Summer transfer thread

[Greenworld]

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.Good point better get you at the negotiations [emoji38][emoji38]

I’m reading that Rangers have 1st dibs on any Liverpool players that Klopp wants to loan to Scotland. On the other hand it may deter other clubs, like Man City to loan them players as well!

They can sign 2 players 24 hrs before the tie, the same as Europa league I presume, also I doubt they'd be desperate to get him in just for that, they should still win that tie comfortably.

They will want to get it wrapped up before interest mounts, try to conclude the deal before they have solid competition to sign him. I think you are correct, they won't be concerned about the ties for them. The ties for us are different though, we need to know who we will have in terms of players. We cannot underestimate Runavik.

They've just taken in £7m for Armstrong and are looking at a huge figure for Tierney. I don't think their fans will accept them not spending that money to get the players in. I hope Hibs don't jump too early because I'm pretty sure Celtic have to get the deal done too.

John will know his time at Hibs is coming to an end and he'll be looking at the best club and deal for himself. Celtic may only be one of his options, if a good decent club down south come in with a reasonable bid, he may decide to go there but as of yet I don't think anyone other than Celtic have made a bid yet, the rest are all rumours.

One thing I find odd on here is how obsessed people are with the money Hibs receive in transfers.
Now I understand there's a connection between that and players we get in but the latter is far, far more important.

Let's say Celtic did get away with £2 million + Allan.
Objectively - yes, that's a steal and bordering on robbery.

But we'd get Allan and, regardless of what he's worth on the open market as a football player, his worth to us is huge.
We pretty much know what we're going to get - very probably the best creative attacking midfielder in the league outside of Celtic.
More than that a player who makes *our* team tick.

I'm not saying we can't get Allan and sell McGinn elsewhere for more money and I certainly don't wan't to sell to Celtic.
But I'd probably rather have Scott Allan than an extra million in the bank because turning that into performance on the pitch is a risk.

[bingo70]

Absolute guesswork but I think one of the stumbling blocks will be the sell on % that St Mirren are due.

Imo hibs will likely want to pass that responsibility over to Celtic to pay who will then probably try to negotiate a lower fee now and a % of any future transfer fee.

It's not just 2 - 3 million but a likely sell on clause that could easily double that if he kicks on like we all suspect he might.

I’ve seen this suggested a few times, why would it matter who’s responsibility it is to pay St Mirren? If it’s us, we need to pay them whatever the percentage is. If it’s Celtic and they need to pay them then they would just take it off what they give us for McGinn?

I doubt John McGinns impact on the pitch would be worth anywhere near that. We won’t be that much worse a team if we replace him with Allan. Different type of team maybe, but not that much worse IMO. McGinn would have to single handedly win us a cup or drag us up to 2nd, into the Europa groups etc for you to argue he’d been worth that over a season. Unless he’s improved massively over the summer that won’t happen.

Unless he’s improved massively over the summer that won’t happen.

Without playing Whittaker or Bartley, our midfield would be verging on incapable of regaining possession. Not a tackle in any of them. Replacing McGinn with Allan will have an impact. We will be a worse team simply because we'd need some muscle in the middle of the park. Allan, Mallan and Slivka wouldn't work for me. Puts a lot of pressure on Slivka to defend. Even he hasn't shown he is solid in the tackle...

It's more than the quality of the player, it's also the balance of the team. McGeouch and McGinn sat quite deep to create and were in good positions to defend from. Allan and Mallan at the very least will be much more advanced. Gaping holes in the middle of your team aren't great.

[calumhibee1]

I would argue that McGinn is the first name on the teamsheet and the Hibs team is built around him. Yes there are many components to Hibs style of play but he is the driving force and our MVP.

I don’t disagree with that at all, but we’ve got so many other good players who contribute so much. When you consider just how well we’d need to do to earn £2-3m I think you’d be looking at valuing his contribution to a £3m windfall at no more than about £500k say. The team getting us to a point where we earn £3m would mean that the starting 11 each on average earn us around £270k. Even if you valued McGinns contribution as double anyone else’s that’s still only £500k.

What if Allan gets injured? Allan is not worth a million so I'd take the money if we had good players lined up. Allan is a brilliant player but held to ransom by Celtic because they have a player we want...how much they pay us for Allan? If they are valuing him as more than that now I'd tell them to get lost. No matter how much we want Allan.

He is right though - £5m for what will either be A) another Scott Brown or B) a player who will go for mega bucks to the EPL if he does well at Celtic, is still a bargain. They could try wait until January, but unfortunately for them there are clubs down south this window who will happily meet our valuation. No need for us to sell him cheap - £3m, 10% sell-on clause and Scott Allan should be our minimum.

You never know. Perhaps if you say your prayers, take your vitamins, and drink your milk...

