Winter transfer thread - repetitive discussion only (hardly any transfer news)

[calumhibee1]

Only one who was decent out of that lot was Doherty. Crap attitude mind.

Doherty was decent for us I thought. Always felt people’s opinions of him were clouded by what went on after the cup final although IMO there was players closer to home that have more to answer for than he does.

[1van Sprou7e]

Tin hat on - those signings did fine for us.

If they'd been as pish as folk are making out we'd have been relegated and knocked out the cup in the first round.

The worst thing they could have done was to reach a cup final.

Doherty is obviously a great player and did well for us, claros is the same to a lesser extent

O'Donovan did decent but Soares and kujabi were mostly pish

[matty_f]

It's a disgrace that clubs from the USA can sign players already and we still haven't announced anyone. Noticed Falkirk have signed someone today as well, so that's only got me more annoyed.

It's the Hibs way, suddenly nothing happened but mind you it happened suddenly ! It's almost as if the club is putting two fingers up to the fans, not a cheep from anyone, they would be greeting their eyes out if we held back ST money until the last day !

Unless he hands in a transfer request and tries to force a permanent move.

EDIT: I read the statement and there's a bit where McCall says that players who sign pre-contracts "will also be informed that pre contracts in Scotland are not recognised by the SFA and are therefore worthless." What's that about?

Perhaps means if any of them sign a pre contract with another Scottish club it’s not officially recognised by the SFA? Absolutely no clue though. Never heard of it before.

Don't worry he's on our radar :agree:

[One Day Soon]

Agree with that.

2 strikers
2 central midfielders
1 winger

Not sure I see us getting all of that though.


Plus the catering staff. If we don't strengthen there this window it's a disgrace.

[My_Wife_Camille]

He’s scored way more than 5! Closer to 15 probably

[Diclonius]

He's scored 10 and half of them have been against us.

[calumhibee1]

Mackay-Steven has scored 5 goals for Aberdeen, have they all been against Hibs?

He scored 9 last season alone? Not sure what he has this year.

[One Day Soon]

They're probably deliberately dragging it out to save a day or two wages and that.

It's worse than that, they log on here and just target the pet obsessions and irrational ravings of a select band of posters to make sure they are doing exactly the opposite of what those posters want. Or something.

Just watched a sky interview with Lenny on twitter. Neil seems confident Gauld is in, and he'll be involved in the game tomorrow. It's just delayed with having to sort things out with Lisbon.
He said he's not been in contact with Celtic about Morgan, but said he is a type of player that would be welcomed.

I said before Gauld was on a season long loan at Farense, this contract will have to be agreed to be terminated by them, paperwork will then have to go back to Sporting before they can then sign it off to us, our problem is Portuguese FA could be really slow in getting things like this done and we'll just have to wait for paperwork.

O'Donovan did decent but Soares and kujabi were mostly pish

Doherty did well.

Kujabi also did very well for us. Sadly the only evidence that now exists is footage of a certain free kick and memories of a horrific cup final.

Soares and O'Donovan served a purpose and were an improvement on what we already had.

Claros was decent enough during that spell and very good when his loan was extended.

They came into a crap squad and improved it.

Put it this way - if our January business this year improves us as much as those players did then we should have a decent season.

He was nothing special when at hibs. Perhaps it was his attitude. It is in the past so barely worth discussing. Except to suggest that we don't confuse the player he has become with the one that turned out for us.

As for the others. Kujabi was found out pretty early on. Claros was always overrated - especially when you consider some of our recent midfield. He did a decent job for us at the time tough.

You’re thinking of Garry O’Connor.

Doherty’s ‘dont care’ statement was a reaction to dog’s abuse on Twatter. It wasn’t his general attitude during his loan spell. But hey, if you can take prolonged abuse from a multitude of ****holes without losing your rag and digging back, you’re a better man than most of us.

[J-C]

I have a feeling Allan might have came but with Sunderland being quoted it's a non goer, hopefully Gauld fills the creative gap which Lennon has already mentioned 're Gauld. Notice he spoke about Cummings and Griffiths, don't know if it was wishful thinking on his part or a wee tease.

