Summer 2019 transfer thread

[CapitalGreen]

Is this certain?

Unlikely, always be wary of those who speak with certainty about confidential contractual agreements.

[Captain Trips]

Are a club with 12k plus ST holders anything from 1-5k Walk up fans each home game serious about challenging for the highest positions in the league? If so you either keep Kamberi or if we are given £2m ALL of it goes into football on the pitch be it wages or fees. Im not really interested or finding a need to make indoor pitches or the likes. We have managed up until now so if we can push on and actually be serious here stuff like indoor pitches can be paid for by on the field success.

[Smartie]

If Flo is sold can I say the "R" word again?

We cannot afford to be losing our best striker from a squad that has 2 senior strikers, even if we have a replacement lined up who scored a few for Humpty Bottom on the Wye FC or something. Yes, even if Bolton were once interested.

At any other time you'd probably say £2m for Flo would be a decent bit of business. This is not any other time.

[we are hibs]

Kamberi has started the season well. It was a truly scandelous decision to drop him last week on the back of (imo) his best performance in months against st.mirren. how can you demand consistency from players if you constantly change the team? Also i would seriously doubt most of the 2 million would be invested on the playing squad. Its a no from me

If selling Flo allows us to buy a new forward and a midfielder then I’m all for it.

Loads of time left in the transfer window and plenty loan options available with English Championship clubs out the equation.

[J-C]

Is this certain?

He was unwanted at Grasshoppers due to a fall out with their coach, we got him cheap at £100k due to it being written into the loan deal. They weren't looking for a sell on, just wanted rid, I don't think they expected him to play so well when he 1st came, their loss.

Sunderland wanted to buy him for over £1m but couldn't as we had 1st option with the clause.

[calumhibee1]

Last season you were very very vocal in your opposition to us doing business late towards the end of the transfer window, fast forward a year to this season and you are advocating selling our best striker 2 weeks before the window closes and replacing him with someone who has never scored a senior professional goal.

I wasn’t vocal against us doing any business late in the window. I was vocal against us doing most of it at the end of the window once Europe would be over as we’d be out and the league would be well under way.

As it stands we’re short, so we NEED to do business at the end of the window through necessity. But it would seem financially that we will only get what we need if we can move someone on.

He doesn’t get along well with coaches does he 😂

I suppose you're right. It might be a bit of a risk though - back on the poker theme I don't know how strong our bargaining position might be if clubs know we have a couple of million sloshing around and are absolutely desperate for a striker.

Flo has started the season well and would take a bit of replacing.

We're not far off having a very good first team, even if we lack depth and are weak in defensive midfield.

[J-C]

He doesn’t get along well with coaches does he 😂

His fall out at Grasshoppers is well documented as is the one with Lennon. I like Flo burnt get the feeling he can be a bit moody, when all is well he's great but at times he looks totally disinterested like last season. Whatever happens it's the bigger picture of Hibs that's important.

[AlbertK86]

Can’t sell Flo this late on in the Transfer window, be absolute madness.

Maybe if we have somebody else lined up we can.

Looking all the time said Hecky. There was rumours of Flo moving weeks ago so it would be foolish of club not to have been considering replacements

His moods reflect in his performances I think, hopefully he can build back some confidence and start banging back in the goals, starting today.

We had a list of 15 wingers immediately after Boyle got injured, it would be the same with forwards.

I think we’re a poor side just now with Flo so I think it’s a gamble worth taking if it allows us to get another midfielder in as well.

If it’s just a case of selling Flo and signing another forward to replace him I wouldn’t bother.

(I better whisper this but might also be handy to have a wee bit cash in reserve for a compensation package for Heckers in a few months if he genuinely thinks we have enough as it is)

[J-C]

You have no idea whether there is a sell-on fee for Kamberi or not. Having a purchase fee agreed for the end of the loan does not indicate the prescribed of one either way. You also have no idea what % the sell on fee is for Marciano.

No I don't know the exact sell on see but it is significant.

Again, you have no idea whether there is a sell-on. The fact we paid £100k for him is no indication to whether a sell in fee exists or not. Not only are you processing to have inside knowledge of Hibs, you are now processing to have inside knowledge of Grasshoppers and whether they were looking for a sell on, were you involved in the negotiations?

[J-C]

Is Flo and Doidge not similar, if were playing 1up top then maybe we're looking at a different type of forward, more like an all round attacker which is the modern type.

I'd assume it would've been in the press just like we know Rocky has one and just like we knew McGinn had one, when a player signs it's generally in the press. Nothing on Flo except his buy out in the loan deal, why would à club desperate to get rid of a player put in a sell on clause? You think Nottingham Forest want one for JC or do they just want shot.

