Scottish Summer Transfers/Contracts (Second Attempt)

[Mikey]

The original transfer speculation thread has gone a bit wonky so we're going to start afresh.

The rules for this thread are...........

Any false or misleading information gets removed.
Any puns get removed.
Any off topic crap gets removed.
Any repeat offenders get removed altogether.

A lot of people rely on this thread for their Hibs transfer news so let's keep it relevant.

[sleeping giant]

Hibs.net re-sign Mikey :greengrin

Firstly...Welcome back Mikey !!!
A winger from Boro ( Halliday) sp
Loan
probably gash,,but

Andrew Halliday might or might not have started out at Livingston? Not sure what he has done since. Much fancied 5 seasons ago or so...

[Hibeesmad]

Someone who claims to have a credible source told me that Mark Oxley is in Edinburgh and will be in the stands watching the game tomorrow with an expected announcement to be made on Monday about him joining on a season long loan. Presumably he will then be in the team for the East Fife game on Wednesday.

The same source has also said that there may be another 1 or 2 possible incoming players in the stand tomorrow but no names were given. Just passing on what I've been told from someone

If he's in Edinburgh he'll surely play tomorrow?

[Iggy Pope]

If he's in Edinburgh he'll surely play tomorrow?

Only if him and his club have agreed to the deal?

[Hibeesmad]

If he's in Edinburgh he'll surely play tomorrow?

I just assume he is up here settling in and having a look around the place and to experience the stadium etc tomorrow. I just got told he's expected to be announced Monday or possibly even late tomorrow

[Aldo]

Firstly...Welcome back Mikey !!! A winger from Boro ( Halliday) sp Loan probably gash,,but

Halliday is a winger and got a move to Boro following some very good performances.

If he could recapture his form I think he would do well........ That's if the rumour is true??

PS Welcome back Mikey!!

[Speedway]

Clarkson was in talks last week with the outcome unknown.

[sleeping giant]

Clarkson was in talks last week with the outcome unknown.

I assume if he was in for talks then Stubbs must want him.
I would also therefore assume that an offer had been made and we are awaiting a decision.
Hope we have given him a deadline to decide.

[sleeping giant]

What's happening with this Hope guy too ?
All gone quiet in that front.

got call from friend,,but per usual could be totally crap,,i keep moaning about us (hibs) lacking in PACE....per usual its a wait and see
can anyone confirm that Lukaku has signed for Everton,,that may speed up our Hope loan

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Clarkson was in talks last week with the outcome unknown.

David Clarkson? We could do better, in my opinion

[Aldo]

At the moment you never know..... Just look at the Allan signing. Not a peep from the club then he's signed. Never say never. If the toffees sign Lakaku that might speed up Hope deal.... That's if we are in for him??

[bingo70]

What's happening with this Hope guy too ?

He's on the Everton pre season tour in Thailand I think it is.

He won't be joining us imo

Yip.... McFadden

AS has confirmed he's talking to Everton re loan signings. Everton are currently in Thailand & Hope is with them so unlikely anything is imminent. Lukaku has not yet signed.

Cheers Brog. Looks like we will just have to wait and see then.

[LancsHibs]

Everton u21s played at Rhyl today, wonder if Stubbs or anyone from Hibs were at the game? Been trying to find the team to see if Hope or any of the others who have been mentioned were playing

[bingo70]

Everton u21s played at Rhyl today, wonder if Stubbs or anyone from Hibs were at the game? Been trying to find the team to see if Hope or any of the others who have been mentioned were playing

Anybody we get on loan from Everton will be from that team. No chance we'll get anybody that's currently away with the first team.

[Hibeesmad]

Everton u21s played at Rhyl today, wonder if Stubbs or anyone from Hibs were at the game? Been trying to find the team to see if Hope or any of the others who have been mentioned were playing

“@Everton: Everton XI v Rhyl: Griffiths, Kenny, McLaughlin, Langton, Pennington, Green, Dowell, Williams, Walsh, Grant, C.Duffus”

“@Everton: Everton subs: Burgess, Jones, Ledson, Charsley, Dyson, Byrne”

Hope is in Thailand with the first team.

