Summer Signings

[CapitalGreen]

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.

So we are to replace Fyvie with a player who has had the last 2 seasons to try and displace him in the team and managed a grand total of 5 league starts?

One of those seasons was under Stubbs, not Lennon, who has since given him more opportunities and Stubbs.

[Jpdhfc]

Didn't forget about them as they were part of the squad already from last season.
Lennon likes the young fullback Donaldson too

[Aldo]

I'd replace Fyvie with Mulgrew!!

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?
Don't understand what you mean. Are you confusing what some posters are saying with the unknown (to us) targets that Hibs are going for? We do have a player identification and recruitment team, but I don't expect them to give us all a heads up in their signing targets! Why do you think they are not doing their job? Or am I misunderstanding you?

There seems to be an acceptance/excitement over potentially going after an array of 5 current/ex-Celtic players and that is a worrying prospect. I was merely pointing out why do we have player identification and recruitment people if this is what is rumoured to be happening.

I hope the number of rumoured signings with Celtic connections are just that, a rumour, but I'm worried that most seem to be content to get scraps off the Celtic table rather than look for options elsewhere.

I'm fully aware it is fan based rumours but I'm concerned that many seem to be happy clappers as soon as an ex-Celtic player is mentioned. Stokes and Henderson is understandable in this regard but Commons and Maloney, really?

You are aware that only one of those 5 players listed are Celtic players... and he has already played a season with us, been a hit, and is now a scottish cup legend?

Or do you just want to rule out anyone with any previous link to Celtic and take a punt on someone we've never heard of and probably won't have the same ability?

[madhatter]

He started more games than Scott Martin and if you think Scott Martin will play as many as Fyvie did this season I think we will be in relegation fight. Scott Martin has a bright future but he's played what 10 times total for us in the Championship but is then going to become an integral part of our main squad when we are promoted...

Just doesn't add up.

Stokes was pretty poor most of the season barring the Scottish Cup final, no? Maybe I watched a different Hibs but barring that stupendous game in May he honestly struggled in the Championship...

Bizarre really given the abuse Malonga got...which seems to have been mainly about his lack of work rate which is a laugh when you compare his to Stokes! Pretty similar in that regard.

You are aware I put current/ex-Celtic players also.

Signing a ex-Celtic or current Celtic player isn't taking a "punt"? Why is that, is their some sort of guarantee that comes with such signings? Not meant as a dig at McGeouch but I think we must have missed the guarantee with him? Celtic knew he was injury prone and offloaded. Great player but...

[Ozyhibby]

Scott Martin should have forced his way into the team by now. At 20 years old he has not played nearly enough first team football and if he is not in the team this season then his future will not be at Hibs.

What if Martin shows he is able to step up and make an impact? If he doesn't do this during the coming season then his time at Hibs will be over soon enough. Plenty on here rate him highly, Fyvie didn't impress for much of last season and wasn't a regular starter during the last 4-5 months. Lennon obviously felt he wasn't good enough or that others (Bartley) offered more.

I wouldn't worry too much about relegation and how many games Martin will play if I were you. We still have plenty of time to sign people, ex Celtic players or otherwise.

Stokes is actually an ex Hibs player (I believe we sold him to Celtic) as well as being ex Arsenal, ex Sunderland, and currently a Blackburn Rovers player.

We should get over the ex whoever (in particular Celtic) fixation and concentrate more on the actual quality of the player or players we are trying to get in.

I don't worry about relegation, season hasn't started yet but let's be honest our youngsters rarely look like they are going to make it these days. Fyvie didn't impress this season I agree with that but to replace him with Scott Martin is bizarre as he's 20 but barely played. Comparing to Brown, Thomson, Whittaker et al he's miles behind and honestly looks like someone who will be offloaded like Harris and I'd imagine Stanton and Handling. I don't know what the problem is, mental strength or drive...I just don't know why they fail to force themselves through.

Problem Scott Martin has is he is quite short and slight which in his position means his opponents have a competitive edge, Stevenson is going to be bombarded at LB next season guaranteed for the same reason - his height. Scott Martin is very competitive and fights for the ball but hasn't really shown more than that. Hope he breaks through but Murray and Shaw have more chance in my eyes.

Correct. Sign the best quality we can afford no matter where they came from. That includes the like of Kyle Lafferty.

Stokes' work rate was fantastic and as for McGeouch, ask how we didn't know about his injury issues. Buyer beware springs to mind.

Stokes work rate was not fantastic, sorry. Holt's workrate this season was fantastic considering his age and physique. Stokes was like Malonga, made runs out wide and worked quite hard when attacking to make space but defensively getting back into a defensive shape etc. he was very lazy.

I'd take Malonga back if we could, what's people's thoughts on that?

Looking forward to fixture release on Friday, something to get excited about. Have to keep telling myself its only 21/06 and to remain patient for new signings.

I reckon Hibs will have a cracking stiker signed up to get the fans excited. Hibs back in FIFA 18 also a bonus for anyone that plays!

Stokes work rate was good at Hibs even before the final. Once he got in to his stride (which admittedly took some time) he was at the heart of everything going forward and was strong in the link up play.

As for signing loads of ex Celtic players, the thing is, they are usually pretty good having won leagues and played in the CL so not sure what the problem is.

And as for Mcgeouch. If fit, he's miles ahead of anyone else we have and is the lynch pin that turns defence in to attack really quickly, which is often our probable when he doesn't play.

That's my tuppence worth on the debate.

Re Malonga - I absolutely would take him back, yes. But as seems to be your habit on this thread, you've totally missed my point and gone off on a tangent about Stokes, when I was referring to henderson (the only current Celtic player from that list).

I did notice you said ex or current, hence I asked if your issue is with anyone who has ever player for Celtic. And if that's the case, all the discussion in the world isn't going to change such a strange stance. you were referring to simply "giving Celtic a call" which wouldn't be necessary for all but one of those players.

Finally, no there isn't a guarantee when signing a player that used to or currently plays for Celtic. Again, my point is that there's more of an assurance of the type of player you're getting if you're actually familiar with them, and this shouldn't be discounted just because they once played for a team we hate.

[PatHead]

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.

Marciano is under contract and his club wants silly money. It will take time and we will have plans for alternatives. Leeann goes on holiday soon so don't know what effect that will have on business. Sorry if the panicker in chief goes into overdrive now.

No tangent intended really but I see where you are coming from. Henderson is similar to Stokes in that regard though. Played in a team that won us the cup but struggled in the Championship.

I'd love Henderson to return in a way but always feel like we are not making moves forward by resigning players that have left. Celtic will also charge us a premium unless they are getting McGinn.

Are we expecting to succeed in the top division by signing players that failed in a league with a very weak Rangers team - Henderson and Stokes? That's the point I'm making. 2 players that didn't stand out in the league like Allan did and 3 others who are 30+. Dundee have Allan on loan, if we sign Henderson should we be more excited than Dundee fans?

I don't care where Hibs sign the players but I want them not to be 30+ and/or with injury issues. I also see where you are coming from but Butcher couldn't get the best out of Owain Tudor Jones when he was Hibs manager and Pat Fenlon probably thought he had assurances over what type of player he was getting when he signed him (stand out in the Caley team).

We were assured that McGeouch was the player, signed him up and have a 15 games a season midfielder since (don't get me wrong, good player when fit). Assurances and guarantees mean nothing in football. Get the best players for the way we are going to play, forget player loyalty and manager/player relationships. It's not like we are talking Conte bringing Bonucci to the club here...

Maloney hasn't played much recently and is 30+, Commons has well documented injury issues now and is 30+, Stokes is contracted and is what, 29? plus in my eyes struggled to stand out in Championship, Henderson is 21 and under contract plus mad Celtic fan, Mulgrew is 31 and is contracted. We looking to spend money to get one of these or are we targeting two 34 year olds?

What you're saying here makes more sense to me and I agree with much of what you say as it happens.

I've made no secret of my appreciation for Allan's ability and had it been us that got him instead of Dundee, i would be more excited about that than Henderson etc, from a footballing perspective. I also have said in the past that, while talented, Mcgeough's importance and contribution is, in my
Opinion, very overplayed on here.

I think we actually agree on a fair bit - it was only the Celtic link that i wanted to make a point about.

Oh.. but we're disagreed on stokes. I would absolutely love him back.

Even Stokes to be honest we agree on partially. I have no problem with Stokes coming back but it needs to suit Lennon's plan. If it does I have no problem with it and will support him like any other player for Hibs. Just concerned that default seems to be previous players returning or some with Celtic connection.

It's hardly paranoia, we've lost our top goal scorer for the past 3 seasons and start competitive games in little over 3 weeks. It's not the league or anything but surely you want to get your starting line up used to playing with each other in that period rather than in the first 5-10 league matches?

Currently we've lost 20 goals a season, do you know where that's coming from now?

