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

[Andy74]

Hopefully stubbs can produce a bit of before the window shuts.

A striker - tall, physical, powerhouse type
Left winger - pace and chips in with goals
Left back - can support the attack well but most importantly is solid.

Are all positions we could do with strengthening.

Carmichael is a good player but for me he is a right winger. If it was me I would swap him and Boyle. Carmichael is more likely to swing in an early ball if it's on his right. Boyle regardless of where he plays will use his pace and most likely cut it back for the striker, don't think it would bother him what side he is on. Also Boyle on the left would be better for him cutting in from the left to score with his right.

I think he has said one striker then that's us done.

Have to say I think we have more than enough options in defence and midfield. I am desperatley hoping we get a striker in with experience.
That would make the biggest difference and help Jason C .

Quite disappointed by that to be honest. Left back would have been one of the first areas i'd have strengthened in the summer.

The idea of hanlon trying to play left back again, or even worse Fontaine out there, is not something i'd look forward to.

He has done it before and very well. On loan to st Johnstone a few years back right enough, he was getting great reviews

says 2 on wiki, but anyway, he's played more games at LB for Hibs coming through....never looked that comfortable when he was out there for a game or two in recent seasons, anyway - might take him few games to adjust.

I wonder if anyone who knows Paul knows his views on LB v CH..I always senses he was more comfortable as a CH.

Its strange comments from Stubbs. I like Stevenson but he just hasnt been performing recently. We really need competition for LB, and that definintely doesnt come from the CBs. They may be able to cover, but what we need is quality attacking play from our full backs.

I am guessing they are in for someone and this is part of a negotiating ploy bigging up the options we have in this position. We have already had a player on trial recently.

Agree he looked very good in the opening 25 mins sweeping in front of the CHs

His confidence took a dent after his naive challenge that led to the goal

He is much better when he doesn't have to do the marking

Don't think we would often need to play 2 holding mid but perhaps against Aberdeen or sevconians him and Bartley holding would be a good balance

Would allow the likes of McGeough, Henderson, Fyvie, Boyle or McGinn to have a real go in an attacking sense

He was a midfielder as a lad, not wanted to be, a very good attacking one by all accounts. He was tried out at LB before finally being turned into a CH, good reader of the game but his concentration is a bit suspect.

if we are looking to bring in two strikers separate from Insall then one Striker must be leaving you would think and possibly Stubbs is concerned if Farid can get fully fit and last season and doesn't want to take that risk .
We can't have shifted that many more shares and direct debits that it could fund two additional Strikers you wouldn't think .

Thought had crossed my mind, especially in relation to tactics and system. Encourage an approach that the manager thinks will work in the SPL - should be enough to get us where we need to, this year, and has us better-prepared for the top-flight - looking at it positively, it's clever forward planning.

Petrie is involved at a senior level in the administration of the Scottish game. Does anyone think Hibs won't be well aware and planning on the basis of any reconstruction?

I have to admit I've been thinking along these lines since we signed John McGinn. Would make perfect sense. Especially regarding selling the club to these players.

[West hamBERNIAN]

Surely not, they paid 1M for him when he had age on his side. English teams don't seem to take an interest in players who haven't cut there first time round so I'd be surprised if they got the loan fee for permanent sale. I'd definitely take him at hibs again to be fair but only if the price was right.

I think there is validity in your point however how would league reconstruction work?

To increase to a 16 team league I would imagine relegation from the top league would be scrapped leaving 4 coming up from the championship?

We have released/loaned/sold 8 players and brought in 9,the wages will probably be around the same. So hardly overspending.

I can see one of our current strikers leaving for the main player we are looking at, and Im sure its been stated that the other striker (Insall) will start off in the development squad. I dont really see it being an issue of money if we are just replacing a wage (or why the fans are particularly worried about it?).

Yeah I meant that it was already rumoured he was free plus I wouldn't be surprised if we were to bring in another player who'd be made available on a free. Wouldn't be suprised to see us offer money plus large sell on percentage to pars for faissel though. All just a hunch though.

