January 2017 Transfer Window

[PatHead]

Non Hibs transfers, know it is old news but - Nade to Dumbarton and Ryan Stevenson to Raith. Joe Thomson who had been a regular at Dumbarton has returned to Celtic.

[brog]

Not of the type JC is talking about. Cut-backs, balls for strikers to run into space on. We may well get 14 chances but many of them are clumsy balls bouncing about with defenders or goalies all over them

Im afraid im not convinced. Ive only been at 1 game this season, home vs Pars, & Holt missed 2 absolute sitters. In addition Graham's shank vs Morton will live long in the memory. Holt does ok on hold up play & bringing others into play but if you expect him to be in the 6 yard box finishing off crosses from flying wingers then you need to turn the clock back. Just not going to happen unfortunately.

[Is It On....]

It's virtually impossible to quantify how much TV money Hibs would lose as it depends on the finishing position.

If we were to finish third you get a helluva lot more cash than if you finish tenth.

Apologies if this has been posted elsewhere, but according to an article in the Daily Glasgow, bottom of the Premier League gets £949,500 and top of the Championship £475,000. So with the £500,000 parachute payment probably meant we were no worse of in our first season. Last season, because of the cup runs, again we probably no worse off than our last season in the Premier League. This season we absolutely MUST go up.

Commons will create quality chances, just like the one he gave JC, who's movement on Sat was much improved. CH will provide better cross's and hopefully with his pace will get to the bye line and give us cut backs, lots to look forward to!

Dearie me. :greengrin

[The Leith Dutch]

We need a centre forward that scores goals and is a mix of Graham and Holt ...but happy with anyone with a bit of directness and ability/attitude to get into the end of balls in the box, needs to work a bit as well.Regardless of Cummings goals ..we have no one playing up front that has more than one ability ..Cummings goals, Holt presence, Graham - aerial, Boyle -pace, all are far to inconsistent and score on a ratio of about 1-7,chances at best ..
Happy we are looking g at a left back, now just need to get a right back in to put some pressure on Gray ..cos for me has given us very little this season.
Think Humphrey is enough in the wide area for this window and don't need anything else in midfield if we can keep Commons til end of season, cos I reckon he will get is 10-22;goals if he stays.
So striker and 2 full backs please with Commons staying til end of season, that will do for me please.

I hate to be a neg ferret but if we're lucky enough to get a striker who scores a higher percentage of his chances that player categorically will be sold the very next transfer window because we will receive an offer we simply cannot refuse.

It's a nonsense to claim Hibs don't score goals. We are the leagues top scorers at home and away. It's become a .net fact that Hibs don't score goals.

We don't score enough considering the league we are in if we want to win it convincingly.

Unfortunately, you can't just go about hammering teams left right and centre, its not how football works. Hearts played Cowdenbeath, Alloa, Dumbarton and Livingston (I mean they scored bloody 10 against Cowdenbeath). These are all either part time, or in Livi's case a very poor full time side, and Dumbarton were a far poorer side then than they are now.

We are scoring more than every other side in the league - that tells me we are scoring enough.
We are conceding less than every other side in the league - that tells me our defence is doing it's job.

Why not look further back, Dundee won the league only scoring 1.5 goals per game.

Our issue in recent weeks has been not scoring early enough, which means when we do inevitably concede one, we are right up against it. If we get an early goal, we are far less likely to concede as the opposition get desperate and open up.

I'd rather win games comfortably and have the league sewn up early like The Tarts and the THE Huns did than drop points and take the league to the wire like Dundee (13/14 table finished Dundee 69, Hamilton 67, Falkirk 66). I think we should be aspiring to 2.5 goals rather than be satisfied being above 1.5 per game.

The recent Raith game is a good example of having dropped points because we're not clinical enough in front of goal and don't score as many as we should. We're not converting chances at a high enough rate.

