Source is Pete O'Rourke, the same guy who said we were in advanced talks with Kilkenny a fortnight ago so not sure be about this

Possible if BBD goes this window? Also Brighton apparently after another centre half so not sure where that leaves JPVH. Not surprising Sunderland also interested in him. Regarding Gelhardt, interesting that Nixon thinks we may be slight favourites over Sunderland as we can offer better wages than Sunderland who are tightening their belt?

True. Aren't Chelsea getting round FFP rules at the moment by offering these mega expensive new signings 7 and 8 year contracts so that the instalments are spread over a much longer period ?

JPVH played for Brighton yesterday and was at fault for 2nd goal. Still have him back anytime as well 😃

Porteus playing for Hibs this afternoon v Hearts

Sorry Bank End, just seen your previous post with the same idea ! Maybe if Porteus not coming theyve had a change of heart over another defender this windiw

Think Ayala will only miss the cup match? Also hope Hyams a quick healer. Hardly ever injured so never know. I also think the Watford fans have as much idea as we do about what's going on! Just a thought, maybe Rovers looking at 2 strikers in Geldhart and Undav,, as Geldhart to Wigan not as done as assumed?

Didn't realize it was deadline day today

Dock 'em 15 points as well !

Hope this is true ,..

If we have got more financial clout than 70% of the championship then God help the rest of them

Maybe coming as No 2? How much would we get for Pears you reckon ?

Just for arguments sake, say he was sold for £23m, we sold him for £3m apparently. 20% sell on clause would mean £4m in the coffers. If BBD is sold as well that would be a healthy war chest but the clock is ticking ...

FFS . Hopefully JPVH can have a word in his ear and tell him to get up here https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1162964766?-11198:839

Here we go, disappointment incoming https://c.newsnow.co.uk/A/1162791841?-11198:839

Raya "assessing his future" at Brentford. Hopefully a windfall on the way.

I think the war chest is a myth unfortunately. Need some experience in the side imo. Pukki would be ideal for a year or two, especially in the championship which is unfortunately where I think we will be for another year at least. Don't think he'd be on mega money at Norwich and a new manager there might want to change things about a bit

Hope it gets over the line. What about a similar cheeky move for Teemu Pukki who is also out of contract? 32 now but could still do a job for us

Has anybody been watching the Sky documentary " Deadline Day : Footballs transfer window" Really good insight into the role of agents and their relationship with the players. Also shows just how difficult it is to get deals done and what's involved in trying to sign a player

Thanks for the info. Hope we can make it happen

Completely agree. If he signs I'm sure it's an indication Ayalas contract won't be renewed in the summer. Just saying that if he can play other positions that's a bonus 👍

Fair enough, but I'd prefer to hear a Hibs fans opinion on the matter

Wouldn't be the first time players have been converted to a different position. Didn't Sam play Phil Jones in a defensive midfield role. Going back even further Fred Pickering started life as a defender before becoming one of the countries best strikers. It can happen , nothing wrong with being versatile.

Wonder if Porteus being looked at as a defensive midfield option rather than cb?
