Hammi, they didnae get relegated, won the play off against Spezia
Relegation would have forced their hand right enough.
Was thinking about Dundee Utd, they still have Behich, Mulgrew and Watt to get off the gravy train.
Behich is still in Australia dealing with a personal issue. I get the feeling he isn't keen to return but Dundee Utd seem set on trying to get a fee for him even although he is 32. A little younger and he would have been a good option for Hibs before Obita arrived.
It certainly is....but it was always the big concern for me.
Maybe LJ has looked at options available to him within our budget and thought fuck it, I'll do without! And tbh, I'd rather we made do with what we've got than pish money against the wall on rubbish.
We've known Nisbet was going for a very long time.
But this is Hibs every time we get into Euro qualification. If the club had a burning desire to do well we wouldn't be bringing in a near enough 37 year old striker to replace our top goal scorer. It seems we are just plugging the gap. Those LJ comments don't exactly inspire confidence. We have a very slim chance of group stage football based on what potential opponents we could draw should we progress. If you took this squad into group stage games they are nowhere near ready. We need at least 3-4 quality players IMO, one being a recognised striker.
Problem is if he says we are going to sign a new number 9 and for some reason it doesn't happen folk would lose their shit, so it makes sense for LJ not to give a definitive answer.
Not really the correct context of what he said though.
Can you elaborate Mark?
Aaah the voice of reason. Usual panic setting in
we need to chill. There’s pleanty time. Things will happen, most likely once we are back from Marbella.
Think that's a bit harsh on his game. I have only seen him when we've played Livi to be fair but he looks really good with his feet as well. Scored a screamer against us after leaving Hanlon on the floor.
Neither good enough at all.
As is Fish.
We might not like it but we play in the league we play in and we need options. Too often we're fannying about with the opposition defence being far too comfortable knowing what's coming next. We're too predictable.
Akinyemi scored 25 goals for Ayr United last season, won the Championship POTY, and was one of the main reasons they qualified for the play-offs. I saw him in most of Ayr's games that were televised on Friday nights last season and there is no doubt he is a talented striker, powerful, passes the ball well, and finishes well. There were a few clubs in for him in January, but Ayr (rightly) refuted all offers as he was crucial to their promotion push and they very much depended on him for goals.
Looks like National league side York City have had a bid accepted for him.
Kuharevich he loves the Hibs