If it is another 2 strikers I can see it being an out and out goalscorer, not necessarily a big guy, as long as the ball is in the net and quite a big name. Second would be a experienced guy to bully defences such as John daly who isn't spectacular but will do a job for the team and score scrappy goals.

If we were to get 1 striker capable of doing the physical side and the goal scoring side I think the other "forward" will be a Martin Boyle type who is quick and direct.

Unfortunately I can see malonga leaving, a shame as I think he is very underrated and scored alot of goals for us last year considering he was at the Africa cup of nations. Also think we are running out of patience with farid

A disagree that miller Is exactly the type of player we need. He is experienced, works hard and runs the channels well but isn't the type I could see scoring over 20 goals for us.

I would take him plus another but can't see it. He would command a massive wage

[McKenzie]

Miller can gtf. Definitely not the player we need here. He's no better than JC, keatings and malonga. Would be a wasted wage

[Hamish]

So your a bit undecided then?

[Gmack7]

Miller can gtf. Definitely not the player we need here. He's no better than JC, keatings and malonga. Would be a wasted wage
Apart from the GTF bit i agree that he's not really needed

[Smartie]

If Farid is anywhere fitness and anything like likely to play a part this season then I'm not convinced we need anything else. The 4 strikers we have are class imo. I know Stubbs has said he wants another striker but even as it is we're going to have a lot of good players on the bench and in the stand this season.

Maybe a speedy winger (left-sided?) to allow us to play a 4-5-1/ 4-3-3 comfortably.

I agree that's what we need but Stubbs has said it's just s striker we're after so wouldn't go getting your hopes up.

Imo a striker will be leaving before the window closes. We've already got 4, 5 is too many and I think we'll be looking for insall to make an impact after a few months (assuming he signs)

[jacomo]

Sorry to rain on this parade of indignation but Miller is exactly the type of experienced goalscorer we've needed for some time. He's professional, a good team player, great attitude and puts the ball in the net regularly.

The fact that calderwood, fenlon and butcher all chose to ignore Miller's apparent willingness to consider a move to Easter Road tells me a lot about why they failed here.

I think KM's preference to earn more money elsewhere was the most important factor.

But I would take him back - as you say a proper pro who's still scoring goals in Scotland.

[Iceman1875]

Miller is not the answer IMO. I'd like to see a target man that Cummings or Keatings could play off. Would be happy to let Malonga go.


At Easter Road we play...

[Eyrie]

Which begs the question as to why he'd be willing to leave and go somewhere on lower wages.

A much as it pains most of us to admit, money is 99.9% of the deciding factor in where players go.

I can't see Sevco Huns being willing to deal with Hibs, which would rule out us making a bid for Miller.

However if they wanted him off their wage bill then they could come to an agreement with Miller to pay up the balance of his contract early at a discount. That would then leave him free to sign with whoever he wants as happened with McGregor. If so, then negotiations would already be underway, and it's possible that Miller's agent has alerted Hibs to his availability.

But given that he's started all their games so far I don't see this happening.

Do teams still play with these?

I'm not convinced Miller is a realistic option but I'm sure Cummings/Keatings would learn plenty from him and easily 'play off' him. Watched him in our recent game at ER and he was directing the younger players about him, guiding them.

[Wilson]

Do teams still play with these?


I've heard plenty of references to 'the modern target man'. Essentially fulfilling the role of the big man up front but expected to be more mobile then the big lumps of before.

He's made his dosh and I'm sure wages would not be a problem!

[Gerard]

If KM can make our team better by scoring more goals and developing our strikers and AS wants him I would welcome him back to the team who made him a footballing success.

[Kaiserclem]

I have to admit I am getting worried for the future of Farid El Alagui. Rumours flying around that we may possibly sign two strikers. I think there is something strange regarding Farid, he has a small op to 'clear up a little niggle' at the end of last season and hasn't appeared since. Is it worse than anticipated?

I would not not be surprised if we let him out of his contract and sign two strikers, as per the rumours, and get him off the wage bill. I obviously hope Farid features for us fit and healthy for a long time but something has to give in this situation. If we sign two strikers then either he's going or Malonga is away. The next 48 hours are going to be interesting IMO.

