Summer 2020-21 transfer thread

[keep the faith]

Admin - is there any chance on a non hibs transfer/other thread? Would mean this one is only for hibs rumours and dealings. I appreciate people may want to talk about spurs centre halfs but surely a general non hibs forum is the way to go here?

Means that when we see lots of activity on the hibs transfer thread then it's relevant and worth clicking in.

I waste so much time trawling through rubbish to find no hibs stories. Personally I would rather the hibs transfer forum lay empty until there are rumours to post.

Just a thought and no offense meant.

[Smartie]

Worked really hard to get stronger through his development years and also to recover from his injury. Falls into the category of the many who gave it their all but didn't manage to become a first team regular. If Stokes had even half Lewis's work ethic he'd be on mega bucks at a top club.

I liked Lewis Allan.

Big honest grafter who was given quite a lot of time by us but I honestly didn't think he was far from making the grade.

His bad injury came at a terrible time for him development wise - who knows what he might have developed into if he'd been able to go out on loan and get a lot of first team games at that stage?

[Stuart93]

I see st.mirren fans are pretty gutted that Popescu’s joining hearts.

Be interesting to see if he’s any good. Supposedly their best player but in a season they just avoided relegation.

[easty]

Can folk stop posting about “keeping this thread about transfers” please. You’re clogging up the thread.

It’s really getting in the way of the EPL centre half debate.

I wonder if St Mirren fans are like Hibs fans though...and when someone leaves they seem to be remembered as better than they actually were?

Winks. Kane has had a major injury to deal with. He's turned Dier into a top class CH. Brought in some decent youth prospects, and signings for the next 5 years. He needs a DM and another forward, and he wont be far away from trophies. A lot of players that Poch bought were simply not up to the level.

Winks looked better couple of years back, Dier has been well Dire totally outjumped by Everton goal at the weekend. Kane will be agitating to leave if Spurs don't actually attack in a game. Mind numbing style of football.

I guessed you wouldn't be sure what I meant, par for the course. Let me try and explain.

It's a transfer thread.

You don't have to post a transfer or a rumour.

You are quite entitled to read about them or reply to them if you see fit.

You shouldn't open it up and read an ongoing debate about Spurs, not a bad topic by any means but should be on a thread of its own.

Finally, I won't make up a transfer rumour just to suit you.

I hope you can now understand.

👍👍

[calumhibee1]

So hes good enough for england but hes not top class? :greengrin

I suppose it depends what we’re defining as top class. Danny Wellbeck has a load of caps for England as well, so does Pickford.. I wouldn’t say either of them are top class. I don’t think just playing for England makes you top class.

[Scott Allan Key]

So, any hibs rumoursPunt Mourinho onto separate thread please.

If Stephen comes back , 100% fit after his knee op, he could end up being an unexpected favourite like Paul. He's got quality, aggression and absolutely dragged St Mirren up and out of the Championship.

Quite content with McGinn as a squad player, don’t think he’ll let us down.

I’d imagine if we have money to spend on the right player we aren’t just going to chuck that away in a panic, particularly when we are doing well relatively speaking.

I think we have probably nothing imminent in terms of players we really would want and McGinn is an easy fix to plug a squad gap in the meantime.

[HendoDelivered]

Ross hopeful of one or two more.

I think there may be couple of loan signings once the English leagues are up and running, sure Ross mentioned something.

We are one injury or suspension away from Darren McGregor playing and he is so far out of things I'm not sure how that ends up. I'd rather we had proper centre half options so that we aren't having to take players from other positions to fill in.

They are both good players and it's encouraging Hibs went for both. Can't be helped Aberdeen pay more and Docherty wanted to go down south. We're definitely looking at the right players which is good to see.

Thats really only 4 natural central defenders, one of whom is our most important midfielder. Stephen McGinn playing there would not be pretty. Paul is our best right back, Doig our left back. Could defo do with another central defender but midfield far more important.

I do wonder if McGregor and Gray can contribute much this season. No one ever quotes them when discussing team selection, but I assume they are both fit and ready if called upon.

Keep in mind the current circumstances and the financial implications of Covid. I think we have enough cover and just maybe one of the reserves can step up if needed?

So far out of actually playing - he can't have had many minutes over the past season.

For me I’d like to see a quality box to box midfielder and a squad striker.

Going out the way for me are Fraser Murray, Tom James and potentially Hallberg.

[Heedersnvolleys]

Have to say thought we might have replaced Jackson.

[Heedersnvolleys]

Also when you look at the midfielders that have left and loans we no longer have we are well short there as well. To really only have brought in Gogic and now SM we could definitely do with at least one.

We don’t have the budget of a Celtic who can afford to have 4/5 cbs on their books we need to be able to maximise the budget and accept that we may have to shuffle our pack a bit more this season. I’d rather see the money spent on the midfield and another striker potentially. Suppose it will also boil down to the fitness of guys like Mcgregor if JR feels he could her 2/3 games out him on the bounce.

Just my opinion and if JR decides he wants another one fair enough.

Of course, I get that. Its about taking a chance and maybe risking going without cover somewhere. The issue is, if Hanlon got injured, you'd either have a 35 year old McGregor playing on the wrong side with no real natural ball player from the back, or you'd be moving someone out of position, weakening another place in the team.

Its a difficult one, but I personally would be pretty worried about our defence if PH was out.

Gray or McGinn could comfortably play on the right of a 3.

Porteous has often been on the left of the middle when we've accommodated other right sided centre halves.

Depending on what we do with the midfield Gogic could drop back, and Stevenson has coped on the left of a 3 before.

And can Ben Stirling not pay all across the back line?

None of which are ideal, but we've got quite a few options before we get to panic stations, so I don't think it even figures on the priority list.

We need a mobile midfielder, a first choice. I'd be quite happy if we were done there tbh. I won't be happy if we don't make that signing though.

Hanlon gets injured you can play Gogic or Doig who can play there, or maybe even trust the manager if he thinks McGregor can do a job. There seems little point having 4 CH's if we have P McGinn, Doig, Stirling, Gogic, McGregor or even S McGinn who can play there.

Could Gray play there? I don't remember him doing so for us. I honestly wouldn't be very confident in him doing that, especially after so long out.

Ryan I agree with.

Losing Gogic in midfield would be really rough. To be honest, we had quite a few options in midfield before getting to panic stations. Didn't stop us bringing in McGinn.

I agree, a quality midfielder is priority. Don't think its about mobility, its about keeping the ball and moving it forward. Its a McGeouch type we need.

[MWHIBBIES]

Right, but again, put Gogic there, losing best midfielder. Put Doig there, losing best left back and he has never played central defence at this level.

Aside from Gogic, you either have guys out of their natural position, guys who haven't played in months, or both. That is risky. It is nothing to do with trusting the manager. I do trust the manager but I can also see how having a patched up defence with guys out of position would be risky. Thats all.

[Brightside]

We are one injury or suspension away from Darren McGregor playing and he is so far out of things I'm not sure how that ends up. I'd rather we had proper centre half options so that we aren't having to take players from other positions to fill in.

He is on the bench every week. Not exactly out of things?

If Hanlon was out Doig would play there. Thats a position he knows well and Lewis would come back in at LB. Darren would replace Porto. He wont be match fit but that would be the same for any player we sign now. Hanlon and Porto will be our defacto pairing so any signing will be a bench player and lack any game fitness.

Doig has never played there at this level, or any kind of professional level. It would be a risk. It is probably the best solution. I'm not saying we desperately need a player in for there but any defence other than other than the current one, is far from safe IMO.

Doig has played CH many times for the reserves, Stirling can play across the back 4 comfortably and did so on loan last season, P McGinn has already played on the right of a back 3 and Stephen has played CH numerous times. CH is an area we ok in.

Jeezo it was a risk sticking him in at LB ahead of Stevenson beacuse of his inexperience and but he's so far proved it was a good decision, it's good to see a manager trusting his youngsters.

[bingo70]

Have to say thought we might have replaced Jackson.

I can see us getting a young player from down south. Someone that will be miles away from first team football down there but won’t expect to play every week here.

A Darnell Johnson or Jimmy Dunne type. Probably not the best examples to use right enough but someone like that.

Are you actually reading my posts or just replying because it is me?

I've said it isn't something we desperately need. Yes, it was a risk sticking him in ahead of Lewis. No, reserve football isn't the same as full games.

It would be a risk, that is all I'm saying. There is no need to get upset mate. I'm delighted Ross is trusting youngsters, I've always said he should. Stirling has never played a league match at this level so I'm not going to be counting him as some safe option to come in.

