They both look about 12 and both midfielders. Probably nonsense.

Spend big for the dev team

I get what you're saying and given the current make-up of our squad compared to previous seasons I'm much more chilled than I have been.

But if the quality has been identified in advance there isn't really a reason why it should take longer.

Don't doubt Aberdeen winning the Cup will have changed things though.

Anyone that is actually good and will improve us will have multiple offers on the table.

.

Clubs might want to get their business done early, but agents don’t. They want to see all the options their client has before they advise them to sign. The pool of players who are actually available changes all the time as the window progresses, because incoming players make existing players expendable. In many ways we HAVE done much of our business early as we’ve brought in Salinger, Manneh and McGrath. Yes we need a couple of strikers and to re-sign Rocky and Triantis, but I have faith in the new team to get it right.

Quite the opposite. Higher the quality the longer it may take for them to agree to playing for Hibs.

Fair enough and like I say, I'm pretty chilled where we're at just now, however, if we don't have anyone else in and we fail to re-sign Rocky and Triantis then I think I'll revert to type and start panicking.

I think Rudi will kick on this season. Was already technically there, had the aggression. A year of physical development will make him a different animal.

I also think Jacob McIntyre could start games already.

I think we could end up seeing more of Jacob than Rudi, especially if Hoilett comes back. I think he could do with another loan, top end of the championship would be ideal.

Josh O'Connor signed for East Kilbride, not anywhere near the level I would have thought he should be so far.

I’m actually surprised he’s managed to get a team in the leagues at all. I’d have expected him to start drifting down to Lowland League and then eventually EOS.

I think Rudi needs a loan but it needs to right for him and us. No point in him sitting on the bench if out on loan. I also think it needs to be a good level I would say lower championship minimum maybe over to Ireland or something?

Whenever I seen him playing senior football I thought he really struggled didn't really have any one attribute where I thought he's a stand out in that.

I thought when he came on against Aberdeen he looked promising , won a penalty in getting the better of Scales . Rudi is one we do need to loan out to help him develop , championship club at the top end of the table would be better than a premier team in the bottom half.

Aarons to the Rangers confirmed.

Get the argument about affordability but the optics of them getting a player on loan from Bournemouth when they have given us next to nothing doesn't sit very well with me.

Wonder if he'll be able to play against Hibs? 😉

Me too. For me a long way off the required standard. There's not one young player who's left us that I think would have become a first team regular. It's one thing I think we've got right over the years.

Is Hoilett still contracted to Hibs until the end of June? Think the lack of info says to me he'll be away at contract end.

I might be clutching at straws, but based on your message I now believe we’re signing Connor Barron from Rangers

At the very least it’s a rumour we can go with rather than speak about Joe Newell etc

To be fair I've forgotten they're L2 now so it's a better move than I thought initially. I think his move to Ireland was probably the wrong one at the time and should have tried to find something in Scotland sooner.

Agree, we have a much celebrated link with them and one of the first things they do is lend one of their players to one of our rivals. He could score the winner against us in the cup final and stop us getting Europe for example. Out of all the teams in the UK he could have gone to this really doesn’t look right when up to now we’ve had very little.

[Paul1642]

3 more days to get a signing sorted before setting off for the Dutch training camp. You would hope anyone close to being over the line is concluded in time for the trip.

I don’t really have any issues with them loaning a player to Sevco who we almost certainly couldn’t afford in the first place.

maybe offered to us & the rangers asked about him ,the player perhaps decided they were the better option
