Well done KTF. Don't know why posters will think this thread will become boring; quite the opposite as it will only be about Hibs.

I have to admit, I'm out of touch with the latest w.r.t. Hibs transfer talk.

Can anyone summarise what's the latest coming out of Easter Road? Think I read something about more will have to leave before others come in.

Also, anyone got ideas of which areas we are looking to strengthen? I think it should be central midfield, but I've read comments on here about needing a central defender and a striker.

Going by previous years were we had a number of loans i suspect thats the way we will go for any other signings.Personally i like players signed full stop but that is the way many clubs operate now.

[Big_Franck]

Thanks for setting this up OP. The other one has been ruined by constant posts about who english teams are signing. If I wanted to read that I'd visit their forums!

I think we'll still be looking for a replacement for Jackson, another physical, combative centre mid type and maybe another attacking mid or wide player if Allan is out a while and seeing as we lost Horgan.

Ross Stewart from Ross County would be a great signing but their owner seems to be holding out for a big fee for him.

I still think we'll see Jason Naismith come back on loan when english sides finalise their squads and I wouldn't mind us trying to get wee Kyle Magennis from St Mirren.

We were linked with a Spanish centre mid from Oxford I think but that seems to have gone cold.

What is boring is the names of our signings. C'mon Hibs, it's about time we signed someone with an exotic name.
Sorry Alex but someone whose name sounds like the symptom of a persistently sweaty body part doesn't count as exotic.
Of course we could add our own suffix to exoticise new signings - Murphinho, Wrighto, Nisbetti, McGinnio, Barnza.

[Billy Whizz]

Hodge and Yates (think he was only a 2 month signing pre covid) are kids, so I don’t think we can add them to the list as 1st team outs, and Sadiki was never a 1st team squad player

Looks like we've signed a young boy from Hamilton for our youth team. Billy Whizz you want to give us the run down on him? :greengrin

Its pretty shameful that Hibs transfer chat has had to move from the main transfer thread on the biggest hibs fans message board because some folk wont stop talking about English fitba.

There are literally thousands of places to listen, read and talk about English fitba. There are very few to do the same about Hibs.

Is it too much to ask that the main board is kept to discussing Hibs and Hibs related subjects?

That this question even needs to be asked is a bit of an embarrassment to be honest.

I would expect more in the door. An 8nteresting loanee or two seems likely methinks.

Yes, it is too much to ask that we only discuss Hibs and ignore all other football IMHO.

I thought that puns taking over threads were the worst thing on here but non-admin folk trying to police what can and can’t be discussed and where it’s allowed actually rips my knitting more than puns. Not that I’d like to stop anyone doing either - I’ll just view the relevant posters with contempt instead.

I was turned off big time when Mcgeady spoke the other week. He said there was previous interest from hibs but then started about wishing to go back to Celtic.

personally I don't think there is going to be any more transfer activity untill nearer the end of the window when we go for loan moves from the English marker, I'm comfortable with this, if we can get a better player than we would be able to afford who improves the team then it will be the best course of action long term imo

I agree. I think we'll probably bring a couple of loans in to bolster the squad

I suspect this will be the case, unless we move some players on before then. I’m happy enough with a couple of decent loanees coming in. I’m not talking about untested youngsters though, we have them at Hibs already. Given the wider circumstances the club need to operate shrewdly. I’m pretty confident that we will.

[ChilliEater]

Ron Gordon's recent interviews suggest there are still plans to bring people in. I was in agreement with posters who said midfield was most important, but then the A team v B team thread got me thinking that we could use another striker and another centre half. Just not sure I can see us making 3 major signings. Maybe prioritise one then get in a couple of back up (cheaper) options - possibly youngsters on loan.

[JammyDoidger]

I think Jason Naismith will come in, as he can play rb and cb as 3. Think we will get a quality centre midfielder I'm unsure who. And I've a feeling we might see Mcnulty again.

Was thinking about the mcnulty thing the other day but honestly I think getting gullan game time as our third striker is a better option. I like mcnulty but to be honest I was quite disappointed with his fitness last year.

Not to go off topic but when you say football fans, it’s strange, I love hibs and love everything about us but as for football in general I don’t really care, the stuff on the tv might as well be a different game to what hibs play. On the total reverse of this I love cricket, but don’t really support a county or test team, I do have a slight leaning for the black caps but that’s it.

[JohnMcM]

Please no. Would rather give Shanley a chance.

I have my fingers crossed that Shanley will get chances. (There must be a reason why we've let some of the youngsters go on loan etc and kept him here.) To keep this firmly on the topic of transfers- I am not fully convinced McNulty coming back is who we need up front, given his most recent performances for us which left me a bit disappointed knowing how much better he was before then.

