Transfer rumours (Hibs only)

[Unseen work]

Not seen McLaren or Kamberi properly so I can't give an opinion of them yet.

That looks to me like 4 strikers if 2 go and the other is rumour only.

Yes and if the others leave it will give us the money to sign a more experienced proven player.

[KWJ]

Why would anyone be against a try before you buy deal?

Agathe.

Leaving it all a bit late for that to happen I'd thought, I noticed the guys on Sportscene at the weekend mentioning Dobbie being a good signing as he knows where the goals are, he may be 35 but not a bad shout TBH.

[HeidTheBaw]

Why would anyone be against a try before you buy deal?

My issue with "try before you buy" is that come the end of the trial period, if said player is a success and we want him then the price suddenly inflates and the selling club will probably insist on add-ons. However if we punted a bid in for Kamberi now we may be throwing good money after bad and limiting our budget for the future.

Who'd be in Lenny's shoes huh?

[GreenPJ]

Without Stokes we look very average upfront...not convinced with any of these forwards we've signed.

We weren't exactly banging them in with Stokes up front (or more to the point when he was meant to be upfront).

One of the big frustrations for me with Stokes was we signed him as a forward/striker but most of the time he was around the centre circle.

No doubting Stokes technical ability as a footballer but just not sure he is a disciplined forward or a natural goalscorer so am happy to forgo the technical aspect if we can get a goalscorer/disciplined striker who knows where and when to run.

Got to give these guys a chance. Let’s be honest how much does anyone know of them?

I would hope our deal with this would be a set agreed fee so we have option to make perm at x amount pre set. However I don't see why the other team would be open to this, but you never know.

I'm sure people will give them a chance but are just anxious to actually see them in the team.

We signed McLaren and he hasn't had any significant time on the pitch in the 3 games he's been here, despite our troubles in front of goal.

The problem with these short term deals is that we don't want them to just be getting up to speed then disappearing again.

[southern hibby]

So our front line is going to look like:

S Murray
Shaw
Big Davy
MacLaren
Kamberi

With M Boyle as well? It’s quite a lot of players to keep happy.

What about Stokes? You forgot to mention him.

McLaren needs games because of the world cup, I don't think we have an option to buy him.

Kamberi was playing in Germany at Karlsruher on loan from Grasshopper Zurich who are a top Swiss team, obviously he's not now in their plans but he's hopefully good enough for our level, if he does well and wants to stay there will be an option in place that a nominal fee will be enough to purchase him. Have a good 5 months look at him if it doesn't work out no harm done but he could be a wee gem and we could get him for a modest fee similar to Slivka.

[Borderhibbie76]

people need something to moan about!!Yup we've signed another strikers so the moaners need something to moan about on here

From the little I have seen of him he looks a good runner at players with the ball but I fear he won't be a good striker.

[SRHibs]

If he had the same history and was called Phil Cambridge I wouldn’t care but he’s got a cool name so he’s gonna be awesome. Welcome!

[SHODAN]

I agree that taking players in on short term deals or loans implicitly states that we don't actually think they're that good (as we would be happier to give a longer contract to a "better" player). This is especially worrying where we NEED a top class finisher, and a striker with 4 career goals is highly unlikely to be that. I don't think that's what he's been signed for though.

[Hibby soldier]

Says he is ready to sign for Hibs when he gets all-clear from injury.........

[Hibbyradge]

How old is that statement?

6 months? Longer?

We've been pretty average with Stokes in the team up front, i'm neither convinced or unconvinced yet with the players we've brought in, after having a wee look at them over a few games, i will let you know though.

[CMurdoch]

Only a loan to the summer so nothing to lose if the deal goes through.

Good age if he has something about him.

Not into negativity for negativities sake, It's just an opinion.
I was pleased about the MacLaren signing. Looks a good poacher and runner off the shoulder but we haven't really seen him yet to make any judgement.

Pleased about the Bain signing.

Rherras might prove a good bit of business. Juat need to wait and see.

I wasn't down about the Hearts result because that isn't looking at the big picture.

My only concern about McGinn is getting the right money for him

The only issues bugging me at the moment are Stokes and the possible loss of McGeough at the end of the season.
All else is good.

[My_Wife_Camille]

If he can score 4 goals from open play and score a few penalties between now and the end of the season then he’ll be a fine replacement for Stokes

:agree: on the skippy clappy.

