Hibs transfer thread (Last Day Update - Anier / Feruz (both loan) in, None out)

[KWJ]

Was Reid not mid 90s? Mind him having a belter on the box. Still lost.

http://www.soccerbase.com/players/player.sd?player_id=6645&season_id=127

Back up to Goram, Leighton & Gunn. Left after relegation when he'd probably finally have been first choice, instead we got Ollie!

And besides...he came from Hutchie too.

When did we get our own youth system that could develop players from kids? I'd have considered the Hutchie boys to have been Hibs youths really. When did we sign Hanlon from Hutchie?

Do Hutchie players go to Hearts too or do Hibs have a first option with them?

[Jonnyboy]

I can't remember the last keeper we brought through the ranks who played regularly and was seen as someone who'd made the position his own?

Jim McCarthur? :confused:

Signed him from Cowdenbeath, G

[Pretty Boy]

Late 80's early 90's ? Did better after he left didn't he?

Chris Reid was still around far later than that. He played several game in the season we were relegated including in the 2-2 New Year draw that saved Duff Jimmys job and the 6-2 defeat at Motherwell that cost him it. Alex McLeish signed Bryan Gunn pretty much as soon as he walked in the door. Reid went on to play about 150 games for Hamilton and Stirling Albion before going junior.

Last keeper we produced who played a lot of premier league games, although not for us, was probably Stevie Woods. Currently goalkeeping coach at Celtic.

Edit- Reid signed in 89 and left in 98. Playing 35 games. Always remember him saving a penalty at Ibrox but but the rebound being scored and wearing a hideous yellow strip with black zig zag lines when he deputised for Budgie, fairly often, during his (Budgies) 2nd season with us.

Never knew that John, any idea who was the last keeper we hand reared from a pup? :greengrin I certainly can't think of any in my lifetime? :confused:

Youth initiative was brought in when I was 12 , I'm now 28. Although I played for hibs boys club in the juvenile from when I was 11 when we changed from Celtic boys (Edinburgh) to hibs. Although there were older age groups before then.

[liamh2202]

I remember Chris Reid. Good guy. Him and Gordon hunter attended my grandads 100 birthday bash as Hamilton players as he was an acciea fan. At which point his telegram ended up on the floor to make room for his signed ball on the table :)

[andrew70]

Listening to Stubbs' interview it seems he is looking for a bit of "steel" when adding his next midfielder. I certainly wouldn't say that Holt is that type of player.

Reid and Ollie crossed over.

Reid was brought in after a loss to Motherwell that saw Ollie let one trundle through his legs. He had a decent run in the team but had a bit of a mare in the Motherwell game I mentioned above. Duffy was sacked, Billy McNeil was caretaker and brought Ollie back in for a loss away at Aberdeen before McLeish was appointed and made Gunn his first signing.

Reid was released, Gunn picked up a career ending injury and Ollie was an ever present, and pretty decent, in our 1st division campaign before losing his place to Nick Colgan after 3-2 win against Dundee Utd the following season. He was badly at fault for the 1st goal and gave away a last minute penalty which Billy Dodds blasted over the bar. Colgan came in the following week away at Killie and I don't think Ollie played for us again. Mike Franks was brought in as back up for NC.

Sorry not being a smart erse but I have a ridiculous interest in Hibs goalkeepers over the years.

Hugh Whyte broke through in the early 70s - was in the room next to me at Uni. He was from Hurlford in Ayrshire but Hibs picked him up when he came through to Uni as a medical student.

He played a few games but let in a bad goal v Celtic and was dropped. He was under a lot of pressure from Eddie Turnbull to go full time but wanted to continue his studies. In the end he left to go to the Pars who were happy for him to carry on at uni. He played for them for years and was a big hero there, and then became club doctor. He died a few years ago in his fifties and is much missed at East End. He was a lovely big guy - I remember on the day he played his first game for the first team we decorated the corridor and his room with banners saying "Hugh-bernian".

Didn't know that and am sad to hear of it, S. He had great promise but Eddie was a hard task master

[Unseen work]

[QUOTE=Unseen work;4405304]Would like both McCabe and holt to sign. Would fit in with the squad personally and ability wise.


