It's a notoriously tricky window which is reliant on a number of factors. I wouldn't be too despondent - I'm pretty sure we will have at least 2 more new faces in soon. Fourth in the league, playing good football, derby this weekend to hopefully go 10 in a row :aok: I'm maybe easy pleased but it's been exciting being a Hibs fan for the last 3 years :agree: I'm really looking forward to watching Jamie MacLaren too !

It's not that strange.

IIRC, there was a potential deal last year that fell through because the possibility of it was leaked. If that's the case, you can be sure that the club will be tighter than a duck's arse this year.

We will hear about things when they happen.

Absolutely no need for panic. We've brought in two players very early like we always say we want to.

Lennon has said he's happy with the core of his squad and I agree. It's important that if we bring anyone in now they are better than we have and will be able to push us to the next level.

We have some gaps in the squad but there are still two weeks left and I'd rather we wait to get the right players, even if that means waiting until summer.

I reckon Bain will be here to be more than a back up goalie. Not long ago he was in the Scotland squad and being tipped to sign for Celtic so I would say he’s a pretty exciting signing.

My only concern at this moment is something that was pointed out in one of the Swanson posts.

The 2 players we have brought in so far have been offered to us by agents for players needing to move. It doesn't seem that players are being specifically sounded out to do a job in an area of weakness instead it's the kind of sign a player because he's available mentality we had in the summer. I hope there's some kind of plan going on in the background.

We wanted MacLaren before he signed for his German club :agree: Bain is a very good and easy choice to make given Ross Laidlaw's injury. Proven at the level we are at, knows some of the players, can settle into the squad nicely without needing weeks to 'bed in'.

I'm certain we have at least 2 coming in :aok:

It doesn't concern me that we picked up a goalie of Bain' s ability because he needed to move on ....Maclaren can't comment on as I've never seen enough to make a judgement.

True. He was offered around though.

Bain is a very good goalie I would agree also, it's just a bit of signing them because they are there though instead of scouting the market for players we urgently require.

That's not the point I was trying to make sorry. The point was these guys came in because they where offered to us. I would like to see us bring in players that have been scouted and identified to make a significant contribution to the first team which doesn't seem to be the case either in this window or the summer gone.

What are you expecting? 43 goals in 61 games for Brisbane, hardly a look in at darmstadt but that's not an indication of his ability.

Don't really know what else you're expecting when we've signed a current international and a keeper who's been in the Scotland squad in recent years.

I get folk get a bit antsy without hearing rumours but the club is quite right to tighten up any leaks.

Have some faith we are exploring the right options, generally under LD recruitment has been positive and a lack of rumours is no indication at the clubs transfer policy or strategy.

Were half way through and we signed a striker who scored about 0.8 goals a game last time he was playing regularly and is an international.

We’ve also signed a very good goalie.

I’m quite happy with our business so far to be honest.

We’ve also as it stands still got McGinn which must be our biggest priority.

It’s that kind of window, unsettled players or journeymen, we’d be lucky to get decent players, unless they have had difficulty in their current club. I noted McLaren mentioned ‘players speaking English’ as a positive here and, perhaps the culture shock, as an Aussie-Scot, was not quite what he was used to in Germany.

The main scouting is done with next season in mind (in my opinion) and that takes place continually. This window you are looking to strengthen areas where we could do with 'extra', or to cover injuries - agents and clubs will constantly try and off load unwanted players this window to free up cash. Many are wanting promotion, trying to avoid relegation, cash strapped, etc.

At the level we are at, we are always going to be offered more players that other clubs don't want (or want off their books), rather than 'scouting' players (for this window). The job that GM and his team have to do is due diligence when and if we are offered players who may add quality to the squad. I'm really happy with the squad we have, the only slight concern is lack of full back cover / competition.

The problem with Hibs is they don't let many cats out of the bag. However GC and LD have both been on record as saying they are always looking at players and plan 3 windows in advance, anticipating departures as well as youth development promotions. Marry that with Lennon saying he has a few irons in the fire but now it may depend on players leaving before any new signings and that sort of gives us the full picture in this window. I think it is obvious that they're trying to push big Dave out and if he goes we will see another signing. We have had two youth players recalled from loans too. I see us maybe signing one more player and if SJM leaves which is still a possibility then we can expect another one once he's away. NL has stated he is happy with the core of his squad, we do however lack a bit of depth now, which hopefully one or two new signings would help with. This could end up being a quiet thread. :greengrin

Any club coming in for McGinn is going to either be a club in difficulties or one that thinks he can be bought cheaply in this window.Don’t think either of these scenarios suit him or Hibs.