I'm not sure anyone was asking that we ignore all other football. However 6 pages of discussion on Spurs' centre backs was neither Hibs or transfer activity related & was extremely frustrating to wade through while trying to catch up with news of Hibs.

[superfurryhibby]

I'd be astonished if Ross saw something in McNulty last season to warrant bringing him back

I would agree. He would command a high wage and that’s probably not what we would prefer from a third choice striker. Also, he was pretty gash overall, despite the hat trick.

[CMurdoch]

If McGeady signed this place would be on lockdown with him being over 30

McGeady will be 35 in 6 months, so well, well past 30.
Has this seasons wages to hoover up at Sunderland.
Then he will be almost done.

[CMurdoch]

I'd be astonished if Ross saw something in McNulty last season to warrant bringing him back

No chance Ross will spend a big chunk of this seasons playing budget on getting McNulty in on loan.

[147lothian]

If we can get a midfielder or possibly even two on loan at the end of the transfer window I'll be delighted, but the wages for two at a good level to improve the team will probably depend on moving people on possibly also on loan

[Centre Hawf]

Disagree McNulty is a quality forward struggled last season but barely played more than single figure games, would be happy if he rejoined.

Have to disagree, McNulty is a bang average striker for the Premiership. The type of lad where if we didn't go for him he'll end up back at a Livingston or a St Johnstone, and not make any headlines when there (a Tony Watt if you will) when his time at Reading is up.

He was fine at the start of his first loan, but went missing once the split came and he had tougher defences to play against. This time round he looked overweight, a bit disinterested, and his antics in the derby were something I don't like to see from a Hibs player at all and left me with a negative impression of him.

I'd stay away from doing a deal to bring him back, mostly because I also think he'd cost us far too much for what he brings.

[Percy Vere]

Gray & McGreggor

I’m assuming you are saying we have Gray and Macgregor.
We’ve hardly seen them in past year, partly due to injury, fitness and players in front of them. I’d like to think they offer strong cover but I’m not so sure either of them do.
We may see one or both moving on, despite their other roles.
I hope I’m wrong as I really like both of them, but in the current climate sentiment doesn’t give us a strong squad.

[147lothian]

Sauzee was over 30. Age is but a number.

Kris Commons was also over 30 and he did a really good job for us in his short spell, the list is probably endless but I wouldn't complain about an over 30 midfielder that improved the team

[keep the faith]

Performances like today mean we dont need to panic sign. Plenty quality on the bench and Scotty Allan to return.
A good position to be in. Hopefully also means we can take advantage of any gems which may become available as we near the deadline.
Interesting times!

:agree: I think he ‘stamped’ his way out of JR’s plans with a shocker in the derby. His comments about his desire to return to Coventry don’t add to his appeal. Better steering clear of him.

Looks like he has a decent pedigree, played nearly 50 games in the Prem and many in the Championship. 6 ft 4, a big laddie too.

If we’re going to Celtic for a loan player let’s try and get Rogic for 6 months, someone with real proven quality who really improves us.

Lawwell played his hand badly and got embarrassed. His ego clearly couldn’t take it and he chucked his toys oot the pram. F*** him.

If the deal is right for us, of course we’ll do business with them again.

Lawwell saves face because he’s not dealing with Petrie anymore. But Rod now operates from the SFA, and won’t have forgotten about it.

I think you're right that that was the rule up until this season, but it's been bumped up to two now.

I did think during the summer that rule should have been scrapped considering the situation a lot of clubs would be in financially. Loaning players may have seemed the easier alternative for all parties to save money on wages for a season, and players playing more football.

Although we all know Griffiths can be a phenomenal player I'm not sure Ross would sign him if he wasn't in good condition both physically and mentally. If he was on the fringes of the Celtic team and getting the odd run out and could immediately improve us then maybe. But yeah still more chance than Rogic.

I like the thought of getting Griffiths back, but not so much the reality. He’s 30 now and , from the outside, looks to be very much in the process of throwing what’s left of his career away. Will go the way of Stokes IMO, bouncing around clubs not doing a lot before retiring. Could prove me wrong and regain his focus and still have a productive few years left but I’d be surprised.

Stokes, Griffiths, Riordan sad to see the decline set in long before it should have.

I think Griffiths would def score goals for us and being home may be good for him. I am wary of disrupting a really good team spirit right now though. He would need to buy into that.

Griffiths will be at Celtc for 2 more years unless he chooses to go elsewhere and it’s financially worth his while. He’ll have had 8 years good money and be 32 when he leaves. More than 150 games and a goal ratio better than 1 per 2 games. I’m sure he’ll get some game time in that period whether he leaves or not.

