Winter 2019-20 transfer thread

[SHODAN]

Are people thinking we’d get more than a £1m for Boyle? I’d rip their hands off tbh.

I'd take less if they offered Griffiths permanently, as well as paying some of his wages initially.

I'd take a straight swap, Griffiths for Boyle.

Maxwell is apparently away to Blackpool.

[lord bunberry]

The reason I think we’d cash in if we get a chance is that I don’t think he’ll be in any rush to sign a new deal. He’s 27 in a couple of months so if he has any hopes of getting a move at any point, it’ll probably have to happen relatively soon for him.

Agree on everything else from a football perspective and I don’t think he’ll go this month because I don’t think anybody will offer a seven figure sum for him.
If he doesn’t want to sign a new deal we still shouldn’t sell him now, let him go in the summer.

[Barman Stanton]

Without a doubt. I think we would get the best out of Griffiths. Without any off field issues we wouldnt have a chance of signing a striker of his quality (we might not have a chance of course).

[MyJo]

We aren't going to turn down £1m for Boyle.........if we ever got offered that is another question.

[Barman Stanton]

Underwhelming.

Dont see why. It probably means Maxwell is off, giving us a further wage to play with.

[lord bunberry]

Surely his wage will be going to Bogdan.

[Pretty Boy]

A million plus a decent length loan deal for Griffiths would probably be a decent bit of business for Boyle.

People have to be realistic about what Scottish players command in transfer fees. No one is paying £3M+ for Boyle.

[brydekirk]

[supermcginn]

Celtic enquired about Boyle last week, if Morgan goes to America Boyle will be away I reckon.

[Barman Stanton]

Surely his wage will be going to Bogdan.

I assumed we were already paying Bogdan. Was he here for free?

[bingo70]

I don’t understand why £1m would be a good deal for Boyle? We couldn’t replace him for that.

[JohnMcM]

I can't imagine the club would let MB go without a like-for-like replacement, especially if JR said he needs him to improve our chances of 3/4 this season.

[J-C]

I assumed we were already paying Bogdan. Was he here for free?

His short deal ran out Jan 1st, been here for free since.

[Since452]

What did people do before football forums and Twitter during the transfer window? I'm picturing people wringing their hands and rocking on their office chairs covered in sweat waiting for finishing time so they could bolt to the nearest shop for a copy of the evening news. Was there as much hysteria back then when we hadn't signed someone 16 days in? How did people vent their anger?

[ancient hibee]

Griffiths is a huge risk.

[B.H.F.C]

I don’t understand why £1m would be a good deal for Boyle? We couldn’t replace him for that.

Just like we couldn’t replace McGinn with the money we got for him.

Players are worth what folk want to pay for them and nobody would pay significantly more than a million for Boyle IMO. He won’t have any resale value for a start.

[Steven79]

Griffiths is a huge risk.I don't understand why others can't see that.

Boyle in a straight swap for him would be madness but yet others are suggesting it.

Used to wait patiently for the Evening News every day to see if we had signed any one :agree:

Gullan?

I don't know much about him beyond him looking good on the occasions I saw him for the development side. We've recalled him and he's, in my opinion, more suited to drifting wide than as an out and out striker.

I'm speculating obviously and any transfer in or out carries risk but we picked up and developed Boyle for sweeties and I'm sure it's possible again.

[Unseen work]

Boyle for Kouassi - Celtic

Marc McNulty - Sunderland cancel loan

Mulumbu - Free agent
Or
Gary Dicker - Available on pre contract

McGeady - Leaving Sunderland

Ambrose - Free agent

Lewis Smith - Hamilton

Easy as that.

Sent from my SM-G960F using Tapatalk

I really don't see it as madness at all. Quite the opposite. Yes he has had issues. But playing at a place where he is idolized, close to family and friends. It could be mutually advantageous.

Guy is only 29. Its not like he is finished.

[Peevemor]

Just like we couldn’t replace McGinn with the money we got for him.

Not specifically McGinn, but it should be possible to sell a player and replace him for someone of a similar standard for the same fee.

The problem clubs like us have is matching the wages offered by the OF and English clubs.

[Tyler Durden]

Just like we couldn’t replace McGinn with the money we got for him.

Players are worth what folk want to pay for them and nobody would pay significantly more than a million for Boyle IMO. He won’t have any resale value for a start.

That’s all fine but it doesn’t mean we should accept £1m for him. If that entirely hypothetical offer was made, we’d get more value in keeping Boyle til his contract expires.

[JohnMcM]

Griffiths is a huge risk.

He would be a risk, I agree.

Seems to me some folks are perhaps overlooking his faults, lack of current game time which increases his risk of injury if thrown straight in for us, also, it's possible 'nostalgia' is influencing people's thoughts.

Don't get me wrong, It was great to have him here, it would be great to have him back if he was match fit and trouble free. It's an expensive risk not worth taking for me.

There is risk with absolutely every player we buy. At least with this one we know there is proven quality there. 100% worth the risk for me.

[The 90+2]

If we got offered a million quid for Boyle, I think we’d take it.

It’s certainly a very good bargaining tool for Boyle to use in new contract discussions.

What a load a rubbish!

Kouassi looks average at best.
McNulty is about possible.
Mulumbu is 32 & hasnt played any football for 9 months.
Gary Dicker is 34 in the summer.
McGeady is 34 in april & was on £40k a week a few years ago.
Ambrose is 31 & hasnt played any football in 1 year.
Never heard of Lewis Smith, but i doubt we could afford his fee. Hamilton very savvy with their youth players contracts.

People slate our recruitment team when we have fans sitting saying stuff like this.

[stantonsboots]

Shaping up to be a decent outfit next seasonNaw there no! they cold have a team full of Ronaldo's and messi's but with hatchet man Mcinnes in charge they'll do the same as they do every year hoof the ball and chop opponents down:greengrin

Chill out, it was clearly said in jest getting all/any of them in.

I don’t get your gripe with ages though, each individual player is different and Dicker still dominates most weeks. Efe and Mulumbu are class acts and whilst not been playing would get upto speed quick.

Smith and Kouassi are both young and would improve us.

Mcgeady is clearly on a ridiculous wage however seems to be getting his name chucked about on here a lot. He won’t be getting that wage much longer and will leave Sunderland.

[B.H.F.C]

[Pretty Boy]

There's no guarantee of that. He could sustain a serious injury on Sunday, have a horrendous loss of form, become unsettled and become difficult to manage and 101 other variables.

It's not a black and white situation where any of us can say what we should or shouldn't accept. If a bid has been/is made then everyone involved in the situation will discuss it and Hibs will decide from there. If everyone is on the same page and it is felt the bid should be rejected then that is what will happen. If Boyle makes it clear he wants to hear what Celtic have to say, Ross and Mathie believe the money is better than the player, the finances dictate we need to sell etc etc then that is what will happen.

[The Harp]

Wouldn't want to lose Martin Boyle. He's really hitting form and will be a great asset to us going forward.
Have fond memories of Leigh being at the club, but if it came to choosing between them now, I'd go for Boyle.

[SquashedFrogg]

Bogdan announced till end of season

Excellent.

[mcfly]

Doesn’t matter what you sell boyle for, we wouldn’t spend the money anyway.

Him coming back from injury signalled our change in form so he is our most vital player at the moment.

If we sell out best player now then it signals to me our season is likely to Peter out mid table - doesnt show the fans a lot.

What we should be doing is offering him a new contract and see if he signs it first.

[stantonsboots]

No you can't, the must be the clouds in your eyes.....Maybe he's a bit of a rocket-man :greengrin

[sean04]

We are never going to improve as a club if we keep selling or losing our best players. We have failed to replace Ambrose, McGinn and Mcgeouch. Should be doing everything we can to keep our best players.

For years we have sold players and replaced them with garbage. It has to stop unless a huge offer comes in

With respect - the entire second paragraph is stating the obvious in the extreme.

The view that we get more value from retaining him is my opinion. I’m not one for knocking our transfer policy generally but selling our best player in January for anything other than an astronomical offer, would be terrible business.

You could buy a player at anytime so not the same pressure to sign in a window.

[davhibby]

I’d keep Boyle until the summer no matter what really. We’d never replace him this window and his stock will be high if he plays well at the Copa America in June

Totally chilled fella, just found it funny that the recruitment team & the club are taking a beating online due to a lack of transfer activity, when people who are normally moaning are the ones with ridiculous suggestions.

Age wise, when we have Stevenson, McGregor, Whittaker, Hanlon & Gray, all 30+, older players decline quickly, whether is be injuries or just in general (someone will quote 1 or 2 older players who still play at top level, well done, point stands). We are currently struggling in defence because we have let our defence from 2016, Gray, McGregor, Hanlon & Lewy, all get older without having readily made replacements, other than Porto, possibly Mackie, these players are now picking up more & more injuries or just look off the pace. id also add, theres a reason why Mulumbu & Efe havent been picked up by someone, ive no idea the reason btw, theyve both been free agents for going on 9 months.

[CMurdoch]

Presume this is the source of the Maxwell to Blackpool story, looks to me like the usual gibberish which passes for journalism these days
Blackpool are reportedly (https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1217494726728933376) eyeing up Preston North End goalkeeper Chris Maxwell.
The Tangerines suffered a blow at the start of the month as it has been announced (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50974329) that shot-stopper Jak Alnwick has been forced to have surgery after picking up an arm injury against Accrington Stanley on Boxing Day.
The 26-year-old has been Blackpool’s first choice this term, making 23 appearances (https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jak-alnwick/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/128895), and it appears they’re now looking for a replacement.
According to reputable journalist Alan Nixon (https://twitter.com/reluctantnicko/status/1217494726728933376), the League One club are keen on Preston goalkeeper Maxwell.

Blackpool are reportedly (https://www.blackpoolgazette.co.uk/sport/football/blackpool-fc/blackpool-linked-with-loan-swoop-for-portsmouth-goalkeeper-as-replacement-for-injured-jak-alnwick-1-10203109) also interested in Portsmouth keeper Luke McGee.

[Tyler Durden]

How much is McGinn earning at Villa. Can we match it?

Yes and we sold McGinn at the right time. The same would not currently be true of Boyle.

I don’t think we’ll be considering it anyway tbh

As I said I thought the comment of “easy as that” in the original post was obvious I wasn’t being entirely serious.

The recruitment team do get a hard time by some but I don’t think they can be criticised as up until the summer when Hecky signed what looked like his players I think they were doing a good job.

Fair enough, but I also think one of the main reasons the defence has struggled so much in the past 18 months is because it’s not had a midfield that protects it well enough.

I do think they’re getting on a bit and going down hill, however they’re being asked to defend the majority of the game as we seem unable to win the midfield battle.

I was freshness throughout the squad but I think someone like Dicker would be a very good addition to us regardless of age. It wouldn’t be long term but we need what he offers now. If he came in and done a job for a year then brilliant.

Let’s hope the recruitment team and Ross can add known quality to kick on the second half of the season!

I understand the money has went into building Easter road and the training center but now it has to go on the park.

Hibs generally break even money wise. Some years we lose money and other years we make a profit - it evens itself out.

Where is the extra money you want to spend going to come from?

Just because he played for Hibs doesn't make it a sacrilegious betrayal.

[loanheadhibby]

I am not sure if Boyle has improved as a player or we are slightly worse but when Boyle arrived, he was a squad player. Now, based on recent performances it would appear he is our most prized asset.

If I am Ron Gordon/Leann Dempster, I'd honesty be giving serious consideration to cashing in the chips now with Boyle. 2 serious knee injuries, countless trips to Oz etc, might fancy letting his contract run down.

Doidge, Horgan, Mallan, Kamberi, Marciano & Slivka weren't free transfers all were under contract and needed fees to sign.

The free transfers of players like Ambrose, Milligan, Allan, Vela & Hallberg will have required decent wages and likely signing-on fees for the players and agents etc. while loans like MacLaren, Omeonga, Bogdan, McNulty etc aren't given to us for free.

I've said it before but if you cannot see the difference in the signings we are making since being relegated and winning the cup and understand where the additional income we are generating is going then its either that you genuinely can't comprehend us reinvesting a £2m transfer fee by signing three of four players to three year contracts on better wages than we could afford before or its wilful ignorance for an excuse to have a go at the club.

Not all of the signings we make work out, that's life, and there are question marks over who is responsible for some of the signings that haven't performed as expected but the money is being spent in bringing these players in regardless.

[one day maybe...]

Gerrard saying Jamie Murphy and Greg Docherty are available to go out on loan this window.

[Unseen work]

Personally I think our recruitment team are good at finding players, you only have to look at some of the players we have brought in the last 5 years.

The issue we have is retaining them/getting something more than a 6 month loan.

I think £1M is under his true financial value whilst he's a Hibs player, although perhaps not by all that much.

However I'd argue that his role in this particular squad, considering the likelyhood of us finding a suitable replacement, is somewhat indispensable.

We shouldn't be selling in January unless one of those mythical 'crazy offers' comes in.

I think the whole idea of not selling in January is really if we’ve got a lot to play for in the second half of the season.

I think being realistic a European place is probably out of our grasp, with or without Boyle and we won’t get relegated so the only impact of selling him is likely to mean we might not make the top 6. Is that worth losing out on £1m+? I’m not sure.

That said, I wouldn’t sell him as I don’t think we’d replace him well. That’s nothing to do with it being in January though.

It’s ridiculously obvious that Boyle has improved year on year since arriving. We would be completely screwed without him now, we were utterly toothless when he was out injured. Losing him now would be a disaster.

[Onceinawhile]

Them admins sneaking around shutting down threads due to having unsubstantiated rumours. This thread better watch oot if that's the case.... :wink:

That's two now.

Would be interested just to know where the rumours have come from, or even if they involve Hibernian.

[stoneyburn hibs]

Hopefully the Boyle rumour stays just that.
I know it's unrealistic to get much more than £1m for him, I'd like to think that the board would tell Celtic to do one at this stage of the season.

It's entirely different when a 'rumour' comes from a very easily discredited source and involves a Hibs player doing something illegal.

I'm not sure why anybody would, but go to Twitter if you want to see that - it's not going to be platformed here without evidence.

Also, there's nothing sneaky about it. We've done the same with similar cases previously and the reasons are stated in the deletion notes.

We aren’t allowed to ask why though and just put it down to Hecky spending all the season ticket money and the John McGinn add on plus the £500k repayment we don’t have to pay Sir Tom anymore on Joe Newell, the Vegan Nish and Josh Vella. Just don’t reply either it would have helped if we had a sponsor this season because sponsor money is as valuable as Leigh Griffiths hair transplant - until we get a new one then it will be worth millions.

Oh and we are only 17 days into the transfer window and Ron Gordon has only been here over half a year. And we are still in a good position to finish 6th 👍

Maxwell, Jackson, James, Naismith, Middleton, Hallberg and Allan along with the three you mention will not have been a cheap transfer window.

We will make signings this window. It’s definitely going to happen. It would’ve been ideal to have had them in before now but it’s not always that easy. We got Omeonga last year on the 21st of the month and Marc McNulty on deadline day. They both played a huge part in the second half of our season.

Mathie and Dempster both sounded very positive about getting players in and recently that discussion are ongoing.

Vela
Allan
Hallberg
Newell
Middleton
Doidge

So so average it’s frightening.

Only Naismith, Allan, Hallberg and Doidge have proven to be decent enough additions so far. The rest have it all to prove, tbf Doidge still has to totally convince me. Not sure we can rely on him consistently for goals.

Heckingbottom was in a really brilliant position where he had a small squad but decent and able to recruit whoever he wanted. Unfortunately for us it planned out really bad

Hes not in the know or Boyce isn't signing for Hearts, they are about pulling the head off it over there.

Massive game on Sunday - would have expected a defensive midfielder.

we cannot afford to go out the cup or our season will end up petering out to
nothing.

Have to say I’m underwhelmed with our board just now.

Aberdeen are strengthening, so why can’t we?

Aye now you come to mention it, they players all must have came with a hefty price tag:

Maxwell - Preston sub - loan
Jackson - Barnsley reserve - pap
James - Yeovil of the Vauxhall conf
Naismith - loan, no danger he will be costing much
Middleton - see above, St Mirren can now afford him
Vela - probably the exception but signed because an Aberdeen side who has just signed three new players beat us to that Ojo chap.
Allan - only signing out of about - 12 that is a complete success
Newell - meh
V Nish, value for money?

That list is utterly depressing and it baffles me if we’ve shot our complete load on that bunch. The recruitment team need to have a word regardless of letting Hecky have a free reign of it or not.