[Wheat Hound]

EEN reporting this morning Grasshopper have a 30% sell on clause and that Basel intend watching Flo again today.

Maybe Huddersfield will come in for him after sacking their manager last night.

Seems to get linked with most Yorkshire clubs.

If Hecky reads these forums I wouldn’t blame him for going.

I still think he”ll show his worth in the long run IF he gets backed by the board

He has been far and away our best striker this season and mystifying he didn't start last week. If Oli is heading out it would mean we need to bring real quality in not squad players but starters.

[Stuart93]

Really don’t think they do

Why would they arrange a 100k buyout deal with us when he came on loan then we agree to 30% sell on?

Doesn’t sound right

[JimBHibees]

Is Flo and Doidge not similar, if were playing 1up top then maybe we're looking at a different type of forward, more like an all round attacker which is the modern type.

We need someone like mcnulty a good striker with movement. The gap he is leaving up top is enormous at the moment.

[JimBHibees]

Because they wanted rid but knew he had talent and could make them money in the future.

[Jim44]

I take it Kamberi is up for a move. Or is it a case of every player having a price and whether they like it or not, pack yer case, son, you’re offski.

[J-C]

Really don’t think they do

Why would they arrange a 100k buyout deal with us when he came on loan then we agree to 30% sell on?

Its usually reported at the time of signing on as with Rocky and McGinn, it was common knowledge when they came but there was nothing reported about Flo except his buy out clause.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

Watching that Conor Washington for Hearts last night reminded me of McNulty. Currently missing someone buzzing about like that.

[Col2]

It’s good money for the us and the player IF it happens.

It’s a step up and he would get guaranteed European football each year and much higher wages.

If he does go and it allows us to buy two strikers we wants and a defensive
midfielder then in the long run might not be bad news.

I fear that it would only allow us to get another lower league player and in the end make us even weaker.

I would rather sell rocky for same amount and goalkeeper seem easier to replace (esp given we already have a strong number 2).

[Col2]

100%. McNulty, Cummings etc type player.

Does it really matter?

[Torto7]

First of all we shouldn't need to sell to be able to complete the squad, so that's pathetic for a start. Secondly 2 mill with 30% going to Grasshoppers is woeful imo. If he stays and has a productive season then he's worth a lot more. He's also one of our most exciting players.

Not necessarily but it probably makes it worthy of discussion.

If we get 2m for Flo and bring in Cummings and O'hara, that's sound business.

[Torto7]

If we get 2m for Flo and bring in Cummings and O'hara, that's sound business.

Is it? Basel should just sign Cummings then.

[1875Sean]

Can’t sell Flo this late on in the Transfer window, be absolute madness.

Theres still over 2 weeks left

Not necessarily but it probably makes it worthy of discussion.Of course but as per it becomes fact on here, like most **** that comes from the press

[coldingham hibs]

Can’t believe anyone would offer £2m for Flo, based on his form over the past season we may get £200K. Flo is not a great player.

What a load of crap. Doesn't the fact Basel are interested give you a clue? 200k :faf:

[147lothian]

If we sell, we could still get a decent striker and DM from the Championship on loan, that would make the team more balanced, im sure behind the scenes there's targets in mind, most importantly they would come in with something to prove, a moody player can upset the whole dressing room, it is of course all hypothetical at the moment but as long as the funds get made available for players on the park it could be the making of the team for this season, all eyes on today's team sheet.

[Souter96Mac]

Would be sad to see Flo leave. We would need to use the money to bring in a real quality striker.
I'm a fan of JC, loved him when he was here, but he isn't that answer. He wouldn't be able to fill that void alone. Would love to see us push the boat out on a marquee signing.

Would you trust Hecky to sign more players? I certainly wouldn’t. Couldn’t even trust him to buy a good 10p mix

[stantonsboots]

[JimBHibees]

Definitely would. Like the look of James Jackson and Vela and hopefully Doidge and Newell pick up in time which I think they will.

Flo is far superior to Doidge based on what I’ve seen so far. Work-rate, finishing ability, technically, hold up and bring others in to play. Typically at Ibrox Doidge tracked his runner then just stopped, allowing him to cross for Defoe’s third goal. I don’t think Kamberi lets that happen.

If we sell Kamberi this window it will be a ****ing disaster. Look at the way he and Allan linked up in their coinciding spells at Hibs, they formed a magnificent partnership.

[neil7908]

What a load of crap. Doesn't the fact Basel are interested give you a clue? 200k :faf:

This. The rumour is likely to be nonsense but if Basel are interested fans should surely question why.

