Winter 2019-20 transfer thread

[Since452]

The two lads that are coming (McGinn and McNulty) are desperate to play for us so for that reason they'll get my full backing. Same with Omeonga and Bogdan. I want hungry players fighting for the badge and I can see what Ross is trying to do

[Centre Hawf]

What I like about McNulty is he wants to be here and is pushing for a move. I'd rather that than Kamberi who seems to be the exact opposite

Depends on situations though. If someone is hungry to make it as far as they can in the game and is playing for bigger moves then that’s good for us as we get a performing player and a sellable asset.

If someone just wants to be at us because they’re nearer family and its an easier life then they could easily just get comfy and lose that hunger, lose form, and we’ll never make a penny off them.

It’s not a guarantee that people who want to be here will be good players for us. As a club we should always want better, and the players we have should want better too.

[Hibeesmad]

Shrewsbury are also in for Docherty.

Middleton also linked with Shrewsbury on loan.

[The Modfather]

Folk are getting a bit carried away regarding Nisbet. Dennis Wyness, Nicky Clark, Gavin Reilly.... all these guys had a prolific season at that level and then did nothing in the top league.

He’d be a punt and not one that we really need to take IMO. Would much rather get McNulty and Docherty in

These are my thoughts too, although it is the kind of signing I’d like us to be making more off. Young player on the way up. He’s ready for a step up, and playing with better players can only help him but could easily be too big a jump for him.

Watched his highlights reel a few posts up and lots of excellent finishes in there, but also a lot of pub league defending. I think he’s an expensive gamble going by some of the figures being banded about, but would prefer that to a journeymen passing through who is here just to pick up a wage.

There's always a balance isn't there. Certainly players who really want to be here are a better bet than journeymen pros who just want out of their existing club because they're not getting a game or they don't like the manager.

[Jim44]

This McGeady joke is tiresome.

Now you know what it’s like.:greengrin

[Hibeesmad]

Rangers now being linked with Vydra from Burnley. STV saying that he is their preferred choice over Kamberi.

[Lago]

A lot of that post shows a distinct hint of "stuck in a Turnbulls Tornadoes timewarp" mentality unfortunately.

You could be right & I wonder why that is? I'm of that era & what I've seen subsequently merely confirms that I was fortunate 👍

[Smartie]

Hearts sign that Langer boy

Looks like Stendel is trying to create a bunker mentality over the road.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Rangers now being linked with Vydra from Burnley. STV saying that he is their preferred choice over Kamberi.

Now that they aren't getting what they want because the big mean hibees won't do as they're told "we never wanted Flo anyway!"

[CapitalGreen]

Clark’s highest league goals in the Championship was 15 in 30 games.
Reilly’s highest league goals in the Championship was 13 in 32 games.
McNulty’s highest league goals in the Championship was 17 in 35 games.

Nisbet is currently on 17 goals in 22 games.

[Joe6-2]

Course he is

[Centre Hawf]

Definitely. I’m not lumbering McNulty into that bracket at all but it’s not a guaranteed that people wanting to be at the club means it’ll work out while there’s nothing wrong with a bit career ambition from players who want to be here 2/3 years and move

[mjhibby]

Rangers have made an enquiry and unless we get terms that suit and a replacement in it's not happening. Not bothered if Flo is disgruntled. We pay his wages so buckle down and show you deserve to be in the team same as everbody else. Don't know why so many are getting into a lather over it.

[mjhibby]

Course he is

They done their attempted disruption and failed. Next.

KNEW IT - Traynor IS responsible for both the Hun and the Jambos PR !

[worcesterhibby]

Doidge, McNulty and Nisbet, is a definite upgrade on Doidge, Flo and Shaw in my opinion. I very much like the look of Nisbet, he big, strong and scores a variety of goals. I would love to see that threesome vying for starting slots at ER.

[mjhibby]

Herald saying docherty deal is likely. We shall see.

[Greenio]

I'm prepared to lose Flo, not get McNulty or anyone else...


But if Boyle goes. I'm guna be very very pissed off

He's the difference between us doing something this season or not I feel

[Bobby's Cinema]

Still no chat on getting more defenders in............

