Summer 2020-21 transfer thread

[Greencore]

With the club spending 250k on players in the current climate, does anyone think the sale of Boyle is inevitable?
Ron spent the jumbo screen money on players.

[w pilton hibby]

Ron spent the jumbo screen money on players.

No worries. Interest free credit offer on at Currys.

[SweetDreams]

I think the club are attempting to do the opposite and are offering him a new deal

I hope so. We would certainly get an increased profit if he continues to grow in form with another 2 or 3 years on his contract.

[tamig]

Really? I’ve no seen that anywhere

Would’ve thought the papers would’ve been all over it if they’d rejected our 2nd offer

I saw a clip of his press briefing on SSN last night and thats what he said.

[BegbieHSC]

Today showed we’re definitely not a finished product. Hopefully we see movement on McCrorie and tbh would like another box to box midfielder.

We need a midfielder who can put his foot on the ball and either carry it up the field, or pass through the lines and get us up the pitch that way.

When did we get into Europe most years?? Ive been a hibee for nearly 40 years and we've never regularly finished top 4 in my lifetime watching Hibs? Which is why the overreaction from some tonight when we are currently top of league is a bit OTT tbh

Don’t think it has been rejected tbh, would be all over the place if it had, same with if it had been accepted. Think it will still be under consideration and must be looking positive if we haven’t heard much as of yet as the last bid was rejected pretty quickly. Sounds like we have defo offered them something worth thinking about this time round.

Said we upped it to £300 000 and that’s why Gettard was quoted as saying zits nearer our valuation but the balks back in hibs court So don’t see them accepting it as things stand but hopefully some tweaking of add ons or percentage of sell on can get it over the line

Hallberg had a chance y'day and didn't show. Newell too was very ordinary.
McCrorie can't be any worse and seems to be more versatile. I'd still like to see the heel-snapper Omeonga back but not sure we'd then have the right balance. Need someone who can put their foot on the ball and distribute in a more controlled manner.

[Ozyhibby]

No idea but money is tight in Scottish football just now so they may look to sell now rather than hang on.
If we were to get him on top of McCrorie and Nisbet I would be pretty confident of selling at least one of them on in a couple of years and recouping all the money spent. And in the meantime we have three cracking young talents playing for us.

Depends on how hard pressed Saints are financially. I’d think it worth a try at 400k, obv start lower. Might work, might not. Nothing ventured and all that

Exactly. We are in the fortunate position that Celtic and Rangers appear to have vacated the Scottish market just now and English clubs don’t value it anyway. On top of that, the salary cap in league 1&2 in England strengthens our hand considerably. We should take advantage. We can add considerable value to young players who have already made the breakthrough elsewhere.

It seems unlikely for a number of reasons, mainly that Docherty doesn’t seem to want to come to us permanently, but I’d love it if we ended up with Docherty rather than McCrorrie at the end of all of this.

[Kaff]

Still a couple short from making 3rd spot our own

Tbh if we're looking at our rivals for 3rd then Aberdeen are the only unknowns just now and we have to imagine they will be impacted by the Covid 8, whether bans or congested fixtures.
As it stands we've played 4 who we'd be thinking we'd be challenged by and have built up a nice cushion. We obviously have a squad capable of getting ahead of those teams, will it be deep enough to last the season is the question really?
Ultimately I do think, as we stand, it's going to be injuries that dictate things.
Avoid widespread absences and I think there's enough there to see us 3rd if we maintain good form, however there's no Gogic replacement so that does make McCrorie or equivalent a must have, we are tight defensively because of him no doubt in my mind.
Big question in my mind is do we play both of them in every game when fit? Personally I don't want to see that as it could make us too negative, I have been known to be wrong though:greengrin

Horgan seems to cut back onto his right to whip the ball in most of the time, perhaps he has been asked to do this. But I think a quick, direct player who loves to run and take on players would be a great choice to have.

I’d still hope we are in the market for another player if / when mcrorie joins.

I’d argue Hallberg / Mallan / James / Murray / Mackie all could leave in some capacity.

Would much rather see one player brought in who is pushing hard for a starting spot. As someone posted Jordan Jones for me would fit the bit well. Allowing Boyle to push further forward.

I don’t think Hallberg or Mallan will be going anywhere, both slot into the team easily and when the games start coming thick and fast (cups and league) simple rotation to a strong formula is what will separate the winning teams from the rest.

He's a right footer and plays as an inverted winger/inside forward, he can go on the outside but will almost always cut back inside.

