby now and for him to flop 😄Quote:

Wikipedia isn’t the best source for judging a player so he might be brilliant, I don’t think he’s got the best of CV’s though.
Plays centre mid, high energy and is good at winning possession back and comfortable on the ball.Quote:

This used to be a fairly enjoyable forum but the last while it’s become so depressing and tedious at times. Get behind the team/club and try and enjoy it, we’ve experienced enough ***** in recent years we won’t be brilliant but won’t be ***** either just roll with it, aye you can be critical but let’s give the guys a chance first.
FWIW I think we have recruited well as do I think hearts and Aberdeen have. We will still add one or 2 if image and have another month to see what quality we can get in that will Improve us.
Kind of player is he and what’s so good about him?Quote:

How many of us knew anything about Marvin Bartley, Liam Fontaine, Dominique Malonga or even David Gray to name but a few of Alan Stubbs' signings who went on to become very successful at Hibs?
The sense of unease we may be feeling around Hecky's signings is, at this stage, surely based on little more than the fact we haven't really heard of them before. Stubbs coupled his lesser known signings with a smattering of players who already had a good pedigree in Scotland like Stokes, McGeouch, Allan, Fyvie etc whereas Hecky's signings don't bring that 'buzz' with them. Nevertheless, I am never anything but impressed when I hear him talk about his vision for the club and at present I have placed my full trust in him to shape a squad which can be consistently competitive.
The only player Hearts have signed who I would say is, when fit, a game changer, is Naismith and I remain bemused as to why he would settle for ending his career there. I can only assume they have pushed the boat out way beyond their usual player budget to meet his demands.
Another OJO 😉Quote:

I know nothing about the guy, he might be class, but his pedigree is only really decent and that’s about it.
At the end of the day, all our signings are ****ing dynamite and all Hearts and Aberdeen’s signings are pish and if you disagree you are a yam troll #GGTTH #HIBSfamily #HeckysAtTheWheel
Was referring to his time in the French youth team but I get your point.Quote:

We will find out soon enough. More than backing our squad of midfielders to win the battle
If you had just said this in the 1st place there would have been no problems. You also didn't say he was good, instead you just posted " Halkett is superb". When people asked you what you based this opinion on you tied yourself in knots & even in this post you contradict what you said previously. I posted previously I think Halkett is decent but as I live in London I've never seen him live. I also thought Souttar, Naismith & potentially Washington are excellent signings for them but I certainly wouldn't say they were superb. Conversely I think Berra is a liability, as he showed in the cup final. With the obvious exception of SJM I also wouldn't say any Hibs players in the last 5 years or so were superb although plenty have provided superb/sublime moments. I do my best to view every player objectively. My objection is to posters on here who denigrate our players & praise opposition players at every opportunity. You're certainly not the worst but IMO it was an ill thought out & troll like comment re Halkett.Quote:
