Winter transfer thread 2020-21

[Andy74]

Aberdeen look to have strengthened quite a bit especially if they get Kamberi. Cosgrove has left but he’s been very poor for them this season.

Mccrorie permanent
Hendry loan
Kamberi loan
Hornby loan

Kamberi and Hornby with Hedges in behind will be a handful

I think we’ve strengthened more than they have this month.

What is the deal with hibs and Aberdeen? Is it just agents offering the players to both clubs then Aberdeen sign them? Been a few picked Aberdeen over us

[brog]

If they are, and you specifically Keith Jackson are reading this, I want you to know that it’s not over. I’m not done with you yet. I’m biding my time.

[Ronniekirk]

Tam M saying room for another striker, do you think he knows
something?

Hammer has gone back on loan to Raith so maybe that’s why he is saying it and Mallan away on loan So frees up some wages

I think so.

Both have roughly the same budgets, agents will offer players to similar
clubs and it will be a case of us keeping tracks on them.

Although they might be of interest it’s not the case that we’ve made a genuine attempt to sign them

[sean04]

I’d rather see the season out with Drey Wright up front.

Hendry is a bit of an unknown quantity as is Hornby and Kamberi is a good player when he can be arsed, which is hardly ever.

I think a lot of it will just be agent talk as well.

I remember Alan Stubbs speaking at a visit to EM and he said the one thing that could be guaranteed was any agent offering us a player would say he was either attracting interest from or had an offer from Hearts.

They have got more bodies but time will tell if they’ve strengthened.

We know Kamberi can be good when he fancies it. Hendry not getting a game at St Johnstone and Hornby hardly played any senior football.

Are they as good as Cosgrove and Wright? I know Cosgrove hasn’t been brilliant this year but he’s also had his injury problems etc.

IIRC JR said don't pay more than £1.25M because he isn't worth any more. Then the owner Stewart Donald went ahead and ended up paying £3M rising to £4M.

I think the fact we beat Dundee United has given a bit leeway to the club.

Could be interesting on here tomorrow night if we get beat off St Mirren though having let two attacking players go and not replaced them (assuming we don’t of course)

[Unseen work]

I just think it’s absolutley mental we’re even lighter upfront now than we were at the start of the window, when everyone was saying we needing an extra body....

[Stuart93]

So did I. An injury to doidge or nisbet leaves us having to play a winger up top who has little impact on a game up there.

Let’s hope we’re not missing doidge & nisbet at the same time

We are very likely to have Nisbet still on the bench tomorrow. Also very late to expect any singing to influence a game tomorrow night.

We’ve gone 20 odd league games. If we get beat tomorrow night not signing a striker tonight would have very little to do with it.

I cannot believe we have let gullan go out on loan

We have a striker in Nisbet who’s head has been turned and will need managed very carefully and doidge who hasn’t scored in weeks.

We’ve brought in Cadden which allows Boyle to start up front if and when required. I can see Jackson Irvine chipping in from midfield as well based on what I’ve evidenced so far. Meaning no disrespect to Jamie or Stevie but they’ve contributed 1 league goal between them this season, I suspect that Cadden and Irvine will contribute more assist/goals than the players we’ve let leave so we could say that we’ve strengthened in the forward areas in this window.

Even if his head has been turned (and I have my doubts) he would have to unturn it pretty damn quick if he wants a big move in the summer. Throwing a strop wont help him do that.

I think we’ve been pretty fortunate in that neither Doidge and Nisbet have been injured or suspended much in the first half of the season. Long may that continue but letting Gullane go with no replacement doesn’t leave us much wiggle room should we get an injury or two up front.

If Doidge or Nisbet get injured, or if we play them up front together we’ve got nothing to come off the bench to try and change the game.

We’re going to have some tough games coming up after the split particularly, having a strong bench could be important. I’m not arsed about letting Gullane go but he had to be replaced with someone that could be effective coming off the bench.