I know I'd personally prefer KingDom to stay

[weonlywon6-2]

Don't really want Miller at Hibs, not what we need
as for Farid, the club must be close to cutting the ties if he isn't fit soon

[SquashedFrogg]

Not doubting you but I can honestly say I've never heard the term 'the modern target man' until now.

So essentially a mobile striker who scores goals?

[Michael]

I don't like all this Miller talk. He's well past it and is a bit of a tit. Plus, he seems to be slowly tuning into Jimmy Calderwood.

[SquashedFrogg]

Curious as to why you wouldn't have him back at Hibs?

I'd take him in a heart beat. Scores goals and is an experienced player who would help guide our young team.

[Aldo]

I don't like all this Miller talk. He's well past it and is a bit of a tit. Plus, he seems to be slowly tuning into Jimmy Calderwood.

Would disagree he's past it.

[Wheat Hound]

I trust Stubbs so whoever he signs has my backing

[SouthMoroccoStu]

I trust Stubbs so whoever he signs has my backing

Agreed

Stubbs hasn't made a bad signing yet

[Heisenberg]

Wonder if Stubbs will ruin transfer deadline day and get a signing in tomorrow? Can't beat a good bit of last minute deadline day action, even if it usually ends up with the likes of Roy O'Donovan :greengrin

[SquashedFrogg]

I don't like all this Miller talk. He's well past it and is a bit of a tit. Plus, he seems to be slowly tuning into Jimmy Calderwood.

I'm so glad you backed up your thoughts with constructive logic. And here was me thinking about his scoring record and footballing attributes.

[whiskyhibby]

Likewise the same if Stubbs wants him and thinks he adds something then that's good enough for me. There are some players who could never be accepted, even if Stubbs brought them in, such as Ian Black, but for me KM doesn't come into that category

Hes scored more than any of our strikers this season..

[Golden Bear]

The one thing that you do know about Kenny Miller is that he is a very good professional who would not let the club down. However in my opinion this is all one big wind up so there's no need for anyone to get their knickers in a twist.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

This is getting stupid now. ....we are not interested in Kenny miller

[SquashedFrogg]

It's worse than you think. He's 36 this year.

Regardless if this is simply conjecture, why would that make a difference? Looks as fit as ever and stills knows where the net is. Added to the fact we lack experience in and around the team, I honestly can't see a single reason (if he was available and we could get him) how he would not improve us.

[cam75]

Cant see it happening,did AS and KM play in the same celtic team?
GGTTH

[bingo70]

Correct.

I'm thankful to the cat for passing on what he's heard but there's absolutely no way in this world he's signing.

I can't believe the amount of debate it's generated when it's clearly a non starter.

[HoboHarry]

Anything we would pay Kenny Miller is lost wages with no chance of a return on it. We have signed McGinn and McGeoch on contracts that will allow us to cash in on them if the opportunity was to present itself as it did with SA. We should not go down the path of signing 34 year olds.

[The Leith Dutch]

but isn't the type I could see scoring over 20 goals for us.....He would command a massive wage

The above two points are key.

We have 4 strikers right now anyone of who I think could hit 20 for us in this league (if fit for a full season).
Miller would probably want a higher wage than any of them and I don't think he'd hit 20.

[PatHead]

Don't really want Miller at Hibs, not what we need
as for Farid, the club must be close to cutting the ties if he isn't fit soon

Spoke to Farid after the game yesterday, says he is back in training this week.

[Wilson]

Not doubting you but I can honestly say I've never heard the term 'the modern target man' until now.

So essentially a mobile striker who scores goals?

More athletic than just 'big'. Just as good with the ball in to feet as getting the ball hoofed up to him. Can do the traditional target man thing but also able to drop deep and link the midfield and attack - hence the need to be more mobile.

[The Leith Dutch]

Would be happy to let Malonga go.

I know it's all about opinions but I'm surprised that so many would be happy to see the back of Malonga.

