Summer transfer thread

[NOLA]

Rumour has it he’s a hibs fan....

Nah, he’s defo a puddledrinker

[matty_f]

There's no chance we're signing McLaughlin.

[Dashing Bob S]

There's no chance we're signing McLaughlin.

Don’t want him or need him but if it winds up Los Puddlelinos then he must and will come.

[Ryan69]

Theres absolutely no chance we are in a position to have an international goalie on the bench every week.
Wont happen sorry.

[Scooter]

Your forgetting Lennon has said Ofir may need surgery on a finger

[18Craig75]

I’m sure I heard McGlaughlin doesn’t like Potter a while back. Together with the reported interest in Marciano from Israel, perhaps there could be mileage in it.

FWIW I think Marciano is better, but it would be great to take the jambos best player [emoji3]

Could be a short term deal while Marciano recovers.

[brog]

We won’t sign anyone until the board knows if we are selling SJM, keeping McGeouch, selling Marciano signing Mallan, Kamberi would be my 1st signing though

Yes we will.

And



Cifti to leave Celtic on 30th June according to Celtic

[Stuart93]

If that's the standard of player hearts are signing this summer they'll be nowhere near us next season

[HibbiesandtheBaddies]

Nah, he’s defo a puddledrinker


He moved abroad at the age of one, and says his family are all Hibbies, but with him living abroad was never really a die hard hibby.

No mention of supporting Hearts, which you reckon he would have mentioned since he was joining them


#######
The 29-year-old was born in Edinburgh but moved to the Middle East with his parents before his first birthday.

And there Hibees-supporting dad Paul and mum Margaret tried to bring him up as a follower of the Leith club.

So McLaughlin admits the news he was joining the Jambos came as a SHOCK to a number of family members.

And he expects a rough ride from a few of them before the first derby of the season on October 24.

He said: “Some of the conversations have been a little bit awkward!

“My whole family, parents, uncles, aunties, the lot, are all from Edinburgh — and the majority are from the Hibs side, I’ve got to say!

“I was born here but we very quickly moved to the Middle East for my dad’s work in Saudi Arabia and lived there until I was about 11, then moved back to England.

“And growing up, with the parents and uncles who were Hibs fans, that was who I would look out for.

“Having never lived here, having never been given the opportunity to go and support any Scottish side, I’m certainly less of a diehard Hibee.

“I’ve never experienced going to Easter Road or Tynecastle to even watch a game.

No issues with that, I'd rather wait to get the right player and very few clubs are making decent signings at the moment.

However, Kamberi is the one that would concern me given we have until 14th June to tie that up. I suppose that 13th June would count as mid June but the longer it drags on the more I worry that his heads been turned.

[007]

Plus, the Scottish transfer window doesn't actually open until 9th June though I appreciate you can get contracts signed but just can't register the player until after the window is open.

Maybe we've got a deal or two completed but are waiting until they are registered before announcing them. Even if we haven't, I trust Lennon, Leeann and George to do a good job this window just like they did in January.

Why would SJM go there? Why would Hibs accept a fee that may never be paid?

Yup, this story shows how much of a joke the press are. I remember stories about Rangers planning on spending millions before they went bust. Unless they get a massive cash injection or sell Grealish for an astronomical sum Villa won't be signing anyone.

[Souter96Mac]

No chance Villa will be bringing anyone in at this current time. It could be worth us looking into some of their players, that would be affordable for us.

I read in The Times this morning that AV still owe about £11M for transfers in previous seasons. More likely that the FA will be looking at a transfer ban until they've paid what they're due to other clubs, surely?

Honestly CWG his writing style doesn't bother me - I know its unusual but I am more interested in the content and despite claims to the contrary a good deal of what he says actually does come to pass although it may take time.

it is only a good deal if we get the right money for McGinn and importantly don't get stiffed for Scott Allan who in the last 6 seasons has only played 72 matches if you don't count his brief spells at Hibs. In those 72 matches he has been mainly guff. Celtic want rid of him. All things considered we should not be taking Scott as a large part of the McGinn transfer. Scott is a great player in a team that is on top but ineffective in a team up against it like Dundee were last season. There is a risk that he could struggle in a team without McGinn and McGeouch doing their thing.

He is the best fit for our current midfield but the loss of the 2 McG's could be a game changer for the midfield if we don't get the right guys in.
Obviously Lennon will know this and will be putting a plan in place but it will be a challenge.
To be clear I want us to sign him but don't want Celtic to take advantage of our enthusiasm to get Scott.