[Sean1875]

Completely agree, maybe its just becuase of all the McNulty/Kamberi news but all the talk of Boyle leaving has calmed down a lot the last couple days which is giving me hope that he'll be staying. Never know on deadline day though :worried:

[we are hibs]

Docherty didnt train with the huns today

[Barman Stanton]

Still no chat on getting more defenders in............

Paul McGinn?

[Joe6-2]

[TheHibernator]

Confirmed BOYLE IS HEADING TO CARDIFF. Checked my source and this is 100%

Susan, 10 March.

The window will be shut by then

[blackpoolhibs]

I won't shed a tear over losing Kamberi. Not even to the hun.

I'm the same, very good player on his day, but we rarely get to see that day. Lots of flicks and turns that never come off.

He's all fur and no knickers in my opinion, if we can get money in and McNulty as a replacement, i think that makes us stronger.

Just my opinion.

[The Modfather]

Herald saying docherty deal is likely. We shall see.

Did they say if it was loan or permanent? Would have thought if would be unlikely If we won’t loan them Kamberi. Hopefully a permanent transfer.

[mjhibby]

But if Boyle goes. I'm guna be very very pissed off

I'd say Boyle, Newell and Steph look the best part of the team right now plus of course doidge. We could of course get someone else in but unlikely he as good and would take time to settle in our way if playing. Newell seems now to know our way of playing and he looks the biz. If docherty comes in I'd we very excited for the rest of the season from a midfield point of view. Docherty needs to be playing regularly at a good level so whether he would prefer to go down south is irrelevant as he can do a job for us then get a move down south in the summer. He knows he could end up at us. Stranger things have happened. Certainly the most interesting transfer deadline Day for many a year.

:agree: kamberi on his day is almost unplayable....they are few and far between though sadly. McNulty (imho) is an improvement

[mjhibby]

Did they say if it was loan or permanent? Would have thought if would be unlikely If we won’t loan them Kamberi. Hopefully a permanent transfer.

Was part of the Flo deal allegedly. Gerrard trying to entice us to let Flo go. I'm sure Ross will get a deal that suits us. Docherty would be a cracking signing but I'd say it's 50/50. Herald usually pretty accurate with stories. Could he agents of course planting the story. Time will tell.

[mjhibby]

:agree: kamberi on his day is almost unplayable....they are few and far between though sadly. McNulty (imho) is an improvement

A much better conversion rate that's for sure. McNulty and doidge will be a handful for any defence especially once Marc is up to speed. McNulty bought house in Edinburgh so is all set to come. Just need it finalized which is of course the hardest part.

[Jones28]

Herald saying docherty deal is likely. We shall see.

Would be a great signing.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Paul McGinn?
Still leaves us short. Who is the cover at centre half? Two key defenders out for the season we need another body in there IMO.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Still leaves us short. Who is the cover at centre half? Two key defenders out for the season we need another body in there IMO.

Hanlon, Jackson and McGregor are our CH options with McGinn able to cover that position if required. We have Whittaker and James as cover for RB if McGinn is covering CH.

[AlbertK86]

Would be a great signing.

Agree ... but unfortunately can’t see it if stories are true he wants to go south.

However if he comes to us he could really show his worth and have an outside chance of making Scotland squad bearing in mind all the current midfield injuries... see what happened with McNulty last season

We have enough at center back Jackson, Hanlon, mcgregor, Whittaker if need be. We don’t have any left back cover. If Stevenson gets injured we are square peg in a round hole

[Sean1875]

Could go to a back 3 or play Hanlon as LB, but I’d prefer a back 3.

[147lothian]

Hearld now saying that with Haji arriving they have lost interest in Kamberi and that Docherty's likely loan move will be to Shrewsbury no doubt brinksmanship and horse trading is still at work so it won't be until later tonight that a true picture of what gets thrashed out may even be something we never saw coming.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Judging by responses apparently our back line is sorted then good to know :greengrin

[sean04]

Nisbet deal not far off apparently

Of all the speculation going about this is the one that I'm most excited about. I really think the lad has great potential. If we get him hopefully it'll be a long term deal.

[Unseen work]

Nisbet would be a terrific signing imo, much more complete and better fit for us/SPFL thank Shankland imo.

Shankland relies purely on chances, Nisbet is big, strong, quick and can create for himself.

