Scottish summer transfers/contracts

[Bronson]

Any truth in hibs' interest in Brian Graham? Wasn't impressed with him at all at Dundee Utd if I'm honest, not keen myself.

Wasn't impressed with him at Utd either. Although he did score a load of goals for Raith in the Championship the season before

Neither was I but think he scored a few at this level. Depends on our playing style for the new season. He struggled in a quick, fast, counter attacking team but so did David Goodwillie.

I would not be against this as he has proven his worth in the Championship.

In other news Hearts are after James Keatings from Hamilton. Didn't really notice him against us.

[Bronson]

Aye he did have a good return for Raith, not writing him off I just hoped for better although I am aware that beggars can't be choosers.

I know this has been done to death, but until they are out if admin then they cant register anyone unless the get permission as a one in one out situation. Afaik they are STILL in admin?? Dont see them signing someone, paying them, until they can register/play them? But hey its a good way of having another dig at hibs, cos even the yams are 'signing' players.
Thats not a dig at you BMD but its common on here.

According to the Scotsman they will be out of admin next week
Radio also reporting that Hearts are about to sign Craig Gordon.

Strange about Gordon as one of the papers today has Gordon as almost a done deal going to Celtc not them. Sayshe's had a medical and all that and negotiations have been ongoing alongside their new manager saga.

I guess the new manager has had some input to the signing .....or is that jus a ridiculous idea ?

Please don't tell me you got his name of hibs transfer rumours?

[Marty-Hibee]

With regards of people "in the know" and having sources etc, who actually know's about a transfer? This isn't a dig at people who have genuine sources, just curious as to how many people on average know about official transfers? For instance, do the players actually know who we're interested in? Or is it limited to manager/chief execs/agents/lawyers?

Genuinely intrigued, my knowledge of a transfer doesn't go any deeper than how it's processed in Football Manager, and even that confuses me sometimes!

[itslegaltender]

He just tweeted that story now! ;o)

[Aldo]

He just tweeted that story now! ;o)

His name is on the rumours website though along with Rodman being TB's first 2 signings of the summer.

[Brightside]

U might need to take Hanlon and Stevenson out it though

Hanlon is staying.

@Al_Coleman93: @Timmins98 it'd be an honour to play for a team as big as Hibs with such great fans but I haven't heard anything from them. Not yet anyway

Looks like he's keeping us sweet anyway :greengrin

[CallumLaidlaw]

Mark Ridgers has signed for St Mirren today.

They can be signed they can't be registered. At least that's my understanding.

[blackpoolhibs]

A development squad player apparently Aldo...........Gareth Bale at Hibs....mare chance of Gareth Hale signing :greengrin

At least he has Pace.

Gomis is one of them 110%
Keatings and either McGregor or Alexander.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Dundee have made some decent signings.

[Unseen work]

Dundee have made some decent signings.

Agreed especially adding ferry who is another technically good midfielder

Scott Bain was brilliant last season at Alloa

Kevin Thomson was our best player by a mile IMO and will strive in hartleys team

James mcpake brilliant for 6 months then tailed off especially with all his injuries. Get him fit and he will do a job for Dundee

Along with the other players they already have and other recruitments they will make, looks like his contacts is getting him a good standard of player

Thommo and Ferry will be a good centre mid pairing for them, IMO.

[Unseen work]

:agree:

Thommo and Ferry will be a good centre mid pairing for them, IMO.

Yeah can see them being good together as both like the ball on the deck and will dictate the tempo.

Would be very excited if I was a Dundee fan :agree:

[Hibiza]

@SFL_DivisionOne: Ross County have signed Raith Rovers winger Joe Cardle on a one year deal!

every game ive seen him, he always stands out.

[Aldo]

every game ive seen him, he always stands out.

Mate is a Raith Rovers fan and says in games he is excellent but needs to find a bit more consistency.

Think he'll do well for RC!!

[CallumLaidlaw]

@ScotlandSky: Hamilton @acciesfc sign Dougie Imrie on a one-year deal.