Last season The Rangers, Falkirk and ourselves all conceeded 34 goals. However Rangers scored 88, Falkirk 61 and Hibs 59. The difference was in goal scoring.

You are correct to point out our solid defence but we should do everything possible to add goals to this team. The return from Holt and Graham to date isn't good enough. Lennon to his credit has brought in Humphrey to create more chances and Commons to create and carry a goal threat.

To put the boot on the other foot... there has been very little between ourselves and Utd up til now. If Utd. were able to secure a good striker in the January window and he gets a decent number of goals between now and the end of the season it could make the difference between automatic promotion and a playoff lottery.

With Celtic about to sign Eboue, adding one more to.their bank.of 13+ midfielders, I wonder what Liam Henderson feels about his future at Parkhead.

Brian Graham's goalscoring rate is one goal every 130 minutes, so questioning his return is mind boggling.

We lack brains in the final third. With Humphrey on the wing, Holt won't have to drop so deep, and Cummings has real competition from Boyle and Graham.

Keatings playing behind the strikers brings a lot of energy to the attack too, I'm delighted he's fit.

I said it a month or so ago but I honestly believe Hendo will be back at Hibs come the end of January.

He gave it a go, got a little chance but couldn't break through. Best thing for him is to admit defeat and come back

You can ask him at the game on friday night as think he will be in main stand Would love to see him back but think Commons os the short term priority to help get us back up

Save the homecoming of Hendo for the summer, if commons stays there is no space for him this window.

I'm pleased Keatings is back too. I think he's a clever player.

Graham has 4 league goals (0 assists) by the half way point of the season. A pace of 8 goals on the season isn't exactly setting the heather alight. Graham signed whilst Lennon was in charge but maybe he just doesn't play him enough?

Cummings scores every 104minutes and is also accreditted with 2 assists whilst Boyle is 163minutes per goal and 1 assist (although there's an arguement whether he is always played as a striker) for comparison.*

Maybe my memory is playing tricks but in the last two January transfer windows have our signings not been late in the day?

This time round we got Commons in early and Humphrey in time for first January game.

We seem to be better organised this time round.

Did we not do the Boyle/ Harris swap deal quite early in the window a couple of years ago?

I think we got Gunnarson and Dagnall in quite early last year too.


I do remember being quite impressed by Hibs getting their act together quite quickly in both those January windows, certainly compared to what had gone before. Not sure whether it was the LD factor, the Stubbs factor or the Petrie keeping his neb out factor that was most at play.

Is Henderson not in Dubai with other Celtic players?

A left winger needed and possibly a creative midfielder.

Would love Henderson back though as he just gets Hibs and would be good on set pieces.

[21sMay]

I'd love hendo back but unfortunately I can't see it happening. We are blessed with a great midfield (which is more suited to the spl than championship) and just can't see Lennon taking in another midfielder without players leaving first. Maybe Harris, Stanton, handling, Barkley go to make way ?

How many points did rangers' goal scoring exploits have them clear at this stage last season?

Why does it matter? They had the league won by mid-Feb?

[Marco G]

Why does it matter? They had the league won by mid-Feb?
Mainly because we imploded? (Matches piling up, postponed etc). Happy with 1-0 victories if it gets us over the line.

[hibbysam]

Why does it matter? They had the league won by mid-Feb?

It matters to the argument that they blew everyone away by scoring many more goals than everyone else, however they were in exactly the same position as us this time last year. Easy to say at the end of the season what won them the league, but IMO it wasn't scoring plenty goals that done it, it was us winning 2 points from 21 between Mid-February and Mid-April, when the build up of games clearly took its toll, and they picked up 31 from 33 between the last game in December and Mid-March.

Also Rangers won the league by Mid-February? Really? There was 5 points between Hibs and Rangers going into the last week of February. They won the league when, as stated, we imploded in March.

