When Porteous is fit and if Jackson is any good, then Hanlon will be 3rd/4th choice CB. He’s just not really as good as some people make out. More average seasons than good ones.

Porteous isn't as good as folk make out either, certainly wont be walking back in.Quote:

Exactly. And maybe this signing will give us the chance to protect him at times too. Also who's to say Heckmond doesn't fancy playing a 3 back there?Quote:

Not knocking him, great prospect, not the Scotland captain folk are making out just yet though.Quote:

He also did make mistakes, was pretty easily bossed by Kenny Miller as Dundee got a point at Easter Road
Aye that Porteous is rotten. Why did we give him a 5 year deal? Money that could've been spent on signing the new Sean O'Hanlon with all that experience behind him
4th best defensive record in the league was it? And add that to a decent record last year.
All of our defenders are amongst the best in their position by Scottish football standards.
Who called him rotten?Quote:

Seems more a fan problem than one with players.
I wouldn’t have any issue with two right footers playing centre back
He is actually the Scotland captain and has been for the last couple of age groups he’s played in.Quote:

I think we can improve defensively. The goals against record is good but, and I might be wrong, I think we lose too many goals for the number of attacks we face. Aberdeen last game of the season is a good example, I think they were up the park about three times but had a couple of goals to show for it. Hearts at Easter Road, one chance and it was a goal. Common theme was centre halves leaving centre forwards standing on their own in the middle of the box.Quote:

VP has had a decent career since in good leagues.Quote:

I'm willing to bet without checking that that's Hibs Transfer News copying what was said on here a few pages ago.Quote:

Also, before this pish starts again: I'll be cheesed off is this is no' happening. Hope they tell him to say "cheese" in his picture. Hecky mozarella done lots of hard work to get this signing. Who did he play for before, Mancheddar United? Haha cheese cheese cheese cause his name is Bree and it sounds like Brie LOLZ
Feta load o' crap....Quote:

Bree is supposedly one of the players with a promotion clause in their contracts whose wages have now been increased. I'm guessing Hibs would only be covering a very small fraction of his wages in any proposed loan deal.Quote:
