Winter 2019-20 transfer thread

[SMAXXA]

Good to see the club looking at players who are doing it week in week out in our league, some will find it uninspiring mind and maybe not the same excitement of an unknown quantity

I think it’s different with a young up and coming player.

Imo most people would be pretty happy with someone like him signing

[Iain G]

Quick check of Wikipedia would suggest he and Ross would have been at St Mirren together?

Might also give us an edge over Aberdeen if we’re interested in him.

In a parallel dimension Ross Jack is trying to sign Stewart Ross.

[Paloschi]

Ross Stewart and McNulty in and Kamberi out? 🤔

[sean04]

[QUOTE=SMAXXA;6062422]Good to see the club looking at players who are doing it week in week out in our league, some will find it uninspiring mind and maybe not the same excitement of an unknown quantity[/QUO

Stick these players into a better team and they will only get better

[Joe6-2]

Zero percent 😊

😂

[Stuart93]

Aberdeen also interested which was a bit disappointing to read.

If we’ve made a move already though and they’re waiting to see what happens with Cosgrove then hopefully we can steal a march on them.

What kind of striker is he? Big and good in the air, quick, a poacher, a number 10 or a bit of them all?

Of course they are

If cosgrove goes I fully expect him to join Aberdeen but it would be nice for hibs to surprise us

[Heisenberg]

Ross Stewart and McNulty in and Kamberi out? 🤔

I wouldn’t be overly disappointed with that. Flo needs to do more for us.

[Stuart93]

I wouldn’t be overly disappointed with that. Flo needs to do more for us.

Would take that

[04Sauzee]

Seems strange that Ross Stewart wasnt part of the Shaw deal unless certain things have changed recently.

Also does anyone know how much longer he's going to be out for? Last played 29th December.

[sean04]

Ross Stewart and McNulty in and Kamberi out? 🤔

Depends what kind of money we would get

[SHODAN]

Would require a big six figure fee according to this. Scott Burns is usually very reliable.

Aberdeen also interested. Next!

[Heisenberg]

Aberdeen also interested. Next!

Only if Cosgrove is sold though? And we are the only ones to have made contact so far.

[K-Zazu]

Spend some money hibs!

[MrRobot]

Yeah but that’s not a club position is what I was meaning

ah sorry, i get you. whatever the role, will be good having him back.

[MrRobot]

Why are Aberdeen players getting these ludicrous valuations? Coscrgove 7 million and that McKenna 10 million? Maybe I'm missing something and just don't understand the game

Usually people moan that players in Scotland are massively undervalued by English leagues, but when English leagues prepare to spend bigger amounts we question it?

McKenna is so overrated it’s ridiculous

McKenna is so overrated it’s ridiculous

Which is why he has not been sold yet. It’s the same with Morelos. Neither player worth the silly price tags put on them by their clubs.

Quality player but not worth what Rangers tout him as worth. Add in the disciplinary factor and you see why he is still there.

BBC reporting Hearts are in talks to sign Craig Gordon.

Be a good signing.

[Springbank]

Noticed the Daily Record piece said Stoke had offered Aberdeen £2m plus add-ons for Cosgrove.

That seemed to me about right - he's certainly not a £7m player

Then again, I'm one of those who thinks it's amazing that Year 2000 was 20 years ago because it seems to me like 1980 was only 20 years ago

[Unseen work]

Thinking about it, how much could County realistically ask for?

We gave them Shaw who is younger and scored more goals in the top league?

[JimboHibs]

Morelos is a goal machine

Doidge is a goal machine 💚

[hibbyfraelibby]

We won’t let Boyle or Kamberi go now. I’m almost 100% sure of it

Neither are going this window, especially as the cup is still on.

[Souter96Mac]

They must have some wage bill, even currently. Gordon won't be cheap.

[Stuart93]

Maybe kamberi if we’re looking at Stewart & McNulty

I wouldn’t lose much sleep over kamberi moving on. Another poor performance last night

Inconsistency personified

[Jim44]

Ross Stewart and McNulty in and Kamberi out? 🤔

Aberdeen are also interested in R S and, if it boils down to money, we might struggle to compete. I’d like to think we stand a chance with M McN. I’m in the minority but I would prefer to hold on to F K, unless a new striker coming in really depended on cash from selling him. Rotating Doidge, McNulty and Kamberi is not too shabby.

[we are hibs]

Kamberi is a better player than McNulty.

[hibbyfraelibby]

McGeady in the stand tonight. Been told to leave Sunderland.

33 year old... past his best.

Not coming

[easty]

I wouldn't be dissapointed if he chose Aberdeen over us.

[hibbyfraelibby]

I can’t see McGeady just sitting at home today and then take a random notion to watch Hibs v Dundee Utd in the freezing cold on a Tuesday night either!

Ever consider he may be a DUFC target?

[Greenworld]

Aberdeen also interested. Next!They already have 100k plus they paid for shaw.
So we use that topped up with 150k and buy him now .

That ticket and accommodation has already been "ponied up" by a benifactor.

Really! He played about 20 minutes!

[Jim44]

Unless Boyle is hankering for a move, I don’t think JR will even consider getting rid of him.

[SlickShoes]

Really! He played about 20 minutes!

He was poor when he was on, his touch let him down as did his decision making. I like him, he's just stuck in a rut just now I think.

[GreenPJ]

Ever consider he may be a DUFC target?

Unless they have already factored in Shankland's sale they can't afford anyone like that based on their wages to turnover ratio.

[calumhibee1]

Ever consider he may be a DUFC target?

They’d be mental to take on McGeady on presumably big wages when the league is in the bag and they’re out all the cups now.

[mentalhibee]

I’d take Mcgeady reckon he’d still be class at this level.

