Rabinho Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I would take Williams, Craig and an injury free McPake. I can see Craig going back to the fakes though. Craig would be an excellent signing, been head and shoulders above everyone else at Easter Road this season.I'd also like to see us go for McPake, I'd rate him as better than McGregor if he's fit.

Rab, Rab, Rab, I'd rather have Steven Anderson than McPake He charges about all over the place, launching himself into tackles and going to ground far too much for a decent centre half. He's all brawn with very little brain on the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edinbuddie Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Paul Hanlon apparently told that he can leave Hibs as well. Not a world beater but a young, steady left sided centre half. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whydowebother Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 GIE'S A SIGNING! Will Kello on a 1 year deal do for today ? More to follow (next week apparently) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 I saw on the BBC there that Heffernan has been told he can go as well. I'd probably take a punt on him as backup to Thommo, depending on his wages. Think he had a couple of injuries last season, and everybody looks shite playing for Hibs anyway, but he's been a good solid goalscorer at this level before, and he offers something a bit different.

norman Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 32. Injury prone and 4 goals this season.No thanks. 32 isn't that old, he wouldn't be the main striker and he scored 20 goals in 56 games for Kilmarnock before he signed for Hibs. That's a better option than most of the non-Thommo strikers we've had at the club over the last three years. If we can add another striker who's going to bag us 8-10 goals next season it would make a big difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Online media - was from Tommy/Jim as regards to using this week to offload players ( to check finances for availability )with a view to discussion next week with players coming in.

Thorizaar Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 GIE'S A SIGNING!Worth remembering that the transfer window isn't actually opened yet apart from for Scottish based players out of contract now.Expect most contracts expire 31st May Or 30th June. I think cross border transfers can't happen until 9th June. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its just a B&A tradition during the close season, and I couldn't help myself. Kello counts, though. GIE'S ANOTHER SIGNING!!!

JM1 Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Heffernan had a poor season because he was playing for a rotten Hibs side that creates nothing. As long as he's not wanting daft money, I'd be happy enough with him coming in. In fact, if we play a 442 next season, I'd predict him and Thommo would both score loads. They're both intelligent strikers who can create and score goals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we can add another striker who's going to bag us 8-10 goals next season it would make a big difference. From what I've seen of him, he's dropped off a cliff rather dramatically. He's a striker who plays off the shoulder and relies on pace to get him into goalscoring positions and when that pace goes, you're not left with a great deal. He'd be almost a carbon copy of Craig Dargo for us in that we got him far too late and signed him on past glories, albeit slightly less perma-crocked.

He'd be almost a carbon copy of Craig Dargo for us in that we got him far too late and signed him on past glories, albeit slightly less perma-crocked. But he wouldn't be expected to be a first team starter every week the way Dargo was. As a back up and an option of the bench we could do far worse. Josh Magennis for example. Also, has he really dropped off a cliff? Is it not more likely he just signed for Hibs, which makes any player look shite. He might not want to cone to us anyway. Any striker that comes to us pretty much knows they are coming to play second fiddle to Thommo, and be paid accordingly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it not more likely he just signed for Hibs, which makes any player look shite. If it's a back up, then I'd much rather we went for a young, hungry lad with something to prove like Rory Loy or Kane Hemmings. Not a washed up diddy looking for one last payday. In short, for Paul Heffernan, read Dennis Wyness, Jim Hamilton, Sam Parkin and the aforementioned Mr Dargo. It's high time we stopped going down this route of signing players cos they used to score goals back in nineteen canteen. And I've seen him a few times this season. Yes, he has most certainly dropped off a cliff. Nowhere near the dangerman he once was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Callum Gilhooley Posted May 27, 2014 Report Share Posted May 27, 2014 Is it any wonder Heffernan isn't the player he used to be. I mean, how high was this cliff ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
