Anyone can do in and edit wiki, you could update that to £5m if you wanted to

I know it

The Sun also going with the £1m story

Nice profit

Yes 5 goals in two seasons including one he was playing in Netherlands. Shambolic reporting

The "flop" who's now playing at a higher level than Hibs and most of our players ever will. Hate the media just such lazy reporting.

The amount of clickbait online nowadays is shocking. I’ve got to the point I don’t even click on links now.

A classic is “tv star tragedy” turns out it’s a member of the crew on a tv show who has died from natural causes in their 80s. Shambolic headline

[Dmas]

The target audience believes all this rubbish as well, I’ve had a text this morning from a Celtic supporting in law saying ‘great business for a dud 5 goals in 2 years is pish’ of course these types want you to believe they pay attention to the league but they’ve not got the slightest clue what’s going on read a few headlines in the sun and the record and it qualifies them as experts.

One of the many reasons The Sun should be consigned to the history books.

Really good post looking at players Hibs should be going for. Very nice to see some different names from the usual as well.

I'm not sure why everyone is all of a sudden offended by the term flop for Vente? He was the definition of a flop for us. We once again lucked out by not being saddled with a £600k black hole in the finances for someone that either isn't here or isn't performing.

Tend to agree

After that miss in the opening minutes v St Mirren last season (following similar point blank range misses vs Queens Park and Kelty Hearts) and with it being so glaring how much more an Olusanya brought to his team than Vente, I have to say the deal Hibs have struck is a great piece of business.

We've sold DV, made a profit, brought Bowie in the building, and may be able to put some profit from DV's transfer towards Triantis

That's a smart piece of wheeling and dealing by the club

Think it's more the fact is very misleading. Ignores a lot of things and is just incorrect, was only in Scotland for a year and one month for a start!

Surely most of us agree that this absolute rag has some terrible reporting.

Without checking each of these players, there's defo a couple standouts.

Robbie Ure looks promising, and slightly Bowie-esque. I think he's recently joined his current club so can't see him leaving so soon - but interested to see how he gets on from a Scottish pov.

The Bulgarian, Nikolov looks a player - however the quality of the opposition might be suspect. The cliche "great feet for a big man" comes to mind.

Leo Walta looks very good - and I suspect out of our range.

Sorensen has a pretty decent pedigree, but probably a position we've got numbers in (especially if Triantis signs)

Diaby is 6ft 5, so suspect we'll just sign him on that basis so the social media team can let us all know how tall he is.

I think Robbie Ure would definitely fit the bill of our signing type. However, if he keeps that form up he'll probably be out of our range pretty quickly.

I value Vente. He was part of an under performing team. In an effort to support the team, he was dropping deep to get access to the ball. This was not his game, he is a penalty box.striker.

It's too easy to write players off without considering the full picture. Was he suited to the Scottish game, possibly not, but I have no doubt he had the quality, and would have liked the opportunity to witness it on a stable platform.

100% Agree. Despite being a vile publication, it is only interested in English football or the gruesome twosome.

I think folk are allowing themselves to get worked up over nothing. Who cares if he was on loan for a year of his two years at the club.

I liked the guy and there was clearly a footballer in there. But there can be no doubt that his tenure at Hibs will be filed alongside Melkersen in one that didn't work on the park but some will say was a success due to the fact we maybe made money out of the whole thing. It doesn't really matter why he failed here but he did, and a paper highlighting that isn't some horrible dig, it's just a fact. I wish him all the best either way.

Agreed.

As there are a multitude of platforms for media reporting these days the dignity and standards of journalism has fallen through the floor.

Mind you that particular rag has been an embarrassment for decades.

It's how they make money these days unfortunately.

If you look at Talksport etc, they put out misleading clickbait headlines to lure people in and gather engagement.

The sun will be doing the same, more traffic and engagement on their sites will look good for them and make them money.

If people stopped engaging with it, they'd soon run out of business.

Wonder why Jair isn’t back training with the squad actually

Melkersen loan to Rotterdam = £££
Vente loan to Zwolle = £££

Hopefully we're sending him to Holland!

He was expected back last Friday but didn't show up.

With a year to go I wonder could we come to some amicable agreement with the player which would allow him to return to Portugal while allowing us to move on , clearly the current situation isn’t working for both parties.

The sad reality of the situation is that he's getting paid handsomely by us, either way I think he'll cost us a bit of money in this season's budget. I just hope we can find someone to take him so we can forget about him.

If we could find another club to take him it would be great though that’s probably easier said than done , can’t really see another team in our league or many in England queuing up for him tbh . Maybe a loan to some club back in his homeland a possibility?. If he has failed to return to the club when he should then he’s most likely not happy or in a good place and having someone like that around anyway isn’t good . Not entirely blaming the player but what a disaster of a signing he was .

He can’t just not turn up for training, unless he’s got a valid reason and the club have authorised it
It’s not his fault the club gave him such a lucrative contract

Hopefully anyone will take him and we can even write off close to half of what we're still due him this year as part of a loan fee or a loan/new club paying some of his wages.

He is arguably the worst piece of business we've maybe done. We've signed poor players before and some looked like competition winners, but at least they were here for 6 months and gone again or on short enough deals to forget about them soon after signing.

The amount of money he'll have cost us over the four years he'll end up being here for will be eye watering, all for a return of about 4 to 6 weeks under Monty where he threatened to find some form before reverting back to not being up to it.
