Mcd Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I know it has been mentioned on previous pages but what is frustrating me is the lack of any credible rumours from usually reliable journalists. Let's hope this is a positive step and the signings will be worth the wait. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scouser2 Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Still rumours of late bids for Nisbet so with Doidge out injured as well can’t see Hibs releasing any forward players even on loan, till window closes unless they sign a couple themselves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cill Mheàrnaig Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 I'd be astonished with Daniel MacKay. Hibs are big on him and he'll feature plenty for them. Barrie is a much more realistic option and if we can keep him fit then a front 3 with him on the left and Burke on the right would be hard to beat at our level. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Killiepies Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Is Barrie McKay not a free agent? If so he would have been signed by now as TW said deals have already been agreed with there agents. Been suggesting him for a few years now.

According to transfermarket he's a free agent now. I would be surprised if we're his best offer, but him being a former youth player may have a nice alure for him to come back and prove he good enough from where it all started.

historyman Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 1 hour ago, Lorielus said: It absolutely works - because they had a rich guy buy them and pump capital into them (more than £100 million). It's utterly bizarre than you think a guy giving a club £100m is somehow reflective of a model that would work from Kilmarnock. You can do it down south because if you buy your way into the premier league then the television money alone can allow you to be self-sustaining thereafter, regardless of where you are in that league. That could not be less true for Scotland. Mmmm, perhaps it’s the model I am highlighting which can be done on a different scale in Scotland in order to build a consistent top six club. What’s bizarre is you thinking I’m suggesting someone would invest that figure in any Scottish club - although that may happen when Celtic and Rangers inevitably leave to join some form of European league in future. By the way, congrats to Hearts, biggest fan owned club in the UK. Something to be proud of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bbk Posted August 30, 2021 Report Share Posted August 30, 2021 Something also for us to look from afar and admit it will not happen any time soon for our club too many local supporters from all around Kilmarnock who rather than support their local team take the option of heading up the 77 to Glasgow. Even when we were riding the crest of the waves of the cup victories and the SSC years we couldn't hope to sell a fraction of the season tickets Hearts and Hibs can manage that is unfortunately the reality! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By the way, congrats to Hearts, biggest fan owned club in the UK. Something to be proud of. Sorry, I'm genuinely confused then - can you clarify what the model is? Brentford wouldn't have been able to rebuild their team and outscale their rivals in league one and the championship without the owner propping them up, so how do we accomplish that without funding and with no borrowing capacity?

Permanent deals there would be a big factor for me - good age and wanting to prove themselves here could be decent additions. Was expecting loans 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