[The Wireless]

We don’t know if we can’t get McCrorie yet. Can’t just assume its not happening because one poster said so.

Maybe the McCrorie signing and final offer to Rangers is dependant on Boyle staying or leaving and the delay of both of their future destiny’s are dependant on the latter decision. Just a hunch.

We dont have that cash to spend on one player unfortunately - he is a cracking player and I would expect him to go down South.

[BILLYHIBS]

Because it's one-tenth his valuation a year ago and, changed circumstances or not, we'd look like fools?
:agree:

Just thought we might have got him for a knock down price like Nisbet if they were desperate for cash

If you don’t ask you don’t get ?

Celtic got a squad full of million pound bench warmers :greengrin

The only thing that worries me about McRorie is I don’t think I can recall ever having seen him play so not able to pass an opinion but not down to me I suppose? :greengrin

We will find out today I believe ?

[GreenCastle]

If I was a player I would avoid Aberdeen. Seems you go there and you get injured - just like Hearts and there training methods !

We need energy in midfield. Ideally 2 players who can give us better balance.

It was just too good to be true wasn’t it.

Thought this was going to be a real signing of intent. A very good young player with bags of potential who can play a variety of positions and has a real aggressive streak about him. A lot of Rangers fans want him to stay and he would walk into most teams in the country.

Bidding 400k or so for us is rather unheard of and it’s clear Ross really wanted him but yet again it looks like we’re set to lose out on a player to Aberdeen. Why can we not get him on a loan to buy option?

Ross will quite rightly be raging if we miss out on him to Aberdeen.

We better have a very good replacement lined up.

If he wants to go play hoofball up there - let him. Im still not convinced he's really the midfielder we need anyway

Seriously; I’m never ITK but Mcrorie, who I don’t even rate as much as others wants to sign for us and it should be done tomorrow.

Thanks Daz

[HendoDelivered]

Scott Burns: Hibs were in first and spent days trying to thrash out a fee, mainly in instalments, while Aberdeen went straight in and agreed a fee with Rangers - to be paid at the end of the loan. Things can change but I can't see Hibs competing with Aberdeen on the wage front either

He really isnt worth getting hung up about. Aberdeen are possibly the most boring team and club on the planet so it makes sense for them to be after a player like him. We need to concentrate on getting someone who has a bit of energy and is good on the ball so we can start moves off from deep rather than aimless punts which have been creeping in recently

As it’s incredible frustrating. Ross will be moaning too, that doesn’t mean it’s anyone’s fault but the whole scenario will be frustrating and annoying for everyone at the club as it seems we were very close to getting in a player high on our list.

Aberdeen are obligated to buy, it would appear, so a bit different I think. Helps them out as they don’t have the funds just now.

[GreenCastle]

Hibs should be going for Dylan. He’s wasting his time up there except milking them for a wage.

The thing I do find odd about this is Hibs going public with the info as usually they keep things quiet. But at the same time as others have said its about ££ and Rangers / Aberdeen figures obviously match up.

Aberdeen are pretty shady when it comes to signing players.

[skyehibee]

I wonder if Derek McInnes drove down at 1 in the morning to pick him up again similar to Ojo. Brilliant scouting team, just follow what hibs do then at the last minute offer more cash.

[brog]

I must admit I was pretty much unconcerned about the McCrorie signing other than as a declaration of intent. I saw him playing beside Porto for the U21s a few times & Porto was always the stand out. I'm intrigued by a couple of things though. If McCrorie is rated so highly by The Rangers & if Gerrard is so concerned about him playing against Rangers then why are they letting him go, for what is a paltry sum to them?

[GreenCastle]

If Dylan had done anything since he left Hibs I'd tend to agree, not sure why he hasn't. I think. Ross will have worked with Dylan so will know if he's the type of player we need or not.

Some players are just suited for certain clubs.

Dylan was in the Scotland squad playing for us. Yes he had SJM beside him at times but he is the link we could do with taking the ball from the back and dictating the tempo of the game.

Ideally Dylan plus 1 other though.

I was saying that McCrorie was basically cover at CM and CB. He had leadership skills but I wasn’t fully convinced with the hype.

As others have said the Motherwell players at weekend showed some exciting promise.

Jason Kerr at Saints ?

[JimBHibees]

Of course Rangers we’re feeding the media but Ron and co should have just said we can’t comment on that.

While I’d still take McGeough back I did wonder how he would get on without McGinn beside him. Same with Scott Allan, to a lesser extent. Not to diminish their individual contributions as they were both excellent for us in their own right. However it’s a tough ask to get anywhere near that level again without someone like McGinn beside them.

