Summer transfer thread

[SMAXXA]

People are entitled to their opinions that why we love Football we all see it differently. Personally I like McLaren he’s a goal scorer but I don’t think he’s that great a player, happy he’s signed don’t get me wrong but Flo is a better player imo so can see why some are saying they aren’t blown away with him.

[Allant1981]

Because we’re only allowed to think one way or because we’ve forgotten how often we were accusing him of having contributed nothing in many matchday threads last year?

no you are entitled to your opinion, just so happens that your opinion is rubbish

Maclaren is unorthodox but he is a goalscorer which is his job. Thankfully Speedway is in the minority here.

[SloopJB]

Not trolling. He’s crap.

Didn’t require anyone to ask about the name.
My hope is that he does enough to make you change your opinion.
Would be a win win.

[mayo hibee]

In fairness, given that we have a lot of wingers now, it's likely that Maclaren will spend a lot of time on the bench as we will only play one up in a lot of games and it won't be him. But he will start games where we play two forwards and he is a great option to have to come in off the bench when we need to switch to two strikers in the second half of games. He didn't get to the World Cup by being a poor player.

[Borderhibbie76]

Maclaren is pretty humpty unless he's in the opposition box. But he's absolutely lethal when the ball gets to him anywhere near the goal.

There will be games where he doesn't start this season, put it that way, but he still has every chance of scoring 15 - 20 goals.

It leaves space for others, which we did exploit last season when he was here.

[500miles]

Aye, but if he's scoring that many goals, he's not gash. Less opinions from you, more rumours please.

He’s definitely got that in his game but for me, he goes missing too much, , not a particularly strong shot, not particularly Quick, not strong in the air, and definitely overhyped.

But then there’s some on here who think Marv’s finished so, pinch of salt and all that.

I would imagine he will be on the team sheet for every game, once he is fully fit.

A striker who is lethal is worth his weight in gold to Hibs. He has a very good partnership with Kamberi and I would argue that they will only get better this season.

When you say humpty, are you referring to his technique, his build up play, his overall contribution, his harrasing of the opposition when he doesn’t have the ball?

[Speedway]

He gives the ball away too easily and makes poor choices if he is given too much time to think. It's not a massive criticism, he's an instinctive goalscorer, but he's not one of those players that can do it all themselves.

He does work hard though, and his movement pulls defenses about, especially given that burst of pace he has.

[badabing67]

Just a thought at the end of the summer transfer window does any body else think we should try to extend Lenny's contact.

A managers stock also goes up and Lenny's is rising all the time here. When things settle down a bit I hope the board renegotiates his contract. Currently he is contracted to the end of 2020

I don't think now is to soon to try and get his contract extend to show our appreciation and commitment to him. I think he's probably worth double what he's getting at the Hibees.

We should also seek to increase the value of the compensation tied to his contract. We need to be realistic here the season has started and managers, will be going its only a matter of time before bigger clubs come sniffing around.

If we can upgrade Lenny's by the end of the summer I think that would be our best bit business

I agree with this, however his goal record is good and against good opposition not early season LC humpings. The fact NL has wanted him here again suggests he's a player with more potential.

What does he want to achieve? Does he want us to be all primed to turn against mclaren as soon as he goes through a dry spell?

At very best, he's being very weirdly persistant in an entirely unproductive way.

I'm hoping it is someone like Kamara or Mulumbu. Our recruitment team surprised us in January with Kamberi - maybe someone out of left field, who hasn't been mentioned in dispatches previously.

Mulumbu may well find himself in demand in England now as clubs can only sign loans and free transfers. Hibs probably need to be looking at players down there that clubs want off their books now - could be a bargain or two to be had with reduced English competition.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Phew …. the last 5 pages or so should be kept away from Jamie MacLaren :greengrin

If you ask me the excitement surrounding his return was over the partnership he clearly formed with Kamberi more than his qualities as an individual. The two of them together worked well last season. Besides that for how long have we been moaning about the lack of a penalty box striker? ( which MacLaren clearly is ) and yet now we have one the rest of his game becomes a problem …. As it is his movement in the whole final 3rd is good and you cant fault his workrate, he makes room for other players.

Apart from that, he was clearly a success last season so FFS lets give him at least one full game in this one before we decide he needs upgrading :confused:

Signed for Forrest for £3m a few year ago.

Not sure if you’re getting him confused with someone but Clough is a similar style to Jack Grealish, a number 10 or play wide.

