But you haven't backed him Rob! If you have then I can only suggest that Glass is even worse than McInnes at identifying players. I would guesstimate that Gallagher, Ramirez and Brown are on more money than any player last season. We also paid 200k for Ramirez. It may not have meet out expectations following the chairman and managers comments but I think it’s fair to say they have backed him and would assume there may be another player or 2 arrive. If we sign Boyle 500k is a lot of cash for us on 1 player in recent times. 1 Link to comment

McCart would be a good bit less than Kerr. Saints team will get decimated as their whole defence is coming out of contract. I doubt they’ll hold on to players & let their contracts expire instead of getting anything between £250k-£500k for each of them. Wigan and Bournemouth have both enquired about Kerr. Nothing concrete yet though. Link to comment

Kerr and McCart who are gettable and would improve our side. Rooney as an interesting wild card. The boy's attitude and energy is unbelievable. I agree in the main. I think Rooney is a big whole-hearted defender who’s had a memorable season with goals in both cup finals, but I’m not convinced he’s that good a player actually. Link to comment

I don’t think he will be a Hibs player next season. If no interest from England or OF he will be a don next season. It’s a waiting game but I think we will make a move should no interest materialise.

Sheeptastic Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Jake Doyle-Hayes' move to Dundee United appears to have collapsed. There's reports his agent was holding out on them because other clubs are circling. Wonder if he is one we'd consider. 1 Link to comment

Tord31 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 I'm assuming we can't afford Kerr, and I wouldn't be going above £200k for McCart, Rooney or Gordon. They are all ok only. Link to comment

Tord31 Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Going by our transfer business so far there is zippo chance weve got the money to get Boyle. edit and thats assuming he is in fact available for £500k. Link to comment
Chester Don Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 Not sure I liked the tense of the statement from our commercial director. “Was important we backed”. Does this suggest that there is no more backing to come? Link to comment

I think he is under contract for another season but did say towards the end of the season that if he wasnt given more starts he might look to see if he could move on. They also have Scott Allan back from Inverness and Mallan back from Turkey. A bit like us they have a lot of central midfielders, So would assume someone is leaving if Doyle-Hayes is heading there.

Allan thrives with pace and lots of movement ahead of him and I don't see that coming from JET and Ramirez. Link to comment

But you haven't backed him Rob! If you have then I can only suggest that Glass is even worse than McInnes at identifying players. I don't think he's been backed as much as all the headlines would have you believe. We had almost half a team leave this summer, so there was plenty money available by default Link to comment
