Winter 2019-20 transfer thread

[Billy Whizz]

Think he only played about 4 full games, the rest were dribs and drabs

Think Alloa away, when we lost, was the end for him at Hibs

[SHODAN]

I remember Kennedy being good for us.

[JimBHibees]

I remember Kennedy being good for us.

He was excellent in a home game v Falkirk early in Stubbs reign where he put în a string of good crosses but we couldn't score and typically of that time Falkirk scored the winner from a set piece. Older Irish guy was playing up front apologies forgot his name ex Killie ex Doncaster.

Heffernan.

[JimBHibees]

Heffernan.

That's the boy, decent striker but we got him when he was past his best.

[Caversham Green]

No other club seems to have this problem sending loan players back. We really that skint

I think other clubs do have that problem but it doesn't get publicised. Reading certainly had it a few seasons ago with a young guy from Chelsea whose name escapes me and I think it might be what's going on with McNulty.

[MWHIBBIES]

Think Alloa away, when we lost, was the end for him at Hibs

He played 11 of his 15 games after that.

[SquashedFrogg]

Celtic will be punting Griffiths the minute this striker deal concludes

Will they be hoping for an English club to come in for him? Would they loan him to us?

They've got a load of games coming up. I doubt they'll ship Griffiths out. Leaves them very light up front. Unless there are more players coming in?

[TheHibernator]

Cochrane is 'Zico'
Hickey is now apparently Busquets.
I want more. I actually just want folk to keep passing jambos more shovels and tell em to keep digging :hibees

They don't even play the same position hahaha
they're the gift that keeps on giving

[calumhibee1]

Yup. With the league being so tight I can’t see them letting him go unless it would be the difference between getting another body in to replace him or not.

[jacomo]

Maxwell on loan at Hibs for the season.
We want to bring in Bogdan in place of Maxwell.
Only way we can make it happen is if another club take over the Maxwell for the same pro rata loan fee.
If we can't find a suitable club that is willing to take him and he is willing to go to he remains ours for the rest of the season.
I suggested sounding Hearts out given Maxwell is better than all of their 3 keepers and he is already in the area.


Adam Bogdan available last summer and now back at the club but we signed Maxwell on season-long loan which we are now trying to get out of.

Thanks Hecky.

It would leave them with 3 strikers trying to fight for one place

[Crutch]

In didn’t mind Kennedy at Hibs. Thought he was a bit under rated if anything.

That said though, in Hearts circumstances, is an inconsistent winger blowing hot and cold really what they need just now?

For where Hearts are I don’t think he looks like a good fit. Also think going toe to toe with Aberdeen for a player probably isn’t the brightest just now, they may get him but it’ll cost them, probably significantly more than he’s worth.

Good point. Sorry if it's already been mentioned..

Kennedy strikes me as being one of many players (particularly common at St. Johnstone over the past 5/6+ years) that seem to thrive being a (sort of) big fish in a small pond, the go-to man for a low lying Premiership side with less pressure from fans, media etc.

Liam Craig being a prime example. Tony Watt another, sh**e at Hearts and yet somehow found the only decent form of his career at Saints for a few months. Davidson couldn’t get a move. Danny Swanson (albeit quite unlucky at us and made a decent career for himself). Stevie May...

Not writing the guy off - and thought he was okay for us too. But Hearts aren't really in the position to take a gamble like that given their current mess. You'd expect Kennedy to prefer Aberdeen where he'll get a bit more time to find his feet at a bigger club as well.

[SquashedFrogg]

To be fair I have no idea what formation they'll play in their remaining fixtures.

I'm also not sure they'll want to rely on Bayo for a title bid and Europa league games.

If Griffiths leaves I'd guess they'll want more than one striker in during Jan.

Personally I thought Liam Craig was ok with us but unfortunately he was part of a long line of players who were/are subjected to unwarranted abuse from some of our so called fans.

[SquashedFrogg]

I assumed Bogdan left expecting to get a bigger move? Didn't realise we never offered him anything.

Combe reminded bringing Bogdan back, Bogdan was up for coming back - Board wouldn't approve two "first choice" keeper signings...Therefore PH ended up endorsing bringing in a "number 2".

[FilipinoHibs]

Liam Craig was no way personally a big contribution to us going down ....collectively the players - sure ..Butcher and Malpas definitely - but can’t see how anyone could single Craig out. Never hid - even when struggling for form ...