Not having a pop at you but I'm not sure what McCabe brings to the table that is better than anything Handling, Stanton or Harris can do. It was the same a couple of years back, nearly everyone on here was shouting for us to sign Greg Wylde. He didn't really cut it at either dons or buddies. I think it's often the case of the grass being greener. If we are going for McCabe then I'll support the move 100% but I hope we're bringing in someone who can improve on what we already have.

IMO he's just simply a better player than all 3 of them. You could compare him to wylde, but you could also compare him to Scott Allan and Fraser fyvie

Good knowledge! I thought Ollie was brought in by McLeish, but there you go. Mind Mike Franks, Canadian fella. Came on in a game and then started v Motherwell?

That Dodds penalty rings a bell too. Great game IIRC.

:wink:

Just skimmed article could t even see us mentioned ,it was all about Holt wanting to go to a rangers and Neilson saying the club won't be difficult to deal with re Development Fee . So Rangers can pay it up on the Never Never ,given they are so strapped for cash ? Probably now rules us out ,as just don't see us paying out for anyone given our financial circumstances

[Bostonhibby]

One fee for us and a different amount for the west cost mob?

:wink:

I doubt it
The administration of any deal should be simple in view of their very similar financial history and models along with their big team approach to making payments.

The rangers being after the next dani alves should be enough to persuade Holt of their world status

Man in pub wrong? Wtf? Nae chance. Our local has one guy whose expertise spans legal advice, insurance, finance, race relations, economic policy, medicine, all things medical/scientific, football, you name it, he does it-loudly.

His profession? Retired. Will find out what he makes of the Holt situation just by asking.!

[scoopyboy]

But ITK and the guy down the pub also adamantly claimed Holt was signing too. Surely this was a mistake?.

Nobody claimed Holt was signing, people including me said talks had taken place between Hibs and either Holt or his agent.

You came on and said he was in Portugal when he was in Musselburgh, ie you are that close to him you didn't even know what country he was in.

[andrew70]

But ITK and the guy down the pub also adamantly claimed Holt was signing too. Surely this was a mistake?.

To be fair they only said he had been in talks. Which is true! So there's no point in trying to beat guys who give very solid and mostly correct info.

Of course he is entitled to answer back, I have no gripe with that.

To be honest we don't know if P4M is right or not. I can't remember a post saying Holt was signing only loads saying we were in talks or discussions for him.

P4M came on and stated that it was rubbish as Holt was in Portugal which was incorrect and would not give an indication as to how he got his information other than he played football with him as a youngster. Maybe if P4M had been less antagonistic and clarified his sources he would not have been given such a hard time.

There was no need to come on today and rubbish posters who have given us good information in the past.

Finally hope he has not been banned for his comments but learns from them.

I can remember a fair few posting that it was pretty much a done deal. He was in Portugal at some point, is it possible that the "eye witness" was wrong or that he had not long returned. He probably should of been clearer of the source at the time tbf.

What year was it that we whipped ourselves into a frenzy that he might be coming?

Was that potential transfer not spoken about for a while 2 years ago? We then headed into the season with only Harris and Cairney who could play out wide before both of them got injured. So there was nobody to provide any ammunition for Vine and Collins…

(shudders and remembers how far we've come in a short space of time albeit we're now in the first division)

Coke would be a great signing.

He's got a bit of pace about him. Big strong lad who plays in CM.

Seems to have a bit of a temper though. Been sent off quite a lot.

He gave Stokes about a ten yard headstart in that 6-6 game aswell. Must have been a bit embarassing for him.

Indeed. I trust Stubbs tbh but gonnae wait and see how this unfolds and won't get too excited until anything is announced.

[Callum_62]

"a bid?" actual money?

Just signed a 4 year deal last year - so unlikely

I think Coke was pretty good for Motherwell

JB thanks for that.

Are the De Grafs videos worth a second look in case Inverness swoop for him?

If this has happened Hibs have done very well to keep it totally quiet. Not even a peep of his name n last few weeks.

[Brightside]

from web...translated.

