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

[theonlywayisup]

That's now Harry and Hyndman out confirmed. First post needs updated.



As the initial one seems to have gone already, let's kick off the build-up to the January transfer window. A notoriously difficult time of year to buy in quality, we'll go in surely needing extra firepower up front and more steel in midfield.

Also - if this thread descends like last time into bickering between posters about who's inside info is pish or not, I'll close this thread. If you're unhappy because someone's confidental info (of which they were under no obligation to share with you) didn't come true, tough. Get over it.

Confirmed in
None

Confirmed new contracts
Lewis Stevenson (2.5 years)

Confirmed out
None

Rumoured in
Scott Allan (midfielder, Celtic)
Tommy Block (midfielder, Bognor Regis Town)
Jason Cummings (striker, Nottingham Forest)
Tom Eaves (striker, Gillingham)
Adil Nabi (midfielder, Dundee)
Kosovar Sadiki (centre back, Lokomotiva)
Graeme Shinnie (midfielder, Aberdeen)

Rumoured new contracts
Thomas Agyepong (loan extension)
Emerson Hyndman (loan extension)

Rumoured out
Ryan Porteous (Aston Villa)

Lennon wants to bring a young center midfielder from Chelsea in on loan .

Quick look on Transfermarkt, they have Billy Gilmour but he's 17,not sure if he's what we would need. Charlie Colkett 22 Yr old centre midfielder who's been on loan to a couple clubs in England, could be him but needle in a haystack type of stuff.

Maybe can’t afford what other clubs are bidding for him. If it’s Swansea, they’ve got a premier league parachute payment of millions to play with

[NAE NOOKIE]

Any news on Agyepong? I am expecting his loan being terminated.


It’s a case of booking an ambulance to take him back to Manchester I would imagine. :greengrin

I hope he stays. He played a lot in Holland on loan so his current run of injuries is hopefully just bad luck rather than him being naturally injury prone. From the few glimpses we've had of him I would say that there's a pretty good player in there who would give any defence in Scotland a tough time on his day.

Agyepong played 13 games last season for NAC Breda, he's injury prone and will always struggle to play half a season. only 16-17 season was decent with 32 games but only 14 games the season before.

There's plenty interest from richer clubs than us & promotion is also worth a fortune to Ayr. To sign someone like Shankland we really need to get in early before he comes to everyone's attention. If we do that however Hibs Net will go haywire asking why we're signing an unproven lower league player! Every signing is a gamble, Stockley couldn't trap a medecine ball at the Sheep, now he's worth £750k, crazy!

Nothing to do with just this season. The boy was the most highly rated youngest youngster at QP that had Robertson and others. Since then he’s been great bar Aberdeen and a loan move. The boy has now beefed up and has all the talent in the world!

Obviously more romantic playing in Italy than Scotland.
Both Verona teams use the same massive stadium but both attract less support than Hibs despite Chievo playing in the top league.
Hallas currently 4th in Serie B at the half way stage of the season. Will likely end up in the promotion play offs.

I think we really lack tenacity, energy and a box to box midfielder, not an overweight but good passer of the ball.

[Libby Hibby]

I think he does drive forward with the ball and gets a bad press. He’d be our best midfielder if he was to sign right now.

He would do well in our league.

And you know if he signs for them, he’ll score a worldy against us.

But this is .net and certain folk talk utter garbage. He has looked bang average for probably a year now. He is being subbed off by the team who are rooted to the bottom of the league, he's not even standing out for them and in the game at ER recently I thought McGowan looked better than him. He is no better than we have at the moment. And if we had spent big on him I would have been very disappointed.

Did not attend recent home game versus Dundee but will accept your word Kamara was outstanding

Marvin has never let Hibs down. Mallan is a young guy who will get better I think. Pretty sure they didn't cost us much. Some folk are suggesting we should have paid £1m for a guy who is not even playing well for the worst team in the league. If we do buy I want them to be better than we have and I just don't see that in Kamara. But why should I have an opinion, I'll just let the resident half dozen or so experts on here tell me who I should think is a good player or not.

I agree with you. His relentless trolling needs to be challenged sometimes.

[BILLYHIBS]

If you have never seen Glen Kamara display the same attributes as Marvin Bartley then why are you comparing Glen Kamara to Marvin Bartley?

Because they both play the same position though slightly different styles.

Bartley was the first and master of the holding midfield destroyer role during the Stubbs era playing in front of the back four

Both play the same position and people are talking on here about bringing Kamara in at a cost to replace the master and for a position we are well covered for as we also have Milligan

In my humble opinion Bartley is the better and more effective player

Why else would I be talking about them?

[The Modfather]

To be fair to MWC in this instance, when folk were comparing Charlie Adam & Milligan my first reaction was it must be because they are both white and play midfield.

Wonder why we haven’t announced Tommy Block yet...

He said his goodbyes at Bognor and changed all his social media saying he’s a footballer at Hibs.

Possibly because he's being signed for the youth team and therefore doesn't count as a "proper" signing.

If we’re announcing the ladies team signing new players and we’re announcing 17 year olds singing new contracts (Yves gallantes) I’m sure we’ll announce him in some regards, even if it’s just a mention he’s joined the development side.

Don't need him do we? We have Milligan already and he's the master of that position.

[bingo70]

I don’t actually see what Milligan has done wrong.

Did quite well when he came on against Rangers imo.

I think people are expecting him to be Dylan Mcgeouch or John Mcginn and I don’t think he’s either of those. Similar player to Bartley for me.

Think arriving in September, not having played since June has been his downfall. Without a pre season and playing catch up
I’m hoping if he plays a few games for Australia this month, he comes back a bit fitter

[Rumble de Thump]

I don't think it was trolling, it was a fair point to make - i'd be more concerned if nobody questioned it.

I don't necessarily agree with him but I can understand why he posted what he did.

It was bizarre and pointless comment about two defensive midfielders being compared, especially when Milligan was also mentioned. Some people are loud and proud about trolling. Others are just sleekit.

I think people have just gradually realised he’s not very good.

Average at CB and probably 5th choice behind existing squad. Comes back in against Rangers in midfield and very lucky not to give away a penalty. Awful against Livingston and people start to realise he’s not actually any better than Bartley.

So nothing terrible he’s done wrong but when he was heralded as a big signing and a missing piece of the puzzle in our midfield etc..... He’s not.

I’d rather have a youth player.

Personally think he started pretty well but his recent performances have been in the main pretty poor. Thought very poor v Dundee and when came on v St Mirren however not the only one that is for sure.

He was clearly playing with an injury from the off against Dundee. Our best run of the season coincided with him starting every game in midfield.

At the risk of dragging this out even further, this is what my point actually was - Kamara and Bartley don’t even play the same role in midfield so why would that comparison be made?

Another poster made a joke by comparing Milligan to Allan but it’s actually a very accurate representation of what has happened and the fact that we can easily identify it as a joke but don’t see the error in comparing Bartley to Kamara is exactly what is wrong. There’s not a straight like for like comparison but his style of play is far closer to that of McGeouch than Bartley.

The same lazy assumption comparison was made in the summer when it was suggested that Mulumbu might be a replacement for Bartley even though they are, again, completely different players.

I don’t think its a display of intentional racism but it does indicate that subconscious stereotyping exists and I don’t think that should be ignored.

It was actually Milligan and Charlie Adam that I made the joke comparison about, but then all white people look the same to you don’t they? 😀

On a more serious note, your point about subconscious racial stereotyping is a good one, and would generate an interesting and potentially enlightening debate on the holy ground.

Hmmmm. Don't really like commenting on this sort of stuff but feel for the original poster and think it is really bad form to infer someone is being racist or stereotyping when it is not necessarily there in the post, particularly when MWC's logic undermines his point in the first place.

MWC him/herself points out that Kamara's style of play is more similar to McGeouch rather than Bartley. In my view McGeouch and Bartley, while having different styles, essentially played the same role at Hibs and it was Bartley who lost out when McGeouch made the holding midfield role his own, even though he played it in a different way - more like Jorginho than ****e (if I am allowed to relate to Chelsea players).

I think it is perfectly fair then, even subscribing to MWC's view, to say that Kamara, if he signed for Hibs, would be competing with Bartley for a space in the midfield. They could probably play in different positions too (but if Bartley and McGeouch ever played in the same team McGeouch invariably played on the right handside). I personally think Bartley is underused at Hibs and think he is far more than just a spoiler - he was the one who drove us forward in the league cup final (but that is for another thread).

To insensitively condemn racism or stereotyping in a post when it may not be there, whether casual or not, is pretty off in my opinion. The only prejudice I have picked up is the superiority that comes across in MWC's posts (not sure whether this is intentional or not) but I think the original poster would have every right to take offense.

Being serious, slightly fed up how many times we look to bring back players who have left previously. Stokes to name a recent one.

More often that not, they’re all getting towards the end of their careers or having injury issues/not played in a while.

Be nice to sign a good player that isn’t a returning player, an ex-Celtic player or a journeyman international at the end of his career. We don’t need a defender unless Efe is gone. Midfield and upfront needs major changes/additions.

I’d rather we get a good starting 11 before looking at back ups. We have Whittaker and Gray at RB, if either aren’t good enough anymore (Whittaker) and/or injury prone (Gray) then again, our scouting and recruitment department are at fault. Agyepong being injury prone and having an injury track record yet we signed him on loan. Mavrias and Nelom being what...company for those in the physio room? Horgan still can’t last 90mins and I feel Lennon’s comments about fitness are mainly directed at him. Recruitment has been shambolic, signing Nik while our midfield is how it is would not surprise me though...

We’ve signed Nelom to take up a wage even though we can all see that Mackie is good enough to deputise Stevenson. Mavrias played 2-3 games in almost 3months.

Think he's been playing mostly centre half since he left. Given we like 3 at the back, and that takes quick, athletic defenders who can run with the ball at their feet, Gunnarsson would fit well into a Lennon team, especially given Efe may be away and Darren shouldn't play weekend midweek back to back.

[CMurdoch]

Like Hyndman needs to build himself up.

[madhatter]

So not Scott Allan then?

If we have a good team that win most weeks, then no. If we can get him without being ripped off by Celtic, fine. We seem to go all out on one or two players but lose focus on the team element. Then said good players leave as they get fed up of playing in a garbage team or simply stand out so much that they get bought by someone else.

Allan would help our midfield but wouldn’t fix it. We do not have enough grit and drive in there.

Example of what I mean, we spent money on Kamberi, Mallan and Horgan. All of which haven’t been great. Mallan obviously the best because of his shots and free kicks. Do we have a good team? No. We signed players on free and on loan to fill out the squad after spending money on a few signings. Most of free signings and loans have been physio bound since the beginning.

Has the returning Kamberi been anything like last season? No. Was Stokes? No.

You don't think Kamberi is replaceable?

[bingo70]

You don't think Kamberi is replaceable?

On our budget and in this window it would be very very difficult.

It’s clearly not impossible as we signed him in this window last year but when we’re already needing a couple of top class midfielders, new forwards who should be pairing up with Flo, a new centre half to replace Efe and a new winger or two as per Lennons wish list I think we would have other priorities than selling one of the few genuine quality players we currently have if we can avoid it.

[davhibby]

I'd rather see Lennon leave than Kamberi.

[DetroitHibs]

Worked last year when we binned Stokes and Murray. Technically Stokes is a better player than Kamberi. Stokes struggled like Kamberi is this year with the lack of service. Both had to keep dropping deep. Allan made the difference last year.

I don’t think he be going anywhere

Bristol city can **** off! *****hole city - tinpot team.

Kamberi is a much better forward than we can usually afford. Losing him would be pretty dire.

If we end up worse off by the close of the window then it's a huge failure given that we're currently 8th.

[Brooster]

Haha ok. Kamberi has contributed zero this season in fact he isn't even trying. Take anything upwards of £500k and run.

Aberdeen seemingly interested in Martin Boyle

The Martin Boyle of this season, meh, wouldn’t be too bothered if we got good money for him. The player of last season, he was a big part of how well we did.

I do worry if Boyle has peaked in terms of improvement and last season will end up the purple season of his career, with teams having found out how to defend against him now.

Or, hopefully, he is just having a dip this season like everyone else and with the right quality in the team he will flourish again.

Again.....Let's talk cash. Anything upwards of £500k and he is yours. Contributed very little this season. Can you tell I'm all for a total clear out lol.

[The Modfather]

I understand what he means, who is likely to be here longer term Lennon or Kamberi. Wouldn’t want to sell Kamberi only for Lennon to be gone before next season and neither of them were here.

As for Kamberi contributing “zero”, at least try and have a reasoned debate as that’s clearly not true.

[04Sauzee]

Aberdeen seemingly interested in Martin Boyle

Can't see Aberdeen signing him in this window unless his injury isn't as bad as we fear?

Could he go there with Shinnnie coming to ER if the rumours about Shinnnie are to be believed?

Or Mackay Stevens plus cash?

*Disclaimer... Can't actually see any of the above happening 😁

What has he contributed in terms of goals and assists in the last 3 months for example? Next to nothing, he's not trying a leg.

Your minds made up on him, fair enough. With the exception of Ambrose, Porteous & Bogdan none of the other players or manager have contributed much this season or the last 3 months.

I know. I'm disappointed I suppose. I would keep those 3 plus Gray, Horgan, Shaw and Mackie. Wouldn't be too fussed if any of the others left.

[3pm]

Each to their own but I personally don’t think the championship is much better than the top half of the Scottish Premiership.

I disagree.

[neil7908]

I think it would be a huge mistake to let Kamberi go. He's a great player and the chances of us signing better on a permanent contract (particularly in January) is next to none.

Equally Boyle hasn't had the best year but selling him for change to a rival would be madness.

[JimBHibees]

I suspect he'll want away and Lennon will sell if the price is right.

Personally think the Kamberi/Lennon bickering in public has been contrived to allow him to leave this window. Probably the plan all along IMO maybe wrong. Hope we make good money out of him.

[JimBHibees]

Nae danger. Not good enough for that league.

Could definitely do it in that league IMO.

[flash]

Can't help but think Scott Allan would make any striker look better with those passes of his.

[Time For Heroes]

Could definitely do it in that league IMO.

My thinking too, I live in England and have seen quite a few Championship games in the last few years, he'd definately make the grade imo

He's been pish this season because he's played practically every position bar goalie and centre back. It's no wonder his form has suffered.

Scott Allan appears to have turned into Lionel Messi in the last 6 months.

It's all relative. At his best he was our Messi.

Tbh I was pretty critical of people putting too much emphasis on signing Scott Allan in the summer as I was quite relaxed that if we never got him we’d get someone just as good.

I’ve changed my tune though as I think we really need genuine quality signed for the first 11 and he fits the bill perfectly, I know it’ll take him a Few weeks to get up to speed but that’s fine.

Imo we really need Scott Allan to sign this window.

[staunchhibby]

Not buying in to this hype surrounding Allan till I see it official announced.

We could obviously do with him but the expectations of what he's going to deliver are getting wildly out of control. He was great for us last year but the way some on here are talking, ye'd think he was on the shortlist for the Balon D'or.

The boy hasn't played 1 minute of first team football since May.

With the criticism directed at most of the current squad am sure Brooster would take Lionel Richie at this stage 😜

I don’t think people are suggesting he’s some sort of world beater. There could however be a reasonable arguement put forward that he was every bit as good as SJM when he came in for the 2nd half of the season last season. A player of that ability could transform our team massively.

Not sure it's been contrived, but it certainly could help Kamberi to make the decision to leave

This is my point. He'd improve it but i not convinced it's going to be massive. He hasn't played a game for 8 months so it'll take him a number of weeks to get up to speed. It may even be next season before he kicks in.

He also is a bit of a luxury as he's not the type to put a shift in. As a result, we have to have the right players around him, i.e. McGinn, McGeouch to compensate for that.

[mcfly]

So reading these last few pages Hyndman is away

Potentially Kamberi, boyle and Ambrose are away

We already have a small squad, how many are we planning on bringing in. This doesn’t seem to me to be a very positive situation and Lennon is under massive pressure to get this right.

This will be the 2nd Jan window in a row he will have applied massive changes to the squad.

I know it was last year but it was still only a month ago that he scored a superb goal against Celtc. He was also excellent at Ibrox. By all means criticise a player if you wish but try & apply some degree of impartiality.
