Winter transfer thread 2020-21

[JimBHibees]

I think we'll bring back Kevin for cover while Rocky is injured, and he'll be away on loan again at the end of January, assuming he doesn't play any games for us (2 club rule? would have to go back to Dumbarton)

Nothing to suggest Rocky is leaving. Plenty of PR about him loving Edinburgh and his family being settled. No links away (you think if an Israeli international was going to make a decent move, one of their national team journos wouldv'e heard something) Who knows though, until a contract is announced, we've all no idea really.

I like signings like Macey. Good age, something to prove, obviously has something and trained with some top keepers (Cech, Fabianski, Leno, Szczesny)

Hope he is better than the last Arsenal loanee Boateng. :greengrin

Also notice Macey won an Fa cup winners medal as he was on the bench when Arsenal beat Chelsea in the final in the summer.

[04Sauzee]

Former Hibernian trialist Thomas Roberts is set to return to training at European champions Bayern Munich after failing to win a deal at Easter Road, Edinburgh Live understands.

The highly-rated teenager was one of three players to arrive at the Hibees' East Mains base for a month in November in an effort to secure an initial loan move to Leith from FC Dallas affiliate North Texas SC

[hibbysam]

So if he’s a better option we get him back and look after ourselves first and foremost. No point in having him out playing every week to get him ready to play for Hibs, if he’s then not there to play when needed.

We don’t know how long Marciano is going to be out and Dabrowski might not be the third choice.

We don’t, your right, the point was him coming back as third choice though. If that was the case it would be really poor from Hibs IMO. I’d like to think he’s better than that though so would expect personally he’d be our number two. Reading the reports and seeing him a couple of times I’d expect he’d be a long term asset for us, so I wouldn’t want us to waste that for the sake of 6 months if he was going to be third choice keeper.

Also, he’s a better option to have as third choice, but I don’t think there’s ever been a ‘better option’ for a benched keeper (keepers rarely come on off the bench so it doesn’t matter who’s on it for me).

Didn’t think I’d see the day that somebody failed to win a deal at Hibs so went on trial to the European Champions instead.

[Onceinawhile]

Didn’t hear play against Sunderland in a game Andy McLaren was on trial? Rings a bell for some reason.

He played against Preston North end away when mclaren played.

[CMurdoch]

Mentioned it a few days ago but surprised we haven't been linked with Toby Sibbick again. He's available again after his loan to the Belgian side was cut short. Just missed out on him in the summer.

Jambo's discussed bringing him back again on JKB. Bottom line is injury.
He only played 2 games on loan at Hearts due to injury, This season he was sent out on loan to a team in Belgium where due to injury he has not featured and is now back at his parent club after the loan was cut short.

[badabing67]

Macey is coming in as a permanent and with Dabrowski being recalled I can’t help but think Rocky is away.

Hes been out for a couple of weeks leading up to January with a tight calf I think it is. Maybe he wants one last pay day and we’re getting a small fee to get him now.



It says Macey is only here to the end of the season so hopefully rocky is going nowhere

[badabing67]

Someone on twitter says there's an option to extend.

Does anyone know what Rocky's injury is, he went of with a calf problem just wondering if that is still the issue. Would be good to know.

[badabing67]

Didn’t think I’d see the day that somebody failed to win a deal at Hibs so went on trial to the European Champions instead.

It is just because Dallas has a partnership with Bayern.

[Unseen work]

He will sign a 6 month ‘permanent’ contract with us.

During this he will be unbelievable and he will speak about how good it is to have a young keeper with his prime years ahead of him. How much ability he has but also experience and ability to command his box for only being 26.

Months leading up to the summer window we will be hoping he will sign an extension.

Celtic will sign him for free.

[badabing67]

With the state Motherwell are in just now Stephen O'Donnell only signed a 6 month contract at the start of the season. Do you think he could make the Scotland squad for the Euro's if he stays there, he must be wondering about his next move.

Going by the play-off squad could see the likes of Burke, Paterson and Shankland all not making the final squad.