When NAC may leave a number of players. Because of complete or because too expensive. In what category Joey Suk is we do not know , but that 'ie trainer / TD Robert Maas**** quite road may .

After a failed internship in England often than Suk goes maybe make the ditch. Scottish Hibernian has an offer on the robust midfielder -cum supermodel released. Whether its imposing appearance, status or name to blame is that it is not clear yet .

It would be a good solution for both parties. Whether it comes around we do not know , but we already say : Good Luck Suk !

Stubbs saying in the EEN today that we're looking to have a couple of trialists in over the next few weeks in order to bolster the size of the squad and that he's happy with the quality we already have.
Also says he's specifically oooking at a midfielder (which we already know) and an experienced keeper

[JimBHibees]

I'm sure Giles Coke was a very quick wide right midfielder/winger type. Was decent at Motherwell if my memory is correct.

I remember him more as a solid central midfielder who could score the odd goal.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

We need a prolific striker who can get us around 40 to 50 goals a season and a keeper that always keeps a clean sheet. ...if we can manage this then i reckon we would win this league easy

Whilst I accept you cant always have that luxury, we are in the perfect position to be looking at trialists. We have a team, maybe barring the one or two players that Stubbs has identified, that would be ready for the season, and can be very selective in who else we bring in.

Think the key words you have used are Very Selective .I agree we will now be this , and ensure we get right players in that fit the profile and character of what is needed . Had hoped we could of had that midfielder that Stubbs is looking for on board for going abroad and gelling with team if they are to be first team pick ,but equally as we did last year he needs to try out different formations in pre season and look at where Dan and Keatings fit in to different formations and give any youngsters in development squad their oppertunity to force their way into the squad ,and maybe give him food for thought . Trialists can come and go till he is certain they are worth adding to squad ,and keep some budget left over for that last minute deal of another Player that maybe won't be told till near close of a Transfer Window they need to go out on loan to get career back on track ie players of quality of S A and F F.
If as reported in the Herald he hasn't given up hope of re signing Mcgeoch , then he will be keeping something back till that is done or dead in the water .
So still exciting times ahead in build up to pre season , and the payment plan for seasons is still there for a few more days to be taken advantage of :agree:

A tad off topic but Dale Carrick could well be going to Falkirk.

Didn't do much for Hibs either!!! :rolleyes:

[Smartie]

A tad off topic but Dale Carrick could well be going to Falkirk.

Have Falkirk lost many players?

The keeper they signed is decent and Carrick is also pretty good (if he stays fit).

They caused us a few problems last season and those players would certainly improve them.

Jake Sinclair has been released from Southampton, any takers?.......haha

Not had a chance to look properly yet but i noticed Paul Heffernan in training with them this morning........

[Smartie]

They had a core of decent players last year.

Vaulks, Sibbald, Alston, Grant. Even McCracken looked good at that level.

With a few additions they might be a threat. They certainly knew how to cause us problems last year.

I'm not yet overly concerned about the crocks, teenagers and overrated Jambos that Dave King's wealth seems to be attracting.

Queen of the South seem to have the heart ripped out of their squad.

Maybe Falkirk will be a threat?

They will always cause problems on their day but equally they will drop points to other teams. We need to avoid dropiing too many points to the lower end clubs this time around.

Saint Mirren will be a challenge mainly because Ian Murray is a fantastic coach, highly regarded in the game.How much of a threat they'll be will depend who they bring in but with a decent youth set-up and a young, invigorative coach don't bet against them being our nearest challengers.

[Steve20]

I can't see past it being a straight battle between us and Rangers for top spot.

He was a decent wee player, his problem was he couldn't settle up here.

[bill the hibby]

St.mirren I don't see as a threat, their team is pretty gash. QOS a have lost their star players but still a tricky place to go. Falkirk, like last season, won't be consistent enough to put up a challenge. I'm also of the belief it will between us and rangers but it won't be decided on our head to heads. Consistency is key.

