[SIGNED perm] Ryan Porteous

Now does seem a ripe time to oversell Sarr to Everton and buy a quality replacement.

 

200k is pretty tidy business. Supposedly that’s the fee we’ve agreed.

Typical we identify and make a move for a target whose club is then tied up in an injury saga of its own.

 

Think you’ll be disappointed if you expect the club to do that.

 

Not expecting the quality replacement but if Everton do come in for Sarr I do expect the club to have them over a barrel given the situation/timing.

 

They’re getting desperate, have been rejected by lots of targets and Gordon will leave, who knows?

 

Good to know there are still club owners named 'Ron'!

Reminds me of our own Ron 'Telephone' Rollitt!

Hear this is a done deal just now £350k...

 

Presume he will be available for us at the weekend then

 

But it’s Thursday ????

 

We've not had a proper hard bar steward at centre half for ages. A welcome addition

 

I doubt it. He's travelling from Scotland so will need a 6 month quarantine.

 

Pozzo transfer record for a defender?

 

By 349,000?

 

Good lord. The excitement is palpable

 

We spent that much on Kabasele?!? Good lord.

 

Things do happen on Thursday’s.

 

Alan Nixon thinks this one is done too.

 

Been a while since we signed a player from Scotland. Cowie the last one I think?

 

If this is a done deal I hope he is available for Saturday.

 

So a 'Wil' or a vertical stroke,as it were Kenny?!

 

Yeah I'm happy with this signing, he's only 23 so is entering his prime years as a footballer and has plenty of experience at a decent level of football. All for a modest sum. Clearly the player wants a new challenge at a level that will test him so a win-win.

We'll have a bit of celtic steel in our backline with Porteous and Cathcart.

 

Plays for Hibs m8.

 

Stephen McGinn?

 

Need to get another CB in also, Hause is a crock, Kabs also to a degree, Cathcart or Sierra get injured and we are in **** creek. Hopefully it will be another 24 years old or younger player.

 

Not sure he is that hard. From the clips I've seen, tends to make niggly fouls off the ball. Hopefully he won't be like Ekstrand, who would regularly get bullied by Championship forwards but then try to commit cowardly, petulant fouls to make up for it.

 

All this excitement only to find out we’ve signed the Scottish Ekong.

 

Here's the lowdown on the deal from AL.

We're going to pay £300k and Hibs will receive a percentage sell-on fee. Watford will play Hibernian in a friendly at a future date as part of the deal also.
