Summer 2020-21 transfer thread

[Hibee Mac]

I'm not sure if he has proven he has bags of ability. He looked decent in a few performances, a game against Dundee springs to mind but other than that I don't think he's showed anything near enough to say he has bags of ability.

[mentalhibee]

Season ticket sales north of 10k, and an unexpected uplift in HSL donations, and not a squeak about new players beyond the latest rumour about another ex-player possibly returning (Agyepong) who in his first spell was notable for being injury-prone.

Can our recruitment team not do any better than this?

Ron Gordon said in his much-heralded recent interview that "we're still a football club that needs to compete".

Time to back your words up with some action, Ron.

Agree!!!

[The 90+2]

Get big Tam in for the ****s. Won’t be on anything like a decent wedge.

I thought he was better than Barker tbh.

[Smartie]

If he comes in, plays every game, scores 40 goals in the season and scores a hat trick against Hearts in the cup before teabagging Robbie Nielson in front of a jubilant West stand, do I get to dredge this post back up again? :greengrin

The boy clearly has bags of ability but I'd want to know he'd had corrective surgery in the last twelve months to know that his issues with injury aren't going to come back again and again.

Nothing would make me happier. :greengrin

Except maybe if he did all of the above but skipped the teabagging part.

Good player. I just don't think he has what it takes to play enough games to make a meaningful contribution. Sometimes you just get players whose hamstrings can't cope with what the player wants to do, and I think he's one.

[Lago]

I thought he was better than Barker tbh.
Not much of a contest though is it?

[PH91]

Unless he’s on a pay per play deal to negate the risk a little?

Even on a deal like that it we would have to budget for him being fit and so any money 'saved' wouldn't be available for other wages.

Hibs shouldn't be going anywhere near him given the circumstances.

[The 90+2]

While true Barker was alright when he could be arsed which was hardly ever at all.

[Gmack7]

With money being in short supply we cannot be signing squad players, I'd be looking for 2 or 3 players to go straight in the 1st 11

[CockneyRebel]

And just like they we have a rumour!

https://www.edinburghlive.co.uk/sport/football/hibs-transfer-agyepong-manchester-city-18551394

Sources in Ghana saying we’re back in for Aygepong.

I think he could be really good, very fast and skilful but always seems to be injured.


Further down on that link - Junior Agogo has passed away following a stroke quite some time ago.

[CockneyRebel]

How long was Agyepong on the treatment table last season?
Seems a strange one and don't really think this story has much legs but at least it's something to debate 😂




Neither does the player, unfortunately. :greengrin

[Heisenberg]

Journalist that works for the capital city press says there’s nothing in the Agyepong rumour.

[04Sauzee]

Alan Temple tweets

Day off work, but will dip in briefly to nip a silly one in the bud: absolutely nothing in Thomas Agyepong being linked with a return to Hibs.

[04Sauzee]

Alan Temple also tweets

Fair to say you can expect Drey Wright to be the first summer signing. Beyond that, Hibs, annoyingly, are decent at keeping their cards reasonably close to their chests. They are still *big* admirers of Nisbet but price is a big factor there.

[erin go bragh]

I thought he was better than Barker tbh.
Not a chance . Barker did a lot more for us than Thomas did . Not even close imo .

[hibs#1]

Maybe the manager is fairly confident he can get a better tune out the current compared to Heckingbottom, he definitely improved them in short time he had previous to lock down.

[B.H.F.C]

Definitely improved us but we were still inconsistent at best. And the squad is weaker than it was then.

[H18S NX]

I can honestly swear to you,i did not even know we had Agyepong at Hibs,mind you am an auld yin.

[Unseen work]

I think we will get Nisbet.

Hopefully the others we bring in are of a similar quality.

[GreenCastle]

Alan Temple tweets

Agyepong does have one thing we need - speed.

When he played well he was good but he was just injured too often and his last loan he was often injured too.

Fast players often get hamstring injuries and the poor guy has had a few.

He was a good guy - had a class song and could be a decent option if cheap but we need consistent performers.

We need a CDM !!!

[Franck Stanton]

Given the financial constraints we currently operate under, would be happy with the squad we have with the addition of Wright, Gogic & Nisbet. Two of the additions would not require transfer fees, & Nisbet, imo, is an investment as if he performs as well in the premier league, will make us big bucks.

