    Doesn't say we're done though or have I missed it?

    The proof of how successful this window has been will be in how many of our acquisitions actually "deliver" and deliver consistently.

    Chill, pal

    We won't be here in 100 years time, but Hibs will, still

    McNulty is a great signing, Gauld looks good and not seen enough of Omeonga yet and the rest are uninspiring.

    Difficult under the circumstances of last week or so I understand but the squad is still ridiculously thin and we are only one or two injuries in defence and attack away from a shambles.

    Also, a huge rebuilding job required in the summer for the new boss.

    Yes

    MacLaren out - dud, not good enough

    Laidlaw out - never going to get in front of Rocky or Bogdan

    Hyndman - dud, shat it in big games

    Mavrias out - short term cover, was always leaving

    Ambrose out - can't deny he is a loss but the lad Johnson seems decent

    -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Gauld in - quality player, the lad is too good for us

    Omeonga in - has great potential

    McNulty in - local boy, scores for fun and a £1m player that was wanted by several other clubs.

    Johnson in - man mountain who wants to play football and has bags of potential, highly rated

    Bigirimana in - surprise addition and appears to be a loss to Motherwell


    Lets give them a chance eh.

    Considering we've also lost Boyle & Porteous for the season, that is a truly shocking transfer window. I sincerely hope something miraculous happens or season ticket sales will be way down.

    Don't get all the drama on here at all...we made 3 decent signings yesterday...not bad going with no manager?? The last week has been a poor one for us...at least we've bolstered a few key areas...we just need our luck to improve a bit with injuries but I think this squad under a manager who knows how to pick a team can get us top 6 and hopefully a good cup run. Hopefully the Lennon bingo days of team selections are over

    You are absolutely right when you compare it man for man. However, our squad was light before the window and that situation hasn't changed, we have been a striker short all season, we can't afford any injuries at CB and we haven't replaced the pace of Boyle.

    Certainly not writing off the new signings and looking forward to seeing how they develop. But you cannot argue that our squad is short with some glaring deficiencies.

    I would say the balance of the squad is better now with a genuine playmaker in and what seems like an upgrade up front and hopefully Darnell hits the ground running. Milligan can also cover centre back areas. I think we will do ok as players who maybe underperformed the first part of the season hopefully grow a bit and contribute more under new management.

    I’m obviously seeing the window different to a lot of folk. Replaced MacLaren with McNulty, moved on a number of players contributing nowt, signed three midfielders (everyone is moaning about the midfield) and replaced Ambrose (who is a sore one admittedly) with a highly rated young defender. Oh, and Allan on a pre-contract.

    On paper, seems pretty good to me.

    Agree with that Milligan can cover centre back and midfield, the obvious area that needs cover would be a target man striker as back up and option off the bench and possibly a winger however maybe the new manager wouldnt play with that type of shape and want full backs providing width. Horgan and Agyepong if/when fit should cover that. Actually pretty happy with the squad and the balance appears better to me.

    I agree..especially under the trying circumstances of the last 7 days...I think we've done OK. Allan not coming is disappointing but I don't think it's as disastrous as some are making out as we've got Gauld till the Summer and then a hungry player coming in on a 3 year deal. The big losses for me are Efe and Porto- our luck with injuries this season has been just horrendous and can surely only improve??

    I'm happy with our efforts under the circumstances.

    We'll done the board and recruitment team. I have a feeling Gael could be an astute signing

    Considering everything that's occurred over the last week it's a pretty good outcome, should hopefully get top 6. Need to push on now with decent appointment of new first team coach.

    All in all a decent transfer window, regardless of the last few games with Lennon in charge we have a decent squad, just hope the new manager whoever he may be will get the best out of them

    Totally agree, even Bigirimana as big a surprise and the fact I was never that impressed with him will get my full support. I think the window has been decent and I know it's the old "if my aunty had baws" argument but if Lennon hadn't gone and Efe was still here I think we would all have been quite content with the window

    Decent signings in my view, looking forward to seeing them on the pitch soon.

    I think before the window opened we needed a bit more pace with Tam always being injured, to then lose Boyle I thought a winger would be a certainty. I don’t see us playing with wingers so it’s more of an option to bring off the bench, the fact we didn’t sign one is a bit disappointing, I hope Tam manages to stay fit.

    I thought we needed two forwards in addition to what was already here, to just have a one in/one out Is a bit disappointing, even if the one in appears to be a big upgrade on the one out. I thought we look for a big lump of a forward to have as a plan b.

    To lose Porteous and Ambrose but only bring in one leaves us a body down.

    I like the look of the midfielders we’ve brought in so hopefully that makes a difference.

    Overall, I enjoyed the excitement of yesterday and well done to the club getting so much business done in difficult circumstances. If we can get a good manager in quickly hopefully he can cobble together a decent starting 11 and is able to play it consistently, I worry about our attacking options if we get a couple of injuries though or if we’re looking to the bench for someone to change the game.

    Well done Hibs. A lot of hard work yesterday.

    Icing on the cake would be Efe having a change of heart and signing a new deal, but that is probably out of our hands.

    I’m looking forward to seeing the new guys adapt. I think our midfield looks much better balanced now, McNulty in and Jamie out probably a step forward.

    At least McNulty was choking to get here
