Transfer rumours

[Heisenberg]

Extremely unusual signing, paying money for someone recovering from a cruciate injury!

True, they must have a lot of faith in his recovery and also his ability.

[Paisley Hibby]

I must say I'm a bit disappointed in the lack of business from Hibs'. I know we've got a couple of loans and the Stokes and Swanson situations are causing hurdles but ...... we could do with a cherry being pulled out the pie to give us a bit of a lift.
Doesn't help when you see your rivals strengthening their squads.
The reason why we've not been able to do that is in your post?

[Allant1981]

That's true but maybe RB aside, this should've been addressed last summer no? We all knew we still needed a goalscorer before the season started.

and we signed stokes, no one could have predicted that halfway through the season this would have happened

i wasnt aware something happened at celtic, just thought the manager didnt fancy him.

[hibee62]

Aye but you don't get invited unless you've got ambition

I think Kenny Millar, the one formerly of the sun, mentioned in the summer that aberdeen were being bankrolled by some American investor. Think this was when they signed Greg Stewart ahead of us and hearts. He also said he understood that our wages were on a par with Hearts but about £1000 a week below aberdeen.

BAD boy Anthony Stokes was booted out of the Celtic squad for their vital SPL clash with Motherwell — after a hotel bust-up with Neil Lennon.

2015...
RONNY DEILA accused Anthony Stokes (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/all-about/anthony-stokes) of disrespecting his Celtic team-mates by taking to social media to complain about being left out of the squad for Celtic's 3-1 Ladbrokes Premiership win over Inverness at a freezing Tulloch Caledonian Stadium.

Having said that I thought his last spell at Hibs was good, and as we all know he played a remarkable Cup Final.
Looks like Stubbs is due a medal for getting that season out of him with no drama (that we were told about).

I don't know what the difference in squad sizes is but as Hertz are supposedly chucking big money at a few players these averages would suggest that they have some "very" low paid first team players.

They couldn't be as accurate as those figures are. They're not even rounded to the nearest £10.

The authors have simply looked at the clubs' accounts, and applied whatever arbitrary methods they think fit.

Clubs will regularly phone agents and say what players do you have in a certain wage bracket. Someone like John Colqhuon will know roughly what each club will pay for players based on their dealings with them.

Roughly, perhaps. But not to the £ the way that survey indicates.

The amount of effort that would be required to contact every agent in every country, all of whom (don't forget) have their own agendas, would be far too time-consuming and expensive for Sporting Intelligence. It's far easier and cheaper to maintain a database of the clubs' accounts, update that every time a new set is published, and then apply whatever criteria they think fit.

The "exactitude" of the figures quoted gives them an apparent credibility which is undeserved IMO.

At least you can get a general idea of relative budgets.

I totally get it's not easy but other teams seem to be doing it. Don't think we'll see Swanson go now, hope he gets his chance. Stokes a definite away, be interesting to see if we'd have anyone lined up should stokes go

[Smartie]

The "other teams" factor shouldn't really be a factor but unfortunately it is.

We need to accept that we're coming out of a damaging 3 year stint outside the top league, and that will be harming us.

Aberdeen should be in a much stronger position than us.

Hearts and Rangers are hard to read as they don't seem to need to live by the same financial realities as the rest of us.

Yes, we're getting good, big crowds, but we need to live within our means.

As has been mentioned above, I reckon Lennon is doing his best within (correctly) fairly rigorous constraints.

If he shifts a couple of our bigger earners, I'm sure we'll see some interesting additions.

If we keep these crowds up, hold a position high up in the Premier League and get to Hampden a few times over the next few years then we'll see ourselves doing a bit more in the transfer market.

(BTW - I have no idea how Stubbs managed to get hold of the players he did in the Championship. Very impressive indeed).

Even poor Hibs team (i.e fenlon aka griffiths) - maybe calderwood and butcher teams exception. But i think this season especially it us one of the weakest strike force we have had at club.

We are desperate for a new striker and I’m not convinced we will get one of the required standard before Wednesday.

We need one that gets the fans going and walks into our starting line up.

Now I know this would be extremely hard to get at this time of year, but if we lose stokes and potentially Mcginn that’s a hell of a lot of money to reinvest with.

You mention Fenlon team as weak but in Fenlon`s only full season we finished 7th ( should have made top 6 but had terrible decisons against Hearts - Griffiths " goal " and at Tannadice just before split ) and made cup final after beating 3 SPL teams and Ayr on way .

I honestly don't get the desire to bring Allan back. Have we not learnt anything with the Stokes saga?