When were these numerous times Stephen McGinn has played central defence? Transfermarkt doesn't have him down as playing a single game at central defence. Ever. Cant see him being considered an option at all.

Having Paul McGinn playing there would also be a bit rubbish because we'd be losing his excellent form from right back/right centre back.

[Since452]

I think we'll see a lot of Gray, McGregor, Stephen McGinn and Lewis in the league cup group games that are coming up. Ideal for them to get a bit of game time with minimal pressure.

[B.H.F.C]

Hanlon gets injured you can play Gogic or Doig who can play there, or maybe even trust the manager if he thinks McGregor can do a job. There seems little point having 4 CH's if we have P McGinn, Doig, Stirling, Gogic, McGregor or even S McGinn who can play there.

I wouldn’t be moving Gogic or Doig from their positions, that just means you end up weakening two areas of the team rather than one.

I wasn’t Jackson’s biggest fan but him not being there makes us weaker in that area of the park, squad wise. I think we are stretching it to be counting Ben Stirling or Stephen McGinn as central defensive cover to be honest. IMO, McGregor is the only real cover we have in that area of the pitch that we can use, without weakening the team elsewhere.

[jeffers]

I don't think SDG, Daz or LS for that matter are totally out of the picture and would be happy for all three to figure at some point. However the manager is doing what I'd expect and want him to do - sticking with a settled defence and rewarding players who are all playing well.

Personally would like another midfielder and striker. If Doidge or Nisbet get injured I don't think Gullan is their replacement and I prefer us playing with two strikers.

Doig has never played there at this level, or any kind of professional level. It would be a risk. It is probably the best solution. I'm not saying we desperately need a player in for there but any defence other than other than the current one, is far from safe IMO.

The current defence is playing brilliantly and it deserves all the plaudits it has been receiving.

Only over the summer though many were questioning the defence. We've got a kid at left back who had never played for the first team before, Hanlon - who polarises opinion and didn't have a brilliant season by his standards last season, Porteous - who we were starting to think was injury prone and rash, and McGinn - budget signing from St Mirren who'd been decent enough but played than less than 10 games. Not knocking them, they've been superb, but they've been moulded into an excellent unit.

Are Gray, or McGregor's credentials not good enough to suggest that they might step into that defence and do a job? Neither had a great season last season but neither were worse than Hanlon or Porteous who are enjoying a real renaissance with a bit of steel in front of them (and a keeper in good form behind them, it has to be said).

I wouldn't be changing it voluntarily unless there was a very good reason, but the current 4 were by no means our nailed on first choice 4 at the start of the season albeit they have certainly made themselves that now.

Yeah, I agree with that. I do think Gray or McGregor could come in and do a job, fitness allowing. The issue comes when we start playing them, or others, our of position to patch it up.

I think they were both easily poorer than Hanlon last season and both have something to prove fitness and ability wise.

[J-C]

Are you actually reading my posts or just replying because it is me?

I've said it isn't something we desperately need. Yes, it was a risk sticking him in ahead of Lewis. No, reserve football isn't the same as full games.

It would be a risk, that is all I'm saying. There is no need to get upset mate. I'm delighted Ross is trusting youngsters, I've always said he should. Stirling has never played a league match at this level so I'm not going to be counting him as some safe option to come in.

When were these numerous times Stephen McGinn has played central defence? Transfermarkt doesn't have him down as playing a single game at central defence. Ever. Cant see him being considered an option at all.

Having Paul McGinn playing there would also be a bit rubbish because we'd be losing his excellent form from right back/right centre back.
I'm replying because you've made points I dont agree with, you keep asking for any replies to be football based and not personal and when I answer you on football related facts, you get defensive, chill out.

Doig played last season in Div2 at Queens Park, Stirling was a division above at Alloa and been on the bench almost every game so far, if Ross didn't trust him he wouldn't be on the bench. S McGinn has played CH at St Mirren a good few times, Gocic is seen as a DM but can play there, Milligan was also a DM but played CH comfortably. McCrorie who we missed out on played CH in his 1st game and CM in his 2nd.

If P McGinn played in a back 3, we'd play Boyle at WB.

[bingo70]

I thought Dunne was terrific for that lot

Were Hearts not ***** when he was there or was that when they had the good two months and won the league in September?

Think Ross signed him for Sunderland, sounds like he fell out with Barton at Fleetwood, wouldn’t surprise me if we did make a move for him.

