Hibs fans don't have happy memories of this January splurge. Manager Pat Fenlon was looking to reinvent his team and boost the club's form after taking over from Colin Calderwood. Though he did that to an extent, this group will forever be associated with the team that lost the 2012 Scottish Cup final to rivals Hearts, with the number of loan deals pointed to as a reason for Hibs' lack of fight.

That’s not to say they were all bad players - one of them has recently been linked with a move to Tottenham - but with seven of them having appeared on that fateful day (Roy O’Donovan the lone exception), they don’t conjure happy memories.