He struggled for form the whole time he was here.[emoji23]
Don’t hold him responsible for us going down. That lies with Petrie, Butcher, Malpas, Thomson and McPake. They were the people who couldn’t put differences aside for the team and were running to the press every two minutes and Petrie was the one who should have stepped in and put a stop to it.
Liam Craig is off the hook for me. Still not very good though.

Liam Craig's contribution to our relegation was to carry out his manager's orders as a good pro should. As he was one of the few who got on with his job and didn't question Butcher he found himself with the captaincy, a role that wasn't all that natural to him at that stage and one that stuck him right in the firing line.

I really feel for Liam Craig when it comes to Hibs. He's had an excellent career and done well when played in his best position but found himself at Hibs at totally the wrong time, surrounded by totally the wrong people.

We should show him a bit of gratitude for the role he played in Stubbs' first season, where a team that was dying on its arse following a quite horrific relegation managed to change into a watchable team that gave us back a bit of pride and a few cracking results and performances along the way, and the foundation upon which our Scottish Cup win was built.

They have a lot more money for scouting networks so can afford to cast their net further and wider than ours

Plus agents are a lot more likely to offer their players to the old firm than to us

[SMAXXA]

Hallberg could be the next

They seem to always get linked with random players we wouldn’t know about but we get players from down south, lazy recruitment, outwith budget maybe just feels a bit *****. It’s the most exciting part of a football fan singing an unknown with a foreign name 😂 half truth

This. It's pretty obvious really. Old firm can also pay more, provide guaranteed European football and offer greater exposure through TV.

I think our foreign recruitment has been better since being relegated

Malonga
Slivka
Kamberi
MacLaren
Omeonga
Marciano
Gunnarson
Hallberg

All players no one would have known anything about and have been decent enough acquisitions.

We don’t have enough money to send scouts to these places to it’s often done on recommendation, scout offering them, watching video footage etc

Transfer ban has been lifted so free to sign anybody I believe.

[Torto7]

Gilmour is a deep lying playmaker or a number 8 so he isn't similar to Allan/Mallan. He's a bit like Jorginho/Fabregas/Modric. I think it's unlikely he comes to us although Mason Mount did have a season at Vitesse who aren't any bigger than we are so you never know. He's a fantastic talent how he would get on with the brute force up here would be a worry but ability wise he's on another level.

Thankfully the club arent as defeatist as this. The standard of player available to us in Scotland/England is in general honking, we can't afford the better younger ones usually and for every Scott Allan you get three who are ordinary to piss poor.

The huns and Celtic are shopping in markets that pay less. Morelos for instance was in Finland. If a Finnish team can scout and pick him up then so can Hibs. If you look at the Belgium/Norwegian league they're full of Africans/South Americans etc. It's just laziness and the usual Scottish parochialism to say otherwise.

Mathie seems to be hinting in his interviews we'll be going down a different path in future.

[calumhibee1]

Absolutely no chance of Gilmour. He’d have his pick of Championship clubs.

To me he still looks very lightweight, I’ve never seen him play so i don’t know if that perception of him is right or not but if it is I think that would put off a lot of clubs in that league.

Certainly plays a very deep playmaker role, if he's anything like the other Chelsea youngsters that have came through this season, then he may be a very exciting loan, don't think it will happen though.

[Robbo6-2]

Gilmour would be a good signing.

I wouldny of thot we could of signed Ryan Gauld last year so maybe not as far fetched as you would think.

[CMurdoch]

His pick of Championship clubs might be stretching it slightly but I’d suspect the majority would take him.

Yeah he's really highly rated, he would be in the top 10 prospects in the world for his age I'd imagine or not far off it. I think you're right about the championship. Chelsea have another youngster at Charlton atm who's tearing it up and Gilmour is considered to be a far superior talent to Gallagher. The championship has changed a lot recently as well, it used to be 10 bouncers and a goalie but now teams play on the deck and have more natural footballers. I could see him interesting Bielsa.

Transfermarkt are known to inflate players prices

[Hibee Mac]

Wadja seems a very plausible January signing, interested to know if it is just an educated guess by the OP or if you have inside info?

Seems to be in a comparable league, played lots in the past but only 5 games this season so is out of favour, looks like a strong presence with a bit of composure about him in the middle of the park which is almost word for word what I would say we lack right now.