[Stuart93]

Really! He played about 20 minutes!

Correct and for they 20 minutes he was *****?

Ball never stuck to him done nothing but give it away

He’s the most inconsistent player we have

[Hibbyradge]

They are tempted to change tact and move for 5 million rated Doidge

Start by offering £15m and we can discuss add-ons.

From Ross County.

[Hibbyradge]

Really! He played about 20 minutes!

Correct. He came on at the 70 minute mark so he actually played 24 minutes.

Maybe with more time he would have got more into the game, but he didn't contribute positively in the quarter game he was given, imo.

[Smartie]

Nothing was coming off for him but there was no shortage of effort and I thought we played better as a team when he was on.

:greengrin

True, but let English teams pay 7million for rank players, hopefully that could lead to bigger bids on better players in the future.

Players in Scotland have been undervalued by the English leagues for far too long IMO.

I think some people never got over Lennon leaving and kamberi's "involvement" in it. Nothing wrong with criticising his performances and inconsistency which are frustrating because hes clearly talented but the personal slants at it ever since last January has been stinking and not a coincidence.

It was a very good game and an excellent result. I'm delighted I made the journey. It does seem that we're making progress under Ross.

[brog]

Nothing was coming off for him but there was no shortage of effort and I thought we played better as a team when he was on.

Thanks, I'm not supporting him, I have reservations about his attitude but as long as he put in the effort i dont see how a 21 minute cameo can be described as 'another poor performance'.

I just don't think his contribution to the team is good enough and that his decision making is baffling at times.

Other opinions are available.

[Percy Vere]

Thinking about it, how much could County realistically ask for?

We gave them Shaw who is younger and scored more goals in the top league?

£150k with add ons?

they weren't on it all the time but when they were they were terrific.

Nowadays nobody accepts that

[Percy Vere]

I agree, he puts himself about and that creates space for the likes of Boyle, Newell, Alan to set up the Doidge. So even when he’s not scoring he’s contributing.

I take your point but if they were trying to maintain a bit of secrecy about any transaction, I doubt whether McGeady would be casually sitting in the stand. I wouldn’t mind being proved wrong but I’ve a feeling there might be another reason he was there last night.

Ross sounded genuinely surprised McGeady was there

[HibeeMassive]

Agree, but on the flip side if Boyle has said he's wanting to go - then to get someone of McGeady's pedigree would be a good stop gap until the end of the season rather than taking a punt on a young guy from down south on loan.

Would much, much, rather keep Boyler though :worried:

It must be the case that Nisbet is a no go which is hugely unfortunate. Looked like the exact type of striker we needed.

I have seen him on tv playing for county and was impressed with him

Scored two headers against us.

[HendoDelivered]

Just seen this on Twitter:

Marc McNulty is wanted by Hibernian and a deal is likely to happen for him to link up again with Jack Ross for the remainder of season.

Liam Cullen from Swansea?

Was mentioned yesterday.

Had a look on the Swansea forum and they seem to think the account that made the link yesterday is reliable and good for Swansea info.

They also seem to really rate the guy, out of contract in the summer so they’ll either be giving him a new contract and loaning him out straight away or we’ll be signing him on a permanent deal. Seemed to be uncertainty as to whether we’d be due them anything with it being a cross border transfer.

[Torto7]

Looking at that Walesonline article it says that Barry McKay could go out this window. I wonder if we're interested? He fits the profile of players we've signed before.

[Lee Marvin]

Would be happy with this if get reasonable money for Kamberi. Infact, I'd be delighted

He’s pushing for a move to Hibs and wants to play for us. Just needs to gaffer to let him go.

Hopefully it's mcgeady, far superior player to McNulty.

This just in from my Swansea academy mate re: Cullen.

Its always a gamble with academy players but hes highly rated here and we want him blooded ready for next season. Just signed a 2.5 year contract after scoring 4 against Everton under 23s.

Think mcgeady would make an impact, has a lot more quality than Horgan,. Think he would score goals, takes a good free kick. Talking about a player that commanded huge wages and big transfer fees during his career

No assumption made the previous poster said it would blow our wage budget

[The Captain....]

Really surprised if we are interested in McGeady..budget needed elsewhere. I'd question whether the hunger is still there with him..even allowing for age and his wages he should be playing at a higher level than League 1 with the ability he had. I dont see the sense in this at all.

Concentrate on the spine of the team..a centre half and defensive midfielder still the priority as I see it.

Did he not win League 1 player of the year under J R? If he did and can be had within our budget , i can see exactly why we are going for him.

I think we’ll sign Mcgeady, I don’t think he would have been there last night without a realistic chance of it happening.

I’m also sure we won’t be paying him £10k a week, looking at the reaction on here and on Twitter I really hope people don’t put too much weight on that tweet from Nixon.

Mcgeady and McNulty would both be excellent signings imo.

You've got to remember last season that McNulty never had Boyle and Allan supplying him, with those 2 and his intelligent runs he would score a barrel load imo.

McGeady is just pure quality, if he gets a chance he will take it.

What’s an absolute certainty that if Mcgeady does sign it will be a fact that he’s on 10k a week whether true or not and used against him as soon as he has a bad touch :greengrin

I think Omeonga gives us that urgency and bite in midfield.

Seems to be quite a recent thing that you have to have a defensive midfielder and they have to be a certain stature.

That role has been played by the likes of Makelele and ****e no problem with different attribute to your Bartley types.

I kinda feel like that’s not going to happen now. Well we’ll sign McGinn but not the midfielder. We can score goals and, as obvious as it sounds, we just need to try and out score teams for the rest of the season. Rebuild the defensive side of the team in the summer.
