Yes he said he was the best young Scottish talent he had ever seen however in saying that he was at Livingston at that time.

[Ozyhibby]

Maybe hibs need to review this....

If they are trying to get him back then it appears they are.

[Unseen work]

Surely fenlon will bring a winger in before the weekend?? For the sake of his job! We need some creativity!

[YehButNoBut]

Ian Murray has signed Colin Nish, he'll also coach their U19's, good luck to him.


Scottish Sun Sport ‏@scotsunsport Dumbarton have signed former Hibs and Kilmarnock striker Colin Nish. He will also coach the club's under-19 team.

See in the evening news today they're saying we've signed a young keeper.

Decent signing for Murray. Will score a few in that league. Good luck to him and Dumbarton.

That will be that then.

[The_Horde]

Cracking wee player scougall. If hibs sign him ill be very impressed. Won't happen though!

[HibeeBigFly]

It really is poor that we and many other teams in the spl aren't snapping up obvious talents from the division below. Falkirk have at least 3 youngsters who would be amazing signings and Scougall and Griffiths will/have been missed out on. We are been beaten to quality players on or doorstep by third rate English teams. We might just get the next Lee Power or Paul Tosh :-)!

This lack of rumours is getting too frustrating. We need 3 new players IMO ASAP

This is getting ridiculous how can clubs with less money than us get better players? It baffles me. Peterborough? Wolves? That scougall looks a player and if we dont get him or someone similar in ability then this club is a disgrace. I cant believe I read this and get my hopes up for nothing. We will end up with another danny galbraith, alan obrien or matt done

Wolves and Peterborough both have a far bigger budget than Hibs. If scougall leaves Livingston it will be for a few hundred thousand. A fee that Hibs will almost definately not pay , not to mention the attraction of higher wages down south. Hibs lack Ambition. If the board are 100percent backing fenlon then i hope they back him to bring in natural wide players. Players who can take on a man. As we have no player available capable of doing this. Any defender will tell you the hardest thing to deal with as a defender is someone running at you with pace with the ball. A defences dream is for a team to keep the ball infront of them. A player like Scougall would be a fantastic signing. We need to get someone in , I wish we had signed Garry Mckay Steven before he signed for Dundee Utd. He would have been an excellent signing and again is exactly the type of player we need.

Scottish football is financially gubbed, so it's a difficult one for clubs up here now. Money has dried up in Scotland and even the lower leagues in England are awash with cash now - even Celtic have lost two players to mediocre English teams in Norwich and Forest and they can dangle the carrot of Champions League football.

We're at the point now where decent talent will only come to the Scottish game as raw untried youngsters or at the tail end of their careers having exhausted their options or made their money down south. So instead, we're left scrabbling around for journeymen pros or guys with baggage hoping to discover a gem in among all the stones.

The days where established players the likes of Butchers, Larssons or Latapy's at the top of their game play in the SPL are long gone unfortunately.

Someone like Aaron Doran who was out of contract at ICT at the end of last season? Pity our manager went for big OTJ instead of the guy who topped the SPL assists chart...

[McIntosh]

If we expect quality signings as we all know we can forget it. My nephew who is a sports journalist gave me an insight into the club and its transfer dealing. He said that when in discussion with the manager in relation to the club's signing policy he was not struck by any degree of confidence it appeared incoherent and beyond amateurish. This is something that we all know but I am truly staggered by this. It takes me back to the days when Pat Stanton was manager and we where signing the like of Malky Robertson virtually from the street.

However, I do not blame Fenlon the Board are ultimately responsible for this, the real problem is that they are completely devoid of any form of imagination and vision.

This isn't a criticism, but how does your nephew know how talks go ?

I am very close to someone who knew how the Taylor talks were going - they were not amateurish as they'd been on the go before the January window (I posted it back then). What was 'amateurish' was Hibs' chronic lack of pace in the deal, their chronic lack of proper valuation and willingness to commit, and the comedy offers they put in (4 in total). They could have got Lyle in January - ask Rod and Hibs why they never invested then ? I'd put it down to sheer lack of ambition. Source - someone from the SFA ! Due to Hibs' unwillingness to pay the going rate they alerted other clubs - hence we missed out. LT would have signed for Hibs as he was keen as mustard to come at one point.