The majority of games where Rangers won by many goals were early in the season, at this stage, when they were 3 points clear, they had scored 61 goals in 20 games. When they then ran away with the league, they scored 27 goals in 16 games. The difference was that they won many games 1-0/2-0, and only scored more than 2 goals 3 times from here on in.

[Winston Ingram]

We imploded cos we couldn't score goals. The vast majority of wins up to this stage last year were edgy and by a goal. We were constantly edgily defending set pieces into injury time prior to the implosion. Our collapse was coming.

Failure to put teams away also contributed to the fatigue we suffered. Every week the players had to work hard for the full 95 mins. Being a couple of goals to the good in some games would have allowed us to relax a bit more and see games out.

I think that, irrespective of how many goals scored in their victories, Sevco, over the season, built up a facade of invincibility and most teams expected to lose to them and did. On the other hand, our unconvincing performances and results stamped us yet again with a soft touch reputation which encouraged other teams to fancy their chances every time against us. The result is history.

[J-C]

Over 36 games last season we lost 3 more and drew 2 more than Rangers, that's a potential 13 lost to them over the season and we were 11 points behind at the end. Also over the last 6 games Rangers got 6 out of a possible 18 points, it also has to be pointed out that Rangers had 29 more goals than us last season, that lack of goals has to make an impact on our points difference.

Nobody in this league fears us, we have a soft spot and teams sussed out our tippy tappy slow build up no width game plan, we need to driv at teams with pace and urgency from the off, not when we go a goal behind.

That's a daft thing to say - we've lost only 2 out of 19 games played. We've won 11 and have merited more from the majority of our 6 draws.

Of course teams fear us and they change/up their game accordingly.​

They park the bus because the way we have played over 2 seasons, slow and laborious, it's easy to defend against.

Under Fergie Man U were feared by almost all the EPL teams, when he left that fear vanished and they are now just another top 6 club.

We have the best squad but we never really dominate matches, we generally limp over the line, wait till we go behind before we suddenly come to life or occasionally win 3-0 comfortably. Teams play us with the feeling they can always get something from us, looks at Celtic right now teams will play them thinking how can we stop them winning, rather than how can we beat them, that's the difference.

[Peevemor]

It's interesting to note (or maybe not) that in the old 1st division in 98/99, after 19 matches we had W12 D5 L2.

Now your just making stuff up to contribute to your argument. Playing high intensity matches vs St Johnstone, Hearts x2, Inverness x2, Ross County plus league games Weekend-Midweek-Weekend between end of January and mid-March caused fatigue.

We played 13 games in 40 days, including all of those huge cup ties.

Dominate as in scoring 3-4 goals a game, not just about possession, no point in having that if we don't score.

It's interesting to note (or maybe not) that in the old 1st division in 98/99, after 19 matches we had W12 D5 L2.

How did that end up?

http://www.fitbastats.com/hibs/team_results_list.php?page=17

IIRC
* there was no transfer window
* we signed 3 quality players during the season - namely Paatelainen, Latapy and Sauzèe
* we were able to attract this level of talent by paying wages well beyond our competition (and our own limits really)
* with that injection of talent we created more chances, scored more goals and put together an impressive run of results that won us the title

I'm not sure a loan of Commons for a month and Humphrey are enough cavalry this time around?

I'll go out on a limb and say we'll sign Commons for rest of season, Danny Swanson on a pre-contract, Liam Henderson on a 3 year deal.

[Heisenberg]

I'd want us to sign a left sided winger to give us more competition and back up in that area. That aside don't think we need much more.

I'd want us to sign a left sided winger to give us more competition and back up in that area. That aside don't think we need much more.

[Eyrie]

I'd want us to sign a left sided winger to give us more competition and back up in that area. That aside don't think we need much more.

Agreed.

Last night's formation and tactics were excellent, but we have little back up for Humphrey and Boyle unless we still expect Harris to finally come good. Great if it happens, but being realistic that's unlikely.

[neil7908]

I'd like to see Holt and Graham replaced with another physical forward but one that's younger and has more of an eye for goal.

That is very unlikely and both have had their moments but I'm not that surprised our best performance this season has been without them in the team.

Given the chances of that are slim to none I think we need more depth at both left and right back. A left winger wouldn't go amiss either!

[truehibernian]

Would still love to see Gary MacKay-Steven here... no idea if it will happen!

Aaron Doran is more realistic and I think he'd fit perfectly at Hibs.

No mate, just always liked him and he is a natural winger - direct, quick and can chip in with goals.

As someone said though, looks like he's made of meringue !

[neil7908]

Speculation in the papers that we'll struggle to hold onto Commons with clubs in America and the English Championship after him. Apparently we're only paying a tenth of his £20k a week salary so we'd struggle massively to match offers from those leagues.

Any word on the left back we had on trial from Sunderland?

His fiance is an ambassador for SiMBA, a charity to help couples who have had still born babies, she also set up her own charity Lola Commons Fund after their 1st baby was still born. With all that in her life and their other children happy in education in Glasgow, maybe money isn't the main thing driving Commons nowadays. A decent signing on fee and a wage of £3K pw with the chance to maybe do his coaching badges might be just enough to keep him happy, Lennon said in his post game interview that he gets on very well with Commons and he loves coaching him.

I think one more winger is required, ideally on the left. Also if Commons' deal isn't extended and he goes elsewhere then Lennon will probably sign another CAM.

I agree that his family seem settled in Scotland, however Celtic are currently paying him £18,000 pw to play for Hibs. If an English championship club contacted Celtic and offered to pay £10,000 of his weekly wage then they could accept that. Of course it would be up to Commons to agree to go to that club. He will be paid his £20,000 pw regardless of whether he plays for us or a club with far more money. It's Celtic's contribution that will change.

You cannot force a player to go to a club, he must agree to the move, just as you cannot force a player out of the club who's under contract, Lennon will have a huge part to play in this, Commons and he are good friends and work well together, at his stage in his career happiness is a lot in football.

[Ryan69]

Exactly!!

[Jim44]

The % of wages a club might offer Celtic is neither here nor there, unless the player is willing to move. Celtic have no say in the matter. Where has this sudden likelihood of an English Championship coming in for Commons emanated from? I doubt if there had been requests from clubs down south prior to his arrival at ER. If there had been, is it not likely that he would have taken up the opportunity? I reckon that Commons found a loan to us suited his circumstances and I don't see why the same shouldn't apply to an extension. I suppose there is one way a move south could be brokered. If a club for example offered to pay Celtic a much higher % of his wages, Celtic could pass on some of that money to Commons as an inducement to to go south. Celtic would still benefit financially, as would Commons, but again, I think that's an unlikely scenario.

[houstonhibbee]

Eh? You've just contradicted yourself!

[Jim44]

Is that not a wee porky, wherever it came from? Going out on loan is at the instigation of the player or by mutual agreement between the player and his club. Surely that makes Commons the key element in any future loan arrangement.

[Jim44]

Exactly!!

Correct, but Celtic can't say, hey Kris, we've arranged a loan deal with Leeds United, get your bags packed. Commons is the common denominator, if you pardon the pun.

[J-C]

I don't understand why Celtic don't just pay off a % of his wages and let him go now, why keep a player there under contract knowing he'll be gone in the summer and isn't part of the managers plans. It must be costing them more in wages to put him out on loan than to negotiate ending his contract, say 20 weeks at £18k on loan(£360k) or a one off payment of £200k.

I guess KC would have to agree to that. He has been on a good wage and I imagine handled it well but £160k is a lot of money to right off I suppose.

Because the player will want the full wage he is entitled to. I'm sure Celtic would be delighted to give him less to leave. We are in the same position with the likes of Stanton and Harris.

Commons did a great job for Celtic and should be rewarded by them and not settled short. They should pay off what he is due.