[CMurdoch]

Agyepong only managed to start 5 times last season whilst on a season long loan in Belgium and his team were relegated
No way Hibs recruitment team would go for him. Would also have to buy a new treatment table as David Gray has worn the old one out.

[supermcginn]

While true Barker was alright when he could be arsed which was hardly ever at all.

Not even close to being true.

[The 90+2]

Not even close to being true.

Alright then he was amazing then 👍

[The 90+2]

Not a chance . Barker did a lot more for us than Thomas did . Not even close imo .

He did indeed but TA was injured more. Only an opinion that matters little anyway as neither will likely ever be back.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Struggling to remember any meaningful contribution from Tam A.

Not a player to take us to where we want to go. Agree with previous poster ie lets not waste time signing more squad players - we need better than what we have already I don't put him in that category.

[04Sauzee]

Think the Agyepong rumour had been put to bed, don't think we will be signing Barker so not sure why we are comparing the 2 😁

Hopefully hear some news in the next few days.

[hibs#1]

Definitely improved us but we were still inconsistent at best. And the squad is weaker than it was then.

True, perhaps likes the look of some of the younger guys also, personally still reckon we will sign 3-4 players anyway. Whether they will be in before the 1st of August is debatable.

[tonyrougier123]

Agyepong would be a huge gamble in terms of availability.I dont think he is what we should Be looking at,pulls up every time he's on the pitch,even worse than barker in that respect.

Unless the cost is minimal we should be avoiding players that simply dont play games wherever they play.

Look at how solid boyle is for a winger,riding challenges and putting himself about,these boys are far too flimsy to make a decent impact on the regular.

We should be at the table with boyle discussing a new 2-4 year deal,as nothing has transpired offer wise.and we know he can play well and often.

[erin go bragh]

Mickey Mallon confirmed as Utd manager on a two year deal . Could be a nice bit of Buisness from them .
Didn't know it was Mallon that signed Vardy for £150k for his non league team . Certainly a step up from Neilson .imo .

[Unseen work]

Just had a text off a mate saying supposedly we’re interested in Jonathan Afolabi on Loan from Celtic.

Young striker that can play off the left, think they’ve high hopes for him.

Unsure how true it is but thought I’d share, anyone heard similar?

[Smartie]

Do we not still have Tim Clancy’s treatment table in a cupboard somewhere?


He’s probably still on it.

The more I think about it, the more I think they’d be 3 cracking signings.

They are types of player we need. They’ve done well at smaller clubs and deserve a chance to see if they can raise their game.

3 solid signings like that deal with obvious deficiencies and we can supplement them with some younger players getting a chance to fill the squad.

If we’re around mid table by January, we could do our traditional good business then to push for top 4. We might know about more our medium term financial prospects in January.

That would be a grim window imo. I appreciate these are difficult economic circumstances but everyone’s in the same boat. I’d take gogic i see why we’re after him, nisbet is a prospect but i find drey wright an extremely underwhelming signing. If that’s our only summer additions to replace mcnulty, omeonga, docherty, naismith, bogdan, slivka and whittaker i would be very concerned.

Lets not forget this is Hibs we’re talking about. Without having delusions of grandeur, we’re better than that.

[B.H.F.C]

We ain’t getting that. Most teams will have a smaller squad this year and young players will get a chance. We’ll be the same. I think we’ll get about four. They need to be first name on the team sheet tho signings, not squad fillers.

Without knowing if any players will be sold or moved on its difficult to say if we will get 4 or 7 players in, id imagine we may do some wheeling and dealing to try and ballance the squad.

[neil7908]

I wouldn't want 7 players unless we see a lot of departures.

We need 3 real quality players to come straight into the starting XI. The rest of the squad can be supplemented with younger players.

[B.H.F.C]

Would agree with that. If we’re talking about squad size though, I think it’ll only be three or four bigger than it is now.

We won’t sign a defender unless we move one on IMO. We’ll sign a midfielder. We are signing a wide player. We’ll move Kamberi on and sign a striker. Not convinced we’ll sign another beyond that. Possibly a back up goalie.