I'm not worried but for a team that's coming up which already needed strengthened in midfield and upfront before we lost Cummings, it's strange how little business we've done early. 3 players whilst losing what 5 from a threadbare squad and people say we've done good business early. We've got a smaller squad and lost 20 goals a season?!?

We haven't done much business because it's ridiculously early in the transfer window though. Folk on holiday etc. Look around. Have any of the teams in the league made any great signings so far?

Losing Cummings is a sickener for sure! Can't deny that. But I don't doubt for a second we'll sign a few good strikers in this window. I actually have faith in this board which is a bizarre thing for me to have!

We didn't sign Boyce, fair enough, but was he even a target?! We have so much time to sign players and I think we'll announce one or two this upcoming week. It isn't even July yet man.

I'm not worried but for a team that's coming up which already needed strengthened in midfield and upfront before we lost Cummings, it's strange how little business we've done early. 3 players whilst losing what 5 from a threadbare squad and people say we've done good business early. We've got a smaller squad and lost 20 goals a season?!?


NL doesn't want the usual sh*te,

He wants 2 or 3 high quality signings from now on,

So he's waiting, for ST sales to peak, so he has the best chance of getting a higher quality signing in.

[MWHIBBIES]

It looks like we have not learned anything from previous seasons in regard to getting your business done early.We have made 3 permanent signings already, how many have others teams made?

This ''Hibs don't do business early'' thing is a total myth as well, so many examples to debunk it.

[pacorosssco]

Folk are kidding with the paranoia right? It's actually still SO early in the transfer window! And we've already signed Ambrose, Swanson, Murray and if it's to be believed Marciano. I totally agree we need a good few more signings. But it is so early in the transfer window I'm not one the least bit worried!

Yes and compare with dons who have lost and stil losing best players

It's hardly paranoia, we've lost our top goal scorer for the past 3 seasons and start competitive games in little over 3 weeks.

Well Danny Swanson got 15 last season and Simon Murray got quite a few too. So that'll help.

[Col2]

I agree, too early to panic and sounds like all the noises suggest quality and some surprises round the corner. Mid July (3 weeks away) is when I would start to be concerned if we haven't brought in at least a couple and ideally at least one new striker by then.

Hopefully signings round the corner though it's closer to 35 goals we've lost when you factor in Holt & Keatings too. Albeit it would be around 35 in the championship. Thats what needing replaced more than anything else. As everyone realises. Murray & Swanson will help of course though that's still way to short at the moment

Seeing reports on my twitter feed that Halliday, McKay and O'Halloran have been told to find other clubs or train with the kids at Auchenhowie. Obviously we cant sign Halliday as it would ruin our songbook but we need strikers and O'Halloran has shown with St Johnstone that he can score at this level, worth a punt? McKay being seen as surplus to requirements is a bit strange given that he was valued at £6 million when they were trying to persuade Red Bull to buy him.

[Diclonius]

Would sign McKay in a heartbeat. He'll more than likely be away to some no-mark no-history English club who can pay him 5x our wages.

O'Halloran would be a more realistic (and good) signing.

Andy "please Allan, please come and play wi yer best pal at the Gers" Halliday can **** off.

So our front 2 should just get used to playing with each other 5-10 games into the season? Or will our signings be super fit and have telepathic connection with all our current players?

Even if we get good signings, getting them after the league cup games would be a mistake, ideal opportunity to bed them in, they'll be competitive games but as you say, many fans "don't care" about the competition. Ideal preparation rather than the friendlies nonsense.

Definitely decent player, bit moody however when on it is a class player.

[Smartie]

I would, but it would be a signing with high disaster potential.

We's probably have to pay a decent fee, we'd have to pay big wages, he's potentially disruptive and he hasn't kicked a ball for a couple of years. Expectations of him would be very high.

He did well enough at United without being absolutely outstanding.

This is exactly the kind of transfer that has worked out very badly for us in the past.

No idea what he's like now though?

Nadir Ciftci is an excellent "battering ram"-esque forward that we could use to great effect, especially in derbies.

I'd prefer him to Holt.

He only has a year of his contract left and I Think Celtic just want rid of him as he is of no use to them.
As he is a bam it is unlikely that any team will pay a fee for him so we can get him in.
We could minimize our risk by taking him on loan for the season and if it works out offer him a pre contract in January.

Was a strong quality target man at Dundee Utd and is still young
Hasn't done anything since moving to Celtic but we know he can do it at this level.
Bring him in early for a good pre season and more importantly to get his mojo back.
That would leave us to concentrate on signing a poacher.