Interesting that Stubbs is now talking about trialists. He brought several in last summer for a look and then decided against them, so we know that simply getting 90 minutes means nothing.

tbf i expected the strip to be announced by now... Not sure if it went through some further changes but Fontaine was supposed to model it. The Allan 1 yr thing was talked about a few weeks back (Cat will confirm). I was told a scottish player who was down south would have been the next big signing... Hence Holt etc...but nothing further had happened.

[inglisavhibs]

If there is any truth in Russell that's the sort of signing I like us going for, young guy with a lot of potential who would need to fight for his place against Lewis who performed consistently well in that position last year
Missed this post back in June. Saw a far bit of him last season, good attacking left back with potential. Problem would be compensation at his age. Also good reports regarding Carmichael.

They have lost players but have made signings too. Fowler seems to think he is bringing in players of similar quality so they might not be far away. Fowler is interesting. I wonder if he might be their answer to Alan Stubbs. A good coach for them will prove as important as any player signed or sold.

[GreenCastle]

Last year we had the better of the head to heads against both Hearts and Rangers. It was against the rest we were not consistent enough.

While we definitely need to improve against other teams - it's important we take more points off the top teams.

We won't win the league if we don't have a good record against our main challengers.

[Smartie]

We need to win our home games. Make Easter Road a fortress and we're well on our way. No silly draws at home to lower teams this year.

Making sure we win away to the likes of Falkirk, St Mirren and Raith. Picking up regular 3 points is vital.

We can almost afford to lose the games against The Rangers if we do all this. Hearts weren't great against us or The Rangers last year but still won the league at a canter because they took care of everyone else consistently.

[nellio]

Sensational transfer if he goes there. Along with Bojan and Shaquri they are turing into a very decent outfit!

Normally I would agree, but the players they have brought in makes me think there isn't too much of a war chest.

From what I can gather their season ticket sales could actually go down. Guy from my work and most of his bus from Kirkintilloch have not renewed as animosity is growing by the day that Dave King has spent brussel sprout of his own money.

Fingers crossed

Pleasing. Let's hope so. ;>

[Spike Mandela]

Similar pedigree to Oxley except he hasn't played for England u20's while Oxley has.
They really are shopping in the same market as us. [emoji3]

Doesn't mean they won't be good and better than the overpaid dross from last few seasons.

The players they are signing are not as good as the ones they have lost imo. It's just that they were very badly managed and had allowed fitness level to drop to shameful levels. They were still capable of almost matching us over the season.
This new lot will have to be as well managed as we are to match us as the quality of player is similar.
And we have Scott Allan.

Excellent. Because they think there might be they are holding off ensuring there will be. Karma [emoji23]

What players have they released that you think are better than the ones they have brought in?

Thats a very good question. but im not overwelmed by who they have signed so far. TBF the players they have released ie Black, hard man
Tempelton, was very tricky
Boyd, goal machine
McCulloch utility man
Jon Daly, goal machine
Richard Foster, FAST!!!
Steven Smith, first time at the huns i thought he was really good
Lee Robinson also though he would end up down south as he also had great prospects

all of these players i at some point would have been delighted to have at ER but for some reason failed on a grand scale. maybe there went to the wrong club at wrong time?

may well be shot down for this post but i stand by me thoughts

Being fast doesn't make you a good player.Remember Alan o Brien

yeah but i thought foster was a really good player. but before o'brien came also though he was going to tear up the league.

so thats that

Might be wrong but I'm sure templeton is still with the Sevconians

[Turkish Green]

He still is, and FFS he is 26 years old. 26!!! He was wasted at Sevco.

Football is all about opinions but not one of these players are any good, especially not now.

Tempelton was fast but he offered little apart from that. In games against us it was our defending that was poor rather than him being tricky or creative.

Kris Boyd is a strange one. As you say he can score goals, offers little graft but with a slight movement he can work himself a chance and score. Gives off an impression of a carthorse nowadays though.

Lee McCulloch the epitomy of all thats wrong with British football. Only got so far because he was a big cumbersome guy, zero skill but elbows sharper than one of Phil Taylor's darts. Humpty!

Jon Daly see above minus and whilst he could score goals he chased the Hun money and deserves everything that has come his way. He was a big brute of a centre forward, limited ability but once he left Tannadice he was hardly seen.

