Transfer window (Fyvie In, Heff Out, Done For The Night)

[PeterboroHibee]

Mmmmhhh bit like Scott Allan .... Only saying !!

I dont think either were overhyped, they just moved far too early. Both are good players, but they left their clubs when they were far too young and still developing, and hadnt played a huge number of games (hardly any in Allan's case). It should be a lesson to players but it continues to happen unfortunately.

Fraser Fyvie who has been released today by Wigan, has been approached by Hibs.





Wouldn't get too excited. Page seems very unreliable. Having a go at Craig, Hanlon and Oxley on Saturday shows it is someone with no credibility. When will certain Hibby's learn, we win as a team, we lose as a team!

[Stevie Reid]

I can't cast up too many individual instances other than the 1v1 at tynie and the header in the Celtic cup final, but I always found that his finishing really let him down. I was always of the opinion that if he could clinically finish he would have had as many goals as Griffiths in 2012/13.

My memory was just that he didn't get enough of a chance up front to get that many opportunities to miss (though he no doubt would have missed chances like many other strikers), and certainly not that many to score as many as Griffiths did.

He does seem to be a better player now than he was at Hibs though, and if he continues to improve at the rate he seems to have over the last few years, he could be very effective in the Championship. The key will be whether he actually gets a chance, I reckon.

:agree: Understandably he never got anything like the supply Griffiths got, or made for himself sometimes. At Chesterfield he has been the lead striker. Time will tell I guess but he is certainly making the most of his career opportunities if this one comes off, good luck to him. I think he served us well.

[Stevie Reid]

The worst thing to happen to Kennedy was Farid's injury.

Kennedy did fine for us as long as there was someone in the box capable of winning a header and getting on the end of his crosses.

Stubbs stumbled across the formation without wingers that has worked well and suited our players so he found himself frozen out.

He could be a cracking player with the right players around him.

Very good point re: Farid.

He's been such a loss to us this season, we have coped really well without him, but his threat from crosses and set pieces would certainly have nicked us a few more wins IMO.

He did indeed. Saw an opportunity down South, went for it and has grabbed it with both hands - the move to Cardiff will probably set him up for life.

Good on him - whilst I do think that he'd have made a huge difference for us last season, if he'd been coached by Butcher he wouldn't be where he is now!

Striker Paul Heffernan has joined Dundee, his third Scottish club after spells at Kilmarnock and Hibernian. The 33-year-old Irishman scored five goals in 30 league matches for the Easter Road side since joining them from Kilmarnock in August 2013. Prior to his 2011 move to Rugby Park, Heffernan played for half a dozen clubs in England, including Doncaster, Bristol Rovers and Sheffield Wednesday.

We can't sell our best player do Dundee United regardless of what division we play in

[stokesmessiah]

Allan out for 2m. Fyvie in for free..

:agree: possible

[The_Horde]

150k plus ciftci more like.

That's a joke. No danger would we accept that.

[high bee]

Rumours that Hibs reject a £150,000 bid for Scott Allan from Dundee Utd.

£150k, how about no.

[21.05.2016]

Tell them to bugger off hibs!

On the day that they release the share issure they go and sell the best player at the club which would anger the fans - talk about shooting themselves in the foot!

[Greencore]

150k if they want him they'll need to bump the price up way more.

£2 million would be fair and tempting.

[WillowbraeHibby]

They would have to be at that price....:rolleyes:

[Hiber-nation]

Hilarious! What was the point in them going to the bother?

[Aldo]

Rumours that Hibs reject a £150,000 bid for Scott Allan from Dundee Utd.

Ha that's totally disrespectful if true considering they've just pocketed 250,000 for a player with 6 months left in his contract.

I have a feeling that anything in the region of £750,000 and he's gone with Fyvie and Dylan in on permanent deal!

[Borderhibbie76]

£150,000 - are they having a laugh?

Aye right then...il tell the jokes UTD..good one right enough :)

[PeterboroHibee]

Personally cant see us selling Allan. United wont offer more than a few £100k, we cant sell one of our best players for that when we are still fighting for promotion. He will have plenty of suitors in the summer and if he wants to go then so be it.

