Summer 2019 transfer thread

[madhatter]

I don't think many will be leaving. Heckys already said the squad was too small last season with too many loans etc. I can't see us building a reasonable squad only to get rid of 3-4. Almost right back to having a tiny squad again. 1-2 will be leaving is my guess.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

I wonder if ojo will get the number 8 shirt

[MWHIBBIES]

Why is everyone so adamant Flo is leaving?

No idea, it is based on nothing. He is a cracking player and should be staying.

[SHODAN]

I wonder if ojo will get the number 8 shirt

He'll get #6.

[Brightside]

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.

Why do people keep saying rocky and flo are leaving. There has been nothing to suggest they will.

[660]

Diddy clubs like Aberdeen can’t compete with us anymore.

@mikewhitesport
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

What’s this “SPL” he speaks of? No such a thing.

[blackpoolhibs]

Why is everyone so adamant Flo is leaving?

I've seen a few say they think he could be away, especially if we sign McNulty, but i have not seen anyone say he's definitely away?

And nobody is adamant, i know its a dog eat dog world, but there's still room at the top for him at Easter Road.

[bill_reed]

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....

Reports of Slivka moving out of his house today.
He could be off or just moving to another gaff 🤔
Be good to beat Aberdeen to a player . Also saying Sunderland were interested in Ojo but waiting to unload players first .

Why do people keep saying rocky and flo are leaving. There has been nothing to suggest they will.

There's actually been a couple of things. Rocky's 'bigger club' interview, often an indicator of a move & Flo's been linked with a few clubs, most recently from Croatia. I don't want them to go but right now we have 21 players listed in our squad & we're hopeful of another 2 or 3. That also doesn't include several development players with 1st team experience. PH also said he was a fan of the loan system & at present we have 1. If we bring in another 2 or 3 & lose nobody I'll be delighted & a bit surprised.

When he mentioned the loans was he not meaning the loaning out of development players ? Sure it was in the interview about us pulling out the reserve league

Hopefully this Ojo thing isn't Dylan Bikey MK2. What a player he turned out to be after he was stolen away from us.

[Franck Stanton]

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.

Hmmmm....having never seen him play, thought we were getting a grafter/terrier type in Ojo. Don't get me wrong, happy we are signing him, but going by this, he isn't the d/m we were expecting.

[yerauldda]

What I think PH is looking for is someone who can drive us up the park and is full of energy. If he favoured a guy to sit in and protect the back 4 we would’ve kept Bartley or Milligan.

[brog]

It's certainly possible I misunderstood but I thought he gave an interview some time back where he said we had too many loan players but recognised it was a way for us to get players in we couldn't otherwise afford. Of course now that we're rich - - -! 😁

[660]

Bartley was crap for the last two years. He simply wasn’t good enough for Hibs.

Could well be correct, just a wee niggle having read the post about his style of play. Time will tell, will wait until he has played games for us before judging him.

[Allant1981]

I couldn't agree more with this. What I think Hecky is looking for is an all rounder but someone with drive, 100% effort and on the way to being box to box. Someone solid but who can keep the ball in tight situations and improve our presence and ball retention in midfield.

As you so simply put it, if he wanted a plain old DM he would have kept Milligan.

Bit strange that the boy that broke the story said Ojo is signing for Hibs but his actual BBC column just says both clubs have had bids accepted. Maybe not very confident in his “sources”.

I think it’s you that’s talking rubbish mate.

[Robbo6-2]

Hope Ojo signs as clearly he is the player Hecky wants in for that key position.

Again not a good career move for a ball playing centre mid to Aberdeen so hopefully he makes the right call.

[The Spaceman]

Where Ojo ends up will be really telling about how our newfound spending firepower stacks up Vs Aberdeen.

[Heisenberg]

He seems to be Heckingbottom’s first choice for that position. Would be brilliant to get him in for that reason alone. He was obviously happy with what we had agreed with him before so he’ll hopefully be happy enough to stick by that and come to us.

[Stuart93]

Prob down to personal terms and contract detail. And with two teams in for him, his agent will probably prolong things by playing one off against the other. Who blinks first?
European football will be a possible draw that The Sheep have in their favour. Maybe he'll wait to see how they go tonight.

[mayo hibee]

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.

Agree, he's tearing up the League of Ireland in the same way Daryl Horgan was a few years ago. Still an under 21 and keen to get back to the UK, he'd be a great (and cheap) signing for Hibs. I don't think the League of Ireland is a market our scouting team are really looking at though.

