A name I mentioned on here, Élie Youan at Hibs, is subject of a £2 million bid + add-ons from a French club. Got 10 goals and 10 assists this season in Scotland in all competitions. He’s divided their supporters from what I can tell. On his day, he’s a world-beater who can create something from nothing but he can be inconsistent. He’s also had a spat with several Hibs fans on social media who keep messaging him abuse for some reason. I think for £2-2.5 million, that would be a decent signing for us since he can play anywhere in a front three, can cut inside and score or whip in a good cross or run into the box to provide a cut-back, something which both Dompé and Jatta did at Hamburg under Walter. Other than Philogene, who is probably going, our options on the wings are poor.
Spl is such a **** level Gotta be wary about any goalscorers there Unless you score 20+ goals consistently In spl Theyll be cack here
True but he seems to fit the profile of wingers Walter likes and had at Hamburg. For £2 million, it might be worth a punt. So was Allahyar and Sinik and they cost more.
I’d be asking him how come he’s been to St George’s park and now Germany to get fit but hardly played in between….what have you been doing ?
This has got to go down as one of the worst transfer windows in the clubs history so far, I hope it picks up. We’re getting left behind by all our rivals we’ve got a huge catch up job to do now.

Difficult to know what to think of LD, he's took a lot of stick (probably harshly) but appears to be highly rated within the game. He brought in the head scout, so I'd assume he'd leave with him too. The worry is that it's more turnover, ahead of a difficult enough rebuild and it's probably the last person gone within the club who's got Championship experience.