Stokes on the other hand......

Riordan did come back from Celtic and got himself fit and scoring and making goals. Transfer to China did not work out and then bounced around a few clubs. Don't think he wasted himself just made some wrong moves. We might of got another two years out of him.

The impression I get is that Ross isn't a "sob story, come to Hibs to feel better" kind of manager. If you aren't physically or mentally right to play for Hibs you're out or not coming back. He didn't **** around with Kamberi for instance, he was a goner. His ex captain McGinn, someone he knows and respects had to win a contract by weeks/months of hard work on the training pitch. I really like it to be honest.

Who really knows wtf is up with Griffiths, but his career is petering out, one way or another. Another sorry tale of a guy who had all the talent but sadly, his brains are all in his feet. I very much doubt he'll end up back at Hibs unless he's paid off by Celtic and even then, why would we gamble with the wages he would require when we have the talent we already have up front at the club?

We don't need another striker.

[Andy74]

We don't need another striker.

Until Doidge or Nisbet gets injured maybe.

Other than that we’ve only Gullan who hasn’t really proven anything yet or playing wingers up front.

One more would be ideal. You look at our bench even now and there isn’t a striker there you’re confident can come on and contribute.

[04Sauzee]

We don't need another striker.

In my opinion we do, we have 2. 1 will get injured or lose form. Gullan isn't an out and out striker and im not going with this Murphy, Boyle or Wright stuff they meed to play where they are most effective.

Just my opinion

I agree, think we need another experienced forward in
We don’t really have a replacement for Doidge

I think the plan would be to move boyle up front if any injuries happen. Cant see us signing someone who would be happy to sit on bench as KN and Doidge won't be dropped

[Steve20]

We don't need another striker.

We really do. After another midfielder, it should be the priority. When Nisbet was out and Doidge looked isolated, it showed.

Wright isn't a striker, no matter what is said and Murphy isn't either.

[jacomo]

Let’s play 4-3-3 with Nisbet / Doidge / Boyle across the front line.

Leigh can replace Doidge or Boyle as the Scottish Messi.

Gullan is back up in the David Villa role.

Ryan Shanley as back up to the Doidginator.

Murphy and Wright can play deeper or in the wide areas.

Mon the Hibs!

[Hibs1969]

We don't need another striker.

All we want is life beyond the Thunderdome 😉

[jeffers]

Agree we need another striker. We look better playing two up front. If either Doidge or Nisbet need subbed or get injured we have no adequate cover for them IMO. Boyle can play there but I’d rather he was out wide not central.

[Brightside]

The young lads have to play at some point. The main reason Motherwell and others produce good young players is that the end up having to play them. We have plenty young cover to use if Nisbet or Doidge are out.

Gullan is a striker. He scores goals. He plays upfront. He's not suddenly become a winger just because someone says he likes to come in off the left. He's scored plenty tap-ins in his time.

I'm with you on this. It's even more pertinent given the current circumstances. I think people can be a bit unrealistic in their expectations. As has been pointed out we have Murphy and Boyle who have played up front, as well as Gullan. Yes, both the experienced guys I mentioned are better deployed elsewhere, but we have some kind of reasonable contingency. In recent years it's been very rare to see a youngster appearing out the blue in the first team when injury or suspension requires a change.

People are just pointing out the gaps. If we can’t afford to fill them then fair enough.

We have plenty midfielders but that doesn’t stop the chat about gaps there in terms of cover or different types of players.

Games are generally won by scoring goals. Being short up front over a season is a bit of a risk.

They need to earn their chance though, not just be ‘given a go’

In order to be given more game time they have to make an impression wjen they do get small chances at the end of games coming off the bench.

So here is rub for me.... give him a go...if he doesn't produce we have to let them go. Any youth product hitting 20 and not in the team or not seen as adequate replacement shouldn't be at this level now.

[Brightside]

Nisbet and Doidge are on form. They arent getting dropped any time soon. Gullan could come on with 10 mins to go v Celtic, score the winner and he still wouldnt get in before teh main 2. But if one is injured and one of the young lads comes in and doesn't perform then we have to look to move them on.

If we sign another senior player in that area then we may as well sell Gullan now.

[Andy74]

Agree we aren't just going to make money by playing players that aren't ultimately good enough and that is what we've had recently. Porteous has shown that good players will go in and be played regularly.

Generally young players that are going to make us money you get a good sense pretty early on.

We also have to win football games and anyone that wants a game for Hibs, who should be in the top 3, should have to be good enough within a reasonable period.

At Motherwell Campbell was good enough to play 30 odd games in his first season as a teenager and has been a fixture since. Turnbull's break through year he played 30 games and scored 15 goals from midfield.