[Scott Allan Key]

Why do people keep saying rocky and flo are leaving. There has been nothing to suggest they will.It would weaken us massively and they have lengthy contracts. It's the kind of typical wallowing in loss, Hibs.net could do without.

Looks like Bohemians payed a small fee for him so would probably want to get their money back at least, it does look like he's out of contract in the winter?
Think he'd be a buy and loan back as it look like he's an attacking midfield player and would probably want to play football every week

Hopefully Aberdeen are pumped tonight to put him off going there. Bugger the coefficient

With Ojo looking very likely to be signing for us, I’d like to see us bring in 1 more midfielder & striker.

Obviously we may need to move a couple of players on to free up a wage or 2.

[Hibs90]

Just drove past someone in a Hibs trackie and a couple of people on Colinton Road...Hard to say if it was Ojo..could literally be anybody.

[Speedway]

Ojo is signing.

The guy doesn't seem to stay long at teams so hopefully he settles here and we see the best of him

I just wonder where that leaves Omeonga. He's doing his own training and not with Genoa - is Ojo instead of Omeonga?!

Nope.

Where would Omeonga play if we brought him in? I’d be tempted to give him a go at left wing, horgan on the right, and some combination of mallan, allan and ojo in the middle. Think we’d have a tenacious yet technically astute team midfield there, albeit perhaps slightly slow and relying on fullbacks bombing forward for pace, and hopefully a good mood kamberi.

Absolutely no way that Omeonga would be a good choice on the wing IMO.

If we do manage to get him in, it's all about competition for places, strength in numbers, and choosing particular set ups for certain opponents. It would be counterproductive to try and force our better players into a shape that doesn't suit them.

S****horpe United have accepted bids from both Hibs and Aberdeen but the Edinburgh club - who held talks with the Belgian last month before a contract dispute halted any move - are in pole position to sign the 27-year old.

Dont agree with Omeonga on the wing at all, nowhere near creative enough. He would be a handy option to have in the midfield but for me wouldn’t be a starter.

If we were to bring Ojo, Omeonga and McNulty it would certainly prove a lot of competition for places.

Not that it’s a massive issue, but our midfield must have an average height of about 5’8 so hope the new guys can mix it with the more physical teams

Bartley was crap for the last two years. He simply wasn’t good enough for Hibs.

That is your opinion of course from what you have seen and that's fair enough, I will give mine from what I have seen.

MB never IMO let Hibs down even when bit part player, he was vital in many many games over the whole of his tenure and for me will be fondly remembered for many years. Matty Jack is still talked about and so will Marvin.

[Chefki Kuqi]

I’d agree about getting another winger but I’m not sure about midfield, we could add Campbell and Stirling to that list and I think they will deserve gametime.

Unsure on a striker, depends on whether we play with one or two. If only one I’d say it’s not a priority.

McNulty and Omeonga will both be on wages we couldn’t match so the the best bet for either of those two are loans IMO.

Personally I don’t see the huge fuss over him, he made a good impact at the time as he had plenty energy, great attitude and closed players down well.

On the ball however he wasn’t as good, he could make a yard of space or nip past someone but his final ball, pass or shot was often lacking.

I’m not convinced about him defensively either if he was told to sit or be disciplined.

I like the guy and think he’s a good player, but I think some fans have hyped him up way too much. I don’t know if it’s because he’s a very likeable guy or what.

I think we used him wrong towards the end of last season.

We really had no creativity so we had to play him further forward than he’s probably good at.

As a busy industrious midfielder to win the ball and give it to the likes of Allan would be a good signing imo.

I can’t claim to have seen every game he played but I seem to remember him getting one or two assists after some good play. I’d agree that he’s not the answer defensively but I think he offers enough going forward, and enough energy for pressing, to be worth a punt. Like McNulty I’d be wary of paying a big fee but if we can get him for a reasonable price I think its a no brainer.

FWIW I think having a personality like him is good for the dressing room, I can’t quite put my finger on it but I reckon his sophisticated piano playing ways could set a good example for the rest of the chaps.

[BILLYHIBS]

Personally I don’t see the huge fuss over him, he made a good impact at the time as he had plenty energy, great attitude and closed players down well.

On the ball however he wasn’t as good, he could make a yard of space or nip past someone but his final ball, pass or shot was often lacking.

I’m not convinced about him defensively either if he was told to sit or be disciplined.

I like the guy and think he’s a good player, but I think some fans have hyped him up way too much. I don’t know if it’s because he’s a very likeable guy or what.
Agree with this!

