Bartley would be a cracking signing for him.

Exactly the player you would want and need when you're in a relegation scrap.

I really don't want to lose Bartley.

Or a loan fee

They just paid out 75 grand for a player so wouldn't rule it out if it helps finance brining in one of our targets
But agree starts to leave us light and would be happy If he stays But he wont get enough game time

Maybe a swap deal for Bartley?

Trade Marvin Bartley for potentially £1 million ?

Why should we do that, when St Mirren obviously want him

Should keep Bartley just now. Dylan and possibly SJM away, could be a bit light in this area
Anyway, a lot of Hibs fans identify with big Marv, he’s our sort of player!

I think he signed a new contract last week at st.mirren

[J-C]

As much as I like Bartley, our team is changing and the players being mentioned are more dynamic and attacking. Lennon wants to be more expansive and although Bartley is a good ball winning DM, he is limited in his style and therefore his game time may be restricted to just a few starts and a few off the bench.

Need options. Prefer Marv as a defensive mid to Whitty. Could be crucial in Greece if we make it.

Marvin should be kept purely for derby games, genuinely think he is the reason we have done well in them lately

[Billy Whizz]

[Jim44]

I never considered that as a possibility. Has he expressed displeasure at his limited role with us! If he has a mind to move on then open the door and let him go. I always considered him a utility player and that he was happy with his lot.

[we are hibs]

I got the impression marv was less than impressed with having to face the media after the last derby with Lennon missing.

[brog]

He loves Hibs & Edinburgh but he sees his game time as continually reducing. Because of that he's looking at other options.

[hfc rd]

Totally agree. We badly missed his presence in the last derby which cost us 2nd place. The yams just bullied us all night that evening and we couldn’t cope with them physically. Marvin would have made a big difference that night. He is a perfect player to have in games that you know are going to be a battle. Not many players better in the league at the job he does.

[B.H.F.C]

Hard to see Marv getting back to being a regular if we want to develop as a team and wouldn’t be surprised if he knows that.

I don’t think the number of games where he will be required in justify keeping him. I like him but, especially if we are going with a back three the majority of the time, there just isn’t a place for him IMO.

Should McGinn go we’ll desperately need someone in midfield with a bit of dig,it’s not all about going forward.

[B.H.F.C]

Should McGinn go we’ll desperately need someone in midfield with a bit of dig,it’s not all about going forward.

If McGinn goes he’ll be replaced though. Bartley wasn’t a regular when we turned in to a really good team in the second half of last season. If he left and Bartley became a regular again, we’d have went backwards.

Not bashing Marv though. As I said in my last post, I just think the team has moved on and don’t see a place for him in it. He won’t want to stick around to start 6 or 7 games next year.

[snooky]

I'm totally perplexed by the notion that we've "moved on".
Apart from signing Flo and possibly Mullan, from the squad we've lost Dylan, Barker and Jamie MacL, looks odds on we're losing SJM, (& now the suggestion is possibly Bartley too?).
No matter which way I read that, it still spells out that currently we have moved backwards from last season ...... a lot.

I'll go against the grain and consensus and say we need better than Bartley for this league and I think Lennon sees that (for top 3/4). Great to have in the dressing room but for me he slows the game down too much and is clumsy against the better sides in the league, getting caught out too often. I wouldn't be too bothered if he went from a footballing point of view - but he is certainly a lad who played his part in galvanising the team/squad. We can do better in the midfield area however. That midfield area needs to contribute more goals - always a problem at Hibs over the last decade.

[K-Zazu]

Expect from the last one when he didn’t play for some strange reason. Should be the first name on the teamsheet when we play them away at Gorgie farm

[Stevie Reid]

Unless he is desperate to leave, which I'd be surprised at, I'd definitely keep Marvin. Very useful squad player at the very least. Can't imagine him not being utilised to shut games down when we're winning, or away at Tynie.

Big character to have around the place as well.

