Scottish summer transfers/contracts

[Nevi_SOL]

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.


I'm the opposite would take taylor (good striker at this level anyway)but leave eremenko(is a good footballer but his attitude stinks supposedly) opinions eh

Taylor would score goals no probs in the championship who you trying to Kid??

20 plus goals for Falkirk before his move to Sheff Utd and scored a fair few for PT whilst on loan last season. He only signed for them in Jan and helped them stay up. If he's available and we can afford him we should be in for him IMHO.

That's the $64,000 question unfortunately - How much??

He is just the type of player we need for the championship. Proven at this level etc.

[erin go bragh]

Think the article in the paper said he was available for transfer . Also said its between Falkirk and Thistle who are after him . He scored 29 goals for Falkirk in the very league were now in . Surely if Falkirk are in for him we can better any offer they put on the table .

Not sure he was better than their previous keeper? I'm not worried about Alexander being the Hearts Keeper. Also he's 36 and has played 88 games in the last 7 years.

because all 4 of them are decent players

Oh aye ok was wondering when anybody seen Alexander play last? How many times have people seen keatings play? El Hassnauoui?.seen alot of him then? Gomis was decent 1st time around at Utd.

[marti1875]

Eh? the Moroccan guy has a record of something like 20 goals in over 108 games in the 2nd teir of the country he was playing in! Hardly decent in my opinion.

Keating was a Celtic youth and was well liked at Accies
Alexander is a keeper who has played in the europa cup final.
Gomez has won the Scottish and English cups
But I know nothing about the striker

Safe to say yes that is decent signings for them. Just because it's hearts we don't have to put down every player just because they signed for them. It's a bit childish

[SMAXXA]

Becuase all 4 are decent players and above championship quality.Don't think you've seen too much of them play recently let's be honest no? Keatings didn't have people jumping up and down about him in the championship last season, gomis has been crap since he returned to Scotland, Alexander hasn't played much games in the last few years at all and I bet no one has even heard of the wee Moroccan dude so don't see how anyone can say he will be good or not

Didn't He played for Birmingham when they won the cup? If in wrong then I'm sorry haha thought he did

Was snooping on the Hibees Bounce and came accross this...

"It's my understanding that Steve Marsella has identified at least 13 players for the new manager to Choose from this list has also been shown to Leeann. However it's the manager that of course has the final say if he wants the players or not."

I for one, hope this is infact true :agree:

If hibs had signed keatings, Alexander and the Moroccan you could bet your house this thread would be full of "is that the best we can do" posts.

[Bronson]

Neil Alexander who got released by Rangers in the bottom tier?
James Keatings who I couldn't even tell you if he played against us in the play-offs?
The moroccan boy who scored 3 in 23 at his last club (works out as worse than a goal every 7 games. Minging.)

Morgaro Gomis is an okay player but in all honesty I wouldn't take him at us and that says a lot, wouldn't play him over Robertson or Stanton and I wouldn't see him as a step up from Craig or OTJ. That's with our squad at the bare bones.

Their signings do not worry me in the slightest, not at all.

Signings so far this window:

Hearts: 4
Rangers: 2

Boyd pretty much confirmed as signing for The Rangers...

Boyd and Miller are a renowned prolific partnership - good acquisition though The Rangers' long term vision is questionable after they released their best U-20 player and bring in 2 ageing players.

And its definitely been a good few signings from Hearts - Neil Alexander is a quality keeper - the only reason The Rangers released him from the bottom tier was a conflict in wage expectations.

Keating is a quality player and lit up the Championship this year and Gomis is proven at the level above this one...he'll fit in well with the Championship.

Lyle Taylor would be a start...but we really need to get a manager appointed and get on with it.

Alexander was back up to McGregor then Speroni (with one full season as first choice for Rangers), understandable his chances have been limited. Hes been excellent whenever Ive seen him play, and at 36 he should still have a few good years left in him.

As for Gomis, he was excellent in his first spell with United, and was actually coming onto a game near the end of last season. If he can maintain that form then he could arguably be one of the better midfielders in the league.

Cant say I know much about the other two, but I think Gomis and Alexander are good signings for Hearts.

