Summer 2019 transfer thread

[inglisavhibs]

There was no conspiracy regarding Lennon leaving Hibs. I said all along that he did not get a pay off and that he had no inclination that Rodgers was leaving.

Indeed, he was heading to Europe to meet with representatives of an Australian club to finalise his contract with them when Celtic came calling at the last minute.

Celtic didn't know Rodgers was leaving FFS!. However, they had initially approached David Moyes. Lennon was not in the frame at that stage.

Were Celtic pissed off that they failed to get McGinn? I certainly hope so, but it was their own fault.

It was the new franchise at Western Melbourne. They also wanted Scott Brown as captain but didn't get him either.

[Causewayside PR]

Sure it wasn’t for you at the time.

Trying to say they weren’t bitter after McGinn?

Possible Lennon knew Rodgers was leaving?

Lennon left for sod all now has a great job on a long CL tract at the biggest club in Scotland. What did Hibs get for releasing him? 4 **** months, no compensation and window shoved in face while trying to get Allan again on loan.

It sounds very much like Lennon got a payout which is galling.
The whole chain of events stinks with Lennon leaving and Rodgers not long after. Even the odd details like Rodgers saying the Leicester deal all happened within 24 hours (definitely ballocks) and Lennon claiming he was all but on a plane to Doha when the call from Celtic came.
I fervently believe Lennon was tapped up by Celtic and it cost us a lot financially.

Maybe but zero evidence to prove any of this. I think it's far more likely he simply got lucky with the timing, especially as it was falling apart, for months before it came to a head and he left.

[Wakeyhibee]

So another honest mistake seems we have more of these than other clubs.

Making numerous game changing mistakes doesn't appear to have affected Wille Callum's career much.

Ross County had 2 pens for handball unbelievably turned down, thankfully it didn't change the outcome but it could have.

We have had some shockers of late, but I think we notice these more as it's against Hibs.

I can't think of a good ref in Scotland, that's the problem to me, not bias etc just incompetence.

[Slim Shady]

Did you know that Saturday's game was only the assistant referee's 9th senior game, and his first ever Premiership game?

Why would he make a deliberately wrong decision?

He'll pay for that mistake now. Back to the under 21s for him, methinks.

Fantasy!

He has been an Assistant Referee for over 3 years now In the Senior Leagues.

Saturday was his first SPL match however he has ran the line In several Championship matches and UEFA competitions.

Although it it was a horror mistake. Craig Ferguson Is regarded as one of the better ones with Sfa looking to him as their next FIFA Assistant Referee

I'm not going to be able to change your view because it's clearly what you want to believe, but none of that is true.

Anyway, that's enough Lennon chat. Any signing news?

Or puns?

Jordon Forster's header at Tynie is another that springs to mind.

A 5 yard onside decision which basically relegated us. Honest mistake though.

I’m assuming Kent signing tor Leeds won’t effect this?

no chance Rangers could afford to sign Kent

[HibbyAndy]

no chance Rangers could afford to sign Kent

I think that's why he implies he's signing for Leeds

[villahibs]

no chance Rangers could afford to sign Kent

No... but if they thought they’d get him back on loan then Middleton would probably have found himself behind both him and Jones.

Just hoping they don’t have second thoughts now Kent looks to be heading to Leeds.

[04Sauzee]

No... but if they thought they’d get him back on loan then Middleton would probably have found himself behind both him and Jones.

Just hoping they don’t have second thoughts now Kent looks to be heading to Leeds.They also have Jake Hastie, wonder what will happen with him.

[Callum_62]

I think that's why he implies he's signing for Leeds

my poorly put point was that Kent was never a realistic signing for Rangers since Liverpool said they arnt loaning him again

Hastie didnt even make the squad on the weekend - behind Aribo and Jones it appears

[04Sauzee]

Liam Burt signs for Celtic

That's an interesting one.

It is indeed. Think he is 22. Was at Dumbarton then Alloa on loan...can’t recall him being a standout ..