Were we amateurish or not? :confused:

[jeffers]

I have heard much the same as truehibernian. Taylor was keen to come to us and we could have had him for less than what he ultimately went for. Falkirk viewed Petrie's initial offer as an insult and were furious (£25,000 initially and a further £25,000 after so many games was the figure I heard.) Amateurish ? No, I wouldn't say so, more a case of trying to get a player on the cheap - it backfired on this ocassion.

I think amateurish is a bit much but theres got to be a point where, if you are looking to spend money on a player, you have to be reasonable about it. Arsenal are the key example of that at the moment, not that Im comparing us to them but Wenger tries to do every single deal on the cheap, which has resulted in them missing out on a whole host of players who were keen to move to the club.

Griffiths was the main target, but that was always going to be a challenge to get him. If Taylor was considered the second choice, why were we only offering £25k up front - no wonder Falkirk saw it as an insult, and it would have no doubt made future negotiations even more difficult. Instead we have spent who knows how much on Collins, who I think looks like a decent player, but I dont think there was any planning to the signing as he just doesnt fit in to the system we have.

[Aldo]

I think we will see a couple if last minute 'buys' during the last day of the window.

A Matt Done type winger and another defensive midfielder.

Sorry just what I think. Not expecting much quality.

How much do you think we could of got him for had initial offers been more realistic? I did think 200-250k was a bit too much to pay for him when he went though.

[truehibernian]

Were we amateurish or not? :confused:

I didn't put that well I admit BH - the talks themselves I'm sure could not be described as amateurish - I meant that Falkirk had their valuation and a game of poker developed. Hibs then proceeded in my opinion to make silly offers and silly 'increases'. This began to annoy Falkirk who I'm told thought Hibs were just playing at it - the increases were at around £25K a time. They thought it was derisory.

Arrogant, niave, lacking ambition - who knows. I should maybe not have said amateur you're right.

[The Sea-gull]

Toaday's BBC Scottish fitba gossip column - Dylan McGeouch, young Celtic kid, they want to loan him out and we are interested.

So too are Motherwell and Ross County.

Bet he goes to Motherwell.

The kid might be higly rated and I think he is a winger/creative player so is what we need but do we want a young kid on loan. I feel we could do with abit more of an experienced player even if it means paying out a decent wage.

[gegs70]

On bbc gossip payge we are looking at McGeoch from Celtic ( along with a few clubs like motherwell so we may lose out again!).

This sounds like a serious break from our current transfer policy.

[Heisenberg]

Looks like we're at the loan signing phase then. Is this kid really the quick creative wide player we need? I'm also not keen on loaning players from Celtc, we're left short when we play them for a start.

Very little info on this thread but plenty of side splitting digs at the manager.

[PeterboroHibee]

This would be an odd signing. I dont really think it would really resolve any of our current issues, and would it arguably not be better giving the time that McGeoch would get to one of our own youngsters (specifically Stanton)?

I would rather not in case it get him in any form of trouble. However, I should have added that he works for the radio and is not a print journalist his insights have been gained in interviews and general discussions. Over the years he has been vey accurate but more importantly it is the value of his Insight. He is not or never been a Hibs fan, he has always supported Hearts despite my best efforts but his apprisals are very frank and honest.

[GreenPJ]

As has often happened with Hibs ... Griffiths for example.. Agathe, all down to RP and his tight pockets .. That is amateurish !!

Agathe's agent was at ER discussing terms when he was through at Celtic Park with his brother(?) working on a deal that the agent knew nothing about.

Griffiths as soon as he started to score goals it was always likely someone would offer higher wage or Wolves would want to keep him - the question is should Hibs have reacted earlier, however, it has to be said when Griffiths first came whilst he always had talent there were also off and onfield issues that would make the club think twice about a permanent deal. I don't beleive these rumours of £150K in January.

Very little info on this thread because Hibs do all their business in private and will be working hard behind the scenes to insure they identify and then secure the right type players to take us forward. Once a deal is complete it will be annouced on the official website.

Above is of course taken straight from the standard response the club would give. Quite right too but it is a shame that we never see much evidence of all the "hard work behind the scenes" translating into the securing of all of our signings before the seasons starts. Obviously not working hard enough behind the scenes or not offering enough £ or not convincing enough players. Or all three.

We have had months to complete a squad and should not be rattling around the dying embers of the transfer window still needing to sign key players in key positions.

