[Diclonius]

Thread for Hibs transfer news only, who Hearts might/might not/might sign can stay on the other thread.

Any confirmation if it was true that Stevie Mallan had been shown round EM yesterday?

He wasn't.

He wasn't.

Are you just saying that because this move seems unlikely or because you actually know he wasn't there yesterday?

He's not been anywhere near the training ground as far as I'm led to believe. Barnsley won't be loaning him neither.

Think your only allowed 2 loan signings.

Or am I making that up?

Types of loan in Scottish football

There are three types of loan deals in Scottish football: the standard loan, the development loan and an emergency loan.

A standard loan can only take place from one transfer window until the next. If a player moves in January, the terms of the temporary transfer must last until the opening of the summer window.

A development loan, as the name suggests, is for younger players and allows some flexibility.

The player can, in some circumstances, continue to play in the Development League or Challenge Cup for his parent club as well as playing first team football for the club he is been loaned to.

The emergency loan is similar to the standard loan but can be used outside of the transfer window.

So what is considered to be an emergency?
An emergency loan is not just for an injury crisis. In fact, there is nothing in the rules stating any special criteria for a club to be eligible to use it. It is just a normal loan that doesn't take place in a transfer window and through until the next one opens.

Can any club use this then?
No. Emergency loans are only available to clubs in the Championship, League One or League Two.


How long is an emergency loan allowed to be?
It has a minimum term of 28 days and a maximum of 93 days.

How many loan players are a club allowed in a season?
There are quite a few restrictions on how many loan players, what type of loan and who they can be loaned from.

A club cannot have more than four players on loan at any one time (excluding development loans)

Clubs cannot have more than one player over the age of 21 on loan at the same time

In any one season, there cannot be more than two players over the age of 21 on loan

Clubs can only loan one player at a time from a single club in the same division

Clubs cannot loan more than two players at a time from a club in another division

There is a maximum of three players from any one club allowed on loan, including development loans

Is there a maximum amount of combined loans?
Yes. Between July 1 and June 30 of the following year a club can only have five players on loan, whether standard or emergency loans.

What about players on loan from clubs outside Scotland?
These are not technically loans and so do not count towards the limits. They are international transfers with a return date so a club can take as many of those players as they wish.

In summary you are half right or is it half wrong😁

So - if I'm right, given that McLaren and Barker are on loan from clubs outwith Scotland, we only have one loan player in Scott Bain who counts towards the above categories - which means we can loan LOADSA players yet if we want to - go to it Lennie

[fulshie]

According to Lennon, he has players on the radar ( who, I do not know) but needs to offload first. So my understanding is we'll need to hear of someone leaving before we hear of another coming in. That's not rumour as that's what Lennon said himself.

Bain a backup goalie is hardly exciting. Maclaren possibly...but hes not someone with a stellar career to get excited about IMO.

I reckon Bain will be here to be more than a back up goalie. Not long ago he was in the Scotland squad and being tipped to sign for Celtic so I would say he’s a pretty exciting signing.

What are you expecting? 43 goals in 61 games for Brisbane, hardly a look in at darmstadt but that's not an indication of his ability.

Don't really know what else you're expecting when we've signed a current international and a keeper who's been in the Scotland squad in recent years.

I get folk get a bit antsy without hearing rumours but the club is quite right to tighten up any leaks.

Have some faith we are exploring the right options, generally under LD recruitment has been positive and a lack of rumours is no indication at the clubs transfer policy or strategy.

If we get beat on Sunday just watch this forum. If no signings this place will go into meltdown

Apart from Mclaren, there's nothing. Not even any rumours. Strange this year

It's not that strange.

IIRC, there was a potential deal last year that fell through because the possibility of it was leaked. If that's the case, you can be sure that the club will be tighter than a duck's arse this year.

We will hear about things when they happen.

Even then, there are normally rumours, albeit most times that is what they are and remain, but this time round we've been linked with no-one. I get that its all hush hush but it dead

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

We're sitting 4th

The squad assembled isn't doing too bad in our first season back in the top flight

Creative midfielder would be nice, although not sure who, or even where they would play

It's a notoriously tricky window which is reliant on a number of factors. I wouldn't be too despondent - I'm pretty sure we will have at least 2 more new faces in soon. Fourth in the league, playing good football, derby this weekend to hopefully go 10 in a row I'm maybe easy pleased but it's been exciting being a Hibs fan for the last 3 years I'm really looking forward to watching Jamie MacLaren too !

Were half way through and we signed a striker who scored about 0.8 goals a game last time he was playing regularly and is an international.

We’ve also signed a very good goalie.

I’m quite happy with our business so far to be honest.

We’ve also as it stands still got McGinn which must be our biggest priority.

Which is crazy considering we have one fit full back in Stevenson, seen plenty of the Development squad and nobody, including Crane, is ready to take a step up. From a purely pragmatic point of view, I cannot see how our business this transfer window can possibly be done !

Because it isn't so stop panicking...just coz 1 poster says it is...doesn't mean that is the case. Did you read our managers comments in the press yesterday??