I know he looks lazy to the casual observer but looking at his touch, his positioning and the way he brings other players into the game when he's on their wavelength or they're on his and I reckon he's the epitomy of the kind of player that we move on to become a huge success elsewhere.

I'd stick him behind a front two of Keatings and Cummings and play three at the back.
If the two guys in front of him click with what he does we will score a barrel load of goals.

[Kato]

I know he looks lazy to the casual observer .....

Errm, some of the casuals can spot a player when they see one. :wink:

[The Leith Dutch]

Hes scored more than any of our strikers this season..

Two of our strikers have either not featured (Farid) or are just back (Keatings).

I'd also make the argument that if Hibs as a team dominated the opposition the way sevco have this season that this would not be the case anyhow and both Cummings and Malonga would be on a par with KM already.

Just an opinion mind ;)

Jeezo, they've only been in the door 2 minutes. Lets think about what they can achieve before planning their exit.

I get that strategy but what if a 34/36 year old helped us get promoted? Would that justify a 12 month deal?

It's also scary to think how peoples perceptions about age has evolved. Many players in their mid-thirties are fit enough to play.

[The Leith Dutch]

Errm, some of the casuals can spot a player when they see one. :wink:

Sometimes we really need to move away from our "balance sheet" thinking and get back to being a sporting club.

I don't care if he's 86 years old and has one leg - if he scores the goals that gets us up to the top league again then it can be considered money well spent (and he can collapse as soon as promotion is confirmed).

Paatelainen and Sauzee had no sell on value when they joined - superb signings, probably on big wages and pound for pound some of the best signings we have ever made.

Not that I think there's anything in this rumour anyway but I wouldn't take Kenny Miller over any of our 4 strikers and he'd be an inferior replacement for anyone if they were to leave. I suppose you could maybe make an argument for him being a decent replacement for Farid, not based on ability but because he is so seldom fit and able to play and Miller seems to manage to play most matches.

[jdships]

It's worse than you think. He's 36 this year.

Definately is !!
A move to the Lowland League , perhaps to help his pension pot :greengrin:wink:

[Big L]

For gods sake naw!! He needs a barrow to carry his big fat arse around, and, I'm sick of seeing that stupid grin when ever he has scored against us wi celick or sevco, again naw!! I woud rather go wi Keatings and Cummings.

[Tha Cabbage Kid]

Would disagree he's past it.
I second that.

Not sure there will be anything in the KM story but I will say this. If you ask me who would offer more between KM and malonga between now and the end of the season in terms of supporting and helping our young strikers learn, scoring goals and busting a gut as an impact player. I reckon 36 or not, Millar would be a better bet.

[Vault Boy]

I think it's quite sad to hold some kind of grudge against Kenny because he's enjoyed playing for another team. I don't want us to sign him, purely because he isn't a particularly good player anymore. Some of the anger directed towards him is downright odd.

:agree:

I never get it when players don't want to celebrate scoring against a team they used to represent. Personally I find it disrespectful of the fans and club that pay the player's wages.

He left us early in his career and has been 100% committed to every club he's played for, as he was for us at the time. A few of the strips and badges he has represented against us are pretty unpalatable but personally rather than begrudge him it I respect the fact that he's moved on and given his all to everyone he has played for (as I'm sure he would for us if he were to join us again).

I liked him as a Scotland player. All you can ever ask of someone is that they give you their all and Kenny never gave anything other than his all.

If he joined I'd back him but I simply wouldn't take him over the 4 we already have.

[GRANTON_HIBS]

Kenny Miller would have tucked away 1 or both chances that JC didn't last week and yesterday and a number of other games. I reckon. A bit of an are these days but a good box player.

[Squealing pig]

Maybe have him as a coach but should be nowhere near getting a start for hibs. In stubbs we trust

[Jim44]

On Thursday, while talking about new signings and neither admitting or denying interest in McKay, and with strong rumours about Stevie May, Stubbs said that possibly nothing might happen till Monday. With Tuesday being the deadline, and McKay going to D. Utd., what might be the significance of Monday? Can we be optimistic that something interesting is probably going to happen tomorrow?

