Summer 2020-21 transfer thread

[J-C]

I just can’t believe we would let him go for 100k.

Yes we want him gone because of his comments but surely we would still manage 250-500k. Both parties have spat their dummies out but he’s a good player on his day and it would be a steal for a club with money getting him for less than that (if hes in the mood)


TBH we just want shot and will get back what we paid for him I think there's a sell on % also.

Nothing official yet of course but I was also hoping to get a bit more for him as well.

However, he's been available now for a while and if there are no other serious bidders I can understand the club wanting rid sooner rather than later.

That's partly why I was so annoyed at Flo's Sevco comments. They weren't just disrespectful, they severely weakened our position. Those comments probably cost the club a couple hundred thousand.

[Hibee Mac]

We have no other option with Kamberi other than to sell at a reduced price.

He's totally screwed us over. When it comes to players showing little to no respect to the club, multiple managers, fans and board he really does take the biscuit.

As another poster has said, in the last year alone he has probably cost us multiple hundred £000s with his attitude and comments. We are now forced to cut our ties, and recouping what we paid is not bad in the end considering he gave us some great football for 6 months and we now get rid of an inflated ego who is nothing but bad news.

I'm still fairly convinced that those comments weren't just an accident - he'll have been primed by Sevco into making them, knowing they would seriously damage our bargaining position.

We did a deal with the devil. I don't like us doing business with Rangers.

[Vault Boy]

Rangers fans really aren't happy with Derek McGregor (the Sun journalist), who had the audacity to suggest that Kamberi turned down a two year contract with the very famous and successful Rangers, in favour of a return to Switzerland.

All speculation, guesswork, we don't know what the fee is. He's going to a Champions League club, played in the knock-out stages of the Europa last season. My guess is we will be getting 250 -500k.

[HendoDelivered]

If we are after Sibbick, Docherty deal must be dead

Wouldn’t say that. Sibbick is more of a defender (RB) than a midfielder.

[kaimendhibs]

Never liked him and said so on here. Coward who I can't remember ever winning a contested header. He would duck and try to back in. One footed. On the rare occasion he played well it was for himself, not the team or us.
Glad he's leaving, if we gave a sell on forget it, he won't make us a penny

[Currie Hibee]

It’s been reported in various news outlets that we are recouping what we paid plus a sell on fee. I actually think this is decent value given the circumstances. As soon as both player and club say it’s time to cut ties then the value in the player falls, especially when entering the final year of a contract. Most importantly we don’t have a player earning a decent wage sitting in another country for 12 months.

Totally agree
Frees up more cash to improve the squad
I don’t necessarily wish him well but since there’s a sell on fee.... I’m conflicted

Hopefully the Kamberi deal paves the way for us getting Docherty back.

While I agree with a lot, he was hardly one footed. Scored an absolute raker at parkhead with his left peg. You also can’t say that he played well for himself, not sure what that even means. If he played well then it surely improves the team and gives us a greater chance of winning?

[GreenCastle]

Flo won’t be the first footballer or last to start believing his own hype.

When he was good at Hibs I thought he would be EPL bound - a raw Harry Kane type but when he had the Lennon incident and the Huns comments there was no way back.

He got to the stage where he thought he was better than us and didn’t have to work as hard when his actual best games were when he worked his socks off for us. He started the Euro season with a hamstring injury and never really recovered.

I agree with the poster above though - the Huns comments didn’t help us / his image at all. Poorly advised and I can’t see the guy doing much with his career now.

I always felt like he thought he was doing us a favour when he came back after his first spell. We fought hard to get him and I think everyone (myself included) was happy to get him back but I always felt from then on he thought that he was better than us. Some great goals, but as someone else has suggested, played for himself at times and probably thought he was a bit better than he actually was.

[mjhibby]

Docherty or a no nonsense centre mid in the mould of Gogic. Have a feeling it will be a league 1 player who Ross knows well.

[Nicho87]

Still think we’re light for central midfielders. One or two injuries would see us struggling, Mallan and Newell have both been out longer term. After that we’re quite low on numbers. You’d be looking at Murray coming in to the fold and don’t think he’s ready yet, both Fraser and Innes. Docherty must be signed.

Fraser is ready but is either left mid or behind the strikers. Innes won't ever be ready, Ben Stirling is a better shout.

The 2 Murray lads are not what's needed in the midfield, both are fairly lightweight, we still need energy and some bite in the middle.

Depends on how short of cash we are - we have a good few youngsters and plenty of makeshift midfielders.

McGinn, Stevenson or Hanlon could all potentially do a defensive midfield job if required. Josh Campbell and Ben Stirling have both played there.

