    McNulty in the EEN saying he expects Hibs to try to get him back and that he'd like to come back too.
    Interesting how he seems like he wants it permanent too.

    Suggests to me that wages have already been discussed and wouldn’t be an issue

    Boateng looks ok. Rumour just at this stage but I think, as we've seen, Scottish football takes physicality to another level, hope whoever we bring in are able to cope with that. No surprise that Aberdeen (clever team who know when to play anti-football with 5-6 big brutes) have done well up here. I know the difference between down south and here isn't as big but there is a gulf in refereeing and what is allowed and isn't.

    Clips of Boateng playing suggests, as we know, players seem to get so much more time in other leagues. A few times I was expecting a crunching tackle as he was jogging with the ball but it never came.

    Importance of being acquainted with a style of football can never be overstated. Omeonga proved to be a big player because he adjusted very quickly to our game. Not all players do. Kamberi is struggling with our game (and poor refereeing).

    Boateng does look mobile though which would be a plus as that is what Bartley and Milligan sorely lacked at times.

    Exciting times. I'm hoping we see movement this week and/or next. Pre-season is just around the corner (as strange as that is) and we also need a few new signings to show off the new kit.

    I wouldn't be surprised to see Kamberi move on, there were rumours he fell out with his manager at Grasshopper's and here with Lennon, he also comes across as a bit huffy and petulant if things aren't going his way, this season has been a perfect example of a player playing out of skin to get a contract and then seeing exactly what we get when he signs, apart from his spell on loan his scoring isn't that great tbh less than 1in4. I think McNulty understands the single striker role better and will work harder for the team, probably a better fit for a Heckingbottom style team.

    Been told we are after Hiram Boateng.

    23 year year old who is not a free agent after his contract expired at Exceter.

    Big physical lad who is very skilful on the ball. Very similar to Glen Kamara on the ball.

    Fits in with what we expect Heckingbottom to go after.
    Is he any good? Then, hurry up and hire 'um, Hecky!

    A couple of folk calling for a previously unheard of player to be signed up immediately.

    I realise this is a forlorn hope, but people need to be patient.

    The transfer window doesn't even open for another 3 weeks!

    We're going to have a total of 15 fun weeks of angst, excitement, criticism, bed wetting, blind optimism and transfer window bingo, but it won't start until June 11.

    It closes at midnight on Monday 2 September.

    There's a valuable prize* for the first person to spot a post lambasting the board/Petrie/Heckingbottom for the lack of signings before the window opens.

    (*There's no prize).

    I admire your optimism in your calls for patience.

    The date the window opens is completely irrelevant though. We can still sign players between now and the window opening, we just can’t register them to play for us until then, as there’s no games in that period that doesn’t matter though.

    We can sign players at anytime, we just can't register them with the SFA until the window opens. "Transfer window" is a misnomer, it should actually be called a registration window. (eg when we signed Eoin Doyle in December but couldn't register him until Jan 1st)

    I did say it was a forlorn hope

    I do realise we can sign players early, meaning we actually have 18 weeks of silly season, not just 15 :woo hoo:, but most agents, players and clubs like to keep their options open.

    These 3 weeks also allow players etc to take holidays.

    September the second seems a long, long way off. I wonder how many people will have been mutually consented from here by then ...

    I can only see Whittaker and Slivka being released by the club out of who we have left.

    Hecky has given a bit of a hostage to fortune by stating he wants the bulk of new signings in by the time training restarts in late June.

    Cue meltdown on here if there isn't much between now and then

    Lennon wanted his players in for pre-season last year.

    Cue wailing and gnashing of teeth.

    I know we have struggled to beat Aberdeen but I know which team I prefer watching and it’s not them We need to find players that can u lock defences Fraser Murray’s chip over the defence for McNulty s goal was great but Fraser naturally tired and then made wrong choices ,hopefully with pre season under his belt he has more to offer next Season even if primarily off the Bench
    Scotty ,we know what he can do
    McNulty took the goal well but was offside a lot But if he is coming back we need another scoring striker Shaw for some reason has stagnated a bit so remains to be seen if he is going to be anything more than third choice striker so next Season is huge for him if he is to progress with us
    Kamberri has not been consistent this Season and I Hope Heck can get him sorted for next season But if he isn’t enjoying the new wide role Heck has been playing him in then with Boyle back we need to find a position that gets the best out of him
    Looking forward to the New Season though with Optimism and see no reason with the right Signings we can’t be chasing that third spot

    So long as he’s better than our last Boateng.
    Indeed Arsenal u21 captain, he was quite simply one of the worst players I have ever seen. Watched a reserve derby at Livingston and he was playing centre back and ducking out of the way of the ball.

    I know you can't read much into a YouTube highlights video but
    his was quite possibly the worst I've ever seen.

    He must have enjoyed that particular move as I remember him doing it at st.johnstone too. He may have been sent off that day I can't remember

    i remember a game at ER when i think he came on at HT, it was a total mud bath and he left the pitch at FT looking like a mannequin from the club shop, absolutely spotless

    Not surprising, he played 25 minutes of football for Hibs at home across 2 sub appearances.

    I liked Barker but think he is one of them now he’s left that is overrated.

    He could do some very good things but his end product and decision making were poor a lot of the time.

    He flattered to deceive a lot however near the end of the season his form seemed to pick up and he got a couple of goals and assists.

    Funny when you compare him to Horgan (who doesn’t seem to get much credit) Horgan stars are quite a bit better.

    Horgan
    Goals - 7
    Assists - 7
    Games - 35

    Barker
    Goals - 2
    Assists - 4
    Games - 29

    Now I really do like Barker, he has great pace and close control, he can beat a man like he’s not even there. His injuries worry me though as he missed a fair chunk of the season with us and again this season with Preston.

    All that said would I take him back? Absolutely. But the deal needs to be right.

    This is spot on. Barker has brilliant potential but his end product was definitely lacking. The kind of player who could make us big bucks if he came and had 2 good seasons though.

    Barker for me was coming onto a game big time towards the end of the season when it seemed everything clicked with him. If we could replicate that form he would be a class signing.

    Agreed. Was pretty average until then though. Missed some big chances early on in the season.