[keep the faith]

I got the impression marv was less than impressed with having to face the media after the last derby with Lennon missing.

No wonder. Lennon left him high and dry there.

[Unseen work]

It’s as if Lennon had made his mind up on Bartley when he subbed him at half time against Aberdeen in the 4-1 game.

Rarely featured since then

[ElginHibbie]

He did play most of the cup game which we lost there though, that's not a dig at Marv he's not to blame for that result, but think we need a different sort of a player to be able to start beating them in Gorgie.

But say we do guarantee to start Marv away against Hearts and some other matches where we maybe don't expect to dominate, is he going to want to stay around for those handful of a games a season? For where we want to be not the sort of player we need most weeks sadly

Exactly. There will be new players coming in. Neil Lennon isn't in it not to at least maintain what we did last season. Until we know what's happening with mcgeoch and mcginn we can't move for certain players. I really don't know why folk are getting so wound up. You don't win anything on the first couple of days in July. So far it seems nobody is injured and boyle looks well on the way back. Lennon can't control the situation with players going so let's just wait and see what happens. Nobody inside er is stressed about it but on social media there are loads of false crisis. The weather's lovely so let's just enjoy it and what will be will be.

[mjhibby]

I'm sure everybody at er is fully aware of this. Will will find out if and when we receive a decent offer for sjm. I'm certainly not worried about it.

I believe BHFC wasn't referring to the composition of our squad but rather to our style of play. In that I agree with him. We now move the ball forward much more quickly & try to attack at pace. In the 1st half of last season our away record was better than our home record. NL believed this was because we lacked the quality & pace to beat teams who sat in against us. The winter signings helped considerably but so did the change of style. The home performances against Dons, Celtc & Yams were as good as anything since days of golden generation or even the Tornadoes. We won 7 consecutive home games for 1st time in over 40 years & scored 12 goals in our last 3 games against top 5 clubs. I love Marv but he's not suited to that style of play. He knows that's now NL's preferred style of play hence why he's considering his options & why all the players we're linked with currently are creative. Hope you're less perplexed now. :wink:

[Mainstandman]

152 pages one player signed and a lack of dubious rumours. I'm off the airport so will see who I can spot, or make up.

[JimBHibees]

Except of course he was in his bed with the flu.

[Greenworld]

It's the kind of rebuilding job you should not have to do on the back of a good season.
It's certainly a concern that more might leave.. sjm..Effe was rumoured to be going abroad not heard much more on that..big marv...and our goalie linked with move back to his homeland..
I can understand why lennon thought about moving on its some task but if he pulls this rebuild off then he will have put himself into the highly sought after list of managers.

Said it to my mates at the pub on the weekend there that if Maclaren can't happen then we should at least ask the question about Cummings. He's in a sticky situation at Forest and Rangers wasn't a resounding success for him so I can't see much in the way of options on the table that lets him play every week. I don't think it'll happen as I don't particularly believe Lennon and him were a perfect fit but you never know.

You make very good points and I agree with you however, sometimes a team needs to get down and dirty so I think it's essential we have a squad that can play both ways. (Moving on and otherwise).

I guess the fact he's not really had much of an impact at Forest or the Rangers means a lot of folk would question whether he's actually good enough for the Scottish top flight. Like you, I don't get the impression Lennon would see him as the solution, but in saying that Lennon has helped significantly improve their game of most players under his charge. Jason played by far his best football with Hibs, having been jettisoned by Hearts as a youngster so I guess he might do so again, but my gut feeling he's just not quite the right type of striker for the team we're trying to build.

The thing about Jason was that he started out very raw but was getting noticeably better ever year he was with us.

I don't know how he's developed over the past year but whilst he might have not played as much football as he'd have liked, he has been training with a better quality of player (at Forest anyway) and may be better than when he left.

I thought he played well against us in the last game of the season.

And when I watched the "Time for Heroes" DVD I thought he was the star. His charisma shone through the whole thing (as it did throughout his spell with us) and I'd love to see him come back.

