Nobody been out buying a Sun this morning to find out what Alan Nixon’s hibs transfer scoop is?

I’m guessing it’ll be that we’re trying to keep McNulty on loan next season.

Only thing I can see online is that Heck has met Scott Allan to discuss his role within the team next season which is on the Scott Allan thread.

Yeah thats what i saw too ... What a big signing he will be for us , need to build the midfield around him.

[SHODAN]

So the Sun's big scoop is "Hibs transfer target that is already coming is looking forward to coming."

[Robbo6-2]

Hes saying some midfielder from Carlisle.

Jamie Devitt.

Hibs and Hearts after him, seems a Levien type signing, 28 year old, played majority of time in lower leagues of England

Also says Hearts are interested.

[Unseen work]

His wiki doesn’t inspire much confidence but I don’t really pay much attention to that.

Seems a bit like Scotty Allan, maybe just wants strength in depth.

Seen him twice for Carlisle and he was decent both times probably their best player. Overall standard was not great so hard to tell but Aberdeen signed Cosgrove from Carlisle and he has done well.
Pressley is their manager now so will probably result in him going to hearts.

Let Kamberi go in the summer. Waste of a jersey.

I don't think Flo is a waste of a jersey. Last season and at the start of this season he proved that he is a goal scorer. We have not been in a postion to play to his strengths this season. He was a left sided midfielder at Grasshopper and I can why they let him go. It was us that used him as a striker and he showed how effective he can be in a 3-5-2 formation. I think with Scottie Allan, Boyler etc around Flo will start scoring again next season. But I wonder if we will see that formation again anytime soon. I guess that would depend on the summer recruitment. But I don't want to give up on Flo.

The only strikers I remember us being linked with this past January were Cummings, Shankland & McNulty

Were we not linked with a striker Lenny worked with at Bolton

Did he not try to get Emile Heskey he first arrived ?

[Unseen work]

We were linked with Tom Eaves in January.

Surely it will be up to the player where he wants to go rather than who the manager of his present club is?

You would hope so mate. Also pressley has taken Carlisle from 3rd to 9th and out play offs since January so he might not rate his opinion much.

Can't remember where i seen it, probably Twitter or somewhere so probably nonsense, but we are supposedly interested in a Young Brighton player who plays in their U23 squad. Supposedly he's highly rated and we have done a lot of work already on the deal. Not sure if it's a loan or permanent or even what position the guy plays. Not much to go on unfortunately so could be utter nonsense

Looks like methadone Mick. Swap the tour of East Mains for a tour of the Kirkgate, and he's ours.

[we are hibs]

Ryan Williamson who were previously linked with has been released by Dunfermline.

I really don't know? There were no names mentioned, can't even remember this rumour from last season.

Was he released or was his contract at an end. He was in the Scotland u21 squad just a year ago I'm sure.

That the Right Back? If so wouldn’t be against bringing him in if he’s got potential. Young and played plenty of football and could be looking for the next step. It would be good timing as we look towards David Gray turning 32 nest season.

Although I admit I’ve not seen a lot of him.

Hertz have hackitt on a pre contract they are after Divitt next they will be after Launchitt, oops I forgot Berras already there.

[Souter96Mac]

Would definitely take that Eaves. Reckon he'll have a fair amount of interest.

Just watched them, both nicely taken goals. Reminds me of Andy Carroll when he was actually fit at Newcastle.

Gutted that Argyle got relegated seen them a few times recently when visiting down there great support a player that I’ve always thought we should have gone for past couple of seasons is Graham Carey certainly for a midfielder bangs in a number of goals box to box player excellent left foot gives everything a favourite with the argyle fans now they’re down wouldn’t be hard to get him back to Scotland

Isn't he a number 10? We've got plenty of them signed up for next season already. We need to sign a real hard man of a midfielder imo.

[Crab apple]

Interesting seeing the PFA Scotland teams of the year for each division. Anyone seen the two Ayr defenders? They have been picked up by Coventry and Dundee Utd.

I dont think we necessarily need 'hard and physical' in that area Dexter, simply energetic, mobile and athletic. Bartley and Milligan cost us goals because they've no pace and they both get needlessly caught in possession. I'd be looking for a couple of defensively minded midfielders who not only break up play and offer physical presence, but can take us up the pitch more and play passes to our wide players or more attacking players. A Victor Palsson type would do me

Strikers aside, I very much think this transfer window is about the less than glamorous signings that allow those other players to play.
I know we need some strength in depth in the attacking roles but there's only so many strikers, number 10s and wide players you can crowbar into a starting XI.

At some point we need the players that let those guys play and much as I want to like Slivka and Milligan I don't think they're the ones to bring us the results we need next season.
I might be wrong and a pre-season under PH might be just the thing to get the player out of Slivka that I feel is there but not convinced yet.
