Anyone got any info on potential signings

[VPHIBEE]

Terry has been fantastic so far. Getting us playing and winning with the same players Fenlon had really bodes well for the future. I am really excited to see who Tel brings in to improve us. Any inside info would be appreciated.

p.s. It is great to see so much positivity and optimism on here. We have all suffered for years, Thank you Terry and the Team.

Only players that we seem to have been links with is Marley Watkins from Inverness and Jamie Murphy from Sheffield United. Don't know if these rumours are true about those two players or just made up but I'm sure TB, MM & SM will be out there searching.

[thebakerboy]

TB quoted in the paper today that he had his eye on some players but manager has been sacked , player injured and other hold ups but still working on it. So figure out who has been sacked and who has recently been injured and then have some wild guesses. In Terry we trust.

[Keith_M]

It's been said already on another thread but, it's nice that we don't seem to be in the usual desperation for signings at this time of year.

I honestly don't think we really need that many new players in, because of the effect Butcher has had on the players already at the club. Compare this with the comings and goings at some previous transfer windows where we've had wholesale changes.

AVB, paulinho recently injured. World Cup star mind you ?

[California-Hibs]

We don't need wholesale changes this time round, that's for sure, and what a refreshing change it is to say that!

Vine, Tawio are the two standouts that I want gone. You could added loaning out/transfering Caldwell to that list too. Depending on what's happening with thomson and his feelings towards the club these days I possibly get rid of aswel. He's off at the end of the reason anyway.

A striker and a winger or two will be very nice indeed!

[Speedway]

Is the Rodfather feeling OK?

“The chairman backs his manager, there’s no doubt about that,” says Butcher. “We haven’t really discussed a lot of finance. But he’s said that, if we get a player I like, then he’ll get him in."

[Ozyhibby]

Think Terry picked that up wrong.
What Rod said was 'you find a player you like and I'll get you one just like him'.

A couple of good quality new faces and a few departures is all that is required at this stage of the season.

Everything you said. But I would dismiss Thomson more readily.

[thebakerboy]

Just seen Jamie Murphy playing and scoring against Aston Villa yesterday , feel he won't be coming here now.

[maturehibby]

All the "People" previously in the "Know" dont seem to have cracked the Managements team code yet as they play everything very close to their chest .
So unlike when wee Pat was there nothing is leaking out - which is good to know as it does not get the Fans hopes up on fanciful claims about who is coming

Wonder what taiwo has done wrong, always thought he gave 100%

That's the first one of your posts I have read for a long time that I wasn't sure whether you were kidding or not.

Absolute bang on.

Nothing to dislike about the guy but like many others who have come through the revolving door in recent years, nothing much to add to the team either.

[Mikey09]

Might get shot down in flames but with goodwillie ending his loan spell with utd would he be worth a shout?? Big Terry would certainly be the man to get that lad back to his best and in my opinion his best is **** hot. sorry if its already been discussed....

[Dashing Bob S]

Taiwo, like Tommo, will probably be moved on asap, as he's not in the current regime's plans. Unlike PF, Tel likes to let defenders do their job, rather than be 'protected' by a wall of slow-moving midfielders, who just invite pressure on us, and slow down our counter attacks.

Done nothing wrong at ER, just not the sort of player that fits into the current system.

[GreenPJ]

Taiwos sin is in making absolutely no difference in the team. A nice, wee safety player with zero impact on anything...and slow.

Is this not the same criticism some people would have made about Lewis up until recently. Personally I think he is a decent player but lacked the same issue of any attacking instinct in him was not encouraged under the previous style of play.

Don't see why we would keep OTJ and get rid of Taiwo (other than length of contract).

Sorry Ronnie definitely not paying anything like that. He would be within our budget if the same terms were available.

[MWHIBBIES]

Taiwo is a perfectly good player who was solid for us last season, obviously just doesn't fit in to TBs plans along with Tommo.

Both will go somewhere else and do fine IMO.

Think key word here is fine We are no longer happy to put up with that level of player we are now striving for a Excellence and Big Tell will drive us on in pursuit of it I for one am delighted with progress so far and the next phase is this Transfer Window .There is. Sense of anticipation in the air that hasn't been around for so long. There is a true belief that he can take us places that we haven't been able to reach for a long time .However Aberdeen will be aware of this and will be interested what they do in a Transfer window as they will want to stay second and have stolen a march on us. if only we had made this change before start of season !!!!

