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

[Hibeesmad]

And I'm sure he received nothing but support and well wishes from the Hun supporters on his social media accounts

If not I'm sure it would have been reported in the newspapers

There is a bit here of him talking about his reasons to leave Rangers, however he does come across as a big hun and even declares he would like to play for them again one day. This has a transfer request after one good season written all over it

Thought McGinn was heading over to Dallas in the MLS

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/out-of-contract-st-mirren-star-john-6051240

He was but he woke up in the shower this morning and it was all a dream... :greengrin

[Brooster]

Im hearing McCabe has been at EM for the past week. Apologies if already mentioned, Ive not really been keeping up to date with this thread lately.

[Winston Ingram]

The lack of transfer activity is a bit worrying...i thought we would have had everything in place by now.

Indeed :greengrin

[Brightside]

The lack of transfer activity is a bit worrying...i thought we would have had everything in place by now.

Do we not have a month? The main business has been done. I'll be very surprised if Dylan doesn't come back. I'd also expect another utility defender. I'd love McGinn to sign but get the impression he is holding out on the MLS move (but that needs a player to move in the states)

[SlickShoes]

We have done a lot of good so far, if everyone was fit our squad would look great at this point compared to last season. Sadly that is not the case and we find ourselves still scrambling about a bit looking for players.

I doubt we will see anything this week, the Stubbs announcement yesterday will probably be it for this week.

No, we don't have a month. The season starts next Saturday. This waiting until the end of the window isn't good, as could be chasing like last season by that point.

Business was meant to be done early. We still need about 4/5 players to have a squad capable of winning the league. Team is not good enough just now.

We have most of the early signings to come back, freakish to have all of the new outfield players injured like this but they all have to come into the team.

Wouldn't expect 4 or 5, even is Allan goes we will get in another 2 or 3 at most I should think, defender and one/two midfielders unless there are major injury concerns about any of our other players.

4 or 5?? Aye very good. Just as soon as you invest a few million in the club! There will be 1 or 2 max.

[J-C]

4 or 5?? Aye very good. Just as soon as you invest a few million in the club! There will be 1 or 2 max.


TBH 4 players isn't too unrealistic as we need 2 midfielders and at least one player in defence, possibly even 2, Having seen Martin and Lewis Allan last week, I don't really think any of the dev squad players are ready to step in.

The great bulk of our business was done very early. We have 2, max 3 more to get over the line but AS isn't just going to sign anybody, he has specific targets in mind. Personally I find it a refreshing change from previously. AS also says 2 or 3 of our new signings will play in the next couple of games so I don't really see the need for panic!

[Ozyhibby]

Especially if we don't have Scott Allan playing.

Agree with Martin and Allan, they would really benefit from being loaned out to be honest or phased into the team gradually with odd substitute appearance.

For me, I think we need at least a left back, central defender and 1/2 midfielders (dependant on the Allan situation).

We may also have to look at a striker if Farid continues to experience injury problems

[col02]

I'll be amazed if we sign more than one player who will be regarded as a first eleven player. As has been mentioned it's very bad luck to have so many first team starters injured. That said a bit realism with regards to how far our budget can stretch is required imho. Stanton and Harris have to be ready to step up to the plate when required. I would keep Martin as he'll be required but would loan Lewis Allan out until January.

[bill the hibby]

Really good signing if it gets over the line. Heard last week he was close to signing a deal and we had paid 100k in compo...not sure how much truth there is in that but hopefully we can make it happen. Could do with a good signing to add to stubbs signing a new deal

[SteveHFC]

Looks like McGiin has now signed also. How you can want 4 or 5 is beyond me. Where are these players going to go when we have a fit squad?

[Keith_M]

He is, so Hibs have no compensation to pay.

I'm not sure who makes up these daft stories but a simple check of the facts would save them tripping themselves up.

[hibees 7062]

Why would we do that? Isn't he out of contract?

Development fee

[Radium]

Why would we do that? Isn't he out of contract?

Development fee.

"SunSport revealed last Friday that head coach Alan Stubbs had shown the out of contract Scotland Under-21 starlet round their East Mains training base in a hush-hush visit.It's understood the player was impressed with what he had to hear from Stubbs and the rest of the Hibs hierarchy - who want him to play BESIDE want-away playmaker Scott Allan, not replace him.
The Hibees are believed to have thrashed out a compensation package with the Buddies and have beaten off stiff competition to land the 20-year-old."