If we've not got enough money to make a signing that is going to be a clear improvement on what we already have there, are we not best using these sorts of players in an emergency, who would probably at the very least "do a job"?

I'd be happier that we didn't just get an extra body in as a squad filler if it meant we had bit of extra financial clout to bring in a Docherty or Omeonga when the time is right.

[hibsquaker]

Stevenson is a good shout particularly with the emergence of Doig. I'm surprised he's never been played there in recent seasons, particularly as he started as a midfielder.

We need energy and box-to box to compliment Gogic's defensive mindedness.

[GreenCastle]

Morelos must be away then.

Roofe has had injury problems but is a decent player who can score goals.

Having watched Morelos at the weekend he didn’t look right / fit so could possibly be an improvement.

As we know the huns will spend a fortune to stop 10 in a row. The manager won’t care as win the league he’s a legend and will probably move on - Celtic get 10 and he will be sacked so someone else can sort the over spent mess out.

So did Morelos. Still won diddly squat and will do again this season. Roofe is a like for like replacement. Ok some days totally average the next, but will score a few goals that will keep them in second place.

[Tyler Durden]

If he’s fit then he’ll be an excellent signing. He can play as a wide attacker too, totally different to Morelos. I would imagine they’ll look to bring in a more physical target man aswell. If they do sign more quality there, they’d be well placed to challenge and would have more of a “Plan B” which they lacked last season.

[JDT]

I honestly don't think either of the Murrays, Ben Stirling or Sean Mackie will make it here. They're all 20/21 and have never really got a consistent run of games, I can see them all at championship or league one teams in the weeks to come

Fraser needed a loan last season as you've seen how good Gullan's been since his loan spell. Mackie was doing well at Dundee until his injury and McPake was saying good things about him, I see him in a more attacking left midfield role, he has a sweet left peg. Stirling did well at Alloa last season , he's very versatile and can play in a few positions, RB, CH and DM, he's in the 1st team squad and I'm sure if he was no good we'd be trying to cut him loose to save on his wages.

From a very brief knowledge of an old Football Manager game, I think he's more of an attacking mid, but could be drastically wrong haha!

On a separate note, that Lewis Gibson lad from Everton seems like he could be a half decent option. Seems highly rated at Everton after they bought him for 900k from Newcastle a fee years back. Left sided CB too, which we currently lack other than Hanlon. But I suppose we've seen too many times from these loan players from the Prem that they can be guff 😂 I'm just glad there's some form of rumour!

Gotta laugh at that. I'd imagine BM would roll out the red carpet treatment for some £100m international player with a proven record, not some 18 year old from a wee tin pot club in the second's second tier with about 1 full season under his belt. (33 appearances & 1 goal according to BBC online)

Wouldn’t be surprised if he ended up at TynieA couple of sources in Italy and Germany are saying Hickey to Bayern so that may free up the cash for Hemmings wages (can't imagine he'll be dirt cheap).

Do you mean sources here are linking him with teams in Italy and Germany? i.e the daily record.

Any transfer fee they get I’m sure they owe Celtic 33% as part of the deal they made to sign hickey from them

Not saying Hemmings won’t end up at Tynie but I wouldn’t look too much into the Hickey speculation. Can’t imagine KH was on a massive wage at Dundee compared to what hearts can afford

There is going to be an 8 year old boy dissapointed in this 👀

[Cod Boy]

From a very brief knowledge of an old Football Manager game, I think he's more of an attacking mid, but could be drastically wrong haha!

On a separate note, that Lewis Gibson lad from Everton seems like he could be a half decent option. Seems highly rated at Everton after they bought him for 900k from Newcastle a fee years back. Left sided CB too, which we currently lack other than Hanlon. But I suppose we've seen too many times from these loan players from the Prem that they can be guff 😂 I'm just glad there's some form of rumour!

Was at Fleetwood on loan last season played in a back 3 towards the end .
I’m led to believe he is going back there on loan

This theory is probably driven by the insanity of lockdown etc, however Shelly Marciano, Ofir and their son are all at HTC today, 'working on something' for Hibs fans.

Could it be a new contract for Rocky, with the club getting his family involved in the announcement?

Could just as well be something to do with Hibs kids, community foundation, the academy or whatever else - but just a thought, whilst we're dry on the rumour front. :greengrin

[04Sauzee]

Hearts broke their budget to pay Sheffield Wednesday a six-figure fee for midfielder Sean Clare, manager Craig Levein says.

The 22-year-old had been offered a new deal by the Championship club, but also had interest from Premier League sides.

However, Hearts were liable for a much smaller cross-border compensation fee.