[S4uzee]

#Hibernian have rejected an approach from #RangersFC for a striker Florian #Kamberi. The proposal was a loan with an option to buy however the Edinburgh club do not believe #Rangers have the funds to buy the player in the summer and see no point in parting with the striker. https://t.co/Yaz6kFI5mU


GOOD - I can see virtually zero advantage to Hibs in proceeding with this deal. If they want him then they'll have to get their wallet out and cough up our asking price. Otherwise better to tell the huns to ram it.

[basehibby]

I think he chooses to be inconsistent with us. I don’t think he really wants to be at ER and is sort of working his ticket. I’m cynical enough to think he will hit the ground running at Rangers and the rest will be history. If I was JR, I would be trying to get his head sorted out or, failing that, offer to sell him to Lech Poznan. If he doesn’t want that, tough, earn another move by playing your guts out with us. I would avoid any sort of deal with Rangers, especially one that would be a win win situation for them.

I've watched Kamberi plenty and frankly I think that is a pile of spurious garbage. It's fair to say the goals have dried up a bit for him but at no point have I detected a lack of effort on his part. He plays a risky game trying lots of one touch flicks and stuff - and it doesn't always come off. That apart he has often been played in wider positions whereas his strongest play seems to come through the middle. So - maybe his form has deserted him a bit but "choosing to be inconsistent"??? Nah - gratuitous doom-mongering cobblers is what that is!

[Squealing pig]

I agree with most of wjat u say but not the bit about left or centre. Coming of the left weve had nice assists from him and at least one well taken goal recently that was against Anerdeen. Doidge IMO has better movement and first touch for that central role.

This is from the Dunfermline end(someone who works for the Pars) we're definitely still trying for Nisbit. Our bid hasn't been turned down yet, no mention on amount. Apparently a couple of championship clubs have registered an interest with them and they're waiting to see if they bid for him to try and drive up the price.

I've said a few times that MM reading the line as well as he does and being fed by an in-form Scott Allan could work wonders.

Good post-I have only ever seen him put a shift in and always a huge smile at a goal no matter who scored it. If he is unhappy here I have yet to see any evidence from the pitch. His form this season has been patchy but personally, well I wouldn't swap him for a bag of gold.

Surely if his destination IS Govan then the bus wouldn't be his way of getting there - the Hun/Daily Record are always telling the world that any/all players would 'walk to Ibrox barefoot over hot coals just to play for them' ??


Or did that only apply in the EBT days ??

[Clarence]

Villa nipped in ahead of us unfortunately. Ronnie Rosenthal still a goer I hear.

Classic. Any news on Patrick Kluivert?

Hopefully this is like the Bain to Celtic deal and everything falls into place for Docherty and Nisbet coming here if Flo goes.

Presuming MM comes in as well

Any news on David Platt?

Yeah we missed out on him and signed Gareth Evans instead

[hibbydog]

Kamberi out with Mcnulty and Nisbet in would be good moves

[Vault Boy]

Article mentions Docherty being close to coming our way. Oh yes.

[HFCcammy1875]

Article also states it DOESN'T have an option to buy clause, hopefully he adds a few million to his price tag for when we sell him in the summer

[Hibs4185]

Well he was heading towards St Andrews Square so just presumed he's off to get a bus to Govan

Aye that probably is the Rangers way...make the players get the megabus through to sign

[JeMeSouviens]

Kamberi out with Mcnulty and Nisbet in would be good moves

I think you're right but I liked Flo and it will still be sickening to see him in Sevco blue. :sick:

[Mick O'Rourke]

Unless on this day we sign players of the quality or better than Flo.
We should not be dealing with sevco whatsoever.
Sticks in my craw we even entertain that mob.
The last Flo they signed was Tore andre Flo
He did well !!!
I want Flo Kamberi to stay with us.

[SHODAN]

They need Kamberi and we need Docherty. Happy to do a loan swap with them if it's in both our interests to keep up our end of the deal.

[Tyler Durden]

Clark’s highest league goals in the Championship was 15 in 30 games.
Reilly’s highest league goals in the Championship was 13 in 32 games.
McNulty’s highest league goals in the Championship was 17 in 35 games.

Nisbet is currently on 17 goals in 22 games.

Consider me well and truly clamped! Helpful context.

[hibbydog]

I think you're right but I liked Flo and it will still be sickening to see him in Sevco blue. :sick:

True for the 2018 Kamberi.

But I’d think it funny to see him huffing and puffing and looking disinterested in a Sevco shirt.

