It’s been a busy time. I think the move-in window started off pretty quietly, but we worked really hard with the recruiting branch and to determine what goals we would like to achieve. It’s something we had to be patient with and then everything. sucedió. la last week or two of the window.
I’m satisfied with the quality of the players we’ve signed; We’ve brought them in from big clubs and the players come in with their own circumstances, some because they want to play and because they want to come and play for Hibs.
There are a couple of permanents as well, which we know is a long-term project coming in now and it gives us the ability to keep them this season and going into next season as well. It’s been an important window for us to rebuild the squad a little bit, and really create competition for places.
Every player who has left the club has also left for their own reasons and I’m satisfied with where we are. I’m also looking forward to meeting the boys on their mission abroad – the team is as healthy as it has been all season. .
It’s no secret that they were looking for a striker because with Martial’s injury we don’t have reinforcements. This was unthinkable because we had to comply with FFP (Financial Fair Play) rules. To make room for FFP, you have to sell players, smart players. I don’t think that’s how you build a team.
They gave us Omari (Forson), they gave us Amad Diallo, they gave us Rashford, who can play there. But I think that, otherwise, all the positions are filled. We have to be a little creative, it depends on the No. nine positions.
Celtic are probably on top of him and think he “hasn’t played enough games”.
I’m happy to be here. Hibernian is a good team and I’m very happy. I had different options, but this team was the best option for me because we have a good team, I’m very young, and here I can progress. I just want to play games. I like football and the most important thing is to help the team. I need to play and it’s a good opportunity for me to play for this amazing team. This morning was good. We have a good team, good players here, and the guys are amazing. Training was good and I’m excited for the rest of the season.
I think my herbal position is striker. I feel smart when I play as a 9, but I can also play as a left-back or right-back. It’s up to the coach to decide, but the most important thing is to help the team. I’m a smart player. I’m fast, I like to dribble, I like to score goals and I’m strong and smart.
I don’t feel comfortable talking about it, but there is agreement. We had a fair verbal exchange with the other club out of respect to tell them what was going on and asked if there was an option (to buy him in January). However, it wasn’t for sale, so that’s it.
I don’t need to live on assumptions. It’s Sasa’s turn to play, and I don’t think he would have played much for us. It’s Fabio’s turn to play, and he wouldn’t have played much for us.
Missing a number 9? But I felt like we were missing a number nine while the two of them were still there, so we’re still missing. This is where we are.
I think we’ve been able to point out to the players that we think are going to help us and give us more options. I’ve said that it’s a very complicated window to manage, it’s difficult, you can see how quiet the clubs were and there wasn’t much to do.
I don’t know. There’s interest in it. Cifu is also interested in this, but there is no agreement yet, so we’ll see. He has a wonderful mentality. We know that if he doesn’t take the step, we can count on him. We’ll see.
The only sadness probably came yesterday. He thought there was a very clever opportunity for us. The club just didn’t think it was the right solution for us. Disappointed, he ended up at Ferrari.
Look at them all, huh! You’re in a position to write. I’m going to pause for his phone to explode. Yesterday we had a flat day.
Unsurprisingly, we knew a domain where we needed to deal with and control in order to get some deals done early in the period. As we’ve maintained throughout the window, if there was someone who could make us better, we could. , but we already have a smart organization here, so it was just a matter of adding quality to Dexter and Scott.
I’m very satisfied with the agreement, I’d like to congratulate the club for what they’ve done. We would have been interested in Maxwel Cornet. It was something we were all excited about and we would have been more than happy to invite him to check in with us. At one point I thought it was an option and the club followed it. But then West Ham wouldn’t let him go and after all, he wouldn’t be allowed to swoon on loan, so unfortunately he failed. It’s a shame because I think he would have been a smart addition to our team.
After a lovely 3 1/2 years full of ups and downs, it’s time to say goodbye!134 appearances for this club is far more than I could have imagined at the start of this and six more trophies to add to it.
Thank you so much to the enthusiasts who supported me, to all the staff I worked with for believing in myself and wanting to help me!Thanks also to the players, I made lifelong friends and memories that I will never forget. It has been a pleasure.
I think everyone in Scotland was looking at Kevin. When it’s available, it’s all you need as a club, but nothing came of it. This is a path we followed at the last minute. Kevin is a hugely successful player in Scottish football, so everyone in the league would be interested in him in one way or another, but that wasn’t the case.
