One up top, wide players bombing on with an aging right back and a inexperienced left back leaving us completely vulnerable to attacks and open us up.

Mallan for example I don’t think will ever be someone we can rely on to perform disciplined defensive duties. That’s not a dig at him, that’s just not his game.
There’ll be many games we don’t need a natural defensive midfielder and it’s refreshing to hear Heckers talking like that, to think we will never need one this season is naive IMO.
Unfortunately I think one game we will need one is coming up on Sunday and I fear a pumping will be coming our way if we’ve got ideas of not offering proper protection to our defence.

We were after Omeonga and McNulty prior to them signing for other clubs, I would imagine since we never got them were still looking for a midfielder and a striker, regardless of what Heckingbottom says in a press conference.
Middleton is coming in for Boyle.
Re the money, Gordon said he has gave us a 7 figure sum to do with what we wish, it will be down to Leanne and George what that gets spent on and by the sounds of it the playing squad won’t be the priority as we already have a good, competitive budget.
If he says we have a bigger budget clubs and players will seek more money.
It makes no difference if Heckingbottom would have signed Allan before, we have him now and Hecky is clearly a fan, said he’s a good player and is clearly a big part of his plans, starting him in games.
The forum is getting very petty, folk arguing and getting upset at the slightest thing.
Theres nothing wrong with someone thinking a Hearts, Aberdeen, Celtic or Rangers signing is superb, good, bad or terrible

There's a thread on the bounce though that seems to suggest that Ron Gordon has been very involved behind the scenes and Leanne and each department at the club are getting business plans together to be submitted to RG.
If this is the case I'm wondering if we'll be keeping back money until these plans are approved? I don't think we need too many more in just one or two.
I also think folk were expecting more razzle dazzle after the takeover but he seems to be taking the patient approach which isn't a bad thing necessarily.

1. playing poker with players, agents and other football clubs about what money we are willing to spend
2. managing the expectations of Hibs supporters and those at 1. above
Once those 2 things have been achieved we can go about our business on an even playing field again.
Club and manager chat on such matters should be ignored for the above reasons.
All that really matters is what actually happens.
P.S. I expect us to get another 2 good quality players in on loan after Middleton's arrivalLast edited by CMurdoch; 09-08-2019 at 04:40 PM.

I still think if a particularly good opportunity comes up to sign someone we’ll try to get it done but it wouldn’t be a very good start for Heckingbottom under Rons reign if he pretty much ignored the boundaries he was set and just wanted more and more.

Hopefully his chat about no more signings is pish otherwise like others I think we are in for a long hard season. Whether we want to call them a defensive midfielder or not we have no one bar Vela who will put their foot in or stand up and be counted when Hearts and Aberdeen are trying to kick us off the park.
I worry our midfield will get steamrollered on Sunday and will struggle against other sides.
Again he could be talking pish but he says we don’t have the budget for more signings, makes the decision not to go with a shirt sponsor all the more bewildering.

Like Yams I'd be surprised if it's ever used outside of Hibs.net. Thankfully.

I actually thought that was hilarious when saw it a few weeks back. Good fun. I was a bit concerned it had something to do with a hospital building in morningside!

Maybe you can explain the thinking behind "its almost as insulting as Yams" as you obviously equate it as such.

Why the need for a defensive midfielder? Best midfield in 20 years had a deep playmaker, a box to box and an attacking playmaker. It's the box to box/ballwinner Mcginn type were missing now, not a Marv type. Although having one to bring on or for Tynecastle could be helpful but it's not a vital thing.