Not sure it will be financially feasible for a while though, not for a club that wants to live within its means.

[Oscar T Grouch]

But he wouldn't have signed a 6 year contract (Oct 2017) with us or the Dons that made him one of the highest earners in Scotland. Celtic have been very smart by getting him to sign that, he is actually worth the £25m quoted because of that contract, just to buy it out would be a fairly large sum of money. This is the difference between SJM and Stuart Armstrong, is McGinn a better player? Yeah probably. So why is SA worth more than SJM? Because the year left on SA contract is worth a lot more than the year left on SJMs contract.

Not so sure that Forest did offer a higher standard of player than Hibs? Certainly in terms of coaching, I would imagine that Lennon and his team matched what was on offer from Warburton and his bunch.

I would love to Cummings back and could see him and Kamberi forming a decent partnership. Cummings has a goalscorers instinct and that goes a long way. Whether he has the footballing savvy to improve the other aspects of his game is debateable, but Hibs would be a good place for him to find out. His career is at a crossroads, big decisions for him.

Agree with both of you. But I think Jason would be a great addition alongside Kamberi, not too dissimilar to Maclaren and I would argue maybe a bit more well rounded than he is (I love Maclaren btw that's not a dig). We know he can do it against this level of opposition because his record against Hearts, Aberdeen, Rangers etc in cups/big games was great. I have no doubts he would be able to pick up where he left off with us. I think sadly it's me living on fantasy island in regards to hoping it would happen.

Nor would have won many trophies playing for Hibs or Aberdeen or played in the champions league. Just facts that drive up his value having been at Celtc. Doesn’t make him any better a player but just factors that reflect his market value

I remember reading somewhere that John McGinn actually has more Scotland caps than Stuart Armstrong in the last 2 or 3 years and as much as I do really rate SA I know who I'd rather sign for a team. If Celtic sell SA for £7.5m and get McGinn for the 3 or so million mark then they've done fantastic business and no doubt after another 3 or so years they'll move him on for similar money and the cycle starts again.

Unfortunately, we're dining at the wrong table and will have to accept that we're not in the position to do the deals Celtic are.

I’d definitely take Jason back but can see him going out on loan down south to try and make a name for himself in those leagues.

I'm a bit gutted players like Allan & Mallan aren't already signed with the rumors around them but not worried just yet, Although not ideal and even Lennon would have wanted his targets in before Europe kicked off but delays happen when your going for a more quality type of player unlike the Yams across the road bringing in 10 new players unwanted anywhere else.

Signing players is sooo passe don't you think? It's the sort of things the yams do frequently.

This. I want the signings now but the reality is we're not shopping in the bargain bin of free agents like that lot across the road. The standard of players we're looking at are players that their clubs will deem to have some level of value. Whether that's in a transfer fee or as a makeweight in another deal. We're not trying to get people unwanted by their club to the point they'll get their contract paid up and told to jog on so patience is key to make sure we get the right deals done.

Pretty glowing report, eh?

[superfurryhibby]

This. I want the signings now but the reality is we're not shopping in the bargain bin of free agents like that lot across the road. The standard of players we're looking at are players that their clubs will deem to have some level of value. Whether that's in a transfer fee or as a makeweight in another deal. We're not trying to get people unwanted by their club to the point they'll get their contract paid up and told to jog on so patience is key to make sure we get the right deals done.

This is what it’s all about. Hibs will be doing all they can to bring in the best players our budgets allow for. Football has so many variables and many deals require protracted negotiation, especially when you are competing against other sides, some with more money than you.

We are a well run club with some really good people involved in doing the business. In the ideal world it would all fall into place. We have time and enough quality to take care of our first opponents, I’m fully confident that there will be players in this week. If not, cest la vie.

[Hibbyradge]

Wasn't Kamberi signing and scoring for Hibs on the same day?

I think Kamberi signed on 31 January after a trial period.

