Any of the new scun Thorpe players, players that would be classes as defensive midfield players do you know?

Not sure if it's too up to date but according to Transfermarkt, no. Just defenders and a winger

sorry article didn't say, just that it was a winger today

[eastcoasthibby]

Wow......you could tell that after him only being on the pitch for 30 min. Give the boy a chance ffs

Half a game at Arbroath and 30 minutes at Dunfermline ....did you read the full message ...or a selected part only , it's an opinion, I want us to be looking at better quality than what I thought I saw !!!

[04Sauzee]

Tom Eaves has taken to twitter to announce he's a leaving Gillingham with no word as to where he's going.

I know we were reportedly interested in him but I'm pretty sure it won't be hibs he will end up at.

With him being 6'5 could he be Hearts bound?

Based on his size and YouTube clips I would say he is too similar to Doidge for it to be us he’s joining.

Agreed I don't think it will be us. Not even sure if our interest was genuine

[we are hibs]

Unless mcnulty isn't arriving or Shaw is going out on loan then he won't be joining us.

Off to Hull according to my Gills supporting mate

[h18eeynick]

Was speaking to Shaws grandad last night at the game and he said that Olly has been working hard all summer break on his speed work as others have mentioned - he looks a lot faster. Even worked out every day on holiday in Tenerife which I guess most pro players will do these days. Really hope it works out well this season for him - time we had another home grown forward making top grade !

I think he’s looking good so far and it’s a shame he’s not got a goal yet. Apart from the speed there seems to be a bit more aggression about him. I think he’ll come good this season.

Lets hope not - saw him in action live once last season and he is a handful.
Looked a class up from the guys they have been working with (Ikpeazu, Vanacek, Juanma etc) and someone who could - with the right coaching - go one or two steps up from the Gills.

Won't happen, it'll probably be another English club he's heading to. Hearts have Uche, Washington, Maclean, Claire and will still be looking to bring Naismith in.

I wouldn’t be averse to seeing if he can do a job out wide. I have my reservations about his decision making at the heart of the attack but if he’s worked on his speed and he’s given what I think is a simpler job then I think we could get more use out of him. My main feeling is we’re lacking out wide if Boyle is injured and Newell isn’t firing, and if Kamberi/Doidge retain form then in a 3 man midfield he’ll struggle to get games, especially with rumours of McNulty returning.

[ekhibee]

I reckon Shaw's main problem (if you could call it a problem) was that a couple of seasons ago he played well on the 1 or 2 occasions, scoring against Celtic, etc. I think a lot of people probably expected him to kick on from there last season but for one reason or another it never happened, this season is a big season for him. I'd love to see him make a success of it, I can't help feeling if we let him go we'd be missing out on a young player with definite ability, but he's got to do more than he did last season.

[SHODAN]

Yup. Hears are sorted for strikers and in any case I think Eaves will be looking to go to a bigger club.

He started the season well last year in terms of goals scored but didn’t kick on from there So this has to be his Season if he is to make it at Hibs imo

I’d give him another year or two if this isn’t the one, he’s got plenty of time to develop and won’t cost much. If he wants to leave for regular first team football though then that’d be understandable.

[Juice-Terry]

The problem Lennon has is signing a striker that will be happy to be 3rd or 4th choice in a system with only 1 up front. Someone expensive or with lots of options will go elsewhere so for that kind of signing he needs to take a bit of a punt on someone.

We are probably in the same position to an extent.

True. I also don’t think Edouard is up to much. I think they’re relying on Griffiths hitting the ground running or else they could be in a bit bother.

[Northernhibee]

FWIW I don't think he's worth a fee. I wasn't as wowed with him as I should have been for his goal return and I feel he'd be a Keatings type striker in terms of goal return for us.

[Hibeesmad]

FWIW I don't think he's worth a fee. I wasn't as wowed with him as I should have been for his goal return and I feel he'd be a Keatings type striker in terms of goal return for us.

I think McNulty would score at least 15 goals a season in this league

You can't say that on here. Deary me.

[Northernhibee]

Possibly, I may be wrong, but I fear he's the sort of striker who'll get a little good burst of scoring goals but will then go for a while without scoring. For the national team and against Hearts he missed sitters and he never recovered.

I honestly think we can get better if we're willing to pay a fee.

Almost every single striker on the planet will be like that, to get a striker who will score almost every single game would cost millions, even then you have no guarantee, if we got mcnulty for a decent price I think he would be a decent signing

[The 90+2]

Lennon won’t be there by Christmas!

If that happens it will be because of all the religious hatred towards him and it’s a disgrace he’s been hounded out and absolutely nothing to do with his management skills.

[K-Zazu]

I think Lennon has a better win ratio than Rodgers. He is the perfect fit for Celtic and will do well.