"For me it was an absolute no-brainer," Levein said. "This was outwith the budget, but it was such an opportunity for us that it was a good investment

Don't think Sean Clare will be on more than £3k a week at Hearts.
The high earners they need to move on are Damour, Washington, Berra, Naismith & Boyce.
Probably taking £30k a week out of Hearts and not needed to win a Covid weakened Championship.
Damour has been poor, Berra has been done since his injury, Washington and Naismith have been injured. Boyce is probably the best of the bunch.
An English team might take Washington but they are stuck with Naismith, Berra & Damour.

God knows what Sean Clair is on. When they signed him, Levein was well versed in the Ann Budge school of contradiction statements.

20 September, told the BBC that they broke their budget to sign him
21 September, told the EEN that he was delighted that Sean was able to sign for under their salary cap.

It'd definitely make sense if we're after a defensive player who can cover a few positions, really can't see him making it at Rangers either.

Wouldn't bode well for any deal to get Docherty I'd imagine, but stranger things have happened. I'd prefer Greg if given the straight choice, but it's rarely that simple.

I don't rate McCrorie all that highly honestly - however his versatility and physicality could be useful.

[bingo70]

Don’t think I’ve ever seen him play? Other than when he went in goals against us for a brief few minutes.

Portsmouth want to keep him is a good sign though.

Not sure I’d be fussed for a loan though.

[Souter96Mac]

Would be fairly happy with McCrorie. Interesting to see that he was played at RB towards the end of his spell with Portsmouth last season. I've only seen him play at CB and defensive mid. Would be a versatile option at least. 2 years left on his contract so doubt it would be permanent, unless Rangers want rid of him.

McCrorie seems to be best as defensive midfield player according to what most Rangers fans are saying, but he can also play a CB or RB, wonder where we would see him play if he signed?

Does he have the same energy though?

Feel like it’s energy and drive in the middle of the park we are needing. All very well is becoming a more solid and difficult team to beat but I hope it doesn’t come at the expense of us going forward.

If we continue playing 3-5-2 I’m not sure we need 3 centre halves and 2 sitting defensive midfielders, especially if our wing backs are going to play more like full backs, like they did on Saturday.

Not against the idea of this guy signing but I’d like to think we have an eye on the other end of the pitch too.

If it’s a permanent - brilliant.

If it’s a loan, no thanks. He’d undoubtedly be a key player, but we can’t have a key player missing at least 4 games this season.

If we’re dealing with the Huns, we should be looking at either him or Docherty on a permanent deal. If we’re only in a position to loan, look elsewhere at different leagues so any player can have a full, uninterrupted season.

Same would apply with Griffiths btw ;)

I assumed there was no chance of a permanent deal for McCrorie but it appears that’s what we’re trying for. Docherty must be out of our price range or not interested in coming back.

Not that fussed about Docherty tbh looked as though he shat it versus the Hearts

Then again looking at his stats 3 goals from 8 appearances maybes we could draw a line under his last two games :greengrin

[Souter96Mac]

I was a fan of Docherty, and if we managed to get him back then our midfield would be top 3 quality for sure. However in a season where we need to be smart with our transfers, whilst remaining competitive, maybe McCrorie would be the better option since he can cover at CB, CM and RB as well.

[Brightside]

You could say that about any player though. McCrorie has some decent experience for his age. Would have played more for Portsmouth last year had it not been for injury as well. I think he’d improve the squad.

It when every penny counts this season I’d rather we were spending on a player who is going to push for a starting spot. We have plenty cover. Doc would push for a starting spot. Are we dropping one of Allan, Newall, Gogic for Mcrorie? Nothing I’ve seen would suggest him being better.

Me too. He won’t be coming as definitely cover or definitely a first team regular . He’ll be coming to bring more depth (plays a variety of roles) and fight for a first team place . His performance levels, when he gets a chance, would determine what he ends up here . I think he’s got a bright future in the game. I’d be delighted to add him to what we’ve got .

[04Sauzee]

McCrorie would just be cover. I think we need better. Ben Stirling can provide that cover. No point spending more money on a player to sit on the bench.

McCrorie played 55 times for Rangers in the 2 seasons prior to going on loan to Portsmouth. I'm not sure Hibs see him as cover? Not saying we would guarantee him a start but he will want to play football wherever he goes

[MagicSwirlingShip]

If we get another CB in then can we assume it’s the end for Darren Mcgregor?

Would be a sad day, what a great servant to the club.

[J-C]

Docherty had 94 appearances for Hamilton before his move to Rangers, plus he was part of the Kamberi deal, he didn't need developing. McRorie had 55 games for, if this isn't a permanent deal then I'm not interested, we shouldn't be looking at developing players for rival teams.
When we got Henderson we were in the league below.

