[we are hibs]

I'm not overly bothered if mcnulty comes back. He started well but towards the end of the season there were games where he was rarely getting involved.

I’d love to see him back - thought our service was poor in the later games, so would expect him to get towards 20 goals in a full season ..worked hard , even without the ball ..

However, there will be others out there if he gets a different move

[500miles]

I think whatever striker we bring in will have a much better time of it this season.

My thoughts too.

Wouldn’t mind him back but wouldn’t pay anything excessively big to bring him back.

Agree hugely important signing. Imo tremendous movement which will be emphasised even more when Scotty Allan can find him. Many times he was making great runs but not found by our midfielders.

[04Sauzee]

Watching some Scott Allan clips on YouTube and with his vision and passing I could see McNulty scoring 20 goals easily next season assuming he stayed fit. I also think we will win alot more free kicks around the 18 yard box which could get us more goals from the likes of Mallan and Allan

[JohnM1875]

If its another loan for McNulty then we should definitely go for it. If its a transfer then that obviously depends on the fee as we need another two strikers in my opinion.

Saying that I'd love to see the link up play with Allan and Mcnulty. Could be a thing of beauty! Hopefully Flo will be firing on all cylinders again too

How much is excessively big? We can assume Reading will want some of their £1m outlay back. We'll probably offer about £250k plus add ons. Personally, i believe £0.5m would be a bargain. He's now a full cap & 1 good full season would see that value increase. :I'm not sure where people think we can get an improvement on Mark for less or the same money.

I would like to see McNulty back but still feel we would need another striker.

8 goals and 4 assists for us is impressive especially when you consider he had the dry spell right after he missed the sitter for Scotland.

He is sharp and has good movement and plays a lot of clever balls for the wingers to run onto, with Scott Allan returning and more attacking players coming in I think he would look even better.

Fwiw I think he’s a better finisher than Kamberi who to me always seems a bit rash and lacks composure.

He would certainly be a good options to have and add quality to the squad which is what we need.

Omeonga seems to be a fan favourite from his loan spell with folk desperate to see him back, however I would much rather see McNulty return.

Tend to agree I think the balance in midfield isn't quite right if we were to have Allan Omeonga and Mallan. Would need to IMO be a different type more athletic and powerful possibly to get better balance. Agree also need another striker and personally think Flo will go.

The McNulty transfer sounds far from done. Reading apparently looking for big fee according to EEN

Well one thing's for sure they won't be getting it from Hibs.

But they may well get a bigger one than Hibs can afford from someone.

This. No point in us breaking the bank when Reading are unlikely to be beating away the offers.

While this is true, McNulty might dig his heels in and say he’ll only come to Hibs so get something sorted with them or you’ll be stuck paying my massive wages for no return.

Respect to your opinions, but I think we tend to overplay things like balance in midfield. A good midfield player who can tackle, chase, hold onto the ball and find short or long passes should always get a game, regardless of some similarities in style to another - or even 2 other midfielders. I really liked Omeonga and would love him back.

However, definitely agree we need at least one more striker more urgently and they are more difficult to find, so if it was between Omeonga and McNulty right now, Marc is our priority.

[Unseen work]

Is there an update on James?

Are we genuinely on the brink of signing him or have the paper completely made it up again?

Great news.

[Diclonius]

Great news. Tierney rescued from the young Scottish players' quagmire that is Celtic and we have another player playing for a world-class team. Ryan Fraser next?

[bingo70]

Not sure Arsenal would be a great move for him.

I know it’s the Premiership and to some that’s the ultimate destination but there’d be no champions league football for him, unlikely to win anything and the atmosphere at the Emirates always looks flat, probably not a good stepping stone to other English clubs either.

If I was him I’d hold out for a move abroad to a German, Spanish or Italian side, realise it’s not that simple though.

[PatHead]

When I was young the English first division was full of Scots. Good to see a number appearing again.

[weecounty hibby]

I'm not convinced that Tierney is ll that good. £20m for him would be unbelievable.

Could be CL next season though. Arsenal are a club that could quickly become really strong again. Emirates would probably be less bad if Arsenal get better.