Not what we need IMO

As an aside, of our summer signings:

Kamberi - U21 international
Bogdan - Full International
Mallan - U21 International
Gash - Full International
Ageypong - Full International
Hyndman - Full International
Horgan - Full International

When’s the last time our summer signings had that much cumulative pedigree?

Gash? Pathetic and no need what so ever.

Must be , i thought i remember him from football league on channel 5 ... Always thought he was a forward.

[BoltonHibee]

Not really, an attacking midfielder. He’s very small around 5.6” I think. He can play in hole too. Loves to run through midfield attacking players, can create too. Chips in with a few goals too. Only criticism I would have is I thought he was a bit lightweight but good player.

His position on that link states that he is second striker which is pretty much a CF role. It’s the role Antoine Griezmann plays at Atletico Madrid & France.

If there is any truth in this rumour then I wonder who the midfielder is that NL is after? Definitely need a deep lying playmaker/ball winning midfielder type. Personally can’t see us going for Allan until January. Hyndman is a similar is a creative attacking midfielder like Scotty.

Not really, an attacking midfielder. He’s very small around 5.6” I think. He can play in hole too. Loves to run through midfield attacking players, can create too. Chips in with a few goals too. Only criticism I would have is I thought he was a bit lightweight but good player.

If and obviously its a big if that this is true, then where is lennon going to play them all? Mallan , Hyndman, Clough ..

[hfc rd]

Again this rumour from Nixon might be a load of rubbish. Did he not state on Twitter a few weeeks ago, that we we’re closing on a PL striker that was out on loan last season? Not heard anything since unless I missed something?

[BILLYHIBS]

As an aside, of our summer signings:

Kamberi - U21 international
Bogdan - Full International
Mallan - U21 International
Gash - Full International
Ageypong - Full International
Hyndman - Full International
Horgan - Full International

When’s the last time our summer signings had that much cumulative pedigree?
Was that the same Gash that scored a hatrick against the Huns? Pathetic post should hang your head in shame!

Another attacking midfielder? I'm all for signing quality at the right price but, given the options we already have, I wouldn't be bothering about this one if it was only a loan signing.

Either way I think Neil might be trying to tell Danny Swanson something.

Based on no knowledge whatsoever and a youtube clip you can never take anything from I'm saying no thanks

Just want a powerful, all action, box to box deep playing, strong running lynch pin that links defence and attack is strong as an Ox that runs all day and has a steely determination, never say die attitude and is a leader of men & who's name lends to a catchy litte ditty.

& Scott Allan too

Clough needs time and space on the ball, if he has that he’s a real asset. Otherwise he cant really cut it physically that’s always been his issue. When he was at Bolton he was a revelation when he burst in to the scene, but then after a few months teams had him sussed and knew how to play him, he was ineffectual after that imo.

His position on that link states that he is second striker which is pretty much a CF role. It’s the role Antoine Griezmann plays at Atletico Madrid & France.

Hyndman is only on Loan till January so you could be right

How anyone can call Maclaren gash is beyond me. Twice the player Cummings was and ever will be. Exactly what is needed for us at the moment. His conversion rate was the best in the league last year.

The guys who think he is gash would probs be happy with Simon Murray upfront. Now he is GASH

Isn’t the squad in danger of being unbalanced? Seem to be in for a lot of small lightweight attacking players.

[andy1875]

Am I missing something with the nickname for McLaren now being Gash?

Brutal patter if its intended the way I suspect.

Added to the fact he was in fact a big part of the team that all so nearly got us 2nd last season, its bad patter. Maybe some of the “gash” posters on here should be emptied for trolling.

It's been a few years now since we had a player that could be referred to as anything like gash.

U were doing aright until you called out Simon Murray.

Have a word nothing wrong with Murray's scoring record at us.

[MrSmith]

Its just Speedy’s opinion. There is no need for anyone to get bent out of shape about it. I remember some of the opinions re Liam Miller (RIP) they were not very flattering! And I personally thought Liam was one of the best footballers I had seen. But opinions eh?!

To be fair he also thought that Ikpeazu was dreadful for Hearts yesterday which to anyone watching the game was patently untrue, so not quite sure if it is an opinion or attention seeking. If it is the later it seems to be working :-)

Mr. Smith, when an opinion is unpopular on .net, there are two options for the group thinkers to respond with:

1. Yam
2. Attention Seeker

I started and wrote the first Yamasaurus thread nearly 10 years ago on here. That was attention seeking because it was very funny and mocked yams everywhere when they were telling us that they were leaving us behind.

The knee jerkers cannot debate a difference in opinion, they can only attack. If Maclaren (since folk don’t like my nickname for him but had no problem with me called Sparky - Spanky) has a few bad games, my critique will look like faint praise compared to the stick he’ll receive on here as their (the group thinkers) opinions change with the wind. Groupthink you see.