Richard Foster. Always been terrible. Aberdeen fans I know were delighted he left. As for fast he couldn't beat Lewis Stevenson for pace so that's saying something.

Stevie Smith I agree when he came through looked half decent. Now I wouldn't have him - free kick at QoTS apart - playing for my local club Dunbar United. Terrible delivery and not to mention how fat he is.

Lee Robinson. Not seen too much of him but what I have seen doesn't fill me with much confidence.

Correct. Not been on here for a bit but fully expected to find that hibs had completed all the signings been talked about last week I.e goal keeper centre half Walker? mid fielder etc but all I see is rangers this rangers that, load of crap franckly.:confused:

Eh ???????

[KWJ]

Hardly. 100 pages and the bottom part of one and the top part of the other is talking about who our biggest rivals have signed and how they aren't any better than we've picked up.

Quit yer slaverin :greengrin

[Ozyhibby]

For a Hibs transfer thread, this is mostly about Rangers.

It's because they have made a transfer and we have not and as they are the biggest obstacle we face in exiting this footballing hell we are in, people are correctly interested. When Hibs get round to a signing, page after page will be spent welcoming him to the club and discussing if he is any good. Until then it's slim pickings I'm afraid.

[Tha Cabbage Kid]

Eh ???????

maybe not hard man but he did have abit of steel about him

[KWJ]

He was and is a wee nyaff!

On this keeper we've got on trial, EEN article says that he is the youngest player to have played in the Swiss top flight at 15.

If that was anyone other than a keeper it'd be very exciting! Still sounds like he could be decent, always a good sign when his previous fans are bummed he's left.

[LancsHibs]

All gone very quiet of late on the signings front:I'm waiticsure there must be lots of work going on behind the scenes but getting a little anxious!
Wes Foderingham the ex Swindon keeper we were linked with earlier in this thread has signed for TheRangers! Shame think he would have been a good signing!!

[keep the faith]

I could link it back to hibs and say that I would take Templeton at ER.

[KeithTheHibby]

Settle petal he was a wee dick who couldn't fight his way out of a wet paper bag.

Being a mouthy dirty wee ***** doesn't make you a hard man nor does it mean you have a bit of steel about you.

[Gordy M]

Got told a story about templeton from someone still involved in scottish football. Apparently templeton finds it difficult to understand even the simplest instruction or tactics and this is why he has never progessed? Maybe thats why his career has stalled?

Find it hard to believe anyone could progress to this level of football if that was/is the case. Not questioning you but the information you say you have been given.

[SunshineOnLeith]

We all remember Scott Allan swatting him in December but more than that, the whole team had a go! Danny Handling proved himself more of a 'midfield hardman' than Ian Black that day.

Correct . A coward of a man and nothing more :yw:

[madhatter]

Been wondering if Stubbs might add 1 experienced midfielder and another goallie then beef the team up with a few talented youngsters. I know we have some talented lads but I think if we could get a few released from EPL sides they might just help some of the other ones on.

[Hibeesmad]

I do expect us to bring in 1 or 2 on loan again but I don't think this will happen until next month as a lot of managers like to take players in for a few weeks of pre season before making a decision on what they want to do with them

[eastmainsmsh]

For me they see Warburtons job with Brentford with pretty limited resources I think it could all go paps up fingers crossed

[Unseen work]

That goalkeeper is a very good signing for rangers. With him and cammy bell though that is 2 big wages.

I thought our number 2 was going to be experienced? Not a 23 year old?

A 23yr old that got some 1st team action when he was 15 sounds pretty experienced for his age. I don't care what age he is as long as he is good.

I agree but won't be surprised if it is 3 or 4 players as it was last season providing the right sort of player for Stubbs becomes available. The difference I see this season is I think is we won't be reliant on these loanees, remembering the slight panic when it was rumoured Oxley could be called back, they will be brought in to compete for places or as backup. I would actually put money on us getting a young left back on loan

Like wise I do not care how old he is, my main priority is if he is good enough. I was only going by what other posters were saying, that we were looking for an older keeper