FWIW i think we will get Kamberi for certain, the cat says we will get Mallen which is good enough for me, and i think we will get Scott Allan.

Believe McLaren won't be coming due to a combination of his high wages and his parent club holding all the aces since they avoided relegation.

Our German based Hibees will know better, however with Gerrard, Rodgers and Lennon competing together next season there will be more buzz around Scottish football next season in particular and probably a wider media exposure. I'm not sure how much media (beyond Germany) the second tier of their football gets, although I'd imagine the standard is still high even in their lower league.

It may be in Darmstadt's interests for Jamie to come to us on a full season loan and then they can 'cash in' if he has a good season with us and continues with his fine scoring rate (as I think he'd have another year to run on his German contract). We may have to pay more of his wage...........but that's what I would be considering.

Mind knowing our luck Jamie will rattle in a couple of belters in the World Cup and have loads of potential suitors thereafter :boo hoo:

No, there was no such rumour. He had a clause in his contract that he'd be released/sold if they went down.

He's done well with us and is now in the Aussie WC squad.

Of course they would want him back to start preseason training. If they like what they see, they'll keep him, if they don't, he'll be up for sale.

[Heisenberg]

Kamberi put up an Instagram picture half an hour ago and it certainly doesn’t look like Edinburgh

If you’re on about the picture on his IG story then it’s just him and what seems to be his brother sitting on a sofa? Tbf, he doesn’t even need to be in Edinburgh to complete a deal.

It’ll be good to have an end to all of the Kamberi speculation by the 14th.

Yes he does, they both share the flat together. My ex boss works for the company who rents it.

Suggests they're either valueing allan and the loan at more than £1m or valueing SJM at under £3m, both of which seem like crap deals to me.

Anyone else getting gloating Jambos boasting about signings? I just had the pet office Jambo asking me if I wanted him to go round at the weekend and see if he could rustle us up some players. He scuttled back under his rock when I told him that free transfer bench warmers from relegated Partick Thistle was nothing to boast about. I also asked him what happened the last time they signed 10 players at once, mumbled some pish about Cathro and walked away.

Maybe he's the guy that's been rustling up the random freebies they've picked up from the hundreds that are out there?

Does he look like John Colquhoun and have a large van with bench seats in it for delivery of bulk orders of players?

Simple fans, no wonder Romanov got away with it.

I think some folk have been doing that since there was talk of Leigh Griffiths signing for us again a few years ago.

Tell them to bolt for that kimd of offer. Much rather try and get £3-£4 million down south and then do a deal for Allan.

Allan is in the same boat as Ciftci where he is not wanted at celtic and they would rather have him off the wage bill. We need to make as much cash as possible.

If Allan was indemand at celtic I can understand a high valuation of him, but this is celtic just trying to get SJM on the cheap and expecting a scottish club to bite their hand off for a couple of million.

We are not desperate for the cash thanks to our well run club so we should brave and hold out for a better deal and then go to celtic and do a deal for allan even if we have to pay £500k.

If it's common knowledge hibs sell sjm down south for north of say,£3m, why wouldn't Celtic just demand a high fee for Allan?

They know we want him. They know we've just had a cash windfall. As far as they are concerned, he's costing them very little in wages so can sit in the stand all year round.

I don't think hibs are in a position to accept a large transfer, give a third of it to the buddies, and then potentially be bent over a barrel for Scott. I think Celtic would be difficult to deal with if he's not incorporated into a sjm deal.

Celtic hold all the cards when it comes to SA and it's no surprise they're using him as a makeweight in any potential McGinn deal, common sense to do so. Rumours that the deals already done, but I'd rather see him test himself down south.

I still think they bought Allan just to piss off Sevco, Allan just hasn't worked out for them and won't be on huge wages, Rodgers mentioned in an interview that he was a good lad and sometimes certain players seem to fit at certain clubs. They have an abundance of midfielders so Allan will be excess to their needs, they'll want him off their books and will also know that we can still give them a good challenge without Allan in our team.

I agree in parts that they brought in Allan to annoy the Rangers. They were probably hoping he'd have more of a playing impact at Celtic than be actually did. Id be pleasantly surprised if they are easy to deal on Scott if they don't get McGinn. Hopefully we'll see Allan lining up for us in the Europa league soon, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's a long drawn out affair.

