Winter 2019-20 transfer thread

[Tyler Durden]

Anyone thinking we are getting Docherty or Barker are kidding themselves.

We don’t fund these type of deals, we don’t have the cash.

Kamberi will go on loan and we might get McNulty but it will be last minute. If we don’t it will be Boyle and Gullen to support Doidge.

Not sure why Docherty would be out of our reach, not all that different to signing McGeouch in part exchange.

Docherty’s options appear to be us or a move to League One. He might be perfectly happy to get games here for 18 months and put himself in the shop window.

There’s also no way we’d let Kamberi go without having McNulty in the bag.

[ahibby]

Bringing in McNulty and letting Flo go wouldnt be strengthening IMO an so this Hibby would be disappointed.

[Heisenberg]

Flo has been poor for ages. No idea what’s happened to him after his initial 6 month spell.

[RossScott1991]

Absolutely. For me Flo flatters to deceive. Good one week, poor the next out the team the next. Whilst we may disagree on who would command the higher fee, Boyle is more valuable to us on the pitch at this moment in time and would be the more difficult to replace

Agree soo much on this. Kamberi seems to get an easy ride from supporters because he was excellent in the spell we first signed him. Since then he’s drifted along , not leading team. Being largely ineffective. His touch doesn’t seem to have got any better.

compare that with Doidge who got a hard time, but has a spot on attitude and has fought back. He’s the more important out the two moving forward. Far too many in this hibs team get an easy ride because they were a part of a good hibs team having a good season when we came back up. Since then we’ve underperformed and kamberi has been the part of that.

if we get a good deal then sell. He won’t last at rangers.

as for McNulty decent signing, but Abit like Omeonga I’m happy to have them back at Hibs but I wouldn’t go overboard with excitement for them. I thought MM was decent in his spell here, but if it’s just another loan spell with another summer saga of signing him again I’m not overly convinced he’s the answer either.

[B.H.F.C]

Bringing in McNukty and letting Flo go wouldnt be strengthening IMO an so this Hibby would be disappointed.

Flo arguably a better player. We’d get more from McNulty though, IMO.

[madhatter]

I wasn't a huge fan of McNulty first time round. He scored a lot at first, but once the goals dried up he didn't really offer much to the team (as I saw it). With Kamberi, even if he doesn't score he still has an impact.

For me McNulty and Kamberi were/are the same - when goals dry up they aren’t very good. Doidge has much better general play (hold up and bringing other players into play) than both. Many games this season and last it was like having 1 less player when Kamberi was playing. He is nothing like the player that came on loan. He chased down defenders and ran a lot, now he jogs or walks a lot and then does his stepovers and has horrendous touches. Sorry to say it but he lost his way when he stopped working hard in matches. Not sure if coaches have advised him to poach or stay upfield but he’s regressed as a player in my eyes.

[Not In The Know]

In my view Completely different players in every way..with completely different attitudes....when things are tough, you don’t see McNulty go in to a mood, he works just as hard when things aren’t going for him...

Good shout! Think the Hun will pay more tho… Time for Kennyboy to show his allegiance! :greengrin

[tamig]

Nobody is paying £2m for Boyle either.

Boyle is far more valuable to the team. As the original poster said, Kamberi is nowhere near the most valuable asset on the pitch. Nothing to do with what kind of fee he might command.

[3pm]

Now we're talking.

[1620]

Pretty much. Dont think Ross fancies him. If we can swap him for someone decent i would be happy

The boy Docherty at Ibrox is a box to box midfielder who can put in a tackle when required but also scores goals. I think he would fit into the style of play JR wants at Hibs and would be a decent swap for Kamberi who only plays a good game for us once in a blue moon (no pun intended) or when it suits him.

[ahibby]

Flo arguably a better player. We’d get more from McNulty though, IMO.

But woyld make us morw lightweight. We already have enough wee guys n McNultys goals dried up after a while. Flo despite his poor first touch wrong decisions wayward flicks on a good day is better and i acknowledge u said as much

More lightweight? Nah

McNulty could play as a lone striker and keep 2 defenders occupied himself. Flo has shown after his initial loan, that he couldn’t play upfront on his own. He’s been bullied plenty of times

McNulty playing off Doidge would be a great prospect IMO.

[jacomo]

If it’s a loan with a 2 million fee guaranteed in the summer then that’s fine by me.


