Summer 2020-21 transfer thread

[Springbank]

Heard Hibs are planning to bring in Michael Stewart..etc...
What? Too soon?

[truehibernian]

Maybe need to have a wee look on Oneleagueback to see if Dazzajambo has said he's signing for Hearts. If he has then Gogic is probably at East Mains right now

Apparently the 'Man Utd clause' for Gogic is a stumbling block for Hearts :greengrin:faf:

I don't venture there but was shown a forum post that lad posted months ago claiming that if Donis Avdijaj had a good season then Hearts would have a £20 million player on their hands :faf: that '£20 million player' who feel over his own feet in the box up at Dingwall :greengrin

Forgot about him. Is he still on their books? He was absolutely hopeless. Reminded me of that guy who lied he was a professional footballer and blagged himself a game for Southampton

[SMAXXA]

Isn't he just tweeting what everyone else is talking about?

It was posted on here last night that Nisbet is a was a 4 year deal and he tweeted in minutes later like it was his news. Think it's an OK account fr news and rumours but he's not ITK just posting what's talked about elsewhere

It was on their within 5m of me posting about the 4 year deal

One minute thirty seven in. It’s actually gotten funnier with time.

[madhatter]

Gogic not happening today then I guess...?

[supermcginn]

can't see us signing a left back. I think Doig is on the cusp of breaking in to the team.

If we don't then it's criminal, especially if we are going to play 352. Stevenson is well past his best and we can't rely on a youngster who has never played first team football in the top league.

I wouldn’t call it criminal in the current circumstances. I write that is someone who has thought for some time that a new left back is required.

We need to be realistic about where we are, we can’t improve everything. Youngsters who have never played first team football before will also be a feature of this season for many teams.

[badabing67]

Beginning to think the Hibs TV interview with Drey Wright was done yesterday and put out today. So perhaps there will be double interviews with Nisbet & Gogic coming. Really hope so.

[tamig]

Really?

Which is why I’ve said since the leagues were called the Cup should go too. Total farce.

Substitutes: Martin, Jackson, Stirling, Campbell, Horgan, Shaw, Kamberi, Sadiki, Doig, Trialist

I wonder if it'll be Docherty for Kamberi.

[MacGruber]

I listened in to the Hearts v Hamilton league game at Tynecastle - proverbial 6 pointer. Was delighted when Hamilton scored early then even sweeter added a second soon after. They were going to go on to win that match comfortably. After Hearts got back into the game (not by virtue of any of the 50 odd players on the books amassed through millions of pounds, but by the wind blowing the ball against a 16 year old's arm) it looked like they would turn it round for the 3 points. The biggest reason they never was Gogic. Man of the match for each of the commentators. Head to everything when Hearts had about 40 corners. A 'Collsus' was the term used.

Hopefully get this over the line, have a feeling he will make a massive difference to the team

I get what you are saying but I'm not sure the youngsters will be used as much as people think next year, teams like motherwell and livi are strengthening and both finished above us and our left side is an obvious weakspot.

Are they strengthening? They’re signing players but, like us, will probably have lost more than they brought in. Obviously you could lose 7 or 8 poor players and bring in 4 good players and you’d have a better 11. But nothing to suggest what they have is better than what they’ve lost. Robinson already on record as saying he’ll have a smaller squad this year as well.

Lost their goalie to Newcastle, signed Scott Fox.

Lamie signed to replace Hartley, their captain, who left.

Long and Watt with them last year so retaining them doesn’t strengthen them really.

Hastie could potentially be a good signing. They’ve still lost a number of other players as well so I’m not sure we can say they’ve definitely strengthened.

Good day Hibs.

Players making a step up which I don’t mind as they should be hungry to do well. Also means I’m more cautiously optimistic than anything.

The fact Ross has applied a bit common sense and just signed someone to play in the most problematic position we have, rather than try to do something clever, encourages me.

[Scooter]

Except our 3 new signings are currently cup tied as confirmed by wright in his interview

[500miles]

Gogic will be an interesting signing. Seems a really effective player, but the difference for a defensive mid at Hibs and Hamilton, is that he'll have to be more proactive here, picking the ball up higher up the pitch, and starting moves. It's part of the reason Bartley was in and out of the team.

On small pitches like Tynceastle, or slow running pitches I think he'll be ideal.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Trevor Carson is back as number one he is very decent that's why celtic tried to sign him..they released Hartley and Richard tait and hartley is without a club and they've also signed mark ohara.. Them and Aberdeen will be tough to finish ahead of we need to be tighter at the back.

[Tambo]

Can't complain with those three signings and all on one day.

Anyone expect anymore?

[madhatter]

Hope not.

Defence needs sorted regardless of the numbers we have.

