Kerr and Porto 😍

Kerr is a player I’d really like to see us bring in. I’ve yet to see him have a bad game against us. Dealt with anything we’ve thrown at him easily

Ken apart from the 4-1 game. Haha.

He's a saints players though so he'll look class for them and then turn out a dud for us

[Unseen work]

It’s a funny one because individually I think our three centre backs we’ve played this season in McGinn, Porteous and Hanlon are very good for this level.

All 3 have been called up to the SNT this season.

Porteous makes the most obvious mistakes, the other 2 don’t make many. I appreciate they’ll make some but no more than others in the league.

We also take a lot more risk in our play which exposes the back 3 more. They play with big gaps between them on the ball and all step into play when the opportunity arises.

Compare that to St Johnstone who play Rooney, Kerr, Gordon, McCourt and Tansey as 352/541. They’re a lot more defensive minded and as such they look more defensively solid.

If Hibs played the way Davidson did our fans would be raging and say it’s brutal

I think Porteous will be the only to leave so I’d love to see us go for Kerr, despite him playing on the right of a back 3. Gordon plays central too and impressed and McCourt is very good and comfortable on the ball. I just think McGinn and Hanlon will be here to stay another couple of years yet.

Is there a chance?

Is there a chance?

I can’t see it. Kerr is an obv replacement for Porto. We need a good left sided CB to replace Hanlon in due course.

[Brightside]

Jamie McCart would be the left sided CB. Any other stand out young LCBs

Who were the 3 players mentioned?

They signed a highly rated young South American in January but he’s not had a look in as they want him to settle in before throwing him into first team football.

From a completely biased perspective I think a loan to us first of all would be the ideal introduction to British football.

Caicedo is from Ecuador.

Ordinarily I’d say there’s no chance of us getting him and he’ll be off to the Championship. He’s 19 and already has 4 Ecuador caps.

If we can win the cup and be guaranteed a good number of European games I think we’d be a much more attractive proposition for getting they sort of guys on loan.

I see Ivan Toney at Brentford is linked with moves to Everton and Leicester.

Signed last summer for an initial fee of £5m, scored 30 goals so far this season

I wouldn’t be surprised if he made Brentford close to £200m profit when you consider he’ll probably be sold for £40-50m and they’re favourites to go up in the playoffs, pretty much because of him and his goals.

Why am I posting this? Because he wanted to go to Celtic last summer but Celtic were pissing about putting in insulting bids so missed out

Celtic signed Ajeti instead who has scored 6 goals.

We could’ve done with our CB hoofing it up the park on Saturday as oppose to trying to play out

Really think we need a no nonsense CB in there

Possibly but you wouldn't swap Gallagher for Porteous.

On that occasion you are right, I think the novelty of a centre half doing that all the time would soon wear off though.

Celtic actually had him in their training ground last summer and never managed to get it done.

The club who's fans said sjm would be a squad player not guaranteed a start, despite being told by Hibs fans he would be the best player at the club,and they also said £1.5m is a good deal for Hibs.🤔🤔🤔

Playing every week in the Premiership and scored 10 goals in his last 19 from midfield to help Scotland qualify for their first tournament in over 20 years.

Wouldn’t get a game for Celtic though, no way.

Would have to be a 3 at the back, because neither is ahead of Hanlon.

Arguable. Porto certainly has the potential to be a level above PH.

He does but he is totally right footed. We really need a left sided player to replace PH.

I'm sure many guys do. When he shows it we can discuss hanlon moving out the side.

I'm not sure we need a left sided player to replace Hanlon. Celtic for years had 2 right sided center halfs when dominating the league and Rangers have predominantly player with 2 right sided center halfs whilst Katic has been injured.

If we want to be able to go to a back 3 sometimes then a left footed centre back definitely helps.

Yeah, it's definitely preferable but I don't think it's a requirement.

Doig would fit into that left side of a back 3 quite well IMO.

You really limit your defensive options and ability to play out comfortably from the back if you dont have left sided players in there. If we played Daz or Porto as our LCB we would get mullered.

Celtic seemed to manage fairly well by winning 13 trophies in a row and a quadruple treble.

In an ideal world you’d have a right and left footer centre half and a right and left footed centre mid and probably a right and left footed strike pairing.

It’s not massively essential though. If the players are decent they’ll be fine.

If Celtic defenders were put under the same amount of pressure Hibs and lower teams are you'd have seen a much bigger impact. I'd need to go back and look at those Celtic players but i will assume they were relatively decent with both feet? Daz and Porto both really struggle with their left foot. Anyone who has played as a defender even at the lowest level will tell you how hard it is to have no left foot and play on the left side of defence.

I want us to sign Kerr as i think he is a quality young player but we really need to find a left sided player to replace PH (over the next couple of year)

A lefty is not vital but a good player is, Van Dijk and Maguire are right footers but are comfortable on the left, important thing is to get a good player.

[Unseen work]

I think 2 right footers is fine in 4 at the back as they’re more protected and have the out ball of the full back.

3 at the back is a different story though and I think your left sided should be left footed.

Wouldn’t want to waste Doig there.

McCart would be the standout but I can’t see us replacing Hanlon.