But then I'm no expert. Gauld is ready to play Allan would take a while to get up to speed. It's all about a blend.

I think Nl would love to have that problem. The fact he never mentioned Allan in his BBC interview suggests it's very much on and the Morgan one is unlikely to happen. Any business with celtic is very likely to be awkward after the sjm transfer so could take a lot of delicate negotiations.

[J-C]

We got Hyndman in as thr creative player, I'm now thinking Gauld has become available and is an easier option than trying to do business with Celtic and Lennon has just said he'll offer us that creativity we've missed.

My interpretation was the complete opposite regards Allan & Morgan. But what do I know? There’s a lot of bluff and double bluff involved at this time of year. Maybe Lennon is fed up being asked about Allan and let’s journos know in advance (especially non challenging ones like BBC Brian). Maybe he knows it won’t happen or maybe talks are at an advanced stage and he doesn’t want to let the cat out of the bag.
I also thought Jack Ross would be more likely to go for Morgan than Allan since he did so well for him at St Mirren.

[OtleyHibs]

Double, even treble his current wages might convince him though.

Couldn’t blame him really but at the same time maybe he’s more eager to play regular football at a club where he will be loved and try and kickstart his career whilst being closer to his kid.

We may not pay as well as some other clubs but he wouldn’t be poor playing for the Hibs and he has earnt plenty sitting out at other places.

Far too good a player to have done what he has since he was last here and football is a short career. No better place for him to kickstart his career (again) and I’m hopeful he will think the same way 👍

[SirDavidsNapper]

Can't see Allan moving to Sunderland. He's got a young laddie so can't see him moving down away from him.

If Sunderland don't go up this season it'll be another change of manager and player clear out.

I don't think we will sign him either. The reasons are that Celtic will not make it easy and he will want too much money. Given that he went to Celtic for more money and has hardly played a game it is pretty obvious that his only motivation is money as it is with all players today.

Can’t see us signing Allan this window at all. Reckon we’ll take Gauld as his type and revisit it when he’s a free agent in the summer. Celtic won’t deal with us i reckon either which is why Hyndman and Gauld are being targeted imo.

The main worry is here we are again nearly 2 weeks into the Window and all we’ve had is exits and injuries. We were far too slow in the summer and for whatever reason its looking similar. Plenty of time to go but I had hoped for 1 or 2 by now at least.

Does Ryan Gauld actually exist? I’m beginning to think he’s like Keyser Soze In The Usual Suspects

[SirDavidsNapper]

I don't believe for a second Celtic wouldn't deal with us. Footballs a buisness. If we made an acceptable bid for Allan they'd accept just like we accepted their acceptable bid for McGinn. It won't be long before they want another Hibs player (possibly Porteous) and it'll be the same again. I'd be staggered if Celtic were in the huff with us.

6 months contract left don't think it would take a big offer to get a player that hasn't had first team game in how long?

Dylan McGeouch

IIRC Dylan’s wages are not that great this year, but he does have some sort of promotion clause that would see him get a pay rise, so I guess if the Allan rumours are true and they are after him, they could offer a similar deal?

Then it’s whether Allan is willing to take the risk of signing and not getting promoted and therefore a wage increase.

What’s an acceptable bid?

The value of the remainder of Scott Allan’s contract is estimated at £8000 p.w.. which equates to £416,000 p.a. so are you saying that we should’ve stumped up a bid + that?

[jacomo]

I don't think we will sign him either. The reasons are that Celtic will not make it easy and he will want too much money. Given that he went to Celtic for more money and has hardly played a game it is pretty obvious that his only motivation is money as it is with all players today.

Offering that might make sense if you Celtic wanted to keep Allan and he was playing for them.

Right now that's what he's draining from Celtic with no benefit to them. We'd be saving them that money if he left now rather than the summer.

Probably can’t blame him but he’ll be taking a risk career-wise going down south again where it already hasn’t worked out for him twice

You realise Allan still gets full pay when out on loan, yes he's playing but not to the detriment to his pocket.