The Boy at Hearts is just big, not good, big. He’ll get found out when someone puts a decent challenge in on him and will go into hiding for the rest of that match.

I don’t rate Maclaren, I didn’t rate McPake when everyone was fawning over him, nor Swanson, nor Shinnie but think Slivka is a player.

None of these opinions have been very popular but who cares it’s a football forum and why doesn’t anyone attacking those opinions have more going on in their life, is the real question.

FWIW I actually agree with you a little bit. Maclarens all round game is inconsistent. There's games like at Ibrox where him and Kamberi had some lovely link up play together, nd then there's other games when he doesn't really do much.

But between the posts he is anything but gash. And sometimes that's all it takes to turn an ok team into a good one, as proven last season.

I actually think he offers us something on the shoulder of defenders and is always a nuisance with his work rate.

I am all for people have opinions and you’re right, its a football forum and there are more important things in life than football.

My post a short while ago was wondering if i had missed a whoosh moment in relation to McLaren now being nicknamed “Gash”. I’ve gathered that it is just down to your chat on here though and that in your opinion, he’s not very good.

My opinion is different and I think he will be a quality addition, just like he was last year when the team blossomed with him and Flo in it post Christmas.

Anyone who scores a hat trick against Rangers will never be called Gash in my eyes. Oh and importantly, Neil Lennon doesnt think hes gash either.

[blackpoolhibs]

Its only one person (speedway) who's calling him gash, thats not his nickname. :greengrin

[Eyrie]

Can we have a separate Maclaren thread or just stick to transfers only please?

[bingo70]

I'd rather we didn't sign another AM unless his name is Scott Allan. The midfield is going to get saturated.

Wee bit concerned about that myself tbh.

Not so much the Scott Allan thing as it appears we’re just not getting him this summer. I wonder where the grit and steel in midfield is going to come from though, the players who make it really difficult for the likes of Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen to play. All very well having exciting attacking players but against the better teams we need to have a couple of battlers in there too. As it stands we only really have Bartley and I’m not sure that’s enough.

Saying that, Lennon will know that better than me and I’m sure he’s on it, just hope we don’t end up with a situation of trying to squeeze players into a system that doesn’t really suit them.

[blackpoolhibs]

I've yet to read an explanation of why a striker who scores so many goals for us is "gash".

Speedway explains why 4 or 5 posts down, i dont agree but he does explain his reason. :greengrin

Didn’t Maclaren not say part of him coming to hibs was the fans comments
to him in social media ?

If he reads this rubbish he may change his mind.

Him and Kamberi were lethal together - how anyone can say he is rubbish is a fool or a jambo causing trouble.

I don’t know what some hibs fans are expecting.

I would be delighted if he was just big and not very good but unfortunately, certainly on yesterday’s performance he seems pretty good to me. The fact that he was man of the match also tells a story but I suppose we will have to wait and see.

He does. Says he doesn’t rate McLaren and gives further examples of players he didn’t rate. It’s fine as is his opinion. However and this is not directed at you, callin a long time poster a troll, yam, attention seeker and whatever else was said, is a bit daft given it’s a football forum about opinions. I wish Jamie all the best but haven’t seen enough of him to say either way as yet.

doesnt matter how long someone has been posting, there is a difference of opinion and there is posting rubbish, then posting things like asking who cares if someone lives or not as well as all the other comments, and im pretty sure his conversion rate for the second half of the season proves he is not "gash"

[BILLYHIBS]

Speedway is entitled to his opinion.

Jamie Mac once returned to full match fitness will be worth his weight in gold. That is why the top clubs pay top dollar for top strikers. He is constantly running into goal scoring positions links up well with Flo is an old fashioned penalty box poacher and his games played to goals scored is second to none.We have already seen that Martin Boyle cannot play the striker role as he lacks the required composure and is more useful to the team as a wide man utilising his speed.

Slivka? I agree there is a player in there somewhere but we are yet to see it consistently over ninety minutes he floats in and out of games. I do not think even he knows his best position. The centre midfield berth was there for him to take but he has failed to exert his authority and grab the opportunity to make the position his own.

To call Jamie Maclaren gash is disrespectful in the extreme bearing in mind what he has brought to the team.

Sllivka on the other hand has an excellent pedigree as you do not get picked up by Juve if you are gash and has excellent technique but he is in danger of being remembered as being so if he does not grasp the opportunities presented to him this season by Lenny with both hands.

