I'd expect Antell to be ahead of Grant in the pecking order. He wasn't involved in the final squad because he was cup tied from his time at Eat Stirling.

If that was the squad that started the season I'd be worried. Thankfully I'm 99.9% certain it won't be.

Forwards - Doyle, Stanton, Caldwell, NEW SIGNING

This squad leaves a lot to be desired in its present state, but hopefully a few of these players are off and a couple of the younger ones can be put out on loan to the first division to see if they are ready to play an SPL fixture. Hopefully Galbraith can remain injury free as I rate him quite highly, and hopefully Wotherspoon can rediscover his form.

Danny Galbraith is more pi$h than a pi$hed tramp who's just pi$hed himself.

Yeah I cant see us signing too many. It is a bit worrying given the group of players we have at the club, where really only a few of them are anywhere near SPL standard, but with the uncertainty over the TV money etc, we are probably a bit limited in what we can do.

Yep, relegation written all over it unless something drastic is done. Given the deafening silence so far I'm not getting my hopes up. :rolleyes:

Galbraith has had an op recently in London for a recurring problem that has been bothering him for a while. Lets hope its behind him now.

Let's give the man a chance guys. I am more than certain PF has been working very hard to bring players (better than we had) to the club.

And if we do sign an unknown give them a chance before we slate them.

That's the way -give them as much support as you can.

Is he wrong?

We could support that team we have with 20,000 partizan Hibees each home game and we wouldn't get a point. The current players left are poor and that midfield is brutal. We need a full team signed possibly only Hanlon is any good and he's pretty poor. Major work required 18 days in and zero players signed!

See McPake has retweeted a message of some felly begging him to join the Hibs! That should be the 3 year deal sorted now!!!!

To express thoughts on a player like that, yes. Do you think that's the right way to talk about one of our young players?

Linked in with a mention about Coventrys first home game too sadly.

Also answered a Coventry fan asking where he'll be playing next season with 'I'll be at Cov mate'.

Exactly my thoughts, but don't expect any sympathy for your worries on here as you will get the usual excuses such as holidays and it's the "Hibs way"

The board should have acted much quicker to try and even make us feel a bit better after that final shambles but as usual not even a word, STV have already started kicking us when we are down by jumping on the Fenlon in the stands for the yaks game story yet we have complete and utter silence instead of at least statement of intent from Petrie and co.

An absolute disgrace in my book but of course I hope I'm wrong but as you say, 18 days....

I also noticed he is mates with Brian Kerr.... fives on a regular basis... He's not the messiah!

Maybe get the two of them in!

I don't think we get many goals from those forwards with the service from that midfield unless your new midfielder is Iniesta and your new forward is Van Persie.

You have us signing 5 new players. I would like to think we will sign closer to double that.

Sorry but read what I actually typed underneath the squad. Hibs are not just going to let loads of players who are under contract here go. That is why I said that young players need to go out and get some good first team experience, preferably in the first division. That would free up squad space and allow for new signings to come in as the likes of Claros and Osbourne have their contracts run down. Never once did I say that this is the squad I want us to have, but at this moment it is the one that we are equipped with. We need at least 3 defenders, 3 midfielders and at least two strikers, a goalkeeper would be a plus too.

But not once did I even remotely suggest that we keep the current squad without any major reshaping or shipping out.

We can go with a smaller squad but still add more than 8 I think.

When you think we have probably signed Cairney and Clancy. We are also talking to Michalik and possibly McPake. We've also been linked with a couple of goalkeepers. That doesn't include any strikers yet and we've lost our starting two.

I think we will see about 10 new players. If we could get rid of the likes of O'Hanlon, Galbraith and Wotherspoon then hopefully we could look at 11 or 12. We need them.

:agree: Lord help us!!!

I still think that O'Hanlon could do a job for us, he was superb against Aberdeen at Pittodrie; with a bit of confidence he'd come back to bite us on the arse.

There's a good player in there.

If he is pish, he is pish....no point in beating around the bush, no matter his age. A complete waste of a wage

Hayes has been tweeting a lot and spent a few long days in the glasgow area, and then motherwell before heading back to inverness, maybe it's motherwell,

Some talk on twitter from journos that Hearts have now made him an offer. Not sure if they have the money these days, long since given up trying to work out how they get players but we have seen it so often in recent years when they go for an SPL player up against other clubs they usually get the man. See Ian Black, Darren Barr, Kevin Kyle, Andy Webster, Jamie Hammil, John Sutton, Mendi Touil.

If he doesn't sign for Aberdeen are they not going to look a bit silly? Apart from the infamous Mo Johnstone saga, I can't think of a time a club has basically announced a signing and then not followed it through.

He's not been linked to Hibs anywhere for weeks now so it doesn't look like he'll be coming anywhere near us. Once Hearts get the monopoly money out there is usually only one winner. If they sign players this summer then there is any wiff of wage problems next season then the SPL has to act.

In my view what they have done re wages is almost as bad as RFC. Keep hoping the house of cards will fall but that day never seems to come. Maybe it never will but until they sort themselves out we will always wonder if they are going to be the next Rangers. Just know that even if that jammy shower did go into admin or were liquidated, they will wriggle their way out of it and come relatively unscathed.

Whilst I agree with what you say about Hearts they have got rid of Beattie and Skacel who were probably on about 3.5k a week. Black was also on 2.5k a week. They could offer Hayes 2.5k a week and am guessing us (not saying we have made an offer) and Aberdeen wont offer more than 2k per week. Just the way it works.

I would have liked us to get Hayes, but I don't think he's worth £2k a week.

If you only want to see nice things then go to need-a-cuddle.net.

He's nearly 22 year old. If he'd get upset by being called pi$h then it's nae wonder he's so powderpuff on the pitch. Here's a novel idea for him, be better.