Every player who wants a move has his agent working for him. Bain had to get away from Dundee and to me is a cracking piece of business knowing that should Rocky's firm dip we have a tremendous back up. Mclaren was on our radar before and is just the kind of player we have been looking for and looks a good signing. I don't know what people expect in this transfer window but I'd be happy if everything stayed as it is now bar maybe a promising rb to cover grays absence.

Doubt it unless we have a replacement lined up. He won't go unless everything falls into place. We don't need the transfer to fee right now unlike before and sjm has an old head on young shoulders and will only go if the deal suits all parties.

I would imagine Lennon and the board will be on the lookout for one or two midfielders just in case SJM & Dylan decide to move on in this window. If a club come in for McGinn we have to have a contingency plan to replace him.
If we get to keep him in this window, I’m happy that no other transfers happen apart from a RB to cover Gray.

If it’s a decent-ish offer then it will definitely be accepted. No way does the board risk having to sell him for the pennies if he’s left with a year or less on his contract.

The other transfer thread had sightings of Lennon on the plane to Belfast yesterday, coupled with news that Crusaders' right-winger Gavin Whyte was being looked at by a bunch of teams. Since Crusaders were scheduled to play yesterday (postponed due to weather), the theory would be that NL was going there to check the boy out.

It's all circumstantial put-two-and-two-together-to-make-five hypothesizing, but what's the point of a 'rumours' thread if you can't *start* a few rumours?

Its not a case of not needing the money. I highly doubt SJM will sign another contract at Hibs, he has more than repaid us for bringing him to the fore in Scottish football, but he knows that the time is close where he has to look at the future.

That being the case Hibs would not turn down any offer north of two million quid and leave us open to the distinct possibility of getting nothing later on. I can absolutely guarantee you that even though I have never even met John McGinn the last thing on his mind will be how it will suit Hibs if an English premiership club came in for him ... being a nice lad with a sensible head on his shoulders isn't the same thing as being so stupid he would turn down the chance of a lifetime. If Hibs were to stand in the way of that we would have one very unhappy player on our hands.

If we can keep him until the summer, great. What we need now is without doubt cover at right back and hopefully an attacking midfield player. Probably more important than that is torturing Dylan McGeouch until he uses the fingers we have left unbroken in the process to hold the pen that signs his new contract.

It would be nothing like as mental on their forums if they get beat on Sunday. We've had a terrific run unbeaten in nine with having humped them out the SC two seasons in a row and having broken the hoodoo at the same time on the way.

It would finish them off while we would be gutted granted but I'd still be proud of the run we've had.

In any case I think we will prevail and there will be tears at hearts being broken once more down at the piggery.

I think we have to realise it's easy to bring in 3, 4 or even 5 mediocre players during this window and we have done in the past.

We are now trying to bring in the right type and quality which is never easy in this window as teams tend to want to hold onto their better players.

We should however only add a few in the Jan window to complement what we already have and that for me is what NL is doing.

If we ship out a few we may see a few more but we have some decent quality and with the standards set we should only add if they are at the same level or better

Types of loan in Scottish football

There are three types of loan deals in Scottish football: the standard loan, the development loan and an emergency loan.

A standard loan can only take place from one transfer window until the next. If a player moves in January, the terms of the temporary transfer must last until the opening of the summer window.

A development loan, as the name suggests, is for younger players and allows some flexibility.

The player can, in some circumstances, continue to play in the Development League or Challenge Cup for his parent club as well as playing first team football for the club he is been loaned to.

The emergency loan is similar to the standard loan but can be used outside of the transfer window.

So what is considered to be an emergency?
An emergency loan is not just for an injury crisis. In fact, there is nothing in the rules stating any special criteria for a club to be eligible to use it. It is just a normal loan that doesn't take place in a transfer window and through until the next one opens.

Can any club use this then?
No. Emergency loans are only available to clubs in the Championship, League One or League Two.


How long is an emergency loan allowed to be?
It has a minimum term of 28 days and a maximum of 93 days.

How many loan players are a club allowed in a season?
There are quite a few restrictions on how many loan players, what type of loan and who they can be loaned from.

A club cannot have more than four players on loan at any one time (excluding development loans)

Clubs cannot have more than one player over the age of 21 on loan at the same time

In any one season, there cannot be more than two players over the age of 21 on loan

Clubs can only loan one player at a time from a single club in the same division

Clubs cannot loan more than two players at a time from a club in another division

There is a maximum of three players from any one club allowed on loan, including development loans

Is there a maximum amount of combined loans?
Yes. Between July 1 and June 30 of the following year a club can only have five players on loan, whether standard or emergency loans.

What about players on loan from clubs outside Scotland?
These are not technically loans and so do not count towards the limits. They are international transfers with a return date so a club can take as many of those players as they wish.

In summary you are half right or is it half wrong😁

Doubt it unless we have a replacement lined up. He won't go unless everything falls into place. We don't need the transfer to fee right now unlike before and sjm has an old head on young shoulders and will only go if the deal suits all parties.