Generally agree but what I'm saying is that it shouldn't be a reason to be kicking off tomorrow night. We aren't short for tomorrow.

Suppose we start with the same team as we started against Dundee United, is Nisbet the only really attacking sub we can bring on?

[Greencore]

Think that's us done for the night. If we need another striker just recall Gullan? 😂

[Andy74]

So you don’t think it’s risky at all then?

For tomorrow? No, not really. We are in no different a position than we've been all season really. Gullan wasn't really a player who was making any impact.

Since then we've brought in Cadden who is freeing Boyle up to be another option up front.

We won away at the weekend without Nisbet coming on at all.

We might not win but not having another striker shouldn't be close to being our main issue if that happens.

Dr Drey.

[B.H.F.C]

I’ve said all season I wanted another striker. Don’t want someone to come in and sit on the bench and make the numbers up though. Want someone who would come in and play in front of Doidge who’s underperformed for me this season. When you get to this point in the window, and only have 12 games to go, I think it’s pretty clear that’s no happening though.

No striker but I’m happy that the squad is stronger than at the start of the window.

[Stuart93]

For tomorrow? No, not really. We are in no different a position than we've been all season really. Gullan wasn't really a player who was making any impact.

We might not win but not having another striker shouldn't be close to being our main issue if that happens.

But with regards to the rest of the season? Still a lot of football to be played, 3rd place to go for, tough matches in the top 6, an injury to one of our strikers means us either playing with 1 up front or going 2 up top without a senior striker to bring on off the bench

[brog]

Yep its true but we're still gambling on no injuries.

I agree but Boyle, Murphy, Irvine & Allan can all play fairly high up the park.

[bingo70]

Suppose we start with the same team as we started against Dundee United, is Nisbet the only really attacking sub we can bring on?

Scott Allan maybe, anybody else that I’m not thinking of?

Just checked and that’s right. If we don’t bring someone else in we’re leaving ourselves with one attacker we can bring on in games. If one of our forwards get injured at some point, we’ll pretty much have nothing to come off the bench.

Sorry but this is madness imo.

[SteveHFC]

So we have only 3 centre backs and 2 strikers upfront for a team pushing for 3rd. Not good enough.

[BS44]

We are if doidge or nisbet ends up injured early doors

If Doidge runs over Nisbet's foot in the car park before heading to Paisley tomorrow, and then manages to sprain his own ankle as he leaps from his car to see if his team mate is okay then we are really ****ed

[Shrekko]

I agree, no point rejecting £3m bids if you are not going to play him. He had his rest on Saturday.

He's been invisible for the last 2 months bar his goal v Celtic. Not sure why Doidge or anyone else would lose their place after Sat?

Assuming nothing happens tonight it's a massive 3 months for the guy - I really hope he rises to the challenge.

[Real Emerald]

I agree, no point rejecting £3m bids if you are not going to play him. He had his rest on Saturday.

Correct, 12 league games left why would you not start your star £3m rated striker? Let him show what he’s got in his few remaining games with the club.

He’s not kicked a ball for them this spell (or the last one) although he’s always up against it there due to being a Newcastle fan.

Yeah I've been saying all season we could do with another - although at this point it is not likely to make a huge difference if we are going to be moving to the 3 in midfield, wing backs and 1 real striker.

I hope we do add one, always happy to have new signings, but my point was that if we are going to be using it to make a complaint tomorrow night if we lose then it isn't hugely valid.

Na probably not an excuse for tomorrow night if we get beat but could well be an excuse if we miss out on 3rd or 4th come the end of the season.

Important not to forget the squad we have available to us is the same squad that was beat 3-0 at Hampden from st J. I think the nisbet situation has masked that completely

Why is the criticism not valid tomorrow night?

What happens if we need a forward to come off the bench and make an impact, Nisbet doesn’t make the impact we are hoping for, is that it? We are giving ourselves one good attacking option off the bench?!