[Hibeesmad]

The youngsters gone to Thailand with the first team are Luke Garbutt, Chris Long, Hallam Hope, Tyias Browning, Conor McAleny, Matthew Kennedy and John Lundstram.

[patch1875]

Was duffus not with us last season.

[JimBHibees]

He's on the Everton pre season tour in Thailand I think it is.

He won't be joining us yet imo

That could still happen IMO depends on what Everton do.

[bingo70]

That could still happen IMO depends on what Everton do.

If there's any chance of him getting near the first team they'll want him to go on loan to a higher level than we're at.

Imo we will get someone from them that's at the stage of development behind where hope currently is.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Surely we can do better than Clarkson? He's gash these days.

[heretoday]

The youngsters gone to Thailand with the first team are Luke Garbutt, Chris Long, Hallam Hope, Tyias Browning, Conor McAleny, Matthew Kennedy and John Lundstram.

Is Shane Duffy on the tour? Very useful player and an international. Keeps getting loaned out.

Definitely a future captain type for someone.

[portycabbage]

Anybody we get on loan from Everton will be from that team. No chance we'll get anybody that's currently away with the first team.

Looks like their first team are back this week (as they're playing Porto at Goodison next weekend), maybe Everton will still loan out one or two of those once they get others in?

[The_Horde]

Halliday is a CB is he not?

[Aldo]

;4108114"]Halliday is a CB is he not?

Nope left mid/winger B.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

;4108114']Halliday is a CB is he not?

We getting him?

[Eyrie]

Nope left mid/winger B.
Good news because we need another winger to take the pressure off Harris. We struggled when he was out injured, and he struggled (admittedly in a poor team) when he was eventually available.

[The_Horde]

We getting him?

No idea pal. I just thought he was a CB.

Maybe he done a mcpake and moved positions or he filled in there for middlesboro.

[Rossco1875]

If we got Hallam hope I would be delighted, can't see it happening though.

[SMAXXA]

Only interested in another striker and a defender left side. Dont expect whole sales changes before now and the start of the season there's been allot of clean slates and some very well needed.

[TheFamous1875]

I think we ideally need a CB, a DM, a striker and a winger, but in an unideal world I would gladly suffer a CB and a winger :wink:

[Brooster]

Andy Halliday was on loan at Barry Fergusons Blackpool last season. I actually bumped into him outside the ground, he stopped me to ask where the hospital was. When he realised I was Scottish he chatted for five mins. He came across well and was keen to do well. He supports sevco and had been at Easter Road the previous week for the Ramsdens final. He seemed to have a lot of time for Hibs.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

When does the windows close

[Leitherhibs]

He is yeah, very decent prospect. Been a stand out everywhere hes been on loan, hes playing at english championship level. Would be a surprise if we got him.

[Tyler Durden]

Only interested in another striker and a defender left side. Dont expect whole sales changes before now and the start of the season there's been allot of clean slates and some very well needed.

I would be relatively happy with that if we can find 2 players of quality for those positions.

I think Halliday was used as a left back at Boro after he settled in there. Personally I think having 2 quality full backs will make Hanlon and Forster look muh better - if Nelson can't be moved on then there's no point buying another CB in my opinion. Hopefully this Halliday rumour has some legs

[Ronniekirk]

When does the windows close
End of August so at our recent rate of one signing a week we could still bring in another five players .

[hfc rd]

When does the windows close


Sep 1st is deadline day.

[Iceman1875]

At Easter Road we play...

For some reason I can't fathom, it closes at 23:00 on September 1st.

[J-C]

For some reason I can't fathom, it closes at 23:00 on September 1st.