Maybe you follow Dundee Utd more than I do, but I can't see where you've got that impression from. He barely played for them. 15 appearances all season (less than KT for us) and he only started 4 games all season in the league, 2 of them the last 2 of the season, and they got pumped in both those games.

Never heard of him in all honesty. No one in the championship has made a signing i'm jealous of. I'd have taken Kenny Miller at hibs but that's about it. Should The Rangers sign Boyd as well they'll make a good partnership up top but still not a team I particularly fear.

Not a Scottish transfer, but I'm not starting a new thread for English ones! Seems Man Utd are finally getting the boy Ander Herrera from Bilbao. Cant say I know much about how good he is, but it's certainly a position Man Utd need far more quality in. They still need to sort out the centre of the defence though.

Whether not they actually sign these players or not is another matter. Just crazy with all the big named players are doing the rounda in relation with Van Gaal & Man United. Will be interesting, that's for sure.

Apparently they are lining up a £34M bid for Luke Shaw as well.

Anyways, was that Lyle Taylor rumour last night a load of rubbish or does it seem a genuine rumour? Don't know who would be doing the transfer business at the club when we don't even have a manager on board yet.

If they pay £34m for Luke Shaw then that's beyond insane. Leighton Baines is twice the player, and you'd probably get him for half the price.

[PeterboroHibee]

If they pay £34m for Luke Shaw then that's beyond insane. Leighton Baines is twice the player, and you'd probably get him for half the price.

Its obviously a silly amount of money but Shaw is only 18 (19 in a few weeks), he could easily be the United and England left back for who knows how many years. Baines is 30 at the end of this year and probably has 2 or 3 years left at the very top, so hes less of an investment than Shaw.

[Baader]

Agree with you but Shaw is 18 compared to Baines who will be 30 at the end of this year.

Potentially Shaw could be their left back for the next 12-14 years...

Football is just crazy money - no doubting that.

Shaw could also not develop at all in the way they hope. You'd think they'd learn from the big money signings of Smalling and Jones (not bad players, but not good enough so far, and they certainly haven't justified their price tags) that signing the next English big thing for ridiculous sums isn't always the best idea.

[marti1875]

Of course, but theres a risk for any club buying a player (they get a serious injury, dont develop, etc). The fee being discussed is reflective of his age and the fact he is English. They could probably get as good a LB (if not better) far cheaper elsewhere but I guess signing Shaw would be seen as a bit of a coup by the club. I think the problem with Smalling and Jones is that they are both very injury prone which has stunted their development. Also Jones in particular has suffered from United deficiencies at the back and CM, where he has found himself playing in numerous positions, but imo hes too expensive and not versatile enough to genuinely be a utility player (if that makes sense).

Personally I think it may have some substance. The club are obviously aware they would need to act quickly to get him on board because he'll have plenty suitors. Although that being said we have to wait and see who the new manager will want to bring in. I'd imagine the representative of hibs who met Taylor would be Marsella, whether it is true or not remains to be seen but certainly not a pie in the sky rumour.

Agreed. Think he'll get offers from the SPL so that'll rule us out, could definitely see him scoring goals at our level though. Reckon he needs a manager who can curb his attitude however and I don't know if Stubbs has the experience for that.

Ability wise he certainly has it but I would also say no.

Wouldn't take Gomis in our midfield and it's far from perfect. Wouldn't get in my team over Stanton, Robertson and isn't a step up from Craig or OTJ.

Alexander was from The Rangers in the 3rd Division, my mates who are of the hun persuasion say he was absolute guff in that league as well. Certainly not signings I am jealous of.

I would rather have Robertson and Stanton yeah, only because of Robertsons work rate and Sammys potential! I think he would easily get into our midfield though.

Forget what they say, they are happy they can sign folk again. Tramps.

[RP1875]

Rankin would walk into our side and be our best player. Your forgetting this midfield contributed the square root of **** all and took us down.

[TheFamous1875]

Sam Stanton seems to be our best midfielder, but his age and lack of experience at this level means he needs a real leader to guide him through. Last season, Dundee United had the luxury of subbing their young players to give them a rest from first-team football - easing them in at this phase in their career.

Stanton, Harris and Forster played too many games last season, and you could tell that from their worst performances for Hibs. All good young players with lots of potential, but they need to be given a breather now and again to stop them from becoming tired, putting in bad performances and losing their confidence and having the crowd on their back.