[CapitalGreen]

Spurs signing Dybala. And maybe coutinho 😧

[The 90+2]

Yes, it will make it an easier task to pump they bigoted ****s next time we play 👍

[Unseen work]

Could be a couple of good players available from rangers as I never quite realised how big their squad is. They’ll undoubtedly be looking to offload a couple


A. McGregor
W. Foderingham
A. Firth



C. Goldson
N. Katic
F. Helander
G. Edmundson
B. Barisic
J. Tavernier
J. Flanagan
M. Polster


A. Halliday
G. Kamara
S. Arfield

G. Dorrans
Ryan Jack
J. Holt
G. Docherty
Joe Aribo
J. Murphy
J. Jones
Joe Dodoo
J. Hastie
G. Middleton
Sheyi Ojo
E. Grezda



A. Morelos
J. Defoe
G. Stewart


The ones in bold will most likely be off either on permanents or loans id imagine. The most attractive I would say is Docherty however would command a big fee or loan to England. With Middleton set to come in I cant see us loaning anyone else from them.

Guys like Holt and Halliday would be good additions imo which I appreciate I’m going to get slated for. Both have the energy and bit of bite were lacking though. Holt is unbelievably only 26? And Halliday 27?

Murphy and Dorrans both have quality however have injury issues.

[1van Sprou7e]

If we were to pump rangers on Saturday (don't think it's very likely but as we know not impossible), think there's any chance they could cancel the loan out of fear of strengthening us?

[California-Hibs]

Spurs are now favourites to sign Coutinho, Dybala, Fernandes, Sessegnon and Lo Celso, will be surprised if any of them happen 😂. Dybala cycle could see Eriksen going to United and Pogba leaving for Madrid/Juve. Time will tell though, Looking forward to deadline day on Thursday.

[California-Hibs]

And I fear we will get pumped on Sunday. New signing could be found out.

I'll be amazed if we get anything from Sundays game. Could be a long afternoon for us. We will definitely get a glimpse of what our new signings are made of

[Since452]

And I fear we will get pumped on Sunday. New signing could be found out.

Damage limitation i think

[BILLYHIBS]

The Rangers were no world beaters on Sunday

They struggled against a well organised but average Kilmarnock side

Hecky will have us well organised and I am sure that if the new recruits did not realise the standard of the Scottish Premiership was faster and better than they had realised they are about to find out

Looking at season to date I think they already know that

St Mirren were very good on Saturday

Keep the faith!

I wouldn't say I fear it but there is a chance. Rangers were blowing teams away at Ibrox last year. They look like they're built to do the same again this year but they also looked like they'd probably improved (until the Kilmarnock game anyway).

We'll need to be at our absolute best to even compete imo. :agree:

16 midfielders.. presume they haven't learnt their lesson from the last club going bust. :rolleyes:

[we are hibs]

They see Halliday as a part of the squad. He usually fills in at left back. Doubt he will leave them. And he certainly wont be coming here.

[SHODAN]

We need to get Allan in the EEN begging for his mate Halliday to come to the Hibees.

[jacomo]

Damage limitation i think


If I have a worry about Hecky, it is an excessive caution against the ugly sisters.

When we have taken the game to them we have often done well. I get that our new players are still settling in, but they should be highly motivated v the Huns and I will be looking for them to try and impose themselves on the game.

Gave Celtic far TOO much respect in the Scottish Cup at Easter Road

If we still had Lenny as Manager we would have been in their faces closed them down immediately had someone on Broony and we would have knocked them out imho

If we still had “Lenny” we probably would’ve finished in the bottom six and Kamberi would probably be out the door.

[SHODAN]

If we still had “Lenny” we probably would’ve finished in the bottom six and Kamberi would probably be out the door.

If we still had "Lenny" we'd have lost the game 2-0 anyway and Kamberi would have been blamed for literally everything despite playing about ten minutes.

