Makes sense that he'd be off to Celtic with Lennon in charge. Shame as I was hoping he'd be back here. Really exciting player.

Unless it's a very big name who still has plenty left in the tank we shouldn't be signing a player over 30 years old IMO. We got one season out of Milligan with no sell on, Whittaker has been disappointing and the likes of Hutton wouldn't improve us.
Experience for me only counts for anything if it's experience with Hibernian - that's why McGregor, Gray, Stevenson, Hanlon, Boyle are so invaluable. They know our club inside out and are a great advert for players to come to us. If they want to launch their career to the next level like McGinn then we are a great platform. If they want a long career, then we have players like that.
32 and 33 year olds may have 2-3 years at Premiership level left maximum and will lose their value quickly. By the time they know the club inside out they're past it.
Only pay fees for players under 26 years old, free transfers for 27-30 and only sign players above that in extreme individual circumstances. Settled teams, potential to create extra value or players we can enjoy the benefit of for some time.

Patrick Bauer from Charlton being mentioned.
Can’t see us needing another defender and if we do we’ve no chance if we’re competing with Charlton, Blackburn and Rangers.

We stand to lose a lot of experience from our side over the next few years. Some of it we could probably live without (as tbh we are fairly blessed with it right now) but we'll always need at least a couple of older players on the pitch, so how we go about replacing that experience will be interesting to see.
We've had some cracking oldies in the past, but the management team's job will be to sift the Sauzees and the Burridges from the Kujis and the Johanssons.
There have been times in the past that we've clearly lacked leadership on the park, I don't want to go back to those days.

The two you've picked kind of prove my point - we should be signing players with at least three or four seasons in mind, not one or two like we've done with Milligan, Whittaker etc.

Someone at 32-33 who hasn't grown and learned with the team in the last few seasons is almost always a waste of a wage IMO. They're not going to be worth anything to us in a monetary value and a player who signed aged 28-29 and has had three seasons with us and have earned the respect of the rest of the team through their efforts and achievements for us will be 100 times more valuable for team spirit and morale than a "leader" who has been parachuted in without introduction.
There are exceptions - Burridge, Sauzee but they're truly few and far between. A player who has been in the dressing room for 3-4 seasons and has been coached by our coaching staff to lead and take responsibility is the best possible outcome IMO.Last edited by Northernhibee; 04-06-2019 at 10:11 AM.

Gonna be a long 8 weeks.

He'll benefit more than anyone from Scott Allan's arrival.

Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.

Aberdeen have never had it so lucky in the last few years with us, the huns and hearts in the championship.
I really hope we can start to chip away at their over-bloated egos in the next few seasons.

Us and hearts were relegated because we were absolutley awful, that’s like fans saying we were lucky we finished 5th this season because United, Dunfermline and teams like that weren’t in the top division and if they were it would have made a difference.
Aberdeen have vastly improved over the past 7 years or so, became consistent and consistently finished 2/3rd.
Were a massive club, but we were relegated as we were awful. If we were in the top division we wouldn’t have made the slightest difference to Aberdeen or where the finished
Getting relegated turned out quite well for us as the club for a complete freshen up.

That's pretty lucky considering we average more and are behind them financially.
