One more signing to go, so who's it gonna be?

**green glory** · 10-08-2011 04:18 PM

Airey maybe? But we still need a right back. Calderwood is ticking all the boxes now. A RB would set things up nicely for the derby.

**Barney McGrew** · 10-08-2011 04:19 PM

Airey's having a medical tomorrow.

He's played RB for Newcastle a few times recently.

***Hibbie_Cameron*** · 10-08-2011 04:21 PM

Maybe we will sign Airey tomorrow then a right back at a later date?

I honestly can't see us signing him as a right back. Not even to fill in.

Airey and Moloney is much more likely.

I agree. But then that can't be true, we'd never have the board backing the manager would we?

Well it's never happened before

**~~Speedway~~** · 10-08-2011 04:25 PM

We should have Airey tomorrow and we'll carry on waiting for Maloney. Both are loans however.

Towell and Reynolds I could see as being deadline day deals.

**Sir David Gray** · 10-08-2011 04:27 PM

A right back is an absolute necessity.

Still think we need about another three to come in but I would say there's next to no chance of that happening.

If we got all of them, then that would be brill!

**Craig_in_Prague** · 10-08-2011 04:30 PM

RB now is critical.

Though, we'll have a pretty good bunch of midfielders......not a lot of creativity ....... But if it makes us harder to beat, that'll do nicely. We have 3 good forwards in the squad + Sproule, so there are goals in the side. I assume CC see's Thornhill as someone that can play more advanced in midfield, and the new signing today will no doubt get forward - CC mentioned he's athletic, so would expect him to get forward a bit...... All in all it's the RB position, and possibly LM/LW where we need to fill.....and then, we're good to go

**Franck Stanton** · 10-08-2011 04:33 PM

Just my opinion, and I could be wrong, but think we will sign Airey on loan, and Malone for r/b on permanant 2yr deal. Time will tell I suppose. FWIW I think the current squad is looking quite good and will make at least top 6, with a wee bit luck and self-belief, may even be challenging for a european spot.

***Diclonius*** · 10-08-2011 04:35 PM

We have a very good squad now - my only concern is that if Thornhill is injured we only really have de Graaf as backup in the advanced midfield role - and given his from last season that is slightly unsettling. I have a feeling he'll come good this season though.

**1987green** · 10-08-2011 05:02 PM

CC Was at Livingston v Stirling Albion match last night Word from Livi fans was he would be watchin Craig Barr

**CapitalHibs** · 10-08-2011 05:07 PM

Bounce and Hibsmad reporting Airey deal will only be 6 month loan deal. Maybe something to do with Phil no wanting to stay away from Newcastle for too long

**green glory** · 10-08-2011 05:09 PM

How things have changed, compared to a few weeks ago when so many were ready for getting rid of Caldo. If he's a good solid manager who makes Easter Road somewhere to fear again, then I'll happily put up with his on-screen shortcomings. He's not the best at PR, but he has an eye for good players. However, the acid test is the results when everyone is available and/or fit to play.

someone told me that he was down at the Forrest v County game watching Maloney, i kinda thought that would make sense esp if Hibs had a day off today.
We'll find out soon i guess.

Maybe for a meeting in a hotel with an unknown 'third man'.

**CapitalHibs** · 10-08-2011 05:47 PM

If Airey is going to be only a 6 month loan deal, I hope our youngsters, David Crawford and Ross Caldwell get their own loan deals and come back in 6 months a wee bit more "battle-hardened" and ready to fight for a place in the first team squad.

**1987green** · 10-08-2011 06:04 PM

He was 100% at Livi game last night coz he was sittin 2 seats away fi me

**steakbake** · 10-08-2011 06:13 PM

I would like Towell to come in. Airey would be good. Still think we could see a couple more in!

***hibsfan7*** · 10-08-2011 06:15 PM

a new right back and another striker i hope

**Sir David Gray** · 10-08-2011 06:25 PM

Squad as it stands just now;

GK

Stack
Brown

DF

Booth
Murray
Hart
Hanlon
O'Hanlon
Stephens

MF

Stevenson
Wotherspoon
de Graaf
Scott
Thornhill
Osbourne
Palsson
Galbraith
Sproule
Welsh

ST

O'Connor
Sodje
Agogo

Out on loan?

Crawford
Taggart
Caldwell
Smith
Horner
Handling
Forster

That would give us a first team squad of 21 players, with 7 youngsters going out on loan. We're already above the upper limit for the squad size that Calderwood wanted us to have, which was 20, so we probably won't have more than one extra signing coming in.

If that is the case then it must be a right back.

**~~alexhibsfan~~** · 10-08-2011 06:27 PM

I see Phil Airey and a rb signing for Saturday

I'm sure that was 20 'first team' players. I don't think it included the youngsters; Crawford, Caldwell et al.

Think Scott, Hart and possibly DeGraaf maybe moving on. 3 strikers ain't enough imo.

but we need a RB

**HibeeMG** · 10-08-2011 06:34 PM

Another question to ask is who do we think might be punted before transfer window 'slams shut'?

We will sign a right back. Towell or Maloney
We will go with the 3 experienced strikers backed up with Caldwell and Crawford as neither go out on loan.

Two midfielders will go. Pick from Welsh, Scott (possibly back to RC on loan) and De Graff.

Taggart Smith Horner Handling and Forster will go out for initially six month loan deals.