Seemed like a fanny in an interview after a derby once but I personally couldn’t care less about that.

Yes, but did Doig actually play any matches at centre back during that time? I wouldn't say he is a viable option in central defence unless we are truly desperate. Him moving there is a big loss at left back as well.
Stirling again, never actually played a league match for us in any position so I really don't count him as an option. Him being on the bench doesn't really mean much IMO, he's never had a sniff when other young lads have.
According to transfermarkt, S McGinn never once played centre back for St Mirren. Any examples of these times?
Gogic was a natural defender, I'd be happy with him playing there but again, losing him from midfield is a huge issue. Not ideal at all.
Milligan nor McCrorie are Hibs players do I don't really count them as options to play centre back for us either.

That would also mean Boyle would be out of his ideal position, despite him being pretty good at RWB. Probably a decent option if required.

[Brightside]

Doig will replace Hanlon over the next 3 years or so.

[JimBHibees]

Doig will replace Hanlon over the next 3 years or so.

Doig seems very lightweight for a centre back.

[bigwheel]

Doig will replace Hanlon over the next 3 years or so.

He may do, but he seems more mobile and dynamic going forward than Paul was at that age, not as strong defensively either. He may well evolve his career as a LB/WB instead

[Brightside]

Doig seems very lightweight for a centre back.

He's on a bulk up diet. He's now 6ft 2 - so taller than Paul. Just needs to fill out a bit. Still growing.

Transfermarket is pish, it never gives info on games just the numbers etc.

Milligan and McRorie were given as examples of versatile players, Whittaker is another.

Did anyone envisage seeing Doig playing ahead of Stevenson, Doig started out last season as a CH and he's seen as Hanlons successor but is a bit lightweight,he's talented enough to play LB, even Hanlon played there in his early career.

✅ Midfielder Josh Campbell moves to Edinburgh City.

Cant see any stats anywhere regarding Stephen McGinn playing as a Central Defender, hes played LB once or twice, Left midfield a few times, most of his career has been played as a Central Midfield player, with some of those deployed more of a CDM or CAM.

Again, I'll ask for these examples of him playing centre back. Transfermarkt definitely isn't pish, it generally does a good job of getting positions and formations correct. It gives plenty of info on games.

I don't think so, but Doig made a name for himself on loan last season playing left back and has done so again this season. I think he is pretty clearly Lewis Stevensons successor. Shouldn't be taken out of his best position unless really required.

[superfurryhibby]

I think they were both easily poorer than Hanlon last season and both have something to prove fitness and ability wise.

I think the abilities of Gray and McGregor are beyond questioning, it's their fitness and capability to do what they did before is, as you say, very much a doubt. The League Cup games will give them and other fringe players the chance to play and show they are still assets to the team. I really hope that the two of them play a part this season.

I would also hope that some players are moved on, wouldn't it be nice to free up the wages from Hallberg and James?

Journalist Alan Nixon tweeting that Wigan are looking to get Tom James on loan

[Ronniekirk]

Jeezo it was a risk sticking him in at LB ahead of Stevenson beacuse of his inexperience and but he's so far proved it was a good decision, it's good to see a manager trusting his youngsters.

But we also don’t want to burn him out Let’s nurture him and rest him when Ross thinks that’s needed


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

[Ronniekirk]

I think we'll see a lot of Gray, McGregor, Stephen McGinn and Lewis in the league cup group games that are coming up. Ideal for them to get a bit of game time with minimal pressure.

Agree and an injury free Match fit Gtay adds goals so we need to see if he is back to the level we would need him to
Be at Daz can’t play a couple of games a week anyway and would think at best he would be ok to bring on as a sub-to help see out a game But would need to see how he goes in these type of games first

[Unseen work]

If James, Gray and Campbell do all leave on loan then that will free up a decent amount of wages for players coming in.

Especially if the centre mid we bring in is similar to McCrorie and could fill in at right back if required too, something Ross has said they want to in players is to be versatile.

Agree we still look a bit light at centre half and up top. Can’t see McGregor playing too many games and I think he’s the type that needs those games to really be match sharp and fit.

[Magpie]

If we give Tom James to Wigan on loan for the best side of no income could we potentially be looking into bringing one of their players in on the cheap? Possibly Lee Evans who we were recently linked with.

There’s another thread linking him with a loan move to Dunfermline. No idea if any truth in it.