August 31st is a sunday and the window never closes on a sunday due to paperwork etc, hence the extra day.

It was more the time that I was confused about.

Why 23:00 and not 24:00? No big deal, just seemed a bit strange.

Maybe, maybe not. They will also want to send him to somewhere they will trust the coaches. The fact he would also play in big games will help also.

Please let the Halliday rumours be true, please!

[andrew70]

Only interested in another striker and a defender left side. Dont expect whole sales changes before now and the start of the season there's been allot of clean slates and some very well needed.

Left sided defender? Presumably as back up for Hanlon or does this suggest he's on the look out for a more competent and consistent left back? Stevenson isn't a full back IMO yet notably he's been starting ahead of Booth. Who I thought would have been starting but Lewis hasn't done much wrong in pre-season

FWIW I think we need a goalkeeper, a right back, a centre half, A defensive mid, a winger and a striker. Otherwise I worry that a couple of injuries could de rail any potential challenge for promotion.

[Unseen work]

Why was Halliday randomly mentioned? A wee hint?

Be shocked if we got him, but I was shocked about Allan as thought he could do alot better. And Halliday and Allan used to be flat mates

[andrew70]

They're good mates too according to Twitter :greengrin

Possibly the same agents as well? Stubbs may well have been alerted to the availability of both via the same channels.

I think the rumour started on a football rumours website though so I'd imagine it's unlikely

[Leitherhibs]

Was all agreed prior to today's game a year long loan deal I believe. Will be announced tomorrow. I believe the ginger lad has also been offered something not sure of the details though.

[SMAXXA]

Clarkson was in talks last week with the outcome unknown.

Not so sure this is correct speedy, I know he has interest from a few premiership teams but as of last week we havnt indicated or shown an interest.

Was Browning in Thailand with the first team?

[IanM]

Right back, seems to have good pedigree..

[YehButNoBut]

Was Browning in Thailand with the first team?

Looks like he was, this was their line up for the recent game against Leicester

Robles; Hibbert, Distin, Duffy, Garbutt; McCarthy, Barry; McGeady, Osman, Pienaar; Naismith.
Subs: Stones, Alcaraz, Gibson, McAleny, Long, Browning, Kennedy, Hope, Lundstram, Stanek

[EvertonFC]

Rumour from Facebook

BREAKING RUMOUR:
Talented defender Tyias Browning is expected to join Hibernian on a season long loan deal. The 20 year old is known for his speed and tough tackling. Browning turned out more than any other player for Alan Stubbs’ Under 21s in 2012/13, making 28 appearances over the course of the season. He remained an Under-21 regular in 2013/14 and made the senior bench on several occasions as well as making his professional debut during a short loan spell at Wigan.


At the end of the campaign Browning made his England Under-21 debut at the Toulon Tournament.

Very unlikely.

Martinez raves about him. If he goes on loan this season it will be to a Championship club.

[Fat Penlon]

@snsgroup: Another busy day at the SNS HQ with #Athletics, #MountainBiking, #Boxing and more as well as activity with @celticfc and @HibernianFCClub!

New signing?

[brog]

Was Browning in Thailand with the first team?

Yes, again doesn't mean he's not coming but definitely means he wasn't one of the 3 supposedly here yesterday. I'm surprised we haven't heard more re that, what happened to our FB friend hiding in the bushes at EM?

[California-Hibs]

Everton flew back on Sunday night.

[Nutmegged]

Everton flew back on Sunday night.

They arrived back in Liverpool about 1pm yesterday, I think Shane Duffy sent out a tweet saying just landed or something like that, might not have been him

[Brightside]

Yep that would make sense...i dont think there was three Everton players at EM yesterday.

[Nutmegged]

No chance of it underscore IMO - likely chance of some.coming today/tomorrow but I think yeaterday would have been asking too much.

Patience is a virtue ehh :greengrin

[brog]

Everton flew back on Sunday night.

