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

[BegbieHSC]

A DM called Block and a goalie called Glover - perfect!

That’s outstanding 😂😂

[04Sauzee]

In torn with this Cummings rumoured signing.
On one hand I'm not to fussed if he comes back.
Then I look at the YouTube clips and it reminds me of the great goals he scored and some were against decent opposition.

I also think if we got Allan in during this window he knows the runs and positions Cummings takes up and Cummings knows what kind of runs to make for Allan

Tough one

[GreenCastle]

Would be great to get JC back.

He’s still young and can improve - like Allan - Cummings suits Hibs plus he loves a goal against the Jambos.

For me - he’s always got a goal in him and would definitely add more character to the team and a fans favourite back where we have lost quite a few recently.

Cummings is an upgrade on Shaw and Lewis Allen so it’s a no brainer.

[Austinho]

I’m warming to the idea of Cummings too - offers more than Maclaren as is more skilful on the ball, can cut inside and score from outside the box.

[matty_f]

A DM called Block and a goalie called Glover - perfect!

We need to find out what Ted Striker is up to these days.

[Eyrie]

We need to find out what Ted Striker is up to these days.
His career is Oveur and he's Dunn.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

"and it's Cummings down the line"

Lol forgot about that

“Made a right Hash brown of that penalty”
“If Stokesy hair was real he’d have scored that”

[One Day Soon]

His career is Oveur and he's Dunn.

That can’t be right Shirley?

[SirDavidsNapper]

I'm on the fence with Cummings too. If he signs im happy enough, if not i wont lose any sleep over it. For him personally i think coming back to Hibs is a no brainer. Hometown club and familiarity. Will just need to see how it pans out.

[BlackSheep]

[SHODAN]

Aye, in the championship. Unproven at SPL level. It's a no from me.

How many goals did Riordan, O'Connor, Killen, Stokes, Griffiths et al score against Hearts?

[hfc rd]

Cummings had a good goal scoring record against teams in the premiership when we were in the championship.

[Tobias Funke]

How many goals did Riordan, O'Connor, Killen, Stokes, Griffiths et al score against Hearts?

That shouldn’t be the criteria for signing someone and besides, some of those players mentioned had decent scoring records against Hearts.

[weehissy]

His career is Oveur and he's Dunn.
Dont think he`s over Oveur but i think he`s under Dunne :wink:

[CMac1988]

Wouldn't break the bank for Cummings but he's a better all round player than McLaren and Shaw and has a good goal scoring record. Also brings confidence and camaraderie to the dressing room which we've been lacking. So it's a yes for me.

Honestly? I think it's the most important criteria. Shows they can handle the big games. Some of our superstars (particularly Mowbray's team) had pathetic records against Hearts.

Killen, Stokes and Griffiths all scored 2. Riordan and O'Connor had 5/6 each I think, but this was over
5/6 years and a number were consolations. Cummings has 5 in less than ten derbies and we never lost when he scored.

[Lemonade]

Don’t get me wrong I want to beat Hearts as much as you do but to use Cummings goal record against one team alone (in a debate about signing him or not) is false logic. There are ten other sides he needs to do it against.

The fact he is still without a club suggests a deal may have fallen through or he has changed his mind. He had 6 months left so he was free to speak to other clubs so why wouldn't he arrange a deal then cancel the hibs contract?

It is a bit strange he hasn’t got a team yet, but maybe the club knew he wanted to leave at some point this month so asked him if he would agree to leave earlier in the window to save us paying his wages for a couple more weeks. Or alternatively he had to decide whether he wanted to leave by a certain date otherwise he would have had to see out the remaining of his contract

Definitely odd. He could have picked up a couple extra weeks salary and a free trip to Dubai.

I presume he'll still find a decent club though. He could even wait into Feb as now he's a free agent the transfer window won't matter.

[Peevemor]

I presume he'll still find a decent club though. He could even wait into Feb as now he's a free agent the transfer window won't matter.It could be Hibs that pushed him into a quick decision in order to leave more time to replace him or at least free up his wages for incoming transfers.

[Beefster]

Not really iirc. He was a fine player but nowt special.

I think there is a bit of the ‘rose-tint’ about opinions on Gunnarsson because he was part of the SC win.

Scored a peach against Sevco too

[BlackSheep]

Hope we get a ‘second’ striker in soon.

It’s clear that Lennon isn’t keen on playing two up top with the current squad, yesterday’s line up nods in the direction.

I spent a good part of yesterday’s game noticing that we are missing a player who sits central up top and stays there.... one more than a few occasions against Elgin Flo dropped off or pulled wide and received the ball and found nobody to play it through to or cross it to.

This leaves us playing the ball backwards and having to rethink the attack.

I think it’s about time “time for heroes” got another watch.

If Cummings left we probably would have signed a replacement :hilarious, doubt we'd have played the season with ten men. Or is he saying that Cummings is the only player capable of scoring 20 goals in the championship? What a helmet.

Left too late? If anything he left too early.

What an ********! Minus a public apology, I wouldn’t be negotiating with him for players - don’t want a wee hun like that, who slags off our fans and club getting any commission from Hibs.

Rangers are an absolutely disgusting club and the more they hate us the more we must be doing right.

Agree with that since there resurrection in 2012;

Rangers wins - 7
Draws - 3
Hibs wins - 9

They hate us because we’ve been the better team since

[SouthMoroccoStu]

It's extremely pleasing how broken The Rangers fans are over that day in 2016.

We can talk about how we broke Hearts and ended their song book that year, but lest we forget that a part of Sevo was ended and left on the Hampden pitch that day.

You have to remember, it was a foregone conclusion that they were going to win the cup that day

They’d beat Celtic in the semi final and the opponent in the final was “only” Hibs

If we can get Allan, Morgan (loan) and Cummings (probably on loan) in this window, it would be some window. However I can see Maclaren leaving, to help make wage available for these sorts of deals.

What overhauls were we in control of? We tried but had no chance of keeping JM, DM, SA & BB. Efe had a clause that he actioned despite offering what we thought was a good offer. The strikers he had on loan last year returned (with mixed effect) but we live in hope.

Two January overhauls needed in a row to correct the inadequate previous summer windows. Going into the season with just 3 senior strikers and 3 wingers was poor and not because of the players we lost.

Anyway, I was just making a quick point so not looking to hijack the thread.

What mistakes have they made? :confused:

Getting Maclaren back on loan after he did so well for us in his first period on loan wasn't their fault. It was a no brained, but it hasn't worked out for whatever reason.

I can't think of anything else under Hibs' control that has been even close to a mistake in the transfer market.

The merits of quality can be debated and easy to judge with hindsight, so I’ll leave that aspect, but quantity was definitely something in our control.

We went into the season with only 3 strikers and 3 wingers, with one of them a known gamble due to his injury record. Those aspects were a mistake and have been a factor in our disappointing first half of the season IMO.

Agyepongs injury history should have been noticed surely. He’s hardly played.

As others have said, quantity wise we never had enough in certain positions, forwards especially being one. Agyepongs injury history should have been taken into account, whether that was with regard to signing him at all or seeing as we did, signing another winger since he was likely to miss a lot of games.

As much as I wouldn’t blame them for Maclaren, it could be said aswell that plenty people on here mentioned he didn’t do much at all when he wasn’t scoring last season. While on the face of it - to the fans especially - it was a great signing, it hasn’t worked out. Most people seem to agree it’s because we don’t have last seasons midfield putting chances on a plate for him over and over. It could be said that the recruitment team should have considered that the midfield that done that for him last season isn’t here anymore. They maybe did of course, but if they did then the midfield we had in the first half of the season hasn’t been good enough to do that for him. So maybe they should have passed on Maclaren and went for a striker with more to his game?

I understand your point and I agree that another striker would have been preferable.

I'm not convinced that's the recruitment team's fault though.

If we accept that Hibs now look to fill the team with genuine quality and willl no longer buy mediocre players just because they're available, then it may have been the circumstances that beat us.

I'm certain that we would have been trying to get another striker in. It may have fallen through at the last minute for any number of reasons beyond Hibs' control.

Perhaps we were confident of getting someone in, but were gazumped at the last minute by a richer club. Brandon Barker comes into that category, I believe.

Perhaps we were going to sign a second or third choice player, but they wanted too long a contract.

I definitely agree that we don't want to be light on personnel, but I'd hesitate to say that the recruitment team made mistakes.

Lennon seems determined to bring in a couple of strikers this window so we'll see what develops.

[The_Horde]

Agyepongs injury history should have been noticed surely. He’s hardly played.

Barker's wasn't great either. I suppose if you're hibs you sometimes have to take risks to bring the quality you want to bring in.

[Hibbyradge]

I think semantics are to blame here and maybe it's the term "recruitment team" that's causing the disagreements.

If we're including Neil Lennon and Leeann Dempster along with Graeme Mathie's team and Craig Scates, then there might be more consensus.

I thought it was the recruitment team's job to identify players good enough to play for Hibs. It's not their job to hire them.

Too literal for my own good, probably.

The disappointment in the summer was the midfield, we expected Allan in which never materialised, this left us short on quality there, Hyndman was a major disappointment and this left Lennon playing a wide player in Horgan as a makeshift attacking midfielder. Don't know if you've noticed but the midfield has been the major overhaul this transfer window.

The midfield has always been the issue, and I had my concerns in the summer that we hadn’t signed the right types of midfielders (energy & drive), but we did sign midfield replacements in the summer. I simply tried to steer clear about debating the quality, or lack of, of the signings as that can be subjective and opinions vary from poster to poster. My criticism was based on depth of squad which is more definitive to debate.

[RossScott1991]

hoping we can inject some pace into the side asap, still worries me. Motherwell away next, always a tough place to go. Injection of pace and ball carriers to be able to play away from home is required in this team.

Apart from Morgan has any other wingers been mentioned? or who should we be taking a look at? got to admit not many wingers are springing to mind.

I’ve only seen Morgan mentioned so far. Saw a St Mirren fan saying they’d heard Morgan is making his decision in the next few days.

[BlackSheep]

If we are in the running for Morgan you have to think he will choose us over St Mirren... what does it show Celtic if he chooses what most would consider the easier route of returning to his old club for game time. Regardless of where we currently are in the league surely the experience of playing at Hibs is worth more to him and to Celtic than sending him backwards?

[gorgie greens]

Who’d want an agent who’s mentality is still playground?

I keep seeing that excuse about the depth of squad, in my opinion its nonsense. We've had untold injuries with practically a whole team injured.

We've still managed to put a decent side out every week, but again in my opinion, a few of the signings made last summer have just not worked out.

How many extra players do we need, i'd say we will probably not have anymore players in at the end of this window than what we had at the end of December.

For me its all about quality, and its more quality we need more than depth.

I'm amazed that folk don't really take into consideration the amount of injuries we've had and how readily they discount it in considering how the transfer window was viewed.

It's not just the players that were injured either, it's the knock on effect of playing other players who might be out of form or having to play in a less familiar position, or in a system that we wouldn't have played if everyone was fit.

We didn't get every signing right, but I'd be amazed if you can show me a club anywhere that's had every player become a success - it's even less likely to work out when you're shopping in the market we are.

The injuries just compounded things - especially when we lost the players that we did anyway, but I think it's wrong to say that the signings were bad or that the recruitment wasn't up to what it should have been.

It’s two separate things. We had enough bodies in central mid but not enough quality IMO. 3 strikers and 3 wingers (one of which was a known fitness gamble) isn’t enough, probably the quality needed but not the quantity to allow for injuries & suspensions etc, again IMO.

Surely that's what depth of squad means, when we have injuries it's the players waiting in the wings and on the bench just haven't been good enough. We needed more quality and there wasn't enough of that.

All depends on how you view the players that are coming in? I dont think any other club in this league has had as many injuries to their players as we have.

I also think we've done pretty well when you consider that. I'd say the guys we brought in like Mallan Hyndman Agyepong and McLaren have contributed way less than we all thought they might. Strength in depth is the guys we had, those who came in for injuries and suspensions.

A lot of them were also injured, like Bartley and Milligan Slivka and now Boyle, throw in all the keepers being injured at one time or another, Gray Daz and Hanlon, even Stevenson, the depth of the squad has been stretched to its limit and beyond, how many players should we sign for this injury crisis to have no effect?

Cmon there’s no way any club could be hit as hard with injuries and it not have an adverse effect.

Every squad will have players who are less able than the top guys. The hope is you don’t have to use them all that often or it’s only 1 or 2 at a time.

We understand about the injuries but it was clear to all that we were still 3-4 quality signings short in the summer, we needed an Allan/Gauld type to open up defences with cutting passes, we lacked legs in the middle of the park, hopefully Omeonga is that player and we were short up front to cover injury/lack of form and putting too much pressure on Shaw to let him develop properly. What we don't want is having to rely on Dev squad players to be those guys, they need introduced gradually unless they're like Porteous and possibly Shaw where they're now part of the main squad

I remember at the beginning of this new regime under LD and Craig, they spoke of having a squad of 2 players per position, supplemented by a few Dev players to gain experience. What we had this year has been 3-4 short term deals to make up numbers, Mavrias, Nelom, Hyndman, certainly not what's needed.

At least 2 more in for sure, possibly as many as 4 depending on what happens with outgoings. We’re working hard on permanent deals but Lennon and the board are aware of how difficult it is in January so might be forced into short term loans for now.

I don't think it was clear to all in the summer. My memory is of almost universal approval at our signings, both quantity & quality. We got our top targets, IIRC we signed 6 full internationalists & 2 U 21 internationalists. They haven't all worked out for various reasons, including injuries but I don't think anyone expected 12 quality signings. If you said we were 4 short in the summer then kudos to you but I genuinely can't remember any posts of that nature.

He either does or he doesn't.

I’d agree with that.

[Jones28]

That would be terrific if that's the case

On his form it would be signing of the season!

[Brightside]

He doesn't know. It's common knowledge.

You’re a wee weirdo. Do you ever bring anything at all to this forum. I’ll add you back to ignore now.

I’ve been mulling over our recruitment from the past couple of years and I think I can see now how things have panned out and why our January windows seem to be more successful.

We recruit in the summer, normally unknown players in our league and can only speculate as to how they settle in... some do and some don’t.

Come January the recruitment team have had a chance to see where things have worked and where things haven’t and can hone in on players that will fit the current squad’s mould.

By this time some of our top targets have also either become part of their current teams plans or on the flip side fallen out of favour... allowing us to make an approach without breaking the bank.

I’ve heard many times how it’s difficult to find quality in the January window, but for teams like hibs it can be the summer window that proves harder to achieve target signings, due in part to players not having played with their current squads or under their current managers.

A lot happens between August and Christmas that seems to favour teams like hibs.

What we need to do is hope that going forward we develop a core squad that only needs tinkering in each window.

Whats the chances of Allan joining us this window?

I know someone who's good pals with scottys dad. He says that the issue is the difference between his celtic contract and what he's due to get at hibs. He's not willing to walk away and sacrifice the rest of the contract, that's what lawell wants him to do and he's been by him to many times to do what suits lawell

Could very be a late in the window deal for scott to take x% of what is owed to leave.

Saves Celtic £s and suits us!

Alan Nixon saying on twitter that Efe signing a new deal with us very possible. Usually is semi-reliable.

I'd rather bring nothing to the forum than bring something fake.

Your "im so ITK" persona is wearing thin son, time to give in.

I can see Allan coming to us on loan for the rest of the season.

If that does happen Celtic will save some money by us paying a proportion of his wages but probably more crucially he will be free to play against Rangers/Aberdeen/Hearts and potentially take points off them but at the same time Celtic can ensure he is not able to play against them.

Who’s Alan Nixon and is he credible

[J-C]

I don't think it was clear to all in the summer. My memory is of almost universal approval at our signings, both quantity & quality. We got our top targets, IIRC we signed 6 full internationalists & 2 U 21 internationalists. They haven't all worked out for various reasons, including injuries but I don't think anyone expected 12 quality signings. If you said we were 4 short in the summer then kudos to you but I genuinely can't remember any posts of that nature.

Forget all this internationalist nonsense, means nothing. We signed an ageing Aussie as McGinns replacement and apart from 3-4 games, he's disappointed, MacLaren has been the biggest disappointment but we only had Shaw or L Allan as replacement. Hyndman was a complete mistake and never seemed to look like he enjoyed being here and Agyepong, well physios best friend at ER. So I'd say we needed a striker, at least one more midfielder and another wide player. All my opinion of course as I don't think anyone expected so many injuries especially all seemingly at the same time.

Think he's a journalist. I think he's fairly credible.

He blocked you so he won't read your post. FWIW Underscore is one of the more reliable posters on here with regards to what's going on behind the scenes at East Mains.

[Smartie]

He might be the link between our targets and Sunderland's.

They seem to take quite a keen interest in what he has to say down there.

[yonder1875]

Winger and Striker to come.

Lewis Morgan and Marc McNulty?

I follow him on twitter.. normally spot on .

[sambajustice]

Gary Hooper? Don't know if he is injured or not or just out of favour at Sheffield Wednesday, played for NL before, or is he outwith our budget

He's one of their best players. I wouldn't imagine we'd have a hope of getting him

[hibbyfraelibby]

Just flew back from Bergamo, Italy, and Liam Henderson was on the flight - just saying....

As I pointed ou about 40 pages back I am waiting for the delivery man
