Summer transfer thread

[hfc rd]

Agyepong next?


Paperwork holding up the deal. Hopefully announced tonight

[Juniper Greens]

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.

Not stronger than we finished last season, agreed....I would argue, a lot stronger than we started it.

3 Good goalies now
Mallan and Slivka vs Dylan in the middle
Sounds like Barker being replaced by the next Man City speedster
Flo and Mac attack vs Murray and the Firestarter.

I think we are stronger now.

Double scarf above head moment incoming, I reckon.

But still the wee team....dragging out feet, scraping the bottom of the barrel.


Look at our neighbours scarf raising ceremony for this seasons signings !!

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:


I think SA will be a last day of the window signing if at all.
We can't really make an offer for him while celtc are trying to get JM.

[Bleed green]

Hoping that agyepong gets announced later on! McGinn last game on Sunday will get brought off 70thcminute

[snooky]

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...

Are you Nostradamus? :wink:
You're doing okay.

Pish.

Its the 71st minute.

GGTTH

[madhatter]

Agreed. I want us to be stronger than we finished last season though. My opinion is we are roughly the same when/if we get this winger over the line. Any players after that and we are getting in to territory of being stronger, dependent on McGinn situation of course.

[21sMay]

Apart from everything being wrong so far

[Juniper Greens]

We are now almost reaching the stage that the first XI is strong enough that potential signings might now be considered as backup?

If John goes South and we get a decent transfer fee for him then we will be in in a strong position to offer smelltic at least £5000 for Scott.

It's not luck. He's guessing timeframes for the obvious ones folk knew about and the ones he's totally made up are being found out.

While you where all adamant and laughing at me talking re Everton but in same week Brighton are in talks with Hibs another prem club I told you about prem clubs looking at McGinn. Do you seriously think it’s only one club? Everton also in talks

you said the deal would be announced next week that mcginn is going to everton so surely if it was a done deal the club wouldnt be taking to other clubs if a contract was signed, the other players coming in wasnt really hard to name seeing as everyone knew about them

Nah JG . Scott Allan would be a starting 11 signing. As would a replacement if McGinn goes .

Not to much lately but he is enjoying it and thinks Livvi will be a breath of fresh air to the league. He’s very strong minded so don’t be surprised if he does actually pull off a few good results and stay up.

That’s who I really want us to sign as well. Especially now that we have got both Kamberi & Maclaren back.

[Aldo]

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I reckon we’re an attacking mid (Allan), deeplying playermaker/dylan type player, and another winger away from being a top side.

[calumhibee1]

Allan should be well out of our reach with the performances he puts in in a Hibs strip. The fact he can’t seem to do it anywhere else plays into our hands. We need to get it done.

[PatHead]

Just saw Chris Hughton on ssn. He said that he was happy with his squad. They only had one player for one osition left before Thursday. If it happens it happens, if not he is happy with his squad. Don’t know if he is playing it down or not to try and reduce fee.

One more striker and one more CB if I’m being greedy. With playing three at the back we need five IMO

[MacGruber]

Left back (when Stevenson's leg buckled in Greece we were facing the prospect of Whittaker playing there out of position), left winger (Agyepong) striker, CM (2 if SJM goes)

[Gmack7]

we need another LB.when stevenson looked like he was going off i had no idea who'd move into his position

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Disagree personally. Porteous can come in for 1, and if 2 are injured then D. Gray/Bartley can cover in an emergency (or Lewis if you look at Ibrox); or we can change to a back 4.

Allocating budget to a 5th centre back is a waste better spent elsewhere.

A 4th striker however...

[500miles]

We've still not replaced Mcgeouch, and we will need to replace Mcginn when he goes. We need that steel in the engine room.

I think we’ll bring in a big lump of a player to be our fourth striker.

Someone that’s probably not a particularly good player but is a pest to opposition defences and wins headers in the box, the sort of guy you put on with 10 minutes to go if we’re wanting to get balls in the box. Similar to the reason Brian Graham was signed, hopefully someone better than him though.

[Nicho87]

I agree, I think we'll get a target man before the window closes. Lennon's record with these (Brian Graham and big Dave) hasn't exactly been great so hopefully we'll see an improved version.

We definitely need cover for Lewis. Whittaker playing there would give me nightmares. We could sign a left sided defender that is comfortable playing left back and left sided centre back as that'd give us good cover at the back. Maybe a young boy on loan from an English side.

With MacLaren and Agyepong in it's starting to take shape though :nlgwa

[Big_Franck]

Does anyone else think this Agyepong deal ain’t happening?

No, the deal with man city has been done. Lennon said so in his aftermatch interview in Greece. We are just waiting for the paperwork for his work permit. The transfer negotiation itself has been agreed.

[Heisenberg]

Surely Lennon wouldn’t mention it unless he was confident it was happening?

Bookmark this as guaranteed next summer there will be a million folk asking what his release clause is!

It's great to see us negotiate these kind of deals. Jamie has a great year and we're first in the queue for for him.

Also nice statement of intent by the club as not many teams in Scotland are near paying that kind of money.

[GloryGlory]

A bit of a double edged sword. If he has a great season, he will generate interest from clubs down south, who will be able to pay Darmstadt a bigger fee plus pay Jamie 4 or 5 times the best we could offer in the way of salary.

However, like Kamberi - never say never! :greengrin

Not if we have an agreed fee like Kamberi, only thing to scupper it would be Jamie not agreeing terms, we have 1st option to buy.

Exactly, even if someone offered Darmstadt £10m it wouldn’t matter aslong as Jamie wanted to sign for Hibs then we’d get it done before that team could be allowed to speak to him.

I don’t think we need to. It’s Slivka’s favoured position and he’s an excellent replacement. Brilliant in both legs v the Greeks.