Our scouting and signing policy (which seems to be overload the squad with defensive midfielders and not worry about a lack of creativity) stinks right now

I just wondered how they identify the players. Is it pat fenlon, do they have scouts that give them a list of players for certain positions, is it agents that send a list of free agents or do hibs phone other clubs for loan deals within budget. Our last signing Nelson was recomended by Jimmy Nichol?!

[Billychaotic182]

I don't want players on loan tbh. The 5-1 game is proof that loan players don't really give too hoots about there loan club. Leigh was different as he is a hibee but I can't think of another loan signing that was worth it other than Leigh and Claros?

McGivern, (I hope he's fit for saturday) but I agree, we're done with loan signings when we need a better foundation, i'm happy with loan signings once we have a complete squad but not before.. pat said he's got his eye on a few wingers, McCourt was clearly one so lets see who's next.. but before then let's hope for a bit more width on saturday

Have you ​booked the day off?

[IberianHibernian]

Will we sign anyone this week ? We need a fast winger but doubt we budgeted for Harris and Cairney to get bad injuries at same time . Short - term signing of Matt Done type player would seem most likely and I would think better than risking 2 or 3 year deal with player from lower league who might not make it in long run . Will anyone leave ? Someone on loan maybe but doubt we`d sell anyone now just because they can go free in January ( noone worth much anyway ? ) .

Well we have picked up a few, but I cannot think of a single player in the First Team squad that we can afford to lose.

[frazeHFC]

Will be a bit disappointing if we don't bring in a winger. We know PF said he is on a winger hunt so hopefully we can get one in, we definately need one.

[Col2]

We could do a lot worse than Matt Done. I know he has no pace, doesn't take on players or get involved in the game, but we really could do a lot worse.

[Wheat Hound]

In: striker and a winger ( Liam Boyce, Danny Carmichael, Dean Shiels?)

Out: ???

[Onceinawhile]

Think we will sign 2 more players, winger and a striker. Think today's bench showed that our squad is still pretty shallow.

Hopefully cairney comes back and hits the ground running like last season, as that would be like a new signing.

[IberianHibernian]

Will be a bit disappointing if we don't bring in a winger. We know PF said he is on a winger hunt so hopefully we can get one in, we definitely need one.Hopefully Harris will make a full recovery and be available for first team for December so we know if we need to sign someone in winter window Likewise Cairney . Probably easier to find that type of player in winter when players get fed up being used as subs and odd midweek reserve game but some may be available now . Winger ( Ikechi Anya ) named for Scotland squad for first time this week was recommended to Hibs several times before returning to England and is an example of type of player we might find cheaply if we look far enough . Also with LOI finishing soon Pat may have ideas there .

[IberianHibernian]

Hopefully cairney comes back and hits the ground running like last season, as that would be like a new signing.Shallow but with half a dozen players out injured or suspended we still won . Not sure if there are still rules about mínimum number of under 20 / 21 players on bench .

Defo need another striker.

What about Liam Boyce, we were interested in him before & he has been playing well for Cliftonville recently, I suppose could he make the step up would be the big question.

We all agree we need a winger just wondering who is available & would likely come to ER, I can't think of anyone, so anyone else got an idea who we could get for this position?

It was reported in one of the papers yesterday and on the bbc gossip page! Would be happy with that signing, has pace and can go past a player, even in if it is only for 6 months or so.

Ran the game in their friendly v Liverpool preseason. I think he prefers to play central but can also play wide. Anyone with pace and ability to take on players would do just now!

[Since90+2]

Dylan McGeouch is quality. Be delighted if we got him on a year long loan.

[--------]

If we expect quality signings as we all know we can forget it. My nephew who is a sports journalist gave me an insight into the club and its transfer dealing. He said that when in discussion with the manager in relation to the club's signing policy he was not struck by any degree of confidence it appeared incoherent and beyond amateurish. This is something that we all know but I am truly staggered by this. It takes me back to the days when Pat Stanton was manager and we where signing the like of Malky Robertson virtually from the street.

However, I do not blame Fenlon the Board are ultimately responsible for this, the real problem is that they are completely devoid of any form of imagination and vision.

This doesn't surprise me - I really don't believe that getting the right players in good time is a terribly high priority at ER right now. Our managers seem always to be having to make do with third- or fourth-choices because the players they really wanted have been signed by someone else, usually long after the first reports of Hibs' interest have appeared in the media.

We're so cack-handed about transfer deals we end up acting as scouts for the English lower divisions.