Agreed, they left Thailand Sunday night therefore any player over there could not have been in Edinburgh yesterday morning. That doesn't mean Everton players weren't in Scotland, just not Hope, Kennedy or Browning as they were on trip.

[Iceman1875]

To be fair you need to applaud how well Hibs keep their signings underwraps until it's officially announced! 😉

[Hibeesmad]

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

A Celtic supporter I have on Twitter seems to think we're getting Dylan McGeouch on loan.

[Aldo]

Hopefully someone with a wee but quality in final 3rd to add to what we already have.

Has one heard any snippets??

[GreenPJ]

Newcastle lad?

[Aldo]

Newcastle lad?

Richardson.... Ginger haired lad.

[PatHead]

Did he come on as sub on Sunday and what is his full name? (want to google him and see if he has his own website to make sure he is Hibs class)

[Aldo]

[Thecat23]

Micheal Richardson mate. 22 yr old midfielder plays with Newcastle. He came on last 10 mins on Sunday.

[Paloschi]

Anyone heard anything else recently?

It's all gone very quiet and judging by Stubbs interview yesterday it's looking like he will only add to the squad if someone exciting becomes available.

Do we assume, therefore that:

1. McFadden has turned us down
2. Other players, may or may not have turned us down
3. We are skint
4. Stubbs is happy with the squad as is

I feel we need 3 more at least.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Hopefully Richardson starts tonight, see what he's all about.

[Paloschi]

Since when were we talking to McFadden? so much so that you assume he turned us down? Not having a go as all i saw was pure speculation regarding him? :confused:
That interview seems like Stubbs is still playing his cards close to his chest. Seems fairly happy with what he has signed so far but seems to be also saying there's nothing else imminent....but as already done that means nothing as we never knew about a couple of them at all until it was a sone deal so.....


It was widely rumoured on here and in other places that Hibs were talking to McFadden.

IIRC an ITK poster said we spoke to him the weekend before last and this was backed up.

[KeithTheHibby]

Not convinced we need another midfielder, we are looking top heavy in that area. Unless of course it's an attacking midfielder called McFadden :wink:

[erin go bragh]

A Celtic supporter I have on Twitter seems to think we're getting Dylan McGeouch on loan.

One of my mates who watches all the Celtic under 21 games has been raving about DM .

Everton get things moving, lukaku signs 5 year deal! Could see a bit of movement our way!

[Thecat23]

Fully expect Hallam Hope to now arrive at ER. Guy from Everton who I spoke to last week was saying Hope should be heading up soon as they tie up another striker. That's it done now so fingers crossed.

[J-C]

[California-Hibs]

Hopefully this comes to pass. The boy must have something about him if he was with the Everton 1st team doing a pre season and them only wanting to let him go once a fully established player was signed.

Here's hoping he signs, could be great for us!

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Hope linked with Oldham on Footy Rumours site (I know, I know before anyone starts).

[brog]

Lukaku finally confirmed, £28m!! 5 year deal though.

[brog]

AS confirming in DR today that he's talking to Martinez re 2 loans. Bad news is he says that may be us done if he gets them. We'll see.

[Del Boy]

From what I've read on here the vast majority think Allan is a very good signing.

[Hibs7]

Was at the training session today and no Richardson ... So take it he is gone !!

[Ozyhibby]

Anyone know what type of player he is? Pacey?

[EvertonFC]

Anyone know what type of player he is? Pacey?

He's big, strong, pacey, hard working, intelligent off the ball and a good finisher.

On the negative side he can be quite greedy, is prone to throwing the toys out the pram when things aren't going well, plays with his head down and can be utterly unaware of his team mates at times and as a result his decision making is poor. All the negatives can be either coached out of him or will hopefully go as he matures. Been threatening to make a breakthrough for a while but just hasn't happened yet.

[bingo70]

Stubbs saying that any Everton youngster coming in will only be for 6 months.