Allan doesn't score goals (something we're crying out for) and treated the club terribly when he left m

I could probably forgive that but this is a guy who can't get a start at a team who were second bottom of the league until today.

He's failed everywhere he's gone except for his brief time with us.

If he'd never played for Hibs there wouldn't be a single poster mentioning him.

Finally, can you honestly see him fitting in a Neil Lennon team?

I remember one of the pundits saying “It’s not his first touch that’s the problem; it’s just that his second touch is always a slide tackle.” But he has made the very best of his abilities and has scored many important goals during his career.

[greenlex]

One thing nobody ever accused Miller of is being clinical. [emoji23] Hard worker yes, fast yes and definitely someone who made the most of his talents but never clinical. Didn’t he have the nickname Kenny sitters for a while?

This Kamberi guy is the only one just now. Although it seems we need to get rid before we sign him.

I expect there will be quite a bit of movement over the next couple of days.

If it was me I would get rid of Stokes, Big Dave and Fontaine.

This. Almost 100% that if we received a decent fee for mcginn we would be lucky to see any of it invested in the squad. Seen it play out that way so many times before.

It was earlier than that. Remember he had two guild edge chances at the San Siro back in 2005ish.

He did IIRC destroy Norway at their place around the same campaign.

I don’t think there was a significant increase in quality signed compared to previous seasons when we hadnt sold anyone.

I don’t know what contracts these guys are on though so that’s just my perception of our transfer activity.

Well enough to get us challenging at the top of the league and good enough to go toe to toe with Celtic.

It's going to take time to build us up but we've defo not made a bad start.

[Col2]

We are in a tricky place.

Stokes needs to be offloaded but is highest paid player by a mile so if he doesn’t go we would either keep him or pay him off. Either way doesn’t free up wages. If he does go it might be last minute so not enought time to replace.

Big Dave needs to go as well but sounds like nothing imminent so same scenario to Stokes but at lower cost

The Swanson move I assume is partly to give us some space if above doesn’t happen but given we need creativity real risk that backfired for us.

We could get McGinn bids in and one acceptable but very very little time to replace and use funds.

Perfect answer is-

McGinn stays
Swanson goes on loan
Stokes goes to another club
Big Dave goes to another club

We therefore free c £8k wages and bring in Swiss trialist and say Templeton and Ally Crawford. Arguably stronger than before.

We signed 6 international players in the summer & another 2, on loan, in this window. Obviously they haven't all worked out but I don't think Hibs can be accused of a) not investing in the squad or b) not attempting to improve the quality.

I'd definitely be keeping Danny Swanson - in fact, I'd be dropping Boyle to the bench for a few games and starting with Danny. Boyle has been off the pace for the last few games, unsure if it's a niggle or just that teams are doubling up on him and marking him far more closely. Either way, for me he has been very poor.

Must admit I watched the Cardiff game yesterday and McGinn would walk straight into that team, the one thing they lacked a was a bit of bite in the middle, yes it was Man City but they had a soft middle, I also thought Paterson did quite well considering the opposition.

I often berate the written sports media in Scotland about the drivel within their pages, but haven't bought, or read a paper since 21/5/16. Problem is that everyone still gets to see the articles online, usually after someone has posted to highlight some nonsense. While they still attract online clicks, they will still be relevant to a degree, but they certainly don't command the same power in the game they once had.

A striker who can get us ten goals between now and the end of the season is what we need. I suspect mclaren will get a few once up to speed. We might get lucky in the next couple of days, you never know.

[Lago]

I disagree, derisory like all offers up here.
Thats the market hibs operate in unfortunately.

[Onion]

If SJM has a decent 6 months at Hibs, he'll still be worth 1.5m in the summer. More interest / competition. Even the Celtic might be able to rustle that up ?

[Blaster]

Swanson not going anywhere according to Tommy Wright

Said he’s staying with us to fight for his place. It’s on the bbc website

I thought it would make sense whose place Kamara would take...it was a hypothetical should McGinn be leaving. I suggested Kamara as his replacement...

[Hulk1875]

Tim Cahill signs for Millwall there was rumours about him being offered to hibs and hearts im sure

[MWHIBBIES]

Over inflation on players down south bid for somebody up here and we get every penny he is worth and FA more.

2m is derisory in this climate for a full international.
Slivka is a full international, so is big Dave. Being a full international means absolutely nothing, especially for Scotland.

[Sammy7nil]

Rumour we are signing a Swedish guy on laon from Brighton :wink:

[Stuart93]

Musonda signed for Celtic on an 18 month loan deal. Could be some signing for them. Hope he starts tomorrow!

[bingo70]

Motherwell turn down £200k offer for their keeper from Celtic.