[JimBHibees]

Hear what you are saying and agree to an extent however difficult for Hibs to not comment if Rangers directly announce we have bid. Robbie will be on the phone to the player at this moment then tell everyone he didn't when he goes elsewhere.

The 2 young St Mirren boys have 2 years left. Of their contract, and looking at Magennis I don't think he's naturally a centre midfield player.

Yeah, I think we're crying out for a Campbell type player. You're right though, even though he's only got 1 year left, I can't see Motherwell letting him sign for us, unless it was for big money

[h1bs4life]

Sure it was the Huns that leaked we were trying to sign Mcrorie.
They will no doubt be delighted he has gone to Aberdeen and can't play against them this season.
They have fed us a lot of bull thinking he is on his way, hopefully this will stop anyone from Hibs speaking about transfers before they are done in future
It would no doubt be the same scenario with Docherty.
We should no longer have any dealings with the Huns they will no doubt see this as some sort of payback for us not selling them Scott Allan
Wonder what Dons fans think of this, lot of them want rid of Mcinnes and now he is signing players from the team they despise.

[SHODAN]

I hope Gordon is stung by this and makes sure it doesn't happen again. I'm fed up of losing out to Aberdeen.

[mal]

Dylan McGeouch would be perfect for that role.

In the two years since he left Hibs the only thing of note McGeouch has achieved is to get busted for breaching Covid regulations. Massive question mark over him.

[Smartie]

Dylan's career was on the right trajectory the last time he was with us, leaving a big club with a point to prove.

Since he left us he's played little football, won over few fans of the clubs he's played with and it looks to me he's been more bothered about earning cash, bulking up and getting a hair transplant.

As much as I liked him as a player I think he's wrong for us now. McRorie would arguably have been a bit more like McGeouch in the position we signed him the last time - leaving the OF with little option other than to make a success of his next move if he wants to have a future in the game.

McGeouch's got a bit of coasting to do yet, and he shouldn't be allowed to do it for us.

It was unlike Hibs (other than possibly when we had Lennon in charge) to be as vocal about a player and a transfer publicly that appears to have been far from over the line.

We need energy in midfield - surely there are some players out there who get around the pitch and get in opposition faces and can also be half decent on the ball.

Liam Henderson like Dylan / Allan / Mallan / Hallberg / Slivka are all similar. Good players at times but we need different.

I agree that we need energy in midfield - but it's easier to say that than it is to actually suggest a name that fits the bill.

McGinn was an energetic midfielder.

There aren't all that many around though, certainly not many that would fit the sort of profile that we could easily go for, considering we're unlikely to be able to afford to sign anyone who is a first pick for another premier league side.

Think Dylan is pretty well finished. Two bad moves must have damaged his confidence. Just remember his good times. Ross also managed him and has a view which meant we did not go for him. He is chasing the money and we would not match his Aberdeen salary.

As much as it’s annoying you’d expect us to be in the same kind of market. Just a shame they tend to spend that bit more than us.

Dave Cormack is the sweetheart of the media up here.

[jeffers]

Maybe just me but I was never excited by the prospect of signing McCrorie. Only going by what I've read about him, but he didn't sound like the type of player we needed. If he does sign for Aberdeen hopefully he'll be their latest Ojo or McGeouch.

Doesn't seem like Docherty is an option but I'd have preferred him. Probably no chance but I'd love to see us try for Campbell.

It so underhanded and shouldn’t be allowed!!! Horrible way to play the game, where the sportsmanship!!! 🤬🤬🤬

Personally never seen anything from him that warranted this fee north of 250k that was being banded about. If the Dons keep "Gazumping" us for players like that its fine by me. There is better value for money out there. If we are making bids of 250k it might be worth firing one over to Motherwell for Allan Campbell who's contract I believe expires 2021

Agreed.... but also a bit of a taste of his own medicine for Jack Ross.

Hate to say it but it’s true.

Also have to point out that there must be a small group of scouts working for every team in Scotland the way we all seem to be fighting over the same players year on year....


On the topic of Aberdeen swooping in for our players... surely at some point they need to see that it actually doesn’t further their careers!!! Look at Ojo and McGeouch.... hardly tearing it up for the Dons!!!

[Stuart93]

Omeonga time hibs😏

No thanks.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Aberdeen do this constantly they know fine well we are a threat to them and by going in for our targets all the time and beating us to said targets they slap us down we should be embarrassed by this.

