Winter transfer thread 2020-21

[Souter96Mac]

Not a rumour, merely a suggestion, and I'm happy if it gets shot down, but thought it would spark some conversation.

With Celtic in disarray, would it be worth trying to get Klimala on loan until the end of the season? Would obviously prefer Leigh of course, however Klimala may be more realistic? I've only seen him a couple times, but I think he's scored a couple against us in friendlies and the earlier league match Vs them.

[JimBHibees]

Greig had a sports shop on the royal mile, quite near the bottom.

Windows always seemed to be boarded up for some reason? :wink:

Was that not Ronnie Simpson?

[blackpoolhibs]

I'm sure that was rose st.

Don't think they'd loan a player to their rivals for second place 😉. Six points in it haha.

On paper he’d be a decent signing I think. I can’t say I know anything about him though.

I can see anyone getting anything out of Celtic right now... they might give us Lennon.

Fear not. Your memory serves you well still. Ronnie Simpson's shop was in Rose St. As a lad I won a comp in the Pink and the prize was a pair of boots of my choice from his shop. I chose a "Pele" boot fitted by the man himself. (Ronnie not Pele!). Must have been about 73? (I knew f... all about adidas or puma in those days.)

[BSEJVT]

Robertson?

I remember playing in the Portobello Golf Club boys open as a 12-year-old (I think) with John Robertson who was the year below me at Porty eventually but not at the time

When I turned up, Chris who was a Rangers player by then caddied for him, star-struck me started with an 8 finished with a 79 and was second (I think) overall by 2 shots.

Little did I know that was just the start of the ignominies the Robertson family would inflict upon me!

John Robertson, Chris was tall though

Rumour that stevie mallan being allowed to go out on loan this month

Is that this centuries Stevie Mallan or one we had on our books in the 70's?

[madhibby]

When he retired from football he had a shop, newsagents or sports shop can’t remember , on Comiston Road up from Morningside Station.

John Greig had a sports shop between Tollcross and Bruntsfield - opposite the meadows/bruntsfield links

I was a typical argumentative Hibby lad then. I used to catch the bus to Leith Walk for Hibs games with my mates from close to his shop. I remember going into his sports shop complaining he sold sectarian Rangers badges with Union Jacks etc on them. He in person responded they weren't sectarian and told me to get out! I asked if he stocked any Irish Tricolour badges which he didn't! I didn't really want to buy one - it was more to wind him up! But does show things don't change or were maybe worse then re the Old Firm and what they stood for? I did think then as Rangers captain he should have set a better example.

[worcesterhibby]

Can we start a John Greig thread for transfer updates ?

Nah, until there is a transfer rumour to talk about, I'm quite enjoying the tangential nature of this thread.

Ps: Greig played centre half, alongside Ronnie "Pull yer shorts up as high as humanely possible" MacKinnon.

[Scott Allan Key]

SJ did because Peter Collins got him in to train us with Gracemount Rovers at the old Dr Guthrie’s complex on Lasswade Road.Jardine trained my cub scout division indoors. Might have been Meadowbank early Eighties. Not sure if he was at Hearts then or if he played or coached with them. My cub scouts was riddled with Yams, it was a bit of a war of attrition with them.

Sandy Jardine and John Greig once took my chips off me when I was 8 years old walking down Easter Rd. Sandy had his own chip van then and John had the sports shop. They had missed their supper and often just took food off local kids. I’m off now to see if there’s any transfer rumours.

I see he captained Scotland at Wembley in 1967 and played centre half. I've said this before. but it's worth repeating since none of the old timers replied, but what was Ronnie MacKinnon doing with his shorts.

I remember his shop in Bruntsfield but for some reason it’s in my memory bank as a gent’s clothes shop. We used to pass his shop on the way to and from school, if we were feeling particularly brave or if Hibs had beaten the Huns we would open the front door to the shop, yell out ‘Hibees’ and scarper pretty quickly. One one occasion Greig himself was in the shop and as we shouted out, he came out from behind the counter and made as if to chase us. I can tell you that Usain Bolt would have been left in my trail that day, I legged it and never looked back.

Scottie tipped to make the squad for the semi-final

Scott Allan is poised to make a welcome return to the Hibs squad for this weekend’s trip to Hampden.

By*Moira Gordon

Thursday, 21st January 2021, 10:30 pm

Scott Allan returned to first team training last month and is now expected to feature in the Hibs squad for this weekend's Betfred Cup semi-final.

The talismanic midfielder has been sidelined by a personal illness for most of this season, featuring in only the first five matches of the Premiership campaign.

The 29-year-old’s last appearance came on August 30, against Aberdeen, but since then one of the more mercurial passers in the Scottish game has undergone his own battle to get himself back into contention.

But, ahead of the Betfred Cup semi-final, manager Jack Ross has revealed that the fans’ favourite, who is in his third spell with Hibs, could play a part in helping the Leith side through to their first cup final since that Scottish Cup triumph in 2016.

“Yeah, he'll be in the squad but it's been difficult. The plan was for him to be involved in bounce matches over the last week or two and for a variety of reasons, particularly with the weather as well, that's not been possible, so we've tailored a little bit of our training over the past week to try and accommodate some of his needs as well, in terms of boxes he would need to tick. So we're pretty much there with him.

“It's good, it’s nice to have him back and pretty much there which is good and as I said, he'll be included in the squad.

“I think Scott's abilities are well documented and that's why he's always attracted so much attention in Scottish football, because of his ability to see passes that not many people can see. It's not easy to find or replace players like that. If I was trying to source one at this stage from outwith the club it wouldn't be easy so the fact that we've had one here and the fact that he is nearly back to being fully fit and available is a bonus for us.”

But with such rich competition for places these days, Ross said that not everyone will be able to play their part.

“For the first time this season we may have boys not stripped, which has not really happened this season, apart from when they have had injuries. We may actually have two or three fit and healthy boys not stripped for the first time this season.”

To be fair I think he is a slight upgrade.
What to do with Jordan White now given no team in the championship will want to increase their wage bill.

Hibernian's hopes of sealing a cut price deal for Ross Stewart in January have been dented after John Hughes claimed it would take a bid of £500,000 to prise him away from the Highlands before the end of the month.

The Easter Road outfit are reportedly among a clutch of Scottish sides monitoring the 24-year-

old's contract situation at Ross County with the forward's deal due to expire at the end of May.

He seems to be very versatile, which looks to be the type of player Ross is keen on. Looks like he can play upfront, and on the right hand side. £500k is a lot, but don't begrudge county trying to get as much as they can.

[MrRobot]

is there any chance County could still be due us money for Shaw? They apparently paid 6 figures so could be worth exploring writing off anything that is potentially still outstanding as part of a deal to get Stewart in.

Not at all, they've every right to try and get as much for him as they can. Versatility is all well and good but we are reasonably well covered for wide players (Murphy, Boyle, Wright, Donaldson), and up front we've got 2 senior strikers and we need someone more prolific than Doidge with more experience than Gullane.

[Unseen work]

One player id like to see us go for us Josh Mullin, a far better option than Drey Wright imo. Couldn’t believe when County weren’t playing him and allowed him to go to Livi.

Technically he is brilliant and his crosses are as good as anyone in the league.

If were building a big physical team with runners etc we still need boys on the ball that can play or put it on a plate for them, he is one imo.

[BSEJVT]

There’s no way they will get £500k, but County will put a price on staying up though

I think if you dropped a 0 of the price they would be closer to the mark

[The Harp Awakes]

I don't get the hype around Ross Stewart.

Me neither. Was glad when I heard Aberdeen were in for him.

[badabing67]

Wouldn’t be surprised to see a swap deal for Stewart with Mallan going in the other direction.

I would be. There is no way he would agree to go there, for a start he is better than that.

[hibee-boys]

I don't see what he would bring to the team in all honesty, 15 goals in 63 games for County, none for St Mirren. £500,000 is absolute nonsense.

Pretty sure there’s a few penalties in that 15 as well.

Okay then what would you pay for an unproven striker who could sign a pre contract now?

Hibs pay decent money when it’s required but we are business not a charity.

You will be telling me next he is twice the player Nisbet is so we should pony up the £500k

I honestly wouldn’t pay much more than £50k right now for him

Why would i be saying he is twice the player nisbet is just cause i think it’s ridiculous to suggest offering a shan amount like 50k? :confused:

I think county would be more likely to keep hold of him until
the end of his contract if they were only getting 50k out of it.

I really don’t know tbh mate, he’s not a player i’ve ever paid too much attention to, though i know he seems to be highly rated. My point mate is that if a team values him at 500k, then we’d most likely told where to go if we offered just 50k.

Difference between him and Brophy is that Stewart is a first team starter for county, i don’t think Brophy was for Killie and they probably just wanted him off the wage bill.

[bingo70]

John Hughes saying they want £500k for him doesnt mean it’ll actually cost £500k to get him.

