I know 100% this is rubbish. So you're friend is either winding you up or you are indeed a yam. if you're not, and really are passing on info then you can go back and tell him he's talking out his @rse.Quote:

So the standard of the "bloke told me before an U20's game" type rumours has went the same route as the standard of the "bloke told me down the pub".Quote:

1 Deegan
2 maybury ( who hasnt signed yet)
2 weeks ago we had sold in the region of 8,000 season tickets which would have put about 1.5m in the bank - does your mate seriously expect you to believe Hibs have spent to the extent we couldn't afford to pay a months wage bill? :rolleyes:Quote:

Old tripe in the close season, canny beat it.
Although I completely agree that we can't have been close to not paying last months wages (8k seasons sold and money from final), I also can't get my head around why we have not signed more players than we have.
We started the season on Sunday with Stephens, Stevenson, Sproule and Wotherspoon in the side! I mean seriously, WHY??
Again I would like to state that I don't believe we are in any trouble, but is money down ER more tight than the fans generally believe?
exactly. i thought it was a load of tosh aswell but the lack of transfer activity is worrying when the team is this badQuote:

Kerr Maybury and Cardle have also signed, cant confirm either way if they are getting wages?
I'm sure Leishy1995 has said the exact same thing before in this thread (aside form the 100% unreliable part), and it was rubbish the first time.Quote:

I read this thread and have just thought what a waste of time and effort
this should be closed and new thread with what the headline says transfer rumours
It's good to know that my memory isn't quite as bad as I thought it was; I seem to be recovering quite nicely from a misspent youth. :greengrinQuote:

Very easily, thank you for asking Paul? Why do you ask, are you having trouble in that department? Try watching reruns of any Hibs game for the last few seasons, that does the trick for most folk.:na na:Quote:

anyone heard anymore about the boy Forsyth coming on loan?
Think the scary thing is that there is a distinct lack of transfer activity but what's worse is that the guys with some contacts and info have heard nowt.

I fully expect Hibs to get back to former glory but it will take time (more than one or two seasons - we have a lot to repair).Quote:

It would seem that Hibs can only win by signing certain players, players that the fans approve of.....and maybe those players don't want to come to Hibs. So what do we do.....sign nobody? See (2) above.Quote:

In terms of Hibs, we need new players, that's a given. I don't want to replace crap with crap but I don't expect us to be able to assemble a team of world beaters either. Give me the option, I'll take the very best player that is available. If he's not available, give me someone that at least adds to the team. No panic buys mind you, just players who will help us build. I know the rebuild will be slow. Anyone who thinks that we would have a MUCH better team now than we ended up with last season is a little unrealistic I would say. We needed to replace half the team. We're about half way there. Not terrible for one window.
That is not to say that I wouldn't have liked more, I'm just trying to be realistic about what Hibs could have done. I don't know that they could have done more. I don't know that they could have tried harder or earlier. I don't know why they missed out on some opportunities. If scouting for players is not the fans' job then neither is telling Hibs how to spend the available transfer money.
Well said, this thread has turned into a complete farce.Quote:

Its discussing players we are rumoured to be after, as you say free speech. This message board and others are built of this kind of thing, some think its fine others think its not, 99% of us wont be scouts or coaches, thats why i asked why folk always seem to ask who would you get, as if they should know the answer?
Supporters are giving their opinion, its not always if ever right, just their opinion? :greengrin
Oh no it isn't.Quote:

This "hibs rumours" page is 99% talk of anything but signing rumours.
