Hibs Season 10
Pre Season 2029/30
Season Targets
SPL - Title Challenge
Scottish Cup - Win a Cup
League Cup - Win a Cup
Champions League - Europe after Christmas
So we are defending champions so the least i expect is to put up a challenge to retian our title. 5 Other teams are also in the position to put in a title challenge so who knows how it all going to pan out. I really want that Scottish Cup win, 10 years in, and by some act of God we ain't got one Scottish Cup win. Europe has to be better! We're back in the champions league groups again and again i want 3rd or better.
SPL Pre Season Prices
How would you like to bet on the defending champions at 16/1? Plenty of Hibbies got their 34/1 cashed and will be ready to invest again.
Hibs Transfers
My busiest summer in a while with 10 players joining for the first team. I got carried away with all the spare cash and we are 4 players over the 25 man squad after going overboard on the free agents.
Goalkeeper - Lucas Pantalacci
I finally decided to pull the plug and go after a new keeper. I found the capped Belgian 19-year-old sitting out his contract with just days left and even better he wanted to join. He will be no1 for us!
Defense
Dusan Garadiljevic DR, Jose Balde DC, Gonzalo Jimenez DL
Balde & Jimenez look set to go right into the first team while Dusan will bring us some suitable backup at right-back.
Midfield
Selcuk Ari ML, Thato Radebe MC
Imagine a Bayern youngster sitting out his contract and getting a call from me at Hibs and thinking that sounds tempting! Wel the Turkish winger is delighted to come in and fight Darmain from the starting spot. Center midfielder Radebe ticks my favorite box with an international cap. He'll be 3rd or 4th choice.
Attack
Luis Estrada, Jonathan Ross
I was overflowing with strikers and needed no more but here i am adding two Columbians. Yes, Jonathan Ross is a Columbian.
Youths
6 Youths come in this summer. Dylan Beale is highly rated and comes from City for a modest fee as my favorite summer kid pick-up.
Out
Duncan Ireland was a strange one. His value never went up but he was no better or worse than the other backup MCs. We were overloaded and into the last year of his deal so he's out. Speaking of backup MCs
Dane Murray leaves us for a ridiculously overpriced club-record sale of £7.5m He was clearly the 4th best in the bunch which would have been ok in the SPL but why someone emptied the bank account on him is beyond me. That club-record sale lasted 13 days as we sold superstar DC
Soufyan Ghimouz. Weirdly after a year of bids from Premiership teams, it was championship side Derby that stumped up £15m now and a total of £23m. He's a decent player now and a great prospect but there's no way i can turn down that kind of money at this stage. Two weeks later the transfer record was smashed again. Both Manchester teams and someone else, forget who met
Ramirez's minimum fee clause. He was our best player last year but after massively overstocking on strikers i was really glad to see on leave bringing in a huge fee for the club.