[Thecat23]

Dylan and Fyvie to soften the blow, IF this goes ahead!

[Springbank]

£150,000 - are they having a laugh?

They missed off a zero here surely

And no I'm not joking

He's the best since Thomson & Brown and they were worth a combined 6.4m

[21.05.2016]

TBH why would Allan want to sign for Utd at the moment? I know they are playing in a higher league but its not as if he could take part in the cup final and the championship with hibs in the race for promotion against 2 fierce rivals is getting exciting.

[HibernianJK]

Just posted on twitter the only way I would accept hibs letting allan leave is if we see every penny of the 1.6mill celtic paid utd for armstrong, not happening, but will be furious with anything less... Looks like hibs telling them where to shove it tho

[21.05.2016]

£150K? Hahaha piss off Utd!

[andrew70]

Dylan and Fyvie to soften the blow, IF this goes ahead!

The board would be extremely stupid to sell Allan at any price considering how good he has been.

To keep the fans onside we need to build a squad of quality not sell the best players.

I honestly feel it's just a desperate attempt by Dundee United to try and placate their fans after seeing two of their better players leave

[dmc1875]

150k. What an insulting bid that is

[IanM]

Paltry offer but credit to Scott/Hibs as he's been a revelation this season. Fingers crossed he stays and doesn't want to head himself

[Bronson]

£150k is insulting. I would laugh it off and tell them to times in by 10 if they're serious, then we'll maybe start talking.

[JJP]

Embarrassing that Dundee United would even attempt to sign Hibs best player. What a terrible offer for a player with 18 months still to run on his contract.

[bingo70]

Hope there's not a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for a ***** bid.

[WillowbraeHibby]

BREAKING: Dundee United will look to sign Scott Allan before tonights deadline (SkySportsNews)

[Borderhibbie76]

Dylan and Fyvie to soften the blow, IF this goes ahead!

Won't soften the blow for me...i will be raging if we sell when we are fighting for promotion. Come on Hibs show some ambition. ..he can go in summer if needs be

[Thecat23]

Me either, just saying that's what I think will happen if he's sold.

And what if the money allowed Stubbs to bring in two or three better quality players across the team?

[SMAXXA]

Lol is what I'm hearing from east mains hub, try again in july Jackie

[high bee]

Giving the fact we've just launched the share plan, combined with the club trying to consolidate the fact that sporting ambition is our main priority, I would be very surprised to see any offer accepted unless it is too good to turn down - i.e. 7 figures

[RoxburghHibs]

We should offer £100k for Ciftci. ..

[Thecat23]

Agent telling me right now this won't happen! Im praying he's right.

[SteveHFC]

This.

It would be the same old ***** from the board.

[Badge]

Not enough time to do that tonight

[bingo70]

Correct. Unfortunately players can have more power than they should but hopefully it doesn't come to us telling him he's staying put.

[Barney McGrew]

Hope there's not a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for a ***** bid.

Wouldnt have thought so, otherwise United would just bid that amount surely?

The worry for me is that they'll have sounded the player out (unofficially of course :rolleyes:) before making the bid

[Pretty Boy]

If we got an offer for Allan from a club that would really further his career I think it would be only right we gave him the option to look at it.

But Dundee Utd. **** right off. No way are Hibs daft enough to even entertain this.

[Unseen work]

Allan 100% wouldn't go go United

If allan was to leave Fyvie wouldn't be a replacement, complete different type of player

However allan Fyvie and mcgeouch in a midfield together.....

[Andy74]

Hope there's not a clause in his contract that allows him to leave for a ***** bid.

Just what I was thinking.

I agree, higher in the league than us now, but a Mickey mouse club, with an even bigger bawheid as a chairman

[cam75]

What's the rumour on Fyvie?

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Get to **** United, he's OURS!

[B.H.F.C]

Wouldn't even be a good move for him IMO.

Can't allow this to happen. Club would be mad to accept anything with no time to reinvest it.

[Aldo]

I hope he stays Robertson/Fyvie/McGeouch and Allan in middle. That would do me.

[Sir David Gray]

If Hibs have any ambition to be promoted this season, we must keep Scott Allan until at least the end of the season.

