Summer transfer thread

[ano hibby]

Whooooooosh

Oops 🙈😁

[Unseen work]

Fair enough, it's a futile argument anyway as these players are from different markets, and therefore the rules are different - good on Aberdeen for the approach they're taking though.

Just a bit fed up with 'if so and so went for that much, that must make [Scottish player] worth this much'. It just doesn't work like that.

I understand what you’re saying but my argument is the one Aberdeen will also be putting towards Swansea and imo it’s a valid one. One good season for them and his value will rocket.

I wouldn't disagree with that at all. But there are several ones that Swansea could make to counter them.

Brandon Barker has revealed Hibs’ new signing, Thomas Agyepong is the fastest player he’s ever seen.

Seen the above on Twitter . Has he actually been signed /announced.

Hiwula and Agyepong- Announced Friday

Mginn to Everton on Monday/Tues with Defensive midfielder Alexander Denny coming on loan. Tried to get Dowell but loaning back out to championship side.

Maclaren looking to be announced on Mon/Tues aswell really depending on Mcginn deal as may want to announce after or before he goes.

Take of that what you will, im logging off and will come back on when announced, some people calling me a liar etc...

[BSEJVT]

How is it out of order to be sceptical about this? If it turns out to be true then us sceptics were wrong. If not then nobody gets any benefit out of it.

Whether its true or not they are plausible rumours which if nothing else livened up a thread that was and is a total car crash

Exactly why folk feel the need to give grief to somebody they never have and never will meet when all they have done is posted information on a thread on a football forum escapes me a bit.

I could partially understand it if it were a wise after the event type of grief or an obvious jamboid wind up, but whilst the topics under discussion are still a possibility?

I can understand folk disagreeing over the pace of signings or on the relative merits of a specific player, but this seems like faux outrage in nothing more than a look at me type posturing.

There has been so little actual rumour that true or not this actually gave some of us something to think about rather than indulge in the inter poster bickering that has characterised most of Hibs net over the entire close season.

Roll on Sunday and the closure of the transfer window

But Boyle works best with the ball to feet and space to run. Never got that all night

[Hibs90]

Hibernian are "very close" to bringing striker Jamie Maclaren back to Easter Road, head coach Neil Lennon has revealed.

The Australian, 25, scored eight goals in 15 matches on loan at Hibs between January and May.

He has two years remaining on his contract with German parent club Darmstadt.

"Jamie, hopefully very close. Close enough. Nothing's guaranteed in this game," the Hibs boss told BBC Scotland.

"That'd be another body in the building, another centre-forward, and take the pressure of Florian Kamberi and Martin Boyle."

Seems like Agyepong is confirmed
http://mobile.footballghana.com/ghanas-thomas-agyepong-joins-hibernian
"'We are just waiting on the paperwork as Thomas [Agyepong] has had his medical,' Lennon said. 'He'll be with us on a year's loan."

[SHODAN]

So far, compared to last season we're down by McGeouch, Maclaren, Allan, Barker and Murray.

Based on his performances so far, Mallan can arguably replace McGeouch in the deep lying midfield role. Agyepong will replace Barker, Maclaren and Allan may return which would leave us needing a backup striker to replace Murray. All that would be left would be a replacement for McGinn if we sell him.

Mallan is more attacking midfield. Think he’s only doing a job in the Dulan role until we get someone else in more suitable to that role.

For those who say "Jordy deal didnt happen" well, the way I see it, a Jordy deal did happen, same time as Neil Lennon suggests Jamie Mac is coming back, and I see that as Top Target signs, Backup Plan finds more solid deal & grabs it (understandably).

Heard from a source that said about Bogdan before it was online, that MacLaren deal looks like its happening. Would be permanent, all I know. Just a rumour, don't shoot the messenger

My Brighton mate said they have been monitoring McGinn for a while. Chris Hughton a big fan of his. Watched the game with me last night and was quite stunned that we are asking for £4M for him. Claimed that would be a steal at that price in today’s market. Was also very impressed with what he saw from McGinn and would have no issues slotting in well down there.

:agree: I'd imagine the package - length of contract, signing on fee, wages, bonuses, etc - will be more than enough to set him up for life. He's still quite young and has a good 10 years in the game ahead of him. Plenty time for him to earn the big bucks and then do a career finale cameo at his "boyhood heroes".

[MSK]

Just saw that, would be a great move for himAgree, wonder if that will be a trigger for other clubs to show their hands now

Agreed - he deserves better, imo than the derisory bids celtic are putting in. The whole clubs attitude is summed up in the arrogance of their fans

[GloryGlory]

My Brighton mate said they have been monitoring McGinn for a while. Chris Hughton a big fan of his. Watched the game with me last night and was quite stunned that we are asking for £4M for him. Claimed that would be a steal at that price in today’s market. Was also very impressed with what he saw from McGinn and would have no issues slotting in well down there.

Hopefully we get a lot of clauses re appearances, caps, share of transfer fees, etc to bump that figure up over the next couple of years.

Looking at the fees clubs are forking out in the EPL (and Championship to a lesser extent), a couple of good seasons at Brighton could easily see him go to a bigger club for multi millions.

[mjhibby]

It’s main braking news on sky sports ticker !

Show us the money !! £5 million minimum

Plus please loan him back till the end of the season!

Maybe a leak to try drive price up so we can do business soon ourselves.