I think it's pretty clear. On Thursday Stubbs said nothing would happen until Monday. As you've said the transfer deadline is Tuesday. On Sunday you said that on Thursday Stubbs wanted someone in on Monday, but the transfer deadline isn't until Tuesday, so what do we know about the significance of Monday? Whatever, I'm definitely optimistic that something will happen on one of those days.

His over the top celebrations when he scores against us at ER are pretty unique for any player playing against a club that gave him his chance in the game, especially at their home ground ... turning away with your arm in the air is one thing ... leaping the advertising boards to celebrate with the bigot hoards as if you have scored the winner in the cup final is quite another ..... The thought of the little prick using Hibs as part of his retirement plan gives me the boak .......... never, never, never.

[Neo167]

All gone quiet on Insall possibly signing, anyone got any news on that ? Would love to see stevie May if we could get him but feel we would be priced out of a move for him due to wage demands. The boy at Dunfermline that's been banging in the goals may be worth having a look at. Still very raw but seems to know where the onion bag is.

:gwa::flag:

[cabbageandribs1875]

[Nutmegged]

I wouldn't put too much thought into Insall, I think he has signed but I feel he'll be for the development squad, doubt he'd see first team action anytime soon

[MWHIBBIES]

Don't really want Miller at Hibs, not what we need
as for Farid, the club must be close to cutting the ties if he isn't fit soonHe has had 2 bad injuries in 2 seasons. Not his fault and certainly hope we don't cut ties with him, we've had far more injury prone* players in the past who we have given time to recover.

*Farid isn't actually injury prone tbh, it isn't as if it is horrible little injuries keeping him out for years.

[bingo70]

Reckon we're maybe waiting so we've got something to announce on deadline day. Its a popular day with fans so might be viewed as bad pr not to get anyone.

As with Billy McKay we won't be able to match other teams offers ,and why would he want to come back to a lower division . We must know that we are unlikely to get him ,so if we are to bring in two strikers we must have other Targets .

[keep the faith]

What's your belief that Miller would score more than Malonga based on? Last season?

It's based on Dom's contribution, effort, link up play and attitude for the second part of last season and the season so far. Occasional nice touch aside I think he is a negative presence.

Scored a few last year but I would honestly move him on if we had a chance. Appreciate that's only my view of course.

I'm not sure we will get that chance but I hope we do. The guy has decent ability but does not work for the jersey and appears more laid back than a park bench.

Hibs have made an offer to Sheffield Wednesday for Stevie May on loan but are way down the list. @scotsunsport (https://twitter.com/scotsunsport)


This guys us an absolute failure at anything he puts his name too, was caught out getting his info from twitter, hopeless

It's based on Dom's contribution, effort, link up play and attitude for the second part of last season and the season so far. Occasional nice touch aside I think he is a negative presence.

Scored a few last year but I would honestly move him on if we had a chance. Appreciate that's only my view of course.


Malonga is the Hibernian Marmite you either love him or loathe him.:agree:

[Nutmegged]

Agent Scotland saying we've enquired about Michael Higdon, Sheff Uyd wamt most of his wages paid though.

If their window shuts at 6pm and hes still at Bramall Lane then we could have a chance with that one.

So not on the actual goalscoring bit then? Fair enough.

My view is that quite a few folk have a downer on Malonga because he doesn't run about like a tit and doesn't go barmy when he scores. I'm not sure where the 'negative presence' stuff is coming from either but it's mince.

Question:

The thread title says the Transfer Window ends at Midnight Tuesday.

Why doesn't it end today (what with this being the last day of August)?

* Senior club appearances and goals counted for the domestic league only and correct as of 18:22, 26 May 2015 (UTC).




Not a lot of senior games in 10 years as a pro.


He wasn't a pro until 2009 & these are league appearances only. He actually played 43 times for Falkirk & scored 27 goals. He's had 2 serious, but completely different, injuries, at Brentford & with us. Hopefully he'll be back fully fit soon.