Interested!

[theonlywayisup]

Franklin Wadja has played 90 games, a few months short of his 25th birthday, mostly in the French second division with 25 in the French 5th tier.

Compare that with Ollie Shaw who's played 70 games, just before his 22nd birthday, 24 of which were in the Scottish 4th tier and the remainder split between the Scottish 1st and 2nd tiers.

Similar stats, albeit in different positions.

Interesting one!

Seems an identikit of what we need. Physical defensive minded but can play also.

[JimBHibees]

Work permits are part of the problem.

On what basis are these permitted?

[Unseen work]

I would have offered Shaw on loan to St Johnstone for 6 months in exchange for getting Kennedy now. St Johnstone are lacking a striker and the nominal fee they get won’t go very far in getting that, I think Shaw will give a good goals return if given a decent run.

Giving him to County/Kilmarnock could be risky as they’re close to us in the league, I’d imagine we have a quality replacement lined up though.

[Winston Ingram]

He's valued at over £600k

Transfermarkt value 34 yr old Roy O'Donovan at 500k

[hibbyfraelibby]

Thankfully the club arent as defeatist as this. The standard of player available to us in Scotland/England is in general honking, we can't afford the better younger ones usually and for every Scott Allan you get three who are ordinary to piss poor.

The huns and Celtic are shopping in markets that pay less. Morelos for instance was in Finland. If a Finnish team can scout and pick him up then so can Hibs. If you look at the Belgium/Norwegian league they're full of Africans/South Americans etc. It's just laziness and the usual Scottish parochialism to say otherwise.

Mathie seems to be hinting in his interviews we'll be going down a different path in future.

Its more to do with draconian UK visa requirements than laziness.

Wanted but dependent on somebody coming in. Wanted by Killie to. But why would you loan to rivals for top 6?

No wonder.

It’s been obvious since the first ball was kicked this season we needed a defensive midfielder, this game on Sunday is exactly the sort of game we’d need one.

I’m really surprised we didn’t have someone lined up for the start of the window. Imo if we lose on Sunday the club will deserve any criticism it gets.

[Stuart93]

I would probably argue if that scenario pans out it’ll be understandable because we all know we’re light in areas and fans will feel these should’ve been well addressed by now before we played any matches this month

[DetroitHibs]

If we lose in the cup, that's essentially the season over. We should have addressed that glaring obvious lack of steel in the midfield months ago and had players lined up.

[flash]

We are probably after a midfielder who the club think is worth waiting for.

Sounds great, hopefully we can get through the match on Sunday otherwise there’s a fair chance it’ll end up being a relatively pointless signing, for this season anyway, different if it’s a 2 or 3 year deal.

Their defence can definitely be got at.

Don’t dispute that however average players playing with confidence and momentum on their own ground is a difficult game.

I worry we’ve not got the players in midfield to win a scrap if that’s the way the game goes.

[truehibernian]

Totally fair comment.

Biggest game of the season for me

Huge game yes, but trying for 4th is achievable and what we should be striving for regardless. Loads of football to be played and a bit bemused some think 'season over' because it's a cup game. Plenty of football still to be played and enjoyed. I'm just liking the Jack Ross and John Potter effect around the club. Going in the right direction and really enthused to see what type of team he will create after a window or two :aok:

I think we'll beat United with a bit to spare too for what it's worth :agree:

[Unseen work]

For me guys like Kamberi, Allan, Boyle and Horgan will be too much for Dundee United to handle.

Daz, Porto or Hanlon will handle Shankland.

McMullan is a good player who will cause us problems and I like the guy Harkes in the middle too, good ball playing centre mid.

They’re undoubtedly playing really well, but the league is nowhere as strong as when us, Rangers and Hearts were in it.

They’ll come out full of confidence and attacking, we will counter them twice in quick succession giving us the lead.

Boyle and Flo to score.

McMullan has been injured recently, think he missed the Thistle game. He may be fit for the weekend but will have been out for a few weeks.

[MWHIBBIES]

Strange. Its similar to when they tried to compete with us for the league. Everyone was saying their star player (andreu) was who we should've signed, they had the momentum, they were confident. They're still in that league :faf:

But I don’t expect to see that type of performance
It’s a cup game and think we will need a couple of goals to win it by the odd goal But think it could go either way

That's where im at. They'll be up against two Premiership players of the month plus the other guys you mentioned when they're used to defending against Alloa, Arbroath and Ayr. If they turn us over them fair play to them but I think we'll have too much for them.