[southsider]

Is that journalist reliable?
No idea but what did the tweet say ?

[Ronniekirk]

What did the John McGinn to Everton tweet say ? If it is as per Bleeds Green with a season long loan back I would be delighted and will buy BG a pint.

When something seems to good to be true , etc.

Not if we have an agreed fee like Kamberi, only thing to scupper it would be Jamie not agreeing terms, we have 1st option to buy.


Jeezo, how many times was the option to buy explained during the Kamberi signing - surely you shouldn't have to keep doing it.

"McGinn, Everton..." followed by a gif suggesting maybe it was happening

[danhibees1875]

Exactly, even if someone offered Darmstadt £10m it wouldn’t matter aslong as Jamie wanted to sign for Hibs then we’d get it done before that team could be allowed to speak to him.

But if an English team were interested then McLaren would know that and would know that they would offer more money.
He'd just have to stall long enough for us to no longer have the option. The deal is no guarantee in itself.

It didn't happen with Kamberi thankfully, as he was happy to come back and improve himself here.

If we get the city winger. Were really needing one central midfielder in the likely scenario McGinn leavesThing we need one anyway if mcginn goes we will need two midfielders

Yeah the option itself doesn't mean much. If he has a blinding season and clubs from down south want him he'd just not agree terms and then negotiate with them.

We obviously want him to have a great season but it's abit of a double edged sword as the better he plays the less likely we are to keep him for another year.

Of course that’s why I said if Mclaren and Hibs want the deal done then it will happen irrespective of what other teams come in and it will be done at a far reduced rate than other teams would get that’s the good thing about these loan deals, pretty straight forward.

Yes, I just think it's uncommon for a footballer to be happy with coming to a club like Hibs irrespective of other options. It's better to have it than just having a normal loan though. :agree:

Gives me a lot more respect for Flo, the fact he did come. Shame we didn't have one agreed in the Allan loan deal, would have cut through a lot of the crap with that one.

[Winston Ingram]

One more striker and one more CB if I’m being greedy. With playing three at the back we need five IMO

I think we have to get another one as well as if Kamberi gets injured. The other 2 can’t hold the ball up and have to play in a 2

[Lago]

Not to much lately but he is enjoying it and thinks Livvi will be a breath of fresh air to the league. He’s very strong minded so don’t be surprised if he does actually pull off a few good results and stay up.
Hope he does well, always admired him as a player from his early days at ER & followed his career with intrest, although never too happy with his Glasgow sojourn :greengrin but wish him well in his new role apart from the obvious. :agree:

Just waiting on clearance. He’s signed!

If he is already registered at Man City, he must have a work permit already. Work permits are nothing to do with the FA or SFA and apply across the whole UK. We are not buying him, so he is not changing employer, so I am flummoxed by this extended delay.

Pretty sure Jamie wanted a permanent move, maybe too big a fee with 2 yrs left, hence a lower fee next year.

You can’t have seen him much. Easily one of the best defenders in the league last year - his stats were unbelievable and it’s no surprise he’s gone down south.

I read but can't remember where, and I can't find it now, but when City signed him they didn't complete the the paperwork correctly. When he was first linked to us there was a rumour that City hadn't registered the player, and that he could bee a free agent. So it appears that City did register but failed to obtain the work permit . That's my understanding anyway. If anyone knows any better please correct me.

here is a question that I don’t think has been asked about the whole option to buy thing.

Can we activate the option to turn the loan into a permanent deal at any time up to the agreed date next summer?

For example could we do the rest of our transfer business during the window being opened and come the 1st September pay Darmstadt the required fee if we have it from McGinn’s sale and our European payments and get him signed up on permanent contract.

I’m sure we could but probably wouldn’t be the best for the player or us. At the moment he is still getting £8k a week. Parent club probably pay 60% and we pay the rest. If we signed him now he’d lose money.

£100k would be £100k more than he’s worth to Celtic. If rumours of his wage are correct he’s currently around a £500k per year drain on their finances with no prospect of that changing.

They could pay off him around £250k and we’d take him off their hands for him and they’ve just saved £250k......which is a lot of money, even if it doesn’t seem it in the current market.

Scott Allan has absolutely zero value in the transfer market just now as he is of no value at all to Celtic.

They took a punt on a transfer that hasn’t worked, i’m Sure he’s a smart businessman and in any business sometimes you have to cut your losses on poor investments.

Other clubs may step forward and be willing to take him off their hands but nobody is going to be offering decent money for him. Given his lack of success else where I doubt there’s going to be many clubs wanting him, thankfully for us.

£9k a week is the rumour that has been on here for a while, I was just working from that.

If Aberdeen were going to offer that much for him they would have done so by now, if they’re interested in him they’ll be following the same logic as us and waiting to see if he gets paid off or to get him on loan.

I think he’ll want a transfer fee but as the transfer window gets ready to slam shut he’ll realise that’s no happening so will need to try and cut his losses as best he can......IMO that’s when the likes of Hibs and Eberdeen will be ready to pounce.

It’s not a question of stupidity, just a difference of opinions, time will tell who ends up being right but imo Allan will end up joining us and I’d be amazed if we paid any transfer fee, or if we do it’ll be a minimal amount.

I have described them as parasites on this thread and others. That is the reason why! They believe they have a god given right to hoover up any young Scottish talent at the lowest price possible and then sell them if they can for huge profit if they can. They also buy others i.e. Scott Allan relatively cheaply and then don't play them. They then moan about lack of competition in Scotland when they get pumped in Europe. My dream for SJM is that he signs for an English club for a fee that we are happy with, goes on to better things and never ever sets foot inside parkhead again.