[The_Horde]

But when they're not scoring you want them creating or causing problems. Nulty ran about a lot but didn't offer too much other than scoring, generally.

[ancient hibee]

And there was me thinking he was instrumental in Horgan’s first goal at Tynecastle.

"Generally".

[GloryGlory]

I'm old enough to remember someone like, oh - Gerd Muller didn't offer too much apart from scoring. :greengrin

And before anyone starts - I ain't comparing any Hibs striker to the great Gerd Muller!

[MWHIBBIES]

True. I also don’t think Edouard is up to much. I think they’re relying on Griffiths hitting the ground running or else they could be in a bit bother.

Edouard is a better player than Griffith's.

[BILLYHIBS]

I would take Edouard in a heartbeat

He is quality and will go for millions

[Hibs90]

I don't dislike McNulty as a player or person but I certainly don't think he is worth paying a huge fee for. If we are willing to fork out on a new striker then I think we may possibly be able to do better for the kinda fee we are talking about. Before anyone says who? That's not my job to scout.

McNulty hit the ground running but again he didn't score for two months, missed that sitter for Scotland and few for us after that. And aside from the assist at Tynecastle during the goalless spell he didn't contribute alot. I am in no doubts he would score a few goals but I don't think that is worth paying 5/6/700k for him as he is not exactly a prolific striker going by what we have seen and his previous clubs.

If we can get him for a similar fee to Doidge then sure bring him in but I certainly wouldn't be spending lots.

[calumhibee1]

Edouard is a better player than Griffith's.

Not for me. Griffiths goals record at Celtic and also over his whole career blows Edouards out the water and it’s also over a much longer period. Throw in his outstanding set piece ability and I’d take Griffiths in my team ahead of Edouard every single time.

[Allant1981]

But when they're not scoring you want them creating or causing problems. Nulty ran about a lot but didn't offer too much other than scoring, generally.

Surely him "running about" a bit is making more space for others to run into? And if he done nothing all game every game except score I'd happily take that from a striker

[Tobias Funke]

Not for me. Griffiths goals record at Celtic and also over his whole career blows Edouards out the water and it’s also over a much longer period. Throw in his outstanding set piece ability and I’d take Griffiths in my team ahead of Edouard every single time.

Spot on :aok: Griffiths ahead of Awesome Edward every time for me.

[BILLYHIBS]

Griffiths is a cult Hibees hero his reputation goal scoring prowess and dead ball ability goes before him

Edouard is a young man starting out in his career he is a big game player and you just get the vibe he sees Celtic as a stepping stone to something better

[ekhibee]

I'd take him back for sure, just not as sexually aroused as others appear to be about the prospect.

[Unseen work]

Moon looked like he had something about him, really good touch and balance, would be a good signing for other Scottish teams imo.

unfoetnatly he just wasn’t getting involved enough in the games.

Unsure if this means anything re McNulty as Moon was playing as a winger for us

[we are hibs]

Just stats then, because there is alot more to it than that. Edouard is a better all round player.

I agree with you. Overall as a player and his general play Edouard is ahead of him. I would rather Griffiths one on one with the keeper in the last minute though. And I think over a season if they played the same amount of games Griffiths would have more goals.

[Hibeesmad]

Edouard took his one on one very well against them in the final 😁

[calumhibee1]

Again, not for me. He’s better at some things than Griffiths. Griffiths is better at some things than him, like putting the ball in the net, creating his own chances, scoring from absolutely nothing and set pieces. I’d value what Griffiths brings more than Edouard and for me he’s a better player. Of course Edouard is young and may be a better player in future. But for next season if I was a Celtic fan I’d be counting on Griffiths to get the goals to win the league, not OE.

Thanks again.

[CMurdoch]

Article says he's been told to find another club.

The essence of the McNulty conundrum and the elephant in the room is the remaining 3 years of McNulty's massive **** off contract.
Reading would be delighted to sell him to us for £250k if he would leave without a gigantic pay off.
Reading want to use his and the wages of 6 other players to enable them to have the finance to bring in new players.
McNulty to Hibs ain't happenin' unless on a loan, which would at least give Reading some return but only if they can't manage to punt him on to an English team with deeper pockets than us.

The essence of the McNulty conundrum and the elephant in the room is the remaining 3 years of McNulty's massive **** off contract.
Reading would be delighted to sell him to us for £250k if he would leave without a gigantic pay off.
Reading want to use his and the wages of 6 other players to enable them to have the finance to bring in new players.

How big is this “massive **** off contract” he is on at Reading, do we know?

How much money a week do you think Reading had offer him to lure him away from his contract he had with League 2 Coventry? Do you think they are paying him considerably more than we are paying Doidge for example seeing as they had very similar scoring records in League 2?

