The Sun's headlines are extremely misleading.

Exactly, he doesn't say he wants to move on just unhappy with game time, typical rag though trying to cause unrest

Transfer BOMBSHELL about a player that has hardly featured this season.

https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/spo...xit-bombshell/

Nothing very extraordinary in what he says.
He is very much part of the plans of Jack Ross and has played well when selected.
Contracted for another year so Hibs can choose to sell him, let him leave for free or keep him.

I reckon Jack will want to keep him more than he wants some of the other midfielders.
Hallberg along with Gogic, Newell and Irvine are generally our three midfield plus the sub.
Ross will also be keen on Magennis kicking on next season given we shelled out for him.
Think a few of the others may move on in the summer.

The Sun - "Hibs in turmoil ahead of cup final as Jack Ross dilemma over cup final selection rumbles on".

Reality - Mrs Ross has accidently put some of Jacks outstanding cup final clobber on a 4 hour spin cycle instead of a 30 minute delicate quick wash.

Understand why Hallberg may want to move, not been used nearly enough.

I like Hallberg, but up until recently his performances didn’t merit a starting place. Obviously he wants to play more, but that’s on him to show more when he has his chance,

I’m sure both he and the manager have discussed this.

The sun being the sun. What do they have against Hibs? Said it previously but all the St J stories coming out seem positive whereas the Hibs ones ,not so much. They have us losing Boyke, Irvine and now Hallberg. Tomorrow it'll be Doig and Porto. Saturday will be Nisbet.

The Sun is being the press.
Their story has our attention so why not our detractors/opponents? we will dismiss it but many more will be eager to read it.

Only three of the top SPFL teams are newsworthy in the context of this season.
The St Johnstone team don't have players that are in demand so there isn't anything to make up a story about whereas Hibs do, so we are fodder for a company who have to sell words to keep them going.
When you accept that these outlets would sell their own family to get something to write about, their words carry less meaning.

[Vault Boy]

I like Hallberg and think he's been valuable part of the squad, but of course he wants to move on. It'd be weird if a player his age was okay with starting so few games. The Sun being sensationalist *****bags? Who'd have thunk it.

Scott McMann would be a good addition from what I know of him.

[Aldo]

Once again a totally nothing story from that rag. What should be a positive build up they print negativity!

I'm positive i read on here or in the press several weeks back that Hallberg was looking to leave at the end of the season. I've had it in my head from somewhere recently, so maybe not a bombshell.

There is no Bombshell about it. Has been on the way out for sometime.

I agree there is no bombshell but disagree that he has been on his way for sometime. If anything he has been strengthening his position. Personally I hope we can get him to extend.

[MyJo]

If we were to keep Irvine next season then Hallberg would probably find himself 6th or 7th on the list for a place in midfield so makes sense that he would consider moving on if he wanted to be starting week on week as he’s unlikely to be doing that with us.

Hardly earth shattering stuff like it’s been made out to be

[MrRobot]

**** the sun, absolutely horrible excuse of a newspaper.

[Broken Gnome]

For all he's a nice player, I'm not sure Melker Hallberg is capable of anything remotely bombshell-like.

Really? If he deserved more games Ross would have have him them. He will be away in the summer and good luck to him but he's more than replaceable.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Louis Moult released by Preston, hasnt been great there but really liked him at Motherwell - 50 in 98 games overall, would be a ready made (and free) replacement for Nisbet if he goes...

With the size of our squad we have been lucky with injuries and suspensions we have had this season. We definitely need to increase the size of our squad hopefully for the increased number games we could have next season.

Yes I thought that too. Heard no more so assumed I was mistaken. Definitely thought there was something though.

Didn't mean that we were actively trying to get shot of him. He made his intentions earlier this season.

Heard he was Hearts bound

[Spudster]

Aberdeen have got rid of their head of recruitment and have a new DOF in place. Hopefully they can scout their own targets now!

29 now, had a bad cruciate ligament injury in August 2019. Hasn't played since, but did recently make the match squad. Can't see Ron wanting to go down that road.

He’ll end up at Tinyist Park!

I can't stop The Sun from adding alerts top left of my tablet home screen. It's really annoying. I've tried everything. What's next? Counselling?

The Sun usually rises in the east and sets in the west. Maybe your holding your tablet the wrong way round or maybe rotation lock is on.

Assuming you don't have a Sun app installed, it's probably coming from your browser – chances are you've opened a link to the Sun and unknowingly clicked to allow them to send you notifications. If that's the case, then somewhere in the browser's settings you'll be able to revoke that permission.

If not fire the tablet into, er, the sun.

[Since90+2]

It's a bit of a misnomer that the press can unsettle teams before big games with these type of stories. Especially in this day and age where newspapers are held in so little regard.

What it will do is annoy fans and get them to click on the story online and talk about it. In this instance it's job done.

[truehibernian]

Mmmmmm just have a look at Mark Walker's previous articles................."Rangers ace........", "Rangers starlet"....................then "Celtic flop...."....."Celtic misfit"..................and on and on and on..............

The Sun's only positive contribution in the last year was when there was a toilet roll shortage and panic buying of Andrex

As an aside, spoke with a few contacts involved in the prep for the game and the players are on top top form this week