Depends how we line-up because we have a fair number of players that like to play in the centre of midfield. Can't all play and certainly will be difficult to keep them all happy if we are playing 442. Injuries and form will have impact on these decisions. Glad we have more options on the wing now though.

I expect Kamberi, James and potentially Boyle to leave though. Murray and Mackie may leave as well - think this is make it or break it year for both of them either way.

[JammyDoidger]

Would like us to strengthen the defence now, wouldn't be too fussed if any of the defenders left tbh, I'd go for Stephen O'Donnell whos a free agent, he would be a mainstay at right back. The boy Hamaalainen was good for killie too at left back but he's signed a new deal with QPR I read.

[badabing67]

I take it the rest of the squad have resolved/accept pay issue to allow today to happen. I think the guys deserve applause to allow us to strength the team. Feels like unity in the dressing room, suppose they they get a better team to play in. It feels good to be a Hibee today 😁

Carson has just sat on the bench for a whole season. So replacing the guy who played in front of him all year doesn’t strengthen them. O’Hara has come back but wasn’t a regular for them last year either.

Still maintain there is nothing in the business they have done that suggests they have a stronger squad than the one that they finished third with. It might work out for them, might not. As I stay, I’m more challenging the opinion that they’ve definitely strengthened.

Will agree on Aberdeen. If we finish above them, we finish third IMO.

He's not a Hibs fan, he's a weegie Celtic fan. Looking at his twitter account it would appear he has a bit of a soft spot for Hibs but that's mainly linked to old posts mentioning Scott Martin (now at Hamilton) who is one of his good mates. Not that it matters who players support, as long as it's no sevco :greengrin

[machibby]

Hearts fans missing the obvious, saying they would need to be signing better players than Nisbet and Wright if they’re looking to be a top four side. Would have thought they’d have a bit more ambition in the Championship :na na:

Im delighted with Nisbet and Goric. I just hope Wright doesnt mean the end of Boyle. Three signings in one day with one costing 250k is some work by the board and football dep.

[PH91]

Rumours that Docherty is at east mains for a swap deal with Kamberi.

Not saying that there is no truth in this but docherty played for rangers against hamilton today.

I really hope Hibs can get him though. Gogic, docherty and allan could be the new mcgeouch, mcginn and allan.

I get that there have been decent savings on the wages of the players who have left and these three signings will command lower salaries than their predecessors. But where are Hibs getting the money for the current squad wages and for a transfer fee?

Nothing really else other than what is out there in terms of Kamberi and Tom James.

Sorry , was referring to these players being on far less . Was really referring to the lack of finances in general and being able to bring in 3 new players with potentially more. If the clubs finances are going to be down 50% we will have had to have had a very understanding arrangement with the squad or slashed costs/headcount

I think Boyle will go if we get a good bid. If we do, Flo and Boyle will be the capital to get Docherty, another wide man/striker, left back and keeper for cover.

If we do, the squad has far better balance.

The three signings today, especially Gogic, are excellent. Can't wait to see what Nisbet brings to the table. Watched him versus Dundee closely and the lad has everything.

[JohnMcM]

Good feeling about these signings. Same as when Omeonga came home and added bite to the middle.

I'm hoping Jack Ross is as good as he seems as a "player manager". As the squad stands now with these signings and with less chance of the "developers" getting the game time they need to progress his work might be cut out keeping everyone happy.

Maybe more loaning out with the likes of Doig, Gullan and Mackie?

Not being negative, simply thinking.

If the clubs finances are going to be down 50% we will have had to have had a very understanding arrangement with the squad or slashed costs/headcount

Yes. :cb

What do we all do tomorrow now 😐
Explode when Docherty and Boyle’s 3 year extension is announced:)

[J-C]

He's not a Hibs fan, he's a weegie Celtic fan. Looking at his twitter account it would appear he has a bit of a soft spot for Hibs but that's mainly linked to old posts mentioning Scott Martin (now at Hamilton) who is one of his good mates. Not that it matters who players support, as long as it's no sevco :greengrin

Going by his post on twitter it looks awfy like he's a Hibby.

[Phil MaGlass]

In fairness, they are our rivals, they’re not going to be singing the praises of our signings.

Aberdeen are more like our rivals

[Souter96Mac]

Docherty is certainly one we are wanting but it’s far from close at this stage ,wouldn’t surprise me to see Hallberg move on if we can get that deal done.

No signs Boyle will leave at this stage Hibs certainly don’t want him to go.

Nothing really else other than what is out there in terms of Kamberi and Tom James.

Any word on Hibs offering Boyle a new contract? I'm pretty much resigned to the fact he'll be leaving this window. But we can dream!

I think Boyle will go if we get a good bid. If we do, Flo and Boyle will be the capital to get Docherty, another wide man/striker, left back and keeper for cover.

If we do, the squad has far better balance.