Only if the guarantee is secured on something tangible.

[B.H.F.C]

But woyld make us morw lightweight. We already have enough wee guys n McNultys goals dried up after a while. Flo despite his poor first touch wrong decisions wayward flicks on a good day is better and i acknowledge u said as much

McNulty isn’t a giant but he can handle himself.

He spent a lot of time playing up front on his own. Playing with Doidge I think he’d do well and score plenty goals.

[JohnM1875]

Sienna Miller?! :hyper

[gaz1875]

Kamberi out Kenny Miller short term deal in.

Funnily enough I don't think that's a bad shout and was in my thoughts. He's getting on in years but knows how to play the front line very well. Craig Brewster although a different type of player was also getting on, not as old but was superb for us leading the front line. One things for sure he would give his all and coach on the field which we have been sadly lacking over the last few seasons.

[madhatter]

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

I didn’t say they were same player, I used the dash to qualify what I meant - neither are great in a team when they aren’t scoring. McNulty may have worked hard but we were poor after the split last season and McNulty didn’t contribute in improving that. I’d prefer McNulty over Kamberi but for me there isn’t a huge difference between the two. Kamberi has had a good scoring run for us before, so has McNulty. Both have went through barren spells where you would forget they were on the park.

[The Wireless]

Take Docherty & McNulty for Flo. Get it done Hibs.

[CB_NO3]

If Kamberi is the type of player Rangers are looking at you can give Celtic the title now. He has been pretty poor this season and doesn't help the team and is not really a goal threat.

Don't want Barker back but would be keen on Jones. Barker has glass ankles.

[mjhibby]

When will folk learn to ignore everything the DR says. By all means, read it if you want, but don’t attach any credence to their crap. The £2m transfer, trigger, for example, is a figment of their imagination and I’m sure they would never be privy to that sort of information.

Exactly. Who are we playing in six days time. Jings what a surprise it's the the sevco. How many times have we seen this. Age old question tactic and the Dr is the mouthpiece. Has anybody actually thought he might not want to go there. Fwiw if he leaves for them or an other and we get McNulty and Liam cullen from Swansea id be delighted with that.

They are not anywhere near the form they were in before the break. I'm sure Flo won't start against them anyway but anything that unsettles the opposition they will do it. It happens every time we play them.

Why true, and I would rather have Boyle in the team at the moment it’s hardly another endorsement of statement of intent by our new (ish) owner, two head coaches saying we are skint and we are selling the most financially (arguably aye okay) asset we have. We knew what we needed this window and have failed massively to address it. We are sixth in the league with a threadbare squad too. It’s major underwhelming.

Kamberi I like but not convinced he really wants to be here playing for Hibs. His goals record has gone from decent to looking fairly poor. One every 5 or so games at this level isnt a good return. He has potential for sure but get the feeling it won't be realised at us, if anyone.

Hope I'm wrong but I think he feels he's destined for bigger things, which, given his performances this season, isn't something I think many would agree with.

He’s got 3 league goals this year mate. He’s replaceable - trust me.

He might be great for Rangers but he’s not been for us far too often. I’d rather he stayed but he is 100 percent replaceable.

Aye fair enough mate. It’s the replacing part I’m not confident in though. 👍

Yeah we had a big splurge in the summer including bringing Allan in who will be part of the forward budget spend. Some have worked and some have not. This January we have brought Stephan O in plus Paul McGinn and working on McNulty. Maybe 90+2 should follow a big spending English club. We have done a lot of business over the last 6 months. Time to get real about our budget.

Sadly not a one off from some where I stand.

[southern hibby]

Flo does my head in. Let’s be honest he hasn’t improved, infact I’d say he’s regressed, if not regressed then definitely stalled as I see no improvement on the player we were loaned before buying him. A team like Hibs can’t afford to carry a player who only decides to play when there’s a scout in the stand or when he fancies it.

I think on his day he is a joy to watch and on these days we ‘re lucky to have him. On the days he can’t be bothered it’s a shame and we really can’t afford to carry passengers and unfortunately in my eyes this is what he is.

Would I let him go? yes but only on our terms. I would love to see him stay and progress with us but I just don’t think it’s going to happen.

i know some on here won’t agree with me and that’s fine but I’m only giving my opinion. whatever happens I hope it’s the best for Flo and ultimately Hibs.

Have we ever got the better of a deal with Rangers or Sevco?