[eastmainsmsh]

Always rated higdon be a good addition if any truth in this

[truehibernian]

He would score for fun at this level and create bags of space for Keatings and Cummings. A proper handful.

His early career was as an amateur, still not a lot of senior games for someone who's played since 2005, his goals ratio is not in question but he's really only had one full proper season and that was at Falkirk. I like Farid and what he could bring but unfortunately his injury has was a bad one and as we've seen, not one that you can recover from quickly, it's put paid to a lot of players careers.

Far more realistic target and exactly type we need if he can reproduce his Motherwell form

Hope to god this isn't true, he's utter mince! He's goals to game ratio is rotten as well. It's a proven striker we need not some random. I'll be very disappointed if we were to sign him.

We're we not in for him last time? Or was it his cousin?

His brother was on trial in January, however Henrik was linked last summer

[Thecat23]

If this is the best we can get I'd be questioning the scouting system. He's not a good striker and all the strikers at ER are miles better than him so what has he got to offer? Thousands of players up and down the country we could look at, come on Hibs don't bring this lad in.

[flash]

More likely as a wide player I would have thought.

[Greenworld]

Im hoping we will be surprised for good reasons who will come in. I do not see us signing someone who is bang average

I don't get it, didn't everyone think Henrick Ojaama would have been a great signing last summer when linked? What has changed?

21 goals in 162 games (1 in 8) is pretty unimpressive is it not?

Got a well mate who loved him first time . But couldn't believe how bad he played on his return .

Isn't he a winger?

[lyonhibs]

If he was actually played as a central striker, that is.

You'll have to excuse the appalling music.

[CapitalGreen]

That's what i said, it's rank!!

He's not an out and out goal scorer though is he, more likely playing behind the strikers, creating. He had the most assists in the SPL in 12/13 with 16, 4 more than the next highest player. Scott Allan got 12 last season in a lower league.

Welcome to hibs Henrik.

Looks like he could do a job wide, seems quick and direct.

[erin go bragh]

He scored 11 in 38 games in his first spell at Well . 3 in 18 in his second stint with them . Works out 1 goal every 4 games . but as I've said , my Well mate said he was murder 2nd time round .

Friend who is a well fan, he knows quite a bit about stuff going on there since the fans have started to be a lot more involved. He knew Dempster was leaving a wee while before it actually got announced

[ekhibee]

IMO Higdon would be an excellent addition if there's any truth to the rumour, but that's a big if.

[lyonhibs]

Is that Higdon 2015 or Higdon 2012? If it's the former, no thanks.

I hope our style of play never reverts to being reliant on thumping it long to some massive dullard of a player like Higdon.

With the right service from wide areas, our current strikers will score for fun.

[greenpaper55]

My money would be on a player who is good at the holding the ball up and is decent in the air, if we tried to get Daly then that gives you a clue.

[Andy74]

I thought you knew who we were signing?

[Vault Boy]

Henrik is far from mince, as others have said, he's just not on out and out striker. Good player, but not what we need IMO.

[lyonhibs]

Henrik is far from mince, as others have said, he's just not on out and out striker. Good player, but not what we need IMO.

Pace, directness, can cross a ball and has European experience. From descriptions of our play thus far this season as "one paced" and "pedestrian" etc, sounds exactly like what we need.

If he's for free and wages are reasonable, it would be a no-brainer IMO.

Nothing wrong with getting behind a defence and crossing for a bag of cement to score or set up a second ball in this division. Worked for us with Mixu last time around.

[mcfly]

Amazing reading the last 6 or so pages how many experts we have in the hibs support.

Complain if we aren't linked with anyone - complain if we are cause he's rubbish or no hibs class.

Get in the real world - hibs are a championship club, we are dealing in bargains so trust the manager and judge him on results not what one who you perceive to be not hibs class.

Personally stevie May or Michael higdon and Id be delighted.

I rate him highly but what I meant was he isn't the striker that we need. If indeed all we are after from here on out is a goal scorer, I don't think Henrik would be the right choice. As a bonus however, I would be very happy to see him signed up.
