So, that's the season officially over and the silly season begun. A lot of out of contract players, a lot of interest in other players, hopefully we have the budget to hold on to some players and sign good quality replacements.

Thomas Agyepong, one year loan (winger, Man City)
Adam Bogdan, one year loan (goalkeeper, Liverpool)
Daryl Horgan, three year contract (winger, Preston)
Emerson Hyndman, six month loan (midfielder, Bournemouth)
Florian Kamberi, three year contract (striker, Grasshoppers)
Stevie Mallan, four year contract (midfielder, Barnsley)
Jamie Maclaren, one year loan (striker, Darmstadt)
Mark Milligan, two year contract (midfielder, Al Ahli)

Confirmed new contracts
None

Confirmed out
Cammy Bell (Partick)
Callum Crane (Livingston)
Scott Martin (Hamilton)
Dylan McGeouch (Sunderland)
John McGinn (Aston Villa)
Simon Murray (Bidvest Wits)

Don’t see Maclaren or Barker being here though.

Heard Ali Crawford is likely to sign, heard from a couple of completely different sources.

Latest one being a Hamilton player who is on loan at Bo'ness, been a lot of Hamilton players on loan over the years due to McGonnigal having ties with both clubs.

Crawford spent a season on loan to Bo'ness when he was 17.

Was Crawford not at Hearts around that age?

Thought I read he always liked getting it right up the Hearts as he got released from them at 16/17 year old.

A lot of our good play starts with him because he’s so composed on the ball.

Has been consistently very good IMO. No where near a bombscare. Personally think he should not have been played centrally in a 3 yesterday as he can be loose and not great in 50/50 challenges however his use of the ball is superb the vast majority of the time.

14-05-2018, 12:18 PM
Efe is the sort of player that many are quick to point out his flaws because he is a bit casual. The amount of times his composure builds an attack and headers he wins from defensive areas are unreal.

He’s played out of position for the main part of the season and has still been very good overall.

It will be a tough job replacing him.

Seems unable to shed the bombscare tag with some folks. He has made less mistakes than our other defenders who rarely attract the same ire. I think he has been tremendous for us, we have been lucky to have a player of that quality at Easter Road, and he is a genuine footballer - his composure and ability to read the game has kicked off many of our best attacks this year.

Assuming McGinn and McGeouch are lost causes, here's my view on the possible ins/outs:


Kamberi - PRIORITY. The boy has everything; strength, speed, skill, composure, aggression, arrogance. Take into account his age and we could have a huge asset on our hands. If we're stretching the budget for anyone I think it should be him.
Barker - He's obviously not going to be in the first team at City and I don't think he's ready for the bigger clubs down south yet. City will surely see the strides he's made here so I would be pushing them for another year. Purely speculation on my part but I don't see why that's beyond the realms of possibility.
Allan - As seen in the first half yesterday, when he is on it he is unplayable and he would obviously be a brilliant signing. But Celtic are not going to let him go for nothing and he would have to take a huge wage cut to come to us permanently so I'm struggling to see it.
Efe - I love him but if the rumours are true re Chinese money then bite their hand off and reinvest in keeping Flo et al.
McLaren - Pretty brutal touch and link-up play but you just cannot teach the instinct he has for finding space and scoring goals. Would like to seem him stay but, with his team staying up, I can't see it happening TBH.
Naismith - I agree with an earlier poster that he would be a great signing and potentially available at a knock down price with County going down. If Efe is away that takes away one of our RB options as well.
Mallan - Very talented player but perhaps didn't have the physique for the Championship down there. I can see why he might now fancy coming into this Hibs team over playing in League 1 for Barnsley, so let's hope it's a goer. A midfield of Slivka, Allan and Mallan has a lovely ring to it doesn't it?
Crawford - Not seen enough to judge.
Mulumbu - Has there been any chat on where he's ending up? Probably not a long term solution but would certainly fit nicely into our team for a year or two and help make up for the likely losses in midfield. He's too old for a really big move now so maybe we would be an attractive option.



As an aside, you've got to hope that Porteous and Shaw will be ready to contribute more regularly and help to plug those gaps in the squad. I would add Fraser Murray to that list but you worry he's not quite getting enough first team games under his belt at this stage.