[NC1875]

Always got the impression Kamberi thought he was better than Hibs. Rather have guys that want to be here.

He’ll go to Ibrox and get splinters in his arse and I hope he never plays for us again if that’s what he chooses to do.

[Zambernardi1875]

No benefit for us loaning one of our 2 forwards to a team in the same league, can’t see this happening

Agreed. Huns can **** off in any and all circumstances.

Loan with no option to buy? Odd

[Ozyhibby]

I think you're right but I liked Flo and it will still be sickening to see him in Sevco blue. :sick:

Agree, don’t get why everyone is so down on him. He has been a decent signing for us. Had his limitations (Ozyhibby jnr and I have a great laugh at his dreadful first touch[emoji23]) but was still a threat.

He’s on his way to rangers training center

[Smartie]

I can see that there is footballing merit in this deal but I believe that deep down anyone who does business with the huns deserves to get burnt as they’re not the most trustworthy.

Hibs have given them a helping hand out of their striker crisis but given our keenness to throw them Friday night parties at Easter Road, to “move on” quietly from a generation of rule-breaking and come to “5 way agreements” it shouldn’t really be a surprise.

Kamberi is pretty much finished as a Hibs player from here and I’d be surprised if a fat, half fit loan signing for 6 months will be significantly more committed.

If we bolster up front I might be prepared to accept this (such as securing Nesbitt) but I don’t see this being beneficial for Hibs.

[thegaffer12]

Grateful to Flo for making the second half of 2017/18 so entertaining, but not feeling heartbroken at this move.

[Since452]

Hopefully the huns are covering his wage.

Course there is, if we bring in replacements and the manager doesn’t want him in his plans, player doesn’t want to be here, no offer suitable for a club to buy him, he goes on loan there he’s their problem and can’t play against us so can only benefit us.

He doesn’t want to be at Hibs he needs to go, what the best circumstances of that available to Hibs I will trust the club.

. You imagine GD doesn’t want to be at Hibs because Hibs and Newco aren’t pals but we must wait and hear what Flo has to say?

Really. If we benefit from Flo leaving and it makes us better then I’m more than happy.

If he does sign for them on loan I don’t want him back.

I'd rather Hibs got money for selling Kamberi. Wish he'd gone to Poland and we'd used the money to buy Nisbet. Can only hope he does well at the huns (yuck) and someone activates his 2 million release clause. Like somebody else posted, he'll probably try a bit harder now

When Defo is back fit, what choice striker do you think Flo will be?

[Vault Boy]

If Docherty doesn't want to be at Hibs, he won't be. He can't be forced to join us.

He's a cracking player who is proven in this league. I'm all for us signing players who improve us, couldn't care less who they support.

Flo has been a decent player for us and has a lot of talent, if he's away, I'll thank him for his efforts and then get back to focusing on Hibs.

True that.

I have no doubt Docherty would be brilliant for us and would compliment the rest of our midfield well.

He is what I think everyone expected Vela to be - Bags of energy, bit of bite about him, will get around the pitch and chip in with goals.

Was a stand out at Hamilton and Shrewsbury

Kamberi was like a man down playing out there, he was meant to be an inside forward but didn't look like it and for a guy who started as a left winger he looked lost at times. Nisbet and Gullen play off the left, plus the modern forward doesn't have a proper position as such, they play across the front line, left, centre and right. Boyle generally starts games on the right but has scored a fair few through the middle.

[Captain Trips]

Yes

[Hibby Bairn]

Tam McManus saying we can’t afford Nisbet. He’s usually pretty spot on with hibs information from memory

This is Dunfermline we are talking about. Who are not exactly in great financial health. A reasonable fee with add ons a la McGinn would suit all I suspect. If he does well at higher level then bigger clubs will come looking which will trigger further cash to DAFC down the line.

Hibs wouldn't loan them flo unless we are getting a decent deal. Wages covered plus a loan fee which allows us to up our bid for nisbet is what im hoping for.

Its looking increasingly like we are going to go into the second half of the season with the midfield we have unless doherty is included as a loan deal. Quite disapointed if we dont get another midfielder in.

Hit the nail on the head with cheap punts, and sometimes it's like they'll sign players just for the sake of it, look at Jack Hendry, Celtic bought him, he's not really done anything and 2 years later he's off to Australia on loan