[Greenblood70]

I guess we'll find out soon enough. Be encouraged to see us bring in some of the Everton lads. They'd know Stubbs and what he's about and could slot right in. Hopefully one of them is the promising centre back as I don't share your faith in Nelson I'm afraid.

Any truth in the rumours about a new bid for Cummings, boy in the office mentioned it to me today.

Back on the signings Scottish Summer transfer front....Rotherham United in talks with St Johnstone over Stevie May apparently, according to STV. £1.2m the fee being quoted elsewhere

[Lago]

Think you might be off the mark here Lago, think Hibs are banking on making a promotion position by the next transfere window, if it works out then they will spend on quality for the final push IMHO 
I really hope your right.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

It would be good if we got the following on loan from the toffees: Hallam Hope, Tyias Browning, Matthew Kennedy, Conor Grant and Matthew Pennington.

I'd love us to get Shane Duffy aswell, put that may be pushing it :greengrin

Aye best keep it realistic mate :greengrin

[Lee]

Consider the source before you believe any of that.

Back on topic, do we have any confirmed names for the Everton loan signings or are we still speculating about Hope and a winger?

Still speculation, unless anyone ITK knows otherwise - Matthew Pennigton (Defender), Matthew Kennedy (Winger), Ty Browning (Defender) and Hope are the names I've heard banded about.

A couple of Everton supporters I work with have waxed lyrical about Browning in particular when I spoke to them about it this week - pacy, strong and can play full back as well as CH

Chris Long would be a decent shout too if we didn't get Hope, and Luke Garbutt (can play CH and DM as well as LB) but I reckon Garbutt will end up playing a few games for Everton this season, had a lot of game time so far pre season and looked the part, even with Baines and Oviedo ahead of him

Stubbs has made it clear he will bring in two or three loans Oxley is already here so that Facebook page is just scattering names in hope one or two of them will sign .anyone could do that .
More interesting is the omission of Hope s name ,is that coz The Cat has called it right and that's already a done deal or as he is still appearing off the bench for Everton are folk assuming that one isn't going to happen just now and may be a deadline day transfer unless Everton are keeping him in first team squad.

No chance of Duffy or Tyias Browning. Both will be involved with the first team this season.

Matthew Pennington and Ben McLaughlin are both centre half / right backs who will probably be going on loan, but I can't see any of our other defenders going out.

[silverhibee]

Would rather we developed our own youngsters and gave them some game time than bringing a bunch of young lads from Everton for the season ahead who will just be in the same position as our young lads, no game time and never trained with the first team, lets go with our own young promising players at Hibs.

Im not a huge fan of loan signings, but I think we are still quite short in genuine quality, so if these guys are an improvement on what we have, I suppose it could be positive for the club. Its not a very long term approach though, and I agree that I would rather we were bringing through more of our own young players supplemented with a better class of older player, than filling the squad with even more youngsters.

[Sylar]

Can't be stuffed trawling through all the pages of this to see if it's been mentioned but apparently, Coll Donaldson is rumoured to be a loan target for us.

He was a promising youngster at Livingston who signed for Queens Park Rangers in the January window and has since made just 1 appearance.

Not sure how accurate said rumour is - t'was a friend who's a sport journalist and a Livingston fan who mentioned it to me but he wasn't sure how accurate it was either.

[Stevie Reid]

Colin murdock and danny galbraith should be enough to tell you being at man utd dont make you great at football.

I knew it wouldn't be long before they were brought up - there was obviously something about them at that age as well. Plus Donaldson was invited down for a trial aged nearly 18, whulst Galbraith was 15 and Murdock came through their ranks, so a bit different. I could equally mention the likes of Chris Smalling as an argument in favour.

The boy was scouted by Man Utd and signed for QPR last year, who were building to be an EPL side again - there must be talent there, though there are no guarantees that he will progress, obviously.