The ITK guys seem to think Kamberi is a done deal as is Allan, possibly just sorting out the finer details of their buy outs and contracts, rumour is Kamberi has been house hunting with his girlfriend.
MacLaren's club and his wages may be a stumbling block, he's thoroughly enjoyed it here and would come back but we may be priced out, depends how good LD is at negotiating a deal.
Mallan would be a very good player to have, dead ball expert and intelligent midfielder, a few guys on here saying this could be a goer.
Crawford was mentioned a few weeks ago but seems to have gone quiet since, maybe the Mallan rumour has scuppered that deal.

Efe is an enigma, decent CB but has a good few lapses in concentration, at times he makes it look all too easy as he wins the ball and strolls into midfield before passing it, then in the next breath he faffs around at the back all too casually and gets himself into all sorts of bother, for me I'd rather see Porteous getting game time next season.

Sol Bamba recently was voted into Championship team of the year after winning promotion.

Bamba and Efe have their moments but if you have consistently watched Hibs since he signed you can see how well Efe has played.

David Gray while a legend is no where near the level of Efe.

The term bombscare seems to be used to describe a footballer who looks relaxed on the ball and not the rough and ready James McPake type.

Flo
Allan
Mclaren

All priority.

McGinn I expect to move to Celtic or somewhere like Leeds.

I am on the same page a J-C

Kamberi, Allan, Mallan would all make for brilliant signings.

Porteous has his breakthrough season next year and could (could) be in the Scotland set-up a year from now or 2 years from now if he handles it all and keeps improving.

Efe has been entertaining (aside from Pittodrie in December and Tynecastle in the cup) and clearly a great guy round the club. £1.5m would be mighty handy though....

14-05-2018, 01:27 PM
Ambrose probably falls into the same flawed genius category as at least Lennon & Scott Allan and depending on your perspective a few others.

If they didn't they wouldn't be anywhere near Hibs, such is their quality.

As others have said the same accusations were levelled at Sol Bamba who has made a more than decent career for himself and IMO Ambrose is a far far better footballer, although maybe less physically imposing.

If Efe goes we will miss him massively, I think Porteous has got everything to be a very good centre half but it wont be next year, it will come with time an experience and I would prefer to see him getting game time at McGregor's expense rather than Ambrose's

Sol Bamba recently was voted into Championship team of the year after winning promotion.

Bamba and Efe have their moments but if you have consistently watched Hibs since he signed you can see how well Efe has played.

David Gray while a legend is no where near the level of Efe.

The term bombscare seems to be used to describe a footballer who looks relaxed on the ball and not the rough and ready James McPake type.

Flo
Allan
Mclaren

All priority.

McGinn I expect to move to Celtic or somewhere like Leeds.

Yeh that was my point. Sol was a bombscare according many but he’s done no bad for himself since leaving. I hate the term.

Figure being quoted is £1.5million

I like Efe, but £1.5 is surely too good to turn down when we only have 1 year left on his contract. Could use that kind of money to help sign Kamberi/Maclaren

I think our best and only chance of a signing like that would be on loan with his parent club covering most of his wages. Any high profile player like that free of charge will have plenty offers offering miles more than us.

Mulumbu too old? He's 31?! He had a move to Bordeaux fall through in January, he'll leave Kilmarnock and most probably Scotland. Class player with another 3-5 seasons in him the way he looks after himself.

Of course he has football left in him. My point is you won't see a queue of huge clubs desperate to sign a 31 year old who has barely played 50 games in 3 years. I can accept he may still be out of our price range though.

I wonder if we are going for templeton. He’d be a decent enough replacement for barker perhaps.

On Efe, there is no doubting he is a very good player but if we are offered a decent fee I would take it given the fact Porteous is coming through and that gap left will hopefully mean more game time for him.

FWIW after his loan spell where he was very good I always considered McPake an utter liability. Couldn't get into the right positions for toffee and as a result he had to make lots of big committed lunging tackles which although they look impressive doesn't make for a good defender.

Efe is different class. So was Bamba.

Efe is certainly a classy player going forward, but personally I think most of his best games have been when filling in at right back. He linked well with Dylan and Boyle and was happy to stride forward himself, picking passes and being heavily involved in build up play in the opposition half. Having Boyle in front of him helped too as the squirrel is always a willing runner both going forward and tracking back, meaning there was decent cover when he did take things a bit far and lose the ball. At centre back as he was on Sunday, he looks a lot more exposed.

I still think Efe signed because Lennon and Hibs did him a favour so he could get his residency visa, 2 year deal and a wee transfer fee for his visa, he would've been out of our wage bracket coming from Celtic but a good deal for everyone.