[weonlywon6-2]

Brilliant news. Hopefully Nelson is off ski then. I'm faster than him and I'm slow!!

Nelson still thinks were in extra time in the hamilton game hes that slow

[S4uzee]

@ScotlandSky: Hamilton @acciesfc sign Dougie Imrie on a one-year deal.

Jeeez he's awful

[Hibeesmad]

Ross County sign Jake Jervis who was at Portsmouth last season. Personally think that's a great signing, I've seen quite a bit of him and he looks good, only young too

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I see Watford have released Ross Jenkins... Good player when playing week in, week out. I hope Butcher knows about his availability.

[biggineurope]

At least he has Pace.

:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Former St Johnstone midfielder David Robertson has signed fot Livie.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Gunning failed his med at Sheff Wed.

[hibees 7062]

Gunning failed his med at Sheff Wed.

And Birmingham , The Rangers bound now

[SMAXXA]

Hanlon is staying.

Only if he doesn't find another club as he's under contract. He's been told he can leave

[leither17]

Darren McGregor is going to the Rangers 4k a week

[Unseen work]

Darren McGregor is going to the Rangers 4k a week

They really don't learn there lessons, yeah he is good but 4k a week and he is 28?? More than doubling what he would of been on at st mirren

[leither17]

They really don't learn there lessons, yeah he is good but 4k a week and he is 28?? More than doubling what he would of been on at st mirren

6k if they get promoted too

[hibees 7062]

Darren McGregor is going to the Rangers 4k a week

And they are paying Gunning 3k a week

[Brightside]

Only if he doesn't find another club as he's under contract. He's been told he can leave

This is causing lots of ranting and raving....ALL players were informed they could leave if they wanted to. Thats now turned into Everyone has been told to go. Hanlon has not been told to leave.

[HibbyAndy]

Hanlon will stay and he will be the club captain.

FACT.

[weonlywon6-2]

They really don't learn there lessons, yeah he is good but 4k a week and he is 28?? More than doubling what he would of been on at st mirren

To be fair they were paying a dam lot more than that for.players several years ago.

[weonlywon6-2]

Dundee have made some decent signings.

If dundee are clever they have the chance to be one of the bigger clubs in the premier.I think hartley may do well with them,far bigger than united if they were succesful

[HibbyAndy]

If dundee are clever they have the chance to be one of the bigger clubs in the premier.I think hartley may do well with them,far bigger than united if they were succesful

Agree.

Dundee have a bigger support than utd

[blackpoolhibs]

Agree.

Dundee have a bigger support than utd

I'd say thats very debatable now, they did have when i was growing up in the 60s and 70s, but years of mismanagement and a United team that won the league and a few cups and competed in the top league for what seems like ever, means their support through the years has grown.

[delbert]

Hanlon will stay and he will be the club captain.

FACT.

Please God No ! A player who has never developed beyond mediocre and who has been responsible for numerous defensive lapses and calamities for almost 5 seasons and who physically has been unable to stand up to the challenge of almost every centre forward in the SPL and SPFL over the same period of time. Can it really be coincidence that our defence has leaked horror goals and been Tom Kite over the entire time this guy has played, is it really concievable it was always 'the other guys fault' ? A nice bloke and player who gives one hundred percent but ultimately not good enough and never will be and as for captain of Hibs, haven't we got it wrong quite enough times recently ?

[Del Boy]

In the city of Dundee I think both clubs support is roughly the same, however in surrounding areas uniteds is far bigger.

[SHODAN]

Hanlon will stay and he will be the club captain.

FACT.

Good.

[Aldo]

Hanlon will stay and he will be the club captain. FACT.

This.

[SMAXXA]

This is causing lots of ranting and raving....ALL players were informed they could leave if they wanted to. Thats now turned into Everyone has been told to go. Hanlon has not been told to leave.

Ok I'm wrong then :confused:

Your actually incorrect not all players were told they could leave but don't let that get in the way. Was Robertson and Forster told to leave aswell as Jason?

[SMAXXA]

The only FACT is you can't actually factually say that because we don't know which players will be starting this season at hibs at the moment.