With his background in developing youth players, I hope Stubbs is aware of this and enables our youngsters more time to become aquatinted with the rigours of first team football, otherwise we're at risk of stunting their development and throwing away their potential.

Naw Neilson saying thinks he will be the ideal partner for Wilson

[Nutmegged]

Sam Stanton looks like the real deal but we have to nurture him and protect him, not just the manager but the fans, Stanton if you belueve what you read from Hibs fans is this years Alex Harris, last summer I was constantly asking Hibees not to put to much faith in Alex because as a kid he'll need to work on developing his own game never mind being the savior of the team, same goes for young Sammy,

[bigwheel]

3 years ago and was he really any better than Craig at St Johnstone or OTJ at ICT?

Well none of those got a move down south....he was a stand out to me, and for those suggesting he wasn't a first pick for Dundee United at the time , that's simply wrong - good player , good signing

[Nutmegged]

He was a good player, time will tell if he's a good signing, I thought Utd pulled off a master stroke by re-signing him last Summer, didn't do anything of any real note though.

That being said, Rankin, Paton and Armstrong formed a pretty strong bond in the middle of the park, maybe his style didn't mesh well with theirs so looked out of sorts, a move could do him good, I'd definitely agree he was a good player but honestly cant say for sure if he'll be a good signing, thats not through bitter gritted teeth, just on the evidence of what we saw from him last Season

[gegs70]

They are putting players into an existing team that was garbage (like ours) last season.
They actually got rid of their better players from last season. Gomis is a tidy player but no superstar and only on a par with Stevenson.
If we recruit well and without Terry Butcher we should have no fear of the Yams. Although our budget has been cut it is still bigger than theirs.
Once players start to arrive the doom and gloom should start to lift. I expect our signing to be of a higher quality than theirs.

Exactly, we have just got a new manager in and signings will begin.....i hope :greengrin
Some really really need to calm down with the way they seem to be already running scared of the yams before a ball's even been kicked. My god.

Gomis, whilst WAS a good player 3yrs ago he spent over 2 yrs at B/ham and played a whopping 30 games, then about 7/8 months back at Utd and played another whopping amount of games....16!!
To me if a player is so good as some are making out he would have played more than 46 games in 3 years.
As for the others they have signed, Keatings, who basically is just a kid who most had never heard off and got an awful injury and the 2 foreign guys records aint exactly putting the fear of death into me. 23 goals in about 110 games for a striker and some defender who got dropped from a turkish B team and seems to have lost his way...i just do not get why so many say they are such good signings...just my opinion of course.

[brog]

Rankin would walk into our side and be our best player. Your forgetting this midfield contributed the square root of **** all and took us down.

I'm not sure about that but I did appreciate Rankin while he was at ER. His run at Darkheid to set up Galbraith for the winner was outstanding. The fact is though a considerable majority on here were very happy to see Rankin go yet it appears a majority on here think Gomis ( who was kept out of DU team by JR ) is a good player. Doesn't make sense. Personally I think if we signed Messi & Yams signed Lee Currie there would be complaints on here! :wink:

I dont think either situation is comparable.

Rankin was at Hibs for 4 years and he just didnt perform on a regular basis. FWIW I dont think that was solely down to him, but he had plenty of time at the club and it just didnt work out. There are plenty of examples where it doesnt work out for a player at one club but hes successful at another.

As for Gomis, he may not be playing as well as he did in his first spell with United, but in a division below I think he would be a good signing, regardless of who he is playing for.

[Turkish Green]

Personally I think if we signed Messi & Yams signed Lee Currie there would be complaints on here! :wink:

The grass is always greener, or the grass is always marooner. It is the nature of one city being divided by two teams that comparisons will be made. My only worry is that some on .net are overly concerned by what our neighbours in the west are doing rather than concentrating on things at home. 30 March 2014 is a good example: we were so engrossed in the yams pending relegation that we never saw our own demise.

Is Lee Currie going to turn out to be another Paul Hartley and return to bite us in the bum? If he does then the club has only itself to blame.

Why does the club only have itself to blame? What if LC just didn't cut it at ER. Could be many reasons why he didn't. What then if LC goes away and works hard and then gets another chance. Surely can't blame hibs here

He falls into the very poor journeyman bracket for me.