Dealing with them is doing a deal with the devil, I’d be amazed if we got anything like a decent fee from that potless shower.

They’re in the deep stuff with their striking options and we should be in a position to hold out for decent cash for a player who might come back and haunt us.

FWIW I think Flo thinks he’s above us and we’ll only ever get inconsistency from him - outstanding performances when he can be arsed, the usual when he can’t. He’d be up for playing for Rangers all right and he could be a very decent signing for them, especially if we’re into appeasement mode again and give them a favourable deal.

I sit down the front of the FF. We moved to the very back after HT as it was a bit parky at the front. Three guys along from us slated Doidge non-stop and even carried it on after he’d scored twice. They never said a word after the hat-trick goal. I don’t see the thrill at all. Crazy behaviour.

Nope, Hanlon played in most though. As has stevenson.

[SquashedFrogg]

37 goals conceded in the league... 8th worst in the division.

Tbf there's mitigating reasons for that. We've had 4 different RB's, 4 multiple centre half combos, 2 different keepers and god knows how many different midfields in front of them. That's excluding an un balanced forward line and 2 managers.

To keep things on track. Any news on McGinn? Think he will be an understated signing which will turn out a very good one.

Have we ever got the better of a deal with Rangers or Sevco?

Dealing with them is doing a deal with the devil, I’d be amazed if we got anything like a decent fee from that potless shower.

They’re in the deep stuff with their striking options and we should be in a position to hold out for decent cash for a player who might come back and haunt us.

FWIW I think Flo thinks he’s above us and we’ll only ever get inconsistency from him - outstanding performances when he can be arsed, the usual when he can’t. He’d be up for playing for Rangers all right and he could be a very decent signing for them, especially if we’re into appeasement mode again and give them a favourable deal.

Any money received from Sevco for Kamberi I'd take straight to Dunfermline and sign Nisbet. He's the signing of this window. Dunfy want a big fee because they know as well as all the other clubs sniffing around the guy that he is a very good footballer who knows were the goals are. Sign Nisbet.

I don't imagine we've signed too many players direct from Rangers, although there are plenty of players who have played for both clubs. Among the few I can think of who came direct to us from them Daz has been a terrific signing, while I recall Dougie Bell being a very decent player for us in the mid to late 80s.

If it's true Kamberi has said he wants to be a Hun he can take a running flying jump at himself (whatever that actually means) and we should be going balls to the walls to get in a decent replacement before the window slams shut.

I've wanted him to go too. I've never seen what others see in him. He has his moments but he has a poor touch and lacks football nous.
Sign Nisbet from Dunfermline. He's a player.

[CapitalGreen]

No interest in putting a Rangers player in the shop window so they can get a better fee for him in the summer. Permanent deal for Docherty or GTF.

[Jim44]

If it's true Kamberi has said he wants to be a Hun he can take a running flying jump at himself (whatever that actually means) and we should be going balls to the walls to get in a decent replacement before the window slams shut.

I don’t think the DR will have any real evidence of Kamberi’s desire to get away from ER. They’ve probably read things on social media and are sussing out that his heart is not really at ER these days (haven’t we all?). If Kamberi really has spoken to the DR and a move doesn’t transpire, he’s going to have a very uncomfortable four months with us. If it’s all pie in the sky, he’ll have to clear the air and work hard to get away in summer.

[Hibbyradge]

Kamberi is a strange one. Puffs out his chest and makes faces like Ronaldo. Moves his legs like a 90's rave dancer but doesn't run very fast. Only looks interested once in 3 or 4 games. Makes terrible decisions on the park. I'm actually surprised Rangers think he'd be a good signing

I agree.

I think he's what we used to call a fan dancer.

Maybe that was just me. :hmmm:

Be fine with that if we get another striker in. Think Docherty is class.

[ahibby]

Every Hibby knows Flos weaknesses and not one of us would complain if we replace him with someone who makes us stronger. Cant see Rangers wanting to make us stronger so swap deal feels wrong unless they are dummer than i think.

[madhatter]

Docherty is a player I wanted us to get for years. If they make this happen I will be delighted.

Giving Rangers a loan and a buyout on Kamberi for a 6 month loan of Docherty doesn't sound a great deal. Kamberi couldn't come back after a loan to Rangers either (fans would not respond well to him) so unless we get a permanent option on Docherty it isn't a great deal.

