You ken fine well, J. He was injured! Nane I think.



Rae and Naysmith will skoosh the SPL. Probably says more about the standard of the league than their ability, but they'll do well at Aberdeen. By all accounts Rae was excellent last term.

Sean, not sure if Anderson played or not. Even if he played he wasn't value for money.

Rae has been injury prone all his days so I don't see him being value either.

Naysmith is 34 I think and has been a good pro all his days, however he is now slow.

I don't particularly want Maybury or Kerr but they're experienced and would give us more than Anderson and Rae, at least they get on the park.

Do you honestly think he would have signed for longer thus taking his future (and those all important signing on fees) out of his own hands? There is no way on this earth Vaz Te saw the SPL or Hibs in particular as a long term career move. Given the talent he so obviously has a short term loan should have been beneficial to Hibs and the player. Unfortunately he was willing to take the dosh and give very little back in return. That's not the clubs fault.

Spot on, Vaz Te played for us on only a fraction of what he got elsewhere, in order to get himself fit. The deal was never going to go beyond it.

Is this the Aberdeen team that finished bottom 6 and we beat in the semi final that have lost 9 players!! Whats with the Aberdeen love in. The are as bad as us with no training centre and an out of date stadium. Arnason and Fyvie will be huge losses for them. Vernon is there only striker. I think with our youngsters we have a better squad than them. But time will tell.

See movements for both below. All 9 Aberdeen players were first team players. Most of ours were loan deals or fringe players.

ABERDEEN

Players IN (3 players)
1. Jonny Hayes - winger (Inverness CT)
2. Niall McGinn - winger (Celtic)
3. Gary Naismith


Players OUT (9 players)
1. Kari Arnason
2. Rory McArdle
3. Darren Mackie
4. Youl Mawene
5. Mo Chalali
6. Yoann Folly
7. Danny Uchechi
8. Mark Reynolds (loan end)
9. Fraser Fyvie (Wigan)

HIBERNIAN

Players IN (5 players so far)

1. Tim Clancy - defender (Motherwell)
2. James McPake - defender (Coventry City)
3. Paul Cairney - midfielder (Partick Thistle)
4. Ben Williams - goalkeeper (Colchester United)
5. Leigh Griffiths - forward (Wolves, loan)
(in talks with Maybury, Forsyth and Kerr)

Players OUT(14 players)
1. Graham Stack
2. Matt Doherty (end of Loan)
3. Richie Towell (end of LOAN)
4 James McPake (End of Loan)
5. Francombe (end of LOAN)
6. Ian Murray
7. Sean Welsh (Partick T)
8. Tom Soares (End of loan)
9. Garry O'Connor
10. Lee Griffiths (end of LOAN)
11. Roy O'Donovan (end of LOAN)
12. Martin Scott (LOAN to Ross County)
13. Isaiah Osbourne (Blackpool)
14. Mark Brown

Is Leigh Griffiths a different player from Lee Griffiths? Most of the players Aberdeen have lost are dung whereas they've made decent signings. They lost a couple of decent central midfielders but are well covered there. I think they'll be top half. Not 3rd though. I think the yams Dundee United and Motherwell are fighting out 2nd-4th

I honestly don't know, but it was just a very short contract, which he has now gone on to prove how good he was. I think I'm really curious as to why we allow these players to slip through our hands, maybe as you say he only wanted it for his fitness, that being the case, let these players get fit elsewhere as we need stability not fly by nights.

[basehibby]

Where are all the rumours

I fully expect to see a number of signings made over the next month or so. I'd absolutely LOVE it if we were to make them before the big KO but the reality is likely to be different - Fenlon has a massive rebuilding job on his hands afterall and it was never likely to happen overnight.

I have read that Pat is desperate to bring in more players and rightly so - a big solid striker is a must and the midfield is still a creative dead zone from what I can see - SO DAGNABIT! WHERE ARE ALL THOSE PESKY RUMOURS

Anyone care to summarise?

Vaz Te was never ever staying with us in a million, trillion, zillion years. Dredging this up over and over again is bordering on self harming.

Arnason, Fyvie and Reynolds were arguably there best three players!

I think it will all come down to injuries. No-one can afford to get any key players injured as they have no back up. Everyone has very small limited squads this year. Time for the youngsters to shine I hope! This is where we might have an advantage. Crawford and Stanton are quality.

[YehButNoBut]

A lot of rumours going round that we will be signing Jason Scotland this week.

Would be happy with that if still the same player he was a season or 2 ago.

It dates back to when he was refused a work permit when with DU.

The panel that denied it all had Hibs connections.

When you say a lot of rumours do you mean you've read it somewhere or been told it by a few folk or that you've read it on facebook/football rumours website?

You have a cheek putting a rumour about a possible Hibs signing on this thread. It is meant to be about Aberdeen being better than us or to criticise our players.

At 33 I think he could still do some real damage in the SPL. He's suited to the game, experienced and powerful, fortunately he is the type of striker that can peak for a longer period as he doesn't necessarily rely on pace to be effective. Would be a very good signing in my opinion and would slot right into a 4-2-3-1, yet, I can't really see it happening.

Jason Scotland was apparently one of the trialists for hibs u'20s yesterday

Would be surprising giving he's just signed a 1yr contract with Ipswich. But would be amazing if it was true.

[yekimevol]

did jason scotland not sign a new contract last month ?

[The Modfather]

If it is to be believed that Jason Scotland was one of the trialists for the U20s the other day,could one of the guys on the working group that meets up with Hibs find out what our scouting "network" actually entails? Sounds like when we need a new player someone fires up Football Manager 06 and has a look through the SPL.

[S4uzee]

Anyone 'in the know' know if this Jason Scotland rumour is concrete? Strange if he was a trialist as surely you would know what your getting with him!

[Hibeesmad]

I haven't got a clue who the trialists were yesterday, I think one of them was the nigerian guy and I've been told the other is Scotland but he played in a friendly for Ipswich the other day against Luton and if he hadn't signed a new contract I don't think he would have been playing.

Bloody doubt it.

Any word or rumours on Lee Miller or Sandaza?

Either would be fine with me

On the match thread, Big Mo said "The trialist who played #9 was called Patrick something" Whilst on HibsTV highlights # 9 is clearly shown as white, so probably not Nigerian, and definitely not Jason Scotland