The three signings today, especially Gogic, are excellent. Can't wait to see what Nisbet brings to the table. Watched him versus Dundee closely and the lad has everything.

Good enough account for me. If a couple of the younger Dev / Reserve boys are as hungry as I think they are, then there are surely opportunities to settle the first team numbers. Martin Boyle would be a big loss to the club all round as he has a history, profile and character that endears him to most of us and is a real hero to the youth. Flo can come or go but it’s probably all about him going. I wouldn’t want to see many other departures though or we could be back where we started in terms of a squad.

Yeah, it's not like there aren't good players to be found there but the market we were shopping there is arguably the most overpriced one in the world. You can pay top whack for very average indeed.

These players come with a bit of a track record and have earned the chance to see if they can kick on at a bigger club at either the same or a higher level.

That's different to getting players who think they can come up from the English third division and piss it.

I think that is more of a fan forum perception than anything that comes from a player. Professional footballers are by and large, pretty honest about their ambition and ability in my opinion. No one even pisses it in the English fifth division.

Docherty

Left back or will Stevenson, Mackie and Doig battle it out?

Imo whoever comes in must be a starter and no back up.

I’m one of Rockys biggest fans, but in his time at hibs, I think he’s always been at his best when he has had a good number 2 breathing down his neck. There has been a couple of spells where he’s not had much competition and I think he gets a big complacent as a result. It will have been discussed on other threads, but is Dabrowski good enough to put pressure on him?

[Green Manalishi]

Even with Benny Factor chucking in his cash, it looks like the lads joining us today have their heads screwed on. Signing for a bigger club playing in the top league is a no brainer.

As much as we are trying to bring players in, it’s not lost on the players that are there and as much as Boyle is seen as an inevitable player who will be sold, don’t be so sure we arnt trying to extend his deal.

I agree with you regarding Hallberg, when he first signed for us he had played at all levels for the Swedish national side except full. I suspected or at least hoped he would make a full Swedish international playing for us. I think Ross will or at least should give him a chance. If it came to it now I would rather keep Hallberg than Horgan but hope to keep both they can both play apart. Jack is starting to put his mark on the squad now.

That’s how I see it with Rocky as well, I don’t think we need much now in signings but I do think we need a good back up keeper to keep rocky on his toes, was always impressed with Danny Rodgers (ex-dons) when he was on loan at Falkirk and see he’s still without a club,only 26 still as well.

A keeper and Docherty for me and we’d be fine, gives the opportunity for some of the young guys over the course of the season to get game time and gives us a strong first eleven and bench

I'd be very surprised if we were even considering him. We already have Paul McGinn (who I thought was good in his short time with us) and SDG. I still think the latter will have a part to play next season although we will probably manage his game time better by leaving him out of certain fixtures - away to Livi, Killie and Hamilton for example.

[weecounty hibby]

The next really big statement of intent from us would be to see an extension to Martin Boyle's contract. I think he will be one of the few of our team that will be in demand and I wouldn't blame him or Hibs if they cashed in but it would be a real boost for him to stay

[BlackSheep]

With the transfer window open until October it’s going to be a long window to try and keep Boyle... and with 2 months of game time in there he has the chance to impress even further... hoping he signs an extension even if only to guarantee us a decent fee for him.

[HendoDelivered]

Surely not he was born in Glasgow.

He’s a Celtic fan:agree:

Mood is moving from “I’m sure everything is in hand” to “probably should be signing some players about now”. I’m not all that interested in just bringing back former loan players either. Think we should be looking to start afresh.

You've left out Gray. If he can play CH, then that fills your gap at the back (move McGregor and Jackson one spot left) and it may help his injury problems as well as he wouldn't be sprinting up and down the flank.

There's almost a case to bring back Simon Murray as a cheap fourth striker to complete your squad.

No other transfer has any relevance on McGinn. Different clubs, different player, different circumstances.

Lewandowski's transfer was 6 years ago, he was out of contract and it was in a different league. Complete false equivalence.

McBurnie to Sheffield United was one year ago, it was between a Championship club and a Premier League club, involving a Scottish international in his mid twenties. It broke the record transfer for a Scottish player (until Tierney broke it again) and is entirely relevant in estimating the market for McGinn - a mid twenties, Scottish international, under contract who'd likely be transferring from a Championship club to the Premier League.

Not the same, but definitely similar AND relevant.

Do you think the negotiations involve lines like ''well, Ollie McBurnie moved for this much so McGinn moved for this much''?

Because if not, it really isn't in anyway relevant. Neymar and Mbappe are the transfers that massively inflated the market, they are kind of relevant. Not McBurnie. It has no bearing in the slightest.

Do you think they don't? It's not as direct as that, but of course other transfers in the same league are used as reference points for negotiations.

