Summer transfer thread

[Since90+2]

That fee was pretty mad wasn't it.....too much money down there.....even when on top form, Naismith was never an 8-10M player


Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

In his prime Naismith was definitely worth 8-10 million though that was a good 4 or 5 years ago now. You don't score a hatrick against Chelsea if your not a good player.

[Greenworld]

So the 1st July tomorrow and I think someone said a new tax year for hibs .
Maybe just maybe we will get some signings in now .

No one said he wasn’t a good player. But he has never really been a regular starter anywhere in the top league down there..it would have been a big fee for him at any time - it was over priced when it occurred

Still a decent player at our level. And will do well wherever he goes for the next few years

As crazy as it is you don't need to be a guaranteed starter to be valued at 8-10m in England. Players that are clearly going to be subs and squad players regularly go for far, far more than 8-10m.

Had hoped we'd finally see our squad start to take shape this week, especially with Lennon saying he wanted the majority of the signings in by w/b 18th June. We need to get the finger oot asap or we'll half ar$e the Europa League qualifiers again.

I don’t think Lennon is focused of the Europa League - league placings seems to be the priority- think it will be end of the window before we see the full squad in shape. Maybe a couple Of signings prior to the euro games

We have signed well recently, so patience will be required to try to get the best we can for our money ....

I doubt the tax year has held us back on signings.
We'd surely simply structure the deal to start from 1st July if we needed the money to come from that year's budget are more to blame.

I reckon complexities around McGinn's situation and us needing to resolve our main two (Allan, Mallan) or possibly three (Maclaren) targets.
It sounds like we want Allan and Mallan but their current managers are not sure whether they want them themselves this year.

And if Maclaren is also on the list he's been at the World Cup obviously.

If those are the players we're after we probably won't be moving onto different targets until those and McGinn are resolved or until a certain point in the window is reached when we need to move on.

Don't get me wrong - I'd like to see us with players (and particularly the ones we want) in by now but I'd rather we got the quality even if it's right at the end of the window and we have a sluggish start. Bad as that would be it's better than having a Rowan Vine tying up a wage.

Lennon and everyone else at East Mains is very much focussed on the Europa league. It’s the richest comp we play in this season and has the power to transform the finances of the club.
Nothing will improve our league chances more than doing well in the Europa league.

:agree:

I think there are two aspects there - the possible merry-go-round with McGinn and Allan swapping clubs means that the guy who is probably our prime target being held up and then the money aspect. For all Lennon has apparently been given the biggest budget Hibs have ever given I suspect that the money we'd get for McGinn would significantly alter what we can do in terms of possible transfer / signing on fees.

I'll certainly feel a lot calmer if we have Allan in.
The intelligence of his play brings the players around him up a notch and he's the guy I'd look to for unpicking a stubborn defensive side at Easter Road.

I do also think that Slivka will be a big player for us this year and I suspect he may be taking one of the first choice centre midfield roles.
If, with a run of games, he can get consistently up towards the level he's played at in some of the matches (two Rangers games spring to mind) he'd be quite the player to have.

Failing to see the point of concentrating on league placing to the detriment of our Europa campaign, when the prize for a good finish in the league is... a Europa campaign

This is more like it, a decent rumour. The lad looks good, and done very well for Dundalk.

[SChibs]

Who’s social media ? A reporter or general chit chat ?
Not doubting you btw

It was a hibs news type page. They usually just pick up rumours that are doing the rounds i think but I'm not sure where they got this one from.

Would take Eoin Doyle of their hands as well, always rated him when he was here, probably a bit out of our range though.

Not necearly. we lacked alternatives in the wide positions last year, would be good to have options/cover.

I'm hoping Murray and Flo start together today. Would just be interesting to see the link up.
I'm aware it's just the Rosey Posey, but interesting none the less

Have to agree. If Maclaren isn’t coming back I’d happily take a look.

