new signings in summer?

[zuma#7]

just thinking on who we could sign and what we need in summer? any ideas??

[am_moroccan]

first of all welcome to the bounce

About your question, it s up on how much hibs could pay

[zuma#7]

cheers, if fletch leaves then i think well need a striker but maybe a wing back .

It will probably depend on who leaves we know Rod will not want an escalating wage bill. I would imagine Boozy will be off, and any offers for Donaldson and O'Brien would be willingly accepted. The two penalties, red card and signing of Van Zanten surely spells the end of Gatheussi's Hibs career as well. The young midfielder Ayres was also released I believe. Also, of course, Real Madrid will be buying Fletcher when they give up on Ronaldo

I think it's been said a lot that the fullback and midfield positions require strengthening. Van Zanten covers one of those. We also apparently have first option on Yantorno who seemingly can play a few positions although I have no real knowldge of him..
Mark Kerr (free) and Alan Gow (possibly be available on loan) have both been linked with Hearts and I think these would both be excellent signings. Willo Flood is only on loan at Dundee United I think should be within our price range. Then there's the never ending Riordan rumour that was sparked of again after the rangers game...please oh please be true.

i was thinking maybe billy sharp from sheff utd if fletch leaves but he might cost a few million

wouldnt mind seeing gow or riordan coming in also mccormack could be avaliable for a small fee at motherwell also another full back not sure who but we could do with another for the left side.Ian harte been released by sunderland but i think would be well out our wage structure saying that who isnt.

has he not already signed for a pre contract for an english team?

[andyhibee2485]

Did McCormack not already agree to go to Wigan in January? I'm sure I remember this but I've seen his name banded about a lot by Hearts fans as well so maybe I'm wrong here.

Harsh. I think he should be kept and given another chance, he has pace and goes forward very well. I know next to nothing about Van Zanten, and Mixu thought Zarabi was a player, so not fail safe.

Spot on.

Motherwell fans weren't too happy when they found out. Apparently the reason why he started on the bench a few times after January.

Mccormank was in yesterdays paper saying now that he has his first scotland call up he might be prepared to stay in scotland rather than go down to england were he might not feature as much.He also says that he wont decide his future until he sees if Motherwell secure 3rd(HOPE NOT THOUGH).As hes under 23 we would still have to pay a small fee but surley we can pay more wages than motherwell.I admit until i read his article yesterday i also thought he had signed a pre contract with wigan

[Willief]

He was quoted in the papers earlier in the week saying that he might stay if they get 3rd.

[stephenfc]

Ross mc is a good player but dont think he'll come near us like .

I think gow is a real possiblity but i think only if donaldson leaves or some1 else, we have plenty strikers.

Would be a shame if o'brine leaves and hes actually a great player but a can't get my head round him not playing well once this season, so i'd be looking for mixu to punt him and bring in a left winger and left back.

I feel they are 2 weak position for us don't no who could come in there but think we've been weak dwn the left since murphy left.

Maybe he'll come to us when we beat Motherweel to 3rd then

Not harsh. Get shot of him asap. For someone that "gets froward very well" I can only remember one goal and no assists from him...

[stevehfc4life]

Noal Hunts and good player and a decent goalscorer??? No chance he would come near us tho We need to get rid off Zarabi and Gatheussi imo.

[jakey boy]

john paul kissock, wee terrier on loan at gretna from everton, liked what ive saw of him this season, wouldnt mind seeing him at er, reckon everton may price him out of our league though

[hibeebenji]

I'd like to go for Craig Beattie who will nae doubt be emptied by West Brom or Stevie Thompson, who is not wanted at Cardiff.

The word "million" alone will price him out of our range. The words "a few" are superfluous.
