Seemed to get off to a flyer this season and dropped off. Hibs also have the Lithuanian forward who never features. I suspect they carry a fairly heavy cost base We were honking and they were not much better and it than as avoidable. Imagine it hadn’t gone in though. Would probably be more accurate representation of how close it is between the teams (albeit different strengths) at the moment. Being as we have a lot of mistakes to sorthas to make you feel good knowing we’ll be back where we should be once we do. The heavy cost base has to be taking its toll on them aswell. Whittaker , Stokes , Lennon , now the loan % from the German lot can’t be cheap. Or do you think they are counting on banking money for McGinn this month or in the summer. (Though not Lennons fanciful 5mil amount) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beyond McGinn they don't appear to have much that could realise much upside either. Lennon and Garry Parker will come at a price. I can't imagine they are on much less than £350,000 pa combined.

You could well be right. They could very well be on mote than that. Hibs needed promoted and probably paid whatever it took to get Lennon and Parker. They were without a club admittedly, but it's still a major career regression for both to have ended up at Hibs after Celtic in ECL etc We certainly don't over pay Craig Levein at £132,000 to run the entire football department. Lennon will be on double that probably Off the field I suspect Hibs are stockpiling a few problems financially Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.S Maroon Posted January 9, 2018 Share Posted January 9, 2018 We are doing our usual pissing about while other teams get their business done early. I really thought the club would take this window seriously and get some proven quality in to try and rescue what is left of the season. We need time to work on our system with new players so there is little point getting them in right before the derby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you should get in touch with the club about becoming part of player recruitment as you seem like an expert. Before you do that though, might be worthwhile getting a mop out to clear up the big puddle by your feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty other clubs are getting them in early. Hibs have signed two, County have done very well getting in Tansey a player who would walk into our side. Well have got Ciftci in well worth a punt on loan. Sevco have brought in Murphy a great signing. Aberdeen were already strong and have got stronger by bringing in proven quality in Mcginn. We are being left behind fast and instead of bringing in proven players we will likely take punts on more unknown players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