[greenpaper55]

Hanlon will stay and he will be the club captain.

FACT.

Hope not, Mediocre at the best of times, if this is the best we can do for club captain then it's time to chuck it !, if he is so good why has not one club ever made an offer for him ?, a good Hibby like Hunter and Rae but we have to be better than that.

[James70]

I think that Hanlon was badly missed towards the end of the season and I reckon our survival chances would have been much greater if he had been not been injured.

[steviehibsleith]

Hanlon will stay and he will be the club captain.

FACT.
Paul Hanlon is 24 pretty much in his prime if he is as you state as fact going to be our captain next season this then confirms my opinion that he is not that good. The decent players will remain in the top division or go down south, it has been well highlighted in the press our financial position and cost cutting that has to be made.

[delbert]

I think that Hanlon was badly missed towards the end of the season and I reckon our survival chances would have been much greater if he had been not been injured.

What was badly missed throughout the entire season, not just at the end, was any quality defenders on our books at all, we had a mixture of over the hill journeymen and out and out garbage, the results when he was in the team were rubbish as well and to try and say otherwise is nonsense. Paul Hanlon was an integral part of the worst Hibs team in a generation and as such, along with most of his team mates, should be punted, just not good enough to contribute to taking Hibs forward.

[Smartie]

I thought Hanlon was immense in the first half of the season and our downturns in form coincided 100% with his injuries.

He had a minging game at home to Dundee Utd but that was about the only bad game I remember him individually having.

Bear in mind that we had a very unsettled back four that at times had Stevenson at right back, a hopelessly out-of-form McGivern at left-back and Nelson in there full-stop and he had a job on his hand to hold that together.

He's the one player from the whole squad that I'd be hanging onto and building it all around and I'd be genuinely gutted to see him go.

He needs to stop doing the raking 70-yard Zambernardi crossfield ball though. Gets right on my thrupnies that does.

Its all about opinions and I guess we just won't ever see eye to eye re Hanlon. 5 seasons ago I thought we had unearthered ourselves a gem but I honestly think that he just has never developed into anything like the commanding centre half we hoped would replace Rob Jones. Indeed if he was a player at all, he would surely have stood out like a beacon in amongst the other dross you listed, and he simply hasn't. It should be remembered in fairness to Paul, that he arrived from Hutchy as a midfielder but someone at Easter Road in their wisdom decided he was tall, so he is a centre half. In my opinion this has proved a mistake, he has never developed the upper body strength to dominate big, aggressive opponents and has been found out in 50/50's countless times. I have to say I do agree re his distribution, which at times rivalled Nelson, I wish he was going to be a really top centre half to build a team round, indeed it would be great to be proved totally wrong, but I doubt I will be.

Fair enough and I accept that that type of opponent really shows up his achilles heel. I'd like to see a totally no-nonsense centre-half next to him who could potentially pick up that type of opponent from him if reqd. I see him more as the sweeper in a partnership than the one who commits and wins the ball. Him and someone like Bamba would be ideal.

[weonlywon6-2]

Agree.

Dundee have a bigger support than utd

I lived up there when i was young and they had a lot of local supporters compared to united who were very good at the time.

We only won one game all season in all competitions that Hanlon wasn't playing in - the play-off game at NDP (he played in the other ten wins). Having said that, he still played in another 24 games we didn't win this season. I would go with the comment on here about him needing a ball winner next to him, similar to how eg Hogg was better with an on form Bamba or Jones next to him.

Nathaniel Wedderburn of C'beath is the nearest to Sol I've seen in a long time - looks a real prospect and I'd love to see this lad at Hibs next season.

[edwards]

Hanlon will stay and he will be the club captain.

FACT.


He can stay but surely no as club captain would like to see and experianced central defender in there with him, a right back and left back.

My thoughts exactly. Think he improved massively and I reckon he's got more improvements to come. Still young for a CB.

[Unseen work]

Paul is a big lad but for me iv never seen him annoyed or wound up, would quite like to see him get a bit more pi**ed off and show his aggression.