Taiwo and Thomson are a perfectly good level of player for Hibs, I really doubt they are being sold/benched because of their ability, they just don't fit Butchers system. If we played different and required those types of players they would be perfect.

He's not set the heather on fire there so i can't see him getting in Blackburns team nor can i see many stumping up a large portion of his wages after the 5 months he's just had.

I think it's a reasonable assumption that he'll be loaned out again at a cheaper price:agree:

[JIm]

Did he not submit a transfer request last season citing personal issues? If so perhaps he is looking for a move back North?

What a signing if true. Competes well in the Premiership and has done ok for Scotland.

Scored a few wonder goals at West Brom as well, fingers crossed.......

Would love him (Aaron Doran) at Hibs mate, he'd be a superb signing but alas I think he signed a new deal with ICT last season. I keep harping on about him but I also love wee Hasselbaink at Saints - nippy in all senses of the word, frustrating, but gets you off your seat when he gets the ball and runs at folk and very good technique and low centre of gravity. Him one flank, Alex the other - or Doran :greengrin

Would take Boyd to Hibs, great goal scorer and that's what win games at the end of the day, but after knowing someone who spoke to Boyd not that long ago that Boyd has been doing his badges and is looking for a move in to the coaching side of things as well, it wouldn't surprise me if he just stays at killie until the end of the season, he is the last player killie will want to leave in this window.

Do Hibs have a striker coach at EM.

Don't know mate - tell you who is doing his badges, big Darren Dods (he was taking some youth sessions recently) - tell you what, he's a big big laddie who I wouldn't want to play against even now :agree: the boy is solid. Really down to earth lad, very humble.

The sheep are after badwillie !

[brog]

This is yet another Hibs myth. I declare an interest here in that I've known Darren from the day he was born. I won't go into lengthy details but Darren was quite prepared to stay at Hibs & to take a wage cut to do so despite him being one of the lowest paid players in the team. Unfortunately the goalposts kept moving until it was not economically viable to accept Hibs offer. Do you really think he wanted to move away from home,with increased travel costs & commute, to go to mighty St Johnstone through choice? As the OP said Darren is a fine young man who has made the most of his footballing ability & has given, & continues to give 100% effort for ever club he has represented.

[truehibernian]

is that the same Darren Dods who ran a mile when we were relegated in the 90s?

Can only comment on my most recent meeting with him and he is a really decent lad mate. I'm always tempted to run a mile from Hibs but they just seem to tug away at the heart strings and pull me back in :wink:

I was told from a very good source that Thompson was told to play one touch in a training game and he refused. Malpas was taking the session and told all the players to play one touch, Thompson was taking 3 or 4 touches then Malpas asked him why and Thompson said he does not play one touch. Malpas then asked him to go home and then Thompson did and spat out his dummy. Also heard that at the Caley game at Easter Road when TB was watching Thompson signaled to the bench and asked Nicholl to sub Collins as he was not playing well. Thompson is a good player but we don't need big time charlies at Easter Road and I am glad the coaching team is making these changes. Taiwo on the other hand does not fit in, done a coaching course here in Florida and Taiwo's best mate was on the course and he said he was not in Terry's plans that was about a month ago.

If they have a striker coach he isnae doing a good job
Should follow Clancy & Mcpake oot the door.

[Iceman1875]

Love this time of year..... My own personal opinion....

Goodwillie - no thanks
Boyd - yes please
Doran (ICT) - not sure about him
Dorrans (WB) - in a heartbeat but won't happen
Shiels - hopeful
McKay - will move to championship IMO

I'd be happy to let vine, Clancy, taiwo and zoubiour go but I'd keep KT. If we can bring in two players in the mold of a goal scorer and playmaker we are set for a good second half for the season.

He is. I would've thought he'd be ideal in the middle of a midfield three with Craig and Robertson, but Butcher seems to not have the same train of thought. Can't blame him if the 'one touch' story is true. If it is, Thomson can GTF. Very good player, but no player on this planet is, was or ever will be bigger than Hibernian F.C.