Worse than you thought. Try 11 points ahead of us with Motherwell a further point ahead of them. Aberdeen are not coming back to us but Motherwell might.

[Del Boy]

McMullan has been injured recently, think he missed the Thistle game. He may be fit for the weekend but will have been out for a few weeks.

Only because its my opinion if we were going to let ine young guy go out on loan we'd maybe be bringing in someone who has scored goals at a higher level tnan league one and championship level. Just my thoughts of course

Wonder if we were to be put out of the cup if that would affect how much business we do in the window. Keep more of the budget back for the long term rebuild starting in the summer. Where as we if we were through to the next round might be more likely to get another body or two we otherwise might not have.

Got to say I’m getting a bit worried now.

I appreciate us taking our time and trying to get the right player in, but that’s not 2 weeks with nothing.

Our already light midfield has took a huge knock with Mallan now our injured for 2 months. Add to that Vela and Newell struggling with injuries.

We need to keep the numbers right in the squad but we need players in now and of real quality who will take us to the next level.

Out
Shaw - County or Kilmarnock
Jackson - Bolton
Maxwell - Return from loan
Innes Murray - Edinburgh City
Gullan - Raith

But who is coming in??

Every name that is mentioned seems to be one post then it’s never mentioned again by them. Mcgeady, Wadja were two of these then Mcgeouch, McLaughlin and McNulty were shut down instantly.

I thought Gullan was playing 1 last game for Raith and before rejoining us. So he'd effectively be in place of Shaw.

If Maxwell goes then Bogdan will get a deal.

Wouldn't think Jackson will go unless we've got someone lined up to come in.

[04Sauzee]

Hibs really do keep things very close to their chests these days, no media leeks know ITK's it was very similar in the summer.

I am confident we are working on deals it's just frustrating there hasn't been anyone in the building yet. With Mallan now out for 2 months hopefully we will see someone in soon.

Think he is playing 1 more game yes however I wouldn’t be surprised if he went back out on loan to another team, maybe in the champsionship.

Hibs really do keep things very close to their chests these days, no media leeks know ITK's it was very similar in the summer.

I am confident we are working on deals it's just frustrating there hasn't been anyone in the building yet. With Mallan now out for 2 months hopefully we will see someone in soon.

Would much rather that than setting yourself up for failure and embarrassment and letting your rivals know who/what you’re targeting

I thought that was last weekend - he came back early from Spain and didn't feature against Willem II.

He was given a one game extension for Raith’s game on Saturday. Back at Hibs now, but could go out again, depending on who we bring in

Harry Bun has signed for Killie and there is talk of them having Kwame Thomas on trial, that would suggest to me that Shaw to Killie on loan would be highly unlikely

Yes you’re right sorry! My heads all over the place with other teams playing since we’ve had a couple of weeks off!

Harry Bun is a good signing for Killie.

Looking at their records, none of them are really goalscorers/poacher types. So they could still be interested in Shaw...

Ross County just signed a DM from Exeter. These players are out there and obviously County’s management think he is capable of being competitive in the Scottish Prem!

That’s the problem though, ours clearly thought Vela etc would come in and do really well and unfortunately it’s not happened.

It’s very difficult/impossible to get all of your recruitment right and is a risk taking most players.

Fwiw if we signed that lad County have signed this place would be in meltdown imo, should be looking for better imo.

Heckingbottom thought the players he signed would have us competing for 3rd. Doesnt always work out how they think.

Bun will be another English player who undoubtedly thinks playing in Scotland will be a piece of cake.

Thats omeonga away to seri b club on loan!!👎👎
Our recruitment couldn't run a piss up in a brewery.

Exactly what we could've done with.

He isn’t though is he?

He was a box-to-box player which is Halbergs preferred role, we need a defensive mid.

I liked Omeonga but ffs get it over it.

I think Omeonga is exactly what we need as well.

I think we need a defensive midfielder but there’s also place for Omeonga and his energy and enthusiasm would be ideal for our midfield just now.

Maybe a bit harsh.

At least wait till after Sunday.

If we go out the cup then I think fans frustrations to the board and lack of investment/ambition etc will be evident.

I’m sure they have their targets but it does seem to take a long time.