Think he is a good player and makes alot of good blocks in and around the area

[PeterboroHibee]

What if he wants to stay at the club? Maybe hes happy playing for the club he supports, and wants to help us getting back up to the SPFL.

NONSENSE Just look at Hibs performances without PH in the team The defense has been a shamble without him I will sit back now and wait for all the negative comments to roll in All the managers including the Scotland u/21 bosses can`t be wrong Just as well all you keyboard managers are not in charge

[HibbyAndy]

The only FACT is you can't actually factually say that because we don't know which players will be starting this season at hibs at the moment.

Like i say , I know for a fact PH will be at Easter rd next season.


No really caring what others think.

It was a shambles with him as well and has been for years

Responsible for loads of goals over the years due to ball watching, being bullied off the ball and inability to clear the ball more than 15 feet

[Brightside]

guff. do you mean our only defender who passes the ball to the midfield? HOOF NO MORE

[AlbertK86]

guff. do you mean our only defender who passes the ball to the midfield? HOOF NO MORE

Yep agree he is the best passer at times but he is also prone to a few hoofs as well

First and foremost he should be able to defend and in MY opinion he can't

[mentalhibee]

Like i say , I know for a fact PH will be at Easter rd next season.

Great news if true, our best player.

No you dont

[delbert]

Great news if true, our best player.

If Paul Hanlon is Hibs best current player, then I am now crystal clear why the team got relegated !

[Unseen work]

Great news if true, our best player.

Well.... There's not exactly much players to compete with.... Hahaha

[HibbyAndy]

No you dont

Yes i do.

[Aldo]

It's quite funny really that the lads been out for ages and yet he's still getting slated.

I actually laughed at this.

[SMAXXA]

Yes i do.

Om what basis? Again no you don't

[HibbyAndy]

Om what basis? Again no you don't

The basis that i know.

Aye a do.

[Hero76]

Hanlon needs to leave with lewis, ryan and nelson.

[SMAXXA]

The basis that i know.

Aye a do.

But how do you know? It's ridiculas that your saying that because you don't and cannot know for a fact he will be here. I think you should maybe say you think he will be here next season.

I think what's trying to be said is he will be here unless the club receive an offer for him?.

I assume HA has spoken to Hanlon or something. That being said, I agree with what you have said in bold. No matter what Paul or anyone else has said, if an English club came-a-calling with a decent offer for both Hibs and PH, he would be off.

I am convinced that there are some real gems in the Scottish lower leagues (and even non league) and that a decent scouting system should be in place to find them. these are young, hungry players and very often better than the lower English league dross that we end up with.

He's a very good player imo and I would love Hibs to push the boat out and try and get him but unfortunately in this day and age it is near on impossible with the wages that Rotherham(!!) are going to offer him to stay, never mind the teams that are interested in him.

Fairly straightforward and accurate summary of the situation. No point getting players in before the manager if it can be avoided, we don't have a lot of money so the cash that is there is going to have to be spent a whole lot better than we have spent recently.

Much as I share the frustration there isn't really much that could be done differently - at least once we were relegated.

We had announced Leeann Dempster at the end of April and she started 1st of June.
10 days in the job and she's sacked the manager - a correct decision for me.

We're now left with options of either rushing the manager choice or trying to sign players without a manager which both sound like very, very bad ideas.

About the only things we could have done differently were emptying Butcher earlier but I'm not sure it would have helped doing it before the play offs and it would have felt a bit wrong to do it days before she started.

Certainly not happy and fearing the traditional Hibs transfer window nonsense but so far she seems to be shaking the club up in the right way and I'm really not sure we could expect anything different.

The one thing I'm holding her to is the statement that indicates we're aiming to win the Championship.
It's a perfect bulls**t barometer - especially if combined with the remarks about a smaller squad with higher quality.

If winning the league is genuinely the aim then it will be backed up with ambitious signings - anything else is just pish and wind.

Rangers have made a couple of good signings, and I'd have taken them both, but I expected that.