[Unseen work]

Although we have a lot of defenders on paper

Gray
Mcgregor
Porteous

Are all injury prone and were unsure how they’ll recover which leaves us with

McGinn
James - likely time be moved on
Jackson
Hanlon
Stevenson
Mackie

Which isn’t the best, if everyone is fit then brilliant but it’s not been that way for a while. It’s a bit of a mess imo with unbalanced we are and having older players on long term contracts. I imagine this also adds to wanting Gogic as he can cover at the back.

Also worth noticing Ben Stirling has been promoted to the first team on the official website, could this be his year? Got to say I would class him as a centre mid personally.

[Robbo6-2]

Ben Sterling impressed in some of the pre season games last year but I was surprised he couldn't really get a game for Arbroath last year.

Folk are saying Mackie not good enough but he played most games for Dundee when fit.

Agree with some of the points you make but the problem we have is that they’re all contracted. Not sure we can give out more contracts to defenders without any of those moving on. James is the obvious one but is he going to get a better deal than the two years he has left with us?

Not sure about Stirling. 22 next month and never really threatened to break in to the team so unlikely I think.

[1875STEVE]

I think we will get 3, maybe 4 and the squad will be bulked up with youths.

If your 22 and can’t get a game for Arbroath then your not ready to play for Hibs.

It still amazes me that our recruitment team thought Tom James was worth a 3 year deal.

What were they thinking? Lots of chat last season from Graeme Mathie about wanting to get players on long term deals, you've got to get it right though and not just hand them out to everyone you sign.

Now puts us in a worse position relative to some other sides during this pandemic as we are stuck paying more wages with potentially less opportunity to snap up bargains that may arise between now and season starting.

Tom James 3 year contract is probably our worst piece of business for years.

Slow, ponderous, poor technically and defensively.

Could tell right away he was never gonna be good enough.

[bingo70]

Loan system has worked well for us from Celtic in recent years.

Let’s face it, there’s a pretty good chance this guy won’t make it at Celtic, very few players do. If he comes to us and does well we’d probably have a decent chance of either extending his loan or signing him when he leaves Celtic.

If Shanley is better than him he’ll need to prove it in training and take any chance he’s given.

[Clarence]

The circus across the road has been a bit of a distraction up until now but it is imperative that we strengthen otherwise we will struggle to find consistency. I personally hope we also give youth a chance but we need some good pros to come in and do a decent job for us. I thought Milligan did a decent job when he came in and I wouldn’t mind a similar signing to steady the ship and allow out better players to perform around him.

[MacGruber]

We badly need about 7 players

Until the current squad are sorted out with wage deferrals/cuts situation we aren't going to be bringing in new faces.

Also, until it is sorted out we aren't going to know who is staying so hard to know what we'll need.

Really need to get to agreements one way or another. Take the cut or best wishes for the future.

[Col2]

You can see logic in the following:-

Kamberi sold - last year in contract and his comments - we get £150k
Boyle sold - last year in contract and we get up to £1m.
James - moves on - a free if he can secure move

Gogic - the defensive steel we have been missing and knows the league and would be a fans favorite
Nisbet - replaces Kamberi and we say spend £200k, plenty of potential.
Wright - replaces Boyle and has a chance to make a big mark. But we will miss Boyle consistency and goals and his ability to play upfront.

So we are up financially and while Boyle is a huge loss we will have improved elsewhere. With Gullen given his chance and the squad supplemented by more younger players to keep numbers tight then we would be good to go.

[B.H.F.C]

Best wishes for the future might not work if they don’t have someone else willing to match the contract they have here. Which will be the case for most of them IMO.

He's not. His technical ability is good and he is comfortable on either foot. He cannot or will not tackle an opponent which is his biggest downfall.
McGinn and Gray will play ahead of him, so unless he can offer anything in midfield he would be not be making it into the side as a defender.

[Since452]

I thought he was alright before his injury. Scored a peach against someone. Was put back in when he clearly wasn't ready and was hung out to dry. Must have destroyed his confidence and you could see it. Actually felt sorry for him. Personally feel he hasn't had a good crack of the whip yet. Look how long it took Doidge and Newell to settle. Dury still out for me and willing to give the boy a chance.

Agree with you on his technical ability, think he is very good in that respect. More than comfortable on either foot and can spray passes at ease, also makes very intelligent passes and has a good strike as he showed pre season.