[CapitalGreen]

I’m what way is the second half of the season massive? Of the last 10 seasons (2011-20) it is probably likely to be least massive in regards to what we are playing for.

[Just_Jimmy]

If Flo is a loan then he can't play against us. That makes sense.

Still weird. Hate doing any business with them.

Is Docherty that good? I've seen very little of him, I do remember being against Middleton signing and was told he was an outstanding player etc. If Docherty doesn't want to come, it's for six months then I hope he's good.

[Hibs4185]

I think a loan is an incredibly strange deal but I trust Leeann and the board to get us the best deal possible.

If that purchase is basically a swap it’s a great deal.

[Unseen work]

For as much as I like Kamberi his goals return simply isn’t good enough, he has the odd exceptional game but as a whole he’s been disappointing since his return. I think McNulty and Stewart whilst not as flashy, would be a lot more productive and offer a better goals return over the course of a season.

McGinn will be a handy option right back and defensive mid, quick player and bags of energy. Has a bit of dig about him too.

Docherty would be a brilliant signing, can bomb about the pitch with ease and chip in with goals too.

[Johnny Clash]

If Kamberi heads West on loan and he doesn’t impress then he’ll get very little game time and his value will drop.

[SRHibs]

Impossible to get the best out of Kamberi it seems. Maybe we should've hired an actor to pose as a scout every week.

Docherty would be a brilliant signing. Although, like most January signings his lack of game time recently would be an issue.

Also not sure when his contract expires, but hopefully he's like most of our other recent signings and loves being here and want's to stay (Bogdan, Omeonga etc)

[SMAXXA]

I’m what way is the second half of the season massive? Of the last 10 seasons (2011-20) it is probably likely to be least massive in regards to what we are playing for.

Almost guaranteed to be in the last 8 of the Scottish cup for a start or does that not count? Shall we just give up hope of Europe despite being the form team outside the old firm and well? That’s why it’s massive

[Stuart93]

If Kamberi heads West on loan and he doesn’t impress then he’ll get very little game time and his value will drop.

Exactly the reason a loan would be sheer stupidity

Then you have a player who comes back who doesn’t want to be at us and you’re trying to offload him when his stocks low

[B.H.F.C]

If Kamberi heads West on loan and he doesn’t impress then he’ll get very little time and his value will drop.

If it’s only an option to buy, there is a fair chance they won’t take it up IMO.

They play with one up top. Morellos plays when fit. Defoe is out for a few weeks, but, when he’s back he’d be ahead of Kamberi. They just want some extra cover. He won’t play much and the bump him back to us in the summer.

[The 90+2]

If Kamberi heads West on loan and he doesn’t impress then he’ll get very little game time and his value will drop.

When Morelos gets banned again and Defoe is injured he will be central to their European and league challenges. One or two games against Braga then he will be in the shop window big time.

Can Albania qualify for the Euros?

[DavidDavidGray]

Greg Docherty isn’t an upgrade on Omeonga, Allan or Hallberg plus Newell has been playing extremely well recently. Would be baffled if we loaned out one of our 2 current strikers just to get a rotation midfielder. If we were selling him I would understand as it would give us transfer money, but a loan seems mental.

[Stuart93]

I can’t believe so many people have watched Docherty so closely to form such a strong opinion on him

Canny really remember watching him

[The 90+2]

Impossible to get the best out of Kamberi it seems. Maybe we should've hired an actor to pose as a scout every week.

Complete myth he only performs when there’s a random scout there. You think the huns and Poznan just watch him on telly?

[JohnM1875]

I can’t believe so many people have watched Docherty so closely to form such a strong opinion on him

MacKay Steven didn’t play for Rangers?

[Hibbyradge]

Flo does my head in. Let’s be honest he hasn’t improved, infact I’d say he’s regressed, if not regressed then definitely stalled as I see no improvement on the player we were loaned before buying him. A team like Hibs can’t afford to carry a player who only decides to play when there’s a scout in the stand or when he fancies it.

I think on his day he is a joy to watch and on these days we ‘re lucky to have him. On the days he can’t be bothered it’s a shame and we really can’t afford to carry passengers and unfortunately in my eyes this is what he is.

Would I let him go? yes but only on our terms. I would love to see him stay and progress with us but I just don’t think it’s going to happen.

i know some on here won’t agree with me and that’s fine but I’m only giving my opinion. whatever happens I hope it’s the best for Flo and ultimately Hibs.