That lot have quite consistently said that the stand doesn't affect the football budget. They are two different things apparently. Which is absolute garbage.

So in other words, they haven't learnt from previous mistakes and they'll spend money they don't have on the team. For all they were absolutely garbage, a lot of the foreign boys they signed weren't coming in for peanuts. Worth remembering they shelled out a fair amount on Goncalves in January as well.

I think folk are probably understandably nervous because we don't have the main striker in and there's talk of McGinn being off but overall I think it's in a decent place.

Defence is in a very healthy state - particularly if we're resigning Marciano.

We're a centre mid down in FF so that'll need fixed.

Attacking players wise we're down Cummings, Holt, Keatings and Humphrey.
We're up Murray and Swanson which, while not like for like feels like an upgrade on Keatings and Humphrey.

We're looking for 3 for squad parity with last year and, assuming NL and LD have known Cummings was offski, you'd hope they must have clear targets for a first choice goalscorer to replace him.

Presumably Swanson for Shinnie then which puts us one further back (depending on your thoughts on Humphrey).

The point of the post was about improving or finding parity from last year. None of the players who re-signed were mentioned. We didn't need to replace Boyle because he re-signed but numerically we do need to replace Humphries, hopefully with someone who will make more of an impact.

[The Leith Dutch]

Names listed were who left the club hence no mention of Boyle.
Totally agree about Humphrey not doing a great deal though in his defence he was injured badly.

Should have mentioned Shinnie who is a far bigger deal replacement wise than Humphrey as he played a lot of games.

Got a lot of time for Boyle anyway based on last season but if he kicks on this season could prove to be one of the best keeps of the closed season :)
Having him and Murray means we do at least have pace - a much quoted problem with the squad.

[RossScott1991]

Got to admit, im not quite at the panic stage yet regarding signings. However I am more at the concerned stage. This is 40 odd pages of complete twaddle regarding signings, I've yet to see anything solid regarding any of names mentioned. Only thing I've seen of Whittaker is a article in the sun.

I appreciate Hibs will be looking for things to be done quietly, and I do believe we will have targets identified. However the updates of Season Ticket sales are drying up, the only positive news in recent times was the release of the new kit. Hibs should be looking to announce something ASAP to get the ST sales back on the go, can't help but feel we are sleeping a little bit. Genuinely thought this was a year we could smash 13k + Season tickets, we might still. But I feel less positive than I did 2 week ago. Think Hibs have missed a good opportunity in providing weekly updates just to keep feel good factor rolling on. Even the Rocky transfer is dragging on, its probably tied up but it would be nice to read confirmation

Come on Hibs, announce a couple this week!

[Oscar T Grouch]

Names listed were who left the club hence no mention of Boyle.
Totally agree about Humphrey not doing a great deal though in his defence he was injured badly.

Should have mentioned Shinnie who is a far bigger deal replacement wise than Humphrey as he played a lot of games.

Got a lot of time for Boyle anyway based on last season but if he kicks on this season could prove to be one of the best keeps of the closed season :)
Having him and Murray means we do at least have pace - a much quoted problem with the squad.

:agree: I have a feeling squirrel is gonna have a great season, there will be more space for him to run into in the top league (less teams playing 10 behind the ball). His game came on a long way last season and I can only see him improving.

[MWHIBBIES]

A player who won't come back to haunt us, doesn't score or create and as many bad days as good.

77 games for Hibs, are you actually saying he was bad in nearly 40 of those? Total rubbish. Give me 10 examples where he played badly.

He creates plenty, go watch some highlights from the last 3 years and you'll see that.

Where did you get 40 from, if you want to be pedantic then it's 38.5 games which is half.

I m not going to start scrolling through loads of matchday vids just to try and prove a point to you, this my opinion whether you like it or not and I'll not change my mind on Fyvie because you say so.

Fyvie was poor so often that he was first choice for Alan Stubbs and for much of Neil Lennons time here.

As I said in another thread, hopefully we can get a new scapegoat signed up asap.

Not if we're still negotiating with players down south or abroad, we may still be working on pay offs and offers.

Swanson was out of contract so could arrange a new club, we may be after players still at clubs like Rocky who has a contract at Ashdod still. They cannot release him from his contract till June 30th.

[Gerard]

I am concerned that our team has not been able to sign the players that we need to achieve our targets. I am confident that the senior management team and BODs are doing everything possible to sign quality players to our team within our budget. If it takes longer to do so I would rather have quality players compared to rushed signings of players who are no better than we have at present.