Of course he does. But if it was only about the money then why even bother going out on loan to play?

He'd already got the move for more money. Why not just sit on the bench and enjoy it? Think all this 'Allan only cares about the money' stuff is wrong.

If all he wanted to do was play football, then last summer he could've easily negotiated a deal to leave Celtic and join us at a lesser wage, again this could still be done now, he's obviously unwanted there and I'm sure Celtic would be happy to get him off their wage bill but so far we've heard nothing but gossip and hearsay and nothing about Allan actually wanting out of Celtic, if he was so desperate to just play, why is he not banging doing their doors asking to be released.

[Souter96Mac]

I was bored last night and had a look on YouTube for this team we're playing today. It seems they've got a Brazilian lad Fabio Lima who looks a decent player. No rumour whatsoever but will be interesting to see how he does up against us today.

[B.H.F.C]

He’s made two permanent moves to bigger clubs, with the potential to play at a higher level than the club he was leaving. Money would have came with those moves but Allan could quite easily have moved for footballing reasons as well, ie the opportunity to play at a higher level. It’s just that he’s fallen short with both Celtic and WBA when he has made those moves.

[Pretty Boy]

There has been a long standing frustration from some posters on here that almost any black player we sign is lazily compared to another black player regardless of similarity in playing style.

Perhaps read in that context the posts above will make far more sense. I see them as a comment, or criticism, on the casual or unintentional 'racism' of others rather than carrying any racist intent themselves.

In saying that it's probably time to move on from the joke now as it's evidently upset a few people, not everyone will have seen the previous discussion on this so it may well have been taken out of context and come across poorly.

[Smartie]

I think there is a bit of a misunderstanding, an honest and genuine one that is very easy to make.

There is a bit of an in-joke going on following on from a thread a while ago.

It would be very easy to see a lot of this and assume that that there is racism going on but the truth is actually the opposite - it is an attempt to mock and ridicule racism and racists.

I have a very low tolerance of racism indeed (none actually) and I would never seek to excuse anything of a racist nature but I don't believe there is anyone honestly being racist here, although I accept that it might not look the case.

TBH it might look pretty bad.......

[SirDavidsNapper]

We really need to make a signing for the sake of this thread :rolleyes:

[malcolm]

There appear a lot of unsavoury looking comments appearing on this re Mulumbu this morning. Light hearted or not, they have no place in modern society and I encourage admins to act please. If it's what it looks like I'm actually disgusted.

If you adopt a colour by numbers pro forma approach to the identification of racist intent and racist minds then you would perhaps be right. A problem with such an approach is that it also encompasses that which is not. I don’t know if there is any more than a sense of humour (that might also have applied to ginger/bearded/balding characteristics) and neither do you so your ‘disgust’ is a product of your own imagination.

As a society we can’t move forward till skin pigment can take its place alongside other trivial physical characteristics and be subject to innocent jocularity without discomfort and without mock outrage :wink:

I think we failed to adequately replace our best ever ginger forward:greengrin

So you're making exactly the same point as the people you are complaining about then?

Their posts were sarcastically comparing the players for exactly the reasons you mention based on previous conversations that have taken place.

[Captain Trips]

I agree we need a signing to get this back on track.

[leithsansiro]

Hmmm, I’m not sure some of those posts are satire to be fair. There are suspiciously dodgy undercurrents and the same jokes wouldn’t be getting made, satirically or not, about players who are white. It sounds a bit like a excuse for a bit of casual lazy racism.

[calumhibee1]

It’s not if you’re comparing them on footballing ability and they are similar players.

The issue that people are taking the piss out of though is that some black players have been compared to other black players who are totally different players. Think Mark Milligan being compared to Scott Allan or something along those lines and that’s the kind of comparisons we’ve saw made with black players.

That is what the poster was saying, there was a thread where one poster tried to say one certain black player was the same as another even though they played in a different position, he was shot down for doing so. MWC was doing the same with all his usual style and it wasn't picked up that he was having a wee dig because certain posters haven't seen the original thread.