If as the post this replies to suggests it's West Ham I'd be surprised if McGinn rejected it.

West Ham looking better and with a chance of staying up, Scottish manager and reasonable chance to force his way into a team in the EPL.
It's an excellent opportunity for him - in many ways better than going for a Championship club in the promotion hunt as those teams very often dump a fair few of the guys that got them to the Premiership to roll the dice on some new players.

And while we don't need a fee right now McGinn wanting to go would likely leave us little choice if there was a couple of million on the offer.

He often looked to me to be a winger playing at right back. Good on the ball, quick, excellent dribbler. Not seen much of him to know about his distribution or defensive qualities but he looked to me to be a huge threat gliding forward in possession.

It may even have been the "Calum Booth seagull" friendly a few years ago but I remember seeing a big marauding run starting down near his own corner flag (on the right, near us) and thought "who is he"?

I doubt Lennon will be thinking the same - think he might be in the market for a full back on loan til the summer for one thing.

I think we are in the positive situation of having a fairly settled squad and therefore not being under pressure to gamble on the limited mid-season market. That doesn't rule out Lennon making a late move if someone is available that can make a real difference though.

So - if I'm right, given that McLaren and Barker are on loan from clubs outwith Scotland, we only have one loan player in Scott Bain who counts towards the above categories - which means we can loan LOADSA players yet if we want to - go to it Lennie :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: :cb

According to Lennon, he has players on the radar ( who, I do not know) but needs to offload first. So my understanding is we'll need to hear of someone leaving before we hear of another coming in. That's not rumour as that's what Lennon said himself.

Only played 11 games in a team that have been dreadful. Been injured alot.

Also has 4 assists, which for perspective, is more than our central midfielders. Mcginn has 3 in the league McGeouch has 1 in 21 apps each.

The development fee has put everyone off, very good player and would get into most midfield in the league, maybe not ours at present mind you.

Was there not some issue with Sibbald last season? I am sure he refused to extend his contract, even though it was offered on same or similar wages.
No one would pay the development fee which I think was around 4-500k and he ended up sitting in the stand watching Falkirk games but technically being out of contract and in the end had to sign a 1 year deal, or maybe longer.

Yeh. Was on trial with a few teams during the summer. Trained at Falkirk throughout the summer when not on trials. Nobody would pay his development fee which is hefty due to like 250+ apps and 30+ goals & 40+ assists, waited until the end of the transfer window then signed a 1 year deal with Falkirk

I for one have always been a big fan of Sibbald. If he was available free then I think he could potentially be a great signing given a bit of time to adjust.

It's probably fair to say he has stagnated at Falkirk now which probably isn't a huge surprise having played there at first team level for 6-7 years. I reckon a new challenge, in a team doing well would propel him on to bigger and better things.

People are quick to look at the 'basic' stats i.e goals scored, assists, how teams performing etc and make a quick call judgement on this. Ultimately though if he is good enough i'm sure our recruitment team will be on top of it doing their jobs, analysing all his stats and then putting it to the manager.

His bro's also a big Hibs fan along with another couple of the family members so you never know.

Dont think Anya can be classed as someone whose legs have gone ? The game.time thing is perhaps an issue but, if the money side is accurate then that probably doesn't mean he hasn't been training with the first team squad with a team thats going well , personally this type of signing would appeal to me very much, I think he really could bring something to the party.

Hope so, we have had years where we have had little to no pace. Every team needs someone with some pace to keep defenders honest and not let them push too high up the pitch. The more pace the better as long as the players have ability. Anya has looked very good for Scotland and seems to be a bit of a late bloomer and has played a good deal less than half the games Naismith has. He is not a goal scorer though and we already have two decent wingers. Maybe we will play him at right back or wing back

He was out of contract last season and looking to move but everybody put off with the fact they had to pay a development fee. He was forced into re-signing for Falkirk.

I appreciate the rules here are supposed to be designed to protect small clubs from having their best players poached but this seems crazy.

Player power is getting silly at the top of the game but in effect forcing young players to stay with their club is wrong.

Celtic and Hendo is another good example of how the rules don't seem to work in practice.

Sorry but that’s just madness. Not rating Naismith already raised my eyebrows as I think folk in your camp of thinking regarding that one are going to be proven majorly wrong. Anya though, 99 Watford appearances in a very decent Championship and then was a starter a good amount of the time in the English Premiership!

Full International capped an impressive 29 times. Showed immense quality with his pace and goal away to Germany couple of years back. Only just turned 30 two weeks ago, pace to burn still there and proven.

Sorry bud, to each their own of course, but how any Hibee could not get excited about the prospect of us landing a player like that is beyond me.

Probably all nonsense anyway though because he can play at a far higher level and demand much higher wages.