There’s loads of other factors to take into account, the fact that is their starting point and best case scenario gives me cause for optimism that we’ll get him (I think he’d be a good signing)

If we want him, we will try to get him on a pre-contract deal, once (or if) we do that a deal becomes much easier and cheaper imo.

[BSEJVT]

If you were struggling you would cash in on the asset not give it away?

The simple truth is someone in that position isn’t worth much

Look at Wright at Aberdeen The Rangers aren’t offering mega dosh for him and are hoping to pick him up on the cheap also

Again no idea what Killies finances are like if they are looking to pick up a 1m loan.

Suggestion, Yogi will know fine well he would do well to get half the amount quoted he’s suggesting today.

I’d be prepared to let a Mallan, McGregor, or Gullan go on loan as a sweetener. Wouldn’t be surprised to see hibs go back in for him. That’s the last two windows we have been sniffing around him.

[Smartie]

I watched that league cup game where they beat Celtic and he was the best player on the park by some distance that night.

I’ve not seen enough of him to say much about him, but if the one time I’ve paid attention to him he’s ragdolled Celtic at Parkhead, I’d say he must have something. Even if it was a poor Celtic side.

[Hibee Mac]

I wouldn't be spending anywhere near 100k if we managed to get him on a pre contract. I'd rather just wait half a season and bring him in then than pay anywhere near that amount to bring in a 3rd striker (albeit a young one with potentially room to grow)

Bradley came on as sub done well and hasn't had a sniff since, so that's unlikely to happen. Gullan's best performances have been as a wide player & we all see Kevin's Nisbet's impact this season.

Giving we are competing in three competitions at this stage of the season, having a third striker available could well be of more value than 100k in the bank.

It’s not bonkers to think they want some decent money for one of their main assets. 500k is a bit much but 100k really wouldn’t be.

Oh dear. You'd think Hearts would want to keep on the right side of clubs down south given they will be playing there in a few years as they are done with Scottish football.

[CMurdoch]

I think the real issue will be whether Stewart wants to gamble on playing down his contract and potentially getting a more lucrative deal down south because any signing club won't have to pay a fee. As for his current club, I reckon it would take a £100k to tip Ross Co from keeping him until summer but the player is entitled to sit tight.

Meanwhile back on planet Earth, Jason Cummings has scored 3 goals all season (2 of those in the EFL Trophy).

I don't necessarily think he's the answer, but I won't have a go at folk for thinking that a guy who scored a lot of goals for us including goals in big games against Hearts, Rangers and Aberdeen might be available and might have something to offer us.

Wow, what an ignorant post.

Cummings proved whilst at us he could score on a regular basis when playing upfront and did so against the so called better teams like Hearts, Rangers and Aberdeen.

He went to Nottingham Forrest in the championship, a league he was never going to suit yet scored 2 against Newcastle.

He went to Rangers where he predominantly played either on the right or left of a front 3. He scored 6 goals for them including a hat trick.

At Peterborough he started the season for them on fire, scoring 7 goals by October. He stopped scoring when he threw his TV through a window and was dumped from the team and struggled after that. His loan ended in January and he went to Luton where he scored 1 in 5.

He scored 7 for Shrewsbury last season and 3 for them this season. He’s again been playing wide of a front 3 which anyone watching him at Hibs would know it’s not his best position.

Just because he’s not been scoring 20 a season down south doesn’t mean he can’t come to us and score.

Scott Allan, Dylan Mcgeough etc etc never ‘cut it’ down south but are very good in the SPFL, you can’t write someone off as easily as you are and claim anyone who thinks otherwise is ‘magical thinking’.

Far worse players than Cummings score regularly in this league. With the service, which he would get for us, he would score. Especially in the big games.

I'd like us to try and get Kiltie on a pre contract.

[IAmLee]

I’d want us to at least try and get Stewart Findlay on a pre then negotiate to get the deal done now. Knows the league and would be in the frame to play right away. I rate Ross Stewart but he’s more of a hold up player than someone who’ll get a load of goals imo. I’m at a loss to what we can do to get the players to be braver on the ball, Doig was the only one willing to take a player on last night!!

I think this is a fair assessment of Cummings career over the past few years... I for one think he would be a good addition, completely different from any current attackers we have and would hopefully bring a bit of a positive attitude back to the dressing room.

Chances are it’ll only be 5 clear on Wednesday night. They’ve then got a game in hand. (At home to aberdeen I think)

Great that we’re 8 points clear ahead just now, I wouldn’t bet much on us finishing above them though.