Speedways post is the daftest on here since another poster suggested we punt Porteous out on loan.:wink:

Hardly. He calls one of our players Gash. Fair enough, he's entitled to his opinion, but that description isn't exactly well thought out and balanced, nor is it backed up the stats. But worse than that, in my opinion, is the abusive and dismissive tone he's taken with other posters who DARE to have a different opinion to him. "Morons" "brittle non intellects" "who cares if you live"..? You really think that's reasonable and part of a healthy discussion?! Without a doubt he's getting away with it because of his post count. Others, myself included, would get reported for less.

And now all of a sudden, a half decent debate has broken out.

Some posters are saying that my characterisation is far too harsh, unfounded and disrespectful. All noted.

However, this brutal characterisation has now allowed to come out and point out that they too, aren’t complete fans of the player but can’t ignore his contribution.

24 hours ago, you were only allowed to praise the boy.

That’s the difference.

If Maclaren scores goals for us and contributes this season, fantastic and I’ll be pleased to review my opinion.

I acknowledge his goals, as I did with Cummings, but I don’t rate him as a player.

And yes, McGivern was indeed gash, but we all loved him during his initial loan period.

Draw any parallels as appropriate.

Macleren will score goals. Works hard and is a constant thorn in defenders side. 1 of my fav Macleren goals was Patrick at home. Boyle hit the byline and macleren movement from behind the defender to in front for a tap in. Top striker play

I can easily see why people think he’s gash. His contribution outside the box is virtually non-existent. As a result, you have to play a striker beside him meaning that you have to play a front 2. I’m struggling to think of one decent side in world football that plays with a front 2 these days.

He’s got brilliant movement and is an excellent finisher and averages about 1 in 2. The problem with a player like him is if he is not scoring, he offers very little meaning every second game it’s almost like your playing with a man short.

He’s got some brilliant qualities but he also has some massive deficiencies in his game.

"Morons" "brittle non intellects" "who cares if you live"..? You really think that's reasonable and part of a healthy discussion?! Without a doubt he's getting away with it because of his post count. Others, myself included, would get reported for less.



did you see the abuse he took from at least two posters with differing opinions to his ? personally they would have got it straight back from me...he's been quite tame in his replies


maybe some posters should learn how to use the ignore function on here, it's really simple to use :)

It is indeed as should be debating a players merits but it seems not.

[Leith Green]

This thread has gone really weird...

[Allant1981]

The rubbish is in your opinion mate. You see the hypocrisy there? I’m saying there is no need for any of us to get bent out of shape over another’s opinion well, unless its completely mental and really needs challenged. Opinions on football players are like erseholes, everybody has one.

Intolerance breeds intolerance with even the most tolerant becoming intolerant.

to say he is gash is rubbish and his goals last season proved that

We can debate players merits without having to go out your way in giving them poor names, how would you like if everyone stopped calling you Speedway and started calling you Grumpy Sourfaced Moaning Auld ****.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Agreed. This nonsense was meant to stop when the new season kicked off.

I’d ask how the wife started learning to use the computer.

[J-C]

Because of course I meant that with all my heart so there was no need for an explanatory parentheses next to it.

And being called a f*****g idiot. Did you report that one?


No because occasionally most people on this website will actually be a ****ing idiot, it's what we as humans do now and again but to actually wish someone to die in a house fire is just plain wrong for so many reasons.

[Pretty Boy]

A few people need to take a step back now or I'll do what I've wanted to do for weeks, if not months, and close this car crash of a thread.

Everyone isn't always going to agree. Deal with it. Having a different opinion doesn't make someone an idiot, or a fancy variation of that word. Wishing ill on someone, in jocular fashion or otherwise, isn't particularly amusing either. We're all adults with the mental capability to operate a computer or phone, that suggests at least a basic intillect, so act like it.

No I haven't read back through them all but I believe someone called him a ****ing idiot which of course is out of order. But if his "contrarian position" was simply to call Maclaren "gash" then he's brought some of it on himself.

[Speedway]

Don’t disagree with that although don’t have this issue on the PM board which is actually referred to on .net as a ‘refuge’ from the main board.

Wonder why?

[blackpoolhibs]

This has turned into one weird ****ed up thread all because an auld ****er called a top scorer for us Gash, this place is ****ing mental at times, I truly despair. :confused:

Despair JC, not for me, posts like we see on this thread is part of the reason i love this place. :greengrin

Could we get back on track and get Scottie Allan back pretty please preferably before this window closes and then we can say we are done! :wink:

Since whatever happened to Andy74, we’ve been short of a good Rammy on here.