I agree with you on that. I also agree with you that there are many things that can get in the way of a transfer being announced. I happened to think that a deal with Marciano has been done but Hibs will not announce until all the appropriate paperwork is done to bring in a non EU national. The same thing happened with Ambrose.
The 30th of June thing is nonsense though. If a deal is all agreed and signed to start on 1st of July then it can and would be announce now.

We're already losing out on signings to divisional rivals.

I really hope we aren't re-adopting the transfer policy that got us relegated the first time around. If you want to finish in the European spots, AHEAD of Aberdeen, AHEAD of Hearts, you compete with them for wages.

I'm aware we may have simply offered the same/more and Stewart chose them because of their current stature, but it's indicative. That's two of our main striker targets down already and all we have right now is two reserves.

The stand is paid for, we've had record ST sales for two years (with little spend last season) AND we've just got £1M in the bank. No excuses.

You also have to take into consideration players and officials being on holiday, just because we're back training it doesn't mean everyone else is. If were after certain players from certain teams we may have to wait till everyone is back ready to get on with the deals, hence why July 1st is important as that's when the English and a lot of foreign leagues window opens.

3 weeks ago everybody was buzzing after securing Efe. Now, everywhere you look people are pissing their pants. The chat of "Feel good factor" or "momentum" leaving is nonsense imo. At no point over the last 3 years have i doubted this board. At no point over the last year have i doubted Neil Lennon.

The likelihood is we're signing Whitty and Marciano. That leaves us needing 2 strikers, a winger and potentially a centre mid.

There's teams aiming to compete in and win the Champions League/bigger leagues than ours that haven't even begun their summer spending yet and we've got drama queens on here greeting on every single thread about "no signings" despite there being 3.

At this time I accept the need to be patient; but my patience has limits and the closer we get to the 5th August my concern will increase if said signings are not made.

Found this. Looking at it we are in the same boat as everyone else having released/sold more than we've recruited. The huns and Motherwell have brought in mair players but looking at what Motherwell brought in it's not great. We have plenty of time to get new recruits in and I'm pretty sure they'll be quality signings. Also interesting he's got a fee of £1.5mil on there for JC.

Not in exactly same boat - we are the promoted team. We also did not run away with the Championship so shows that strengthening is absolutely essential. We also needed 2 emergency loans last year on a threadbare squad that is now even smaller...

Other teams knew where they finished last season and so will be planning recruitment around that. Hence most wont necessarily be making huge changes and need to hurry on deals.

I don't want Lafferty especially but if he was genuinely a target and Hearts got their first...well, I'd be annoyed!

We have a solid core to the team (assuming Rocky'll be back). Our only real issue is strikers which I believe will be sorted soon enough. I get the tenseness of the close season but it's early in the transfer window and we will get quality players in. All this 'missing out' on players is pure speculation as no one bar Hibs recruitment team know out targets.
On lafferty I would guess that his agents done his job, the best way to make the gunts pay more is to make them think we want the player. I believe out strikes will be a level above KL when we do find out who they are. I'm jot in the least bit worried about Hibs atm. I trust the people running the club.

Aberdeen have lost a lot of important players this summer (almost their entire midfield!). It will be interesting to see if they can replace them. Hearts were poor second half of the season and have also moved on/lost a lot of players, and so are probably in a comparable position.

We have lost a key player in Cummings, and there is clearly interest in McGinn, but we have more of less kept our squad together. Fyvie, Shinnie, Keatings and Holt played their part last year, but they are all replaceable, and the others you mentioned barely played. Apart from replacing Cummings, any signings should be about building on what we already have in my opinion, which is what I think weve done with Swanson, Ambrose and Murray, and it looks like weve signed Marciano.

I get that folk have different approaches with some more relaxed about signings and some a bit jittery but anger at the club and this weird sense that as a supporter you're somehow "entitled" to a certain type of signing or this or that player is truly bizarre.

There was someone on one of the other threads here banging on about not renewing his season ticket after Cummings was sold unless there was this that or the other signing.

I know we need players and three aren't enough but if you look at who NL has recruited:
Ambrose: probably gives us the strongest first choice central defence outside Celtic and fantastic depth at that position.
Murray: decent record and the pace that many on here have been crying out for.
Swanson: goals from midfield and probably the best statistical return from a midfielder outside of Celtic in the SPL last season.

We should have from those a team that's extremely difficult to break down through the centre of the part (especially if you add Bartley in front of them). A team with two players with serious pace. A real threat of goals and assists from behind the front two.
