Summer transfer thread

[jacomo]

He’s right though; the amount of posts someone has made has absolutely nothing to do with the validity of their posts.

I think quite a few people on here forget that.


If you have a very low post count and then start posting unsubstantiated gossip you can expect to encounter some scepticism.

He means the guy with the low post count and that automatically means that the poster is a hearts fan and is getting a hard time.

I know the guy well and work beside his wife.

When Paul Hanlon was a season ticket holder he sat beside him and Derek Hanlon in the Famous Five.

He's still a season ticket holder and sits with another member of the Gorgie Greens.

So for him to claim he knows him and is a fat hertz whatever is simply a made up lie.

Are you at the wind up? We can still add 2 players to the euro squad after the deadline, players who will more than likely already be training and getting fit.

The idea of taking time to do a good job or to to achieve the right outcome is a dying art.

I would of course like us to have made more signings by now but as long as we make the right ones at the right prices I am prepared to wait.

Others naturally think differently

It’s a bit sad though the level of infighting and lack of respect we see on Hibs Net now though.

Nothing is obvious and I cannot see how you think Lennon is unhappy because Parker did the post match and we’ve only signed a couple of players.

I think most people (me included) appreciate that.

But Lennon has stated our first goal this season is to reach the group stages. The draw has been quite kind to us and we have a reasonable chance of getting through to the third round of qualifying as it stands. There could come a point that we’ll have waited to the point that we’ve waited too long and missed our chance in Europe.

Add to that, the European games are going to be the only real opportunity to get any new players up to speed for the league season starting as well.

I don’t think there is any need to panic at the moment. But given what we’ve lost since from last season against what we’re about to start this season with I can understand why some folk feel a bit nervous.

Don’t think Neil Lennon would agree about Europe. He’s been very clear in what he wants to do in that competition. There is no point in bursting a gut for 9 months to qualify then just treating it as something that’s just nice whilst you’re in it.

The draw has been kind so you try and take advantage of it. We won't win the tournament but the financial incentive for making the group stages is massive for our club.

We might be in a better place in terms of squad strength next season but draw tougher teams. We may not qualify at all - certainly it isn't going to be easier to qualify this season.

We shouldn't talk lightly about Europe like it's an opportunity we are guaranteed eery year.

LIAM HENDERSON is training with former club Hibernian as he weighs up his future amid interest from Serie A.
The 22-year-old, who joined Bari from Celtic in a bargain £115,000 deal in January, is back in Scotland during the Italian close-season.
Hibs boss Neil Lennon worked with Henderson during his time as Celtic manager and offered the gifted playmaker the use of their East Mains facilities as he maintains his fitness levels.

I think it’s somewhere in between Wilson and Blackpoolhibs has said it spot on already in this thread

We need to make sure our signings are of the quality that get us into Europe much more regularly. Therefore if it means they are not in in time for Europe it’s a price to pay this once. As long as they do come in!

At the same time we do have a good draw so an opportunity is there. Our current squad should be more than good enough for the first tie 👍

:agree:

Boyle being fit again and signing a keeper are for me the two most important things for this round. Boyle's speed and continuing our strong defence from last season should be more than enough to see this through

For the Greek team we will need more to stand a chance, but am sure we will see some new faces in the next week, giving them a couple of weeks to gel with those already here.

And is it as strong as last game of the season?

No where near imo.

We turned our okay squad into an excellent squad in February by bringing in 3 loan players. We have already brought one of them in on a permanent deal and stated that we are working to secure the other 2 permanently. However, due to circumstances beyond Hibs control it is going to be difficult to get these players back early in the window.

Otherwise we have lost another loanee who it has to be said missed most of the end of the season when we apparently had our best squad for years. We are even looking at getting him back on loan but that would always be much later in the window as most loans are.

Yes we lost Dylan and may well lose Super John. Efforts were made to keep Dylan but to no avail and the club are trying to play out the transfer saga of McGinn to our best advantage. It looks like Mallan is lined up and maybe a couple of others but we need to see what pans out with McGinn before the rest falls into place.

Indeed, we might surprise ourselves with the money we get for John and be able to aim a little higher for a replacement.

Frustrating? Absolutely, but with the players still at the club we should be able to negotiate the first European tie. No significant signings at this point should not be an adequate excuse.

Think a few folk should calm down on here.

We might be slower than other clubs in getting our business done, but we're getting the right quality and it's arriving in time for the competitive fixtures.

After tomorrow we'll have kept Kamberi, replaced McGeouch and Barker with Mallan and Horgan, expect to bring back Allan and will only need to replace Maclaren, who could yet be back. So we're looking close to the same squad that did well for us last year.