[Brightside]

Really good signing if it gets over the line. Heard last week he was close to signing a deal and we had paid 100k in compo...not sure how much truth there is in that but hopefully we can make it happen. Could do with a good signing to add to stubbs signing a new deal

heard or read? that was on here last week.

[CropleyWasGod]

Development fee

Okay, just googled that myself.

Cheers :wink:

It does to against our recent policy of not paying fees for players, but perhaps there's money coming in for "someone else". :greengrin

[hibeequinn]

Signed and sealed just waiting on hibs releasing the news

[bill the hibby]

I'm not sure who makes up these daft stories but a simple check of the facts would save them tripping themselves up.

there's a development fee involved :agree:

[bill the hibby]

heard or read? that was on here last week.

I posted it on this thread last week that he was signing and 100k was being paid for the development fee

However I don't know if there's any truth in the fee been paid

[silverhibee]

Im hearing McCabe has been at EM for the past week. Apologies if already mentioned, Ive not really been keeping up to date with this thread lately.

That's not very Hibs like Mr B. :greengrin

[H18S NX]

I am being greedy,i want Dylan back too. :aok:

[Velma Dinkley]

I thought one of the reasons McGinn began legal action regarding his thigh injury was to try to get St Mirren to drop their claim to a development fee.

[Brightside]

I thought one of the reasons McGinn began legal action regarding his thigh injury was to try to get St Mirren to drop their claim to a development fee.

There was a strong indication that this was the reason Hibs might get away with only paying 100k.

[Ronniekirk]

Development fee


Correct and Ian Murray made it clear last Saturday they hadn't yet reached agreement with anyone on this so maybe been working away in the background on this Wouldn't of thought we would of wanted it to go yo Tribunal

[bill the hibby]

There was a strong indication that this was the reason Hibs might get away with only paying 100k.

Even then 100k is a lot of money these days especially for hibs...if the fee has been agreed at that amount, shows the boards ambitions

[SteveHFC]

Anyone else shocked we're paying transfer fees again.

[DJ HIBBY]

Even then 100k is a lot of money these days especially for hibs...if the fee has been agreed at that amount, shows the boards ambitions

As a young player with bags of potential, it could viewed though as a speculate to accumulate scenario.

[Nutmegged]

Think we could maybe get away with paying about £120k for McGinn which would be insanely good business, I'm very surprised he seems to have chosen to come to Easter Road, I think he could have had his pick of clubs like Aberdeen, Dundee Utd or even Hearts, moving to us in the 2nd tier would be some coup IMO and also enhances the train of thought that we really need to get back to the Premiership, top clubs wilking to pay 6 figure fees need to be playing top flight football

[Billychaotic182]

Anyone else shocked we're paying transfer fees again.

Yes after the fail that was Collins

[scoopyboy]

He is, so Hibs have no compensation to pay.

Hmmmmm. Maybe it's you that should be checking the facts. :greengrin

[bill the hibby]

Agreed, very good bit of business from the club if the deal has been made

[scoopyboy]

Correct and Ian Murray made it clear last Saturday they hadn't yet reached agreement with anyone on this so maybe been working away in the background on this Wouldn't of thought we would of wanted it to go yo Tribunal

Must be true :greengrin

Its not. Which is why we are NOT the same as Rangers. Unlike what others are claiming on Twitter. There is a huge difference between buying out a players contract from a team and offering a fee for the players development when he is now out of contract.

Of course there is a difference in circumstance but we have went to get John McGinn knowing we'll have to pay a fee regardless of whether it's a transfer fee or development fee. In that respect, there is little difference.

[spike220]

It looks as though the Hibs Board have had a gut-full and are coming out swinging. At a guess I'd say we have a very small war chest of 300k put on the table by Farmer or the like.

In any case I like what I am hearing!!!

Defensive cover as with Foster out ,any injury to anyone in the back four leaves us having to rely on relatively untried youngsters

We're short of numbers in defence to cover for injuries and suspensions.

I don't see who's going to score goals from midfield, and the collective defensive strength of the midfield looks inadequate.

Out of your list Danny out for most of the season. Think Sam may move on either permanent or more likely season loan and Martin still very young though like the look of him. McCabe may only come in if Scott leaves IMO.

I think you may be correct as I don't think McCabe was in any way an original target for AS. If we do make him an offer though it means he's obviously impressed in training, both on & off the park. I must admit my vague memory of RM was mainly from Scotland U 21 & I wasn't hugely impressed but my objectivity could easily have been influenced by my distaste for all things Sevcoish. I'm still not convinced we'll go for RM but I totally trust AS & his judgement.

