Will be a remarkable piece of work if MacKay can shift Jair now and at the same time not for another huge cost to Hibs for another year.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
You would think Jair's agent would be fishing around for a move for him or will it be Hibs & MacKay wasting valuable time doing the donkey work for them.
Fair enough Jair is within his rights to continue to do the minimal. Turn up for training each day, available for selection, but highly unlikely to be picked.
Sadly but thankfully, Jair is one of the final remnants of an overall lamentable recruitment process prior to MacKay coming in.

Thought he’d go on to a better team than Dundee, not Livi…

That last game at RB when he was hooked before half time lingers long in the memory though.

Delferriere came from a decent team and league, a DM but have no clue how he got on last season, seemingly a hard worker with a good attitude, maybe Gray can work his magic with him, we need bodies for all the various cups we're playing in.

He came to us as a DM that could play CB and RB. As usual with these types of laddies they don't nail down a position to focus on and instead do a bit of everything and can't flourish in an area of the park enough to get into the team.

I still stand by my prediction that Jair will break our record transfer fee received.

I don't respect the Sun as a newspaper or a source of opinion on hibs. I certainly don't respect their right to dictate to us, and the rest of Scotland, that one of our players was a flop.
You are entitled to your opinion. They can **** off.

There are not that many players brought in/contracts renewed since the last summer transfer window, who are no longer here, who have not contributed much or improved. This is good going. The only one which comes to my mind which goes against the grain is Megwa. I think he was given a new 4 year deal.
There is time for him to improve. And he does have value in that he could be one of the 'home grown' players we have to choose for the European squad games. However, I feel he is quite a bit off being considered for a first team slot and it was surprising to me he was given a 4 year deal.

I still think there’s a quality player there and loaning him back to where he had been scoring goals was a good move on our part as there was always the chance with his quality he’d rediscover his form again . One that worked out well in the end for us .

We recovered our initial outlay and slightly more on Vente if that’s sufficient to get Triantis then great business

I genuinely hold no ill will towards Dylan Vente and think a lot of what the club/managers did that season didn't set him up well to succeed. But there can be no doubt in my opinion that he was a flop at Hibs. The only way you can argue it wasn't is if you want to look at it from a budget perspective. We have maybe came out even or a slight profit when everything is considered. But in sheer footballing terms we signed a guy for decent money and he returned nowhere near enough in terms of goals or even general performances in a season that cost two managers their jobs and we finished bottom 6 again.
It was a big move from the club that flopped and the only reason we're all not upset about it is because we haven't had to write it off financially. I suspect if had to release him at some point this window or next summer for free instead of getting a fee we would all view his time here a little different.

I’d absolutely call Vente a flop, although the selective use of stats in the Sun to make his record sound twice as bad as it actually was by taking his Hibs stats over 2 years rather than one was naughty and unfair.
