Was it not Glass that swapped Anderson for a jet? It was McInnes who gave him virtually zero minutes as a young lad breaking through. 

He lacks pace, meaning he has a lower ceiling than Sokler, but he's a great finisher. I think he'll do well at Killie.

Had it in my head it was McInnes but you are correct it Glass that was in charge when we waived the development fee to help the Jet transfer.

Hibs selling Euan Henderson to Beerschot in Belgium.

Seems to be a never ending line of Henderson footballers or am I imaging that 

[RicoS321]

McInnes signs McRorie. Classic McInnes.

Good signing that. Does what he can do well and keeps himself fit. Hibs will likely think they can do better, before signing someone shiter.

Hibs confirm Hoilett has signed with them on a 1 year deal. Probably all he has left to give, TBH

For me, the worst was Dodds PLUS cash for Winters. I would've loved to see both line up for us, but Winters never lived up to his early Arabs promise. Scored a lot from the spot, but incredibly lazy in open-play

Eh, yes it was

Agreed not as bad as the Dodds/Winters deal, but not one of our better moments

Was just looking at who the other ScotPrem teams have brought in and let go. Is there anyone left at Hibs?? I count 9 players in (including loans) and 30 out! 

[Tyrant]

To be fair Hibs are fucking rank and would be better off releasing the whole squad.

Passed me by that Stefan Gartenmann has signed for Ferencvaros. Bit of a surprise that considering they're the Hungarian champions - you'd think they'd be after a better level of player than Gartenmann.

That said, they're out of the Champions League (knocked out by Midtjylland, who Gartenmann was still signed with at the time, though didn't play either leg). Gartenmann has been an unused sub in both games since he signed.

Good luck to him, but I wasn't keen on us signing him permanently so I see it as no loss. He's landed on his feet though - Budapest a cracking city and Ferencvaros' stadium is the type of ground you'd love to be replicated at Aberdeen beach.

I always thought Brondby's stadium was the perfect one to copy. A squareish almost-all-seater stadium, but an area behind both goals for traditional terracing

Niall McGinn back in Scotland, signing for Greenock Morton.

Quality. Good to see him still playing. I expect at 60, he'll still be able to send a hearts fullback to another galaxy with a simple drop of the shoulder.

[RicoS321]

McCowan to be the inevitable benchwarmer at the Tims? 27 year old young prospect I suppose. I'm guessing they were worried about the threat Dundee were posing after a good start.

Shaun Rooney available. Worth a look?

Was about to post this too. Assault charges, any more details or does he just like a fight? Is there more to it that it just didn’t appear to be working out for him at st mirren?

anyway, am I right in saying he can fill in at right and left back? Big loon, maybe central defense too?

edit this, assault on an 18 yr old woman????

Yep, I was just joking, he hit a bird. Best avoided.

He's on his way to Marseille apparently...

Accies being humped by McGlynn's bairns. 0-3 half time, and very lucky to still have eleven on the park.