Hopefully they take their eye off the ball and start to think about the league cup final a bit too much.

All well and good saying that, but they’ve got Aberdeen twice and Rangers before the split, we’ve got Aberdeen once and Rangers once. If we start breaking games down on paper like that then we will be well clear come the split. That’s not how it’ll happen though, and they won’t be winning every game. After their exertions today I wouldn’t bank on them winning Wednesday just like that.

[Unseen work]

Livi are doing very well right now there is no doubt.

But guys like Robinson up top for them are in the form of their life, he will stop scoring goals soon enough.

New manager bounce and all that.

[Crab apple]

Wow, what an ignorant post.

Cummings proved whilst at us he could score on a regular basis when playing upfront and did so against the so called better teams like Hearts, Rangers and Aberdeen.

He went to Nottingham Forrest in the championship, a league he was never going to suit yet scored 2 against Newcastle.

He went to Rangers where he predominantly played either on the right or left of a front 3. He scored 6 goals for them including a hat trick.

At Peterborough he started the season for them on fire, scoring 7 goals by October. He stopped scoring when he threw his TV through a window and was dumped from the team and struggled after that. His loan ended in January and he went to Luton where he scored 1 in 5.

He scored 7 for Shrewsbury last season and 3 for them this season. He’s again been playing wide of a front 3 which anyone watching him at Hibs would know it’s not his best position.

Just because he’s not been scoring 20 a season down south doesn’t mean he can’t come to us and score.

Scott Allan, Dylan Mcgeough etc etc never ‘cut it’ down south but are very good in the SPFL, you can’t write someone off as easily as you are and claim anyone who thinks otherwise is ‘magical thinking’.

Far worse players than Cummings score regularly in this league. With the service, which he would get for us, he would score. Especially in the big games.

Totally agree. He also brings a bit of personality, self confidence, and devilment (tv throwing aside) which this current squad appears to lack.

Their new manager has had an influence there for some time so I wouldn’t expect that to have so much of an effect.

And I’m not so convinced that they’re great as I am that we are poor.

8 points over that many games isn’t all that much. We need literally every department to buck their ideas up big time if that lead is to be enough.

Would be amazed if we signed any Livi or Saints players - especially after the weekend. Why would you change teams now?

We have had an extension of Lewis....would be good if we knew what was going on with Marciano and Newell...plus 2 months after LD announced she was leaving, it would be nice too replace her also.

I'm not sure we will bring another in...he has Doidge and Gullan on bench and McGregor also - would he bring in another striker or CB ?

Would expect some movement on Gray and Mallan though. I would keep Mallan and play in 10 role in front of Jackson and Gogic - he will add goals and assists.

[04Sauzee]

He's contracted until May 22 and is one of their main players.
Noticed he's also only 6ft, not that defenders havebto be giants just noticed alot of Hibs fans crying out for big brutes at the back.

With St Johnstone having him tied down for 18 months i can't see it happening and can't see it reported anywhere?

He scored 6 goals for Rangers. But, how many in the league 1/2? His hatrick was against Falkirk in the cup at Ibrox and that Falkirk side got relegated year.

Weird for him to put his neck out that much and say it’s happening at 4pm if he has no news though.

Always remember Ross was not Ron's man signed by Leeann and Mathie, if big Ron is not happy he'll get shot of Ross and get his own man in and he may just want to tempt a bigger name here.

I think the Ron point you make is a good one ...he seems to be clearing out most other senior people ..Not sure about the “bigger name” point though - not seen any sign that he is up for attracting bigger names here ...

Problem with that is that Ross would be entitled to significant compensation.

I’ve had many a tantrum about Ross, some I stand by, some was probably heat of the moment stuff that could only be described as over the top.

One thing I would say though is that he’s not going anywhere soon (unless he quits for another job).

We are in the middle of a pandemic, have no income, have no chief executive to head up the search for his replacement and the reality is he’s doing a decent enough job in the league to ensure he’s not in any danger of losing his job. A boring and safe pair of hands just now probably isn’t the worst thing in the world given everything else that’s happening.

I’m not convinced he’ll ever be my cup of tea, I don’t think I’ll ever find his interviews particularly engaging or interesting and I don’t think his Hibs team will ever become entertaining, I don’t think it’s a coincidence he loses big games at the rate he does, I think it’s clear he’s not a motivator. Now isn’t the time for sacking him though, there’s too much uncertainty elsewhere and it would be too expensive at a time we’ve not got much money.

I think the end game for Ross will be to join the coaching staff at a big club or we will drift along until his contract is up.
