Summer transfer thread

[Billy Whizz]

On four appearances?

Played at ER the day we “murdered” then 2-0. Thought he was really poor
Did he pick up an injury, as he only played 4 times for Dons

[JimboHibs]

Mate I am not in the habit of posting any rumours let alone fake ones, this information was given to me today, due to my 100% faith in the origin of the info I have absolutely no reason to doubt it, hence I decided to post it. I have no interest in posting bull****, and doubted whether I should disclose this for that reason alone of being accused. It is 100% posted in good faith by myself, if I am wrong then so is my contact which I very much doubt.

If it's 100% no problems in naming the player then 😎

[Billy Whizz]

Looking at players that follow a similar path to Barker I think it could be Thierry Ambrose.

Forward on loan at NAC Breda last season. Checked and he isn’t away on tour with Man City just now either.

Is from your PM Bingo😄

Quite highly rated, City seem to send a few youngsters to the Dutch league and has bags of pace so could be right Bingo 👍🏻

Can you not tell us who then?

What’s the point of saying someone from Man City will sign today and then not say who?

Surely there isn’t that big a buzz off patting yourself on the back n saying “told ye!” when it happens?

Collins Tanor or Thomas Agyepong would be my other guesses.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Where have you watched him, I have Liverpool TV and watch a lot of games even different ages but don't recall him? Just checked and as far as can see he hasn't kicked a ball for Liverpool since the academy in 2014/15

Seen him play a few youth matches and caught a couple of Freiburg games when he was there. And 1 or 2 Bristol City matches where he looked good.

Happy enough with the info given whether it comes off or not. Don’t see why your so wound up by it. Plenty of crap to be moaning about on this board rather than a dude passing on a snippet in good faith.

If he had just said someone is certainly signing by next Sunday then I’d taken it as look at me but he has the team we are getting the player from....hopefully 😎

Are you sure you’re watching the right video? He looked class in that clip.....although the ones at the start weren’t great.

If you’re looking for a shanner of a you tube promotional video it is worth watching Kamberi’s before he signed for us, I thought he looked absolutely dreadful. Can only assume Petrie had a hand in the final edit.

Aberdeen are about to build a new ground and the budget will start to dry up. They will struggle this season. They just took dominic ball back a player their fans really didnt rate and their original target was Dylan. They lost Rooney to Salford city his wages increased to 4k per week. Aberdeen arent paying as much as some would suggest.

Would be a great signing

Most of the ones I seen drew fouls. He's basically Boyle with tricks.

Still not sure it'll be him though. Purely as I think it's more likely to be a British player. If indeed it's not pish.

[Thecat23]

I think it’s a case of Lennon has a list of strikers and he is trying to get one maybe two now in but it’s taken a while as this is the quality he’s going for. Whether or not he gets his first choice is another matter as Jamie is still his No.1 target btw. But having Moult in there isn’t a bad replacement. Hooper is also one Lennon put to the board. He’s certainly aiming for high standards and shows where he wants to take us.

[mayo hibee]

You're in dreamland if you think we'd get both. Can't surely think we'd be capable of bringing both of them in?

While it seems unlikely it's not beyond possibility if and when McGinn is sold. Four forwards/strikers are needed in total, so two more required with Murray gone. There's little point wasting a squad space on someone like Big Dave so we should be aiming for two more quality strikers before the window closes, ideally with one in before the next European game.

Any of these three you've mentioned, even if we got one of them in, I'd be delighted. If I was greedy, I would love Moult and Maclaren. We'd be frightening.

Heard from someone whose spoken to ALFs side that they’re very interested in a move to Hibs. Not sure if its the same level of interest on Hibs side or not or if it’s affordable but it’s definitely seems their is truth to the reports.

[mayo hibee]

Have to say ALF would be lower down my list than a lot of the other names mentioned. If he's willing to take a big pay cut he might be worth a shot but someone like Hooper, Moult or Maclaren, even if only on loan, would be better.