Although he hasn't exactly set the heather alight, Grasshopper is a pretty good standard, and he at least managed a reasonable number of games for them. 4th in the Swiss league, I'd expect them to comfortably beat any Scottish team bar Celtc.

Anyway, welcome and good luck, Florian!

Not confident, “adds physical presence” words by lennon. Any chance of signing a goal scorer who we know will add goals?

I hope I’m wrong and he can shut me up. just feels like I’ve stepped into a time machine and it’s back to signing rowan vine and kuqi type signings under lennon.

Kuqi was 35 when he signed for Hibs, Vine was 30 - both were journeymen who had decent spells with a couple of clubs.

Which signings are you comparing them to? I presume it's not Kamberi

I’m not talking about the age I’m talking about the quality.

Holt and Commons aren’t exactly spring chickens. Whittaker on a 3 year deal.

I just don’t have confidence in him with his ability to spot a player tbh. Certainly wouldn’t be confident to trust him with money we make from McGinn. He will probaly want to sign heskey and commons on long term deals with the money.

I’m sorry, as I say I hope my words are rammed down my throat. But 2 strikers we haven’t a clue about on loan deals, I just can’t bring myself to do cartwheels at the thought. He’s messed up recruitment big time this month.

[ancient hibee]

I hope they get rammed down your throat as well.Not sure that fans have to know all about strikers from all over the world before they’re considered suitable to sign for us.Loads of players have been signed in the past who the vast majority had never heard of and were big successes.

That last statement is at best unproven speculation and at worst total negative bollox.

Goalkeeper injured, replacement signed.
Both right backs injured, replacement signed who can also cover at left back.
Not enough goals, international forward signed with good goalscoring record.
Potential one or two energetic forward players coming in.

McGinn not leaving this window, McGeough not leaving this window. Stokes hopefully leaving and taking his unprofessional outlook with him.

Seems fine to me?

I agree with this 100%

These types of signings are a waste of a wage. What has the big Lithuanian contributed? He was clearly a panic acquisition. I fear this guy is too. I am disappointed with our lack of ambition in the transfer market, especially when we know we will be cashing in on McGinn now or in the summer

[Paisley Hibby]

If that's true then "agreement" suggests Stokes has trousered yet another fee for terminating a contract. I was about to say what a waste of money and then I realised it's probably worth every penny to get rid of the ****. I guess this is what he planned all along. No doubt there's another set of mugs waiting in the wings to pay him a signing on fee (followed by the inevitable).

[brog]

TBH, that's more worrying! NL does like a big guy up front but I'm not sure he's great at assessing the quality of these players. The jury's still out on Holt's impact at ER & NL's pursuit of Heskey was embarrassing.

Think it’s probably safe to assume John Mcginn will be staying now though which has to be good news.

How is Stubbs work being undone? Lennon took a squad that was in the Championship and won the league at a canter - we sit four points clear in 4th place in the SPL with 14 games left. He's taken us to two semi finals out of four knockout tournaments also. What work has been undone exactly?

It's insane the amount of people on here that are totally slating player recruitment - if we finish in the top four every season, I hope it remains as "bad" as this year.

Wonder if by agreeing with Stokes to leave tonight before the deadline shuts then we might have something else in the pipeline for tomoro? Not sure why they would do it otherwise. Ofcourse they don’t want him round while he’s not being considered but I just think the timing means we might not be done this window.

Well we've just freed who I presume was our highest earner, so I would think that work would be done to get someone in in this scenario.

Though we could maybe earmark some of it for Dylan's contract offer.

More likely it's because it suits Stokes so he can sign for someone else - otherwise he could have sat tight picking up a wage for doing hee haw. I'd be surprised if we haven't had to give him a pay off though. Which maybe means this had cost us rather than saved money. So more likely to be about getting rid of a bag of trouble while we can rather than replacing.

What I said was the good work that Stubbs had done in recruiting players was getting undone, this is Lennon's fourth window and most of the first team regulars were signed by the previous manager. But to answer you point about promotion and the semi finals, we got promoted from a weak championship and (bar Hearts) we should have beaten every team on the two cup runs to the semi's, fantastic Derby at Easter Road I grant you. I just go to the home games and I've found the performances to be pretty dull, bar a couple of exceptions this season.

[B.H.F.C]

Your guess is as good as mines. But it's fairly obvious there has been disaplinary issues so would be disappointing if we had to pay anything to get rid on the back of that. I don't think we will have.