[CMurdoch]

Some ITK poster on Kickback seems to reckon Boyce has signed for them.

Have just read the thread on JKB and recognise an ITK poster amongst a sea of slavers.
What he has said is that Hearts have re-entered talks with Burton about Boyce.

What I take from that is that Stendal is getting nervous and frustrated.
He badly wants Boyce and has intimated this to the recruitment team.
As we all know you can sign any player you want if you have enough money.
The problem with desperation is you are likely to pay way over the odds for the player.
So it is possible that Hearts could get Boyce but it is likely they will pay BMW money for a Vauxhall.

They then need to persuade Boyce to come up the road.
His agent will also be aware of their desperation and will pump them as well.
All very painful and at the end of the day they will have a very expensive goalscorer who looks like a garden gnome.

It might of course all turn out to be total squirrels pish :wink:

I might be crazy but I think we did ok with our budget but went about it the wrong way. The players have actually played some very good stuff, even under Hecky we tore Aberdeen to shreds at Pittodrie and if Doidge had remembered his boots we would have scored 4 or 5. Eddie May oversaw us pumping St Johnstone away then Ross has come in and had us taking Aberdeen apart again, Motherwell and Hearts away. I think the biggest issue vwas the amount of players we brought in from down south at once. Took us an age to get going and ultimately cost Hecky his job. The players confidence was shot to pieces towards the end with Hecky. The players are more than capable. That's why I'm not ready to write Vela off just yet

I saw Vela playing against Reading at the start of last season and he was a standout - involved in all Bolton's attacks and made the only goal of the game with a cracking ball over the Reading defence. If we can get that Vela playing we have a real star on our hands.

The only other player I remember seeing was Newell and I was also impressed with him as a counter-attacking midfielder - making himself availabe and moving the ball on quickly. Not a winger though. I might also have seen Jackson, but can't be sure.

We must have been watching a different player.

Agree that he’s looked better when moved inside a bit more but to suggest he’s offered more positive than negative is a huge stretch imo.

Been a very poor signing so far, again imo.

Not a huge stretch. We've only lost 1 league game he has started, won 4, drawn 3. He must be doing something right when he plays because he is contributing to good results.

I think he needs to do more but considering he's had a few knocks, took a wee while to settle and hasn't had any consistent run he's done okay.

At least Newell is improving - his recent appearances were much better than his first few, suggesting to us that there is more to come from him.

Even Newell himself would probably admit that we've not had enough from him over the first half of the season so - maybe a bit harshly - we'd have to accept that so far he's been a disappointing signing.

He's not a hopeless one though - in fact, I'd say getting him fit and playing regularly is one of the things we have to look forward most as he has shown he can play.

Getting players to play next him has to be the priority, but if we are operating some sort of nonsensical one in one out with our squad then it's hard to see how it's not going to leave us short elsewhere (unless we lose one of our many right backs).

This squad is a mess, if the truth be told. Not a disaster but the kind of squad we got used to pre-Stubbs, with glaring deficiencies and more than ample cover elsewhere. We're a professional club FFS, it's a piece of nonsense.

Newall has added more positive than negative so far. Might not have done enough but he's easily our best option on the left of the diamond, done well there imo.Said before when he signed that my next door neighbour's a Peterborough fan and he says Newell is a good skilful player who was frustrating as he could dip in and out of games.

He said he's never a winger, great passer and he wanted Posh to keep him.

The last part in particular is mental really.

It’s shocking we have been allowed to regress to a squad with such glaring deficiencies. Hopefully we can start to redress the balance and quality in the squad

I dont really even get giving one of our own players a derogatory nickname personally.

Pardon me but where about is it derogatory? I would love for you to point me into the direction of your way of thinking before coming out with such remarks.

[The 90+2]

You think calling him the Vegan Nish was meant as a compliment? Anyway, Im the wrong one to ask, I didnt give him the name.

Honestly, people would argue about Hibs playing in green in this place :faf:

You’re obviously the correct one to ask as you called it derogatory. At least make your mind up on that one.

He reminds me of Nish, I’ve never once slated Nish and he came from a Vegan team.

Now where about is it derogatory? Or do you fancy apologising for making up nonsense?

