Take how guess how much of a fuck this thread gives about Hibs
Then take another guess as to how far up your arses the banstick can reach
I take it that means you weren't giving us a cryptic, then?
For safety's sake I'll also assume the solicitation concerning banstick-guesses is rhethorical; since the answer will most likely be pretty damn far up...

Edit: To make it perfectly clear - I'll shut up now.

Are we really in negotiations for the likes of Lo Celso, Ceballos, Diaz, Olmo Sessignon et all. Seems to be taking a real long time. I can Understand Lo Celso and Sessignon talks being delayed because of the Copa America and injury respectively but because of a failure to break through on the RM talks are these deals dead, were never on or just complicated or are we trying to save money by not paying wages or are just people filling a vacuum with their own interpretations. Very frustrating after the highs of the Ndombele signing last week, there has been absolutely nothing, not even a small snippet of news since of outs as well of ins. Looks like we are going to have to be very patient but it's a little worrying that we have got so much to do in the next month.

We signed 2 players at a combined cost of over £70m literally 7 days ago. Look at the other business most teams in the league have done so far, we really aren't doing that bad at all.

Over four weeks left of the transfer market and apart from Real Madrid, most teams in Europe are still to do most of their business by then look of things. Don't worry about it.

Firstly, you have no idea how much has to be done over the next month.
Secondly, it went fairly quiet on the news front before Ndombele deal got to the vinegar stroke.
Thirdly, chill out, it will happen or it won’t regardless of how much you worry about it.

I'm sure things will heat up in the next week or so.

4 weeks to go with a shit load of work to do.

I’m not worried yet, but it has gotten eerily quiet on both the news and ITK side.

I don’t necessarily see that as a bad thing. We’ve done arguably the most important business in Ndombele

Sess, Lo Celso - we’re playing poker there

Eriksen and Ceballos are likely linked, and the former likely relies on the Pogba situation. So again, will require patience.

Those are the players I think we’re after (guess) so the lack of ITK I don’t find particularly worrying now.

The club clearly mean business this summer but, if you’re being sensible, we’re playing the right game. There’ll probably be something that starts eeking out over the next week or so

It’s not even slightly worrying.

Good summary post.