You don’t finish 3rd with poor options like that off the suns bench. That criticism is as valid tomorrow night as it is the rest of the season.

In the last 7 weeks, apart from his equaliser against Celtc, Kevin also scored against Hamilton away & a superb winner against St Mirren. Not really invisible.

[Magpie]

No signings for Livingston? I thought they may have brought another one in to push for top four.

[007]

We aren’t signing another striker are we?

I don’t think that’s good enough tbh

Tam McManus has tweeted we tried to get someone in but it didn't come off.

Nisbet, Doidge and Boyle and if any get injured then look to the free agent market is probably the plan.

[Greencore]

Did we use up all our cash in the summer?! Come on hibs another striker please!

[Stanton Spence]

Why is the criticism not valid tomorrow night?

What happens if we need a forward to come off the bench and make an impact, Nisbet doesn’t make the impact we are hoping for, is that it? We are giving ourselves one good attacking option off the bench?!

You don’t finish 3rd with poor options like that off the suns bench. That criticism is as valid tomorrow night as it is the rest of the season.Josh O'connor

A very inconsistent squad, we are challenging for third and possibly second if we go on a run....Nisbet has pressure on him to perform...secure a Scotland place and get a move that he wants...

Let’s not forget the two senior strikers we do have, one of them has scored 6 in 30 games & misses at least one great chance every game & the other striker doesn’t even want to be here.

[Shrekko]

In the last 7 weeks, apart from his equaliser against Celtc, Kevin also scored against Hamilton away & a superb winner against St Mirren. Not really invisible.

It's 1 goal in 8 games. If you're happy with his form and think he should just come back after the team played well on Sat that's ok. I disagree, but I'm really glad he's staying and am desperate for him to catch fire again.

I think we're all looking to see how he reacts. Personally I'm not sure how it'll go and think Hibs made an exceptionally brave decision to reject the offers we got.

But with regards to the rest of the season? Still a lot of football to be played, 3rd place to go for, tough matches in the top 6, an injury to one of our strikers means us either playing with 1 up front or going 2 up top without a senior striker to bring on off the bench

I agree, don’t think Gullan is good enough (maybe given time) but I definitely didn’t think we would have let him go with so few strikers at the club abs no one coming in (so far). I also think Nesbit will be either brilliant or terrible due to the car crash of a deadline day. We will see.

Not at all. I’m happy when there’s something to be happy about. I was happy about the way we went about our win on Saturday. Well earned 3 points.

I’m happy we rejected Birmingham’s offer for Nisbet because we didn’t like the amount offered. I’m happy we never felt bullied into accepting it after he handed in his transfer request.

I’m unhappy he decided to hand one in or that he allowed his agent to decide that was the best course of action.

I’m unhappy that we’ve decided not to bring in another striker

It’s all about balance. Because I’m unhappy about something the clubs decided not to do doesn’t mean I can’t be happy about things the club has done. I was pretty vocal in my support for hibs rejecting Birmingham but because I’m seen as a negative poster people only tend to focus on anything I say that’s deemed negative by the more positive posters.

[basehibby]

There's no guarantee that Nisbet's going to rediscover his early season scoring form, but had he been sold and Hibs season collapsed the fans wouldnt look too far for the reason why.

Keeping the fans onside undr the current circumstances is essential as the club will be needing their money in the coming months.

Very good point - people carping on about "missing out" on 2 or 3 million are forgetting about the kick in bollox such a move would be to the very life blood of the club - the ST holders and other Hibs fans putting their hands in their pockets to keep their club afloat.

We have no need to sell Nisbet - the club is debt free and he is barely in the door. So what's the hurry???

We have just moved on Mallan who has been one of our top goal scorers since he arrived too. I really like Irvine and I hope Magennis can get over his injuries and show his quality too. We know how good Allan is, I just hope he hasn’t lost any quality after his lengthy spell out.

Also FWIW Aberdeen have only scored 4 goals less than us in the league this season playing a game less.

