Rumour.

[blue toon hibby]

Seems a bit odd that he just signed a “multi-year” contract with Charleston in January but hopefully this is a good sign (and signing) for us.

Supposedly we've signed Colton Swan from Charleston Battery.

6 figure fee..joining after his season.

American journalist Tom Bogert is saying anyway.

According to Transfermarket, he is valued at no more than $100,000.00, and at 19, he hasn't played a lot or scored many goals, so I hope he isn't edging out any of our development squad youngsters, assuming he is coming to Hibs.

Last yank was a disaster! Hopefully he leaves the self help book at home

Not believing it until I see him with an owl.

Almost done by sounds of it.

Interesting signing. Not sure another young striker is what we need with Lowe and Elding.

One thing though, this sentence made me vomit “Pressing target forward / channel-running 9”… fuck me what a load of old pish! He’s a striker, every striker should be able to press and run channels, basic part of the job. Sounds like a fancy way of saying he doesn’t get between the sticks enough to score goals, but will wait and see.

He's not coming to us until January apparently. Maybe our Elding replacement.

IMO we need experience up front, not another youngster.
Hopefully Swan is a good player, but we do have quite a youthful forward line already.

Those are buzzwords directly from the spreadsheet.
I would almost guess that's exactly where the description comes from.

I can't see us selling Elding in January can you? Probably a Lowe replacement and hopefully an upgrade at that.