Yeah but Hibs also scoffed at the talk of Cummings fee only being £500k and that proved to be the case in the accounts.

I didn’t see that in the accounts.

Crawford is an attacking midfielder?

[brog]

If we think that an opposing chairman may something to appease fans it’d be blinkered to think that ours wouldn’t.

It's usually pretty difficult to accurately identify an individual transfer in the accounts. All incomings are grouped together & may be netted off against outgoings. A full fee may also not be paid, or appear in the accounts in one year.

[BoomtownHibees]

Thought he was a robust CM?

Pretty much the exact opposite

[Eyrie]

that ain't going to happen - they wouldn't have to pay up his contract if he did that...

I think that's the fairest way to set a fee for Allan. Although he's valuable to us, the lack of any interest from elsewhere (even Jack Ross) means that Celtc don't have a strong negotiating position. They could be left paying Allan's wage for another year.

So I think what will happen is that the fee will cover Allan's pay off. Let's say he's on £6k per week and we'll pay him £3.5k, so he'd be down £2.5k per week. We pay a fee of £125k which then covers the cost to Celtc of paying the shortfall. They're better off because they've saved his wage, we're better off because we've got Allan and Allan's better off because he'll be playing regularly at the one club where he's been a success.

It would also be a reasonable value to use when considering any payment due to St Mirren for McGinn. Very difficult for them to argue that Allan should be valued at £500k when there is no other interest.

[The Leith Dutch]

What if Allan gets injured? Allan is not worth a million so I'd take the money if we had good players lined up. Allan is a brilliant player but held to ransom by Celtic because they have a player we want...how much they pay us for Allan? If they are valuing him as more than that now I'd tell them to get lost. No matter how much we want Allan.

Bit in bold is a daft thing to say. Any player could get injured.
By that logic we may as well only buy cheap players who are all equally ****ing beige so that there's no critical injury that can break the team.

Only point I'm making is we could sell McGinn for 5 million but if we fail to get the right players in then it's nuts.

Not saying we should be "held to ransom".....simply making the point that having slightly more money in the bank is pointless if we don't have players that deliver on the park. Allan isn't worth a million on the open market - you're bang on - but I stand by what I said - I'd prefer to have him than a million more for McGinn and gambling on another main playmaker. Only my opinion of course ;)

[hibbysam]

The deal is between Hibs and St Mirren. A third - if thats the right figure - of SJMs sale value from Hibs has to go to St Mirren. Its our issue to deal with.

Doesn’t mean that’s what will happen however. If Celtic really want SJM then it’s a decent negotiating position for Hibs.

Thanks for the update. Do you know if Maclaren will be back in time for the Runavík tie? I’m sure an extra player can be registered as a late deadline 24 hours before. What about other players like Horgan & Barker? Allan will probably depend on the SJM deal.

When we signed Marciano it was apparently down to Lennons relationship with his agent who had given him a few players to sign when he was at Celtic.

If we’re looking for a loan as a makeweight in a swap for Mcginn though then he would fit the bill perfectly as a replacement for Mcgeouch.

Tbf I’m basing that on his pedigree, position and what I can take from
Wikipedia, I don’t actually know much about him.

I do think that guy being his agent could only help us though.

[Smartie]

Does he not come to watch us reasonably often?

I remember him being at a game before and being a bit surprised by it.

[Heisenberg]

Hibs’ move for Preston North End’s Daryl Horgan is close to being finalised according to assistant boss Garry Parker.

The Irish winger has been linked with a move to Easter Road for a wee while now and Parker confirmed it’s not far off speaking to the press after Paul Hanlon’s testimonial earlier today.

Hibs are confident they can get the 25-year-old in before the Europa League signing deadline on Thursday.

Latest from the DR. Not sure what deadline they are on about though? The games on Thursday, so is there another deadline until then to get extra players in?

Rod Petrie has previously dismissed this percentage. Said it's "nowhere near" that amount or words to that effect anyway.

The quote from GP was more about "hoping" to get something done. Nothing to suggest that anything was actually agreed and set to be completed. Typical DR speculation based on very little evidence, IMO.

[Heisenberg]

I don’t really know where the DR got that from now...the EEN has actually quoted Parker as saying he doesn’t know where we are with a move for Horgan but we have shown an interest and will see how it develops over the next few days. Hardly the “close to being finalised” that they went with.

Can’t blame Scotty for having confidence in himself if he’s been told he may get a chance, but I’d be stunned if he got into their team ahead of Rogic, McGregor, Sinclair, Forrest.. even Christie seems more highly rated by Rodgers.

Sorry if this has already been answered but does Horgan play on the left?

Think that is one thing we need more consistently, the ability to play a wide player in front of both the LB and RB. Gray and Stevenson's crossing can leave a lot to be desired and this would take some pressure off them.

