    The little I have seen of him this year he has shown promise but it's guesswork as to whether he can he step up to top four SPL level. If he is coming, I'd guess it means Irvine is definitely offski.
    Hendry is a totally different kind of player to Irvine.
    Hendry would be a replacement for Allan or Mallan.
    However, there is nothing at this time, other than supporters, to indicate that this transfer is taking place.

    Have you seen the statement Kilmarnock have put out about him? He wanted 4x higher wages to stay after relegation. He's only interested in himself and we should stay well clear

    He is more an Allan or Mallan replacement but with a bit more pace. I'd thought he was heading down south.

    His agent will be touting him all over.
    St Johnstone would be a good fit as a replacement for the young Irish guy if he is sold.
    As ever it will be all about the money.

    Hibs don't do babysitting anymore although we may start again for Griffiths because the potential benefits would probably outweigh the hassle.

    Lafferty will end up at Motherwell on a 1 year contract.
    At 34 in 3 months I can't see him tipping the hassle scales for Hearts.

    What if he had agreed last year to play for £500 a week?

    Not a person I like but the 4x thing doesn’t mean an awful lot.

    Come on, it's Kyle Lafferty we're talking about here. There's no way he'd be doing any club a favour like that.

    Of course we are, its fun when done respectfully.

    Other than his stint at Barnsley you could argue he's been very good at every club he's been at, including the recent loan spell in Turkey, arguably a more challenging league than ours.

    Is that kind of talent really something we can be passing up without trying to accommodate?

    Again, I'm personally not a massive Mallan fan, gave him a lot of stick in the past.

    But it's a good conversation to have.

    If he’d been very good at us there’s no way we’d be letting him go out on loan imo

    In fact to describe his time at us as very good would be a big stretch for me. I’m a little disappointed that he hasn’t been a lot better.

    It's honestly a weird one for me.

    I actually kinda agree with you, that's why I said I'm not a huge Mallan fan. But I think it would be really unfair to describe his first season with us as anything other than very good.

    He's then flitted in and out of the team and never really cemented down a place in the starting XI. But even then he was nominated for goal of the season for that effort against Dundee. Could anyone else in our current midfield do that?

    I just think it's a bit of a risk passing up on his abilities without giving him another shot.

    Yep after his first season I thought the form was going to continue but it didn’t really pan out that way for whatever reason. Was also being deployed in a midfield role that didn’t really suit him imo.

    Part of me would still like to see him in his natural position behind the strikers but I’m not sure he’ll be around much longer

    Mallan is probably not a regular starter, but he would improve the squad. An excellent option for rotation, or off the bench for impact.

    Malian left on loan as he wanted game time, if we get any kind of offer he will be offski

    The Mallan debate wouldn't keep cropping up, if our midfield had been providing the front line over the course of the season, I think it's generally accepted that it's the middle of the park that this current squad is weakest in.

    He was instrumental in our progress to the League Cup semi final. He’s a good squad player to have and his ability to score and assist is an added plus. There are some games he may not suit but others that he will. Voted by the players and fans as our best player a couple of seasons ago. He is 25 years old, I would be keeping him unless a good offer came in.

    I tend to agree, IMO we would have been out of the cup at Alloa if we didn't have Mallan to bring on from the bench in the game your talking about. I see Mallan as being a confidence player and I have no doubt he will have gained confidence from getting regular game time in Turkey

    Ross has said he didn't want him to go on loan but Mallan wanted more game time, obviously Ross doesn't see him as a starter and more of a squad player. TBH I thought he was under used before he went on loan, he'd came back from injury and was fit, played well in the league cup game when he came on against Alloa.

    I do wonder if teams just worked out how to nullify him in that second season, knowing what he was likely to do and closing him down? It's a bit like Murphy, he is more often than not going to cut or drift inside and opposition coaches work this out and can set up their team to reduce their impact on the game.

    I think he was playing with a wee niggle, didn't really look totally fit, 48 games the 1st season and only 27 in the second.

    Mallan won’t stay to just be a squad player. That’s why he went to Turkey. Will be a huge surprise if he’s still here come the new season.

    He’s retired so unlikely unless in a coaching role.

    Ok thanks didn’t see that bit, just seen that his contract had ended but It’s not someone who I would want Hibs to be looking at anyway.

    How did Mallan get on in Turkey? I had planned to keep an eye on him and remember seeing his first goal but forgot about him after that.

    I think he's a good player and wouldn't mind him as part of the squad but he doesn't get ahead of Gogic, Irvine (presuming he stays), Newell, Allan or possibly even Magennis for me.

    Charlie Mulgrew linked with Dundee United.

    Was a quality player once upon a time,but at 35 might be past his best

    However similar things were said about Charlie Adam when he signed for Dundee.

    Not for me. Would have taken him a year or two ago but not now.