[Andy74]

Omeonga time hibs😏

I’d take him but I suspect with McCrorie we were trying to get a more physical type who could also play 2 or 3 positions.

[Bostonhibby]

We should bait them into a few duds[emoji106]

The Ojo one worked brilliantly.

Personally never seen anything from him that warranted this fee north of 250k that was being banded about. If the Dons keep "Gazumping" us for players like that its fine by me. There is better value for money out there. If we are making bids of 250k it might be worth firing one over to Motherwell for Allan Campbell who's contract I believe expires 2021

It would be fine by me as well so long as they weren’t constantly finishing above us in the league. Need to stop accepting second best.

If McCrorie does sign for Aberdeen who do you think/would like to see us go for?

Greg Docherty
Ali McCann
Dylan McGeouch
Cammy Macpherson
Kyle Magennis
Jackson Irvine

Who we thinking?

Irvine would be best, but he’ll get a new deal somewhere on more than we can offer

I was proper raging about that 1... Until I watched him play

[Gypsy King]

Are any of them McCrorie type players? Genuine question

None of them are versatile three in one CM, CB and RB cover that Ross wanted but I believe most of them are better Centre midfield players.

[h1bs4life]

Ye, they must be getting sick of all the top 3 finishes by now.[emoji849]

Deal with a few of there fans through work and was surprised to hear how many want rid claiming its due to eye bleeding football.
A look on some of there forums confirms the same
Their hatred for anything to do with the Huns is also well known.

Just a note on Dylan McGeough

If you ever have a spare few minutes, watch the highlights again of the Natural Order derby, the 2-0 game.

Kenny Millar had a fantastic description of that match afterwards.

"21 other players came to play an Edinburgh Derby tonight. Dylan McGeough came to play football".

Not saying we should go for him (though he would always be welcome at ER in my book) but it is a shame to see a guy who can hit those sorts of peaks (a true midfield masterclass) languishing on the Aberdeen bench

[Ronniekirk]

What if he’s gash or gets injured? I assume they aren’t obliged to sign him.

You would have to assume that but these are strange times

If we were to get that player back then it would be a no brainer.

He's not that player any more though.

He was immense though - often the most important player in a team full of important players.

I always thought he was the one who made us tick.

He’s wasted his own career imo. Sure he got a Scotland call up whilst at us?

Just shows you the grass isn’t always greener.

Big club Aberdeen.... Aye, right then!

Prob Huns wanting Lewis Ferguson at some stage as part of McCrorie deal

[KingPat4]

Not that bothered really. The player has obviously chosen Aberdeen, so good riddance. Let's hope the Covid8 get long term bans and the Don's get stuck in a relegation battle.

[Since452]

It's a pity. All indications were that he was dead set on a move to Hibs but guess money talks

[BlackSheep]

Look, it’s not over til it’s on an official site somewhere... I’m not doubting that McRorie will be exploring his options as right now the deal with hibs seems up in the air... but who knows... time will tell.

They pay more money than us simple as.

No point criticising them. Every time they do it to us.

If we want to compete we have to pay more money.

Sickening if he goes there though. I think the manager was banking on getting him.

[Bronson]

I’m really not arsed if we lose out on mccrorie tbh. Better players out there for the money they seem to be wanting. I thought our initial offer of £200k was more than fair.

Docherty or jackson irvine would the two i would look at.

It’s highly unlikely we will get Docherty, his transfer out of the Huns will likely be announced before any McRorie deal... it’s not like Hull can’t afford what rangers will consider a good deal.

But Hull can only afford to pay Docherty £2k a week. Pretty poor if we can’t beat that.

How embarrassing?

Most transfers are paid in instalments.These are strange times, so it's not surprising that clubs will take even longer to pay.

We need to wash our hands with the currant buns. Don't deal with them again over players in or out. We must have been confident of getting it done or we wouldn't have went public. We've been shafted here. Onto the next one.

[Leitherhibs]

Go get Jackson Irvine!!!

[Callum_62]

Folk saying they aint bothered

Our management and recruitment team obviously really want him

We confirmed publically via our manager and owner that we were all but finalised in signing him

If we lose out to one of our rivals it is embaressing for the club, no doubt about that

I’m no one to stick up for The Rangers, but if someone else is prepared to meet what they want and we’re not, then it’s no really their fault.

Aye you could well be right but we just move on to other targets.

These things happen in football. The club will know that as well.

Let’s not get too over dramatic about it. This isn’t the first time and won’t be the last.
