If we don't try and sign him, there's something far wrong.

**Chorley Hibee** · 12-09-2019 07:49 AM

Get him signed up!

**~~Hibeesmad~~** · 12-09-2019 07:50 AM

Celtic, Hibs and Aberdeen are probably the only teams he would go to. Would take him back in a heartbeat but with so many options at the back now, I cant see us going in for him.

Then again if Mathie get's the Killie role maybe he will try and get him in there.

**Barman Stanton** · 12-09-2019 07:53 AM

We should be heading to his house with a contract and a box of the finest cuban cigars right away.

We don’t have any options as good as Efe. If we are not trying to get him then we are just planning for failure.
It’s probably too late to save Heckingbottom now anyway but he doesn’t help himself saying he has no interest in McGeogh then not getting a defensive mid.

He’s better than all the options we have but we won’t sign him. We’ve spent the budget on 23 right backs.

Agreed, having to loan out a left back to bring in a right back on loan suggests the tin is empty.

If Hibs don’t even make contact there is something far wrong. He would stroll back in and instantly be the best defender at the club.

This. Squad is already choked with below average defenders. We'd need to cut losses on one of them and look to punt them in Jan. Cant see Heckingbottom doing that. He'd look a joke admitting his signings aren't up to it this early on

This. As you said, he would stroll back in and be our best player.

Then again, I won’t be surprised if we didn’t. Heckingbottom said no to McGeouch so I won’t be surprised if he said the same for Efe.

**CRAZYHIBBY** · 12-09-2019 08:12 AM

Signing the best available players is not the hibs way

Is it definitely known he said no to McGeoch? Genuine question as I didn't come on here much in the summer.

It's a Hibs Net FACT 😂

**~~660~~** · 12-09-2019 08:17 AM

Bring him home. The boy is sheer class

***BILLYHIBS*** · 12-09-2019 08:19 AM

Sooner or later Wee Ron’s gonna have to put his hand in his pocket to get us out of this mess

No one can blame him for biding his time

We will have a better idea after Saturday

**we are hibs** · 12-09-2019 08:20 AM

Too late. already *****ed the budget away on a few league 1/2 players.

He's only signed one centre back to be fair and imo Jackson has been better than Hanlon and McGregor this season.

**~~calumhibee1~~** · 12-09-2019 08:22 AM

We should be finding the money from somewhere to get him back. Whether that leaves us overstocked on centre halves or not, the guy is the best CB in the league outwith the OF.. and possibly even including them and I’d suspect he’d also fancy coming back here.

**Paisley Hibby** · 12-09-2019 08:25 AM

He would bring a spark of excitement and skill to our team; something we badly miss. I'd get enthusiastic again about the thought of my 250 mile round trip to Easter Road on match days (and I'm sure I'm not alone). So if he's available and we don't try to sign him then Hibs have lost the plot and I probably won't get much use out of my season ticket this season.

**~~The 90+2~~** · 12-09-2019 08:26 AM

Bring him back or we riot!

Agree with this. As it stands Hanlon and Mcgregor are our weaker of our 4 centre half’s imo.

Efe, Porteous and Jackson would be very good options.

Can’t see it however

This.

Another car crash of a thread developing nicely.

HSL held money would be a start

***Vault Boy*** · 12-09-2019 08:39 AM

With Daz out with a pretty bad injury and Porteous only getting back to fitness after a serious one himself, it'd make a lot of sense.

Mon home Efe.

***The Modfather*** · 12-09-2019 08:39 AM

We should try and bring him back, he would also go some way to alleviating the problems we have moving the ball from defence to midfield.

If signing him meant looking to move on the likes of Hanlon or fast tracking McGregors transition into the non playing side, so be it. Porteous & Ambrose were about the only plus points last season.

Those three as part of a 3-5-2 would be rock solid.