Like everyone else on this board I have absolutely no idea what his wage figures are but if I had to guess i would say around £10k a week which over the remaining 3 years of his contract would equate to £1.5 million. Couldn't see us paying much more than a third of that per week which would leave McNulty almost £1 million down over 3 years if Reading don't pay him off. McNulty holds all the cards other than that of time ticking on his career. Just waiting on Reading to blink. Someone like Sunderland would be able to pay most of his wages and that would be a solution of sorts for Reading. Strikers are always in demand and that is probably the saving grace for them and McNulty.

If the figures are to be believed Reading paid £1million to Coventry for McNulty which is almost 4 times what i would say he is worth.
He probably merits a wage of about £3.5k a week and they may be paying him almost 3 times that.
If he was a success for them none of that would matter but as things stand it will almost be impossible for McNulty to get anywhere near that wage elsewhere. Reading are pretty screwed and are going to lose whatever happens. Can't see him at Hibs unless as a last resort for Reading.

[DetroitHibs]

Much rather we bought Moult for that kind of money that’s been mentioned.

You wonder if Hibs can offer minimum to reading say £250k, subsidize what he is losing with large sign on fee of say £150k and pay as you say £3.5k per week. The £150k up front is something he wouldn’t get and on the basis he is a success he would get a bigger move in say two years this equates to 1.5k per week and income of c£5k per week.

He gets to play, continues to play for national team, back home and opportunity for move to the club he probably want to move to if he keeps banging in the goals, the lesser greens.

You can see the attraction but you are right the lucrative Reading contract is the biggest issue.

[Sweet Left Peg]

I think that we need to be smart in the structure of our contracts. Not purely weekly wage. We can provide a platform for progression to a better level if the player wants it. We have proven that over a few years. But it has to be a two way thing.

We've had plenty players in the recent past that have come from a seemingly higher lever. Where are they now?
Wages wasted. The model has to be progressive for all concerned.

[DetroitHibs]

As much as I loved Cummings I don't want him back now. His game has always been limited. He made a big mistake imo not staying at us for another year anyway and working on his weaknesses.

[Souter96Mac]

Not sure if anyone else has posted this, but I had a quick look at S****horpe's website and seen they played Dundee in a friendly last Friday. Not sure if he's injured or anything, but Ojo wasn't in the squad at all. And they played two different elevens each half. I wonder if he's still trying to buy a move?

Ojo didn't turn up for pre season training, apparently. He's in dispute with the club about the release clause in his contract.

S****horpe have apparently accepted two bids for Ojo. The journalist reporting it currently doesn’t know who the clubs are.

Hopefully we're in the mix for him. I know Youtube can make anyone look amazing, but he seems to be that missing cog we need in midfield. If we were able to get him/another suitable defensive mid, McNulty and Omeonga, then we would have had some window. I suspect if we did make those 3 signings, then there would be a couple departures. Probably Slivka away, and a couple of the young lads away on loan.

[BILLYHIBS]

Can see Ojo signing for another team in England.

They will now see how unhappy he is and be happy at getting him for a low fee.

[SHODAN]

I doubt either of the teams will be us.

[Hibee Mac]

Can only be bad news that 2 bids have been accepted to be honest. Even if one of them is us my guess is there are not many teams who will be in the market for him that we can compete with for wages?

Unless Hecky's famous presentation has done its magic again...

Hibs would sell any player to Rangers if the price was right ....................and they paid upfront.
Some fans of both teams may think they wouldn't but it has no real basis in reality.

Imagine Gerrard on the phone to the Heck tomorrow:

Gerrard "Awright Hecky. Don't ask why but I would like to sign Steven Whittaker"
Hecky "How much yah dobber"
Gerrard "What aboot £100k upfront and another £100k once he plays 20 games.
Hecky "Gid yin Steevo. Make it £101k upfront and nae add ons"
Gerrard "Done"
Hecky "Yeh you have been. Leanne, Steven and I will be at Ibrox within the hour. Get Dave tae get the cakes in.

Anyone know if Moult is available ? Always thought he was a good player for Motherwell. To be honest, would rather see him in a Hibs strip than McNulty and would give better value for money

A great window if that's how it ends up but I can't see us getting both Stephane and Marc.

you may well be right, I'm just not used to seeing Hibs spend this kind of money!

My gut instinct though is that we have already spent quite a decent amount of money on Doidge so I can't see us spending another million pounds unless someone is heading for the door..

[makaveli1875]

Listened to Hecky on the radio before dunfermline game . he says he wants to get him back , Omeonga loved it here and wants to come back but its not as simple as that .

I think not being used to seeing us spend is why we are skeptical about it, but it’s hardly breaking the bank, it actually spending money we know we have available to spend... not including the savings on the STF loan we no longer have... let be positive.

