Summer 2019 transfer thread

[JimBHibees]

I wouldn’t be surprised that he hardly played any of his signings as a GIRFUY to the fans to say ... see that’s what I’ve got if I don’t play my new boys.

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a midfield three of Vela, Hallberg and Newell on Saturday

Would play Vela Hallberg and Allan with Slivka wide right and Middleton wide left.

[Gaffer1875]

Graham Doran’s released from
Rangers, Killie interested

Agree. Especially if Hallberg
Is more of a sitting midfielder.

Just seen Kirk Broadfoot with what looked like his agent at Waverley station, released by Killie, cover in defence? Can play full back as well.

I'd say he could do a job in the pie stand, but he's too thick to use a microwave without getting 2nd degree burns.

Slivka wide right!! What a damning indictment of our squad when that’s seen as the lesser of the evils.

It's just poor team selection, Horgan should be wide right every time.

60% of the time it works all the time.

[The Modfather]

It's just poor team selection, Horgan should be wide right every time.

Horgan is the obvious choice to play wide right out of him and Slivka, but even then I’m not bothered if Horgan plays or not. It’s the non existent alternatives to Horgan that the debate highlights that is utterly depressing.

[jacomo]

It'll be the Europa League money. This is why it baffles me when people want the Uglies to win in Europe.

All it does is significantly increase their budget.


I think there’s some double counting going on because Sevco have already budgeted on Europa League cash just to keep afloat.

Weird... they are skint but act as if they are loaded.

Won’t be signing anymore midfielders now

[DavidDavidGray]

If we don’t sign a defensive minded midfielder/energetic midfielder with some degree of talent then we are completely done for this season. This midfield, Allan aside, is relegation level.

[RoxburghHibs]

Won’t be signing anymore midfielders now

What makes you say that?

...... no more good money after bad. Keep our money for PH’s severance pay and try to give the new guy something to play with.

[bingo70]

I know we’re going way off topic here as we’re not signing him but I always felt Broadfoot was one of those players that was annoyingly effective.

Looked and ran like an absolute donkey, but rarely had really bad games.

Still don’t want us to sign him right enough but if we did I doubt their winger would have had such an easy ride of it on Saturday.

[hibeerealist]

Announce Bartley. #sorryMarvwewerewrong

Lol, agreed.

[JimBHibees]

Slivka wide right!! What a damning indictment of our squad when that’s seen as the lesser of the evils.

More an indictment of the lack of midfield defence in that he is probably better defensively to protect our full back than Horgan is.

[flash]

Wanyama?

Christian Eriksen.

He started his career at Hibs. Played in the same team as Broony. I thought he was a very good prospect at St Mirren.

It's just poor team selection, Horgan should be wide right every time.

Nice if he turned a performance in as he is so up and down it is unreal.

yes

player can leave just not arrive, think the championship might be the same down there, but not 100% sure.
league 1 and 2 can defo still sign players as well.

[K-Zazu]

The fact that we are scrambling about on the last day hoping for a player/players to save us already shows how badly we’ve recruited in this window.

[hibsmad]

We don't. We need bodies out.

We can't control that just now. There are two things we can control.

Replacing the manager and signing more players.

If funds are stretched then I'd rather we used what we have to replace the manager.

[ancient hibee]

He's been a big part of Killie's success in recent years.

I didn't used to rate him (he was able to get away with being less than brilliant at Rangers) but I do now.

Folk look down on players who aren't brilliant with the ball at their feet, but there's something I like about defenders who can defend.

As you say - not exactly easy on the eye, but effective.

[ancient hibee]

What makes you think there’s any scrambling going on?

[TheHibernator]

Ideally would like another striker, a defensive mid and a right back, not going to get my hopes up though.
Eager to see what Hallberg is like, if he can play that defensive role it could sort out our midfield problems though from what I've read he sounds more like a box to box midfielder similar to what we already have.

[The_Horde]

What makes you think there’s any scrambling going on?

This. We're done until we get someone out.

[MacGruber]

Christian Eriksen.

Would take Eriksen but we have enough attacking midfield types. We need Wanyama

[Smartie]

What makes you think there’s any scrambling going on?

I think we desperately need another midfielder, one who can defend, and we could with something else up front (especially if we're going to go with two up front at times).

Our defence is only the way it is because of the midfield and because of injuries.

I know it's all about opinions but I would be extremely concerned if anyone at Hibs thought differently (regarding the midfield - the rest I can accept differing opinions).

[GreenCastle]

The fact that we are scrambling about on the last day hoping for a player/players to save us already shows how badly we’ve recruited in this window.

We need a new manager to make us any good.

About 4 players minimum to actually give us a chance of sorting out the mess we have found ourself in.

In reality we will get a replacement for Shaw and continue to leak goals / slate the defence / hang our midfield out to dry and send long balls to Kamberi to try score off alongside Hibs.net will continue to be very depressing.

[HoboHarry]

What makes you think there’s any scrambling going on?

Don't think scrambling was the problem, it was a boiled egg that put Broadfoot on his erse wasn't it?

It's a shocker. Clear we need 2 or 3 players in key positions to have any chance of competing for top 4/6. If they don't fill these gaps, got to ask why. Paying too much for the English duds ? Don't trust Hecky with the money any more ? Have plans to sack Hecky and want to hold back some cash for the new man ?

Whatever the case, unless the problems are addressed, STH will feel cheated.

Cummings has been rank since he left us, the only good spell he had was in the 1st division in scotland, the fact he is now playing for Shrewsbury says it all

[GreenCastle]

Didn't want Cummings or Lafferty at Hearts so glad both haven't ended up there. Fair play to Cummings staying down south and giving it a shot but would expect it's more about security and the £££. He know's he will be able to come back to Scotland one day and find a team who will pay him.

Would have taken Cummings as we need some characters / fans favourites in the team plus he will score goals especially against Hearts. But like Flo don't think he's suited for 1 up front.

Shaw actually did well at the weekend and oddly with the rest of the team under performing it's made him look better.

Totally depressing and begs what has happened to the budget. I know we have all the early signings but we lost a host players and with ST sales and Ron’s investment I would have hoped there would be some more left.

Can’t help but feel that the Lennon debacle has cost the club a fortune and impacts on budget this season.

Nonsense. You don't know what you're talking about man.
It is 60 absolute max. And that is 60 mins of mostly jogging back, the odd burst of speed forwards, (but sometimes round in circles), often ending up tripping over his own blurry feet, or with a pass to the opposition, then the odd moment of brilliance which more and more I am thinking is accidental.

[B.H.F.C]

Mate I’m the exact same, Heckingbottom more than any other manager seems to want to take a while to get players upto speed etc so a free agent will be next to no use.

Does the manager really think the midfield is just fine? Hallberg must be ****ing good (whenever he's fit, of course).

Adding another RB now would be strange. We'd have 4 right backs in the squad with only 3 proper strikers.

As poor as Whittaker has been against players with pace, James is back soon and we'd have to be incredibly unlucky to get another injury in that position.

I'd say defensive midfield and outwide should be higher priorities.

[Unseen work]

True. Even he doesn’t rate them evidently. It’s ****ing brutal.

Its very concerning.

I also find it odd we have signed a centre mid in Hallberg which seemed to raise the morale a bit but he’s not featured in the 2 games since he joined.

St Johnston I get, but surely Motherwell when we’re 1-0 down and easy to play through like he said you would chuck him on to try and show what he can do

[neil7908]

Kent to Sevco for £7m. Ridiculous that they are spending that kind of money

[CMurdoch]

True. Even he doesn’t rate them evidently. It’s ****ing brutal.

I cannot believe how short this squad still is. Heads should roll.

