Wow how ambitious. Would you also be more than happy to Finish 14th and then the likes of Dack and Lenihan leave to go to clubs with more ambition which would no doubt happen. Its typical of our luck over the last few years Venkys finally appear to have stumped up some decent money and now the manager won't spend it

If you want to achieve anything beyond scratching around the bottom half you are going to sometimes have to pay a bit extra as fees are inflated in football today thats just the way it is. Unfortunatley Mowbray is an old fasioned sort of manager and his approach has shown to be just that this window hence so few signing despite Mobray himself saying last week he wanted 4-5.

The attempted Bauer signing seems a strange we apparently bid for him a couple of months ago and haven't gone for another centre back since then surely it wasn't Bauer or nobody for Mowbray. With Downing not making the bench the thought of Lenihan or Mulgrew going of injured in a game and Williams playing at centre back terrifies me.

Surely an experienced manager like Mowbray who knows the Championship well can't think that Samuel and Nuttall are adequate however I fear you are right.

Incredible that we are could be going into the second game of the season with no backup to Graham (who we all know can only last for 70 minutes). Will be really disappointed in Mowbray if that happens as its should have been a priority.

Brandon Barker played for Hibs last season, didn't look anything special and was in and out the team.

Going to Celtic

If we are going to bid for someone from Rangers then bid £2 million for Josh Windass, as one he is a good player and two he plays in a position where we need to strengthen.

I can see what will be said at 5 O'clock now 'we tried a number of things but for one reason or another they didn't quite come off, but we still have the loan window to get players in'. Which will equate to a young unproven kid from a premier league under 23 team. A very disappointing window.

Token bid?

Not at all confident that we will get anything done today, if we have £4 million to spend on one player why have we left it until the final few hours? It seems like we have no clear plan of who or what we want to bring in during this window.

12 Assists and 5 goalsfor Freeman last season in a struggling side. Exactly the sort of signing we need someone with proven Championship experience if we sign him and some competition for Graham then I will be happy.

Raya Nyambe Lenihan Mulgrew Bell Bennett Evans Armstrong Dack Palmer Graham Subs: Leutwiler, Downing, Williams, Rothwell, Smallwood, Conway, Samuel But hopefully 2 players brought in tomorrow to replace Samuel and Conway, as we need better attacking options on the bench.

Derby's squad is ridiculous how do they continue to evade FFP year after year?The other night they played 1 up front yet on the books they have Marriott, Martin, Blackman, Nugent, Jerome, Bennett & now Wells with Waghorn set to sign. The other night not even on the bench were the likes of Forsyth, Butterfield, Blackman, Martin, Hanson, Olsson, Jerome, Anya, Thorne & Huddlestone and you would suspect that some of them are on very big wages and that was with Evans and Marriott not ready for selection yet.

And Gladwin

Celtic have been bidding for about a month and are still haggling over about £2 Million (which to a club like Celtic isn't a lot) & I'm Hibs would much rather sell to an English team. Personally if I was Celtic I would be focusing on buying a centre back as failing to buy one may well cost them a Champions League group stage.

Hibs said to want £4 million for Mcginn, as I'm sure they would rather sell to us than Celtic we ought to offer them £2-2.5 Million and a Northern Ireland international central midfielder to replace Mcginn. It would get Evans and his wage of the books and get us a top midfielder.

Another winger, centre back and a back up to Graham must be our priorities. However if we have the opportunity to improve the side by bringing in someone of Mcginn's quality then we have to go for him.

Would be a real coup if we could get Mcginn but if Celtic really want him then they will stump up the cash and I can't see him picking us over them.

Roberts looking like he is off to Celtic

Mowbray obviously thinks that he is though otherwise Downing would have been on the bench.

I don't think it's that people think Bell is the answer I just think that they would like to see what he could do as we paid £300K for him, he was in the team of the year yet here he has spent most of the time sat on the bench.

With the bookies they are 3rd favourites for relegation. Personally I think they are a side that have made some good signings and will be mid table at worst.

We sit to deep and give away stupid free kicks.