Hearts signings. Did Keatings play against us in the playoff cos I don't remember him at all, and Morgaro Gomis, he's a good signing......3 years ago, what's he done since he left Dundee Utd the first time? Failed to get a regular game in the worst Birmingham team for years, came back to the SPL and failed to get a regular game here too. Who is the third signing they've made?

There are loads of players out there and available. Once we get as manager in place, which will be soon, we'll see just how honest LD was being when she said we were targeting winning this league. We have a small squad just now, but 3 or 4 actual good players brought in would make us a lot better.

Can't remember if he played in second leg

Was at Celtic and took step down so think they are signing potential as opposed to finished article. saying that he scored 15 goals last season in championship which isnae a bad return

The day we got relegated an extraordinary board meeting could have been held and Butcher sacked straight away, it had became more and more apparent that the persistent tactic of pumping balls in to the channels was never going to do. Petrie should then have tendered his resignation on the account that he has been responsible for making a total pigs ear of a job during his entire reign at Hibs. The new CEO could then have started immediately with the task of finding a new manager and then the new manager would have had the decision who should be retained or let go. As usual Hibs have made a pigs ear of it.

I think there is more than a case to suggest that you may be making the in bold part up, considering the view of the Hibs fans of Butcher pre and most certainly, post relegation!

People are moaning because we need to build a team good enough to make a realistic challenge to the ugly twosome to get this major Scottish club back up to the top league. With the players due back next week the additional players we need should already have been identified by the manager, the one we don't have yet.

Moaning for the sake of it, are you sure? With apathy like that we may just get relegated........... Remember, we managed to do it all by ourselves, the other two needed penalties from financial wrong doing to find themselves where we are.

Not disagreeing and there's a huge part of me thinks Butcher should have been emptied the Monday after the playoff.

That said there was 1 week between losing the play off and Leeann Dempster starting and I'd lay good money on that date being contractually set in stone with no option to get her in earlier.

I also think it's important to bear in mind just how significant that decision is for how she is going to do her job:

Had the decision been made before she arrived it would have been unfair - sacking Butcher will have radically altered a budget that had already had the crap kicked out of it by relegation.

I think it had to be her call as to whether she'd rather try to rejuvenate the team under Butcher and with more money or whether she wanted someone new and was prepared to accept the reduced budget that would entail.

If anything, I feel she shouldn't have taken 10 days to make that call but I'm also not party to whether that time was used to advance the search for a replacement in the knowledge she knew what she was going to do.

Definitely not being an arguementative sod btw - completely agree Butcher and Petrie needed punting and I'd have hoped we'd be further down the road with a new manager in place and signings on the way by now......

Petrie, for all his meddling, shirked the responsibility. Maybe he was wishy-washy about TB's position but he left the decision to LD. LD arrived on 1st June. By then Butcher was away on holiday so LD had to wait until Butcher returned and they had their meeting on the 9th June. This suggests to me that Hibs were still undecided about TB, otherwise they could have convened a board meeting on 2nd June and sacked TB by a phone call. (That was one week wasted).

I am still not 100% sure that when LD (and RP) went into the meeting on Monday 9th that they had already decided to sack TB. But that was the final outcome. Maybe TB just could not grasp LD's new dawn.

It is now 17th June. Training starts on Monday 23rd. Are Hibs any further forward?

Hibs should not measure themselves by the performance of others. But this is football. Whatever the maroon half of the city do, the green half have to do better. That is the nature of the fan rivalry. To be enjoying the misfortune of the yams for much of the season only to end up in the same doo-doo at the end is indefensible. Heads should have rolled much sooner than thy did.

The management at Hibs made one huge mistake in not bringing in players during the January window. If that decision was Butcher's then he should have been sacked the morning after relegation not wait until the 10th of June. If it was Petrie penny-pinching again then he needs to go. Out damn spot, out.

Does that make sense?

If he leaves the decision to others, then he's shirking his responsibility. If he makes a decision then he's meddlling.

Make up your mind - what one is it?

As TB's sacking, that was a huge decision, which was quite rightly taken by the newly appointed CEO with the unanimous backing of the board.