Funny how we've not had rumours saying who we'd buy if McGinn goes. As usual hibs keeping under wraps. Whose in the English championship like McGinn whose not a regular in their side. No idea but that would be the fit to my eyes anyway. Would like scotty back but will Celtic deal with is if McGinn goes elsewhere. Should be a very interesting August.

[mjhibby]

I think last night result has two ways you can look at it. Firstly it will greatly improve our profile for anybody thinking of coming to us but also the price of players gone up due to the money we're making for the run. Just briilliant seeing us winning in Europe. I got so used to it watching turnbulls tornadoes it's great watching us in Europe again. Hugely proud of everybody at hibs for restoring us to where we were.

[HibeeMackenzie]

BBC reporting we’ve turned down in excess of three bids from Celtc for John McGinn.

Is that 4?

[GST1875]

Thinking about the lack of transfer news, I honestly find it tricky to work out how many we need as there are just too many factors to consider.

Keep McGinn but go out of Europe - In this case I'd say we still need two strikers, one central midfielder, a winger to allow us to play different systems, and maybe cover for left back if Lennon doesn't think the young lasd (forgotten his name) is up for it.

Lose McGinn and go out of Europe - as above but with a marquee signing of a midfielder required.

Keep McGinn and stay in Europe - as thefirst option but with depth required (one extra quality defender, midfielder and striker at least to allow us to allow us to rest players). Wouldn't have to be top quality players, just those who can hopefully do a job and give us a little resale value. Off the top of my head someone like Shankland who has been tipped recently (I know we're probably not or won't look at him, just as an example)

Lose McGinn and stay in Europe - a combination of the second and third option.

All of this, combined with not knowing our final budget until Europe/McGinn situations are clearer, must surely have slowed things drastically. After the Molde game and the closing of the English transfer window, I'd be expecting a lot more movement on our end.

TL:DR - Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

In all fairness they seem to do the best for their player who made it clear he wanted to be back here. Considering the grief people are giving agents on the McGinn thread maybe we should admit they're not all bad guys?

I’m not saying the guy knows everything or that he’s not going to have got things wrong but credit where credits due, he said it would be announced around the weekend and Lennon has all but confirmed it? That’s pretty accurate to me.

We’ll see about the McGinn stuff, like others I’m sceptical about that one but I’d be delighted if he’s right re; loaning him back to us for a year, unfortunately I can’t see it though.

I was thinking the same. Seems not ideal from our part, because if we can afford this fee and he has a stormer of a season, we're at risk of losing him to another buyer. Plus Dramstadt will find it tough to bargain with potential buyers for much beyond that since they've effectively shown their hand (presuming other clubs find out what this fee it, but they usually do).

Maybe is was Jamie's/ his agent's influence on the deal? This way for him, if he has just an ok season then he'll still probably end up at hibs on a perm, and if he has a stormer then a club with more money/ bigger league could easily come in and he'd have a better chance of moving for much higher wages rather than waiting 2-3 years with us. I suppose the obvious drawback is that if he does poorly he could end up back at Germany which is where he doesn't want to be. However he seems to have a lot of belief in himself as a player and as a professional. This is total guesswork obviously.

IF it is a similar deal to Flo's, then the selling/ buying price has already been agreed and will not change at season's end. Perhaps we have current funds ear-marked elsewhere and will use cash from next season's st sales to fund permanent deal. Get player now, pay later.

I'm not a professional footballer but if I was I think I'd want to live in Germany play for Dirk, Sascha and Franky.

Him and Flo's agent with another Twitter post, telling all SPL defences to be afraid, showing Jamie and Flo goal montage.

sure flo was announced the same day as they were tweeting previously so hopefully maclaren tonight

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Any chance of Agyepong being announced today as well? Paperwork seems to be taking a while for him.

Yes.

That's a guess but feel free to put it on Twitter anyway. :thumbsup:

SJM in the last screen shot :cb

I suspect that half the reason we've been able to pull this off is that both players have the same agent (and said agent has connections to us).

Hopefully Maclaren & Agyepong are announced today and we can then announce 1-2 players before the Europa squad registration deadline, so they can face Molde.

When is the deadline?

[Juniper Greens]

When is the deadline?

First deadline this evening, only allowed 2 "wildcards" thereafter.

Cheers mate :aok: Sounds like we have everything in place with MacLaren so could even get him registered to play against Molde before officially announcing him on our media sometime this weekend so wont panic too much if we don't get an official announcement on him or Agyepong tonight.

Celtc now have to decide if they are serious about wanting McGinn, because they weren't if they thought £2m was a fair offer.As celtc are Southamptons feeder club maybe they need to find out how much they can afford to bid from them before going any further? [emoji4]

Well, that was a bit meh! Not asked about any incoming, was asked about SJM and didn't say much more than we already know. No knowledge of any bid from Brighton.

[h185forever]

Jamie has signed ...official

All this waiting around to get the players we targeted is daft...why didn't we just overspend on 13 free agents?:dunno:

[cabbageandribs1875]

when's scott allan getting announced :I'm waiti








oh, and welcome back jamie mac :applause: hopefully a lethal partnership with flo for the next 9+ months :flag:

[GreenCastle]

Now bring home SA...:greengrin and hold onto SJM or sell for over £5 million at worst.

[madhatter]

We've got some great signings in but to counter your comment - we still aren't stronger than last season.

2 of our signings were here last season...

I hope we get stronger than last season still.

[SHODAN]

Agyepong next?