He’s a player Lennon is keeping an eye on trust me. Technically no offer has been made but no offer has been made for Maclaren but we still want him.

[hfc rd]

Have to say ALF would be lower down my list than a lot of the other names mentioned. If he's willing to take a big pay cut he might be worth a shot but someone like Hooper, Moult or Maclaren, even if only on loan, would be better.

A couple of seasons ago, I’d have been very excited about the prospect of signing Adam Le Fondre but now he’d be my 4th choice out of the strikers you have mentioned above.

1 - Jamie Maclaren
2 - Louis Moult
3 - Gary Hooper
4 - Adam Le Fondre

[davemcbain]

Dumb question for anyone in the know: How much are any signings dependent on selling McGinn?

If Hibs get say £3m for him, then some decent players could be bought in, who might be unaffordable if he isn't sold. There might be some plan B players who would come in if he isn't, but why take on an extra wage now for someone who is not as good as someone you really want to spend the McGinn cash on?

Could there be 2 lists of players who are lined up for signature either right at the end of the window (the not so good, but cheap ones), or the day McGinn goes (the decent ones)?

Not a dumb question, I'd wager that you are spot on.

We can do one of three things...

1) Do a Hearts and sign up anybody and everybody as soon as possible because they're free and nobody else wants them. Caveat this with the fact they are sh**e, hence why they're readily available and grabbing the pen out your hand.

2) Go for decent players who are affordable, can do a job, play for clubs that are accomodating and happy to offload without much fuss.

3) Go for players that are probably and certainly potentially a level or two above us and haggle with clubs who are slightly reluctant to offload as well as barter with these players and persuade them to take a pay cut for long term gain.

I think and I'm sure that we have taken option 3. Kamberi and Mallan lend credence to that.

I agree that we won't break the wage structure but how do you know what that is? Someone like Hooper who has already made a small fortune from the game might be happy enough getting regular football at a decent wage.
Also other incentives could be added in such as higher signing on fee's etc. I don't think it's beyond us.

Because he was cheaper?

Hooper will be on at least 30k a week. Moult reportedly on 10k a week. Don’t think Mallan would have been on anything like that at Barnsley when he was signed from the Scottish Championship.

We are finding out the same thing as we find out every window.

Being Hibs fans who would give an arm to play for the club, we think Hibs is an attractive option.

Footballers above our level who like to be paid money for a living, don’t see Hibs as an attractive option.

This is why few of any of the names mentioned will sign for the club.

As the Motherwell manager said, half the teams in the national league can now pay more than the SPL.

Hibs will sign mostly loan players from here.

Soundd promising and clips of him show him as very very fast, tricky, takes players on and plays on the left mostly.

1 main starting striker (McLaren, ADF)

Allan

We need someone to replace McGinn as we would still be light especially with Dylan gone. Docherty from the Huns dare I say....

Big Marv has been used by Lennon to suit his tactics or the opponents, he has excelled in games and never let us down when called upon, not sure what level you think he is at but in my opinion he’s more than good enough in his role.

Going in to Thurs, for me its important we now don't lose any more players. From the team that started most of the games in the 2nd half of the season we're already down Marciano, Dylan, Allan and Jamie Mac.

Let's try and gain a lead heading in to a very tough away tie and Mcginn gives us energy with his bursting runs

On the other hand you could take into account what he actually said which is that he would have "loved to have come" but couldn't agree terms.

Coming up for 33 so he's more than entitled to get the best deal possible while he has plenty options.

He is, but down here many of us are treating the Oz generated report...quoting his agent, with a pinch of salt.

He is 33 next month, and although he has been in 4 World Cup Final squads, he has arguably never played in a league even of the standard of the SPL.

10 years or so ago when he had a good deal of improvement left in him I could see why Hibs would take a punt on him, but not as he winds down his career.

He was playing in the Middle East last season but had his contract terminated by his club.

I think if the story IS true, which I doubt, that we need to do better.