If we still had “Lenny” we probably would’ve finished in the bottom six and Kamberi would probably be out the door.

Doesn’t mean he’s not right.

Think you’re both correct fwiw

[jonny]

I think the fact Rangers have an important game in Denmark on Thursday night may work in our favour.
Teams are rarely at their best on the weekend following an away European match.
I think it'll be a close game on Sunday, a goal either way or a draw.

[Caversham Green]

In non-Hibs transfer news, Reading have just signed Pele. And Puscas.

Probably not the original ones though.

[BILLYHIBS]

If we still had “Lenny” we probably would’ve finished in the bottom six and Kamberi would probably be out the door.

Agree

Still think we would have beaten Celtic

OP is correct

HIBS always expect to beat everyone at ER

As soon as Hecky realises that the better 😁

[Saint Hibee]

Who'd be better at the same cost?

I think in the current transfer market, where you get Harry Maguire and Wan Bissaka going to Man Utd for £80m and £50m, Tyrone Mings costs Villa £20m and Oli McBurnie costs Sheff Utd £17.5m......Kieran Tierney is a great buy for £25m.

Scottish Championship goals.

[neil7908]

The window closing early in England might act against us.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong but English clubs will still be able to sign unattached players after their window closes. Therefore if a club down south can't get their main deals done in time they might be inclined to take a close look at players without a club who would still be able to sign.

All speculation of course.

[CapitalGreen]

Whittaker to right back, Mackie in at left back.

Could have done with SDG this weekend, almost guaranteed a goal.

Take the green goggles off and the Huns were pumping us in both draws at ER last season, just didn't finish their chances. We were very fortunate in both that it wasn't a skelping.

[MWHIBBIES]

Take the green goggles off and the Huns were pumping us in both draws at ER last season, just didn't finish their chances. We were very fortunate in both that it wasn't a skelping.

By that logic though we pumped St Mirren last weekend. Did it feel like a pumping from the stand? Definitely not.

I can't believe there are so many negative posters on here now. I'm all for having an opinion but it's getting ridiculous. The constant moaning is getting tiresome. There is nothing Hecky has done to suggest we are not going to have a decent season. We could be turned over by der Hun on Sunday but we could also get something from the game especially if the euro game has taken it out on them. I'm sure we will get in at least two more players before the end of the window.

What a rumour during the build up to a Sevco match? Never!

[Borderhibbie76]

I can't believe there are so many negative posters on here now. I'm all for having an opinion but it's getting ridiculous. The constant moaning is getting tiresome. There is nothing Hecky has done to suggest we are not going to have a decent season. We could be turned over by der Hun on Sunday but we could also get something from the game especially if the euro game has taken it out on them. I'm sure we will get in at least two more players before the end of the window.
Trust our manager to know what he is doing. Come on you greens. Ggtth. Over and out.Thought it was only me feeling this way on here..the constant negativity is draining from some posters...I find myself coming in here less and less these days because of it. It says something when the St Mirren manager is more complementary about us at the weekend than a number of posters on here...its dreadful from so called Hibs fans. Hecky has done nothing in his time in charge to warrant the negativity at all...its like some "fans" want him to fail. I dread the reaction when we do get a couple of bad results

Why are Celtic fans going radge about Tierney on Twitter? Who cares if he’s a boyhood fan, he’s given them great service and has seen Robertson do so well at a big English club so he’s going to give it a go. Celtic fans truly are mental.

Cracking move for him though, going to the third biggest club in England in the biggest league in the world while trebling his wage - good on him!

It all comes down to wages though. Celtic werent paying Tierney the wages of a £25 million player. Just as Hibs , if we did get a massive chunk of further sell on for McGinn , we wouldnt go out and spend even close to a £1 million on one player as it blows the wage structure. Yes, Celtic can pay well outwith our structure but they are still well below EPL wages and probabky even top Championship

Scottish clubs credited with an interest in Louis Moult.