[TheFamous1875]

Hows it good? :confused:

Because on his day he's a good player who could do well in a team suited to his attributes? Playing him behind the striker as a number 10 and giving him freedom on the park so that he can create? If he has confidence and keeps fit, he'd be a great player at SPFL level. It didn't work out for him for most of the reasons mentioned, but he does have skill and I hope Kilmarnock get the best out of him and he performs to his potential.

More exciting than anybody else in the team aye. But I wouldn't say that's been very hard to achieve. We need better.

[Billychaotic182]

If we only sign players that are capable at this level then that's where we will stay.
Cairney was never good enough to be a Hibs player. I've seen fitter players playing on a Sunday lunchtime at the Gyle.

Would you rather untested English journeymen? We are never going to sign world class players. We need players who can win us the championship. Not having a go as we are all intitled to your opinions I just think he was one of the players who I would have liked to have kept

Looks like Andrew black and Euan smith have been released! Jordon foster just put on twitter

so rangers now have Jon Daly, Kenny Miller and Kris Boyd, If they can strengthen their defence they should walk the championship

[The_Horde]

Are they maybe gonna use daly at the back?

Don't forget Deano as well

I liked Paul Cairney.

And now we're at a poorer level a poor man's Paul Cairney might just do a job imo.

Cairney wasn't a bad player, just a bit lazy and slow. Talent in there though.

However if we want to get out of this division at the first time of asking we have to be looking at better options than a poor man's Paul Cairney IMO.

Hibernian are weighing up a move for former Hearts goalkeeper Jamie MacDonald. (Scottish Sun)

[RP1875]

Because IMO he's rubbish

He's already left the club though. :confused:

[eastmainsmsh]

Liked cairney as well if he had a wee bit more pace he would be playing at higher level

Would be a good signing.:agree:

[Forza Fred]

Would be a good signing.:agree:

Definitely an improvement on what we've by way of goalkeepers just now:thumbsup:

I'm an improvement on what we have just now lol

[Col2]

Just a quick update on signings this window:

Hearts: 5
Rangers: 3
Hibernian: 0

Still waiting on the promised rebuild..

Yup this is current position but season 5 weeks away so i can see it looking more like:

Yams 7
Sevco 4
Hibs 6

And then another 2-3 before end of August.

Out of these 3 i only see Boyd as being a threat for getting goals the other 2 really don't bother me to much, The Rangers will only play one upfront in games and it will more than likely be Boyd who gets the shout, folk giving the Rangers to much credit, they were pretty pish last season, Hibs will walk the championship.

Would be a very good first signing.. And would also upset the yams :-)

Absolutely, it's no wonder Hibs are seen as a walkover and a joke with the attitudes of some supporters. Soft as **** and more worried about what other teams are up to. Man up.

**** Hearts and **** Rangers. Bring them on. :take that

I'm surprised at that - Daly is a handful , would love him in our team, he's dominated us on a number of occasions . And Miller is a great partner up front - willing runner , even for his age - only last year still playing for Scotland at Wembley - I'm sure he will get 20 goals this season ...plus nicky law and the boy Clarke - they are building a strong squad for our league . We will have to dig deep to compete - interesting times

Daly never got a look in at the Ramsden Cup Final. Both the Rovers CH's played him very well.

Boyd and Miller will do okay for them next season and will be their main threat.

They are humpty at the back.

We just need to get right in about them. Let them worry bout us.

Fat Sally will see us as their rivals for top spot and didn't want us coming down to the Championship for that reason.

We will be there or there abouts come the end of the season

I see mccoist as a weak point for them. . Don't rate him as a manager - We will need to bring in at least 5 first eleven players to have a real chance next season ...if we do that then we've every chance of giving it a real go - winning a league against those two would be a good first step to earning the trust of us long suffering fans !

Totally.


I don't buy this negativity from some folk. We have as much chance as der Hun etc and yip we need a few.... Prob at least 7 prob more when you think 2 will be keepers.

As a team we should be focused on us and go out with a view to winning every game. We should fear no one IMHO.

The next few weeks are going to be interesting in terms of back room team and players.

Like your style SH, really do.