As others have pointed out, players need to earn their opportunity and shouldn't be played simply because they have come through the youth academy. However it's difficult to argue against the fact we have been well behind other clubs in terms of giving youngsters a chance rather than signing a raft of short term squad fillers, as the two graphs from 2008 - 2019 indicate.

Apologies Andy, my point wasn't exclusively directed at you and it came across as being more pointed than intended.

I'm hoping there are more players to come in, and hopefully a few more to move on. With the finances in mind, you would imagine that well paid fringe players, like Mallan and Hallberg, might be the ones. Midfield is the main area of concern for me, even more so with Allan not featuring at all recently. |I would imagine Jack will want to continue to bring his own men in, hence Stephen McGInn signing up. I think we have cover enough up front, particularly with the flexibility a change of shape might add, if required because of injury.

We are in for Alan Campbell from Motherwell too- would be a brilliant signing, be surprised if we get him though

[RoxburghHibs]

These are exactly the type of players we should be targeting. I’d be delighted if we managed to get Campbell.

Where's this coming from? As others have said, I'd expect him to sign for a team who can offer double or triple the wages we can.

Would be amazing if we can get him though, obviously.

EDIT: just seen on the other thread that's it's reported in the Record.

The report in the record is just a Hibs like him piece.

They are out there playing their high class games.

Can't blame them for that.

[keep the faith]

Can we no just merge this with the main transfer thread and keep that one on track?

The main one is full of EPL and hearts stuff so I thought the idea was make this one the thread for those who just want hibs transfer news.
I find it great as no raking through pages of irrelevant stuff during the busy working day.

[keep the faith]

Campbell would be a huge signing. Cant see it unless Motherwell maybe eying a player to go the other way. Mallan or someone?

[mixumatosis]

Three bids now according to media. Sounds like we are certainly trying our best to get him.

I think there's been a misunderstanding. Surely we called up and asked if they had any more McGinns and someone misheard ?

[green day]

Anyone else find it irritating that we are reported to have made 3 bids?

Similar thing happened with McRorie and we know how that ended up.

Its all very well trying to get the best deal, but - like buying houses etc, sometimes you just have to pay the price to secure it.

[Peevemor]

Another McGinn on S forms?

[bingo70]

I completely agree. There seems to be a general consensus on here that Mallan/Allan doesn't work. Now that (at best) we look like we'll be without Scotty for a while, people want to give Mallan away. Makes no sense.

What if the people saying that just don’t think Mallan is that good?

I’m not a big fan of his to be honest, I’d happily see him sent out on loan or sold.

[JammyDoidger]

Stevie Mallan better be going nowhere. Get him in the right areas and he's dangerous, that's up to jack ross to do that.

Agree. A very useful option to have. We’ve gone for long periods without goal scoring midfield players and he can certainly be one of those.

[Gaffer1875]

I take it that JM is a typo or maybe confusion with Josh Magennis (striker) of Hull City. It’s Kyle Magennis (midfielder) we’re after.

Yes, Damn iPhone keyboard!

Mallan has a part to play this season. He will get a chance to shine in his best position and hopefully takes the opportunity when it comes.

[Hibs90]

Who reported the Campbell interest? Was it that twat Scott Burns?

Yep

Aye. Expect Motherwell to announce a new contract for him and Burns to write an article about how we’ve “missed out on our man”

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Not overly worried about missing out on players that we were not in for.

Can see it now. "Summer of woe turns in to an Autumn of turmoil as yet another Hibs target says no".

The fitness of a football player is always going to be of interest.

Health is a difficult thing to stay a private matter for a professional athlete as it directly relates to their ability to play.

Disagree. You just shouldn’t talk about someone’s health in public, it’s crass in the extreme.

Totally different to talking about their fitness.

We talk about injuries all the time including career threatening ones. You might see a difference with other health matters, others wouldn’t. It could all easily be classed as private.

Physical fitness and personal health are two different things, let's not speculate on the former.

Physical injuries from playing are widely accepted and spoken about, private health matters outwith football are private.

Are they? Every time Allan has a bad game, his diabetes is mentioned. Every time Lennon didn't give an interview, his depression was mentioned. Don't remember anyone being against the speculation then.

Sorry but when was his mental health ever mentioned when he didn't give an interview? Can't ever recall that.

A few tweets saying we are in for Kyle Magennis of StMirren. Can’t say I know lots about him but St Mirren fans don’t want to lose him!

Usual argumentative posters, say black they'll say white. Admins have told us not to discuss any private health issues but there's always one or two eh?

Difference being Lennon admitted having mental health issues, so it wasn't a private matter, he spoke openly about it.