[southsider]

That would be a decent signing. It would also mean Barker wouldn’t be coming back I would imagine.
Would have loved to have seen what Barker would have been like when played thru the middle, playing off Flo. With that pace he could give defenders a 5 yard start and still beat them to Flo's flick on's.

[matty_f]

Winger and a keeper still very much on the cards, Hibs hoped to have had at least one done by yesterday as pretty much everything's agreed so hopefully we'll have news before long.

actions suggest otherwise ...we will go into the games without our full squad assembled - I’m sure they will be 100 percent focussed and with desire to qualify through the rounds - but we won’t have the full quality in place by then - so as I say. Actions suggest otherwise ... I’ve no problem with that either - blackpoolhibs made some good points on this topic
- perhaps even on this thread ..

Seriously overhyped as is the norm from our support.

[J-C]

Puskas, Messi & Maradona didn't do too badly for being very 1 footed. It is strange however that left footed players are always much more one footed than right footed players.

A wee bit different talent wise, Messi scored a decent goal with his right the other day. 😁

The principle's the same though & the fact everyone was talking about Messi scoring with his right foot only demonstrates how rare it is. I know these guys are geniuses but even when Maradona beats half the Engerlund team in 1986 he still runs round the ball to poke it into the net with his left foot. On a more realistic level some of my all time favourite Hibs players, Alex Cropley, Arthur Duncan & Eric Stevenson rarely used their right foot. It's just a part of being left footed.

Better than him moving to Aberdeen or das Huns

A move motivated by money but can’t blame the guy. He’s not got the best injury record and football is a short career at the best of times, get the money while you can

Dylan always gave his all for us and is a legend for his part in the 2016 cup victory, 2017 promotion and helping us to achieve European football last year

A legend that will always be welcome in Leith

Good luck Dylan

[Paisley Hibby]

Whittaker, imo, has been a bit of a dud signing. Sproules return wasn't great.

I thought Thomson was near finished when he left us a second time, and while he did play his role in the Scottish Cup run, I can remember watching him get his back side handed to him by Morton midweek and it was obvious he was finished then. GOC's goals dried up around Christmas when he, by the sounds of it, felt he was offski and when it fell through lost the heid.

Lets try stay clear of some of our ex players that aren't bordering on the retirement home for once.

What did he do that was Great? All I seen was him giving the ball away through slack passing, being caught out of position because he lacked the pace to get back into his position, diving in and being skinned or backing off into the box and letting people get shots away.

Just curious if anyone had heard anythingApparently training with the young lads seems to have been bombed out of first team squad.
They have been signing a fair few players would imagine jason will be moved on or loaned out.
Not been a good move for him other than money I guess

Can only presume it's to do Jamie Mclaren having his first name confused with James

It's also Maclaren. As there was a James McLaren who played for us in the early years the poster is probably just being "funny".

[Winston Ingram]

Whittaker a dud signing? Seriously???

He’s been very poor. His legs have gone and we’ve got him for another 2 years.

Rowan Vine was very poor, Whittaker nowhere near that. Average at worst.

[we are hibs]

But you are the one who brought up what you saw snd how you saw it...were you at the celtic and kilmarnock games? He was absolutely excellent in both.

2 games out of how many? And he was poor before that goal against killie.



You say people don’t put forward evidence to back up their opinions that he’s not a dud. When they do you simply deflect them and refuse to acknowledge the evidence presented. Sure we can all differ in our views and opinions but you seem to behave in the very manner that you’re accusing those who have a different view to yourself of displaying. A strange way to act.

Saying "He's played well" over and over doesn't make it true.. That's all anyone has said. Absolutely nothing to back it up.

It’s not that long since the Sevconians were talking him up and that they should try to get him back to Ibrox. Gerrard has clearly raised their expectations and he seems to have gone off their radar.

There is no point in debating with people like you who absolutely just refuse to see anything positive someone does because it doesn’t suit your own pathetic argument.

He might not have been brilliant but some of the comments about how bad he is are ridiculous.