We’re still ok to attack Underscore for posting rumour on a rumour thread though.

[hfc rd]

Are we able to get this thread back on topic?

[The_Horde]

So retaliation with flippancy explanation is unacceptable but the original attack on is ok?

I trust you’ve reported both posts.

If you think that's an attack, you've lived a seriously sheltered life.

I'm not in the least bit offended by your post though, despite having a friend who did indeed die in the circumstances in which you posted.

[Fritz]

So you can’t debate the point either then?

Ok, fair enough. If you don't rate Maclaren then that's fine, you're entitled to that opinion. For what it's worth, I can see obvious deficiencies in his game too. He doesn't link play particularly well nor does he seem to have great close control. And he missed a few sitters last season. But he also scored 8 goals. I hate the phrase but he's what I'd call a fox in the box. If someone calls me a ****ing idiot for taking that view then I'd be more than a bit miffed. If, however, all I'd done was refer Maclaren as "gash" then I'd probably deserve all I get for being deliberately provocative.

[blackpoolhibs]

Speedway transferred to kickback, undisclosed fee. :wink:

[NAE NOOKIE]

I think our group admins need to step in here.

No bloody half … its supposed to be a transfer rumours thread, instead folk are using it to discuss the merits of players we already have and worse slagging a player who was good for us last season. Perhaps there should be a separate thread for folk to rip the guys who aren't good enough for the new Barcelonaesque Hibernian FC.

[Speedway]

If you think that's an attack, you've lived a seriously sheltered life.

If you think what I’ve responded with is an attack, you must have lived similarly.

[Edinburgh Green]

Yeah this car crash of a thread needs binned.

[MacGruber]

Dont mind Clough coming in provided we have exhausted the Allan route.

Why havent we gone public with a bid or are we scared to deal with them now? If they are going to be spiteful about it would rather that was played out for all to see

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

As the OP I've had similar thoughts myself. :wink:

The problem when a thread turns into a car crash is it attracts a lot of rubbernecking.

We still have 2.5 weeks of the window to go, will this thread make it?

Was there not a journalist putting a rumour about a target for hibs today or are we just concentrating on galloots moaning at each other

[Speedway]

Oh yeah, I’d forgotten about FR.

Also what happened to Gramo?

Anyway, centre mids. If neither Mulumbu nor Kamara cane iff, who would fit the bill?

[Speedway]

Eh?

The defense rests.

[Speedway]

Zach Clough for Forest on loan is the name mentioned.

[blackpoolhibs]

Does anyone think we are not after Scott Allan now, especially with Hyndman in, Mallan in and rumours of others like Clough?

Its not what i would call a priority, but would still love him back.

[J-C]

Looks like his rumour was going to be Horgan but Hibs beat him to the punch, Zach Clough was also mentioned on the Sun twitter feed.

[bigswissstriker]

I really can’t see us signing Allan, at least not till next season.

I hope we do but also now think do we necessarily need him at this point in time?

i cant see allan coming in this window, to many similar players already here, he is the better player i think but have my doubts now

I think Celtic are in the huff and are playing hard ball, we've seemingly moved quickly to fill the position we expected Allan to get. Watched the George Craig bit on telly recently and they spoke about being organised a year in advance re identifying players, I think we can see this happening now when players we can't get, others come in instead.

[HNA9]

Ok guys. As Pretty boy has said this nonsense continues then there will only be one outcome.

Singing from the same hymn sheet Gary, cant stand the thought of him signing for one of our rivals.

Nicknamed the Lanarkshire N’Golo ****e

So must be a tenacious defensive midfielder that’s very good at winning the ball back & protecting the defence

Surely we are trying to bring in Scotty Allan.

[Tug Wilson]

We had a fairly settled midfield last season, especially once Scott Allan joined.

Unfortunately we now no longer have McGinn, McGeouch and Allan.

Therefore I think that we are slightly overloading on the number of central midfielders in the squad to give us options until the best team develops.

I really felt that Scott would be back at the end of August but if we bring in Clough then suspect that we have enough players who can play that 10 role.

We desperately need a strong and more defensive midfielder to complete the squad.

Next after that would be another striker. Was going to say back up to Flo and Jamie but why not a quality player who puts real pressure on our current forwards to perform.

I think that that will be it. Provide cover from the youth team thereafter.

It is going to be interesting to see if we can mould and winning team from the squad but I am confident that Hibs will be there or thereabouts all season.

We will just have to be patient with the players and management as the team develops. Bound to be a few hiccups along the way but we must keep the faith.

Lennon is definitely going down an attack minded route. Going to be exciting.