[The 90+2]

Better that than copy & paste derogatory comments about our own players! I genuinely don't understand how you consider that helpful in any way. Meanwhile there's just over 2 weeks of the window to go!

Where’s the derogatory comments? You’ve jumped the gun and failed

Meanwhile our biggest match of the season is in two days and we are in worse state than the start of December 👍

Nah Im quite happy to apologies if I was wrong. Nish is not normally praised for his time at Hibs, but if you did indeed mean it as a compliment then I am sorry.

Damn everyone is angry as f*** on here these days.

I genuinely did. Even when he’s scored I’ve called him the Vegan Nish. Apology accepted, I can see where you’re coming from in all honesty but it wasn’t derogatory to Doidge and if there was some kind of way of searching my past remark of being the Vegan Nish I’ve always went out my way to say it’s not a bad thing.

Regarding Omeonga’s Instagram story.



I’m not wanting to be a creepy guy here but looking at the photo he is on a Ryanair plane flying over the Swiss alps. A Ryanair plane took off from Milan at 6am our time and landed at Edinburgh at 8.10 am..

According to Instagram he added the photo to his story approximately 5 hours ago, now assuming he took the photo and added it to his story while in the air it would not actually upload until the plane had landed and he received 4g signal.

Now if the plane landed at about 8am that is... 5 hours ago......

Therefore with my detective hat on I can 100% confirm beyond a shadow of a doubt that Omeonga was on a plane from Milan to Edinburgh today.


EDIT: To add further you can see the reflection of the sun in the wingtip of the plane, the sun is rising on the opposite side of the plane to him, ergo the plane is flying north over the Swiss alps and not south.

This is quality, great detective work.

Would sort of make sense given Mathie apparently suggested a list of targets to Jack Ross and one of them was indeed Omeonga. I'd be surprised if McNulty wasn't on their minds too, unless Jack doesn't fancy him.

[The 90+2]

He can make a tackle, has energy and is composed on the ball. I agree we need someone defensive minded in the middle of the park though, it would greatly benefit our defenders getting exposed at times as well as being a solid presence. No idea who that guy is though mind you.

It might sound mental but I would rather we got Omeonga back than McGeough.

A midfield of Halberg and Omeonga sitting with Allan and Boyle ahead of them. Oh yeah!

[Not In The Know]

Yup!

It would make sense. Omeonga was meant to be going elsewhere, we have it confirmed that Mallan is injured and all of a sudden Steph’s move to Venice is off. Please let it happen.

Milan is an hour ahead of the UK so it would be between 9am and 10am local time no?

[Paisley Hibby]

There isn’t any transfer news for people to discuss.

Well maybe it would be an idea to have a thread for folk to argue and vent about that and a separate one dedicated solely to any actual transfer news/rumours. Having to plough through pages and pages of mince only to find that there's no news is rippin ma knittin.

No idea if Omeonga is coming or not but this theory is fantastic and at least gives us something to be hopeful for...

[SaulGoodman]

There is a Ryanair plane that departed from Milan Bergamo airport at 0730 this morning bound for Brussels. It would have flew over the alps at about 0750 which would tie in with the sunrise when you are at ~37000 feet.

I am utterly, utterly defeated.

[JeMeSouviens]

The time is from whoever took the screenshot on their phone. If it was Peevemor then he's in France so would be CET. If it was someone in the UK then it would be 1 hour behind.

I saw Vela playing against Reading at the start of last season and he was a standout - involved in all Bolton's attacks and made the only goal of the game with a cracking ball over the Reading defence. If we can get that Vela playing we have a real star on our hands.

The only other player I remember seeing was Newell and I was also impressed with him as a counter-attacking midfielder - making himself availabe and moving the ball on quickly. Not a winger though. I might also have seen Jackson, but can't be sure.

Well I haven’t seen anything from Vela that makes me want him to stay But from your description maybe New Manger needs to see if he can coax that type of performance from him before making a decision
Newell just hasn’t been consistent and isn’t a starter for me unless things improve

I wonder if something could be in the offing then as normally there’s updates from the journalists on twitter who are there.

I know sometimes when there’s news to announce they tell the journalists about it but don’t let them release the news until a certain time (there’s a name for an agreement like that but I can’t remember what it is)