Assuming that story is accurate of course.
Let's get back on thread topic We are a week into the Transfer Window and apart from links to Marley Watkins which has gone cold and Jamie Murphy which was early doors there isn't really a lot of speculation yet A few other teams have already made signings . Rod has been notorious for not allowing early signings to save cash and we end up scrambling around for loans at end of window Assume Big Tell won't want that so be interesting to see how this behind the scenes scenario plays out .The good run might mean Rod saying you need to off load players first before anyone comes in. do we know how many half season tickets we shifted as that and increased gate money which might happen now after hearts game is best way to ensure money is available

[PeterboroHibee]

I would be happy if we were to sign Boyd. Think we would require a nominal fee as he is contracted until the summer.

I dont really get why we are going for Boyd. The way we are playing at the moment requires strikers who are fairly mobile and have to work especially hard for the team and to get their chances. If anything I think we need someone quicker who can put defenders under pressure and work the channels, not someone who is a good finisher but is slower and doesnt work as hard as the players we have.

Proven goal scorer and is currently scoring goals for an average Killie side. I get your point bout him being not as mobile but think he would give us a cutting edge upfront.

Tbh I trust Butcher and will be happy with any decision.

I've read some nonsense in my time. Simply not true. If any player refused to train it would be a case for sacking him.

He's as good as sacked when not in the squad or getting a look in. Unless of course he's injured. Personally I think he's out the door.

Is that inside info or part of your wish list?

[BoltonHibee]

Was there not talk of Kevin McNaughton ex sheep full back from Cardiff.

Not sure about that.... He was on loan at Bolton, played 12/13 games or something and did very well. Cardiff recalled him ( New manager ) and he played against Arsenal at the weekend.

We have no chance of landing him on loan

[eastmainsmsh]

Is that inside info or part of your wish list?

Dont have inside info bud but think those two players could be decent additions just my opinion

Laugh is, he's on loan there from Rangers. Obviously farmed out to get experience at a higher level :greengrin

[JustSimplyHibs]

I dont really get why we are going for Boyd. The way we are playing at the moment requires strikers who are fairly mobile and have to work especially hard for the team and to get their chances. If anything I think we need someone quicker who can put defenders under pressure and work the channels, not someone who is a good finisher but is slower and doesnt work as hard as the players we have.


Have you seen the quality balls getting delivered into the box by us or late???? Boyd would thrive on them and probably score more than Griffiths.

Did you watch Boyd's movement when he played against us??? Created 3 goal scoring opportunities for Killie and IMO he was not playing to his full, unlike other recent games i.e. the goal he scored against Ross County (i think) he didnae even look to see where the goal or keeper was (that's for starters!!!!

Boyd is a quality player and with the current way we are playing (ball in the box/shot on sight) he would score 30 odd goals for us.... EASY

Cannae see it happening mind you! :wink:

Or maybe we need someone who we can get the ball up to quickly, hold it up til support arrives eg the role Collins is currently playing but Boyd is also clinical in the box which we have yet to see from Collins.

[silverhibee]

Potential in the lad. :aok:

[monktonharp]

Terry has been fantastic so far. Getting us playing and winning with the same players Fenlon had really bodes well for the future. I am really excited to see who Tel brings in to improve us. Any inside info would be appreciated.

p.s. It is great to see so much positivity and optimism on here. We have all suffered for years, Thank you Terry and the Team.I have heard, and it's only a rumour at this stage, that wee Lionel has knocked us back.

[Dashing Bob S]

I've heard we're signing Steve May and Billy MacKay, but only if we reach the championship.

[KiddA]

I've read some nonsense in my time. Simply not true. If any player refused to train it would be a case for sacking him.

You don't need to believe it but my source is a very good one hence why KT is moving on. He has also never played since the incident, also Hibs would not sack him as he would be due money. He is free to go as far as I know. My old man also seen the incident where KT was signalling to the Hibs bench to take Collins off the park V Caley. I am glad KT is moving on don't need that anywhere near the club, if KT had the right application he would be playing right now plain and simple as he is a decent player.

[Thecat23]

I've heard we're signing Steve May and Billy MacKay, but only if we reach the championship.