Also, with Allan in our team we may continue to regularly take points off The Rangers thus weakening the so-called challenge from the other side of Glasgow. It doesn't necessarily suit Celtic to keep everyone else in the league weak...

I think celtic would hold all the cards if SA had even a small glimpse of a future there. I understand celtic may be a nightmare to deal with if we don’t play ball but I think £2 million and SA is selling ourselves short.

They signed brown from us for £4.4 million and that has turned out to be the best bit of business they have ever done. SJM is in a similar position at the moment.

Celtic sign players for a few million, give them a few games in the SPL and champions league and the English clubs suddenly realise they have pedigree and figures of £10-20 million are banded around. Now I am not saying SJM is worth those sort of figures-not in the slightest, but SJM is at a similar level to Scott brown when he was here-Scotland caps etc, and I just think £2 million plus a player celtic don’t rate isn’t a great deal for hibs.

If it was £3 million, SA and a loan player I think that would be a good deal. Or £4 million down south, offer celtic £500k-which I’m sure they would accept and we are still better off. Celtic would not turn down an offer for SA given they have made their feelings known regarding his situation. Either way we are still better off financially.

I suppose whatever if we end up at, i trust LD, RP and Lennon to have brokered the best deal for us.

Totally agree with your last sentence👍 the clubs is in good hands.

I don't think McGinn/brown transfers can be compared as they're over 10 years apart and, correct me if I'm wrong, brown had a lot more time to run on his hibs deal? I think £3m and Scott Allan would be a good deal, I'd prefer a larger fee and sell on clause down south but we will see what comes to pass.

I think a lot of people are forgetting that McGinn has little interest in going to Celtic, he sees his career down south with a bigger challenge down there, Celtic is an easy option for someone like John but having spoken to him a few times, he wants to challenge himself against top opposition down south.

NEIL LENNON is plotting a summer swoop for Dunfermline defender Ryan Williamson.


The 22-year-old caught the eye of the Hibs boss with his performances for the Championship side last season.


And the Easter Road club are now trying to put together a package that will tempt the Fifers to do business.


Dunfermline want at least £100,000 compensation for the right back, who has a year left of his contract to run.


That figure has already scared off Dundee United, who have already raided their rivals for Fraser Aird and Nicky Clark.

[patlowe]

I think SJM will (rightly) back himself wherever he goes so I can't imagine he would make a decision based on one club having a particularly good midfield. If he's going to make it at the top level he's going to have to dislodge good players regardless anyway.

In terms of England, players go from Celtic to a good level down South all the time. It's a great place to get Champions League exposure and a bigger move would come his way if he earns it.

I'm not desperate for him to go to Celtic BTW, I just think imagining SJM is going to automatically dismiss a move west and go to the English Championship instead is probably wishful thinking.

Only if the conversation had gone that way, it was a good 30 minute convo with a coffee, it was general football talk and moving on was just part of it, he said he fancied the EPL and playing against top players down there, this was at the start of the season so he may have changed his mind by now.

So what you're saying is he's either telling the truth or lying?

Either way.. It's either a fact or nonsense.

Mate at no time have I said it was a fact all I did was pass on what I heard. If you want to believe it please do if you don’t dont. Either way It doesn’t effect me. I personally hope he goes south as I don’t want him playing against us.

What if celtic are not really that fussed about signing John? They may have a slight interest but maybe don't see him as a priority. I really hope if he leaves it's to a decent English club

Well they should be. McGinn is the kind of player that would transform the Sevco midfield. Celtic need to sign him just to stop him going to Hunbrox, and will likely make a few quid when he moves on in 2 years time to the EPL.

No, you said it was a rumour.. But if you heard it from a mate who heard it from family then surely its not a rumour if you trust your mate?

[JimboHibs]

Think we have to be careful we don't miss out on signing Scott Allen. Stubbs likes him and may well fancy signing him for St Mirren

You worry too much.

The only thing sjm has said is he is happy to stay another year and will only move if the deal suits both parties. One stumbling block if Allan is part of the deal is do St mirren get a quarter of the fee or a quarter of the fee which includes Allan's value. Fwiw my info it's 25% St mirren are due. I've a feeling sjm will be here till the end of our European campaign and if that means he stay here until at least January so be it. I'd rather have him for a season than haggle over the fee. If we have Allan, sjm, slivka, Marvin, Marvin and malan fighting for midfield spots we have a damn good side. IMHO of course.