His first game was in our win at Ibrox on 3 Feb. He scored.

I really have no idea what to expect with Bogdan. His appearances for Liverpool weren't great and don't fill me with confidence but I know when at Bolton (under Lennon I think) he was very highly thought of. Not the priority signing we all wanted to see but if Lennon thinks we need a better keeper than Laidlaw until Rocky's back then so be it.

Just spoke to John McGinlays son who is a massive Bolton fan for obvious reasons. He said he is a class keeper and would have taken him back at Bolton in a heartbeat. So for a diehard Bolton fan Bogdan is class

I personally think this is a myth. Look at Wigan last season, they played some of the best football in England, mainly all on the floor and with similar style players to Dylan.

Dylan can deal with physical players, his strength is the way he moves the ball and changes the tempo. Jack Ross obviously likes his team to play the way that suits Dylan too.

Rogers praises both for coming back to training fit and committed. He says that there are always opportunities for a player to force their way into his plans, but also says that they need to ask themselves what they see as their future if he can’t give them game time. He says he judges a player on their effort and that they are both good players.

It might only be 2 signings we have made so far but im buzzing with the quality of players that Neil Lennon is bringing in Kamberi a player who reminds me of a young Steven Fletcher on a 3 year deal and Bogdan on loan for the year, a goalie who by all accounts did well at Bolton earned a move to Liverpool has made 6 Liverpool appearances and has 20 Hungry caps, it would have been more if he didn't pick up a knee ligament injury while on loan at Wigan in Nov 2016. We get a player that is back to full fitness of this calibre.

Meanwhile over the road webuyanyplayer.com 10 players have been signed the only one I know anything about didn't even get a game for a poor Partick Thistle team in a relegation play off, I know who's position I would rather be in going into this campaign

Putting the green tinted specs to one side, I'd say Naismith is a decent signing for a team with legitimate ambitions to compete for a spot in the top six with Kilmarnock, Motherwell etc.

Don't think he's up to the standard needed by us, Aberdeen or Sevco to compete for second however.

[Big_Franck]

Happy enough for the saviles to sign Naismith. He's brutal and they'll be forking out thousands for him every week. Couldn't lace Kamberi's boots.

[Kato]

Naismith didn't score against us. Or am I going mad?

Via a free kick that never was.

[Aldo]

Where on earth are they getting all the cash??? Unbelievable not that I rate Naismith much but how can they afford him on top of 12 other signings??

£1 million pitch, £15 million stand that isn’t finished, nursery to finish (might be now) and 14 or so players added to wage bill.

Something will have to give and I think it’ll be Laugherty. If Souttar was fit him too

Naismith was pish in two derbies against us and his goal game from woeful defending on our part.

The other 12 look garbage to be fair. I doubt they have spent much on them.

So bogdan in today, will it be a signing a day? Mallan next?

[MrRobot]

I’d expect Laidlaw to leave. Being brutally honest, he isn’t good enough to be goalkeeper for Hibs. I want 2 keepers competing for the gloves and not just a back up.

Perhaps Dabrowski to go out in loan?

[CapitalGreen]

save our children sponsorship. Who’s putting the cash up, and how much

Is it out of the question that Rocky could be away?

Hadn’t really occurred to me but a team in Israel were linked with him earlier in the summer.

Would be quite something to do a ‘Leicester’.
One day.....

(Would still be 5th page in from the back of the Daily Record though).






This is my favourite part.

Can't see him going back there when he's talked about how much his family love it here since they moved. Hope he stays anyway!

[dchibs]

Naismith is an auld fud

Big Bart should have lamped him after the derby at ER a wee fud that he is.

His wife tweeted about it being great to be HOME in Edinburgh earlier. I get the impression they're very settled here and would be amazed if Rocky was leaving so soon

[bingo70]

He’s had a child since he moved here though has he not?

Might influence his thinking if he or his wife (can she stay if he goes?) wants to get back to his family back home.