How many times have we sold player's for the millions and replaced them with the someone better?

The fact that fans are desperate to get Cummings back is pretty telling. And we've been dying to see McGeough back as well.

[stantonsboots]

[QUOTE=JimBHibees;5891496]Definitely would. Like the look of James Jackson and Vela and hopefully Doidge and Newell pick up in time which I think they will.[/QUOTEJJackson looks like he's an upgrade on Hanlon And Mcgregor too!

I agree Flo is the better player, just wondering if they're looking at a more all round attacking player, also remember ther was a few rumours earlier that Flo was wanting away, maybe just waiting for the right offer, Heckingbottom did say if circumstances change.

[The 90+2]

Please Hibs don’t sell Kamberi and replace him with someone of the standard of signings so far ffs.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Intrigued how it would go doen on here If Hibs sold Kamberi and used the cash to bring in the like of Moult?

[Percy Vere]

Would you trust Hecky to sign more players? I certainly wouldn’t. Couldn’t even trust him to buy a good 10p mix

Utter nonsense. You don’t know how Heck’s signings are going to pan out.
Clearly you know how good players are after 180 mins. God help us.
I’m happy to support the team and our new signings, encourage them and we will see if they are good signings or not. But you already know....amazing.

Even if they wanted rid he was still an asset with a value. By selling at lower initial fee with a sell on % they may have expedited his departure from the club but with the expectation of realising the true value of the asset at a later date.

Moult started last week for Preston so it’s not like he is out of the picture there

[The 90+2]

Moult is playing for Preston right now so wouldn’t be him.

Sell Flo’ and bring in someone not in the plans of a Championship side, probably not done a pre-season, low on confidence and hope to **** it comes good? It’s far too much of a risk considering the standard of signing so far and the way the squad looks.

[The 90+2]

What 180 mins? We’ve played 6 competitive games so far this season.

[CapitalGreen]

Does it really matter?

It’ll matter if we receive £2m because folk will starting moaning about the club not going out and spending £2m on replacements. I’ve no idea if there is a sell-on clause or not but I don’t see any value in people speaking with authority on it when they clearly have no idea either, it’ll only become another stick to beat the club with.

[04Sauzee]

Intrigued how it would go doen on here If Hibs sold Kamberi and used the cash to bring in the like of Moult?

Probably be delighted.
Since moult played and scored for PNE last weekend would suggest it's not even an option

[we are hibs]

Intrigued how it would go doen on here If Hibs sold Kamberi and used the cash to bring in the like of Moult?

They wont use the cash to do that. Thats the problem. It will be ringfenced to help build this indoor pitch.

We would be extremely lucky to spend £500k of it on a replacement never mind £2m. Absolutely nobody would expect the club to spend £2m as it’s simply never happened previously.

[Unseen work]

If we do sell Flo we need to replaced him with undoubted quality.

Someone who will come in and hit the ground running

Liam Boyce?

Won four. Lost one. Drawn one.

Good record so far. Hopefully we build on that today.

They don't count apparently. Unless you thought the new signings were good in the Betfred Cup games, in which case it's acceptable to form an opinion on new players. Fwiw I wouldn't trust Heckingbottom to adequately replace Kamberi even if he was given all the fee to do so and lets face it that wouldn't happen anyway.

[04Sauzee]

What 180 mins? We’ve played 6 competitive games so far this season.

It's obvious he's talking about the league campaign. It's been done to death that the earlier rounds of the cup campaign was about getting players game time whilst trying to win games. Objective achieved

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Probably be delighted.

Fair enough.

I don’t think it’s out of the realms of reality we could spend £500k on a striker in a similar market and ringfence £1.5m for the indoor pitch at East Mains. Like you say that it probably wont happen as this rumour probably re Kamberi probably won’t come to fruition anyway.

On another point, it took Moult a few weeks to get in the goals at Motherwell, before going on a good run. Not out if the question that Doidge could do the same.

[04Sauzee]

Not **** Sherlock. Done to death by people excusing the games or not they were anything but pointless.

I didn't say they were pointless. I said objective achieved. Try not being so angry for a while

[MagicSwirlingShip]

We could buy Cummings back outright for £500k too btw

[hibbie02]

Would you trust Hecky to sign more players? I certainly wouldn’t. Couldn’t even trust him to buy a good 10p mix

Nope. God knows what sort of gem he would magic up from the lower reaches of the Vanarama National League. I am afraid my mind is already made up on Hecky.

If love a Moult or a Moult type, Is Hornby still at Everton

His mate seems to reckon it would be a free transfer.

