Why are we not attracting more than them though?

Disgrace on our commercial departments half Imo.

Given that our commercial dept are turning away sponsors and we are no longer taking money from HSL then I think it’s fair to ask why we are losing out on players to Aberdeen?

Far too obvious my friend.

What attributes should a midfield enforcer/holding player have?
Genuine question to the Hibs Net posters.

Be interesting to see some of the replies.

Good solid tackler, link midfield and defense. Be able to read the game and play the easy passes.

Bit more from Hecky on it here....

Don't like the last paragraph. Sounds like we're looking for a combative midfielder and thats it. I think we're short of a striker.

Yes, because hsl and our sponsorship would add up to 5m per year.

Try and find an oil well.

Fair play, if Aberdeen are paying Funso Ojo an extra £5m a year then there’s no chance we could have signed him.
Still, every little helps and a sponsor might have helped a little bit.

I think Omeonga could play this role for Hibs... Still only 23, likes to tackle, energetic, tenacious and decent on the ball. Could he perhaps adapt his game to play as a holding midfielder? Cost less than Ojo and has 4 more years in him to develop. Just a thought..

A rumour on twitter hibs are signing marc roberts CB on loan for a season.source is bcfc fans.

Every chance he could play that role. My concern is that PH didn’t play him there when Milligan was here and then there’s the what if he tries him and he just doesn’t suit the role. We are left without a major piece of the puzzle until January. I’d much rather find someone suited for the role instead, than gamble.

Don't see the point of this signing, and I suspect in any case it probably isn't true.

Just posting the rumour bud.the interesting point though is he played under hecky at barnsley so we might think we are covered centrally but on loan no risk involved,so not totally inconceivable imo.

If he could be disciplined and understand the role I think he would be just what we are missing. 5"10" dynamic in his approach to the game, doesn't go missing. I was thinking about Gattuso who played for the club formerly know as The Rangers and the impact he had there and then later with Milan & Italy. Both the same height and Gattuso developed that role later in his career. Just a thought.

[Unseen work]

Can’t imagine the Roberts rumour being true, we already have 4 very good options at centre half. It is literally the last position we need.

Defensive/centre mid x 2
Striker
Pacey winger (as I don’t see Newell as an out and out winger. One injury to Boyle or Horgan and we’re struggling)

I think

Omeonga plus another unknown defensive mid who will be a starter
Mcnulty
Pacey winger on loan.

Porto will be be a wee bit off naw?

Daz and paul get injured ur struggling in there.happened last season when porto got a run with efe.
Think other areas needed more aswell.
But I wouldnt rule out another cb.

Hecky might want to play 3 at the back.

True, the more i think about it I really don’t get how Daz got a 4 year deal. I don’t get why they incorporated the player mentor and player within the same contract?

On defensive mids, would anyone take Aaron Tshibola? Last year of his contract and was a key part of Killies success last year.

Was simply to give him an ongoing role at the club - no playing commitments made - could be coaching, could be ambassadorial...thought it was a great touch - good to see people who care about the club being kept around the place....

I always thought that Tshibola was pretty rubbish whenever I saw him last season.

Can’t argue with how well Killie did though so maybe he was better or more effective than he looked.

We lost out on this player because circumstances changed, we ended up making a £125k offer plus a wage packed we thought was favourable for this player, Aberdeen offered more, we felt what we offered was enough for this particular player. We're not going to just up our offer just to get one over Aberdeen, Hecky has stated he only wants players who want to be here, not mercenaries just out for the cash.

Young lad Sadiki will step up, highly thought of. Hecky said in his interview that Ryan will join in with training this week but is a month or so behind everyone, it'll not take him long to catch up.

So we got into a bidding war with Aberdeen over Ojo.

With any auction you have to know your limit. What you can afford. What the item is worth to you. Can you get the same elsewhere for less. When to stop bidding.

No point winning the bidding just for the sake of it.

Buyer's regret they call it.

You don't worry about the other guy outbidding you. They have weighed up the factors as they see it and bid more. Or they have panicked and overspent.

Time will tell who got the good deal.

Too much angst on here with people using it to have a kick at the club. Probably the same people who would have been on here having a go about signing some no mark from S****horpe if the original deal had quietly gone through without the circus that ensued.

Get a grip.

Not saying I'd agree with it, but just to put out a counter-argument, with Aberdeen finishing higher in the league than us every year during this decade ambition could be put in the mix, but with a new chairman that brought a positivity and debt free environment plus the added HSL contribution, with our bigger crowds, better infrastructure and the fact 12 first team squad players have left since the end of last season, I suppose the final league position will be the decisive indicator.

Good read.
The likelihood of us needing an accomplished defensive midfielder in the side for the upcoming League Cup ties is slim so there is still time to bring in an alternative to Ojo.
In the meantime why not give young Ben Stirling a chance. He has all the physical attributes, has a good temperament and is a decent passer. Sometimes the solution to your problems is right there in front of you.

Agreed....in the cold light of day is hes chosen Aberdeen over us because of money well quite frankly Hecky is spot on...we dont want him here. He is clearly all about chasing the £££ unlike some of our other summer signings who have turned down more cash to sign for us (Doidge and James). We now need to move on to other targets and forget him but we really need a midfielder or 2 in the next 3 weeks before the league begins