Hibs and hearts also looked at him before he singed for livi
Personally I think Bradley Donaldson no relation is a better player same age who we just released and livi snapped him up
Just my opinion off course

I also dont see the benefit to us taking a 19 year old CB on loan. He may well be a talented player (I honestly dont know), but he only played a handful of games for Livi before moving, and it was a nominal fee for a club like QPR - if it doesnt work out, its nothing to them. Apart from Nelson, all of our CBs are quite young (even Hanlon is only 24), we should be looking at giving them game time and developing them.

Steven Anderson supported Celtic and grew up in Dalkeith.

That's not what he said in an interview before the Cup Final. He said he grew up as a Hibs fan, most of his mates supported Hibs & a bus load of Hibs fans were leaving from Dalkeith to support him in the final. He did seem to hint he wasn't necessarily a Hibs fan now but the above is pretty much what he said.

Jeez, you're relentless, I'll give you that! Firstly, why would SM want to drop down a division at this stage in his career? He's already spent several seasons in lower Scottish leagues. He will also be expecting a decent signing on fee & an absolute minimum of £5k a week. The final bill will be way in excess of £800k. Secondly, if you added up all the transfer fees paid by Scottish clubs (excluding the uglies) in the last 2 seasons I very much doubt they would reach £800,000 in total. There's quality & there's stupidity.

[CropleyWasGod]

Being Chair (non-exec at that) does not signify being in charge. He is one of a Board of Directors, each of whom have one vote.

Pardon me for putting up an actual transfer story (instead of the made up rumours indulged in by some) and indicating that I would have liked Hibs to have gone for him seen as a smaller club than us were about to sign him.

Rotherham play in the 5th richest league in the world, where the wages to revenue ratio was 106% last season, and the combined operating losses of the 24 teams was £241M - so you can imagine how high the wages are.

Ignoring the fact that we don't have £800K to spend on a player, and that said player wouldn't come to us in a million years, Rotherham would pay around ten times what we could offer - probably more.

You have chosen a very strange angle to have a go at Hibs on this one.

If Everton have loaned out Lundstram to Blackpool then Martinez must surely have decided which players will not be part of his 1st team plans this season and who he wants to send out on loan?
He might have decided on a few who can go out now on loan ,but he might want to give others game time from the bench in remaining friendlies before finally deciding on others ,or he may want to give one or two a run out in first team when league starts just to see how they perform but may still let them go out on loan on transfer deadline day .If he knows Stubbs is willing to take a couple he may weigh up all loan options as he knows he can go back to Stubbs at any point and do business .

wouldn't be the first time & definifely wouldn't be the last but the two lower tiers of England isn't anywhere near as good as SKYSports News will have you believe, its physically demanding but the technique isn't as good as what I've seen from the likes of Falkirk and Hamilton in recent seasons.

Add to that the prestige of having us, Hearts and Rangers then its a no-brainer for me.

Nae probs B. Cheers

What I will say is, having seen the lad play on a couple of occasions, I think he'd be a poor addition to the squad. He may well turn out alright but I don't feel he's the type of striker we need.

A few? I thought it was just Dumbarton?

A few? I thought it was just Dumbarton? (Who are planning to go full time next year I understand)

Alloa, Dumbarton and Cowdenbeath so a quarter of the league.

30%. There's only 10 in the league.

[cabbageandribs1875]

I don't think Cowdenbeath are part time, you live and learn? Alloa yes, sorry I thought they went back down!



they are :agree:

I'm hearing we are getting Matt Kennedy on a loan to the January window mate - any of your Killie pals hearing the same ? What was he like in your youth sides ?

The same thing is on our forum too.

Matt was always highly rated coming through the youth set up. He looked good when he made his few appearances in the first team

Looking on that Hibs news facebook thing, someone saying there was a guy being put through his paces after all the lads left. Some think it's Matthew Kennedy from Everton.

Interesting...