The first job of any manager coming to a club is to get the best out of who's already there - Lennon has done that. Stubbs didn't have that option as we had released practically a whole first team squad.

Signing players provides competition for places, and can motivate players that are already there.

The crazy thing is that many were hailing the summer window as our best ever - four months and a semi final later, we sit clear in fourth place in the SPL, yet our recruitment has been terrible? Doesnt really stack up, does it? Something is working.

This Bain story better not be true. Why t would we weaken our own team to strengthen Celtic. If Lennon allows this I feel that this place will go into melt down.

I’d assume we would be compensated financially and if we can get someone else in he may decide it’s a worthwhile deal for us.

What if Dundee are allowed to cancel the loan and make themselves some money and we can do nothing about it?

He’s registered a Hibs player until his loan is up. We’d have to agree.

[One Day Soon]

What I said was the good work that Stubbs had done in recruiting players was getting undone, this is Lennon's fourth window and most of the first team regulars were signed by the previous manager. But to answer you point about promotion and the semi finals, we got promoted from a weak championship and (bar Hearts) we should have beaten every team on the two cup runs to the semi's, fantastic Derby at Easter Road I grant you. I just go to the home games and I've found the performances to be pretty dull, bar a couple of exceptions this season.


I'm afraid that is bollocks IMHO.

[One Day Soon]

This Bain story better not be true. Why t would we weaken our own team to strengthen Celtic. If Lennon allows this I feel that this place will go into melt down. Bad enough he left our training camp to go to a celtic event. Letting a player leave to sign for them would be a right kick in the balls.

Oh FFS. Evidence?

[blackpoolhibs]

I agree with this 100%

These types of signings are a waste of a wage. What has the big Lithuanian contributed? He was clearly a panic acquisition. I fear this guy is too. I am disappointed with our lack of ambition in the transfer market, especially when we know we will be cashing in on McGinn now or in the summer

Apart from the fact we scouted him for a while, and hoped he'd make the improvements needed to push on and get in our team.

He didn't, it happens, panic my arse.

[Famous Fiver]

They could maybe loan us the hot Chelsea boy they got today.

A big boy said it then ran away, so it obviously must be true.

Stokes probably our highest earner of the books and Bain of the books also. Might be a bit too optimistic but maybe we are about to pull off a decent signing tomorrow. We’re pretty good at keeping things under wraps until they get unveiled

I think the clue is in "agree". That's unlikely to mean sacked but I'd love to be wrong.

It could be one of the "mutual concent" statements where a manager is told he's being binned however, so that he can go with some dignity, they agree to tell the punters it's a mutual decision.

Sacked. In breach of contract.

If Leanne has indeed managed to sack him by going through the steps of verbal, written warnings etc it will be one of her greatest victories given she will have removed Stokes without shovelling massive amounts of money into his pockets as Blackburn had to do. It would be great to find out but doubt we ever will officially.

Would work the same way that Celtc supposedly sign Bain. Loan cancelled and permanent transfer made between Celtc/Hibs. Seems very unlikely that Dundee would agree to let Allan’s loan be cancelled though, he’s a key player for them.

We've been playing one up top in the majority of games, Shaw, McLaren and Kamberi would be enough for that, rumours that another striker may be coming but nothing yet. I'd take Allan over Murray as he creates chances, something that's been lacking in this team.

Remember we accepted a bid from a Turkish side but he turned it down.

If the loans of both player require Hibs and Dundee respectively to agree to the release then Hibs agree to let Bain go to celtic aslong as we can get Scott Allan, who would need Dundee to agree the release and it would leave them a player down so why would they do it? Hibs throw in Murray to dundee and it would give them the incentive to sanction the release of Allan.

Celtic swap Allan for Bain. Then we swap Murray for Allan.

Scott Allan's loan to Dundee is cancelled in return for us agreeing to cancel Scott Bain's loan, allowing them to sell Bain to Celtic.

Scott Allan signs for us on a permanent deal and we loan a player to Dundee for the rest of the season in return.

If they also sell Jack Hendry we could offer them Fontaine or Porteous for cover for the rest of the season.

[Hibee87]

Fonts must be gutted. His potential move looks straightforward and boring 😄

Maybe he needs the kick up the erse type manager to get the best out of him, I notice he didn't exactly set the heather on fire in his Rotherham loan spell and Stubbs was manager there, so what happened with his relationship with Stubbs that was obviously decent when he was at Hibs, did he see Rotherham as beneath him, not exactly a club you'd choose to sign for.

yes. , fair point - not sure he is a trouble maker - other than he has left every club that he got regular games at quickly - so not a loyal character. Also his attitude is a bit up and down isn't it..a bit moody - but I guess that often comes with those with natural talent..