Yes thread relevance is clearly a fair point. However given the serious nature of what was being discussed - and frankly the total lack of anything actually transfer related to discuss - it would IMO have been more sensible to let that discussion play out. Apart from anything else it will almost certainly happen again now in a future thread since the misinterpretation/ correct interpretation was not debated to its conclusion.

Central midfield, was more of a sitting player in England IIRC but showed some brilliant technical ability at Killie, so very much an engine room all rounder.

A final word on this.

The posts were deleted because it was one of those arguments in which no one is going to shift their position so it becomes a tiresome cycle of the same points over and over again. I don't think the accusation of racism had any basis and I absolutely got the joke but for someone looking in without context it could have read differently.

There was a situation 2 or 3 years ago that saw an EEN columnist perform an absolute hatchet job on the Bounce because he dug up a thread on there from years before in which a few people were making satirical comments about supporting Combat 18 and similar. They received an apology but it was a pretty grim experience for them and I think we'd all rather similar didn't happen here.

Yeah it was painful to watch. Can only imagine how the Sunderland fans felt watching it. I bet it was similar to us pre Dempster.

What we really need is the guy from Facebook who used to hide in the bushes at East Mains.

He is taking up position in Dubai:

Celtic won't even talk to us about him
We can't afford his wages now that Championship clubs are interested
His legs are gone
I bet we wait until the final day and then sign a poor alternative on loan
Lennon just doesn't have an eye for quality guys who hide in bushes (apart from that one window)
We've already got loads of guys who can play the hiding in bushes position
Scott Allan's not interested in hiding in bushes anymore, he just wants the money.

I thought he signed for Celtic in the summer, what other team?

Whoops you are correct

Maybe we should look at Pedro Caixinha he is not bad in bushes.

I doubt it. Sunderland looked like indecisive tools. You can level many accusations at Petrie but I don't think indecisive or disorganised would be fair.

Who was they guy they had on their books at 70-odd thousand a week and who wouldn't play? Have they got rid of him yet?

[Hibeewilly]

So Lewis Morgan and Cummings are the latest rumours ...

Cummings has been offered to Hibs by his agent but Lennon isnt interested. That could change of course if we don't get our targets and are still scrambling for a striker at the end of the window. That is definitely the position just now though.

So page 125 of the Thread , Day 11 of Transfer Window and No Signings yet Plenty Rumours and names being banded about though
Gauld is all but completed and may even be announced today and 20 days left to do Business
Interesting Lennon hasn’t mentioned Scott Allan If he is now having to look at Lewis Morgan as Boyles replacement we know there will be other Clubs interested in him If Aberdeen are loosing G M S as has been suggested else where it’s a cert they would want Morgan
So don’t see Morgan s situation being sorted out early unless he now fancies teaming up with R G and will know he is guaranteed game time with us Could be enough to persuade him Although would of been better if we had Ben in the top six at the Break
I have no doubt the Club are working hard behind the scenes and have no doubt we will sign a number of players
But losing Effie and Boyle have made a difficult task even more so for Lennon and his back room staff
We need to aim for players of the Quality of Morgan but the Club will be realistic to know we may not get our first picks in and the balance is when to move for other players if there is still a chance of getting first choices in
The Elon game takes care of itself but two tricky away ties in League that we really could do with winning await after that
A few key players in before those would be great
But equally a fit scoring David Gray would be a bonus and Porteous back fit with his scoring threat as well
The Man City Winger hasn’t been relaeased so wonder if he is nearing fitness
Was never for first team but did we eventually sign Tommy Block

Moan The Hibees Lets get back into the Too Six and take it from there

Cummings, Griffiths, and Morgan is the headline EEN are running with at the moment.

I think they'd all be good additions, although I'm not sure I can see us getting any of them for various reasons. :dunno:

Interesting, though I really don't think Cummings is the type of player we need right now. Having said that if he ended up at Hearts you just know he'd score against us in derby after derby after derby.

[Heisenberg]

Looks like paperwork delays are going to mean Gauld misses the game today.

Where's Daffy?

I don't see why 2/3 isn't out of the question...