We need to reject any bid which may be received tonight unless it's silly money.

[Smartie]

Agent telling me right now this won't happen! Im praying he's right.

Scott's agent?

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

I said in the summer and again two months ago, I was dumbfounded that DU did not attempt to sign Allan back in the summer on a free. They had just lost Gauld and it was inevitable that Armstrong and GMS would be away as well. Utter stupidity from JMc.

However, their stupidity was our gain so they can **** right off now

[bingo70]

Janie borthwick saying we might do a deal yet. We're apparently watching the market and may move for someone before 12.

[SHODAN]

The day we sell our best player to Dundee United will be a sad day indeed. Will never happen though.

[Stevie Reid]

Don't think we'd be daft enough to sell Allan this window, yet I am worried.

[Dublin07]

This is a huge moment for Dempster and could be her defining one as chief exec. Would show a huge change of position as a club if we keep Allan and maybe bring in a last minute deal.

[Greencore]

Would be shocked if SA went back to DU. Can't really see it. But you never know, still 150 k is a bloody joke.

[Unseen work]

I wouldn't worry about allan

Even if hibs accepted u think he would reject

He has said numerous times he wants to try his luck in England again

A english team will make a move in the summer

Not going anywhere tonihht

[Edinburgh Green]

150k! I'll crack the jokes! The only way Hibs would entertain any kind of bid would be if it was written into his contract.

[emerald green]

150k. What an insulting bid that is

:agree: And McNamara was complaining about Celtic's approach for GMS. Hibs must tell them to shove their bid where the sun don't shine.

The fans are being asked to renew season tickets soon and are being encouraged to buy shares. The Board have to be well aware of that.

I wouldnt expect hibs to be saying anything other than that to be honest. If they were to come back and offer 1 million I think hibs would sell him. Even if we got really good money for him it would be bad business as there isnt enough time for us to replace him.

They have serious cash from their sales to Septic, so they can afford to make a serious bid if they want.

But if their opening offer was £150k then they clearly have no intention of doing so.

Would be horrific losing Allan today. Feels like ages since we've had a player a club is desperate for and we really want them to stay, we've hardly been blessed with such talent the last few years. Please stay! :pray:

[Billychaotic182]

No just no

[Aldo]

If Hibs accept Utd's offer then this just proves nothing has changed at Hibs.

Stevie every player has a price tbf. But yeah we need to rebuke any offers until at least the summer.

I don't want him to go and if folk on here are correct he'll still be a Hibs player in the morning (I hope!!)

[HH81]

Worried sick about a footballer leaving? Bit Over the top I think.

[Unseen work]

Suprised no one has took a interest in cummings

[Michael]

How much would DU realistically need to offer? I reckon we'd accept around 350k - which is probably an affordable fee for DU.

[Hermit Crab]

If McLean is worth 300k then Allan is worth 5-600k

[SteveHFC]

[Billy Whizz]

It's only a profit if you can replace him, and we'd struggle at this late hour in this window

It would be great if we could publicly turn down the Allan offer and also sign Dylan for 2-3 years.

That would make a statement.

That would be an absolutely shocking amount to accept. They've just brought in 2 mill. They can give us half of that at the very least

I wouldn't see Lewis Allan for £150k

[Aldo]

It would be great if we could publicly turn down the Allan offer and also sign Dylan for 2-3 years. That would make a statement.

If this is the sort of quality Stubbs and his coaching team want at the club it bodes well for the future.

[Andy74]

If Scott now turns round and wants to hear what they are offering then Hibs may well let him. But end of the day we don't have to sell unless it's silly money like you say. If it was £1m I'd bite your hand off.

[ronaldo7]

They've been sniffing round Allan since last week. Hope we can keep him.

[bingo70]

Normally a player is worth what a club us willing to pay. With Scott Allan though the club need to calculate the cost of not being promoted along with how much it'd piss off an already pissed off fan base.

I reckon 2m now but realistically they could probably get him for 500k in the summer, especially if he says he wants to leave.

[Theinsider]

It would be great if we could publicly turn down the Allan offer and also sign Dylan for 2-3 years.