He was very good at nicking the ball off opponents

Final third lacking but is still a young player and if he added that to his game what a player he would be

Wee Tam was a likeable wee guy was electric when he came on up at Dundee but is made of paper

Whatever happened to Bigibigi?

Hopefully we get Ojo tied doon soon. 😁

[Unseen work]

I can’t claim to have seen every game he played but I seem to remember him getting one or two assists after some good play. I’d agree that he’s not the answer defensively but I think he offers enough going forward, and enough energy for pressing, to be worth a punt. Like McNulty I’d be wary of paying a big fee but if we can get him for a reasonable price I think its a no brainer.

FWIW I think having a personality like him is good for the dressing room, I can’t quite put my finger on it but I reckon his sophisticated piano playing ways could set a good example for the rest of the chaps.

Think he got one assist and it was a peach against St Johnstone.

He certainly has ability but I think it’s just finding his proper position. I would take him back but like I said if we sign Ojo I can’t see him being a starter. Competition for places is always good though and we really need strength in depth.

[J-C]

To compete at or near the top we need as many decent quality players as possible, they need to be of a calibre to keep everyone on their toes, players cannot expect to be 1st picks and have to fight for the place in the team. At the moment Kamberi and Doidge are vying for the striker spot with Shaw able to fill in and can now play a bit wider, I can't see where McNulty fits in? and I can't us playing 4-4-2 very often as it leaves us light in the middle.

[04Sauzee]

Mark Atkinson tweets...

Derek McInnes didn’t sound overly confident on getting Funso Ojo to Aberdeen in post-match radio interview, although admittedly he’s often guarded on transfer stories. Hibs the slight favourites to win fight for his signature. No-nonsense No.6 who would fill Bartley/Milligan void

[Since452]

I wouldn’t worry.

Many reliable outlets claiming that we've had a bid accepted.

I don’t think negotiations over the contract will be that difficult to agree when we had one agreed with him about a month ago. The club will know what the player and agent want.

I'd be surprised if he didn't have other offers before, highly rated player who had championship teams eying him up in january available on a free (we thought) transfer!

Like someone’s said to me, the BBC reporter down there was interviewing Scunnys chairman and the players agent only last week so will be well clued up about goings on. He was the first to break Ojo to hibs in the first instance and first to reveal it was us and Aberdeen after him earlier today

The fact he says we’ve beaten Aberdeen to his signature is enough for this guy

I’d love to see him back think he offered a little of what we where missing from Mcginn when he came in, not trying to compare the 2 but we missed mcginns work-rate massively and omeonga gave us that, I do see your point in his final ball and decision making but he’s a young guy we’d need to hope that would improve with regular game time and a team and manager that trust him

Love to see the wee man back

[FilipinoHibs]

You reckon we could get those 4 for 1m. Would be fantastic business.
Would we have to bring money in through player sales?

Cash injection £1.25m, £500k from mortgage cleared and £1 m for McGinn getting to EPL. £2.75 million in total.

TBF we did that last season. Mallan, Horgan, Kamberi & Milligan all involved significant outlays as did the loan signings of McNulty & Steph. 18,000 crowds & Premiership payments make a huge difference.

Ron has already said cash injection can ho on squad. Not sure about the 500k and McGinn money. I would say 2 to 3 million to build indoor facility. The floating charge agreement indicates some if not all will be funded by loan from Ron.

It doesn't indicate that at all though does it. We could realistically be looking at a cash balance in our accounts of anything from about £6-9M depending on how much we have received for McGinn so far. We recorded a small profit for 2017/18 from a starting cash balance of £3.5m so presuming budgets haven't changed much and our income hasn't dropped drastically then we should have a significant cash surplus to use on such a project.

In case you were unaware, a message board is a place where popular, unpopular, thought through and non-thought through opinions are posted, sometimes even backed by evidence.

You can be happy, miserable or a nippy wee soul like Flash, often making a snidey comment in one sentence and then disappearing in a flash lest he/she/it be engaged in debate.

Best of all, there's an ignore button so I don't have to suffer your pish and you don't have to suffer mine. Use it if you want.

Now, Heckingbottom has spent money on non-impressive signings.

Non-impressive in pedigree, calibre and in pre-season; performance.

The one player that looks quality is the one signed by our two previous managers.

Add to this the uninspired displays we put in under his leadership, in the split fixtures last season, bar Tynecastle.

The early signs are not impressive and hopefully that will change.

In the meantime, I'm losing no sleep over potentially (hasn't even happened yet) losing out to the sheep on an injured 27 year old S****horpe player who has had one good season in his career.

