Summer 2020-21 transfer thread

[ElginHibbie]

We won’t sell him for a cut price especially to them.

He’s more valuable to us than some cut price sale. The club knows that

The club have my complete trust in that, but it's the arrogance that always comes out when the OF are linked with players from other Scottish clubs and the use of phrases like that that their fans lap up that I can't stand

[MWHIBBIES]

Granted, but that doesn't change the fact that the manager picked him in that position when he could have picked Gullan.
Versatility the likely reason for that.

[Jones28]

It would be a shame to see Gullan pushed further down the pecking order for Murray. He should be getting more game time imo. I think we’d be alright if we brought in another midfielder. We’ve got 3 wide players, 3 out and out strikers and a solid defence with good cover all across the line.

[Onceinawhile]

Haha, Andy Murray's response to a reporter talking about Messi......"what, he's going to join Hibs"!

Is he itk? Or has he just ripped that from the pm board.

Excellent news if its true. Never in doubt IMO. This is his level and the lack of any credible rumours kinda gave it away weeks ago that he was staying.

The Daily Record?

[AlbertK86]

We are short
Gullane got game time on Sunday but didn't start with Nisbet out being injured
Wright does say he can play up front, not sure what he's like up front he's obviously preferred as a wide player
Boyle more effective out wide

Scored a brace playing up front against Killie

[Unseen work]

Delighted if we get Boyle on a 2 year extension.

Great wee player who offers a lot for us. Rapid, good work rate and contributes a lot of goals and assists.

Started the season poorly by his own standards, hopefully he kicks on now.

[Roxyhibee]

And as we all know when it comes to The Daily Record - their word is their bond..

Lovely jubbly. Will get excited when official though.

[jeffers]

Getting MB on a new deal would be a brilliant bit of business. I'm a bit surprised at the news, was convinced he'd move on, probably to Celtic. On his game he's definitely good enough to give them something different.

Agreed, and it says a lot that we've only signed 3 and extended a player's contract. Quality over quantity for sure. Hopefully we can add another 2/3 into the squad

Following Deeks lead - the player Messi always aspired to be, as I understand.

[Brightside]

I think we have to assume now that this will be a fair hike in Boyles wages. As such unless other players go I can only see us bringing one more player in and that will be in midfield. We arent going to spend £2k per week for a strikers to sit on the bench every week on the off chance we have a couple of injuries. I expect to see Mackie, Murray away on loans. James away or released. Hopefully see that missing midfielder in over the next 2 weeks.

I don't think there's a chance we come out of this transfer window with a 35 year old Daz, who has his own record of injuries, as our only other option at centre back. We'll definitely sign another CB, regardless of departures IMO.

will be a fair increase, and much deserved but i still think 2-3 more is needed and will happen.

We have several options at centre back as well as Daz. In addition to those who finished as a back 3 on Sunday you can add in SDG & Louie. Gogic spent a lot of his time at CB for Hamilton & Ben Stirling's another option. I think JR sees flexibility as the way forward hence trying to sign McCrorie as a defensive mid/defender. I think he'll be looking at a similar purchase not an out & out CB.

Jesus. Stop trying to sell the guy. This site has been trying to do it all summer. He is staying. He was never linked with a move away by any credible source. He was right there for anyone who wanted him, in the best form of his life and he has renewed. He isn't going anywhere.

Not having a dig at the previous poster but folk love to sell our players on here. When we were linked with McCrorie there was posters already talking about selling him on before we had even signed him. Selling our best players rarely results in an improvement in our fortunes despite the added riches we may receive.

That’s our business model though. If we never ever sell any players then we won’t be a successful club long term. We bring through our own to sell, we buy young hungry players for little money with the plan to sell them for more. That’s the way of nearly every club under the elite.

If you don’t think the plan is to sell Boyle down the line for decent money then I’m afraid your head is in the sand. At some stage of his career he is going to want to move and test himself, thankfully that isn’t right now, but it will happen.

Hes 27 with a 3 year deal here. My head isn't in the sand, he'll be staying at Hibs. He was available for very cheap this summer and no one was linked with him. He was either not interested in a move or there was no interest in him.

No interest that's been publicised, doesn't mean to say there hasn't or won't be any soon, considering the transfer window doesn't close until October. For all we know he's signed this extension with a low release clause similar to Cummings. I'm hoping he'll be with us until at least the end of the season, anything beyond that I'd be delighted as well as surprised.

