If signed by friday is he fit enough to start in the sunday derby game against the smelly half of Edinburgh.

The Jambos will be sick. Enough of these EPL players!

It's went from reliably infoermed to news paper story though.

**~~Captain Trips~~** · 29-12-2009 10:59 PM

Good to see that the right area is to be improved, hopefully he will do that if signed.

He's already listed as a Hibs player on Wikipedia!

More of a recent rumour no???

Now it's made the tabs it gives it a wee bit more cred and from the other teams quoted Hibs would surely have the most muscle at this moment in time.

He'd certainly fit the bill for satisfying Yogi's stated preferences re transfer targets and shoring up our defence - dominant centre half with possibly his best years ahead of him (his recent injury problems being the major risk factor).

He's proved already that he can handle life in the SPL - was a bit unlucky with injuries at the start of his spell down south if I understand correctly - could be a really good signing IMO - especially if on a free transfer

**davym7062** · 29-12-2009 11:26 PM

i dont care if he's ready for the derby. he will improve us greatly for the rest of the season.

***Lmc2105*** · 29-12-2009 11:41 PM

just an indication of things to come
what a great replacement for sol ... i think anderson is a very strong def good in the air and will be a good addition to the team smart thinking yogi!

lets hope more to come

good times indeed

***blackpoolhibs*** · 29-12-2009 11:43 PM

He was a superb central defender. I have no idea how good he is now, but if he can get near to what he was at the sheep, he will be a very good signing.

Potentially a very good signing indeed, I think Webster has shown with his time at Utd that it's possible to put a couple of seasons of injury behind you and perform well in the SPL. Hopefully (if we sign him), he'll do the business for us.

**sambajustice** · 29-12-2009 11:50 PM

**** me!

We'll have Robocop playing at centre half! He'll no come off 2nd best in a tackle!

As long as the Yams dont sign ED-209 to play upfront we'll do alright this season...

Though Nade would be salivating at the prospect of getting some micro-chips.

***basehibby*** · 30-12-2009 01:32 AM

just thougt I'd add - he was always a target for me in Championship Manager (the one when Hibs still had McManus up front)

***Speedy*** · 30-12-2009 02:39 AM

From his wikipedia page:

"Russell James Anderson (born 25 October 1978) is a Scottish football defender who currently does not play for Hibernian."

**Landells** · 30-12-2009 05:56 AM

I'd go with him

***Mikey*** · 30-12-2009 06:10 AM

I heard at the time that the recent game against Sunderland could have been set up to allow Hughes to see Anderson in action. Looks like that may be right.

So, on that basis, was the game against Newcastle used for the same purpose? Here's their starting line up from from that game............

Alnwick
Taylor
Tozer
Kadar
Ferguson
Donaldson
Geremi
Mouritsen
Edmundsson
Ranger
Ameobi

Good to see they're writing him off already.

They're saying the same things about him as they said about Stokes. And Miller. And Murray.

**mjhibby** · 30-12-2009 07:20 AM

What a tremendous signing if true.He is coming back to fitness and has played in a few reserve games in the epl which lets face it arent far off the standard of the spl.How the mighty jambos have fallen when their jealousy of the actual big team sees them try to slag hibs signing an epl player while they try to sign guys who cant even get into a team in the bottom of the championship or top of league one.Quite obvious to everybody who the big team is i think.

**mjhibby** · 30-12-2009 07:21 AM

Btw anubody any idea how the aberdeen fans are thinking about this as im sure they would have loved him back.

**mjhibby** · 30-12-2009 07:28 AM

Having had a quick look at sickbag,quite a few of them actually realise it would be acracking signing and while he may take a while to reach full fitness he will be a great addition to the squad and maybe,just maybe,means bamba is away in january which would give yogi the spending power to get in his goalie and probably another centre midfielder.Exciting times,if they werent already.

**hibiedude** · 30-12-2009 07:31 AM

Good signing if it happens

They suggest that he'd always choose to sign for the Dons as opposed to another 2nd rate SPL team... (at least by that comment they infer that THEY are a 2nd rate team!).

BH.

Anderson would certainly enhance our squad, think it would be a cracking signing.

As for the bit in bold,imagine if yogi could get 2 more in, in the january transfer window
