Lee Johnson hints at further Hibs signings as club is linked with Terell Thomas

Lee Johnson has hinted that there could be further new arrivals at Easter Road next week, with the Hibs manager revealing the club is ‘in the mix’ for one or two players.

Martin Boyle being linked again in the rags. For personal reasons and football reasons it does make alot of sense. Still unclear if his club would agree a payoff or loan him out.
 
EEN journalist Barry Anderson is saying tonight on Twitter that Boyle is open to a return to Hibs if we can get his contract sorted out. The two rumours I heard on Saturday were that he is facing a large tax bill if he comes back and would be looking for Hibs to offset this. He has also not been paid by the Arabs since they got relegated and is looking to get out.
 
With Boyle happening do people think that is us done in the market/transfer window?

I hope not. Adding a quality central midfielder could really push the squad on and into a position to challenge for third.

Sure LJ said he hoped for another 1 or 2 but who knows. Some size of squad we’ll have if he does.

Reckon we’ll see a few fringe players leave, either on loan or through “mutual consent”. The likes of Magennis and Mitchell aren’t adding anything to the squad due their constant injuries, while Doidge looks a complete shadow of the player he was prior to his injury.

If all three left, allowing us to add a central midfielder and a striker (one that just stays between the posts, a poacher type), I’d be happy with that.

I think you’re spot on about those 3 - I’d hate to see a %age games played since start of last season, they must be costing a fortune for virtually zero return.
 
I would like to think we always keep enough in reserve, or push the boat out even further, if a player of real/proven ability became available.

A Franck Sauzée or George Best is very unlikely but a Liam Miller type would make me happy - and McGeady isn't it, although he might have been a few years ago!

Oh aye ... and a centre half 😉

Is Boyle not that guy so no more funds?

I always thought Squirrel would come back, his team being relegated just made it sooner rather than later.

As for the money there's nothing but speculation as to how much the whole affair cost him or Hibs. If I said I thought the whole deal never cost Hibs a penny who apart from Squirrel and Hibs can say for sure I'm wrong?

I'm still hoping for that signing 🙂

Those stats wouldn’t make great reading. I think all three are contracted until 2024 so it won’t be cheap to try and move them on, and I doubt there are many suitors for them (not due to ability in the case of Magennis, and to a lesser extent Mitchell).
 
Could be the injuries they have were secondary ones and just take time. I remember mickey weir being in the same boat mumerous times but we waited for him. They are both quality players so worth waiting for and the same standard would cost a lot. There may come a time when we have to cut our losses but its not now. Imho.