Last I seen on here was that Everton were considering loan offers from Scotland and other English clubs from the lower leagues.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

I’d rather have Cummings than Kamberi 🤔

[Unseen work]

If we replaced Kamberi with Hornby I’d be absolutley fizzing.

Hes never played a first team game.

[The 90+2]

Won four. Lost one. Drawn one.

Good record so far. Hopefully we build on that today.

So the new players have impressed in the games then?

Hopefully we start to see what the new players are capable of starting today (if they play as they aren’t good enough yet to get in the full strength team) and a positive result.

[flash]

Not **** Sherlock. Done to death by people excusing the games or not they were anything but pointless.

Luckily we have you on every thread to tell us how crap we are at every opportunity.

I’m not, it’s game day and the sun is shining. It still doesn’t detract my belief we would replace Kamberi with another poor signing mind you.

👏👏 suddenly now being reported doesn't change the fact it was reported when he initially signed, now give it a ****ing rest,your like a dog with a bone.

[Nicho87]

Reality is we sell nobody and sign nobody.

[flash]

Reality is we sell nobody and sign nobody.

Crystal ball?

I wasnt suggesting he's de a direct replacement, I'd like to see Hornby at Hibs but not as a one in and one out with Kamberi leaving

[The 90+2]

Reality is we sell nobody and sign nobody.

I don’t think the club would do that.

[The 90+2]

Why would Basel want Kamberi for treble we bought him for (or more) when he wasn’t getting a game for a poorer side than them also?

[Heisenberg]

So the new players have impressed in the games then?

Hopefully we start to see what the new players are capable of starting today (if they play as they aren’t good enough yet to get in the full strength team) and a positive result.

In spells all the players have impressed. Just as they’ve played poorly in others.

That made me chuckle.

The poor scout probably knew it was a wasted trip in less time than it takes to say "cheap Toblerone at Glasgow airport".

[Brooster]

Sell sell sell.

[J-C]

Who would you want us to look at as a replacement? Just curious, not having a go!

I have no clue TBH, never thought about as I wasn't expecting him to go, maybe an inside forward type with a bit of pace who can play anywhere across the front.

[AlbertK86]

I wasnt suggesting he's de a direct replacement, I'd like to see Hornby at Hibs but not as a one in and one out with Kamberi leaving

I’d take Hornby in for sure if it lets Shaw go on loan but would want some proven experienced goal scorer to replace Flo

There is no way Hibs are getting 2 million for Kamberi.

[Torto7]

Why would Basel want Kamberi for treble we bought him for (or more) when he wasn’t getting a game for a poorer side than them also?

Because he's potentially a really good player in the right system and they have scouts who are smart enough to realise this.

[Torto7]

There is no way Hibs are getting 2 million for Kamberi.

No it should be much more. Afterall we were quoted 5.5 million for MM and Omeonga. Will Scottish clubs ever learn when it comes to transfer fees and undervaluing our players. 2m is the new 500k anyway.

Yet they scouts couldn’t see this when he was playing for an actual Swiss club and available for peanuts?

I agree about him potentially being a really good player by the way, just strange they want him now when he would have been under their noses for years in Switzerland.

Ron made it clear the indoor pitch is a priority any Kamberi income would go to that along with the fans ponying up, doubt any will go to the playing budget.

He's older now and has developed believe it or not. He also tended to play on the left wing for Grasshoppers.

So, we would add to the squad if Shaw goes..but we wouldn’t if we get decent money in for Flo ?

Can't wait to see how this indoor pitch will improve the play of our inevitably threadbare playing squad next summer. 9th in the Premiership but kickin' ass in the indoor summer league!

Maybe get a loan or lower league replacement. Just basing this on what Ron said when he took over.

Would you trust Hecky to sign more players? I certainly wouldn’t. Couldn’t even trust him to buy a good 10p mixOr we could just right everybody off after one bad league result like u clearly have

I’m only repeating what was said in the takeover interviews and Hecky’s more recent interviews about him being done which implies the budget is spent.

FWIW I don’t think we will sell Kamberi.

There was a comment during the takeover that any major sales would be used to improve infrastructure.

[Borderhibbie76]

So the new players have impressed in the games then?

Hopefully we start to see what the new players are capable of starting today (if they play as they aren’t good enough yet to get in the full strength team) and a positive result.Do u ever tire of dripping negativity all over every single thread...its mind numbing honestly.

If things continue like that over the next 4 or 5 matches then fair enough but let's just see what happens.

But I am far from a happy Clapper at present and concerned about the lack of depth on our squad absolutely.

Hibs should absolutely aim to be an elite academy. This indoor pitch thing seems extremely unfair though. Hamilton, Motherwell and the gunts all seem to benefit from council funded arenas whilst we have to fork out millions.