This isn't a criticism, but how does your nephew know how talks go ?

I am very close to someone who knew how the Taylor talks were going - they were not amateurish as they'd been on the go before the January window (I posted it back then). What was 'amateurish' was Hibs' chronic lack of pace in the deal, their chronic lack of proper valuation and willingness to commit, and the comedy offers they put in (4 in total). They could have got Lyle in January - ask Rod and Hibs why they never invested then ? I'd put it down to sheer lack of ambition. Source - someone from the SFA ! Due to Hibs' unwillingness to pay the going rate they alerted other clubs - hence we missed out. LT would have signed for Hibs as he was keen as mustard to come at one point.


Were we amateurish or not? :confused:

Unwillingness to pay the going rate, chronic lack of pace in the deal, unwillingness to commit, unrealistic valuation of the player, losing a player who was keen to sign for the club when first approached?

Sounds pretty amateurish to me, BH.

I agree that this isn't something we can blame Pat Fenlon for - this is Farmer and Petrie and the board and their attitude to the club - more concerned about how the stadium looks than the quality of the football.

I recall McGeouch playing well (as a right wing substitute) in the semi-final Celtic lost to the Yams in 2012. I don't think he has kicked on since then because he suffered a broken jaw in a friendly last August that kept him out for a big chunk of last season.

Would definately take McGeogh on loan. We couldn't really go too wrong, he has pace and skill which is what we don't have.

I mentioned it earlier in this thread. McCall was quoted on the STV website saying exactly the same thing, and they are no longer interested in him as they need a proper winger.

[Franck Stanton]

We could do a lot worse than Matt Done. I know he has no pace, doesn't take on players or get involved in the game, but we really could do a lot worse.
Okay I'll bite, this just has to be a wind-up, isn't it ? Matt Done ? Rather play Matt Munro. Geez :confused::confused::confused:

So Pat has acknowledged we need width, but does anyone have any idea who we are trying to sign?

Mind you, I don't really blame the greedy little bee for going it alone. :greengrin

[Billychaotic182]

What kinda player did that make Ritchie Towell?

It may be the poor standard of player I'm use to now but I didn't think Towell was a bad player. Was young and not very experienced. Can see him coming back to the spl and being a good solid player.

No thanks. I'd rather saw my baws off with a rusty hacksaw than develop a player for Scotland's Shame.

Here is what my Ipswich Town friend said about Josh Carson

Officially he is still an a Town player, and I say it that way because I like him but he doesn't fit Micks way. He is a decent player, technically decent player who can play on either side although he is predominantly left footed. He just doesn't track back enough, but he will create and can score goals. He has had small runs in the team, and has been called up to the Northern Ireland senior team on a number of occasions, but he just won't defend, so Mick doesn't want him.

Sounds like a decent player but needs to work on his defensive duties.

[Baker9]

He no longer supports them now he's been told he can leave so he's also an ex-tractor fan.

However if he plays in Pats favoured formation of 4-2-3-1. He may not have to track back as much with the two sitting midfielders covering for him. Sounds like a lad with decent potential, be interesting to see what he can do.

Hang on... when has Pat played this formation? It is the formation he should play but ive only ever seen 451 flat and 4411 this season. He did start 433 against Utd but that only lasted 10 mins. I would love someone to interview Pat and get him to talk us through his formations and styles of football.

Correct. Looks from the brief clips like he is quick and direct. Not saying its him but we need to add that badly. We've plenty of players who at least attempt to defend! None who can attack at pace.

Its a difficult one with the player saying he doesnt want to leave. I think its fair enough, hes a Celtic player and wants to prove himself, and he may not be as committed elsewhere. The only thing that may work in our favour (should we sign him) is if Lennon has told him that if he goes out and impresses he will be in his plans for the future.

Why we are looking at another central midfielder though Ill never know.

:agree: I don't see the point myself but PF is like the Pied Piper of Midfielders - at this rate there will be about 30 of them following him off the cliff should we fail to win enough games before xmas becasue we have very few players to supply our strikers, and probably not enough goal scorers either. We will be able to have a great ex hibs midfielders reunion though.:wink:

Done was shipped out on loan because he was low on confidence after an injury I believe. Not long before he came to use he was touted for a £500,000-£750,000 move to Palace. So was probably a fair description, just never happened for him.

If what's on here is to be believed, this boy is on his way out because of his defensive attitude, totally different kettle of fish.