Would love if we got him, great striker. Him, Kamberi and Doidge would be a very good trio, only issue would be keeping them all happy.

Imagine Aberdeen are after him, were constantly linked with him before.

Mckenna and Cosgrove are also attracting interest so they may have options such as Moult lined up. They’re also meant to be after Jason Kerr from Saints.

Lenny was certainly a fan so wouldn’t put it past him. Only thing is the fans made it very clear they don’t want him and they already have Johnstone, Shved, Morgan, Hayes, Forrest and Sinclair able to play there. As you said though I imagine Sinclair will be leaving.

A guy on Twitter is hinting Celtic and Rangers May be sniffing about Barker. Surely the last thing rangers need is a winger?

Hearts allegedly close to signing Glenn Whelan and Loïc Damour. Don’t know how much legs Whelan has left in him but was an important player last year for Villa and Damour looks like he would be a very good addition

if they get those 2 along with

Halkett
Walker
Washington
Naismith

Potentially Lafferty back too?

It looks a very good window for them imo. Don’t quite know how they’re funding it all however.

We need to add real quality to us that come in as first picks. Also more players that will not be bullied against the likes of Aberdeen and Hearts. Bartley, Fyvie, McGinn etc managed to stop it and compete however I can’t help but feel right now we’re very soft.

[CMurdoch]

Ariyibi? Where are you seeing that?

Think he is making it up.
I thought the guy did well on the left wing at Motherwell last season.
Would be a decent addition at Easter Road.

Don’t think at club like ours we should be signing anyone over 25 ideally, we need to be signing players where there’s a possibility of a future sell on, likes of Doig,James and vela have all in the past been linked with decent money moves we’ll be hoping they get back to those levels anyone over 30 although capable of doing us a turn is throwing money away to a player who will more than likely leave on a free

It doesn’t matter what age they are in regards to impact they can have for us I’m not denying that we’ve had plenty players over the years over 25 make a good impact, it does matter in the long run on our ability to spend transfer fees or higher wages if all we’re relying on to improve is high attendances and prize money

How many players have we sold for big money in the time since we were relegated? We seem to be progressing just fine, yes it's always good to get a player like mcginn for example and then see him leave for a big(in our terms) fee but it's about getting the right team on the park, not what may happen in 2 or 3 years time with a sell on fee

It is about getting the right team on the park absolutely if that team is below 25 there’s a higher opportunity of some players being sold on e.g mcginn and the others hanging around for us to benefit from e.g McGregor, Gray we’d then be in a position to sign a higher quality e.g omeonga or offer better contacts to keep players e.g McGeouch

Think it’s an agree to disagree here mate we could go round in circles all day on this your way will obviously work to a point but if we’re ever going to close the gap with the great unwashed we need to be making bigger money and spending what we have smarter

[Unseen work]

They were certainly linked with him last month however have since got Andre Green on loan from Villa. Think they would be a bit sceptical paying a fee and big wages for Barker given his injury record and that he wasn’t first choice.

Hopefully he is still with City come 5pm and they’re desperate to get him off their books so we get him for a small fee/loan.

Hes a hell of a player on his day, his issue is getting fit and enjoying his football. He needs somewhere where he plays regularly.

I imagine Heckingbottom would like him as he can carry the ball with ease and has good pace.

Sorry if this has been covered earlier but with the English transfer window closing today are we at risk of losing anyone today? Probably only Kamberi that I can think of but the talk of him leaving seems to have gone quiet.

Don’t think he was anywhere near as good as the media, or even the rest of the country are saying.

Kent was a carbon copy of Barker for us imo. End product wasn’t great but could beat people for fun.

Would have loved him back at Hibs and reckon he’ll do very well at the Huns unfortunately. If he can keep fit that is.

[Saint Hibee]

I would have been delighted if Barker had come back to us, so I’m not going to pretend that I’m not gutted he’s (apparently) gone to them.