[My_Wife_Camille]

I don’t agree with the guy who thinks Whittaker has been awful, I think he’s been ok. He’s had a few awful games, a few good games and a whole bunch of simply average games. He’s not been a bad signing but not been great either.

I do agree with him on what he’s saying about how people on here can’t accept someone else’s opinion on a player unless it’s an outright positive one. It seems on here you can have a positive opinion on 99% of the players but as soon as you don’t rate one or two then you get hounded by those that just hand bear anyone saying something remotely negative about a Hibs player.

The argumneg usually goes along the lines of “yes he is good, you are wrong” with very little to actually back it up apart from a plethora of sarcastic comments.

Think is not evidence. Here's a few facts off the top of my head.

1. SW scored 4 goals in 125 starts first time round, he scored 2 in 19 last season.
2. After being out injured SW came on as a sub at RC away & Partick at home. We were losing 1-0 at RC & were drawing 0-0 with Partick when he came on. We drew 1-1 at RC & won 2-0 against Partick, after SW came on as a sub. I ( & many others ) thought ( not evidence ) that SW helped considerably to turn the game around against Partick.
3. After those 2 games, SW was 1st choice for holding midfield role for remainder of the season. He scored an excellent & vital goal against Killie, guaranteeing us 4th spot, & ultimately Europe.

We all have varying opinions about players, no one's is right or wrong but continual repetition & continual putting down of a Hibs player does not give your opinion any more validity.

[hfc rd]

Why?


Brilliant. Can you provide a valid excuse as to why? Or reason? Whatever's easier.

I think you are spot on. He was poor in defence at the start of the season (opinion), but he was carrying an injury. Since returning and being used further forward to midfield, some of his workload (tracking back) has been removed and he is freer to to be more creative. He isn't needed as a defender, but is there in an emergency. I for one am well happy he is at ER

[Captain Trips]

SW is a jury is out thus far for me. I am taking out any previous connections to club.

If we sold him I would be not bothered likewise if we keep him. He has not IMO been awful average at the best.

Hopefully he can improve as there is a lot of room to do so.

You’ll just ignore any positives but off the top of my head;

Played at right wing back in a win at Ibrox.
Played at right back in a derby win.
Played on the right of a back 3 in a win against Celtic.

All big games where he played a big part in good team performances. Plenty other games where he played well. Did ok in midfield when required.
And like most players had the odd poor game.

His versatility was clearly important to the team. Even chipped in with the odd goal and assist.

If we are now seeing Whitts as one of our ‘very poor’ players it shows just how far we’ve come. The criticism he receives from some is baffling. Yes, everyone is entitled to their opinion. Well my opinion is those who think he’s been a ‘dud’ are talking utter drivel.

No I won't just ignore positives. I'm not ignorant like you and I am open to others opinions.

This is the last time im going to get involved in this. Whittaker's best game last season imo was the Celtic semi when he came on. He set up shaw's goal and handled Sinclair pretty well. He played in a few games towards the end of the season and did ok in a couple but he was far too inconsistent for me. I've never once said he was woeful ALL of the time but he's been poor more than good for me. He took his goal against killie well but during that game, particularly in the first half I thought his passing was really slack and if he's going to be played in midfield he needs to improve massively in that sense. He shouldn't have started the derby either. He was poor that night and Bartley was a better bet. I want him to be great and I want to see what your seeing but I'm not. I'm not going to claim I am because I would be lying.


I know he's never been a great defender, even in his first spell but the December game at Easter Road he was really poor against Sinclair who he kept backing off from. The ibrox 3-2 game Windass kept flying past him early on because he was diving in. He either dives in or backs off too much. There doesn't seem to be an inbetween. I don't understand this versatility thing either. Just because someone can play in numerous positions doesn't mean they play overly well there.


I hope he kicks on and does well this season but my instinct, plus what I seen last season is leading me to think he physically can't Anymore.

Probably wouldn’t be in my first choice 11. But our first 11 are rarely all available and a player like him is invaluable. Pretty much reflected in the numerous good results he contributed to playing in a variety of positions.

