Didn't realise he was only 25, seems to have been around forever.

Can't say I've ever been overly impressed by him and the fact he can't get a game in the worst Hibs team in a decade doesn't inspire confidence.

Still if he comes in and does a job everyone will be happy

I think that's a bit harsh Kencar. Mark Brown isn't getting a game just now as Calderwood seems to prefer Graeme "Dropped Ball" Smith and Brown has been Hibs form player in recent games! Some managers just don't fancy some players for whatever reason and Hogg seems to be one of them.

Harsh? Maybe but the Hibs fans don't seem sorry to see him go. Still he wouldn't be the first player to resurrect his career up here. Let's hope for our sake he's more Darren Dods than Phil McGuire :tongueincheek:

Hibs transfer activity today has been very strange today.

Theyre only signing so far is a goalkeeper despite already having 3 experienced keepers already.

They have got rid of their main creative spark, Zemmama, and have now released one of their longest serving players in Hogg.

Nothing really seems to make sense there.

Hi folks. Friendly Hibby here in peace.

You've just acquired a cracking centre half. In response to an earlier post, no he's not the tallest at a shade over 5'11'', but that's not to decry his ability in the air. He's a solid and reliable player if unspectacular, and doesn't have it in him to give any less than 100% at any stage - I include friendlies, bounce games, etc in that. He is an outstanding professional with an attitude to match that, is honest as the day is long, will be a fantastic ambassador for any club, and an exceptional role model for young players. He is also an absolute gentleman with time for everyone, especially supporters.

If I had a couple of slight criticisms, it would be that he could use his strength to his advantage a tad more and his distribution could be better.

I'm absolutely gutted at how events have transpired with Chris over the last year or so - due in no small part to both our current and previous manager - and am truly saddened to see him leave under such circumstances. He's always been a great idol of mine and will continue to follow his career keenly (hope you don't mind if I check in on here every so often to see how he's been getting on wink.gif). Hope all goes well for him at Inverness. He deserves a clean break.

All the very best for the rest of the season. Always had a soft spot for Caley (except against my lot of course!!), and have a great deal of admiration for the job Terry's doing with your club.

Thanks Strathspey Hibby

Are you surprised that our Adam Rooney does not now appear to be heading in your direction?

Not exactly surprised, no, as a few deals we've had in the pipeline this window have fallen by the wayside for a variety of reasons. Just the way things are going at the club just now. I also wouldn't really blame him for turning us down, given our current predicament, and lack of any signs of light at the end of the tunnel. Hell, I travel home and away every week and can't see where our next goal is going to come from, let alone our next point or three. There's so much wrong at Hibs on so many levels it's unreal.

Re: the points made by ajsict92, you're absolutely right about nothing making sense. I could understand the keeper coming in if we were planning to release either one of dropsy Smith or the permanently injured Stack, but there has been nothing of the sort. We have Brown who has been by far and away our best player all season, dropped with bizarre reasoning (again!) given for doing so, and replaced by the weakest of our three senior goalkeepers, whilst the third has been told he will be getting his chance shortly. We also have young Thomas Flynn still on our books as well, and now this chap. It's like Hughes' delusional 'goalkeeping school' malarkey from last season all over again. We are desperate for a centre half to partner Paul Hanlon and a striker (or two if we're being greedy!), yet can't manage to convince any of such players we've approached to sign. Typical Hibs.

Has there been anything further said re: Rooney at your end?

Not heard anything about Rooney, but it was mentioned on Sportsound that you may have signed Rory McAlister from Brechin.

I just don't know what to say about that one!

Haven't heard a bean about McAlister whatsoever, and am not listening to Sportsound, but in any case, I hope not!

i think he may have come to a good place for a fresh start. I wish him well.

If all our defenders were fit and not suspended I wonder what the first choice back four would be?

Tokely Hogg Munro Gillet

or maybe

Duff Innes Proctor Shinnie
