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

[One Day Soon]

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

Can't he play as a trialist?

[SirDavidsNapper]

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?

Jack Rodwell now at Blackburn. Obscene salary for an average player.

[silverhibee]

Shankland, think once club back from dubi Hibs will step up and make move for him.

[Centre Hawf]

If we walked out of this window with Gauld, Morgan/Mulumbu, and Cummings I’d be very happy.

[Diclonius]

Shankland, think once club back from dubi Hibs will step up and make move for him.

Sounds good.

[danhibees1875]

Where's Daffy?

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

I assume Cummings and Morgan being the more realistic 2 here? I don't know what the JC/NL relationship is like and how the Celtic/Hibs relationship has played out since the SJM/SA summer shanagins which is why I thought they were maybe ambitious.

JC, Morgan, Gauld/Allan in, and a pre-contract and loan back of Shankland, would be a good window. Maybe a CB too - Halkett?:


Bogdan
Halkett Porteous Hanlon
Morgan ..........................Stevenson
Slivka Mallan Gauld
Kamberi Cummings

We could do worse than snapping up Hardie from Rangers/Livi too, even if it was only for next season along with Shankland.

[ehf]

Sounds a bit dubi-ous.

Jack Rodwell now at Blackburn. Obscene salary for an average player.

He was once a very promising player.

Hopeless for Sunderland when he did play, more question marks existed over the times when he didn't. Muscle injury after muscle injury, excellent in training then unable to play come the weekend - sound familiar?

I have a hunch that there was/ is a mental illness at play, and it got to the point that even if he was fit and able to play the baying mob at the Stadium of Light would have made it impossible for him to do so.

11 days in and no signings :rolleyes:

You are aware this isn't the transfer window bingo thread?

[Leitherhibs]

Hearing that the reason Stewart has had the Killie loan terminated is because of concrete, permanent offer(s) from 2 Scottish clubs. Could one of them be us and possibly Aberdeen?

[Hibbyradge]

No, that would be two of them. :wink:

Won't be Aberdeen, he didn't fit there last season. I'd be happy with him. But what is his best position? I thought striker when at Dundee, but seems to have played deeper since then?

Edit-didnt know he was released as a hearts youth due to height...where have we heard that one before??

[JimBHibees]

Could be Hearts (think he was there as a youngster) and Hibs and wouldnt rule out Rangers also as he has played well against them.

[Lemonade]

Can’t see Mulumbu being released but I would take him. Looked excellent at Killie.
I would gladly take Cummings back but he would need to be under strict instructions not to do that daft hand tattoo to the mouth celebration.
Can’t see us getting Leigh.

[One Day Soon]

Jack Rodwell now at Blackburn. Obscene salary for an average player.

Staggering. He was on £70,000 a week when the average wage in that League was massively below that. If he'd agreed to half his wages or just leave they could have brought in a bunch of players and almost certainly have stayed up. Refused to do so even while and after the club was laying off staff and in the context of just not playing. Horrible, horrible person.

Would tie in with Lennon saying the players we are after might be a bit more expensive. He would be a quality signing based on his form this season.

It certainly was terrible negotiation by the club, there was no clause in his contract in respect of relegation consequences.

I'm sure all the people who were made redundant by Sunderland had lifestyles that became maxed out with no wages.

This guy had been on £70,000 a week and in his time at Sunderland alone he made £14,000,000 in wages - never mind his time before that at Man City and Everton. Utterly despicable.

Cannot see us signing Gauld, Allan, Stewart and Morgan.

[The Leith Dutch]

I worry about some of the names being mentioned here.
Good players but not necessarily clear where they fit into a team with the other players we have.

The number one problem that I see is needing to fix is having a regular centre midfield duo who can own the centre of the park. Combination of work rate, tackling and passing to protect the defense and allow the attacking players to link with the strikers.

They may not be glamour signings but we need them.

Aye, hard to walk away from not playing, seeing everyone else suffering, having folk lose their jobs and watching an institution at the heart of a city going down the drain.

It's not his fault his employer thought he was worth that four years previously in an entirely different context. It is his fault he lacked the morals to do anything about it despite being clearly capable of doing so.

Alternatively he’s just a guy who honoured a contract.

Sunderland were throwing money away left, right and centre so it’s a bit daft IMO to blame Rodwell for people losing their jobs. If they had dealt with the likes of him, Kone, N’Dong over that summer things could’ve been different for them.

Or if they had signed an average keeper they could’ve stayed up.

Or if Coleman hadn’t totally mismanaged Grabban, he might have stayed and that would have kept them up. Really just a perfect storm of mismanagement across the board. Very similar to Hibs really

This is an unbelievable way to look at the situation imo. Are you honestly suggesting that he should have just ripped up his contract and made himself effectively unemployed because Sunderland were a basket case of a club who didn’t manage their finances properly?
He said he would happily move on if a club came in for him, again not his fault if nobody wanted to sign him. Sunderland, like most clubs in the EPL, are happy to chuck money about when it suits them. Totally their fault for getting relegated and not putting any clauses in contracts that wages would be reduced if so.
Bet nobody on this board would rip up their contract and make themselves unemployed just cause their boss asked them to. Madness to suggest anybody does that, regardless of whether they are on 70k or £70 per week.
Perhaps if Sunderland had sacked Adam Johnston instead of covering his crimes for over a year they could have saved £70,000 per week as that’s what he was on as well. A lot more folk to blame for the mess they are in before Jack Rodwell.

