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

[MWHIBBIES]

Can't wait for the meltdown when we don't get him because someone offers far more.

[cabbageandribs1875]

make shinnie our highest ever paid player ? good grief no ta, fs you would think he was SJM or sommit, i'd take his brother back though

[calumhibee1]

Would like to sign him but agree about not making him our highest paid ever. As for Andrew Shinnie, absolutely no thank you.

be a pretty decent squad player :agree: in fact, get Fraser Fyvie back as well :greengrin

Graeme is the much better player. Would definitely take him if we had a chance of getting him.

[calumhibee1]

I actually suggested him before he came to us last time round but once we signed him I didn’t think he was that great. Not awful mind, but not of the standard we need now.

[blackpoolhibs]

Shinnie is the type of player i'd love us to sign, along with a couple of similar types who we could build the team around.

Fraser would walk into out team now. No one does the job he does in our current team. Always available for the ball, takes it from the back 4 so it doesn't get aimlessly hoofed, keeps the play ticking over. You constantly see our fullbacks have to turn back now because no midfielder is there to take it from them.

Apart from mark Milligan you mean as that's exactly what he does most weeks

[The_Horde]

Heard a wee story from an ex player after the game on Wednesday that Lennon has asked the board to push the boat out and sign a left hand side midfielder from a rival who is out of contract in the summer on a pre contract that will make him the highest paid player in Hibs history.

We're short on left peggers in midfield now. But the board will say naw anyway.

[MWHIBBIES]

Apart from mark Milligan you mean as that's exactly what he does most weeksI'd be surprised if Milligan completes half the passes Fyvie did week to week.

The FF of 2 seasons ago I agree. The FF I saw versus Ayr I'm afraid not. He looked seriously unfit & off the pace. Don't really want his 21/5/16 memories diminished.

[Allant1981]

You clearly don't watch Milligan very much then as most of the build up play(not much recently) comes from him

[Criswell]

I take it Greg Stewart is at Kilmarnock on loan. He seems to have got his mojo back. Maybe worth a punt?

[The 90+2]

You clearly don't watch Milligan very much then as most of the build up play(not much recently) comes from him

So two games then? Much better than Fyvie in that case. Good effort. Another on good money who will show how good he actually is when away all of January while were sruggling to fork out what, £20 odds to watch us against Elgin. Glad the money is going to good use.

[The 90+2]

I’m sure he played at Hibs as a boy. Big rangers fan but yeah, just what we need.

[Wilson]

Don't think Preston or Man City are classed as our rivals...

I saw Pep on SSN saying that Man. City are NOT the best team in the world. We're not the best team in the world so they are rivals in that one!

[J-C]

And herein lies Lennon's problem, he wants the board to push the boat out for Shinnie, a guy who's club captain with a team who has been top 2 and cup finalists this past 3-4 years. And what happens when the board can't get it done because A. Aberdeen offer better and are a better option football wise than Hibs. B. English team offer double.

Will Lennon go in the huff because our board didn't get him and show ambition, or will he realise that signing Shinnie was never going to happen. Lennon needs to get realistic here.

[Souter96Mac]

Still your argumentative self I see G, how is it a pop at Lennon, I'm stating the case that IF this rumour is true then Lennon is deluded thinking Shinnie would come here, IF it's pish then Lennon has done no wrong, get a ****ing grip, you've turned into a right happy clapper recently, having a go at anyone who isn't happy with things at the moment.

[Rumble de Thump]

It's amazing the absolute garbage people will believe.

[MWHIBBIES]

It doesn't at all, most of the play comes from hoofs to Kamberi. Milligan isn't mobile enough, doesn't offer himself to the fullbacks especially and doesn't really pass more than 15 yards.

I don't think I've ever seen a player lose form as drastically as Milligan. Couldn't believe how good he was at the start and I can't believe how bad he's been in his last few games.

No, you didn't :faf:

[EH54]

Hibs have got a great chance of signing some quality players if they can up the wage bill a bit. So many decent players out of contract in the summer proven at this level. This could really kick a team on to constant European football and could make a team a lot of money in the process. You've got greg Stewart, Glenn kamara, Chris Cadden, graeme shinnie, Mackay-steven, to name a few from our league.

[MWHIBBIES]

A destroyer! Sorry I'm done now, I can't have a debate with someone who comes out with this crap

You can't have a debate anyway, you're just resorting to personal insults. Usually a sign of someone with no point to make.

Next time Milligan starts watch how often he takes the ball from the centre backs and moves it forward or helps the fullbacks so they don't have to turn back. It's not his game. Or hasn't been so far.

Surely that will depend on what it would take to get Shinnie?

