HMFC01 Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 Not entirely transfer related but I'm connecting it to Souttars potential move. Stoke just lost 1-2 to Presten NE. Steven Fletcher started up front What a mess they are in. I'd be joining Blackburn Rovers unless Stoke said were signing better strikers. I'd want a release clause if that promise was broken.

I posted it here because I don't agree he should be a Hearts target. Play him on the wing probably pull a hamstring, play him in the middle he'll twist his ankle. He's injury prone and not able to play at a high level reliably for long. Just my view and an opinion. All the best to him though. Probably should try the MLS then try for a player coach role after that. Maybe in England lower leagues. Unless he fancies jumping straight into Wrexham now. They were interested last month.

Hibs tipped to compete with Old Firm under Shaun Maloney Shaun Maloney has been tipped to reach the highest level by Roberto Martinez, with the new Hibs boss expected to bring attacking football and compete with the Old Firm. The 38-year-old has won his first two games since leaving his post as assistant to Roberto Martinez for the Belgium national team to take up the role at Easter Road. Martinez holds Maloney in the highest regard having also worked with him as a player at Wigan Athletic. The ex-Motherwell midfielder was planning to take in the clash with Celtic before it was rearranged. He fully expects the former Scottish international to build a recognisable side in his image. “Shaun will build a strong team, one with the mentality to compete against the Old Firm and make it a really successful story," he said. “What you’re going to see is him getting the very best out of Hibernian’s players. “Slowly they will become very recognisable in the way he wants them to play. attacking, making the difference in the final third. But he’s experienced enough to keep a team balanced. “I believe the commitment, hard work and ideas of Shaun will affect every aspect of this club.” For Martinez, it is a case of Hibs fans enjoying Maloney being their boss for as long as possible with the manager “bound for the highest level”. “He showed by taking the Belgium job he was prepared to travel anywhere and challenge himself," he said “He won’t limit himself. I think his coaching career has no limits either.” Edited January 3 by Birregrande Added comment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ToqueJambo Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 21 minutes ago, Clerry Jambo said: Hibs apparently offered the lad Henderson at cellic 3.5 year deal The "sign his brother" approach lives on! Could be a prospect but he's 21 and has only played 34 senior games mostly off the bench. The fees being and long contracts being quoted are very Romanov-esque. Total speculate to accumulate policy. Instead of packing their team with Championship players and/or loanees like they did with previous managers with hilarious results, now they're paying fees to buy young but largely unproven players on long contracts. That's fine if you sign one or two but a whole team of them - plus a rookie manager... risky and potentially very expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The traditional Speirs gushing interview will show up soon, especially if Maloney has a few wins early on. He talked up Butcher and Hughes at Hibs like they were the second coming after they had a half-decent first few months. Warburton too. Speirs is one of the biggest pushers of the Hibs fair myth, despite probably seeing them about 4 times a season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celtic are moving out the two players they signed on pre-contracts in the summer out on loan, Liam Shaw and Osaze Urhoghide (Shaw is wanted by St Johnstone.) Just backs up how weird Celtic's recruitment process is, they sign two players before they have a manager sorted and they have played 1 league match between them and now going out on loan. Hibs clearly trying to sign young players (to be fair we are trying to do that as well) could see it become a hit and miss type policy for them. Ewan is supposed to be better than Liam when going through Celtic's ranks, but is a player that needs game time. Liam Henderson benefited well from that, but doesn't mean Ewan will. Though does mean both Hearts and Hibs have a Euan/Ewan Henderson at the same time (different spelling but same pronunciation.) Wonder if that's ever happened before.

Makes some sense actually, especially for a forward, but still a gamble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