But when we signed him I thought we were getting a high energy, technically good full back that would contribute a lot of assists and goals. Unfortunately it turns out he’s the opposite and is so lacklustre it’s frightening.

Hes poor defensively and never gets proper tight to his man or puts in a challenge.

He is still young and has potential but he would have to up his energy massively to turn it around for us.

[Not In The Know]

I’d be interested to see him in that position actually

There are always the odd exceptions but over my years watching Hibs if a young development player us not in the first team squad/playing by age 19/20 they dont make it at Hibs.

25 days until our first league game and we appear to be a lot weaker than last season. A lot of work needs done over the next 3 weeks. I would think that there is likely to only be 1 or 2 pre season games v teams in our own league. It’s going to be a weird start.

Porto also needs to get in the gym and build up his legs. For being a big guy there is very little on his legs, it’s no coincidence he has had bad knee injuries.

Compare them to Hallberg, Daz, Boyle and the rest and his look to have next to no muscle.

[JimBHibees]

He went to a Belgian team

Was he also not at Killie for a very short time?

I think he's looked good technically but got torn a new one when up against tricky or fast wide players. Which is terminal for a fullback.

On the balance if he could find a new club I think it would be best for all parties but if he stays I would like to see him being used in a more central area in friendlies.

While I do have sympathy for most of our youngsters when they don’t make it as I don’t feel we give them a fair chance, often any chance at all. I also think we need to be a lot more ruthless and not hang on to players who are yet to make the breakthrough into their 20s.

[Gypsy King]

Gogic would give us the steel in the middle we haven't had since Bartley. The fact he has remained a free agent for this long amazes me - I hope its because there has been a deal done with hibs in good faith to sign him nce wage deferrals/cuts have been sor ted.

Don’t think we can wait much longer on these deferrals being sorted. If they haven’t been sorted by now then it’s unlikely they will be. We need to get on and start preparing for the new season. We don’t have a squad capable of top 6 just now, never mind a Euro spot.

[ian cruise]

Think we are short a couple of positions but in the main I'm happy to give the youth players a go this season. We constantly hear folk comparing our youth development ahd ability to produce gems to Motherwell, Hamilton etc. but those clubs were playing youth players out of necessity not because they were world beaters from a young age. They became better players with extended first team experience, similarly to the scenario with our own golden generation. So for me let's give Sterling, both Murrays, Gullane, Mackie and Doig the opportunity in the first team and let's see if Ross and the coaches can mould them in to the sort of players we need.

[04Sauzee]

Gogic looks like some sort of MMA nutter you would see in something like Fight Club, absolutely perfect for what we need.

[Unseen work]

Daz and Boyle maybe no the best example when it comes to knee injuries.

You’re right I don’t think I could have picked worse people :greengrin The point still stands though, you’d quads and the muscles surrounding same are important in protecting and stabilising your knee. For the size and type of player he is he needs that strength and stability in his knee.

I’m sure the issue with him was his knee was popping out of place too? Even more of a reason to really build up his muscles, you would think he would be hammering squats etc with the break we’ve had and with him doing rehab.

That RAT should be nowhere near east mains, and should not be wearing our colours . GHTF.

[brog]

Was it not the case that Stirling was getting a game to start with, but then he played for our reserves and the Arbroath manager had a flakey about it?

I think it was more about which position he should be played but essentially you're correct. He then went to Alloa, only played twice but was MOTM & laid on a goal in the 2nd. He can play pretty much anywhere across the back & also in midfield. He's also a big lad. Given current circumstances I think it's perfectly reasonable for him to be in 1st team squad.

I thought he was signed & an announcement would be made in the future?

I see it further back on the thread. I wouldn’t read too much into him not being seen training with the first team to be honest.

[04Sauzee]

Looks like Motherwell could be closing in on Callum Lang

Wigan. TWO player moves in a hurry. Brighton ahead in Weir chase. Motherwell and Lang got a chance. Raise some money. And shouldn’t really harm team in short term.

[Fergus52]

Don’t think we can wait much longer on these deferrals being sorted. If they haven’t been sorted by now then it’s unlikely they will be. We need to get on and start preparing for the new season. We don’t have a squad capable of top 6 just now, never mind a Euro spot.

