[QUOTE=GordonHFC;3282077]I hope we are 2ND, but im not daft enough to say we should be aiming for it. Then state if this happens and that happens we might get. I will settle for progression. From 11th to 2ND only on here.Quote:

Ill be happy with a wee tidy 4th place finish, Even that's pushin it.
If we were to aim for 2nd and finish 3rd/4th then would it really be so bad? If we aim for a top 6 and finish 6th/7th I would be disappointed.
It's a mindset thing for me, if you believe you can finish the best of the rest then you have a chance. Go in thinking top 6 then we're in danger of mediocre thinking/performances.
And I do believe it's realistic giving the budget we have compared to others.
A few decent signings and it's game on. Look at what Mowbray done and what McLeish achieved with changing the squads they inherited.
In my opinion of course! This is Hibs so we could have Spain's team and still finish 11th :greengrin
Everything below Celtic is wide open next season. Motherwell may lose a couple more players, can't see United adding many players, Hearts have lost some key players etc etc.
If we can add a couple more players of McPake type quality and generally improve the squad then i don't see why we shouldn't be aiming for 2nd place. Not saying we will finish 2nd place by any means, but it is what we should be aiming for. The rewards are there for the taking next season.
I have no problem aiming for 2nd, what i dont understand is anyone actually thinking we can make 2nd. We are pish, and have been pish for quite a while. We will sign players, we look like we have signed 3 now.Quote:

Every season we have a poll on where we will finish, and even i have put us in at 4th when we have been nowhere near 4th at the end.
At least when i said 4th it was on the back of a 4th place finish the season before. We have finished 10th and 11th, 6th place would be real progress next season, but i fear with some if we dont make 2nd, some folk will hyper ventilate at the failure?
As i said earlier, 11th to 2nd, only on here. :rolleyes:
I would bite yet hand off for any of the three, I don't care who they played for before. As long as they give 100%Quote:

Two from twitter...
@AgentScotland: Dean Shiels has had informal talks about a return to Easter Road with Hibernian
And
@AgentScotland: Hibs have offered Garry O'Connor a fresh one year contract, he still has options in China, Russia and Aberdeen

In Clancy we seemed to have picked up a good solid RB and we've signed McPake, the one player that fans have wanted the club to sign on from last years loanees...it's a good start and I hope for many more of the same or better from the club, it's a summer of positive change :greengrin
He'd better behave or it could be the Serbian salt mines pal eh!!Quote:

Sorry to be serious here, but I just think we need less players with a screw loose, unless the screw loose is one that makes them lose their teeth in the midfield battle and scares the droppings out of yams
If he has options abroad I doubt they are for this season.Quote:

Garry O'Connor offered 1 year deal and Dean Shiels has had infomal talks :thumbsup:

I don't want Shiels either, it appears he's improved since he left us but i still don't really know what his best position is, he appears to be a luxury player that plays in 'the floating role' and i'm not sure we can accomodate that position just now.Quote:

I've no time for GoC either, guy seems like a total erse and i'm fed up of having them at our club, let's get some proper professionals in.
Ivan was crap when he first joined, no left foot, no cross, couldnae pass, didnae backtrackQuote:

Agreed, I dont want either of them (although Id much rather have Shiels than GOC).Quote:
