Crawford Bridge Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 That Newell boy is a passenger but the rest of the new signings were decent. Scott Allan is brilliant to watch. Bobby Madden makes it up as he goes along. I didn't realise Dick Campbell was so fat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AberdeenHibee Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) Just in from the game, here are my observations on our new signings today: Vela - just what we needed. Mobile, calm, controlled, gets stuck in and dictates the flow of the game/gives those in front of him the confidence to play. Clever player. Jackson - The Mountain from Game of Thrones never died. He became a footballer. I have yet to see him lose a header in 2 games. Allan - lovely pass for the first goal and a good pen. Showing to be every bit the player we hoped he would be. His slide-rule passes will be a joy to watch this year. He is also looking faster and stronger than his previous spells with us. James - quite assured and very calm. Like him. Newell - better today. Got stuck in more and does have something about him. And couple of thoughts on existing players: Mackie - good game and great cover for Lewy. Think they'll rotate this year. Kamberi - looks a lot leaner. More like the Flo from his loan spell season with us. Much more mobile and will feed off Allan. Murray - think we have a wee star on our hands here. Boyle - lacking a bit of sharpness, but more than made up by the fact he is such a fast and tricky wee player. Nightmare for defenders. Shaw - if the rumours are true we have had a £1m+ bid for him. SELL. SELL. SELL. The above is heavily, heavily caveated with "it was only Arbroath" but a big improvement all-round. We cruised it like we should have.

Crawford Bridge Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Aye, Murray's first touch and passing were really crisp. Linked up very well with Horgan for the short time they were on. The 'keeper seems confident, nice and loud all the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snifter Pee Rot Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 Nice to hear Vela slotted in well, really needed a presence in there. Lots more to come from these players I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Stubbs Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 Obviously has a few gears to go up fitness wise but I really like the look of Vela. With him there to show for the ball and press in front of the defence, Mallan also ended up playing better than in recent games. Kamberi played better as well but still wants to play a first time through ball/flick every time it comes into him on the deck. If he can be coached into holding it up effectively in front of Boyle/Allan/Horgan, we could have a pretty strong team this year. Good to see a goal coming from Allan chasing a bit of a 50/50. Looks like a fitter, more hard-working player than last time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day Posted July 24, 2019 Share Posted July 24, 2019 (edited) Linky for the goal highlights https://hibstv.hibernianfc.co.uk/tv/...tqxpeA3tvCK6rk Scott Allans ability to thread that ball to Flo for the first is exactly what we need, and why we bought him. Just that wee spark of creativity, and seeing stuff nobody else does. Obvious Flo likes playing with him, as he can make runs and Allan can actually get the ball to him.......unlike last year when Flo had piss poor service. eta - great passing from some of the young laddies for the third. I am now firmly in the "we wont get relegated this season" camp. Edited July 24, 2019 by Green Day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we’ve used our budget. Only going to make signings if one or two leave. Cummings is some boy. Will score goals, hopefully against Hearts and the **** and not so much against us. Didn’t like how much he went full on *** when he signed for them but would’ve forgiven him if he’d returned. He’ll 100% need to play with a strike partner. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found the article, just says hes "free to leave", which could be taken any way tbh. I absolutely adore absolute w****r strikers who spend half time time winding folk up, and the other half scoring then winding folk up. If he does that, he'll be a hero to me. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
