I genuinely don’t think anyone is coming in. Ethan Ross back & Wright away to the scum & that’ll be it. Shitty January window Link to comment

If we can’t afford to do business then so be it. I’d rather the club were ran properly. Link to comment

WesthillWanderersFC Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I see Hibs have told Birmingham to bolt with their latest offer. Easier to do I suppose when the player is contracted for another 3.5 years Link to comment

Ten Caat Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 24 hours to go until the window slams shut Serves Birmingham right for leaving it till the last minute. I'm imagining Hibs think it's just too tight a timeframe to get themselves a replacement in that they consider suitable. Having said that......I'm not at all convinced that the loon is a £3m player. He's done fairly well in his first 6 months in Edinburgh but I wouldn't say that it's been enough to inflate his value 12 times. Wonder how it will affect him mentally for the rest of the season, knowing that the chance to earn 3-4 times his current salary (plus a whacking great signing on fee) has been denied him.

super_al Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 I keep going back to this, how are Hibs not desperate for the money during a pandemic? I really hope someone asks Cormack at the Q&A why Aberdeen are struggling so much more (perceived anyway) compared to other clubs. If the answer is that others laid people off and cut back on their youth program then the question becomes should we not do the same? 2 Link to comment

Let’s not forget that we have pocketed 5m from 2 player sales too yet still an absolute shambles. Imagine we had no assets in the squad. Link to comment

fine-n-dandy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Thank fk County have so.d Stewart. Now we have only to worry who is below him on McInnes’s list of shite striker targets. Link to comment
slippers Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Someone on Pie and Bovril is saying a few journalists have said that we are willing to spend some of cosgrove money to have a crack at 2nd. I can’t see anyone journalists speculating that? Link to comment

If you are talking from a economic sense the most important aspect is the results of the first team. Many industries and companies have had to make layoffs to survive. I don't see why we should be any different. If we continue to loose money in the numbers being quoted the club will go bankrupt. I am not saying its ideal but folk will be laid off unless we stop bleeding money. Link to comment

I am not saying its ideal but folk will be laid off unless we stop bleeding money. I hear you. However. I'm just uncomfortable about lots of staff and kids losing their jobs so we could sign the likes of Ross Stewart or Brophy. To finish in probably the exact same position. Remember McInnes was heavily backed and had the biggest squad of senior players he's ever had in the first half of this season. Is it worth say 10 people losing their jobs to sign Ross Stewart?

fine-n-dandy Posted January 31, 2021 Share Posted January 31, 2021 Only hope is he gets permission for a decent loanee striker & the new manager is the one tasked with sourcing a decent couple of permanent strikers next summer Hopefully Jim Goodwin has a decent eye for a striker Link to comment