He definitely wont be leaving in this window. If we're doing well he'll be going nowhere in January. I cant see anyone paying good money for a 28 year old winger with 2 years on his deal who has never been tested at a high level.

For all we know, it doesn't have a release clause at all.

Cummings is a great example of a decent player at this level, like Boyle, who has struggled everywhere else. Is that that mental to suggest we're keeping him? Really?

I agree it's looking less likely, but you don't know he won't definitely be leaving this window. I also agree we don't know if there is a release clause, but I wouldn't be surprised if there is.

I think Boyle is a better player than you are giving him credit for. Better than Hayes for example imo, who went to Celtic at an older age, albeit on a free.

He won't be leaving this window. He's price at least tripled last night. As I said, he was available for a cut price for months.

If he goes on a free in 3 years I'd be delighted. Imo he'll be here as long as we want him.

With that in mind it would not surprise me if you were correct and a bid was still made.
On the positive a couple of signings in and we will have the bones of a good squad , midfielder a must and the club im sure are working there socks of on there next target whoever that is.

Not if there is a release clause. :greengrin

I hope you're right but I remember reading we'd get a million+ for Cummings and look how that turned out. Also got to look at it from his point of view, while he's no doubt earning more than me he won't exactly be a wealthy man. He's probably only got one chance at a "big" move.

Contract is until 2023 I'm sure. It really is a steal. He isn't the best in a back 4, though. May struggle in Spurs want him to play right back, rather than wing back.

In a years time he may just have had a quality tournament with Australia at the Copa America, played an integral part of hibs qualifying for Europe and potentially played in at least one Scottish cup final. If Boyle never leaves I’ll be delighted, however your point was all about ‘stop selling our players’ which is the business model we use, every player should be seen as an asset as that’s how we continually improve our squad and wage budget.

Highest ever transfer fee for a player who has played for Hibs? Fletcher to Sunderland the only one I can think of that comes near.

Despite his unpopularity at Hibs Doherty's story is a positive one - he was working as a carpet cleaner at 18 and was turned down by 8 clubs before Wolves took a chance on him. He had the second highest number of contributions from right back in the premier league last season after Trent Alexander Arnold.

Is known as a bit of an eccentric character and obviously he had no media training at all when he got here, but to be honest he was no different in his attitude to loads of other players who played for Hibs back then, just a bit more honest/naive in his comments.

Naismith is a lot better going forward. Although, I really rate McGinn as an all round defender.

I actually thought Naismith was great and to me looks better than O'donnell who's an internationalist.

Great going forward and not a bad defensively.
Also can cross a ball and a bit of a goal threat from full back 👀

Not sure if it's an area we are looking at but I rate him highly.

Has James made the bench yet, in a time when we're allowed 9 subs and have a squad of 24?

We'd be better off with Sid James. At least then we'd be able to carry on at our convenience.

Would be really happy with Murphy. Lots of ability on the ball, can go past players, score and create.

Not sure where he would play though as can’t see him left in a 442, don’t think he has the legs for it or would offer enough defensively. Maybe competition behind the striker in a 352 or actually up top in 2. Ideally he’d be on the left in a 433 but can’t see us playing that much.

Would be the best option we have on the left though imo.

Hibs probably not happy about this being leaked and with the McCrorie situation probably want it wrapped up quickly. Surely just be a permanent deal.

As much as we don’t like Rangers, over the past few years they’ve accumulated a lot of players good enough for us but not quite good enough for them I.e. Stewart, Jones, Barker, Docherty and now Murphy. These are all players that will make us better on the park and that’s surely what we want right?

[franck sauzee]

I thought Dabrowski looked a good keeper in the preseason game against Celtic. Would be happy enough with him as backup. If we are bringing this guy in to get Dabrowski out to a team as first choice then fair enough. Don't want to see him become third choice though

Agree about the other midfielder but I’d hope and assume it’s not a case of one or the other.

FWIW I’m not keen on Jamie Murphy signing. Not my cup of tea as a winger.

Correct. Couldn’t put it simpler. Certain players not good enough for Rangers (or Celtic) are more than good enough to help us. His goal/game ratio at Burton was outstanding last season. Would be a very good player if we can get him, 31 is nowhere near over the hill either.

It’s not about doing business with them, it’s about having a player, who may do well for us, then we can’t play him against them

Hopefully young Fraser gets lots of game time and kicks on a bit. I've always liked him - he's been just short of getting a good run in the team several times.
A successful loan to Dundee will hopefully be the catalyst to his steady improvement so he can come back and make a stake for a regular place.
Of course I could be miles off and this could signify the beginning of the end of his time at ER.

