The Other Foot Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 I feel at once envious and sympathetic towards those Hibs fans who can remember the whole 2000s, non-Mowbray era, as anything other than a big garbled mess of insidious shite. I'm almost certain that Fenlon, Butcher, Yogi, Collins and Calderwood are the same person. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee-Bey Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Time for Wee Lee to shit or get off the pot now. He'll have no excuses when he's emptied in October when we're sitting 8th in the table. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chefki Kuqi Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 1 hour ago, Tommy Tappin said: Agree. He had to beg Petrie for the money to sign Trakys, which was around £55k as I recall. In other news, a Swansea shareholder advises me that they've paid only £450k for Myko. Apparently Hibs were prepared to pay more for Vente than Myko, due to the recurring medial ligament damage that Myko has suffered through the past 2.5 seasons. That's good information. Personally I'd have preferred Myko as I think he has a more physical aspect to his game and is thus a different threat to deal with than Boyle/Youann, I have a feeling that Vente might just be abit too similar in profile but we'll see. That said I was slightly worried when we were after him that it might be another Kyle Magennis situation, good player but infrequently seen, and as such it would be worth casting the net wider. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calderwood was much worse than Yogi too. Grim days that I can now blank completely in the comfort of 21/05/16. The football was brutal under Mixu. Seem to remember he did well against Hearts playing horrible football and launching it up to Fletcher but against teams who could actually pass the ball (like Killie at the time) they would rip us apart. My mate insisted that watching Hibs under Mixu gave him an ulcer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Bridge Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Mixu was mutually consented because season ticket sales nosedived. It was a common opinion at the time that it was eye bleeding stuff. He also thought Ross Chisholm, David Van Zanten and John Rankin were acceptable first team players for a club that want to qualify for Europe more often than not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Judy Murray Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Can any season ticket holders tell me if they got anything through so they can add a digital season ticket to their phone? I renewed ages ago and can't mind if I got anything and can't find anything in my emails. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stylish Kid Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 10 hours ago, Leith Green said: If finishing 3rd was all about the forward line - maybe. However I think we are still pretty thin in defence (algthough Fish returning is a real plus) where we are still heavily reliant on Stevenson and Hanlon.......and the least said about Marshall the better. I also have some reservations in midfield, where we have good players, but not necessarily ones who can play well together. In summary, I suspect we will win some matches well, and lose matches to some of the better teams. tldr - No sure I feel we are serious contenders yet. If Youann learned when to pass and when to shoot he'd be some player. Boyle is sufficiently fast that he causes problems at this level. This other guy is a massive unknown. It is undeniably a great front 3, potentially. But last season it was night and day with/without Nisbet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chefki Kuqi Posted August 1, 2023 Share Posted August 1, 2023 Great news if after all that spending we get another top up. Would have been handy to have earlier though, we're still fairly short of central strikers available to play and whom are good, Myko and Vente would have been ideal. Similarly the idea of Terry Taylor was fairly intriguing as Jeggo competition. Alas. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be great if a certain amount of any sell on fee was used for more squad strengthening but after all the investment this summer wouldn't be surprised if the club banks it. Playing fantasy football and assuming there was a decent chunk made available then Bacchus and Nouble would be guys I'd look at. Not sure we need an out and out centre forward unless Vente ends up with Nisbet-esque injury issues, and signing a quality wide forward would allow one of Boyle and Youan to play up front if absolutely required. That being said if we're left in a situation where ALF is anything other than a good finisher to throw on if we need a goal/to give Vente a rest at the end of a game I'll be disappointed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I recognise that the quality of opposition throughout his tenure was relatively low but still a near 50% win-rate in the Premiership is quite incredible. Some people thought his brand of football was eye-bleeding but I'd be hard pressed to differentiate it to anything other than that 6 months under Lennon or Stubbs's seasons in the Championship where he had a brilliant midfield and relatively easier opposition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack Ross' Hibs career would be seen differently if, at any point, he'd bothered working out a way to stop Shaun Rooney winning headers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well seeing as you've had your fun with that perhaps you could do us a turn and provide one of those graphs for Dylan Vente? Would be interested in seeing what he's good at specifically, all I've really seen are goal compilations. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