Both Efe and McGeoch have a great ability to feint in a way that makes their opponent shift their body weight, allowing them to ghost by the opponent, where we all expect the opponent to make a tackle but that weight shift is enough to render them useless.

its often attackers who do this (Salah for example), EA and DM tend to it much deeper, but this often causes the oppositions defensive shape to be pierced.

players like Efe are a joy and heart-in-mouth to watch, I’ll be sad to see him leave. Would certainly much rather have his type as Michael Nelson types

Ambrose probably falls into the same flawed genius category as at least Lennon & Scott Allan and depending on your perspective a few others.

If they didn't they wouldn't be anywhere near Hibs, such is their quality.

As others have said the same accusations were levelled at Sol Bamba who has made a more than decent career for himself and IMO Ambrose is a far far better footballer, although maybe less physically imposing.

If Efe goes we will miss him massively, I think Porteous has got everything to be a very good centre half but it wont be next year, it will come with time an experience and I would prefer to see him getting game time at McGregor's expense rather than Ambrose's
if efe goes for 1.5million that cedric kipre at mowell would be a good investment at half a million.

Efe is great as part of a 3 but he's not a right back and it doesn't work as a 2 with him and Hanlon.

They weren’t going to say ‘all loan players will come back except Kamberi and Boab, and Jimmy, who might stay where they are cause fees are arranged’.

Until we exercise our right to buy then he will go back as they plan.

Until we exercise our right to buy then he will go back as they plan.

Are Boab and Jimmy any good?

Looks very handy. He’ll probably get snapped up quickly by a Championship club, you would think.

A few of us on here have been tracking him since his Dulwich days & IIRC one noted poster did advise Hibs of him. He's a wonderful player but is tiny, about 5 foot 4, & as you saw is completely left footed though what a left foot. I'm not sure he'll progress to Championship but doubt we would take a chance on him either, or him with us.

Agreed. Kipre is awful.

Guy on Twitter who's good at statistics and the like rates him very highly. Watches every game and has stats for winning/losing duels and pretty much every aspect of a players game.

I trust the guys judgement and he ranked Kipre as on of the top 4 defenders in the league this year.

The laddie from the building site next door was in. Huge transaction, Bacon baguettes (all with brown sauce), Rolls with sausage ( more brown sauce),
Six lattes and wait for it, a cappucino! Apple turnovers, Irn Bru, Cokes, and various other goodies.

Took ages and loads of discussions and I think, in all honesty, the assistant just guessed a price.

No football transactions or gossip though.

The laddie definitely didn't look like a footballer, but looked as if he had enjoyed a bacon butty with the best of them.

I would be interested in keeping him would make a decent sub with his pace for Maclaren ( if we sign him ) and I feel he would do well with Kembari running the line with him.

We know he’s capable of goals and I wouldn’t imagine he’ll be on much which would allow us to spend where it will be needed to bolster the squad.

I don't want to be harsh on Simon as he gave his all for us and scored some important goals. That being said, I think we've seen the difference between Kamberi and McLaren vs Murray and Stokes.

No issues with Murray being part of the squad and better players around him may well help his game but I'd be disappointed to start the season with him as our main striker.

Yeah I’d definitely agree. Don’t think he’s good enough to be starting every week for us and I’d imagine he’ll want to play games regularly. His signing was a bit of a gamble and as you say he gave us some big goals, but the goals soon dried up and he ended up losing his place to Shaw. Don’t see us keeping him.

I agree but we haven't seen Kamberi & Murray. Much though I'll always love Stokesie for that day he was a waste of a jersey this season. He played well in some games but disappeared totally in too many others. Meanwhile Murray was effectively playing up front on his own, this meant he had to be a target man, run in behind & was also expected to get on the end of crosses into the box. Jamie has had the benefit of playing beside the outstanding Kamberi who does all the hard graft & allows Jamie to be the effective goal poacher he is. Simon's still a work in progress, he's undoubtedly very raw but he has great pace & energy. I'd certainly be happy with him as a squad player, no tiring defence would look forward to him coming on in the latter stages of a game.

I can certainly remember a good few times that Simon was incorrectly flagged offside by the incompetent officials in this country - these incorrect decisions will have had an inpact on his stats and peoples perception of his skills and ability

I think we've be too light on the striker front in the last few months - if Flo or Jamie had got an injury we would have been in trouble

Lennon changes his mind quite a lot, last week being the extreme example. Marvin was a permanent fixture then never started after March. Danny had no future, now I believe he's back in favour. Lewis Allan was being released, got another year. I agree if we get a decent offer Simon will be gone but I'm not sure either of the Dundee clubs will fit that bill.