[Smartie]

Can't say I've seen him play but couple Pars fans I know really rate him. Anyone know if he can play RCB in a 3 or are we looking to play 4 at the back next season?

Whenever I've seen him play he's looked more like a winger playing at RB.

Brilliant driving forward in possession, iffy final ball and a bit suspect defensively. Huge potential though and tbh he's always stood out as a player I'd have wanted Hibs to be in for.

Never a RCB for me though.

I'd be surprised if Stubbs didn't want Scott Allan but I'd be even more surprised if he wanted to go to St Mirren instead of Hibs.

Agree with this, seen him quite a few times last season and think he'd be a decent addition for a smallish price, talk if S.Muray being involved in a swap deal. Don't know if he's quite ready for the jump up but hopefully learns but from Whittaker and gray aswell.

Allan ended up getting publicly criticized by Stubbs at Rotherham for a lack of effort. No chance he'd go for him.

Fair enough. Scotty and Hibs are a perfect fit for each other so hopefully we get the deal done.

Correct, Allan let him down.

[Michael]

No, Aubameyang couldn’t play for Arsenal has he was in the Dortmund champions league squad last year. Unless they have changed the rules since.

Aubameyang was a weird edge case - he couldn't play for Arsenal in the Europa because Dortmund came 3rd in the CL group.

[Paloschi]

So apparently we've signed Allan, Mallan and Kamberi but Hibs cba telling us #announcehooper

[Hibbyradge]

So many slavers.

So little time.

[madhatter]

Is Ryan Williamson looking like a goer? Think he would be a great signing for RB and give us a bit of youth in the defence.

glad to see somebody pick up on a genuine transfer rumour.

We are so consumed by Kamberi,Mallan,Allan and whether Mcginn plays for us and then is maybe cup tied for Celtic in Europe, that we can't focus on a potential signing that might actually improve us. Hope the guy signs. Happy transfer window folks! [emoji3]

Just the sort of signing we should be looking at👍

I know one of the pitchside photographers and he was telling me that Dylan underestimated how hard it would be to leave. He's only got one firm on the table and thats from us so he may very well stay. He also said that McGinn doesn't want to leave without giving us a transfer fee and again could sign another contract to ensure that happens, similar to Cummings situation. Just passing on what I've heard

It's clear Dylan has an affection for the Club and supporters and we have stood by him The Club have upped their offer several times and to date he hasn't signed If we keep offering him more the wage structure goes out the window He has a final offer on the table so it's up to him to accept it or move on We need to know who is going, to plan ahead properly and decide which new targets are our priority especially if Lennon is targeting the group stages of European Football
Mcginn will also want St Mirren to do well out of his move which is why I am surprised he hasn't signed a new deal even if he still moves on at the end of the Season

No offence,but it's difficult to understand how a photographer would be in the know.

Granted. But unlike reporters, they're really only there once a fortnight, and not at all in the close season.

Thought Blackburn may go back in for Efe with them now back in the championship. Can't see Plymouth interesting Efe.

If that was the 5-5 game, then I'm not sure any defenders were shown in their best light...

Plymouth will have some more money to spend after going up to League One but look at the guys in their squad that have played up here - Gregg Wylde, Jamie Ness, Lionel Ainsworth, Graham Carey, Yann Songo'o & Kyle Letheren. Not exactly top drawer and surely not on big wages.

Certainly not an Efe class club.

I think the big man will be with us next season.

Plymouth stayed in League 1 last year. All the non premier league teams benefit from an increased TV deal from season 2019 though. Big bucks, which unless we get better, will mean another flow of players from Scotland, to Championship and below clubs

They’ll get £600m over 5 years. Think the Scottish deal is currently worth less than £19m per season

I’m glad he was at the Rangers game as Efe had his worst game in a Hibernian shirt that day.

As frustrated as we all are ,waiting for news. Imagine being in the hibs directors room trying to plan.

Not knowing if we are to loose :
Dylan
John mcginn
Kamberi
Mclaren
Effe
Allan

It's a frightening thought which needs resolved next week at the latest if we have to to replace some or all and be ready for European football.

Very odd post - you begin by correctly pointing out the complexity of the situation and then you want to boil it down to an over simplification like the bit in bold.

It's not a case of fixing one thing and I'd be shocked (and to be fair awe inspired) if that's all sorted out next week.
I'll be happy if even 2 of the above are resolved.