Good news on Ojo by the sounds of things.

This isn't a link but I'd love to see us make a move for Daniel Mandroiu who plays for Bohemians in Ireland. I've been watching quite a few of there games over the last few months and also against Chelsea last night and he looks total class. If we wait another year we'll probably be priced out of it though.

Response to that from my mate -


He is a central mid, doesn’t like playing wide and it was obvious. Not sure he’s the defensive type though he isn’t scared of a tackle, in his good season he played alongside a grafter/terrier type so he could get forward.

Dunno either, but the £2.8m for McGinn wasn't £2.8m seen as St Mirren got 30% or so it's understood (I thought the fee was higher £3.2???)

We do have 500k released with the debt but we've paid 250k (something we don't normally do) and an undisclosed fee already.

There's the small matter of an indoor pitch to be paid for and I may be wrong but I thought some of the McGinn money was ring fenced for this.

With regards to the indoor pitch to be paid for it could either be paid by any McGinn monies that are due through add ons or possibly by the 7 figure cash investment. I reckon we have money available for the right player(s) if they become available and ojo will be one of them

It's looking good going forward but we don't run on thin air.

With a 7 figure cash injection that the press has quoted RG saying the club can spend as they see fit, including on the first team...

And with the McGinn promotion clause money...

And with a new owner who may inject more cahs as he sees fit...

Not so thin air from a few other perspectives.

It's that same local BBC report that says it's Hibs he's coming to I believe.

Yep thought i had implied that.

[Heisenberg]

BBC Scotland reporting a fee of around £125k accepted from both us and Aberdeen. Nothing about where he’s actually going.

Doesn’t say he has picked us as per original same journalist suggested. Fingers crossed though.

[Borderhibbie76]

Ojo, Omeonga and McNulty and that's us right?That would indeed be perfect and job done

With regards to the indoor pitch to be paid for it could either be paid by any McGinn monies that are due through add ons or possibly by the 7 figure cash investment. I reckon we have money available for the right player(s) if they become available and ojo will be one of them


It could well be this, if anyone ITK could tell us then great. But adding up all the top line figures we do know about, adding a 7 figure injection + £500k doesn't say what we actually have to spend given the things I mentioned.

It may also be that part of McGinns money went on he Mcnulty and Omeonga loans last year, I doubt they came cheap and more towards our top earners.

It's looking good we've paid Fee's for players we don't normally do, it looks like we're in for more but I doubt our playerbudget just jumped £4m as the sums above hinted at.

ISTR we paid fees for Kamberi, Mallan and Horgan last year.

[GreenCastle]

Ojo would be a very good signing. Quite similar to Omenoga the way he plays but with more experience.

Would be delighted if we sign him - get McNulty and Omenoga back and we are looking good.

Omega and Ojo - Belgium magic in midfield :greengrin

Exactly, I didn't list these. I think people are implying we have more to spend than is the case. Whilst obviously it is a lot better.

[BlackSheep]

Quite nice to be discussing actual Hibs rumours... the period since the take-over was too quiet.

[Heisenberg]

Saw a couple of folk describe Ojo and he sounds very similar to Dylan McGeouch. Really hope the guy that broke the story is right and he’s heading here instead of Aberdeen.

[Since452]

Desperate for us to sign this lad but know nothing about him. Reminds me of obsessing over the new kit despite having no intention of buying it. Why do Hibs take up so much of my thoughts?

[SHODAN]

£125k, another decent transfer fee from us.

[CapitalGreen]

Some posters on here will be devastated to hear that.

[Unseen work]

Really hope we get Ojo over the line, by the sounds of it he’s like McGeouch on the ball but has plenty of energy and dig without it.

Hibernian and Aberdeen have both had offers accepted by S****horpe United for defensive midfielder Funso Ojo.The Scottish Premiership clubs both submitted bids - thought to be in the region of £125,000 - for the Belgian. according to the BBC....

Yes but BBC journo down south is reporting he has turned down Aberdeen.

[madhatter]

Really hope we don't lose out to Aberdeen. Hope he proves as good as is suggested as long as he ends up with us.

Sources tell me S****horpe United midfielder Funso Ojo is set to join previously-interested SPL side Hibernian after the two clubs agreed a fee for the Belgian. It’s understood he’s negotiated a deal with #Hibs having turned down an offer from Aberdeen. #uti #Iron

Hope his sources are right. We'll know by tomorrow I'd say.

[brog]

I still think we'll see a couple of players leave with some fees involved. Slivka #1 to go with Rocky/Flo also possibles. Possibly also another couple released.

No like the sheep to try and steal our targets :confused:

Why is everyone so adamant Flo is leaving?
