Just read PF's interview on the Evening News website about spl summer singings. it mentions about McPake, Clancy and Cairney being brought in and Claros having now departed? Checked hibs website and no mention of it? Anyone heard anything? Anyone care if it was true?

Here comes another argument about grammar.

[MrSmith]

Has been discussed and have to admit, it took me a bit of reading to get my head around it! As said before: "all in the commas".

opportunity to begin building the side he wants, his dealings in January made with the sole objective of keeping Hibs in the SPL, the upshot being the vast majority of arrivals at that time were on loan with all but McPake, who like Clancy and Cairney has signed a two-year deal, and Honduran midfielder Jorge Claros having now departed.


Read like this:

the upshot being the vast majority of arrivals at that time were on loan with all but McPake and Claros having now departed.

I can see that now cheers. Wasnt sure if this had been brought up in another thread.

[GreenPJ]

The article itself though is surely nonsense. He must know his budget as season tickets are the funding mechanism for signings.

Yeah im thinking the same... overhyped a wee bit for me... thought he was going to be a playmaker and tough, turned out to be the opposite for me.

Far too busy ratcheting up my moral indignation about Rangers to care either way.

Claros? - .

Given the build up before he signed on loan, I don't think I have ever been so consistently underwhelmed by any other Hibs player.

I don’t remember anyone waxing lyrical about the Giraffe like they were about Claros before he arrived...

Hopefully Claros is gone

Dont understand the clamour to get rid of Claros. Everyone should have known from Jan till end of season he would struggle with the game here - as pretty much all players coming from the South American league too

Whats he costing us? a player with 40 odd caps for his country and we want rid ASAP

Sure, he may still be gash next year, but if he is not?

who do we replace him with?

he was poor 2nd half last season, but showed enough in glimpses that he had some real quality

here we have a guy who can actually pass and control a football.....thats right, a FOOTBALL player - but we should just send him back due to a poorish few months

I'll never understand hibs.net

Hibs.net is forever full of know-it-alls falling over each other to show off their knowledge of how sheight any given player is

Vaz Te was written off as sheight by a great many Hibbies after failing to settle in his first half dozen games or so - wonder how much he'd go for now???

Claros is another player entirely and I'll admit that I've been disappointed with him on the whole so far - however, I have seen flashes of genuine quality and would not be at all surprised if he started to show that quality much more consistently with a good pre-season behind him and his family in Edinburgh to back him up. He has 6 months left of his loan at ER anyway and I fail to see how building up a tide of negativity about Claros amongst the support is going to help him settle into any kind of form.

Kujabi is another example - how many jumpers-on of the sheight-bandwagon have been falling over themselves to describe Kujabi as the worst defender in the history of football after an admittedly poor outing in the cup final (along with pretty much all of his team mates)? Said bandwagon jumpers conveniently forget the many decent performances he turned in prior to the cup final - including an "on a plate" assist laid on for Gary O'Connor in the opening minutes of the semi vs Aberdeen without which we might never have got to the final anyway. Makes me wonder if some Hibs.netters have been inadvertantly crossbred with goldfish

[Famous Fiver]

Spotted him in a clip on STV news tonight of players traing at East Mains this morning.

How do I know it was this morning? I don't, but the same footage featured James McPake and other new arrivals and I don't think STV would be naughty enough to edit in footage of him training in the rain in the same gear as the others.

If he has gone it must have been this afternoon.

Perhaps there is a more knowledgeable member of Hibs.net who can put me right?

In which case it will be because he can't hack the weather over here.

(Post #13 did use the word 'hopefully'. There is no evidence that Claros has left the building.)

JC is still here, would expect him to play some part on Wednesday.....

Let's give the boy a chance

I object to being banded along with the Hibs.net know alls who apparently take pride in slagging off our players. I rarely criticize our players but I am convinced that Claros is not for us and would like to see him make way for a better prospect. For the record, I was hugely disappointed to see the back of Vas Te who in my opinion showed enough to suggest he could do a great job for us.

Winning will excite the fans, and to do that we need the players the manager wants, not some name that will spike interest in the short term, but do nothing for us if they aren't the right player.

I couldn't care less who the players are, where they've come from or how good their websites are... As long as they win!

Yeah, because all the players Fenlon brought in in January were a huge success weren't they... I don't think we even reached a better points average than Calderwood did last season...

We can't keep getting English league 1 players just in case they can do a job...

This is the level of players we should be looking at...

GK;
-Pernis
-Kello

DEF;
-Micholik
-McManus
-O'Dea

MID;
-McCourt/Riga
-Eremenko (not getting a game according to wiki)
-HAYES (I know he's joint Aberdeen but just mentioned him as Fenlon was an idiot for not getting him on a free)
-Alan Smith (If he is in a fit condition)

FOR;
-Shiels
-Griffiths
-Sandaza

With what money? With season ticket sales down on last season and the newco nightmare still rolling in, no one wants to come to SPL even if we could offer mega bucks.

I think Sparky might be a late August edition if he doesn't move to another English team.

[Brightside]

Wise up. There is no money. If we are very lucky there will be two more "average" signings. Like most teams Youth will play a huge part this season. The fans need to get used to teh idea of younger players coming in and getting a run in the team. I'd expect 1 striker and one more "utility" player to join.