You could add wide mid players such as Boyle, Harris & Carmichael to that list & possibly also other development players such as Duthie.

Cant remember much of Rhys McCabe however can recall he had a great game in an OF match at Ibrox. He does fit the profile of Allan and Fyvie though and he will be keen to get back playing regularly. How long he will be keen to hold on at Hibs without signing will be another thing.

Yeah mate I think your right with Stanton although he's impressed the last couple of games, agree with Martin too. Hope we do sign McCabe however as Iv been impressed before when iv seen him and imo would add real strength and depth in our squad.

I thought he was a wee bit disappointing last week in saying that like every other player went missing second half. Always expect him to do better than he does IMO and wouldnt be a huge surprise to see him leave the club.

Whether we could afford him has nothing to do with it, Stokes is not the type of player he wants at ER, too much baggage and can be trouble in the dressing room.

There have been hundreds of young kids who looked a cert. to be the next big thing and faded from the game. Wish the boy well. A 17 year old Joe Baker in only his 3rd first team game played up against the great Danny Blanchflower and scored a hat-trick ! Full England cap at 18 whilst at Hibs and first ever player to make his England debut playing outwith the Football League.

Henderson on loan would be a quality addition though. The seething faces on the Rangers fans if their 'hero' decided Parkhead was his new home would be worth the deal alone.

McGeouch permanent and Henderson on loan isn't too far fetched add in the fact that Stokes has been told he's not wanted at Parkhead then I can see how the rumour originated.

FWIW I'd take 500k for Allan plus the first two names mentioned. Henderson would be a replacement and then some for a year until Stubbs was able to sort a permanent replacement. Not too fussed about Stokes and also can't see that one happening anyway.

Couldn't see us getting as much as 500k if they're offering us players as well...but I would like to see a decent amount of cash for him

[patlowe]

Can anyone in the know confirm whether Celtic are actually interested in Allan? Despite his undoubted quality, it seems a stretch to me to think that they would give us money + players for a guy plying his trade in the Championship. Is he someone they need right now? I can't imagine Deila sees him as someone who is ready to jump into a Premiership-winning team, much as I think he is easily good enough. If they really do want him, then to me it would make more sense to leave him playing games here then sound him out regarding a pre-contract in January.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

This is where the Italian system could work well. Team buys a player with potential, loans back to his original club for 2/3 years, if he develops they take him at the end, if not, the original team keeps him.

Sam is a striker and Harry is a goalscoring midfielder

Byrne is a striker. Good player, works hard and is always involved, but doesn't seem to score too often.

Charsley is a midfielder, full of energy, intelligent and decent striker of the ball. Needs first team action, but I'd be quite hopeful of him making it with us eventually

If we were to get Everton youngsters they would be involved in the first team.

Everton would not loan youth players to us to play in a development league where the standard is far lower than the equivalent down south.

[EvertonFC]

Ta for the post. Have they been mentioned about loan to Hibs specifically or just a loan somewhere for experience?

What I was told is that Stubbs has asked about quite a few of our youth players. Not sure specifically who he's asked about, but I've been told Byrne and Charsely have both been suggested by Everton. Everton have a lot of promising young players who need to go out on loan, but Martinez is reluctant to let those of them that are on the fringes of the first team squad go on loan at a lower level than the Championship. There's some very talented players there though, that would be standouts at your level (no offence) if you manage to get them. I can't remember Everton having as many youth team players who could step in to the first team and not be massively out of their depth. Our entire reserve team squad is pretty much youth team players.


Thanks, are these lads for our under 20's or the 1st team in your opinion

First team, definitely. Harry Charsley could be in our first team squad in a year or two, he's a classy footballer. Just needs to play against men and toughen up a bit. Byrne is a bit older at 20 years old, and I don't really see him featuring for us. Could be a case of putting himself in the shop window, but I would see he is probably bottom of the Championship level at the moment.

[ano hibby]

Thanks for the reply EveryonFC & no offence taken..I think most of us realise what standard we're at!

Well yeh ... but to be honest the few guys we have had on loan from the EPL who would be "a stand out at our level" have hardly been stand outs have they?

I cant help thinking a lot of them think its gonna' be a cakewalk and get a bit of a shock when the reality isn't quite as easy as they were led to believe.