Are we expecting everyone to be fit and available every single week? Gogic gets an injury, who comes in to the holding midfield role? We’re not going to set up exactly the same every week either.

At 22, with the experience he already has, there is potential there. He might come in and be an improvement.

[B.H.F.C]

Docherty had 94 appearances for Hamilton before his move to Rangers, plus he was part of the Kamberi deal, he didn't need developing. McRorie had 41 games for Rangers then farmed out to Ayr, Dumbarton and then Portsmouth, if this isn't a permanent deal then I'm not interested, we shouldn't be looking at developing players for rival teams.

He was out at Ayr and Dumbarton before he got in to the Rangers team.

I do agree on only wanting a permanent deal though.

Daz knows this and why he's doing his badges with a view to coaching soon.

Yea sorry, before he got into the team, misread his Wiki.
Edited the post now.

I'd be happy with this sort of signing.

Young, bit of experience, room to grow, can play a few positions, physical, can play a bit too. Makes sense.

[Ardenttwo]

Bobby or Jackie? 😁


Cannot be Jackie He is deed

[Tyler Durden]

McCrorie would be a great permanent signing IMO. Arguably a better player than Gogic and if we’re playing a back 3 would be an upgrade on McGinn aswell.

Don't think he's a better player than Gogic.

[B.H.F.C]

Don't think he's a better player than Gogic.

Difficult to say either way but worth noting though that McCrorie at 22 has played more first team football than Gogic has at 26. Didn’t realise Gogic was such a late starter.

[SHODAN]

I'd rather develop Stirling than another Rangers player. Permanent or nothing.

If we were signing a player who is 22 this month and who has played a little over a dozen Championship games for Arbroath and Alloa we'd be horrified. That's Ben Stirling's stats.

[Nicho87]

I’d only take mcrorie / docherty if they were permanent now. Loans are ok for January if your needing a quick fix. We should be trying to build a team. I’d happily have both, both would add to the squad imo.

Well said

[number9dream]

A double deal from Ibrox - the new Ally Scott & Graham Fyffe?

If our coaches have decided Stirling and Campbell aren't up to it, then a defensive midfielder signing like McCrorie makes sense.
We need back up / competition for Gogic and having two solid players in the middle wouldn't hurt for difficult away games.
If we can get Docherty, then surely that's the end of the line for Hallberg and Murray.
Like others, I'm not so keen on developing players for Rangers to sell to someone else next summer but that may the only way it can be afforded.
Maybe we should just try and get Omeonga back instead?

Ben's played 31 games on loan in 4 years and has had numerous games in a decent development team, he has to start showing now or it may be time for him to move on for the sake of his career, hasn't done Scott Martin any harm.

Normally I'd agree but COVID will have impacted our budget. We might not be able to afford any more permanent signings, at least not at the level we need to improve the first team.

I don't know if he was injured on Saturday but, if he wasn't, the fact that even with Mallan and Mackie out he couldn't even get on a 9 man bench suggests that the time to move on has arrived. It's two-and-a-half years since Lennon was tipping him to be the next Development player to get into the first team squad and that hasn't happened. That's not to say he couldn't be a late developer but we can't halt the recruitment of other players waiting for Stirling to come good.

This.

Also, Docherty and McCrorie will be on big wages and people need to have realistic expectations.

We could look at other leagues for players but would likely take them longer to settle in to Scottish football having no prior experience.

Docherty and McCrorie also need to have realistic expectations of wages if/when they leave The Rangers.

Deadline Day Soccer, who I think are Kamberi's agents, have tweeted a photo of St Gallen's stadium. I suspect an announcement will be coming today re Snakeberi

Rangers loan players:

Middleton was adversely affected just as Newell, Doidge etc were by being here when Heckenbottom was making a mess of the tactics.

Docherty - he is the guy Hibs need to build the team and midfield around. He is the nearest to McGinn that we could ever afford. Solid, good engine, hungry, no significant injury history. Only 2 things that could stop him coming here 1. Rangers want more money than we can afford right now 2. The player would like to get a team in the English Championship. Worth £400k.
Tin hat on, perhaps a swap for Boyle with £600k coming this way with Docherty. Boyle has 9 months left on his contract and is not going to sign another.

McCrorie - for once I don't have an opinion on the guy. I have not been aware of him other than his name. Accordingly, yes to a loan and no to a permanent. Very average players can come from very big clubs. Once you sign them permanent you are stuck with them.

[Ozyhibby]

I like the idea of us signing both players. They are both stronger in the tackle than the majority of our midfield and we know Docherty can create as well.

Its a McGeouch type we need.

Agreed. I thought either an engine or a mcgeouch it's more an mcgeouch