That's correct, both want to play in a lower league and take a pay cut to play for us because we are so famous ;)

Agree with this. His work rate against Hearts was first class too. The issue here (in reading his interviews) is that he will need to be guaranteed a starting slot so who do you drop for him? I think he's open to a move but it will need to be to a club where he can realise his Scotland ambitions among other things .. are we the right club for him at this stage therefore? I doubt it unfortunately. That said, and putting my reservations to one side, I think he'd be a great signing as we still lack the number of goals from our strikers that are needed to make us genuine contenders for second slot in the league. (I've probably gone part way to answering my own first question there...):rolleyes:

[Hibs90]

Signing Boyd would just hamper Collins development tbh.

[SMAXXA]

Signing Boyd would just hamper Collins development tbh.

Shouldn't your TBH not read IMO.

i actually disagree and think it would help his development. We all know Collins can run about daft and work his socks off but we want him to get more goals and can't think of many better at showing how it's done than Boyd IMO.

[Www1875hfc]

Be delighted to see a decent player pull on the number 9 jersey that's for sure. :agree:

[Aldo]

Have to disagree. Boyd would be an excellent addition to the team and I feel that Collins would learn a lot.

Boyd would bring goals. We are creating the chances but lack the composure. I think Boyd would bring this.

[hibernian1982]

Goodwillie is due to return to Blackburn and sounds like McNamara is looking for cover up front which suggests he isn't going back for him. I'd like to see him at ER, if only on loan for 6 months.

Sounds daft to say given he scored, but Taylor's finish against Hearts was honking. Really jammy. Coupled with the sitters he missed at Hampden against us then not sure he's all that.

[Jones28]

What's on the list for us this month?

A winger? A striker maybe?

Really rate chris Johnstone at Killie, loads of potential.

Are we willing to take chances on lower league players or will Butcher go with experience for the time being?

[sadtom]

I'd hate to see us sign that jakeball Boyd.
I remember him coming on for der huns at ER. He'd only been on the park 5 mins and he looked like i used to at 3am after a good night at Tribal Funktion.
If we are going for experiance i'd far prefer to see us go for Kenny Miller. He'd score enough, create much more and be a far better example to the younger members of the squad.
I reckon Boyd will go downhill quite rapidly in the next year or two. He hasnt looked after himself well enough. (imho)

Spot on! He did really well to break through then hit it at the only part of the goal occupied by the keeper!! I think he's a decent raw talent but he doesn't strike me as being a natural goalscorer. I wouldn't swap him for Jason Cumming, I think that lad could be exceptional.

I think Taylor believed his on hype. Scoring 29 goals in Div one in Scotland when he was with Falkirk and I think he expected to just step up and do it from the off with Sheffield Utd. Proving not to be the case.

I am however very happy with him scoring against them on Sunday.

Totally agree, once he gets that goal for the first team there will be no stopping him - he is a player that will be worth millions with the right upbringing and a place to flourish.

What?
Don't understand most of this but of course Petrie will be controlling the purse strings. Butcher will be well aware of his budget and will identify and try to sign players accordingly. I think it has been documented elsewhere that players have been told they are free to move on and no doubt moving them on will affect what we can bring in. That's good financial management in my opinion. This transfer window should be about bringing the right players in rather than bringing players in for the sake of it as has been done so many times in recent years. Butcher will have his targets and I'm sure they will be realistic targets and, in my opinion, he should hold out for them.

[Paloschi]

So to summarise the rumours:

Goalkeepers in: none

Defenders in: Alan Hutton (highly doubt this one)

Midfielders in: Marley Watkins, Aaron Doran (ICT link), Graham Dorrans.

Forwards in: Jamie Murphy, Kris Boyd, David Goodwillie, Stevie May, Kenny Miller, Lee Tomlin, Billy McKay (ICT link)

Players out: Tim Clancy, Kevin Thomson, Rowan Vine, Tom Taiwo, Ross Caldwell (loan - maybe)

Can't think of anymore to add to the list?

IMO only Watkins, Boyd and Doran seem viable but it is great ambition if we are in for players like May and Dorrans :agree: I would also like us to look at some of the young players in the Championship (Div 1) although our youngsters are doing great!

That looks like a wildly implausible list of targets!
Even the players you deem viable would be a stretch. Doran on a long contract now and would cost a few bob and there is no chance Boyd will join another Scottish team this month. Maybe a pre-contract offer for Watkins followed by cheeky, low bid.

I remember a friendly against Huddersfield 2 years back that finished 2-2 (Ivan's screamer with his LEFT foot) young boy on the wing Sean Scannell. He was outstanding, strong, direct, flair. Even hibs fans applauded him when being substituted. This is the type of player we need.