All players should be striving to have their manager, team-mates and supporters on side and behave accordingly. Respect should reciprocal. Has Hunberi shown any contrition for his totally disrespectful remarks? Not that I have seen. Maybe he has done so in private but then you'd expect that to leak out in some way. Had he shown contrition and been fully accepted back in the fold at East Mains then smile and joke away. If not, then he is even more of a disrespecting weasel who we need shot of pronto. Weasels don't change their spots. Once a weasel always a weasel, even if you score a hat trick behind closed doors. Weasels out. (Cue complaints from the Weasel Appreciation Society.)

Permanent deal is best for Hibs given Kamberi is likely to spend his loan on the Rangers bench thus diminishing his value whereas Docherty would be playing and impressing thus enhancing his value. According to transfer market website both players have 2 years remaining on their contracts. I thought Kamberi only had a year left but could be wrong.

My only slight worry about this is if it does go ahead is Rangers could essentially sign Kamberi for free at the end of the season and still have Docherty on another year of his contract and we’d be left with neither player. Id rather we could sell Kamberi and get Docherty on loan but we’ll need to see.

Hope Hibs knock back the offer of player exchange as a loan.

Kamberi goes to Rangers for a year, after which he will be out of contract and they or another club will get him for free.

Docherty comes here for a year, after which he will still have a year left on his contract. I imagine he will perform well and have other interested parties meaning Rangers can sell him for money.

Permanent transfers or nothing.

[04Sauzee]

I thiught we'd sell Kamberi and sign Nisbet with the money we received, plus Nisbet I think would cost less on wages. This would put a spanner in that theory 😅

[chippy]

Yes please. Although both on permanent deals would be even better.

An initial loan might suit Hibs and Docherty as he’d have no wage cut if still on Rangers books. Why not just make the loan for 2 years if both have 2 years left?

[Garibaldis]

Kamberi and Docherty are probably at a similar value. A straight swap would work for all parties if both are interested.

[Vault Boy]

Depends. If we were only going to get something like 100k for Kamberi anyway would Doherty be worth that for us for a year? Never mind the contract situation at the end of the year, we get a player playing for us for a year as well who made a good impact last year and should get better.

The longer a player is here the more chance he might see a long term future here too.

[sean04]

Dochertys wages are to high for hibs to offer a permanent deal. Prob on 6/7k a week at rangers and still has 2 years left on his deal

Bare in mind Docherty was a young player from Hamilton, I’d be surprised if he was on 7k a week.

[Stuart93]

Yep like others are saying permanent swap only.

No point loaning him now when he’s available for free at the end of the season & GD will still have a year left on his deal.

We’d be left with neither at the end when we could’ve made ourself some much needed cash for FK

The longer a player is here the more chance he might see a long term future here to.

But the 100-200k we get from Kamberi could be key in us getting Nisbet. Gerrard clearly doesn’t want Docherty, he tries to punt him out on loan at every opportunity.

He might see his long term future here but then after this loan he might think 1.5 years at hibs is enough, I want another crack at England and go for more money.

A lot to consider.

They can sign him for free in January, only requires a player to be in last 6 months of contract.

[badabing67]

Not sure where everyone is getting there valuation for Flo at around the 150k mark, he has to have a market value around the same as Boyler imo. I agree they're different types of player. However they are both established 1st team players who have both gained international recognition while representing our club. We had a £250k + £150k add on's bid in January rejected for Kevin Nisbet. I'm sure we went back with an improved offer before the deadline but I can't find any articles to back this up. The point being it would probably take that plus to land Nisbet in this window. Yet Nisbet has nowhere near the same experience as Flo and is completely unproven at this level. Yet it appears he is valued higher. So why would Rangers not be interested in Nisbet if he is a better player than Flo. When was the last time Rangers signed a striker worth £100k. I think everyone on here is selling Flo short.

The point being it would probably take that plus to land Nisbet in this window. Yet Nisbet has nowhere near the same experience as Flo and is completely unproven at this level. Yet it appears he is valued higher. So why would Rangers not be interested in Nisbet if he is a better player than Flo. When was the last time Rangers signed a striker worth £100k. I think everyone on here is selling Flo short.

Boyle is a solid pro and a good character that a few clubs may be wanting, Flo on the other hand isn't great in the dressing room and has been bother with coaches in the past. I'd be delighted to get our money back and move on.