We were pretty happy with the deals we’d already made, so it was a matter of seeing if there was anything that could improve us, but nothing came to fruition, so we turned off our phones bright and early. 10:00.
In fact, I’m pleased with the signings we’ve made and we have a really strong team. Considering the resources we have at the club, I think our team is as strong as it has ever been at St Mirren. You have to live within their means and we do it diligently. Of course, you’re looking to optimize your resources as much as possible to be successful, but I’m very pleased with what we’ve accomplished.
There is no doubt that players like Kevin van Veen have already done very well in Scottish football, but now it’s up to us to redouble our efforts with the team we all trust.
I know a lot of people are going to say ‘go back to Neil’, but we’ve got to look to the future long-term. I love Neil, I heard from Neil, I’m probably going to reach out to Neil, but the reality of it is that I’d love to use his advice because he’s got a tremendous amount to I think help us. But we’ve got to look to the future long-term for the club.
I know Brendan Rodgers relatively well and I think he’s a top quality coach and he will play to Adam’s strengths. Adam is a very good hold-up player. Yes, he could probably add a few more goals to his game but in spurts with the Ireland jersey on, you could see he was a handful for a lot of defences.
Just getting playing regularly, for any striker, and into a team like Celtic who are expected most weeks to win their games and will create a lot of chances for him. The way Brendan coaches and the way he plays, if Adam can get into the right positions I think he will grab goals. There is a huge connection with Ireland and Celtic and I think the fans could take to him straight away with that connection.
I hope he didn’t sign one (a pre-contract), he didn’t tell me. We have a smart date and I told him that Hearts would be a club for him.
But I also told him that I think he might be surprised by the features he will have this summer. Sometimes by signing a pre-contract you remove your features.
It’s his decision. His representatives will do the best for him.
If he has to sign a pre-contract and thinks that’s right, I’ll be more than happy because trust James 100 per cent. It’s not going to change my relationship with him.
If James waits to see what else happens this summer and adds Hearts, I don’t think it’s a bad fit for him either.
Playing football on the cut-off day is a crazy idea. Yes, we didn’t manage to put a number 9, there were some that I really liked, but we may not make it. We may succeed, but not the ones I think could help us.
We spoke to Chelsea for most of the day about Broja, but we couldn’t compete with Fulham. This is where we are as a football club and they haven’t taken 10 numbers from us yet.
I had intended to return. I didn’t really care when it was going to happen a few years ago, but I’m getting to the point now that my little one is getting a little older, I need to be closer to the family circle and the competitive nature. of Scottish football.
Anyway, I didn’t pass near them. I wanted to mark Schweinsteiger and it was the biggest waste of time of my life. He did it all at once, I couldn’t face it.
I can see the reaction of Celtic fans to this news. Possibly this would not be what they imagined if they expected a more established name. But with Adam, if you can unleash all that potential, you’ll have a player on your hands.
You just want a series of games and a little love, which will show you a little confidence. Once he regains his confidence, which is very vital to Adam, he begins to fly.
Well, the move-in deadline has passed and the agreements within the FBCL have continued to the death.
It’s a case for Rangers and Celtic, with Oscar Cortes becoming the third signing of the Philippe Clement era after Fabio Silva and Mohamed Diomande also put the pen on the dotted line at Ibrox.

I’m satisfied with the quality of the players we’ve signed; We’ve brought them in from big clubs and the players come in with their own circumstances, some because they want to play and because they want to come and play for Hibs.
There’s also some permanents, which we know is a long-term assignment that’s coming now and gives us a chance to stay with them this season and next season as well. This has been a vital window for us to rebuild the team a bit and create a festival for the venues.
Every player that has left the club has left on good terms for their own reasons as well and I’ve been happy with where we’re at. I’m also looking forward to getting the boys back from international duty – the squad is as healthy as it’s been all season.

To make room for FFP, you have to sell players, smart players. I don’t think that’s how you build a team.
As for the choice options, he continued:
We have Omari (Forson), we have Amad Diallo. We have Rashford who can play there. But I think for the rest, all the positions are occupied. We have to be a little bit creative, it’s up to the No.9 position.