Your weren’t watching properly then. He put in several excellent performances but by that time he had attained fall guy status with the more blinkered supporters who love to stick the boot in to our own players.

Doubtless you will come across all keyboard hardman over this, sadly it will be wasted on me as it think I will ignore your "inane dross" going forward.

Mallan had agreed personal terms before he went on holiday. As I posted a while ago, he told the board he wanted to return to Scotland Hibs got in touch Mallan was happy with the deal we offered it’s just signing the contract now. His missus wants to come back to Scotland as well.

The rumour was that he agreed £5k per week for this season but wanted that trebled if they went up.

Sunderland will only allow a wage rise of 30% upon promotion so they could only go to £6.5k per week for next season.

If he signs, they must have found a way around it.

Source - their new chairman is very active on twitter and has been very open with fans about negotiations.

[Daydreamer]

Thanks

He also told me that the wages Sunderland have offered were'nt that much more than we have offered but the second year of his contract could be near enough double in the Championship.

[Centre Hawf]

Whittaker a dud signing? Seriously???

Just my opinion to be honest.. I’ve noticed some people have taken it as slander against the family name and gotten a bit personal in their disagreements which is odd.

Can’t really be bothered to get dragged into the debate any further because it’s ultimately not my decision who Hibs sign and retain and I’ll be in my seat every second weekend supporting the players on the park regardless.

But its not about the money we were told eh.....:rolleyes:

[Thecat23]

Think the Whitty thing is went a bit OTT. For what it’s worth he’s not been anywhere near good enough for what we wanted from him. I feel he had a poor season overall and I think he’ll know this. Injuries haven’t helped either. Doesn’t mean I think he’s crap I feel we should have got more from him. Defensively he’s very poor and looked a bit better in midfield. Is he a starter in this Hibs side... No I think we can do better! Again this is my opinion, I think he’s a good squad player though.

He also told me that the wages Sunderland have offered were'nt that much more than we have offered but the second year of his contract could be near enough double in the Championship.

Don’t know if I believe Sunderland will be out of league 1 in their first season

Bit of a football wilderness gamble by McGeough here

[Heisenberg]

Genuinely can’t remember the last the utter bog roll that is the express broke a genuine transfer story. Literally just talk ***** all the time.

If it was Scott Burns i’d be inclined to believe it. He’s often spot on, or he used to be anyway.

He joined Hibs on a permanent contract when we were in the Championship with Rangers.

A move that worked out very well for him.

Agree hard league with some hard teams to come up against, they will be doing well to come up immediately.

[Ronniekirk]

Mallan had agreed personal terms before he went on holiday. As I posted a while ago, he told the board he wanted to return to Scotland Hibs got in touch Mallan was happy with the deal we offered it’s just signing the contract now. His missus wants to come back to Scotland as well.

So what is the hold up Has the new Barnsley Manager tried to get him to stay and they are holding up things deliberately at their end

Rotherham got relegated from the championship last season and there record was far worse than Sunderland yet managed to get back up albeit via playoffs. Genuinely don't see it being a problem for Sunderland, need to remember they have some decent youngsters. Not saying it will be a canter for them but they will go up in my opinion.

No idea, maybe club just want more than we are offering as someone posted. LD will get it sorted no doubt with or without Sushi!! 😁

Lifted from private board post earlier saying exactly that [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]

Don't you have to agree a fee with the club before you can duscuss personal terms with the player?

[bodhibs]

Some folk need to stay oot the sun 😎

[My_Wife_Camille]

In Football Manager and FIFA yes but in real life you just need permission from the club. Fees can be sorted out at any stage

You are the man Cat when it comes to snippets :greengrin

But how can you say 3 weeks ago it was pretty much a done deal then now add 'maybe club just want more than we are offering'

Apologies if you never actually said it was a done deal :greengrin

What I was told few weeks back was terms were agreed and he’s signing. I’ve no idea if Barnsley actually do want more money but like the Flo deal clubs sometimes try their luck to get more for a player. Flo was always coming back as he had told friends and family, from what I have been told same with Stevie. I wouldn’t read to much into it.

