SDG comms from last night talking about Martin Boyle..... Did he let the cat out the bag when he said "" He's delivered for this football club for 9 years he's been here now, next year will be his 10th season"" or am I reading too much in to that?
(199) 'Unbelievable achievement' as Hibs seal third spot I Full David Gray Post Match Interview - YouTube
From around 1:30 min
Just thinking of recruitment and our Bournemouth link and how they might be open to sending better players to us now with the potential of group stage European football, and how their players may be more open to it.
Discounting the development players like Bevan etc, the most likely would probably be
Will Dennis/ Alex Paulsen - Both goalkeepers who have been linked before and we’ll be in the market for one or two.
James Hill - Defender who was previously at Hearts on loan. Really limited game time but would likely have interest from Championship clubs as he was apparently brilliant on loan at Blackburn last season.
Romain Faivre - Seem to have signed him and then continued to send him out on loan to Brest in Ligue 1, played some champions league games for them this season.
Daniel Jebbison - Striker who they signed and sent out on loan to Watford before recalling him in January as he was struggling. Unlikely to play many games for them and his form at Watford may put other championship teams off.
Was thinking that last night, he’s started a hell of alot of games for us so SDG must like something about him.Quote:

He’s 24 in the summer so will depend whether SDG thinks he can improve him or if we can sign better for the money.
The players would need to agree to come too. Given Jebbison and Hill have been playing Premier League football this year and Faivre in Ligue 1, I can’t see any of them coming to us.Quote:

I’d be surprised if Bournemouth aren’t looking to improve in the summer and recruit better, instead of giving these two more game time. Options for them would likely be loans
Europa Groups maybe, not sure how excited those guys would get about playing in the ConferenceQuote:

Much more excited than they'd be playing Ross County and Falkirk in the run of the mill games.Quote:

I think it's fairly likely Jebbison will be offered to us imo. He's at a bit of a crossroads at the minute as he's hardly set the heather alight on his loan spells in the Championship and I don't think Bournemouth fans are that keen on him after he had a bad miss in their game last week.
A loan to us where he can reignite his career and get some European games to boot could be a good fit. I also don't think him or Hill are in a position to only want Europa but turn their nose up at the Conference League. I don't think that'd matter.
You're probably right about the European groups. I'm not even sure now that it would be a consideration, the league they play in will be of the greatest concern to them.Quote:

Used to think Bingo was a decent poster as well 😁Quote:

As I said, Maolida and Marcondes were willing to come to us for a spell without Europe and both are better players than the ones I quoted
Aberdeen announce signing
🇦🇺 ✈️ 🏴
Nicolas Milanovic has signed a pre-contract agreement with the Dons after we agreed an undisclosed fee with Western Sydney Wanderers.
Ronan Hale surely worth a look? Especially if County end up relegated, which I think they will.
15 goals for an awful County side.
Reported.Quote:

If we’re looking for squad fillers to cover us playing a lot of games, he’s another one from Bournemouth that could be offered to us.
Looking to forward to seeing who we release just as much as who we bring in.
Thinking there will be a lot of changes this summer.
I personally would be quite surprised to see some of the names floating about other than Jebbison. He'll be 22 next season and hasn't started well anywhere at the moment and we could be seen as a great landing spot for him to kick start for a season rather than sending him down to League 1.
James Hill would be in a position to want to stay in the Championship instead of coming back up the road. He'll feel he's done that part of his career and will be looking for his next move to set him up for the prime of his career imo.
Faivre is a complete no chance though.
I asked this before, but cannot remember an answer, are we limited in players from one club we can have on loan? There is an overall limit of loan players one club can have also I seem to remember, but cannot remember the number?Quote:

A loan to us next season could be a good option for the lad. I know the idea of loaning players offends some people but if he's got a bit of quality I don't see why not.Quote:

He wasn't up against much. You have to qualify it that way.Quote:
