Pretty sure that agent Kevin is the biggest slaver going.

Possibly even a parody account of other wannabe agents?

As far as I'm led to believe the Celtic players we are after are Ambrose and Allan.

Cracking scoring record. 31 goals in 6 years.

Cole Stockton the latest twitter rumour

Hearts interested too, surprise surprise.

[Humo]

Mackay-Steven won't sign for us . Unless there has been a big change in Celtics attitude . Lennon has been in touch with Celtic over a player but from what I've been told it's certainly not this man due to January dealings
What was the problem in January?

Would be a terrific double signing. Ambrose is a free agent now though isn't he?

Effe Ambrose has agreed a two year deal at Hibs according to the Daily Mail.

Wow. That's amazing news to get Ef on a 2 year deal. A real statement of intent. The Hibees mean business!

The problem in Jan that I was told about was hibs had refused Celtic first option on John mginn . Lennon doesn't want to sell to Scottish clubs and supposedly this upset Brendan Rodgers to the point where he told hibs gms will cost 700k

Was a stand-out in the team that went down but was pretty quiet this season until a wee flurry of goals late on... Would rather try for Jordan Jones, who is stalling on a deal at Kilmarnock, if we want a wide midfielder but Spittal definitely has promise.

Hes possibly a player that has suffered because of Uniteds current situation, but I think Spittal is fairly average.

Don't expect Cummings to be here next season and Stokes has another year at Blackburn, Mowbray says he wants all players to stay.

Also is Swanson a LM to compete with McGinn, I'd say he's more of an attacking midfielder either coming off the left or through the middle.

He's now out of contract, one was offered and he's not signed it, I'm sure Hibs will give him a time limit to sign and then move on.

:agree:

Mowbray didn't actually say that although I know that's what the headline suggested. He gave a pretty standard non committal response.

I think we'll end up with Stokes but it'll be much further down the transfer window, probably when Blackburn have their replacements in and they see there's probably not much interest from elsewhere for him.

Sounds like Whittaker will be coming back to Scotland so we've as good a chance as any assuming the Huns aren't interested.

I think both are probably very real possibilities, I don't know what's living in dream world about the prospect of signing those two?

[Heisenberg]

:agree:

Both linked to us by the most reliable "Hibs" journalist in Scotland. Think it's pretty nailed on that we'll be interested in both players.

In the midst of all the summer transfer activity I wonder at what point Lennon's contract will come up for discussion? Was it rolling, or just the two straight years? The majority of us seem pleased with players re-committing to us (albeit they were out of contract, unlike him) when is the time to make a move on Lenny signing something a bit more long-term?:deal:

[Hibbyboy]

Hearing down here today that Lennon is looking at Reece Wabara as an alternative to Whittaker if this doesn't go through. He was with Donny about 3 seasons ago and was a real crowd favourite. Would be great as a back-up to Gray but would be a bit underwhelmed if this was instead of Whittaker.

So if we sell him for 1million, us and Ashdod get 500k? (Example)

Just read the translation of the article on WallaSport's website and its a 50% sell on clause.... I don't think that will be an issue.

22 goals from midfield last season isn't bad. He also had 13 by January when Hamilton were in the Premiership before moving down South and had 15 the year before that.

A midfielder who can get us around 15 goals a season is exactly the kind of player we need

Those stats seem impressive but in no game against United did I think he'd improve our midfield. The Hibs midfield is a similar standard outwith Celtic obviously that we'll face every week. He was very poor in the play off matches too.

"Hearts believe it could solve their problem left-back position after trying three different players there in the last two years. Juwon Oshaniwa, Faycal Rherras and Lennard Sowah have all failed to cement themselves in the side, and the latter two were released last month."

They don't just seem impressive, they are absolutely impressive. I didn't see anything that great either but those stats speak for themselves. I'd be more than happy with a midfield player that doesn't look great but is good for around 15 goals in a season, especially when so many of our are lucky to even get one goal in a season.

[macca70]

Stokesy was on my flight out to Cancun on Tuesday so if anything is happening with him, I'd expect it would'nt be til he's back from holiday.

No chance will we be going for Liam Lindsey.

Could be. He'd de-activated his twitter account around the time he and Scott Brown were criticised for filming whilst he was driving. It was then reactivated a few weeks ago but there was no activity. It then disappeared again and has now reappeared with Liam doing his first tweets in a while today.

My guess was that he'd got a telling off from Celtic re the driving/filming thing and was told to stay off social media, maybe until the end of the season. Or it could be as you say, a clue.

I see Harry Forrester has been told he can find a new club by zombie rangers as there appears to be a fair bit of friction.

Have to say i think that he looks like a decent player that can change matches with his quality. Perhaps the opportunity to get it right up the rangers would be a nice wee incentive to him similar to that of another player to make the switch.

If he'd be free of course and it's not like we're lacking in this position.

Last I heard he was weighing up whether he would continue playing or start his career in coaching. He had a persistent back issue which wasn't improving so maybe he is waiting to see if any treatment improves that? He is a goal scoring midfielder which is what we need and I would love to see him back if fit. Scored a few important goals in his short loan spell and no doubt improved our midfield.

Might be a good squad addition at a reasonable wage if we allowed him to assist/progress in a coaching capacity. An inducement for him not to seek top dollar?

Yeah that would work out for both himself and hibs, all though I think it was mentioned he was keen to stay at Celtic in a coaching capacity if it was possible. Either way i wish him the best he was a great influence around the club when he was there by the sounds of it and a model pro. Would much prefer Henderson back right enough but I cant see that happening.

Being linked with Lafferty,Stewart and Moult just now, be happy with any of them. Whittaker has or is signing a two year deal according to hibs tranfer news on twitter too. Sad to say bye to Cummings but he leaves having provided many great memories and providing us the goals to get back to where we belong.
Cant wait to see what the team looks like for the start of the season, not been so excited in ages! Get a decent strike force in place and we will be looking decent. :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

Another Hearts target slips through their fingers. How different their world is when they only pay what they can actually afford.

Not seen that much of him but going by reputation alone he should be a decent signing for St Johnstone.

Interesting that Scougall said his mind was made up when he went up to watch Saints play Hearts. Liked what he saw about Saints but equally not impressed by what he saw in Hearts!

Everyone knows that Cathro is walking on thin ice. Any player considering a move there will have to take into account the high chance they will have a new manager in a couple of months who may not be as keen on them. If a player has a similar offer elsewhere then they are likely to take it.

Likewise.

Very concerned about lack of business. My only hope is club is waiting until after the 30th to announce big names who have run their contract down.

We've now supposedly had a bid for McGinn which makes me very fearful for the coming season. If we lose him then we're talking a massive summer for recruitment and at the moment we seem to be dormant apart from selling.

Murray, Swanson and Ambrose in.
Cummings, Fyvie and potentially McGinn out.

I think our signings are good but can someone honestly tell me that we're not taking a step back at the moment?

I can safely say we aren't taking a step backwards. We've sold a striker who wasn't proven in the top flight and will replace him with someone who is proven I'm convinced of this. McGinn hasn't left so no point worrying about something that hasn't happened.

I'll wait to see what happens. Put it this way, we sold an unproven striker in the top flight but kept Brian Graham who was proven but couldn't get a look in for us. I can see it being a Niall McGinn type figure we get in and to be honest that will not fill me with much enthusiasm...

Even if McGinn doesn't leave, we need at least 4 signings. 2 proven goalscorers and 2 midfielders - 1 creative and 1 left winger ideally. That is minimum as well because we saw how threadbare our squad was last season...

Also "proven" worries me a lot, Heffernan, Rowan Vine et al. It's calibre and players who fit what we want to play. Graham was a strange signing who rarely played...

Sell a 20 goals a season striker to get what? Kris Doolan or someone like that? Hope I'm proven wrong but I want something to support this season and not turning up at ER in trepidation...

We have hardly been "dormant". Signing Ambrose, Murray and Swanson all seem like decent moves. Cummings always looked like leaving, and we thought that McGinn was 50/50, so far he's still here. I am sure the manager is aware that Jason needs replaced but we can't always have someone lined up and ready to fire into the media the exact same time we sell someone.

Think everyone's nerves are starting to jangle a bit as our main source of goals has gone and if we were to lose SJM a lot of the feelgood factor could quickly ebb away. It's gone very very quiet the last few weeks and it's a wee bit concerning tbh...the squad is very bare apart from the back 4 - still no 1st choice keeper either. Others are getting business done early - let's hope for some positive news from the club fairly soon

Everyone is on holiday. We have signed 3 players already. Rangers signing about 10 at once isn't any sort of barometer for what should be happening. Remember the other times teams signed a load of players all at once? that always works out really well.

I'm still fairly relaxed tbh but if we lose SJM it will worry me...all the nonsense rumours on here are not helping matters tbh...we had the manager away yesterday, McGregor and MCGINN today not to mention all the done deals that haven't materialised. Silly season is well and truly in overdrive.

Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

[21sMay]

McGregor won't leave hibs, mcginn on the other hand may leave and to be brutally honest I wouldn't be too dissapointed if he left and we got a good deal . Mcginn is defiantly replaceable and in my opinion has much to improve on before h should be thinking of leaving. Despite all this I'd be very happy to have him stay on for another year. As far as signing players go, we will bring people in and I for one am not worried at all and have total faith in Lennon and demptser

I am sure the manager is aware that Jason needs replaced but we can't always have someone lined up and ready to fire into the media the exact same time we sell someone.

We have signed 3 players, how many have we lost through contract expiry and sales now? 5+? As is almost customary now, we have no 1st choice goalkeeper signed like almost every summer. We have enough defenders probably. We have 4 first choice midfielders if McGinn stays and we have 3 first choice forwards if you put Boyle in that category.

As things stand, we have a streamlined threadbare squad and we've sold 20 goals a season...apart from the 3 you have listed which were pretty much dealt with 2-3 weeks ago now we have seemingly done nothing concrete.

What would everyone's thoughts be on this matter if Boyce gets signed for another club and we could have got him if we were quicker? Happy because we didn't appear to be mass signing and instead spaced it out? We have a great ST sales count and now ~ £1 million from Cummings sale so I like most are concerned that the club may think a "bedding" in season would suffice. In recent times when we targeted top six, we regularly found ourselves in bottom six and 2 seasons before our relegation we were in dogfights.

Everyone is due their holidays but I fear that business should come first if you've lost one of your best players, also surely there is staff members that can take holidays outside of football off-season who can deal with player negotiations etc. - quick phone call to Lennon asking who do you want, quick phone call to Leeann checking that terms are ok financially? Our players are due back next week for training and first game is in 3 weeks time. Hardly enough time to get them in and up-to-speed with the club and how the team play etc. At the end of the day the club need to get it right and I understand that it is a very hard job, I just hope they don't unintentionally delay the work too long.

Christ sake, we've got threads stating our manager might be gone. Fans knew we had threadbare squad last season and it's a lot worse now going into a harder league yet we are lagging behind a number of teams in terms of signings etc. Of course fans are going to be a little nervous.

Apologies, I should have said in terms of signings in tandem with current squad etc. We are the promoted team and with that comes an element of surprise for some of the teams that haven't played us in a while but ultimately it means we are coming from a slightly weaker position - teams are largely re-signing players they already have (extending contract/offering new one) and already have decent squads - look at St Johnstone, stable every year pretty much.

[neil7908]

I must admit to getting slightly nervous about the lack of activity but that's just the way I am, always a pessimist.

I'm unhappy about Jason going but accept that if he wants to leave and the club get a decent offer then it's the best move for both parties.

The McGinn rumour is just that, a rumour so I'm not going to worry about that until something concrete happens.

In terms of recruitment I'm delighted with Ambrose and Swanson and happy to have Murray in the squad.

Plenty time until the start of the new season but I'd be hoping to see some activity in the next 2 weeks and will be concerned if we lose McGinn.

I think it's the uncertainty that gets folk this time of year, myself included. We spend all season talking about football and then there's a big gap in the summer, especially without a world cup or Euros.

Also, it's too easy to stay connected now. Pre internet you'd go on holiday and could ignore everything apart from reading the papers now and again. Now I'm sitting in bar in Prague reading Hibs.net.

Spot on this is 100% where I am just now. The anxiety is not helped by some of the stuff we read on here about this one and that one deffo signing. I think we all now realise nobody knows anything and we are just gonna have to wait and see who comes in...hopefully sooner rather than later

The days of teletext when you get dead excited because the Hibs news has more pages than normal. Then the agonising wait as it slowly goes through each slide, before the inevitable disappointment. Those were the days.

[madhatter]

Claiming it's 'unsuitable'. I think dark humour is perfectly fine on a forum full of adults, personally. Each to their own.

Personally I think "claiming it's unsuitable" is vastly different from "deciding it's unsuitable". Each to their own I guess. Back to the silence on the rumour front now.

[CockneyRebel]

Really? Hyperbolic way of highlighting my negativity even if the hyperbolic nature was suggestive of suicide is no big deal...ok I can swallow that but where do you feel the need to say that I, in some way, suggested I decide what is and isn't allowed on here...point that out to me please.

Keep on the topic, I've went back on with my life and looking at this thread for rumours.

Could you not continue this lover's tiff in private - it's getting very boring besides being completely irrelevant to the OP.

How did they manage that? I thought everyone was away on holiday and no business could be done? Must just be Hibs.

Heard about him a couple of weeks ago. None of the ITKers knew anything though. Looks like a decent pedigree while still being attainable.

We just stated a couple of days ago that we continued to pursue our core targets. Now we don't know who these targets are but I think consensus would be that Rocky, Whitty & Stokes are 3 of them. We know Stokes is on holiday, we also know there's a stand off with him & Blackburn for now. That move won't happen immediately. We know Whitty's back in Edinburgh & though he's a free agent he's probably still being paid by Norwich until 30 June. If he's signed up then it would appear it could be announced but I trust LD. There could be a similar scenario with Rocky. I'm sure our board want to announce a signing or 3 asap to give season ticket sales a final boost so I trust LD & Hibs to do the right thing & at the right time

Listen enough of this 30th June rubbish mate...other teams are announcing signings. I'm fed up reading this as an excuse on here..it's repeated so often it's became a .net fact. It's rubbish....we haven't announced anything because simply there is nothing to announce yet. As for the waiting for the likes of Rocky and Stokes...how long do we wait before we need to start pursuing alternative targets?? That also concerns me. I'm still confident we will get some decent signings in but sooner rather than later would be best for all concerned.

But please stop with this end of June and everyone on hols nonsense coz it's simply not true.

Good news Hibs have signed Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Pluto just to get some signings in to please you.

Not one can kick a ball, but we have got signings in, Happy now?

FFS calm down man you are all over every thread worrying about lack of signings.

What will undoubtedly be best is that Hibs will get the players they want in when it suits both parties to do so..

If they did what you wanted we would now be actively scouring the Pitz over 60's 5 a side league and signing anybody and everybody because the players involved and their clubs and agents didn't say yes before the end of the sentence starting "would you like........"

Relax

[mjhibby]

I must admit to getting slightly nervous about the lack of activity but that's just the way I am, always a pessimist.

I'm unhappy about Jason going but accept that if he wants to leave and the club get a decent offer then it's the best move for both parties.

The McGinn rumour is just that, a rumour so I'm not going to worry about that until something concrete happens.

In terms of recruitment I'm delighted with Ambrose and Swanson and happy to have Murray in the squad.

Plenty time until the start of the new season but I'd be hoping to see some activity in the next 2 weeks and will be concerned if we lose McGinn.

I think it's the uncertainty that gets folk this time of year, myself included. We spend all season talking about football and then there's a big gap in the summer, especially without a world cup or Euros.

Also, it's too easy to stay connected now. Pre internet you'd go on holiday and could ignore everything apart from reading the papers now and again. Now I'm sitting in bar in Prague reading Hibs.net.

Bumped into someone I hadn't seen for years tonight and had a good blether about all things hibs. He is a massive hibby and does have knowledge of what's going on. Told me no need to worry and signings are nearly there. Mostly names in the news and one or two not. Cummings was always going if a certain fee was offered and was Part of him signing last contract. He said things would get going next week once all those involved in transfers are back from hols. Not going to mention players as don't won't to look a numpty if they don't happen.

Just out of interest, all these teams making all these signings. Who would the teams and signings be. And der Hun don't count.

One definitely exciting. Most of the players were are after have been mentioned but it's waiting on things to fall in to place ie pay off from clubs or us paying a percentage of that players contract that he has left. Hopefully by next week the unnecessary scaremongering will be over and we will have got a couple of our signings in. It's hibs mind you so patience is definitely needed.

[mjhibby]

Surprised we've not had the old chestnut of rod not buying players till late in the window to save money. As far as I know rod has no involvement in transfers bar keeping sir Tom up to date on what's happening hence he knows the sell on clause for mcginn is probably nearer ten than 33%.

Nothing is an excuse, only facts. Lennon & Stokes are on holiday, Fact! Marciano & Stokes are under contract, probably until 30 June 2018, Fact! Those Facts don't stop transfers happening but they make things more complex & result in delays. As I said originally I'm sure LD is as keen as us to announce signings asap. Just keep the faith for a little longer.

Good updates. I actually prefer your type of update/rumour, has more truth to it imo. I mean if i had some inside info about hibs that someone gave me in confidence (or a players dad telling everyobe in edinburgh the details of his son's contract ffs) then i would be fairly circumspect about posting details.

Ill patiently await... and then slate you and hand back my ST if we havent signed Ronaldo by the weekend...!!😀

It is a matter of patience. The anxiety isn't helped now we've lost Cummings. Add in Holt, Keatings and Fyvie and that's a fair chunk of the identity of this particular Hibs team over the last few years. All important players if Holt for only a year and our top 3 strikers last year to boot.

Like you say keep the faith that Lennon and Dempster can find the replacements

With so much flying about who do we think the solid rumours still are that could fall into the category of already been mentioned?

What is the point having a Player Recruitment role (Mathie is his name if I remember correctly) if we are just going to give Celtic a call?

Sorry but other teams have had much success without looking for Celtic rejects. I have no problem with signing 1-2 but come on, if the top of our shortlist is a list of 5 Celtic players that's hardly encouraging is it?

Hearts have also signed decent players historically through their recruitment - Djoum, Cowie, Rossi, Berra. Good quality Celtic players can still be dross. The current list includes two 32+ players, one with well documented back problems...fact he played regularly for Celtic 3 years ago means what? Maloney has played how many games in the last 2 years? At this rate we will be called "Celtic OAP FC". Are Celtic our Colt team?

I can see Lennon's thinking in regards to FF. We have a hungry young player who has impressed when called apon, then we have FF who stalled on his contract. Maybe it was a factor in allowing FF to leave knowing we have a ready made replacement on our books.