If we are not playing 3 at the back, we always seem to play an awkward diamond or 3 in the middle with Boyle wide right and then just a gaping hole on the left unless someone drifts out that way. We'd create much more if we stretched the pitch wider with 2 wide players with pace.

Hoping we get a left winger in, Horgan or otherwise. If we aren't playing wingbacks, Boyle out wide right and nobody on the left always looks strange for me. Even for the sake of having someone on the left side to retrieve the ball in situations of over hit crosses from the right...

Kamberi was the same.

Very highly rated at one point. Sure he's about 6'4

He scored a barrel load in Italian youth football but hasn’t managed the same form once in the senior teams. I think his goals in the U20s were mostly in the lower eschelons of Italian football. Very highly rated at youth level.

Quick question: Aberdeen and possibly even Hearts are playing with a bigger budget than us this summer and yet has either team signed anyone that you'd want at Hibs?

Wouldn’t say no to Naismith if I’m being honest

Olly Lee sounds like he might be handy.

[mayo hibee]

It's been relatively quiet on the rumour front the last couple of days. Is it safe to say at this stage that there will be no ins our outs this side of the first leg against Runavik or might there be any last minute transfers lined up before the pre-match deadline?

[davhibby]

I would, what did he do over the second half of last season that stood out for you?

I think you'll be safe if you say it.

Go for it. Go crazy. :greengrin

With you on that one

Unfortunately scored the winning goal in the last Edinburgh Derby....that kinda stands out to me.

I don't know if I'm ready yet... :greengrin

[CapitalGreen]

Why does it need to be instead of someone? We need a decent squad to compete on all fronts and at present we are severely lacking strength in depth in attacking areas.

[Greenworld]

Wish celtic would just get on with signing John mcginn then we can get real rumours of players coming in.

Good header, but he did little else in that game or any other game I saw to justify his wages. Not like he was scoring every week either. Wouldn't get in our team as it is right now and certainly wouldn't have been near it last season

Bit of an expensive back up player.

Probably, but the question was simply 'has either team signed anyone that you'd want at Hibs?'

4 in 14 isn't fantastic by any stretch, goal every 4 and a bit games. The highlights I saw though usually always saw him involved and bringing others into the game.

I just feel he came in and was a bit rusty having not played for so long and with a full preseason it'll unfortunately do him the world of good. Think Hearts will be a bit strong in their starting 11 also,which will benefit him. Think folk also forget he's only 31. Time will tell and I of course hope he goes on to have a shocking season, but I would of gladly had him alongside Kamberi for this coming season.

I’m also a wee bit concerned that there appears to be little interest from English clubs.

[The_Horde]

In that case then my answer is no. I'd rather hibs spent the same money on somebody we can develop and sell on in the future. Not someone who's legs will be gone in 6 months.

Been a strange close season. Hardly anything about us in the press and basically no inside info whatsoever.

Whilst frustrating in some way, I've been impressed with how we've quietly gone about our business and flown under the radar so far.

We are just not used to it that's all, for years we gorged on an unhealthy diet of sub-par journeymen arriving regularly, predominantly towards the end of the window because we'd missed out on top targets and hit the panic button. That policy wasn't exactly successful.

I'm happy to remain patient and I think our squad will look a lot better by the end of July.

The way it should be.

I agree 100% just feels a bit strange. We aren't even getting any crap rumours!

If the original low Celtic bid was designed to flush out competitors and there are none that would be a concern as no real incentive for Celtic to increase offer by much
But according to some posters he only wants to go to Celtic So if that's true then they don't need to increase offer at at all
We get some money and Allan

Depends if Rodgers is desperate to bring him in this window But if not he can wait and get him on a pre contract Would think Allan is more important to us than McGinn to them this Season
But will see how this one plays out

Meanwhile, Ali Crawford heads off to Doncaster Rovers.

It's possible McGinn has stated he wants to go to Celtic, that would explain the lack of offers from other clubs who might have been interested it also allows Celtic to make ****ty offers and ensble them to drag it out, knowing that McGinn's going nowhere other than Celtic. The upshot if true is that we're playing with a weak hand.

He was playing in a hoofball side on a tattie field with pish midfielders.

Naismith wasn't brilliant last year, but I think he could still be a very good player with the right people around him.

It all depends on what they're paying him. If they've got a decent deal, he's a good player.

If they've really pushed the boat out then he's not.

I'd have been happy to see him at ER - at the right price.

If he wants to go to Celtic he’d better prepare for long spells on the bench.I don’t see him being first choice against Brown,Rogic,Ntcham and McGregor.

Not necessarily, if he only wants to go to Celtic, he will only be allowed when a reasonable offer comes in, I'd rather keep him and let him go for nowt than be screwed by that lot.