I'm deeply sceptical about every name on that list except the departures. Wishful thinking on the part of the posters and/or their sources, I'd say. I'd be VERY surprised indeed if any of those names figured on our team-sheets any time this century.

Nothing new there tbh. Would be a good addition but I cant see it now he's back in the team and scoring. Hopefully get some transfer movement soon.

This is now coming up regularly enough in the papers over the last few weeks to suggest there is definite interest. This has beenthe strongest link to a player we have had so far this window. He seems in favour at SU again but they may feel that it would be helpful to off load some wages to get someone else in especially if JM is say homesick and wants away, even only for a few months. I think the talk of him saying he does not wish to engineer a move translates as "I'm not going to throw the toys out the pram and ask to get away but if there is an option then I will consider it".

I saw a lot of Scannell when he was at Palace & he looked to have great potential. Seems to have lost his way a bit at HT, last I saw him he was a sub. Interestingly HT do have a prior supposed target for us ( Callum Woods ) on their books but he's kept out the team by Paul Dixon, ex Dundee Utd. Anyway, SS cost about £1mm when he signed a 3 year deal 18 months ago so he is not a realistic target though I agree someone with his pace & directness is what what we need.

[JimBHibees]

He would be excellent just hope you are right about contract position.

[The Sea-gull]

Where you heard this? Can't imagine Celtic would be after him and apart for them, I reckon only us and Aberdeen compete financially. Would be an unbelievable signing!

Not so sure that it won't be Celtic. I get a funny feeling he would be theirs and Lennon's type of player. A cheap, young Scottish player who is proving to have a bit of talent. I actually think Celtic would be better going for Griffiths who is maybe just that wee bit more ready and quality than May.

May would actually do well to stay at St Johnstone for another 18 months or so and then move. Don't see any point in him going to an Aberdeen or a Hibs though having said that a move up to a bigger club, a wee bit more money and a good 18 months at one of these clubs would further enhance his reputation.

Agree, if it is not Celtic then it can only be us or Aberdeen maybe Dundee Utd though they have just signed a striker so probably rules them out unless the new guy is to replace Cifti (who is rumoured to be interesting clubs) and May would replace Goodwillie (who is apparently seen as an expensive substitue by Jackie Mac) with the money coming from the sale of one of their £50m rated youngsters.

Unless ICT, Motherwell or St Mirren are selling someone and plan to use the money to get May but 1. they would not spend the sort of money required and 2. why would May go to any of them as it would be a sideways step.

One thing is for sure, it is no Hearts! Unless that is what is behind the begging to get their embargoi lifted. Now that would be interesting. :cb:devil:

Not sure if Josh Meekings is a priority as we are well covered at CH. Think forward/attacking wide players is our priority along with cover at right back.

@GraemeBailey: Hearing that Hibernian are lining up a move for their former forward Dean Shiels - currently at Rangers.

Guy works for Sky Sports so a decent source I'd imagine. Would take him back but he won't be fully match fit.

Signed for Newport County

This is now coming up regularly enough in the papers over the last few weeks to suggest there is definite interest. This has beenthe strongest link to a player we have had so far this window. He seems in favour at SU again but they may feel that it would be helpful to off load some wages to get someone else in especially if JM is say homesick and wants away, even only for a few months. I think the talk of him saying he does not wish to engineer a move translates as "I'm not going to throw the toys out the pram and ask to get away but if there is an option then I will consider it".

Just saw an interview with Terry where he says how frustrating the window can be with managers being sacked (assuming MacKay at Cardiff) and players being injured and also getting back in the team and doing well (to me this sounds very much like Murphy).

Read yesterday that Killy are trying to sign that eremenko boy they had on loan.

[Andy74]

Don't know if its been mentioned but Butcher has confirmed Murphy is definitely not coming having spoken to Clough.

Levy got a great deal there. 8mil for him. I'd fly him myself

Terry's really ruining this transfer window by being open & telling us we lost out on Murphy because he started scoring!! Its really rubbish trying to guess who we may be signing when the Manager tells us!! Seriously, absolutely correct not to sign someone just for sake of it. Only sign players who can take us forward, in Tel we trust!!

that's a serious amount of cash spurs have raked in in the last several months, over 90Million
