Can't remember if it was on here on somewhere else where someone was having a dig at our managers and asking why Duffy could only sign 1st Div players, Yogi could only sign Falkirk players and Fenlon could only sign Irish players.
I wonder how that theory stands up to Paddy Kujabi and George O'Claros?

I love the transfer window!
What a wonderful distraction after that game.
Fantasy, dreaming and lots of speculation.
The transfer window is great.
To make it worse theres about 5 kids on that list, but then if that's what we've got then thats what we need to use.Quote:

I seem to recall McCall saying that Motherwell's only bad run of form last season coincided with Jennings being out injured.Quote:

Signing a consistent member of a Champions League qualifying defence. Sounds good to me. :agree:
The older rainbow six games were brilliant but his more recent ones like Ghost Recon the latest splinter cell were a bit crap.

We're not trying to win anything next season in my opinion, we're trying to stop losing and develop a professional habit. Just getting the squad mentality out of george street and not getting relegated next season would be a massive turnaround.Quote:

Mate of mine's a 'Well fan. Says Clancy can beat a man and whip in some good crosses and is pretty comfortable with the ball but can be a bit slack at times. He likes him but he was often a scapegoat.
I don't think he'd be a bad signing at all.

Looking very likely that Clancy and McPake will be the first 2 signings. :greengrin

No - I fully agree.Quote:

June 1st presumably.Quote:

Hopefully some of the younger boys currently at the club will be getting primed to act as back up to the more established & experienced players arriving.
This is a promising start, I just hope the momentum is maintained and we dont fall flat our faces (again)...
Depends when his contract ends.Quote:

I'd certainly be underwhelmed with us unveiling Cairney as the first summer signing on his Jack Jones.
We had no strength in depth with a large squad this season anyway. They were all Tom Kite.Quote:

For me Clancy is another David Van Zanten. Extremely average. Was surprised Motherwell picked him up as he'd always looked a liability to me at Kilmarnock. He got 27 games for Motherwell which is decent but he was hardly the first name on the team sheet. He's versatile too, I'd have even preferred Towell.
Is it you that thought Craig Brewster was crap for Hibs? :greengrinQuote:

The Craig Brewster that played for us would have quite rightly racked up a few appearances for Hibs the past few seasons in fairness. Would still rather have Akpo though :wink:
Fixed for you :aok:Quote:

Says in the article that Jennings is out of contract as well? Sign him up too Rodders :aok:
And Lasley - we could do a lot worse than sign the two of them.Quote:

So begins the assembling of Fenlons proper squad! Quite happy to see our boss is making moves so quickly as I would expect to have everyone in place or signed at least for the resumption of pre season training in about 4 or 5 weeks time.
Boy in the graft just got back from Kevin mules stag doo and he told me that hibs have offered Kyle a contract as have hearts on reduced terms due to the injuries. Not for me but I guess it gives us an insight into the type of player we are looking for up top
Kyle that's ment to say not muleQuote:

We seem to have sat and watched all of the other non OF SPL teams snap up the best SPL talent while we've carried on with our Journeymen/SFL/Ex-Players/Loans policy.
However, maybe the fact that all of our players were either loans or Out of Contract will pay off as Pat knows exactly what his budget is right at the start of the transfer window and won't have to rely on 'shuffling the pack' to coin one of yogi's favourtie phrases. He has a blank sheet which as i say may be a great benefit to him/us.
dont know too much about the boy, but the motherwell fans seem to think he was a bomb scare. although the same was said about bamba. and many others who turned out decent. and many others who turned out to be bomb scares

His injuries are a concern but another player whos played in the SPL, Id take him. Glad thats what we are looking at rather than reserve players from the lower leagues down South.Quote:
Originally Posted by edinburghhibee

I'd be surprised if McPake comes back. Why would any decent player with aspirations to having some kind of career in football want to tie the Hibernian millstone round his neck before leaping off the pier?Quote:

Well the boy was told this from Kyle himself. Also when it was in the papers he had been released hearts were quoted as saying they would consider him again in the summer when fit if I remember correctly.Quote:
