Summer 2019 transfer thread

[Dunbar Hibee]

He wants back up the road. Reading have made clear he’s not part of the plans, I think he will be released.

You think wrong, I’m afraid.

[Dunbar Hibee]

He didn’t get the choice not to.

Nothing personal but that’s 2 posts from you I’ve quoted that are absolute lies. I’d find a new source if I was you 😂

Boy/girl/binary/non-binary seems adamant it's happening going by the posts.

More chance of Messi coming on loan

[Tiny_Tim]

Looks a big powerful and slightly awkward player.

Seems capable of playing numerous positions.

I’d imagine with who else is interested we won’t stand much of a chance.

But non of us are falling for it

[Spike Mandela]

Hibs should make a bid for Turnbull now that Celtic have pulled out. If the lad genuinely wants a move for football reasons and not money then Hibs could put together a deal that could see him get the right move eventually like McGinn.

Celtic will have pulled out because another club will look like they've pulled ahead and Lawell wants to make it look like they've been decisive.

[Robbo6-2]

And 20k a week 😂😂

Hibs had a valuation of McGinn. Playing the long game we will get it eventually.

Nope, who ever runs it just spouts nonsense, there's a lot of crappy fan sites on twitter, like most rumour sites, I take them all with a pinch of salt. Jackson was a player mentioned and has a connection to Hecky but the Newell signing was right out the blue, not one rumour or mention of him, which shows not everyone is ITK.

Not suggesting we offer £3m and £20k a week.

However you can load a deal in such a way that Motherwell get massive sell ons and the player pretty much gets guaranteed first team football, a decent wage increase and a potential big move in the future.

If the player is genuine about not going to Celtic for football reasons and has a good head on his shoulders it might be a wise move. If he only wants money he will head South for the biggest offer. We aren’t talking about a 30 year old Champions league winner we are talking about a young lad who had a decent first season at bottom six Motherwell.

Worth asking. If we don’t Aberdeen or Hearts might.

Aberdeen, Hibs and Hearts together could maybe make an offer Motherwell would accept. They have no reason to sell.

[04Sauzee]

Shaun Byrne has just signed for Dundee. That's a fantastic bit of business for Dundee.

Livingston will have some rebuilding job on their hands

I thought he looked really good for Livi at the start of the season but seems to have dropped out the team at the end.

Yeah I agree it is very unlikely. The only barometer I have is that we somehow managed to sign John McGinn whilst we were in the Championship.

No chance. We will just be wasting our time bidding for a player that Motherwell have made clear that they want £3M for which we cannot afford.

They rejected £2M from Barnsley for him last week.

[SHODAN]

If all the Scottish Premiership clubs outside Glasgow put in a combined offer for Turnbull and offered to share him on a weekly basis that might work. We would hopefully get a few good games out of him.

[MacGruber]

Turnbull has it all to prove for me. Very good half a season - goalscoring anyway. Be interesting to see how he develops.
Never watched Motherwell and thought who is this boy running the show that looked a 3 million pound player. Though I did find myself thinking is that Turnbull scored again! Maybe will be a superstar just think he is being judged a hell of an early. Personally thought Hastie looked the better of the 2. Time will tell all.

I personally cannot remember that.

Unless very unlikely Motherwell significantly drop their value for Turnbull that ends up being within our budget, then yes we might as well enquire but they have stated publicly the figure that they want - £3M.

They rejected bids of around £2M for him last week. We cannot afford even half of that.

We are just going to look silly and wasting our time going for a player that we can’t afford.

Jefferies confirmed that Kilmarnock have rejected a fourth bid from Rangers for Naismith, while Hibs made an offer in the region of 750,000 for the player which was also turned down.

There was talk of us having put in a bid of over £1m I’m sure. As people pointed out though we were never going to pay the wages that go with it. Seemed more like posturing and an attempt to make it look like we were going to reinvest more into the playing side than we did (not that there was anything wrong with spending the money the way that we did btw).

Sure John Collins wanted to sign him. I think this was even before the old rangers had him in their sights, sure we were quoted around 500k

[147lothian]

Collins wanted to sign him on the back of the money that came in for Brown Thompson and Fletcher, in hindsight Collins wanted the money for the right reasons, as it would have been a fantastic bit of business back then.

[Stevie Reid]

Intrigued by the Newell signing - although the opinions of the Rotherham fans that I’d read were very positive, it was mentioned more than once that defending is completely alien to him. I didn’t think that Heckingbottom would make allowances for such a player.

Yet I’m sure I read PH say that he’d seen him play at wingback before, which is a position that is 50% defending. I know he’ll obviously look to develop him further, but surely he can’t be as lazy as has been suggested?

I mean, the same could've been said for Allan at one point. He was certainly going it in his last spell. Players develope under different managers and systems.

30 games in the league is not half a season.

True. But I never said he played half a season, he was very good for half a season. Motherwell weren't good for 30 games, neither was Turnbull

He’s coming off a bad injury aswell im sure. We could definitely do with a player similar to him in midfield though.

[Unseen work]

Good signing for Aberdeen, no two ways about it .

However I’m not overly fussed about not getting him ( if we were in for him) , always think younger players on the up play better for us than signing older players.

Unsure of his fitness but can see Heckingbottom wanting real legs in his midfield.

I'd be surprised if we were to sign Devitt to be honest.

We have Allan, Mallan, Newell and Murray as attacking midfield options. Squad balance is calling for box to box/defensive midfielders, strikers, goalies and a right back.

I'd be over the moon if we signed him. I thought he was immense when we last played Killie at ER. Would be brilliant foil for Allan.

I agree. A midfield three of Mallan Mulumbu Allan would be v good.

[The Modfather]

I agree. A midfield three of Mallan Mulumbu Allan would be v good.

Mulumbu would be a good addition but that midfield wouldn’t have much drive or energy IMO. Good footballers but I think you would possibly have to replace Mallan with someone with the energy of Omeonga.

[MyJo]

Yeah, we need a physically strong defensive midfielder. Someone experienced to let the others play. A no nonesense destroyer. Someone that knows the Scottish game and can be relied on and good for the dressingroom..... I can't be the only one thinking that is Marvin Bartley 🤔😅

I think we are looking more for a McGinn type rather than Bartley.

Marv was great at what he did but didn’t contribute much to us going forward. We need a more dynamic, high energy, box to box midfielder who can get stuck in and defend but also drive us forward when in possession.

Marv got a nosebleed if he went beyond the centre circle :greengrin

[GloryGlory]

Anyone away hiding in the bushes at EM to see if there are any more new signings? :greengrin

Id be very surprised if we get a player from Celtic any time soon.

The Turnbull non transfer will have made their chief exec Peter even angrier with the diddy teams again refusing to just hand over their players

[Bob Box Fish]

I asked a while back and got informed today that we received 1 million from Aston Villa’s promotion with St Mirren receiving a third of the money. Still a decent chunk of cash, hopefully get invested in Omeonga 🤞.

[Hibee87]

That was the player though and not Motherwell refusing to 'hand over' their player. They accepted Celtics offer. Ironically if they had offered the same for McGinn last year, the chances are he would now be at Celtic.

Not what I have been told. You are right about the 3rd to St Mirren though. The bonus is in instalments and while the first instalment was chunky it was nowhere near £1m.

Nah I would say the opposite, we definitely need a Marv type player as we need someone who is willing to put the boot in. Remember a lot of the time we played marv and McGinn

We seem to have options in wide areas now so I wonder if he will go 451 with one up top and Boyle Horgan right and left midfield and asked to get forward. Then a stopper midfielder, a dynamic midfielder and a attacking mid. That would be Scott A in the attacking spot most likely and the other two to be recruited. Would McNulty if we get him fit the loan striker role. It's fun to speculate but probably a bit early as we don't know what formation we are likely to see and what type and number of central mids the Heck will choose.

Can't he be both? Haha.

Iv said before that i think we need 2 centre mids in. One box to box, high energy type who will be a first pick. Id like to see hibs spend a bit of money on this position as i think it is key position for us, we havent adequately replaced mcginn yet. I also think there will be a more defensive minded player who will compete with others for a spot and may be used in some games and not others. Someone with more of a physical presence but still athletic and able to get about the pitch.

I think both omeonga and mulumbu are good players but im not convinced either would give a good midfield balance when played with mallan, allan or slivka.

[Ozyhibby]

Was great for Cardiff season before last. Unless he's had a huge drop off last year he will be decent.

Add in a good quality box to box player and you have a good balance of midfielders to choose from.

If he had the will, he’d want to show them and everyone else they were wrong and he could make it. Look at Cummings. Got a worse injury at Hearts, was dumped and then picked up with us. Nothing knocked that lads confidence. He missed a penalty that relegated us, missed one in the semi of the SC and still had the plums to take the last one in the shoot out. He scored for fun against Hearts as he wanted to shove it up them and prove them wrong. Harris simply doesn’t have what it takes mentally.

Is there any particular reason why you are putting the boot in? Harris was an excellent prospect who was unlucky with injury?

For me the reason Alex hasn’t made it, is because of Alex, not Butcher and Malpas.

Have you got any evidence to suggest Alex Harris was swayed by nights out on the booze?

No and that’s not what I’m accusing him off, not even in the slightest.

Why bring that or mental weakness up then in the context of Alex Harris?

Flo and Whittaker both there..no Marciano - has he been given extended leave or do we think he’s off / been given more time to sort his future ?

Good to see Ryan back after his meniscus injury.

That was because of his hair not nights out :faf:

Alex had a real set back with his father passing in his teens and I would argue 'made it' at Hibs in a very dramatic (albeit short) debut season. He then had a terrible (potentially career ending) injury and was rushed back from it too soon v Aberdeen at Pittodrie if I remember rightly by a failing and desperate Butcher - something he should be held accountable for (Butcher). Definitely a 'what could have been' with Alex but having watched him as a young boy and posting about him since he was in is early teens there is no doubt in my mind he was a very, very talented footballer and a graceful attacking player. Like every footballer he had weaknesses but for me Butcher absolutely ruined any chance he had of fulfilling potential.

He's worked hard to be where he is and I'm sure even in his mind he thinks what could have been with a bit of luck and better guidance (in football). I wish him all the very best in life and football :aok:

[calumhibee1]

I’m not putting the boot in, nor do I really care about many ex players when they leave. I’m simply saying that blaming a players career failing on a manager is a poor excuse. It’s a forum your entitled to your opinions. I don’t think he made it as a professional player, you do.

He obviously didn’t have a great time of it under TB however that was a 29 game spell. If that has ruined his career than I’d agree with you, it’s more his fault than Butchers. Seems like a nice laddie but it’s a cop out to absolve him of any blame regarding how his career has panned out.

I think that was a reference to Guillaume Beuzelin and his hairstyle and nothing at all to do with the bevvy.

Good post!

[GreenCastle]

Why is there a question mark after your statement. I’m not disputing that he was a professional football player. My statement was, he doesn’t have the mentality to make it as a professional player. Just because you have played at a professional level, doesn’t mean you made it. How many players, play a season or two and just drop off in to obscurity. Alex fits the bill.

Well he obviously has made it as a professional footballer as he’s played for Hibs amp gary other teams.

You could say many Scottish players aren’t mentally strong enough to play higher level hence why they are in Scotland only rather than La Liga.

Many players have short careers due to injuries / bad luck / poor management - so many variables.

Your original post about Alex just seemed over the top considering you have no idea what the guy is like and what he’s been through.

[tonyrougier123]

Not a chance Kamara is coming to us.

Rangers fans absolutely love him and he has been brilliant since signing for them.

Great player,unfortunate that he ended up at ibrox,shrewd by gerrard getting him in ,guy has undoubted potential in my mind.definately the type we need imo.👍

[CapitalGreen]

Couple of extra days off along with Slivka and Newell.

A lot of people on here wanted Kamara for Hibs last summer. Too late now.

[PH91]

I would be surprised if we didn't enquire, would have been a great signing. I was desperate for him and allan to be brought in at the time as replacements for mcginn and allan!!

I am nit any way in the know but i imagine he was looking for a 'bigger' move than us and knew with his contract situation he would get good offers in january.

[Smartie]

There's only so much we should really boot Hibs for this.

As soon as he was at Dundee and playing well they slapped a big price tag on him, the kind of price we just don't pay.

With hindsight, and seeing how well he's done at Rangers, we'll argue we should have pushed the boat out for him. If we'd paid the £1m Dundee were looking for and he'd been a dud, we'd really be giving it in the neck to Hibs.

[Unseen work]

I think Alex just wasn’t good enough for us.

He burst into the scene when we were terrible and he provided a much needed spark, great link up play with Mcgivern? Down the left at times

Maybe he never got on great with Butcher but I wouldn’t say he ruined him.

He was given a chance by Stubbs, Lennon, Dundee, Queen of the South and Falkirk without kicking on.

i really thought he would grow into a great player but maybe he was just what we needed for that 5 months.

confidence comes and goes in football but that was a very long time ago and he’s yet to show that form again. We can’t blame that on Butcher bringing him back too early.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Alex Harris signs for Edinburgh City.

Safe to say his career hasn’t went the way we all expected.

Callum Antell, Handling, Harris and Callum Crane all there now.

Basically a mini hibs

James Mcdonaugh their managed worked with them all during his time as our head of academy.

I know that, I forgot to put a smiley after, just noticed that now.

I did mention in my original post on this subject about his injury, being brought back too soon and the bullying by the then management, just shows that if you miss a simple smiley in a post, the context gets lost as it was meant to be posted in jest.

[blackpoolhibs]

I thought he was going to turn out to be our next big thing, the way he burst onto the scene was so good, but he was injured and that was that.

I think to blame Butcher is not right, he hardly played for him, and he never followed him around the country to the various clubs he's been to since.

Harris in my opinion is just one of those who showed a bit of promise, but failed to follow it up long term.

I wish him well, football is a cut throat business, and while he did well for a short period of time, i think we did well getting Boyle in exchange.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

I don't know Harris at all but i wonder if he was mentally strong enough to play for Hibs. He maybe over thought it and took things to heart. Some guys brains are in their feet and they just get on with it but by all accounts Harris was a very bright lad and maybe couldn't handle it. His confidence looked absolutely shot under Butcher and Malpass.

[ian cruise]

I did, he was young, on loan to Berwick he was scoring for fun and has loads of time to develop. Unfortunately injuries alongside other factors meant that he never quite met that potential.

I always thought for someone that seemed so confident off the park he really lacked belief on the pitch.

He just never influenced matches, he just seemed to want to come on and play safe all the time. Maybe to do with how he was managed at the time and not encouraged to take risks, I’ve no idea but he may have had all the ability, unfortunately that’s not the only factor in making it at a club like Hibs.

Heard the St Mirren manager is going to chuck it because of transfer ideas and funds.

There were strong rumours he was going back to Ireland before the play-offs

[calumhibee1]

Likewise. Never looked like he was going to make it here from the moment he broke through imo.

There’s a lot to be said for Cummings and his sometimes over confidence. If the likes of Stanton, Handling and Harris they may well have stood half a chance.

Sorry it doesn’t fit your happy clapping narrative. I just posted the facts, much easier to blame it on Butcher and Malpas though :rolleyes:


You’re not posting facts, you’re posting an opinion.

You are entitled to do so, but the big problem right now is that people neither know nor care about the difference between the two.

There can be some of many factors why players don't make it and I don't know facts around why Danny didn't at Hibs so could only speculate. I did feel there was a big jump between Berwick and first team football and another loam to a slightly higher standard, even if it was the same league as us, would have served him well. The 4 year deal almost set him up to fail as immediately some were questioning it and expecting because of it that he should be a world beater.

Danny was outstanding for us in two matches. Away at Livi and that time he farcically got sent off in Glasgow then lost his place in the side to Scotty Rob, both times bang in the middle of the park, confidence flowing.