Only slight fly in the ointment is the probable sale of McGinn, but we knew that would happen.

I am 100% with you re: Europe. We’re in it so we have to give it our best shot.

I’m also relaxed about our recruitment. We’ve got a really good bunch of players. Yes the squad is a bit light but that’s not a concern at this time. I hope guys like Danny Swanson are busting a gut right now to prove themselves.

We’ve also got a great development team who have won trophies. Time for some of the kids to step up, no?

I’m sure we’ll strengthen the squad over the summer but we’ve also got transfer speculation re: SJM to deal with.

I wonder if the people fretting over a lack of new faces are the same folk who are also telling Celtc to stick their £1.5m offer? You can’t have it both ways - either you do quick business or you hold out for a better offer.

Signing mediocre players is of no interest to me. We seem to have lined up Mallan but maybe that deal is dependent on something else happening?

No need to panic just now.

Given how in and out of the team Bartley is, Scott Martin should be his replacement. Cheap, homegrown and hasn't let anyone down when given his chance previously.

That being said I'd be gutted at Bartley leaving. The big man just gets us. Can see him joining Stubbs at St Mirren though sadly.

Would disagree with that. Have a feeling Bartley might leave but if he does, it needs to be because we have an upgrade on him. I don’t think Scott Martin is an upgrade.

I've been wanting Hibs to sign Mallan for a year or so now. Think he's what we have been missing from midfield, the ability to chip in with goals.
3 quality signings so far Lenny, keep it up.

Good to see him coming in if he is what we were missing, but now the other 3 are missing ...so who replaces them ...?

This is what I thought would happen all along. We'll know all about Morgan from his many games against us. Celtic allow their young player to get good experience of playing in the premier and we get a great wee left winger for a year. Win win i'd say. Hope this gets done asap if we need to lose McGinn.

When he came on for Scotland against Mexico he looked to have some great ability on the ball. Close control, energy, drive. If what he showed in that brief 20 minutes I saw him, if that's his usual game, then yes, boys a player!

To be fair, I've only seen him in a couple of games on the tv for St Mirren in the championship plus a few clips but he is fast, skilful and a very good finisher. He was easily the standout player in their pivotal 2-0 win against Dundee United at xmas time. Goals here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZhBbf_60trs

I think, over the piece, we are doing more discerning business than them. I wouldn’t be too quick to poohoo all their acquisitions and I think Naismith is a case in point. He’ll be a reasonable asset for them but, as Souter96Mac says, his effect on their team will be limited and certainly not value for money.

I agree, I think he’ll make a decent contribution for them over the season when he’s fully fit.

Their better results towards the end of the season (beating the sheep and us) generally coincided with him doing all right and popping up with a goal.

Think they will sell Lafferty though. And he’s more important to them than Naismith will be.

All I know is both Hibs and Jamie’s representatives been chatting a lot past week or so and talks going well. I still think it’ll be a loan deal unless we sell Mcginn and use that to try buy him. Wages though could also be an issue.

I’ve said it before that although some of their signings are likely to be low budget guys that the sheer volume of the signings must have swollen their wage bill hugely - especially with Naismith returning. Levein said at the end of the season he’d be operating with a reduced budget this season. That doesn’t seem to stack up at all based on their signings. Surely a few will have to leave.

[Smartie]

No we really wouldn’t. I can’t beleive folk even say stuff like this.

Why not?

We were incredibly consistent in the second half of last season. Not 5 or 6 games, half a season. The keeper had a good second half of the season, the defence looked solid, we had a midfield that was a match for anyone's and strikers playing well and scoring goals.

I'm not normally that happy-clappy or doom and gloomy but that was as good a half season as I've ever seen us put together. We punched our weight with the big teams, won a derby (but also lost one) and consistently beat the wee teams. We were resolute, we dug in for results and often played very good football. There was pace out wide, good football through the middle.

I suppose the biggest reason why not is what other teams do. Celtic weren't as strong during the second half of last season as they have been - they were occasionally there for the taking. Sevco imploded every time they faced Celtic, Aberdeen weren't as good as they have been. Hearts played to their strengths - turned their hovel of a home ground into a fortress by ensuring no football could be played there and lumping it long, but were ultimately clearly just pish. Killie were good, but not quite good enough against the good teams after the split.

I can't believe folk won't dare to dream. It's not always going to be this good you know.

We will have lost Mcginn, Mcgeouch, Allan and Barker. Good chance Allan comes back and sounds as if MacLaren will be back.

To me that’s still a weaker team than the one that ended last season as it stands. We would need them to keep up that consistency for the whole season which I don’t think is achievable.

Also the issue that Rangers and Aberdeen finished ahead of us also never mind Celtic.