I too would have liked it to have happened a week earlier, but as it didn't there was obviously a good reason.

Some difference from his time at hearts, this picture v killie is a belter.

Fair play to the guy, clearly worked hard and he's in great shape now. Still a sh*t player though.:agree:

[Billy Whizz]

Panic buys.

Or maybe the ones Marsella had lined up for TB

[blackpoolhibs]

Well i'd let TB sign them for whoever he takes over in the future.

Nobody probably, TB's stock has bombed!

[SMAXXA]

Panic buys.

So by that logic are all signings we and other clubs around this time all make all panic buys?

[weonlywon6-2]

Christian Nade has signed for Raith Rovers

Great move for him,theres a McDonalds nearby,who said he was useless ??

No just Hibs.

I reckon new manager in place end of the week friday probably to tie it in with the new sponsor announcement. Could it be that the new manager has been hired and players are being signed on the QT and announced on friday again with the new sponsorship and strip unveil

This is Hibs what do you really think :)

[essexhibby]

Signings made so far:

Hearts: 3
Rangers: 2
Hibernian: 0

Still waiting on us getting our **** together..

Some teams never learn. Does anyone really believe that either of them can actually afford the players they are signing? They're living beyond their means and they're both going to end up going into admin again because of it. I'd rather we signed no-one than try to win the Championship by cheating.

Hearts certainly look like they're spending within their means this time.

No doubt they'll replace him with someone of similar quality out of nowhere.

Certainly seems to be the way round there - and has been for many years now.

Won't say Hearts are doing that now. The players they have signed are within their means. Gomis, Keatings and a Dutch 2nd division Moroccan striker.

How does he compare to James Collins? He scored 18 goals in league 1 two years ago

Seen the guy a couple of times last season wasn't overly impressed. I may have caught him on off day. Like I said time will tell and I wish him luck.

This is who we should be signing for a start. Manager in place or not. Proven goalscorer in Scottish football and someone fans will want to see play week in week out.
Kilmarnock are an interested party but shouldn't be beating us to this type of player if we offer a contract regardless if we're in the first division.

LD get him signed....... please.

Loves a fight and bevvy too so would definitely fit in well.

Career heading down the pan much like Riordan/O'Connor did. Underwhelming would be a kind way to describe his loan spell at Utd last season. I'd take him since we have no one up top but he's not as good as some people would have you believe.

Think he would be different if we gave him his first proper club since Dundee Utd (first time round). Make him one of our main front two strikers. Too much expectations of him at Blackburn and the the rest of the clubs he's been at have been loan spells so think he would do as good, if not better than his first spell at tannadice.

[Brightside]

No thanks. Not the kind of player we need to rebuild the club.

[.Sean.]

Goodwillie's a bevvy merchant who loves nothing more than paggering rugby types.

For those reasons alone he should be offered a 3-year deal. :greengrin


**** all this pish about no signing 'certain types', he can go up the town every night of the week as long as he can produce on the park. Which he most certainly can, unlike our previous/ current bevvy merchants.

Agreed!

[Oscar T Grouch]

Really? Sign a player who has shown no form, has a real problem with alcohol and hasn't got any better by going down to a decent team in a better league than us? Personally I would like to see us go down the European way. Where drink is seen as bad, a substance that really shouldn't be used by athletes because it stops the recovery of the body.

[Unseen work]

Because he goes out sometimes isn't a bad thing. Guaranteed if he signed he would be one of the fittest players in the team. Constantly in the gym

Get him signed

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Hearts get the Gomis deal done.

[mentalhibee]

I'd take a chance and sign Goodwillie. Good age, still got bags of potential. Might take inspiration from what Leigh and stokesy done at Hibs!

[Franck Stanton]

Me too, good player and who cares what he does [within reason] on his own time ? Knows the way to goal, hope we do sign him.

[number9dream]

Eremenko is moaning that he's not heard anything from Killie. He's only 31 and could surely do a job for us, with Stanton and Harris learning a thing or two from him.

Taylor I'm not so sure about. He scored a few for Thistle but was on the bench more often than not as the season progressed.