It slams shut on August 31 or the nearest working day thereafter – this year the 31st falls on a Saturday so the window closes on Monday September 2, in order to complete the necessary paperwork and fire off the required faxes to register a new signing.

Can anyone e-mail the SPFL to confirm? It's.......

I would but I can't at the moment.

I thought if the last day of the transfer window fell at the weekend it closed on the next working day i.e. Monday 2nd Sept. :confused:

Not sure if the info below applies to both Scotland & England or only England.

Saturday is deemed to be a working day in Scotland. So it is 11pm on 31st August.

Below is a list of dates when the transfer window will close in some of the leagues across Europe:
Bulgarian Professional Football League: August 20, midnight.

No! Saturday!

[hibees 7062]

When does it shut? Saturday or Monday?
This is serious, if it's saturday there's no way we'll get sexybird telling us who's just signed for who etc.

I'm in a panic.
Blowing into a brown paper bag.

:tee hee: Its no full of glue is it ?

[Cracker]

Monday 11pm

[YehButNoBut]

This site gives a countdown to the transfer window closing in the leagues across Europe, SPFL has 4 days & 10 hours to go.

Meaning it does close on Saturday at 11pm.

Is Saturday not deemed a working day in England as well !!!!!!!! its the 2nd Sept for them.

[JimBHibees]

Its a difficult one with the player saying he doesnt want to leave. I think its fair enough, hes a Celtic player and wants to prove himself, and he may not be as committed elsewhere. The only thing that may work in our favour (should we sign him) is if Lennon has told him that if he goes out and impresses he will be in his plans for the future.

Why we are looking at another central midfielder though Ill never know.

He can play wide right.

Gutted i'm gonna miss the deadline day thread :(. All the banter, gifs, PH's posts and HibbyAndy's obsession with Natalie :boo hoo::duck:

[patch1875]

Going to make it more difficult to sign someone as they may hold of for a better deal down south

[California-Hibs]

Imagine the anticlimax and rage if we never signed anyone come Saturday 11pm!
A winger is an absolute MUST.

[YehButNoBut]

I would have thought with a game to concentrate on Saturday we would try to have any potential signings through by Friday if possible.

With only a few days till then there does seem a lack of any concrete rumours when we could still do with a winger, striker & defender.

Some of the names mentioned recently listed below, will we get any of them or perhaps pull one out the bag we've not heard of till he signs??

Josh Carson
Liam Boyce
Dylan McGeouch
Dean Shiels
Daniel Kearns
Joe Gormley
Tom Hately
Chris Killen

Well we're probably looking to sign players on a free so the deadline won't matter too much to us and other Scottish teams I wouldn't think

[Andy74]

Only if those players are actually released.

[JimBHibees]

More likely we will get a couple of loan players.

If Carson is training at East Mains then I hope we can sign him and get him in squad for Saturday.

Where has the names gormley and kearns came from? Haven't seen anything regarding them

[JimBHibees]

Joe Gormley is a left winger must be getting on a bit though. Got a decent strike on him also. :greengrin

Old guy joke.

joe Gormley, ex miners leader in the seventies ! an auld heed that still has a bit of pace about him.

[YehButNoBut]

Seen them on another website, Gormley is a forward who plays with Boyce at Cliftonville (scored a hat trick at the weekend) and Kearns (a N Ireland lad) is an attacking midfielder currently with Peterborough but has been out on loan in the last 2 seasons with York & Rotherham.

It's a right winger we need IMO

[tamig]

Only if those players are actually released.

Think the guy was referring to free agents who are obviously free to sign for any club at any time. Embargoed clubs excepted of course.

But then who lets their club get into such a situation where they are under embargo? :greengrin

Is there any truth in them do you know? Or is it off something like football rumours haha

[kaimendhibs]

Just Sean on twitter that the Scottish window closes at 5pm on Saturday. @STVGrant: Not only is the deadline in Scotland this Saturday, it's a 5pm deadline as well. Extravaganza plans ripped up.

Pretty sure it's 11pm on Saturday, 5pm would be a strange time with most of the games finishing around then.

Yep he's tweeted to say that it is 11pm. Quote: @STVGrant: Despite Scottish FA saying 5pm transfer deadline this Saturday, it is in fact 11pm for Premiership clubs and midnight for other SPFL teams.

You'd need to make the photo public, or tag hibs.net before non-friends can see it.