It's a realistic request if he'll come here as our top earner, but not if he wants 50% more. The only way to find out is make an approach.

Ok then. I will be in Bar west before the game today or Roxys after the game meet me in either and I will tell you who told me. I will not put names on here who told me but this person would not make this up. Lennon wants Shinnie. Now its up to the board.

[B.H.F.C]

As long as they are turning over millions more than us then no.

[mcfly]

This is not going to happen.

If we can’t get Dylan to sign we are not going to be able to sign shinnie.

Probably going to go down south for 2-3 times what we can pay.

Why not try and sign Kamara from Dundee or a couple of the killie players?

2 midfielders and a striker please

I guessed the player, i never made out if we were actually interested in him either way. I certainly never made out in any way shape or form that Lennon needed to get real, when none of it is probably real?

I have no idea if the rumour is true, and i have no idea if he'd even consider us, but i do know he's a decent player who i'd love to see in our midfield, albeit very very unlikely in my opinion.

He could want Messi. It doesn’t matter.

[SCHAEDYSHORTS]

Shinnie would be great, he's the only player I've ever seen who commits loads of fouls, gets loads of free kicks awarded to him & totally get in a refs face moaning about every decision. He's immune to bookings at all times, so he'd never be suspended & we would get away with murder in midfield.

Yes. Correct, but we got to that point because we serially sacked managers who we thought weren't good enough but were better than their successors. I agree that LD is a difference to Petrie but, as I've said already, the cycle of sacking managers should be avoided.

[Jones28]

Dempster was here when we got relegated

She wasn't in post until the first of June, I thought that too.

Nope. She was appointed before but didn’t take up her post until after....

This cycle of sacking managers is something we shouldn't get into again. We know what Lennon is capable of, we know where we've been with him.

I would deem his appointment a success. First two seasons done well enough. To me he’s just reaching the end of his shelf life. Doesn’t mean his appointment wasn’t successful overall.

I don't agree with the shelf life idea, I think we know what Lennon is capable of. I think this season has been tricky so far but we have played some great football so far, with this dip being a bit of a stinker but there's no reason this won't be broken and we can return to our best.

This could really kick a team on to constant European football and could make a team a lot of money in the process. You've got greg Stewart, Glenn kamara, Chris Cadden, graeme shinnie, Mackay-steven, to name a few from our league.

You're correct, we've actually increased our wage ceiling a good bit this season. Shinnie is a perfectly feasible signing within a Scottish (non uglies) context. However there's a bit of a problem in that he doesn't fit our preferred profile of signing players who will have a decent resale value. We already broke the mould by investing a considerable amount on a 33 year old. Shinnie will be 30 at end of a 3 year contract. And obviously we have no chance of competing if English clubs, from Championship up, are interested.

[Unseen work]

Graeme Shinnie? Hahahah absolutley no chance

Don't think your right. The only other time a team from outside the top division has won the Scottish cup it was East Fife back in the 30s I think

[The Leith Dutch]

2 strikers
Scott Allan
A left midfielder

If we get Allan I think he'll make the strikers we've got work brilliantly.
I wouldn't say not to another one but likely to be backup.

I think our real problems lie in Centre midfield and on what formation we use.

Assuming we got Allan I think it would be only him, Flo and Milligan that were straightforward in terms of being always on the team sheet in a known position.
Boyle is an almost certain starter but it's not clear whether that's at wing back, winger or another forward.

That isn't particularly a slight on the other players - more a reflection on the uncertainty in formation.
e.g. Gray is a fantastic RB but we'd probably sacrifice RB as a position to play Boyle there if he wasn't being fit in at winger or striker.

However you cut it up I feel we do need another genuine Centre midfielder to play alongside Milligan.
He feels like the only CM we have capable of winning us the ball in there.

[Crab apple]

For me signing Scott Allan and an experienced big bully of a centre forward would represent a good window.

I’ve no idea, never heard of him.

Only signed a 6 month deal with Dundee in the summer and don’t think he’s played much so not sure if he’s been injured or maybe didn’t have a full pre-season?

That link says he’s a forward but think he’s actually an attacking midfielder going by what I can find on YouTube and online.

[Heisenberg]

Another attacking midfielder that has struggled to make an impact at Dundee? I’m sure it’ll work out as well as the last time we went down that route. Sign him up.

Looks like we have absolute no chance of signing him which will undoubtedly disappoint a lot on here. Some of the clubs mentioned in that article would quadruple any offer we would make for him

So I should compare mediocrity to mediocrity, what's the sense in that. So because we have more or less always been pretty pish and middle of the road, we should just accept it? A club with our infrastructure, support and size should be hitting top four most seasons, not middle of the table.

This is a bit ridiculous.

I didn’t want Stubbs to go (neither did he, in hindsight), but once he made his decision, Lenny was undoubtedly the outstanding available candidate for the role.

Leeann quite rightly moved quickly to get him, and it’s been a good appointment overall.

So, my report card reads:

Stubbs: good appointment, rebuilt the team spirit and brought the Holy Grail back to Leith.

Lenny: good appointment, two very decent league campaigns but now suffering a wobble

Leeann: done just great, no complaints.

No. We should enforce a ban on signing any attacking midfielder that isn't named Scott Allan.

He played against us at Dens earlier in the season . He was their best player by a mile that day .

[Ronniekirk]

Saw Scott Allan in the Gym I go to last week He was using one of those ice cubicles you go into after exercise to help the body recover
He has fairly Bulked up since he last played for us His slight physic was one of the reasons he got muscles out of some games like Up at Dingwall for e.g.
But agree it then takes weeks for him to get match fit and up to speed Bit with Milligan and Boyle both being away in January and us only having a few games it might be perfect timing
Although the Rumours of The Rangers being interested remain Cheap option for them and to try him out till end of the Season and see how it goes
But if he has any designs on wanting to play regularly with a view to another crack down South ,he needs to come to a Club where he is loved and vslued and will play
If Hyndman now gets s run of games and maintains form Lenny has decisions to make Could they play together ?

Quoted as "box-to-box" midfielder in the press and is listed as an attacking centre mid on Football Manager (I know). Either we're not even going to bother for Allan or Lennon still doesn't think we have a physical presence problem in midfield?

Dominic is an idiot.
He now plays in the 2nd tier of Greek football for a team on an island off the south coast of Greece.
The biggest team on the island plays in the Greek Super League and attracts a vast average of 1,750 fans to their home matches.
However, Dominic's team are bottom of the 2nd tier and play in front of one man and his dug.
The team finished a creditable 4th last season but Dominic joined them at the start of this season and has helped to drag them down to 16th and bottom place.
Way to go Dom. Talk about poor career decisions. 30 years old in less than a month. Tick tock.

Suspect that was an excuse or even an agreed statement with the club as Dom had a contract waiting for him back in Italy.
I actually liked him a lot as a player. Great skill he brought to the game, something different.
I remember lots of folk on here giving him a hard time due to his workrate and lethargic manner.
Should have stayed at Hibs. I believe he would have been given a new contract and continued to make vital contributions as a sub.

None of us on here know what goes on behind the closed doors of football clubs but we shouldn't believe everything we are fed by players, agents, management or the media. We make our judgements from a combination of knowns, unknowns and things we might reasonably have expected to happen based on our experiences.
My opinions on this matter were reached in this way.

6 months before he left Hibs Malonga said
“Myself and my girlfriend Paola enjoy life in Edinburgh. She is Italian but we feel at home. We live near the Meadows and we like nothing better than to take Matthew out for a walk there"

10 months after moving from Hibs Malonga said
“The main thing was my contract and my family. My contract was up in six months" "I had two-and-a-half-year’s contract on offer in Italy"

The above statements taken together state that Dominique and his partner were happy in Edinburgh but 6 months later he had a 30 month deal on the table from an Italian club and only 6 months left on his Hibs deal.
In my opinion he decides he wants to take the deal up but is contracted to Hibs. How can he leave Hibs immediately?
Suddenly we get the partner and young child are unable to settle chat. Shortly after he leaves Edinburgh to take up his new contract in Italy.
I didn't buy into his excuse. I can't be sure i'm right, hence why I said I suspect.
Most of the posts on this forum are generally their authors opinions on a given matter based on some or in many cases no evidence.

Played against him for years growing up when he was at Broxburn, always been a quality wee player technically. Great attitude aswell. Sure he Was playing With Bo'ness juniors before Livi picked him up. His dad played for a few teams, also represented the USA. Think if we wanted him we would get him.

Definitely should go for him as he should be affordable on our budget as I doubt he will be on that much at Livingston.

He’s always impressed me whenever I’ve seen him play. As mentioned, reminds me so much of SJM.

[GreenArmy1875]

Shaun Byrne is the one for me. Would add something to our midfield. Not scared to tackle, good feet, plenty energy and eye for goal.

I’m not sure we really need another inconsistent wide player. Suppose he could take Agyepong’s place if he goes back to City.

Neil Lennon makes Scott Allan Hibs top target as he reveals January plans
The Easter Road boss admits he would love to see the playmaker return to the club for a third time.

Neil Lennon has revealed he will add to his Hibs squad in January – with Celtic outcast Scott Allan in his sights.

The Hibees have failed to hit the heights of last season’s fourth-placed finish.

But boss Lennon believes bringing in some new blood next month could help fire the Edinburgh side back up the table.

That could see playmaker Allan back at Easter Road for a third spell, if Celtic are willing to cut a deal.

The 27-year-old’s contract is up in 
the summer and Hoops boss Brendan
 Rodgers may want to offload him early.

Lennon said: “Scott’s under contract. I don’t want to start headlines. He’s a player we like.

“These kinds of players cost a lot of money but if there was an opportunity there we’d look at it, obviously.

“I’ll definitely look at a couple of areas which will help with the way we want to play and I’ll try and find the right type to come in and do that.

Good! Come home Scott

I hope he’s finally relised that the most financially rewarding deal is not the best for his career

He’s 27 now and, if he’s lucky with injuries, he can get another 5-6 years

More than enough time to still have a healthy bank account, a few Scotland caps and maybe a winners medal or 2

More or less what he said at the AGM. Where did that come from?

Anyone think we might make a bid to get Southampton’s third choice keeper on loan?

Don’t think a keeper is high on our priorities so would be very surprised, unless u know something? Presume ur talking about Angus Gunn

Ah yes, young Fraser Forster.

Is he really third choice there? Surprised at that.

Paddy McCourt in the Northern Ireland Super Sixes squad. Will we have a scout there?

Sadiki's still here. Played in a friendly according to the EEN.

Scott Allan is the must have for me, especially if we are losing Hyndman.

As a poster who read this website a long time before registering I used to look at that posters thoughts on and off the pitch in terms of team tactics and transfers. Massive loss since being bullied off.

Didn’t happen did it. He posted false info and got caught out.

You saying he lied and tried to mislead? Always posted in good faith and always made no secret of that fact. A few folk couldn’t wait for one of his stories to be wrong. Using comments like “got caught out” put you in that camp in my book. Poor show.

[Unseen work]

Sadiki's still here. Played in a friendly according to the EEN.

Interesting that we’re looking at him given his age etc. Personally think it might be as a replacement for Porteous who I think will have big bids in for him soon, potentially even in January.

Quality name as well

And I'm sure The Cat only got 1 wrong, the Scott Allan one, he got Kamberi and Maclaren right and 1 other I think.

To be fair everyone got the Kamberi one right. Lennon said we had an option on him. He was always going to sign permanently.

[Mango Man]

Some other club could have easily jumped in ahead of us though with the form he showed at Hibs, Maclaren was certainly no guarantee.

He was wrong more often than not but I like the fact he put them up in the first place.

I would suggest he wasn’t wrong more often than not, mostly had info on Hibs targets which often did not come to fruition for the club

I liked The Cat.

I found his posts entertaining

Sometimes some inside info/gossip is better than nothing at all

It is what keeps us normal fans going and he should not be shot down for sharing with us his ITK gossip and then due to circumstances outwith his control it does not come to pass

We need a new The Cat.

[flash]

Not bothered either way but he didn't leave because he got a rumour wrong.

[Brightside]

We were trying to get get Cameron Lancaster in, but the chat is he is staying in the states now. He's ex Spurs - lots of injuries in his youth but knocking in goals for fun overin the US now

[we are hibs]

Efe.

Thecat had put on twitter a couple days ago that Lennon was after Lewis Morgan on loan from Celtic

Absolutely no chance of that happening.....Unless Celtic are after one of our players and use him as a makeweight in a deal.

[J-C]

Efe.


Been told this by more than a few people, I still think Lennon did an old pals act with Efe so he could get his British passport, the wage drop to join us from Celtic would've been fairly big but he only had around 10 months to get his citizenship.

There was a rumour a Turkish side were after him in the summer and he's at an age where one last big pay day looks nice, he has been playing very well recently so I wouldn't be surprised to see Efe go with only 6 months contract left.

[Winston Ingram]

I remember him at Spurs. In the same youth team with Harry Kane and made his debut the same season. He was a huge prospect. Knackered by injuries. He's playing at the level below MLS at the moment at Louisville City. He's just left them. Centre forward. Quite a big lad.

Would be great if they sold him. My concern would be that Celtic and undeserving English teams would then turn an eye toward Porteous.

I can’t see Celtic bidding big for another young Scottish defender after the Jack Hendry experiment.

[Billy Whizz]

He’s a far better play than Hendry, wouldn’t be surprised if they went in for him, give the Dons the money to secure Shinnie and GMS

Ryan Christie turned out okay for them though.

I’m not sure it would be that great. They’ll get a massive fee and reinvest a lot into their playing squad.