I actually think ability wise, our defense is very strong. Can’t think of more than 1/2 defenders in this league that i’d take over Efe, Daz and Paul.
Which is what makes it all the more frustrating that we concede so many.

I don’t want to have a dig at the coaching staff or Lenny, but something must be going wrong in training or tactically. That said, providing we keep scoring I don’t mind too much, given how entertaining our games have been, and the attacking prowess we display.
We have the foundations of a very solid defence - I’m not convinced we can get better, so no. I think other areas should be prioritized.

He’s highly rated by Utd and I was very suprised when they let him join Hearts on loan as he was far too good for them. He’s predominantly a left winger as used to watch him in the under 18’s & reserves. But he has a lot of good defensive attributes hence why he’s been deployed at LB a few times. Currently with the 1st team over in the States. Utd have got a few good young players coming through. Angel Gomes & Tahith Chong in particular look like they are going to be quality players in the future.

Paying millions to some geeks on computers when we should be doon the public parks finding the next Pat Stanton [emoji35]Haven't the thieves got that area sewn up already though?

Not much down the parks these days except the odd wandering mutt, and they've got to have got their now legendary Dug Scheidt from there.

Watch the video in the following article and find out.

Slivka stood up and applauded after watching the history of Hibs video. Love him for that.

I liked that video when it was released. However, the last few transfer windows haven’t really shown the “we don’t just start thinking about the transfer window when it opens, we think about it 6-18months in advance”. Surely we’d have more than Kamberi and Mallan if that was the case? Bogdan is just cover for Marciano (I hope!) so I don’t think that was planned.

I know it takes time to find the players and I know it takes time for player recruitment. What I don’t get is why we seem to be in a reactive position, surely we already have lists of realistic players we could sign. Surely those lists are based on probability - how likely is it that the club will deal with us, how likely is it that the player will want to come to Hibs etc. I don’t get that impression. I like the idea of making arrangements with Juventus and Man City but I don’t like the idea of waiting to see what they’ll give us...surely if we had an arrangement with clubs we would know what players we could get on loan by now, unless they are waiting to see who they can sell before giving us the leftovers on loan.

I’m guessing they’ll get some financial benefits or player benefits out of these arrangements as well - first choice on Hibs talent or 50% sell on clauses (should it be permanent deal)?

I don’t believe Hibs have any special agreements with Juventus and Man City. It was simply a case that Barker was a success last season so we’ve gone back to the well for more.

Surely that would’ve been seen as an option 6 months ago and players scouted and discussions had well before now? If Man City were happy with Barkers time at Hibs and we’ve identified players they have that would help us, why is it taking so long to get them? I’d understand if it was other clubs (Darmstadt etc.) but if is Man City we’re talking about, they’ve got tons of players and don’t need the money...

[SaulGoodman]

I am starting to wonder exactly what worth our back room recruitment team are worth? They sit on computers analysing all sorts of info to what effect though is it worth the money it is costing for these guys ?

This must be a wind up.

The recruitment dept are likely to be waiting until August 13th to make at least a couple of signings as that’s when the English window shuts and there are likely to be some deals that would not have normally been available to us at that point.

As we need a defensive midfielder, anyone rate the walking yellow card Adoa that played for the yams last season? Just been released by his club.

No chance. He was a dreadful footballer. Ran about kicking the opposition and that was about it.

We don't need a DM that's just physical and strong in the tackle, Bartley does that, we need a play making DM, similar to Dylan but maybe a wee bit stronger in that position, our style of play has changed where Bartley has been left behind.

Yip couldnt put it any better myself. :agree:

Marv is still a good player to have around though, but he's not going to get the game time he will want, but he's still a decent player who we can bring on to shut games down when winning late on.

Can’t you still sign players from the English leagues after the window there shuts? I just don’t think English teams can buy players after window shuts

One of the worst footballers in a terrible hearts team. Zero quality, just ran around fouling

I'd imagine so - the same way that the Russian team bought O'Connor from us when their window was open but ours was closed.