Not a single midfielder who can break up play and cover the forward players.
1 striker we can rely on to produce regularly.
1 midfielder we can rely on to find a pass.
A ageing defence thats all at sea most games.


But its okay, we will sign another mavrias, eckersley, eardly, nelom to cover in defence on a free and take a wage for doing absolutely nothing for 6 months. 3 transfer windows in a row and zero learned.

[Allant1981]

He never picked Mallan at Barnsley neither but now hes undroppable apparently

Sent from my SM-G950F using Tapatalk

Again,lennon picked him most weeks so it's not something new, he obviously is doing more in training than the others to justify his place(just doesnt show it in games at the moment)

[CMurdoch]

Non disclosed fee! Rumour was we sold him at a knock down price, with a large sell on fee.
Can’t see much coming Hibs way with this one

You generally only get a sell on fee if the guy does well and is sold for more than he was signed for e.g you get 20% of any profit.

Forest lost their shirt on Cummings. They have effectively binned him.
Zero coming our way other than contempt.

On the bright side Cummings will be back in Scotland next summer unless he gets his **** together.

No, no. Leeann says we’ve had a strong window. And with one of the best young strikers in Europe already on the books I don’t know what all the panic is about.

[SteveHFC]

Going to be a long season once again.

[DetroitHibs]

Its very concerning.

I also find it odd we have signed a centre mid in Hallberg which seemed to raise the morale a bit but he’s not featured in the 2 games since he joined.

St Johnston I get, but surely Motherwell when we’re 1-0 down and easy to play through like he said you would chuck him on to try and show what he can do

I’ll take a shot in the dark and say that Hallberg was signed by the recruitment team and not one of Heckingbottom’s signings, hence no game time and on the bench.

Would have been an option before Middleton arrived.

You could be correct, id imagine the no game time being due to the fact he only joined last Friday and hasn’t had a pre season though

[BoomtownHibees]

O’Hara signed for Motherwell

[CMurdoch]

Whilst we are feeling sorry for ourselves consider this

The successful Kilmarnock team is almost totally disbanded already:

Goalkeeper - left after loan concluded
Taylor - going to Celtic
Broadfoot - going to St Mirren
Mulumbu - left after loan concluded
Stewart - Rangers
Jones - Rangers
Boyd - Retired
African Midfielder - left after loan concluded
McAleer - forward, left after loan concluded

Even the pivotal manager Clarke is away

There are more that I can't remember

That leaves them with,
O'Donnell - full back (probably looking to jump ship)
Dicker - 33, so running out of time and legs
Burke - 35, so running out of time and legs
Power - getting on so again running out of time and legs

Clarke's big speech at the end of last season and now their fans see they are already back with the duffers.

To be 4 games into the season and pretty much all the new signings cannot earn a place in the first team, honestly it’s a joke. We had a starting 11 that needed strengthening and we’re playing pretty much the same team but actually weakened without Milligan and Bartley.

Only one I think will come good is James. Rest are same or worse than we had and guaranteed none of them will have the affection Bartley had for Hibs. I understand we need to move forward but how about we actually see if we have some stable footing before doing so...

People talk about Gray and McGregor being leaders and they are in their own ways. I really wish Hibs had a leader like Brown though, a bit of a nutter that demands more of his teammates. Too much is just “nice” about Hibs.

Club are on a bad path at the moment.

Why do we even call it “Head Coach” tbh, we aren’t even implementing it properly. Flip it back to Manager or actually commit to it (employ a Head Coach who knows recruitment will be based on lists the recruitment team come back with).

Absolutely spot on. LD, Craig, Mathie and their recruitment team have had a shocker. Not to mention Hecky who has also been a disaster.

We are so short in key areas but are going for a fourth right back because the ones we have are injured or badly out of form and pace.

I remember last season at this time, we had a few very loud posters venting their view on how unbalanced this side was, and how we were not getting our players in early enough.