If Der Hun really want Flo, then make them pay a fair price.

£100k just doesn't cut it.

If it was a straight swap there wouldn’t be any need for money to change hands. Kamberi doesn’t have a greater value than Docherty IMO.

I think the real stumbling block to any permanent deal would be how much Docherty would want to come here. He’d be giving up a bigger contract and leaving his boyhood club (even if he is extremely unlikely to get a game).

[Heisenberg]

It seems Flo only wants a permanent move anyway.

“Understand Flo Kamberi remains keen on move to Rangers - but only on permanent deal. Another temporary swap with Greg Docherty has been suggested to Hibs but FK not interested in another loan. Rangers his preferred destination but also has options in England, Switzerland & Poland“

[Tug Wilson]

I reckon that there is a lot going on in the background on this one.

Kamberi wants to go to Rangers. Apparently they want him.

If Docherty wants to come here then he knows what we are about.

Seems to be some disagreement over who has the higher wage.

If it is Kamberi then it seems simple to do a permanent swap. We can offer Docherty a decent wage.

If it is Docherty then things get complicated. However, I reckon that Hibs could structure something that would suit all parties. They have done before.

Docherty would be an excellent addition to the Hibs squad. A midfield 3 of Gogic, Docherty and Allan might be very interesting.

[Aldo]

They can sign him for free in January, only requires a player to be in last 6 months of contract.

They can sign him on a pre contract in Jan but won’t get him for free. If they want him to play in Jan then they will have to agree a fee

Straight swap Kamberi for Docherty and if the huns are a bit sticky because of Docherty having the the extra year just offer them a sell on %.

Easy as that 😁 think I might become a Director of Football sometime.

[Hibs90]

Any deals have to be permanent.

It's the only deal that would suit Hibs. Offer the huns a sell on percentage as part of Dochertys contract or some sort of buy back clause whereby in a couple of years they can buy him back.

Straight swap
Kamberi signs 2 or 3 year deal
Docherty signs 4 year deal with 2 million buy back fee for them which is only active after 1 year. We get a fee that we obviously wanted/planned for for Kamberi albeit in a roundabout way. No financial loss for Hibs. Rangers get their player and Docherty if they want him back after 2 years. Whether they would go for something like this who knows.

The problem is that they are not showing signs that they really want him.

If they punt Morelos they might be more keen.

Wonder where they are going...

Jambos seem to think they have signed Nisbet, for £600k....

Kilmarnock sign Mitch Pinnock

Mitch Pinnock signs for Kilmarnock . 25 year old winger . Can’t say I’ve ever heard of him .

[04Sauzee]

If they have they have paid well over the odds for someone in the last year of his contract and could sign a pre contract in January

600k would be ridiculous money for him.

[Brightside]

I hope they have bought him. 600k is mental.

[Lee Marvin]

There is literally no chance that is true. The fact a large proportion over the road lap it up provides yet another insight to the levels of delusion they possess

[04Sauzee]

Jack Fitzwater who was in Edinburgh has signed for Livingston 😁 so there was some truth in it

Livingston also sign Matej Poplatnik

He was out of contract at Yeovil

According to the BBC report at the time there was an undisclosed fee:

Hopefully Kamberi is away soon. Given the way Ross spoke yesterday, he didn’t really try to be diplomatic about it the way managers normally are, then you’d like to think that they have a fair idea something will be happening soon.

For players coming in, if we’re assuming that isn’t happening until consultation is finished, when is the 30 days up on that?

This is dated 15th June, so should be next week sometime

Hope as many staff as possible retain their jobs

[eastmainsmsh]

West brom and Celtic were interested in Tom James and quoted 1.5 million at one time is that the English transfer market or have we not seen what he can do

If he can play football then we’re yet to see it.

He’s never a full back and if he’s a player at all, it’s not obvious what exactly he is.

Having seen McCulloch coach...he’s useless.

No idea about the other guy.

If they punt Morelos they might be more keen.

I'm not sure what the UEFA rules are for the start up can they only use the players they had registered in January. If that is the case they will need him for the Europa Cup tie

[badabing67]

Would like to see him come back

Would like to see him come back

His knee problems are a bit concerning so I would probably stay clear. Class player when fully fit though.