Purely a hunch, but I think we'll aim to bring in another attacking option (Murphy), a centre mid, and a defensive option. If we can get all of the above as well as the goalie on loan then I think we'll have a decent sized squad for the season

Because both celtic and rangers act like petulant bairns when it comes to transfers with us now. Only when it heavily favours them will they do a deal. Celtic and Lawwell in a huff because we didnt sell McGinn to them for less than what another club where offering "so youre no getting scott allan!!!" And the huns because we refused to sell Scott Allan to them on the cheap and to a rival for the league at the time and more so because we sold him to celtic and made their club and support look like the mugs they are because they thought they would walk in and take him like the good old days. Both clubs should be told to **** off unless the deal is heavily in Hibs favour.

[Unseen work]

My only worry with Murphy is his mobility. Looks can be deceiving but he looks old and weak looking, not sure if he has any of his pace and energy that he had before.

Think our team needs energy which I’m not sure he brings. But if it’s a case of him in place of Fraser Murray etc then absolutely.

Ability wise it’s a yes though.

Don’t think he is injury prone...When you look at his stats he doesn’t seem to have missed any major chunks of seasons until his injury at Rangers. His 7 goals in 10 games on loan to Burton are pretty impressive stats too.

Wouldn’t have initially thought his role was a priority for us, might be a case of when quality becomes available sometimes your head is turned...can certainly add some quality going forward for us

Wouldn’t have initially thought his role was a priority for us, might be a case of when quality becomes available sometimes your head is turned...can certainly add some quality going forward for us

Checked Transfermarket for his injury stats and apart from 1 bad injury I'm not sure where all this injury prone nonsense is from.

Checked soccerbase to see what games he scored in and watched the highlights of these games on YouTube (Murphy has the no 29 on the back of his shirt) scores some good goals, doesn't mind taking a man on has quick feet and can drive with the ball. Looks decent and if we are after him I'd trust Jack Ross on this one.

I don’t get the people who don’t want to do business with Rangers stance, I personally couldn’t care less where a player comes from and that includes Hearts, it it’s someone who will make Hibs better and not strengthen our direct competition (coming to us over Dons, Well etc) it will do for me.

Spot on don't care where they come from. As someone above says though would assume interest from his old club Motherwell given he is west based and they are flush.

Good luck at Aberdeen Jamie

“He’s too old”. “No sell on value”

Imagine if we’d used this thinking when we we signed a 30 years old Latapy or a 33 year old Sauzee. “Nah, they’re too old”

People are obsessed with the idea of selling our players, even before they arrive. I want players who will improve the team and make us better to watch and couldn’t care less what age they are.

I hear ya Steve but sell on value is always an important consideration for a club like Hibs.

Motherwell also have a fairly biq squad
In the wide areas thay have Hylton, Hastie and Seedorf already
Up front the have Long, Lang, Watt and Whyte

Agree totally someone who can give us two or three brilliant years would be ideal.

Not in all cases though.

That needs to be our number one priority, however we can’t just ignore experienced players who will improve us also. As long as we don’t ***** all our money on them.

But not for every player that comes through the door!

Quantity not quality at Motherwell. It’s not a great model.

Just checked his wiki and I'll take back what I said about his injury record, it looks like the recent cruciate is his only major one, his stats are pretty good tbh. He's only 3 years older than Horgan and if he's a replacement for him I'd be for that as his stats are better, lot of games at Motherwell, Sheff U and Brighton.

There's going to be a lot of fixture congestion this season, particularly if we do well in the cups.
We're undoubtedly going to pick up several injuries and suspensions throughout so if we can bring in players of Murphy's calibre to strengthen the depth of the squad, particularly when trying to compete with the likes of Aberdeen who do have a bit of strength in depth then I'm all for it.

460 in 13 seasons is an outstanding turnout, and the total opposite of what folk would make out. He’s a better player than Horgan (not that Horgan is a bad player mind you) and we need options, not just one for every position. He also fits Ross’ mould of playing in more than one position, off the left, can play off the right, in behind, and also played up front for Motherwell back in the day.

Really don't get this chat about needing to have a sell on value. It's fair enough if we are making a big investment through a chunky transfer fee. Otherwise, Hibs are debt free and should be looking to put the best team on the park.

In Jack Ross I trust. If he feels Murphy can improve his team then do it. He will know why and this is is the reason Hibs employ him.

You can still have an opinion though. That’s what this place is all about.