Ollie McBurnie was the most expensive Scottish international ever at one point last year, moving in similar circumstances to the similarly aged McGinn, that is definitely a fair point of comparison for 04Sauzee to make, but you jumped on their post making a bizzare false equivalent.

McBurnie hadn’t played in the premiership so there’s not really any comparison. Anyway whatever your thoughts on how much McGinn will leave for(certainly nowhere near £18m as getting promoted is worth a lot more than that to Villa), Grealish will definitely not be leaving them for anything less than £50 million because he’s English

I don’t like that the club is making signings whilst cutting back wages and numbers on current staff!

However, everybody else is doing the exact same and if we don’t we are likely to be poor next season having already lost some players and potentially losing more. If we lost 1 or 2 first team regulars to cash in then I would be genuinely concerned about relegation which would result in even more losses, potentially fatal.

Of course these actions open the club up to criticism but it is what it is.

In summary, it’s not great and in an ideal world it wouldn’t happen, but I don’t see how we have any other option.

Although not a perfect analogy, many companies will be reducing their business to core activities just now. So they may be laying off ancillary staff but still investing in new machinery or equipment to help boost the productivity of the firm. Closing the canteen to save money but upgrading the machinery so to say.

Not particularly PC to equate new players to new machinery but there is a correlation. I am sure that the current players can see that the new ones fill gaps in the squad so will be OK with them joining.

Previous transfers have huge relevance to future transfers, if nothing else they will be used by agents in negotiations with clubs.

Transfers are all about market valuations (perhaps with the exception of Messi, Beckham, Ronaldo etc, where commercial value is just as big a consideration).

In the same way, as a house valuation looks at sold house prices, a transfer market valuation works by looking at the "market" ie other transfers.

West Ham won, Watford 2-1 up with 5 mins lest. Aston Villa are all but down. :eyes:

Yep. If Villa stayed up then I would have thought that it would take £30m+ to prise SJM from them.

Relegation probably reduces that to under £20m but hopefully with a decent sell on clause. Hopefully meaning that we would get something from any future sale as well as his next move.

They'll get a fair whack for Grealish, no way will the punt McGinn on the cheap.

Yes, the market as a whole. Not Ollie McBurnie to Sheffield United.

A couple guys on the bounce seem to think we are after Stephen O’Donnell.

I would Suggest that McBurnie and McGinn have far more in common than Lewandowski and McGinn!

Good point. Villa might even look to hold on to McGinn to push for promotion next season.

His comments on Sportsound suggested to me this could be correct! I thought he hinted that Hibs may be a potential destination for him

We are. If James finalises his move back to England it's a goer.

How many RB's do we need?

I know he’s really popular but he’s not for me, I think he’s a big huddy. For the money he’d likely cost I’d rather we looked elsewhere.

Maybe McGinn being used as a centre back this season or moved on

Looked good for Kilmarnock, didn't look good playing for Scotland

I still think he's too small and light to be a CH, yes he can cover there but to be honest McGinn was only bought out of desperation, any other situation and he'd be nowhere near our team.

Someone needs to want McGinn first. Certainly won’t be any of the big hitters judging by his recent performances. The Man Utd/Chelsea rumours will soon be Bournemouth/Newcastle. No one will be spending big this summer. So unfortunate for Hibs

McGinn and Grealish both going to Leeds if Villa go down and Leeds come up (according to a Leeds fan mate) £18 million for mcginn £27 million forIt's easy to see why there's going to be no real money available to sign the likes of McGinn when all the Hearts squad start flooding the EPl. Hickey alone will wipe out any big clubs budget.

When did the thieves actually sell a player they've developed to a top flight club for serious money and sell on?

Definitely and I would hope that we aren’t overlooking very good right backs available because we have McGinn to play there because he’s simply not good enough at a higher level.

These Jambos certainly have an insight to all British football goings - on, did he say what these teams accounts were looking like

[neil7908]

My thoughts are that the club know what they are doing on areas we need to stop or change and those we need to invest in.

It is happening at every club in the world.

Exactly. Juventus players agreed a 4 month wage cut that saved the club around £80m. And I guarantee they will be active in the transfer market this month summer.

We all know how Hearts handled this and are still throwing money at Neilson, Gordon and apparently Nesbit.

I don't want anyone at Hibs to lose their job but I have very little sympathy for the first team players. We were poor for the long spells last year and many of them were not earning their salaries in terms of performances on the park.

Losing back room staff is a concern and I really hope any losses are minimised but the bottom line is we are a football team and its up to the owner, manager etc to get the best team on the park. That encourages fans back and will lead to healthier finances long term for the club.

If he's a huddy I'd hate to see what you call James and Paul mcginn.

Exactly. None of the full backs at the club right now are of the standard we need going forward. Couple of great servants in there but we do need to move on.