One of the comments says Fraser Murray has joined them and has been training with them for a couple of weeks. Anyone heard anything? I know he was linked but seems odd there’s nothing official, however they would explain why he wasn’t in the squad at the weekend.

Budgie came out from of the island
In the backroom she was little craigies darlin
But she never lost her head
Even when she was playing dead

She said hey babe...take a look outta my stand
She said hey sugar just look at the wild life

And the jambos sang

Boo hoo boo hoo boo hoo boo ....

Need ma bed now....😇

That's a cracking signing.

From looking like not doing much business, Liverpool now really cracking on.

Thankfully yes they are, you can’t win the league then just stick with same squad while everyone else strengthens.

Mental to think Liverpool decided to rely on state aid to pay their staff a few months ago and here they are spending over £50M on players

The peoples club

I’m sure they reversed the initial decision tbf

[Alex Trager]

They did after backlash but still took that decision in the first place.

As did Spurs

[AugustaHibs]

Is this the same Juergen Klopp that completely slaughtered Lampard for spending money? Clown

Yes, both them and spurs should be ashamed. Unfortunately, it's no different to most big companies.

[MWHIBBIES]

So the people protested a ****ty, selfish decision by the owners? Surely that is the definition of being the people's club?

Genuine question btw, I don’t have any favourite English club.

Yeah mental to think of all the other massive companies that relied on it, put half of their staff on furlough and worked the other half to the bone to meet their demands. Mental eh.

Please please please - admins - can we get a separate thread for folk who want to talk about English football transfers?

I have zero interest - it's a different country football-wise - and we don't have to wade through ***** from other countries, do we?

Folk log onto this to read about transfer rumours about Hibs - not about the mad money transfers in a different country.

The people’s club pish is to make Everton fans feel better about themselves as their club can’t do it on the pitch. Sad really but it seems to have worked and thousands of bitters claim it as their badge of honour 😂

Start your own and title it Hibs transfer talk only!

Is it not a fair criticism even if other big companies are doing it too?

Did the other big Premier league clubs like arsenal and man United do it?

My work did it and I think it’s wrong, if it was Hibs I’m sure I’d try to defend it though.

The thread title is Greggs Summer 2020-21 transfer thread, which covers all transfer rumours, it is not a Hibs only transfer thread.

Fair enough, good for them then, right thing to do.

Out of curiosity, do you know if the other big clubs in England used the furlough scheme?

Not sure to be honest, maybe after the outcry of Liverpool and Spurs they stepped away from it, that is if any others actually intended to do so.

All this people chat reeks of Rangers

I posted similar the other day. This thread is being taken over by the talksport brigade. Drives me crazy.

Cool. I see Lukas Grogic has moved to WSG Watten in Austria. Fascinating, eh?

[Cat Stanton]

Oh, look, Michalis Boukas has moved to Ergotelis in Greece.

Mental stuff.

Did you see Benjamin Karamoko is off to Aalesund in Norway. Did you see that coming?

Could have been just what we needed as well can play the CDM role as well as CB and full back. Great spot btw.

True. Still can't get over Vahid Hambo leaving Aalesund in Finland. Have you?

25 years of age hardly played any top flight football, hope we werent in for him.

These are great, keep them coming.

[04Sauzee]

Robbie Hamilton, young Hibs player, anybody know much about the young boy?

buzzing to sign my first pro contract with @HibernianFC https://t.co/uzDc2WH1qR

Kept really quiet apparently in case Aberdeen came in with a big offer..😂

[Cat Stanton]

I'm quite tired of googling, so I'll just make it up now if that's OK?

So, the Australian Freddie Fastfeet at AC TestadiCazzo (feeder club to AC Milan) is poised for a shock move to FC Stronzo in Serie C. Any views?

Nah, made up ones don’t do it for me, but I’ll try.

Jermaine Defoe to Hibs in straight swap for Tam McCourt.

[MWHIBBIES]

Yeah, this garbage is much better than the discussions about English football...

[CmoantheHibs]

Grogic and Gogic in midfield.It will go with Mallan and Allan, Doidge and Doig and of course McGinn and McGinn

[jgl07]

Only because, like Spurs, they were lambasted in the press and backed off.

It was crass insensitivity to try it on in the first place.

It’s much the same to many on the site. I’m personally as interested in the latest Eliteserien signings as I am in discussing Liverpool and Spurs.

But hey as long as the handful of you obsessed with English football are happy.