I remember there being the same discussion in a previous transfer window, can’t remember if it was last summer or January but I’m certain there’s no cause for concern.

Is he doing any work for Irish tele or radio during the World Cup?

Certainly not doing the telly side of things in Ireland. Don’t think he’s on the radio..

Sure bogdan said Lennon was the one who phoned him for the move, so he's certainly making things happen and clearly getting who he wants

Think he’s been about. Has been quite quiet but there isn’t really much to say at the moment. Did leave Linlithgow without speaking to the press the other day.

[ElginHibbie]

Sky reporting we've rejected a bid from Celtic for McGinn...

[Wheat Hound]

And so it begins....

[3pm]

Buckle up, here goes!

[Stuart93]

Hopefully shows them we're not willing to **** about with any ***** bids

[bingo70]

And so it begins....

Good, want this wrapped up sooner rather than later, no point getting the best price for him on the last day of the window with no time to spend it.

I’ll be surprise if Mcginn going to them doesn’t result in a player coming to us from them as well so sooner this deal can be done the better.

Busy Man more like He will be as keen is us to get deals over the line But he is aware of the need to get Quality and be patient So maybe he doesn't want drawn on Transfer Activity as Jack Ross will be hanging on his every word

They also said he is of interest of EPL teams, so if that is true hopefully one comes in quickly and we can start the bidding war :greengrin

[Jim44]

The fact it’s started probably means they’ll eventually get their man. I hope a few English clubs give them a bit of competition and push their price up.

Agree lets get it sorted pronto so both clubs can move on. Last thing we need is this dragging on for weeks.

If Celtc offer a sensible deal it will, if they don’t it won’t.

[Stuart93]

Aye but they won't want anymore negative publicity with us rejecting anymore bids

[JimBHibees]

Chances are they won't.

[bingo70]

Yeah, they won’t want to be seen to be missing out on their targets for a relatively small amount of money considering the income they’ve had in recent years.

He’ll be at Celtic by the end of the week imo.

[madhatter]

Wouldn't be surprised if all this is for the media and to appease some Hibs fans. Save face as it were. If Hibs were seen to accept the first bid then people would go mental!!!

I'd imagine some discussions will be going on behind the scenes and the likelihood being closer to an actual deal.

[B.H.F.C]

If Celtic want him, they’ll get him.

I’d be gutted to see him go there but if we can get Allan back it would make me feel a bit better.

[bingo70]

If Celtc offer a sensible deal it will, if they don’t it won’t.

They’ll know roughly what we’re after before bidding so will be in the same ball park.

Scott Allan’s value will undoubtably be a huge part of the negotiations and will take time but that’ll play a major part imo.

[B.H.F.C]

The Sun reporting it as 1.5m hahahaha!

I can imagine that is relatively accurate and it’s an absolute insult given what they just took in for Armstrong.

[Gmack7]

so mcginn. dylan and possibly 1 more potentially out. Allan and Christie possibly coming the other way?

[Thecat23]

McGinn gone by end of the week and Allan In is what I’m going for.

[SteveHFC]

McGinn gone by end of the week and Allan In is what I’m going for.

That's still nowhere near enough.

[SteveHFC]

There’s still hope :hyper

[hfc rd]

Nowhere near enough unless they included Griffiths too 😁

[SHODAN]

3M + Allan mininum or **** off.

They've raked it in the past few seasons, they have the money.

[B.H.F.C]

What if it’s that plus Allan?

Still too low.

[Nicho87]

1.5 they are having a laugh

[madhatter]

McGinn gone by end of the week and Allan In is what I’m going for.

Needs to be 3million (minimum) + Allan for me. Anything less and I will be very disappointed.

They cannot say Allan is worth much as they've never played him and he hasn't been capped.

We need the £££ almost more than Allan. If 33% is going to St Mirren and if we need to potentially get 2 centre mids of equal talent to McGinn and McGeouch...we need the money.