I think 2 in this week and one out if all goes to plan.

That’s exactly what was said this time last season when Sunderland were relegated from the Premier League.

We’re already a bit short, hope it’s a ‘fringe’ player.

Not got many fringe players as it stands, 3pm
The squad that took part yesterday is what we have for Europe

I’ll guess Ambrose.

[Souter96Mac]

I’ll guess Ambrose.

Murray? Off to Turkey maybe?

[Thecat23]

My thinking as well, no idea who it is though. Lennon I’m sure if true will have known and will have cover no doubt. Can’t see him letting anyone go without someone lined up right away.

[Billy Whizz]

I’ll guess Ambrose.

Wouldn’t have given him 90 mins yesterday if he was off

[BT58]

If it is Effe, are we entitled to a fee ??

[3pm]

Fair point.

[Zazu62]

Bartley maybe?

[HibbyKeith]

I’ll guess Ambrose.

hope not. we need to strengthen the team not weaken it further.

[Barney McGrew]

If it was Scott Burns i’d be inclined to believe it. He’s often spot on, or he used to be anyway.

He’s got some good sources at ER, and if he’s reporting it then it will be accurate.

FWIW, I’d expect Mallan, Horgan and a striker announced in the next seven days, and Simon Murray heading out on loan again.

[Ringothedog]

If it is Effe, are we entitled to a fee ??

Why wouldn’t we if he is under contract to us?

[Bob Box Fish]

Maybe Mcgeough unveiled at Sunderland tomorrow which puts it to bed once and for all? That’s still a man out.

[Billy Whizz]

Murray and Barts would be the obvious ones to possibly more on. Lennon moved him on in January, and didn’t play Bartley much towards the end of the season
However we’re not in a place to move on a forward at the moment

[Barney McGrew]

As soon as we bring in another striker he’ll be away, back to one of the Dundee clubs.

[Billy Whizz]

Think he will, but we need him for just now, only got a half fit Kamberi and Shaw for just now

Seemingly Stubbs in for Keatings, so possibly United

Dundee Utd fans didn't rate him though did they?

Dundee Utd fans didn't rate him though did they?

To be fair they didn't see much, given he was injured for most of last season.

The one out might probably be McGeouch being confirmed as a Sunderland player.

In terms of the two coming in, do you know who they are or is that being kept behind closed doors?

I think it’s someone who’s still with us or that’s how I took it anyway. Mallan has to be one but no idea who the other is yet.

[Diclonius]

I'm guessing Horgan will be our replacement for Barker.

[Big L]

So I’m told this afteroon Bill. I’ll know by tomorrow who it is.

Simon Murray I'm guessing, which I will be sorry to see if it is.

Tried to find some Preston fans opinions on Horgan. Seems to be a mixed reaction to him on their forum

[WhileTheChief..]

Give it a few days and the EEN will be running an “Efe Off” headline!

Lets nip this one in the bud straight away, it’s nothing more than one persons opinion unless we’ve all missed something??

Why would we let one of our genuine top players who is under contract go? Do folk just look for worst case scenarios to worry about?

The one out is way more likely to be someone who’s barely kicked a ball for us, not a first pick. Big Dave if he’s still kicking about for example?!

Really hope it is not Barts. He is worth his weight in gold in certain games. Fantastic squad player!

Danny maybe? Wasn't he shoogly peggish at the end of the season?
I sincerely hope it's not him or Bartley.

Wouldn't be surprised if it was tbh. He didn't feature a lot second half of last season after being pretty much a regular in our last championship season. Lennon playing Whittaker in his position too. I hope he stays as I think he has a lot to offer the club and is reliable and doesn't let us down when called upon although maybe he wants to leave to play more regularly

Horgan will be a loan & I think there's a good chance Marv could leave. I posted about 3 months ago that he, Marv, wants to stay but he needs to play & has a few options. If he goes though I would expect it to be later in the window.
