Slightly alarming if this is the case. That’s 2 players we have been linked with and nothing has came from it. 2 weeks to Hibs game and it looks like we will be weaker than last derby.

Elias Henry Furst Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Time will tell. Personally don’t think Hibs could offer an amount more than us that would make a difference to his club allowing him to go out on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't imagine we'll want another left back on loan, and I would think you're more likely to get Riley permenantly. Learned at Man Utd, still a top academy, could be a great move for him and us. CL was quoted as saying that he might have to take a loanee left back until the end of the season when he could do something permanently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Debut 4 Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 When did football lose its individuality? I know players are touted around a lot of clubs but its cringeworthy the way Hibs end up after players we are. Seems that way recently. They certainly seem determined to gazump us. Are they scared? I want my club to have its own vision and structure as to how it builds its team. Not join the raffle for players 10 other clubs want. I know it's sometimes unavoidable in the Bosman age but I hope we always have our own vision and preference of player that will outdo others.

LarrysRightFoot Posted January 6, 2018 Share Posted January 6, 2018 Us, Hibs and Aberdeen all have similar(ish) budgets and will all get offered the same players by agents. That is is why when we get linked with someone it’s seems like Hibs for example jump in. It’s nonsense - we get played off/against one another by agents.

Players have had a week off so nothing likely to happen until Monday. My concern is the the 2 players we have been linked to would appear to have fallen through based on finances. Only an assumption but the fact that hearts have met with both players and decided to not progress would suggest it’s not quality of player but better offers elsewhere for them.

CL will surely have his team alerted to the positions he is trying to fill and they should have been scouring the market for suitable affordable targets. It's not as if it's a sudden requirement. We have known for some time the areas we need to fill and they must know who is available. Loan signings can be a bit less predictable and can come up at the last minute but we do usually seem to be slow at bringing in players. There is nothing wrong with taking your time to get the right people in but we do seem to lag a bit compared to others. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
