Not now they won't.

They are having to cut their cloth dramatically following their relegation to the First from the Championship.

Still would pay higher than Hibs though, but not lots more.

Normally would agree but Coventry are in deep doo doo financially just now. You never know............would take him in no problem as he always impressed with Motherwell who will miss him. They will definately be weaker this season.

I think Claros has shown that he's decent player in patches but bear in mind he can't speak or understanding English. I don't know much about Honduran football but i'm guessing it's probably different from the SPL. He's going to find it difficult to adjust quickly, especially in poor team. Hopefully we'll see him play to his full potential in a Hibs shirt next season.

Id take Jennings.

So, I suspect, would most Hibs supporters, it's more a question of whether Jennings would come to us than whether or not we want him.

Vaz Te was written off as sheight by a great many Hibbies after failing to settle in his first half dozen games or so - wonder how much he'd go for now???

Claros is another player entirely and I'll admit that I've been disappointed with him on the whole so far - however, I have seen flashes of genuine quality and would not be at all surprised if he started to show that quality much more consistently with a good pre-season behind him and his family in Edinburgh to back him up. He has 6 months left of his loan at ER anyway and I fail to see how building up a tide of negativity about Claros amongst the support is going to help him settle into any kind of form.

Kujabi is another example - how many jumpers-on of the sheight-bandwagon have been falling over themselves to describe Kujabi as the worst defender in the history of football after an admittedly poor outing in the cup final (along with pretty much all of his team mates)? Said bandwagon jumpers conveniently forget the many decent performances he turned in prior to the cup final - including an "on a plate" assist laid on for Gary O'Connor in the opening minutes of the semi vs Aberdeen without which we might never have got to the final anyway. Makes me wonder if some Hibs.netters have been inadvertantly crossbred with goldfish :wink:

While I agree with much of your post I ( & many others ) certainly did not jump on the bandwagon re PK. I posted & almost begged well before the final for him not to be played. I also stated he's decent going forward but in a final our priority was to defend & in that area of the game he's abject. It wasn't coincidence Suso started in the final despite having hardly played all season.
PS, I may have been crossbred with a goldfish but I know how to spell inadvertently - Gulp!! :wink:

I'm prepared for this team to be built over time but after losing 12 players I think we need more than just 4 or 5 in.

A couple more are in by now. Their names are Maybury and Kerr. They are here because they are both very cheap and will be signed in about 4 weeks from now when all else fails.

i think patience is needed, come august there will be players around that havnt got a deal yet and will take a wage drop. not keen on the idea of kerr or maybury. both pretty average imo. i think some of the younger guys deserve a chance. we have managed to build a team around young players before but we deff need a steady keeper and a striker

However never seen it confirmed so I might be wrong.

Or maybe the shifting financial landscape in Scottish football has caused one or both sides to have a re-think.

I've never seen any posts berating Hibs for signing Brown or Stack. Any criticism for signing the other jokers would be well and truly justified!

Heard that he signed today along with Williams.

Williams and Moore to be revealed on Thursday - not sure what the delay represents if both are signed?
10-07-2012, 01:44 PM

Promising. Moore looks like he'd be a decent signing too. Scored in the recent play offs?

Edit: his manager doesn't think he is going. This from today:

Davis also revealed the club are making progress on Moore's new contract, adding: "We are very close with Byron. I spoke with his agent on Monday and have had conversations with Byron over the last week. I will speak again with his agent and hopefully we can get something agreed."

Keeper and wide man (app signed) that leaves 2 x strikers/another Ch and a MF

Would defo take Jennings.....that would definitely strengthen Hibs/Coventry relationships after we took McPake for free.

That is the bare minimum IMHO

Well here's PF's latest take on the numbers in and out of the squad this window.

Quote:

"We don't have a big squad and we need to add a few more to it and if we can do that we will be delighted."

"We let 14 or 15 players go and we are not going to be in a position to sign that many players but we have brought in four and we are hoping we can bring in a few more to strengthen the squad," he said.

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/news/f...172459132.html

So just three or four more, which would give us a squad size of 24.

There is another story from 4th July (I think) that say's he's signed (for Crewe). Apparently not much interest in him so has signed for another year. Not sure we were every in for this guy.

The article must have been amended since his post as its blatantly obvious from the headline and content that he hadn't signed..........

I'm sure Crewe are desperate to get him to sign as Hibs would be bad news for them.

If he was to sign for an English club Crewe would receive compensation but if we get him they are entitled to nothing.

IIRC it was the same with Clayton Donaldson.

They would lose out on compensation as he is U24. If he stayed and signed for a club down there they would get some.

Nowt if he signs fur us. Same as CD