Rogerio Ceni scored over 130. I wouldn't want him up front. Boyle is not a striker. He has rarely played well there for us. Ideally we do need another forward but us not getting one doesn't mean we have given up on 3rd like some think. We can effectively play 1 or 2 strikers, with Murphy Boyle and Allan supporting. There are options.

[hibee92]

it'll be fine stush EMA non-employer

[FilipinoHibs]

As other folk have said we have Cadden as wide right with Murphy and Drey able to play wide left. We have a choice of Doidge, KN and Boyle upfront and can play 1 or 2 upfront or fully load with a three. We have Irvine in and Allan making a comeback. Magennis getting fit to. So plenty of options. Good to move away from loans and building for medium term.

No chance we sell to them this late and no chance they need him either.

[hibsboy69]

People know there I will be plenty forwards freed from plays and can sing out with the window, know we would like another body in but if there is a injury there is still options there

You took the words out of my mouth !

Where’s Charleston Battery with the prime Raul?

[B.H.F.C]

Boyle isn’t a striker.

He’s got more league goals playing as a striker, in the last 72 hours, than Aberdeen’s new three have between them all season though.

I also agree that Boyle is a much better winger by the way. But can you imagine the reaction if we were signing someone not getting a game for St Johnstone and someone with less than 20 senior appearances?

[davhibby]

They can’t play up front though?

The Aberdeen players can in a front 3.

They’ve also got far more options off the bench than we do to change things if it’s not working.

They’ll be bringing people who can win matches off the bench, we don’t have enough off them.

Callum Hendry is not going to win them matches, he’s behind Stevie May in the pecking order at St Johnstone. There’s definitely something to be said about us being light up top but Aberdeen don’t have a better squad than us

I'd rather have Boyle coming from the bench than Gullan tho to be honest, regardless where he plays

He didn't do toobadly on the weekend

Some folk aren't happy unless they've got something to be unhappy about.

Distinctly unhappy about this comment.

Rogerio Ceni scored over 130. I wouldn't want him up front. Boyle is not a striker. He has rarely played well there for us. Ideally we do need another forward but us not getting one doesn't mean we have given up on 3rd like some think. We can effectively play 1 or 2 strikers, with Murphy Boyle and Allan supporting. There are options.

Any need for that flippant pish? Boyle started his career as a centre forward, and remains a forward player to this day.

Wherever Boyle plays there will always be others who don’t think it’s his best position. He is perfectly capable up front.

Agree that we have plenty of options.

I’ll remind you of that tomorrow night when we’re chasing the game and bring on Stephen Mcginn and Lewis Stevenson off the bench again 😉

We’ve not come from behind to win a league match this season, the poor bench we’ve got in an attacking sense has been a factor in that IMO.

I’m really surprised the club hasn’t addressed that. We needed a different kind of forward that could come on and change the game, we’ve not got that and I think it’ll cost us points.

I agree the players they have signed this window are a sure sign of desperation.

[CentreLine]

Very good point - people carping on about "missing out" on 2 or 3 million are forgetting about the kick in bollox such a move would be to the very life blood of the club - the ST holders and other Hibs fans putting their hands in their pockets to keep their club afloat.

We have no need to sell Nisbet - the club is debt free and he is barely in the door. So what's the hurry???

I think they are also missing that this £3m was likely to have consisted of a fair proportion of smoke and mirrors. Very little up front and the remainder split between instalments and reliant on appearances, goals and maybe even promotion.
Not basing that on any factual source other than the true value of reported fees is seldom what the press tell us

I've never seen anyone disagree with right wing being boyles best position. He is significantly better there than anywhere else. A decent option up front but nothing more. Doidge and Nisbet have very good injury records so hopefully not required often.

[hibee-boys]

Boyle isn’t a striker.

Yeah, he’s not a striker who has a goal per game ratio on par with, or better, than Aberdeen’s new ‘strikers’. I’d take Boyle partnering Nisbet or Doidge up front over any of that 3!