In the meantime, I'm losing no sleep over potentially (hasn't even happened yet) losing out to the sheep on an injured 27 year old S****horpe player who has had one good season in his career.

Alright?

Buy your season tickets folks we've got a new PR man.

What an insipid response.

In case you were unaware, a message board is a place where popular, unpopular, thought through and non-thought through opinions are posted, sometimes even backed by evidence.

You can be happy, miserable or a nippy wee soul like Flash, often making a snidey comment in one sentence and then disappearing in a flash lest he/she/it be engaged in debate.

Best of all, there's an ignore button so I don't have to suffer your pish and you don't have to suffer mine. Use it if you want.

Now, Heckingbottom has spent money on non-impressive signings.

Non-impressive in pedigree, calibre and in pre-season; performance.

The one player that looks quality is the one signed by our two previous managers.

You’ve had a one night stand with Gail, haven’t you?

I think that if you can criticise the post split games you also have to give credit for turning our team around (with someone else's team). We went from free falling in 8th position to fighting for Europe.

You also have to realise where Scotland is now with signings. Financially we are miles behind other nations. Teams in league 1 and 2 in England can provide bigger wages than us. That's just where we are at now.

[Speedway]

When we put the mighty Accies and St. Johnstone to the sword and the like?

Fair punching above our weight he got us there, right enough.

Any transfer news?

Pre season hasn’t told us anything apart from some of our fans seem to dislike Heckingbottom already, for some strange reason.

Probably the same people who thought Neil Lennon was god.

An actual thought out response rather than just a dig. Thank you Barman.

Credit to him for our pre-split results when he came in, with the caveat that it was teams I expect Hibs to beat. Unqualified credit also for the Tynecastle victory.

When we had to punch at or above our weight, we saw a team and a manager who didn't deliver.

Your point on financials is beyond debate and I agree. That's where the manager comes in. When we sign Newell and he says it was the manager's presentation that swung him to sign for Hibs, I'm not impressed.

When a manager attracts Ambrose, Marciano, Archibald, Goram, Zemmama, Sauzee, Latapy, Zitelli, Stokes etc to the club, I am impressed.

What about the threadbare squad we had during his time? I will reserve judgement on all our signings and won’t make any ridiculous opinions based on Pre season game time. They might be good or crap time will tell, it the latter in sure PH will suffer the consequences with the backing he’s being given.

We'll all suffer consequences with the backing he's been given.

You really can be such a drama queen.

How many minutes hsve you see the new players play? How many minutes have you seem them perform for hibs in a competitive game?

Unless you have been personally been scouting these players, how do you know how awful they are?

The football climate was way different when we were signing the likes of Sauzee, Latapy etc. I mean we even had Caniggia turn up at Dundee in those days. Even Celtic with all their champions league money are operating in a different market now. Wont change until we can sort out a better tv deal.

I like Hecky and think he will do well. Unfortunately I fear that the manner in which Lennon left has resulted in many not giving the new guy a chance (not saying you fall into this category).

Any white smoke from Easter Road yet?

Not really. You troll the whole forum and I amongst others, call you out for it.

[Here’s Lucy!]

How you feeling about Naismith signing for your team? That’s dragged on a bit...


:confused:

Higgo, hope you’re not just going to leave it at that?

Bit of a accusatory comment to just leave hanging there, don’t you think?

Whether folk like Lennon or not, and I did, his record at the end was indefensible. He'd run out of ideas and probably worked his ticket.

I don't know what others feel but Lennon is the only manager we've had in decades who got angry at our underachievement. We were rarely unlucky according to him, he were either good enough or not good enough and not good enough was completely unacceptable to him.

He was also a bit radge, which is always a plus.

As we've discussed, Heckingbottom turned us round. Credit where it's due. He did so getting results that I'd expect any Hibs manager to get.

When we had to beat the bigger teams, (one who still smaller than us) we didn't, bar Hearts.

I want Hibs to win under any manager and any eleven that's on the park in the jersey. That doesn't mean blind support though.

I don't like the signings bar Scott Allan so far and I'm not impressed when I hear the manager speak or see his team play.

Unlike you, others can't debate that. When an opinon differs from their opinion, they attack. It's all they are capable of. That's social media in 2019.

With regard to aspirational signings, we didn't have money in the Miller days, quite the opposite and we could still attract quality players to the club. Stubbs and Lennon could do it once or twice too. I haven't seen evidence of that from Heckingbottom yet.