Yet that team won a few rounds in Europe, were sitting in the top 4 after the first round of games.

And now this season, we have an absolute pile of tripe signed early, a team unbalanced and are playing some of the worst football in years, yet not a peep from them.

I wonder why?

We’re striving to be the best of the rest and have a solid youth department though...

Why don’t we just play a youngster there and admit to fans that we’ve cocked this up. Whittaker’s deal is bizarre, and beyond sentiment, so is Gray and McGregor.
We’re too nice as a club. I think club think we’ll be happy with 2 legends being coaches while we’re being battered on the field.

Don't you just wish Ron G had come in and sacked everyone......given us a real fresh start after years of petrie appointments and meddling!

He could have and would have generated so much more hype around us and with a few left field south american appointments in addition to some Hibs people, coulda created a renewed feel good factor around the club.

I am sure that would have generated a large number of extra season ticket holders and financial benefits.

Cause it is a waste of time, the club never listen, we say the same things every year, there is always holes in our squad and what seems like a desire to penny pinch......most of the fans can see the huge failings but the guys in charge never seem to see it.

Last year i remember going through our team comparing it to hearts, and even though we was a weak side we was looking stronger all over the park..........i do the same this year and it is them who look strongest.........pretty depressing.

Getting players in early should allow you to shape your team, get players used to each other etc. The way Heckingbottom approached the league cup games, making 5 or 6 changes in every game was a joke. No continuity in the team whatsoever and that’s just carried on in to the league season. Doesn’t help that the players signed look pish, but a bit of organisation and a plan would surely make them look less pish.

[Unseen work]

Ohara is a very good signing for Motherwell imo and adds to their high energy game.

Jason Naismith is a good player and one id be happy with. He seems too good to come in as 1 of 4 fullbacks if that makes sense?

If we got him and never bothered with James it would make sense but both?

[bigswissstriker]

Sign a right back and send a left back out loan. Classic hecky manoeuvre. Don’t know what’s going on at ER just now but needs changed asap

They won’t but timing of signings doesn’t assure quality. We could’ve easily signed garbage players near the end of the window. This is the fastest I’ve seen us do business and yet we’ve been fixing every summer window in January because we’ve signed players like Matulevicius. This is exactly why club need to assess recruitment policy and recruitment team. We cannot keep having a shambolic summer window followed by scrambling to fix it in January. We must be so wasteful with cash. Motherwell have signed better players than us...

[B.H.F.C]

Only if they are good enough, and clearly this chump has a record the length of your arm of signing duds.

Aye, but with his apparent eye for a player they’d be pish whether we signed them in June, July or August. But you’d think, with having them
In early it would give you the opportunity to mould them in to some kind of team. There has been plenty examples of teams in this league punching above their weight with a bunch of bang average players. His whole idea (or lack of idea) about how to shape them in to a team is just as bad as him thinking they are any good in the first place.

[BoomtownHibees]

Jason Naismith, a RB, coming in with Mackie going to Dundee. Similar to signing Middleton as Boyles replacement when they play on diff sides as well

I agree, it makes no difference when you sign players especially if you sign the wrong ones, and leave the squad lacking in certain areas.

Sign good players whenever you can, you wont go wrong when you do that, of course you need a management team who can spot the good ones and the ones who will fit into our system, whatever that currently is?

Having 4 natural right backs and 1 left back does not make any sense, let alone perfect sense. The squad will be even more unbalanced than what it is already. James and Whittaker can play left back, you’re right, however their natural position is on the right and that’s where they should play

Lewis is still very rarely injured. Whittaker is perfectly comfortable with both feet, always has been.

Whittikar overall has been good on the ball when carrying it forward, showing real composure and quality on it.

Where he struggles is when he is flat footed, either on the Ball or when someone is running at him, it seems to take him a while to get off the mark or change direction.

He has cost us a couple of goals but hasn’t been our worst player so far - like has already been said it’s hardly saying much