GGTTH

I'd rather we didn't have players who might have decent abilities, but decide that they were or weren't up for it as their mood takes them.

I'd rather a team full of Lewis Stevenson types who may not be the most skillful, but who are 100% committed every time they wear the jersey.

If you have Docherty and Omeonga you really don’t need a traditional DM. Energy wins the ball back. Those 2, newall, Allan. A great 4 to chose 3 and two wingers. Boyle and Mcgeady. We would be very strong.

Good to hear. I can't say I remember him much at Hamilton. I'm still not enamoured with the loan aspect especially if he isn't keen on coming himself.

Me neither tbh. But I think he would certainly do a job for us.

[AdidasHibernian]

A loan is a terrible idea for us, for the simple fact if he goes and does well, then Der Hun will most likely sign him and no doubt he will be a success there and guaranteed to have his best games against us probably.
If he goes and doesn't do well, then he comes back having the fans on his back most likely for playing for that shower anyway and also means most likely nobody will want him for a decent sum.
He could of course come back here and be amazing like his first stint. However that seems very unlikely given his current form in my opinion.

To be honest though I wouldn't be too fussed if he left, but only if the value is met and the funds are paid so it helps us bring in McNulty, or Nisbet or even Stewart from County.

If anyone asks me on Saturday if my name is Joe, I won’t be happy.

Hahaha I’ll be waiting for it too

Very droll, sir. :top marks

[Captain Trips]

Not if theres an obligation to buy

So whats the point in a loan then if irrespective of how he does they need to buy him? If "obligation" to buy him then they are effectively buying him as soon as loan starts surely first refusal but not obliged?

[Paisley Hibby]

If Kamberi heads West on loan and he doesn’t impress then he’ll get very little game time and his value will drop.

I think Kamberi would do very well in the Rangers team - in a similar way to how Lennon is doing much better as Celtic manager than he did with us. As a player doing well at Rangers he'll be worth a lot more than he is as a Hibs Player and we could benefit from that - regardless of who buys him. Meanwhile, if he has said he wants to go to Rangers then he better hope this comes off as he'll have burnt his boats with the Hibs support.

We had Daz at his peak then and Gray was outstanding. Our defence is fragile and Hanlon and Jackson are poor with a St Mirren player about to come in as right back and Lewis having the poorest season in a hibs too since Calderwood was manager. We need a Bartley or a Milligan, the defence isn’t good enough to cope imo.

This completely. The 'solid' DM role is a bit of a myth.

[The 90+2]

What are you on about?

It’s a transfer thread. End of discussion. 👍

[The 90+2]

This completely. The 'solid' DM role is a bit of a myth.

It isn’t when the defence isn’t solid. As seen previously crumbling numerous times every month since the summer.

How on earth can everyone be saying we need a defensive midfielder now all of a sudden it’s a myth?

My brother is called Joe. He is a radge.

[BILLYHIBS]

McGinn imminent apparently

That’s just wrong.

[Real Emerald]

Well it’s now transfer deadline day 😊🤞

[Greencore]

McGinn imminent apparently

I think this is fairly expected now

[we are hibs]

This completely. The 'solid' DM role is a bit of a myth.

We need a player who is good on the ball and can sit deeper and dictate play. But we also need players in there who can handle themselves if a game turns scrappy. We currently dont have that. The dream would be a player who does both but its really difficult to do so in our budget. We had McGeouch who sat and dictated but had Bartley there for certain games where his qualities came to the fore more than if we were playing Hamilton or the likes. One way or another hibs need to find a way to stop teams walking through our midfield so easily, whether thats by keeping the ball or breaking up play. At the minute its bringing a ridicuous amount of pressure on the defence which they struggle to cope with at times.

Midfielders that defend. It’s not that tricky. We’ve had almost nobody that will track runners this season which means CHs get pulled out to cover and leave gaps. Doesn’t matter how good the defence is they allways need midfielders to fight to get the ball back. That’s the myth. Not just putting a DM in front that doesn’t move.

[Keyser Sauzee]

That’s just wrong.

Is the 4 you eluded to in an earlier post McNulty, McGeady, McGinn and Docherty?? If so there’s too many Mc’s involved, not happy with that.

Good point.

Doesn’t sit right with me that either. Wonder if it means Mcgregor could be away?