Replacing Kamberi is easy

Replacing McGinn almost impossible

In your opinion...others recognise his contribution when fit

Yet has ended up in League 2. Surely one of the other 32 managers in the leagues above could see his contribution and sign him up?

[Barman Stanton]

Looking like bottom six fodder and actually finishing bottom six are far different things. The only sides who look like finishing top six at this stage are the obvious two, hearts and Aberdeen.

Hearts who got beat by Aberdeen and drew with Ross County at home? Aberdeen who got beat by St Mirren?

[The_Horde]

Definitely said get hecky out the club and also bottom 6 apart from that you are right.

Aside from joking, the one thing I've said about Hecky is if we went out yesterday he had to go.

As for the bottom six thing I never said we would finish bottom six. I said we look like bottom six fodder.

But if there's 8 teams in the league who look like bottom six fodder, only 6 of them actually can be in the end as we proved last season.

now has a long term injury to manage with...has been covered a number of times ..

[oldbutdim]

Just as well I've said none of those things then eh?

You will.

[MWHIBBIES]

See they're taking their return to being bottom six fodder well..by signing players who have only ever finished top 6?


Fair enough [emoji106]

McLaren scores 8 in half a season.

Murray scores 17 in his first season cups included ...

Tbh. My main point is Kamberi is very replaceable ...

He isn't very replaceable at all. Maclaren scored one in half a season last year, Murray struggled against better sides consistently although I'd take him back now. Kamberi much better than both.

Karamoko Dembele has a league winners medal.

Kamberi of yesterday is hard to replace..was excellent.

the other Kamberi, who we saw almost all last season - very easy to replace..

tbf - he has been working harder this season - attitude seems better

So a League 2 club can nurse him back to fitness but no other club higher?

Time will tell where he ends up once fully fit again but I’d be very surprised if it was at a club anywhere near our level. If you are talking about Fyvie playing at the level he did when he was here then he would 100% improve us at the moment however that’s not going to be the case imo

How do you work that out? Hearts beaten by Aberdeen, Aberdeen beaten by Killie, Killie beaten by Hamilton Accies. Nobody looks like anything at this point in time because we’re two games into the season ffs

No. He may struggle to get back to playing the level he used to ..because he will continue having to deal with his injury - that’s why he isn’t still at Dundee Utd

Attitude wasn't really the issue, being bullied in the workplace by Lennon was. Flo needs a hug and told how brilliant he is. Not blamed for everything.

there was certainly some poor management...but you can’t say that is what fully caused his poor levels of work and performance last season ...He is a moody player ..we will see it again this season if he stays...but if we get that level of application and work rate in most games , he will be a good player for us ..

[Crab apple]

Is the Basle interest in Flo serious and if so any ideas who we have lined up to replace him? Flo's the best striker we've got and without him we'd be left with Doidge and Oli (if he's not off too). I'm not sure we could replace him with better. I like him and I hope he stays.

Basel striker has recently discovered a brain tumor and is out for 12 months so they probably are looking for a forward.

Jamie walker out with a broken leg

Lot of pressure on this young City midfielder to perform then. First taste of British football and it’s going to be under the management of Levein 😂

[badabing67]

big fan of an on form Kamberi but its been a long time since he's been at his best.

£2m for an out of sorts Flo is a great bit of business, regardless of the timing.

Maybe if we put a team behind him that could play to his strengths he wouldn't be out of sorts. Personally I think he is getting back to his best and I think he is worth more than £2M. Flo only has 1 more yr on his contract after this season. I think now would be a good time to offer an improved contract. I believe if he leaves now we won't benefit from his full potential as a player or what we could attract from a transfer fee a bit further along the road. So I hope he stays

Flo’s decision making has been much better this year as well, instead of taking the ball in with back to goal and trying to turn every time he has been trying a lot of flicks and dummies and also playing the ball back to oncoming midfielders then spinning off... these little adjustments to his game have made a huge difference, and the crowd have less to moan at die to this.

Flo is definitely a player who takes the crowds criticism to heart and it affects his game and his confidence. A confident Flo is a game winning Flo and as much as I would love a cash injection like £2M I’m not sure we would replace him well enough right now.

I can't help but look at other teams midfield and they all seem to have strength and depth on and off the bench. But with our midfield it just doesn't look good enough bar Allan and Horgan. We've let Milligan. Omeonga, Bartley go.... He still needs to relook at the midfield!and forward areas.

I agree, the loss of physicality in midfield is worrying, its putting defence under pressure as teams get free rein to run at the back four. Have seen no evidence that vela, slivka or mallon can win the ball in midfield.