Probably not outwith the question they could turn their attention to Marciano. Bid of that amount would probably be enough to get him from us.

[Lee Marvin]

Why would 200k be enough to buy marciano out of his 3.5yr deal???

[Billy Whizz]

Heard a lot about this lad, but he’s 21 now, only had 27 senior appearances, and scored one goal

[XXIVMMXVI]

Sturridge signed for WBA on loan. Could be a great signing for them if he manages to stay fit and gets a good run of games.

[bingo70]

Why would 200k be enough to buy marciano out of his 3.5yr deal???

How much do you think he is worth?

£200k is probably on the light side but wouldn’t be a million miles off the mark imo, especially when we’ve just signed a ready made replacement.

no danger £200k is getting you marciano

It was only a few games ago there was a clammer for him to be dropped.

So he chose West Brom over Inter Milan. Don't know if that says more about the level of Italian football these days or how English players are that wrapped up in the premier league and won't try anything different.

He comes from the Midlands - he may feel that money isn't an issue any more and wants to move home. Fair play to him if that's the case......

[Lee Marvin]

I don't know, but why would hibs sell for peanuts with 2 days of transfer window to go?!? That would be an absolutely horrific deal for us

[Billy Whizz]

A hunch?

Apparently it is to be closer to his family in the Midlands. The two Milan teams haven't been the same in recent years, still two massive clubs with Inter sitting 4th though.

[Aldo]

We got him on the cheap and I'm sure his former club would be due a cut of any future fee!

[bingo70]

Should stress I’m only speculating they may be interested, absolutely nothing more to it than a hunch.

There were rumours that we’re skint but Lennon wantsa few players in, this may be a way of getting some funds in if he feels Bain is a decent replacement.

Wonder if the green brigade fuds would start waiving Israel flags?

[Lmc2105]

A hunch?

Yeah more than anything else Billy, Bain would be a steady replacement. I think we need to raise some kind of funds to get something done. Who knows what could happen

[Lmc2105]

Was 40% not mentioned?!

[Aldo]

Not sure the percentage but there is Defo a sell on clause!

With McGinn & Marciano will we ever make a good profit 😕

Ha indeed!

[Stuart93]

We'd let our first choice international goalkeeper go for 200k? Whilst hearts are getting 300k for a piss poor striker. Not a chance.

Absolutely no need for us to sell him.

[Borderhibbie76]

But since then he has made outstanding saves in every game since the break that have kept us in the game

That new Celtic signing taking number 67 really is ***** patter

Someone else done it a couple of years ago for them as well.

Do they have any decent youngsters or fringe players we could be sniffing around?

[007]

Was 40% not mentioned?!

50% was bandied about on here when the deal was done.

[Lago]

Seems to be nothing but who is possibly leaving, who's coming in is just as important.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Looks like Hertz are struggling to cover Naismith's wages. Goncalvez off to the back of beyond for 6 figures and Laughatme possibly off to Sunderland.

[GreenCastle]

If we do lose anyone like SJM down south hopefully we get a loan back till end of the season to soften the blow and more time for a replacement.

His replacement was signed in the summer...

Rangers potentially set to get 6M for Morelos from China.
Scott Burns is usually spot on

That can't be right surely. We need to get a Chinese club interested in SJM. 10m minimum to them

Wow, great deal for Rangers at 6 million. When are we getting our China millions though?

[eastcoasthibby]

Feel sorry for the Mackems

Me too ..almost unbelievable if true they have no chance of staying up if depending on him !!

[RossScott1991]

Lots of huns on twitter claiming Morelos is worth 15million... Jesus !!

We should try cart McGinn off to a Chinese mob for ransom hahaha

[Captain Trips]

Rangers will still be perceived as a club that you need to offer decent fees for players. Morelos will be on a wage that will likely be decent meaning he is slightly more happy to knock back a move if the wages are not enough.

Our problem is SJM will be on a wage that even if a club offer him 7,8k pw that would turn head and unfortunately that will mean buying club know they can unsettle player with smaller bid than perhaps the players ability is worth.

Like it or not outside Sevco and Celtic we are all seen as didies who will just accept what we are offered and be happy with it.

[21sMay]

been told we will look to sign Murray Davidson if mcginn is sold. can't say I'd be impressed as he spends alot of time out injured

They’ve apparently rejected the bid. Got to be a load of pish, if anyone came calling to them with that kind of money they’d surely bite their hand off.

It’s like their Barrie McKay for 6 million story. Traynor is trying to shamelessly drum up interest for one of their players via his media chums.

[Brightside]

Why can we not sell players to these mental leagues for daft money? Keeps happening for Hearts rangers etc