How about Hibs going for Greg Stewart who Birmingham City are trying to sell after his loan at Killie.

He would give us options up front and coming from midfield. If Hibs really want to improve their league position and squad Stewart, Allan, Gauld and Cummings would do this.

Know Gauld is a loan but I feel permanent signings are the way for a Hibs to go.

[matty_f]

That was quick, he was only just released by his Portuguese loan club.

[nonshinyfinish]

I'm hearing from a decent source (can't say who, so don't ask) that Gauld has signed.

Current signing form is comparable to the pre-relegation transfer windows of old.
18-19: 1 of....

[Borderhibbie76]

And we're off and running....welcome Ryan and hopefully the 1st of many - we need at least another midfielder, Winger and Striker in the door by end of month.

Heard a rumour that there’s a big signing on their way. Lennons been working on it for awhile. Source won’t reveal who the player is but apparently he knows folk at the club. Source downs want to say who the player is as it will jepordise the move.

I know that his rumour means absolutely nothing but it gives me hope that something is happening.

Please post the following: “Scott Allan will not sign for Hibs.” ;)

[jeffers]

The players we are being linked with are all decent and if Ryan Gauld has improved on the player he was as a youngster at Utd should be an excellent signing. However we still don't seem to be getting linked to a physical striker, someone who can actually win the ball in the air nor a midfielder who has a bit of dig about them. It would appear we are going to continue with the same style of play, with similar types of players, albeit ones players who appear to be an upgrade, a style that hasn't worked too well so far this season.

Of course we may be well be after the type of players I've mentioned, there has just been no leaks, but my concern is we may not be after players who give us a different dimension.

We’ve been linked with Tom Eaves who is in that mould. Even if we don’t necessarily sign him it looks like we are in the market for that type of player. I’d like Cummings back, but if he’s the only striker we get then I may worry a bit.

Can't believe I forgot about him, when I posted last week he looked decent in the FA cup game. I'd like Cummings back especially if there is scope for signing him permanently, but to me he's a replacement for McLaren and it would mean the latter moving on. I agree I'd also worry if Cummings was the only striker we brought in.

So strikers we've been linked with so far:
Shankland
Eaves
JC

Obviously Shankland could put in transfer request but Ayr have made it clear they don't want to sell any players, and if they do they want them loaned back for the season. So doubt itd be him at the mo.
Eaves has been playing for Gillingham recently and I think by all accounts did well in their FA cup tie the other day so probably has several suitors.
JC currently in Edinburgh.. But I think if we were close to getting him back, especially this week, the media would be all over it.

Can honestly see us announcing something completely out of the blue, by what the current rumours are going right now.

Really happy with Ryan Gauld signing. I think he will be a standout. I do think it means Scotty Allan isnt coming this window as NL basically said he wants Ryan to play the same role Scotty used to play. Also reckon that if Ryan has the impact I think he will then we have no chance of holding onto him unless we already have a deal in place with S Lisbon.

I certainly wouldn't be ruling out a deal for Scott Allan - RG is a loan, SA would be permanent.

[Vault Boy]

Really excited by the signing of Gauld. The kind of player we have an excellent record with in recent years - young, skillful, big prospect who needs some help finding their potential. Match made in heaven IMO. Now for a box to box midfielder to play with him. :aok:

Tbf Aberdeen were quite strongly linked with him in the summer so I don’t think the paranoia stemmed purely from them being in Dubai at the same time. There was also a lot of Aberdeen fans on twitter suggesting that was a possibility.

Personally I’m not sure, as a group of fans, we’ve ever recovered from the Dylan Bikey disaster.

Possibly and I would be delighted with both but NL said we were after 1 or 2 strikers and also mentioned 3 or 4 coming in which would mean only 1 more signing outside of strikers. I think he also mentioned about signing players with more robustness. Thought it was in relation to our midfield (likely a more physical striker too) but just my take on it.The 3 or 4 may have been excluding Ryan Gauld right enough.

I think NL was referring to injuries and wanting players who would play through little aches, strains and tweaks and simply want to play football, unlike 2 or 3 at the club currently.........Scott Allan has quite a decent playing record with us and Dundee, rarely injured, and is robust in that sense. Add into the mix his diabetes, managing it and playing through it, he's a robust sportsman in that sense too.

Agree with that and it does ring a bell about that interview. I do think that we need more physicality in our midfield so it's maybe a bit of my own thoughts and a poor memory coming into play. Would love to see them both play in the same Hibs team though it couldn't happen with Stevie Mallen in there also. Before reading NL thoughts on Ryan I thought he was maybe going to use him in more if a Dylan type role.

Regarding Ryan in the Dylan type role, I was hoping been could get Allan and Ryan with Allan playing the Dylan role and Ryan playing Allan role 😁

[BlackSheep]

I don’t see why folk get up in arms about this... first people moan about Celtic and Rangers ‘stealing’ all the Scottish/Scottish based talent then when we get a chance at signing some of these players we bemoan them coming from Celtic...

Yes I know there are plenty of other sources of talent but players who we know to understand the league and how to play in it and have shown promise at this level makes more sense than untested players from other leagues...?

[truehibernian]

Regarding Ryan in the Dylan type role, I was hoping been could get Allan and Ryan with Allan playing the Dylan role and Ryan playing Allan role 😁

If we get Scott then I see both RG and SA being inter-changeable - one can sit and be the link player and one can be the '10' role behind the strikers. What the team needs is genuine pace and width to compliment their style and play. Horgan should be played as a winger as that is where he is most effective, Agyepong is (for me) a guy who needs sent back to City as he's offering zero, and if we get Morgan as a replacement, ideal. Fraser Murray being back is also a very good addition to the team.

Gauld has seemingly been playing a deeper midfield role recently, Dylan wasn't the biggest or strongest of defensive playmakers but he had a quick brain, quick feet and held onto the ball very well, you don't have to be a big lump to play that deep midfield role, just look at Luka Modric.

I just watched the Leeds V Derby match to have a look at Craig Bryson, who was mentioned earlier this week as a possible target. He played as one of two defensive mids and was certainly robust in his tackling, however Leeds swamped them (winning 2 - 0) and he certainly didn’t get the chance to show any attacking prowess or finesse.

Na, no chance. In theory yeah, it sounds great. In reality Scott Allan is not only wasted there but a total liability defensively. He actually gives the ball away trying things alot, that's fine further forward but not there. He doesn't have the discipline to play there at all.

Get him forward running at defenders

I don’t think his best games have been too far forward though. He was tried in the number 10 role a few times and it didn’t work as there wasn’t the space for him to work in.

I think he needs a bit of a free role and allowed to drift into spaces he feels he can be effective.

Not a sitting midfielder or a number 10 imo

SJM lost possession countless times in dangerous areas both with Hibs and Scotland. Sometimes it pays off, on occasion you're punished. Scott Allan (and SJM) proved beyond doubt that the way they play was far more productive in an attacking sense than being damaging to the team. I'm all for technically gifted players trying things and playing from the back :aok: with gifted players, it will always pay off.

Because in Scotland with domestic transfers you can’t officially sign a pre contract until 30 days before the end of the previous contract. If Allan’s contact finishes end of June we couldn’t officially offer a contract and register it wil the SFA until the end of May.

We could agree on principle with him but nothing stopping another team down south coming in for him between now and then.

O
Loan probably suits him, will get him playing and help him to earn himself a decent new contract that pays bigger bucks than Hibs can unfortunately ...but would love to see us give him even a 2 year deal and maybe get a return in a transfer fee ??

A contract is a contract. If Allan signs a contract that takes effect from such and such a date, it’s binding. Whether the SFA accept it before May is moot, I think.

All in the semantics and wording of the pre contracts then.

What happens if the player has a career ending injury before the new contract kicks in?

I’m sure there was a preceden set where the club didn’t have to honour that deal which means the pre-contract has get out clauses and so effectively worthless from a legal stand point.

I’m not sure of that btw, it’s just ringing a bell. Think it may have been Dunfermline but not sure?

I would guess because we want him now. If he signs a pre contract agreement it will piss Celtc off making things even more difficult.

Why would Celtic bother if he signs a pre contract with someone though? They aren't going to offer him a new contract

No one heard anything at all? Even a believable rumour!!

I'm willing to wait and sign Allan on a pre contract (if we're interested in him). The tears and snotters from Celtic fans after the McGinn saga would be worth it. "Thats how to sign somebody for nothing"....) etc.

Reading that article the player has to pass a medical before he signs the actual contract, it allowed Celtic to pull the deal when a player they were due to sign got injured.

[Gmack7]

we want Morgsn on loan so if Allan is coming to ER he will need to agree a pay off from Celtic or wait until the summer,assuming we sign Morgan

[Joe6-2]

Will Celtic play ball with Morgan, it they are allegedly being difficult over Allan??

I always felt if we are to get Scott Allan it will be at the end of the window. I’m sure Celtic will want rid of him but equally won’t want to pay off his remaining contract in full and it will be about agreeing a payment that suits him, Celtic and us.

I can't see Celtic making a deal to pay off Allan just to help us out, they were messing us around in the summer on wages for a loan deal, why would they do us a favour now, if we want Allan now, we'll have to pay or wait.

You would hope that common sense would prevail. It has certainly been to the benefit of both clubs in the past to have a good relationship.

[Greenworld]

Well looks like Celtic are going to release Allan according to an article.
Hibernian are keen on Morgan, Bradford City want Hendry, who has suffered a dreadful loss of form after being picked by Scotland following his move to Dundee, while the experienced Mulumbu was unable to reproduce his performances from last season when he was a sensation at Kilmarnock.

The almost forgotten about Scott Allan will have his contract torn up with Hibs favourite to sign the midfielder.