[The_Horde]

Have I missed something on the Middleton loan? Seems to be under wraps. If it’s not being announced till after the game against them, why? Is he playing for them? Would announcing the deal impact on the match? :confused:

Maybe they were waiting on getting BB in the door first.

[jacomo]

He said he had to work on getting the average age of the squad down. Now I dunno about you but when I undertake a work project I don't complete it and then decide to undo my work almost instantly.


Job done then.

Signing one player in his early 30s doesn’t invalidate that.

Likewise but don’t think he was ever coming back to us on the wage structure we have

I'll wait until I see a reflection of Ibrox in the window of Brandon Barkers car on his instagram story before I make any opinion on him going there.

I'd hazard a guess and say there's only 2 clubs in Scotland with a wage structure capable of signing Barker on a free.

I agree, I liked Barker but he was very raw. Would have been really pleased if he I’d come back but he’s never a £7m player in the same way I don’t think Kent is worth anywhere near that.

[BILLYHIBS]

I wonder if The Rangers in their new best pals act have hit us with the “rope a dope”?
Giving us Middleton to put us off the Barker scent
How long does a medical take these days? 😁

[HIGHLANDLEITHER]

well yes , If they’ve robbed a bank that is rather against the law [emoji23]


The high net worth individual funding some of Hearts stuff is apparently doing it to reduce some of his tax liabilities...

Rangers loans are from existing directors..so no suggestion of impropriety..afaik.

I do hear that Rangers are considering listing on the AIM exchange as a way to create new investment
That would be difficult as they would require a Nominated Advisor. The last one resigned and despite King stating he had other options no other company would accept them. It would also mean more inspection of their accounts.

Or telling us we can have Middleton then pulling the rug when there’s no time to get another winger in.

I reckon it's "Rangers" choice. If he comes to Hibs before the game he could be telling his new team mates what they've been doing in training, which players are on form and which are carrying injuries etc. In fact, if he has to play a whole season here I suspect he would be doing that.

[BILLYHIBS]

Yeah! Also wonder if Hecky wants to keep him at arms length until after The Rangers game

Would not want him passing on any of our secrets 😁

[JohnM1875]

Neither can I.

It’s a rumour with no substance.

Still, it’s a kick in the stanes, making me sick etc::confused:

Been reported on Sky Sports News. He's on his way to complete his medical.

[FilipinoHibs]

Feels like a kick in the guts.

Put in a robust challenge on him and he’ll be out for months. Easy.

Yes, I think that's highly likely.

Nothing to stop them doing a private placement or issue more shares as unquote company.plenty would line up to facilitate and take their fee. But don think there would be an appetite given their financial situation Fans are saturated with shares.

[sean04]

Yes, I think that's highly likely.

I don't want him at hibs unless it's a permanent deal. Not sure how complete a player he is. Can't get in the rangers squad

I get that but what’s the harm in saying that he has passed a medical and will join his new team mates on Monday morning next week. The medical, I assume, has gone ok, but to say nowt at all just prolongs doubt and more speculation. :dunno:

Good. More money for us when another club come calling

That means it will be a serious transfer fee next summer when he moves.

[brog]

The lakuku or however you spell it transfer to Milan now going through may change that I have not read anywhere he has signed new improved contract yet with villa so you never know

There is zero chance of SJM being sold in this window & not much different in next. It was paper talk only.

To sign a 3 year contract for the govan mob.
Any thoughts ??

Makes sense

Villa don't need to sell any time soon. Spent a lot of money this summer and potentially another 32mill today

[Hibbyradge]

See transfer thread for thoughts :wink:

[Since452]

My thoughts are Celtic will be winning the league pretty comfortably

[Paloschi]

Could we go for Scott Sinclair on loan? We'd be in a strong position as the window closes in England today. Even if we could offer 25% of his wages or something?

[sean04]

Sickner. As much as I like him his wages combined with his injury proneness it's to much of a high risk for hibs. Would be 1 of our top earners

Gutted. See the Huns already changed his wiki entry to say he hates the Pope.