Quick check on the Dundee forums and they are puzzled as to why he doesn’t start either as they are all in agreement he is their best player and all want him signed long term.
Just because Neil McCann doesn’t know how to use him properly doesn’t mean he’s a bad player.
We need creativity in the final third. Scott Allan is as good as we’ll get in our price range. If we can make this happen I’ll be delighted. He’s just about to come into his peak years as a player. And he plays a killer pass as good as any player in the league.

Scott Allan contributed to our Scottish Cup win almost as much as Stokes did - his wee strop got us Henderson & McGeouch on a permanent deal, plus money/incentive to sign McGinn!

[Captain Trips]

We are in sad process of cutting ties with Stokes the last thing to do is sign up somebody else whom caused a bit of disruption while here last and has since gone on to do nothing more than bounce around a few clubs.

Hopefully Lennon gets in a fresh face going forward.

We'd definitely bring in another goalie.

If this is the case, then I'd be happy. Allan is the creative player we are missing. I was hopeful at one point we might get Mallan in on loan but he's been a starter for Barnsley for the last 4/5 games.

Cant regret it that much because he was in the papers laughing about how hearts, hibs, Rangers, Celtic and Dundee United fans don't like him because of how disloyal he is

[Delboy4]

If this happens I can see Dylan going. Are we trying to get cover for him? How ironic, that would free up the No.10 jersey!!

Would rather have DM than SA anyday...

[rotherhamrob]

I would not wish Rotherham on anybody!

😂😂 neither would I.

Dylan sits far deeper than Allan, they'd compliment each other, the fact that Dylan wears the number 10 means nowt as he doesn't play in that position.

Dylan and Scott Allen could easily play in the same team. 2 players good with the ball at their feet.

Dylan's a defensive midfielder. Allan's the link between midfield and the strikers. Totally different players.

[Jones28]

Hope not. Despite his lack of goals, I love watching him play, when he gets the ball at feet and is facing the defenders he's a real menace. If he can get goals to his game he'll be a star

The boys real talent, if he added 10 goals to his game he'd be a coup for Hibs

[CapitalGreen]

He said he was happy at hibs and not looking to leave on hibstv which was clearly a lie as a few days later handed in a transfer request to try and force through a move to our rivals for that season just days before the start of the season which led to us having a poor start to the season.

Oh the humanity

Could this mean McGinn is away?

lol...can you imagine if he had gone on HibsTV and said..."nah, I fancy away to be honest - would love to play for Rangers.."

No

Lol he didn't need to lie to the fans lol

:). if he is asked the question..he had to give the "stock" reply "I am happy here"....We can't hold it against him

He didn't need to do the interview and he didn't need to force a move days before the start of the season. There was speculation all summer but he waited until then to do it.

Anyone who doesn’t want to be lied to shouldn’t follow football.

I have a different view for that...he got a three year deal and probably 4 x his money...Footballers need to look after themselves only. I have no issue with what he did. And to this day, I am delighted Hibs forced him out to Celtic rather than let him go to Rangers.

[brog]

We are in sad process of cutting ties with Stokes the last thing to do is sign up somebody else whom caused a bit of disruption while here last and has since gone on to do nothing more than bounce around a few clubs.

Hopefully Lennon gets in a fresh face going forward.

Scott Allan is quite fresh faced! On a more serious note it's maybe because I'm older but I really can't get over excited about players & their supposed disloyalty to us, or any other club. Since Bosman there's really no such thing as club loyalty & I'm not sure there should be, even though I love Hibs supporters playing for Hibs & I love players like Fonts & Marvin coming in & getting our club. If you're an accountant, or an engineer & a rival company offers to double your wage & give you a lump of cash to join up then I'm pretty sure nearly every person here would be off before you could say " Stokesy's on Fire ". The only thing that matters is that the player gives 100% while at Hibs & improves our team. If you doubt either of these things regarding Scott Allan, then look at this video & the unbridled joy on his face as he lays on goals against his supposed heroes.

Possibly - if so, we've saved money on a replacement and can maybe shell out a bit more for a top quality striker.

Yup, we should keep buying more strikers and neglect our need for players who can create chances for them.

Would imagine that’s us done after the Kamberi signing