If any team were close to celtic in January and mounting a serious challenge, they would make big signings.

We are doing well and progressing in the right way, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

To me that’s still a weaker team than the one that ended last season as it stands. We would need them to keep up that consistency for the whole season which I don’t think is achievable.

Also the issue that Rangers and Aberdeen finished ahead of us also never mind Celtic.

If any team were close to celtic in January and mounting a serious challenge, they would make big signings.

We are doing well and progressing in the right way, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

I was referring to a hypothetical situation where we held onto McGinn, so he'd still be here.

McGeouch would be a big loss, no doubt. But Slivka played his part in some big performances - he is an established Internationalist and we are right to expect big things of him this year in Dylan's absence.

Allan may or may not rejoin, or possibly his role could be taken by Mallan. Swanson deputised for Allan brilliantly against Celtic, he might manage to contribute more next season.

Barker was hot and cold. On his day he was a superb and put in some good performances but missed a big chunk of the season and didn't always have the end product that his play deserved.

We only finished narrowly behind Rangers and Aberdeen in spite of being miles behind them at Christmas and having had a poor first half to the season with a squad that was much poorer than the one that finished the season. They will both be better this season though, I'm sure of it.

I'm sure you're right about Celtic. They did the bare minimum to get the job done, and would inevitably have stepped up their efforts if they had been required to.

A stronger team than the start of last season No?

[Stevie Reid]

Let's not forget how good our manager is too.

Oli seems to have spentd the summer in the gym. Good on him. High hopes for the lad. Ryan too. Fab scoring record.

[SHODAN]

Who's next?

[Heisenberg]

Not been any rumours about Horgan today, doesnt look like it’s happening just now.

[J-C]

Only a joke squire

Stick a smiley up next time 😁

[adhibs]

I feel that he has pretty poor composure, his movement and instinctive finishes are first class but when he has time to think he tends to mess up

Id been a bit unconvinced of him untill i read a stat, probably on here. That he had 18 shots during his spell with us, 11 on target, 9 goals.

[SChibs]

Hanlon testimonial page just tweeted 'doo doo doo malonga'

I really doubt he's signing but it could mean he could make a wee appearance on Sunday? Either that or they have tweeted it to wind folk up or for no reason at all.

Ignore my spraffing they were posting a few words from Dom about Paul Hanlon.

[matty_f]

Who's next?

Horgan.

[alihibs1]

Horgan.Today, tomorrow,next week?

Think Alex Neil wants to see how Horgan does in their pre season games.
I don't think he will impress him enough and he could well be firing in our direction in 10 days time (not ITK)

Does anybody know what time the deadline for transfers for the europa league has it passed

From Daily Record.

Midnight tonight (Friday, July 6) is the UEFA deadline for registering players for the first qualifying round - and both legs of the tie.
However, there is a fallback for clubs. Despite tonight's deadline, all sides competing in the first qualifying round are allowed to make a further TWO signings - known as wildcards - up until the day before the game.

What’s the point of any deadline then?

[danhibees1875]

So they only have to process a maximum of 2 players per team on the final day. :dunno:

Alex Neil has already had half a season to look at him so can’t see that being true

[Brightside]

I think Matty has already said but Horgan should be next then it should be SJM out and 2 others in.......and hopefully McLaren in there too. :greengrin

So teams can’t do a Levein/Cathro and sign 15 players immediately before the tie

[danhibees1875]

But that's not what they've done, they got them in early so they're all eligible for the euro games.

[CMurdoch]

Think he was being diplomatic rather than saying he was crap and would be happy drive him to Easter Road.
They have 6 pre season friendlies in the next 3 weeks but could see him joining us on Thursday.

I think the real question is whether Scotty Allan and Stevie Mallan are close enough in name for us to take over the Kolo/Yaya Toure chant.

The perfect plan from the Yams. Who is going to break the news to Levein that there was a major flaw in the plan as step 1 was - Qualify.

[Greenworld]

Looking like a deal is close for j mcginn going to celtic you wonder how the negotiations finally went.
1.5 ...eh naw
2 million.. beat it
2.5 that's the final offer...your getting warm
3 million and allan ...why didn't you start at that
Is that a deal yes but with 25% sell on.. [emoji38]

What makes you say a deal is close?

[Nicho87]

2 million plus Allan and hayes/Christie on loan plus 20% sell on I could accept.

Swap Hayes/Christie for Morgan and its a done deal.

[greenginger]

I would not want all the extras in a sell-on clause, he might do a Scott Brown and be there the rest of his career.

Better getting extras after say 100 games and/or a number of caps.

I’m with you on this
If he goes south and does well, sell on clause could be as big as the fee