[brog]

You have missed Ronnie Simpson Brog

It was deliberate, honest! Ronnie came in after the four I mentioned & basically was 1st choice until Stein freed him & then signed him for Celtc! Billy Wilson lost his place to Ronnie then regained it after he left though Thomson Allan was #1 for a season or 2 IIRC. There was also Jack Reilly at that time, mid 60s an Oz internationalist IIRC!
The 80s must have been our golden era with Rough, Leighton, Goram & Gunn all in goal for us!

[Gmack7]

[SteveHFC]

Think we sorted in the defence and midfield department but a few places upfront for grabs.

[hibbysam]

Think we sorted in the defence and midfield department but a few places upfront for grabs.

I’d say we were sorted in the middle of the park and the left side of defence. The right side of defence is still nowhere near good enough, although we will be loyal to those players.

McTominay should be in midfield with McGinn and Armstrong, but he will play him right centre half because there isn’t anyone else, Gallagher and O’Donnell are shipping goals week after week in the league but their Scottish performances will give them some grace.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Don’t think Serie B is a great level. Not sure the pace and intensity is enough in that league to see him getting picked ahead of players in Scotland or England.

[04Sauzee]

Paddy Martin extends his loan deal at Stenhousmuir.

[Cat Stanton]

Don’t think Serie B is a great level. Not sure the pace and intensity is enough in that league to see him getting picked ahead of players in Scotland or England.

Nasal Naismith is in the Scottish Serie B which is a much lower level, and he seems to still be in contention.

[CMurdoch]

Don’t think Serie B is a great level. Not sure the pace and intensity is enough in that league to see him getting picked ahead of players in Scotland or England.

It's very much small time compared to the English Championship.
To give you an idea Hibs sold more season tickets this season than the average home attendance of the best supported club in Serie B last season!
Henderson is a midfield player and Scotland has loads of players in that position that are better than he is. On the upside for young Mr Henderson, the average temperature in Lecce in January is 13 degrees while it is 10 degrees less here. Wish I was there!

[MWHIBBIES]

Celtic will sign him for free.
I think its okay to only sign him for 6 months. Not ideal, especially if he does well, but it leaves us with no commitments in that position next summer which may allow us to bring in someone really good (club probably has no idea on next seasons budget yet)

[CMurdoch]

Nasal Naismith is in the Scottish Serie B which is a much lower level, and he seems to still be in contention.

Nah, he's done. Father time doing his thing.

[CMurdoch]

Paterson being 1 who should be nowhere near the squad. Not becuase he's ex Hearts he just isnt very good.

and is performing poorly for his new club Sheff Wed. As you say just not very good. Can see him eventually landing back on Hearts doorstep where he would do a good job.

I’d be stunned if Burke went. In fact I’m still stunned Burke got a move to the PL.

His goals assists stats since he left Forest are absolutely awful. He’s fast and powerful but that’s about it. His touch is abysmal.

Assuming he can catch, i reckon he’d make decent rugby winger 🏉

[degenerated]

Thomson Allan and Willie Wilson for me.Jim McArthur and Mike Mcdonald for me

Midfield is where we’re best stocked though, John Fleck and Gilmour are premiership players who weren’t in the squad last time out that will fancy themselves. Add to that you then have Gauld and Turnbull both also playing at a much higher level. Unless he’s playing regularly in serie A Henderson has no chance of even getting thought about nevermind picked for a squad

Incredibly we let Lawrie go to Airdrie where he was capped by Scotland & he went on to West Ham & Millwall amongst others. Similarly Thomson Allan was capped after we let him go to Dundee.



In my memory Thomson Allan was a nightmare at Hibs ,contributed to a few drubbings but certainly seemed to much better at Dundee ,indeed think he was capped!

[calumhibee1]

Unless Shankland has a stormer from now on in he shouldn’t even be considered.

Gilmour should be begging to go out on loan. If he could get playing every week in certain he’d be in the squad.

Tbh, as much as I wouldn’t want to see it, he could do worse than go back to Rangers and get some first team football, win a league, possibly a cup and get some European games under his belt before going to the Euros. Would seem much more beneficial to him than kicking his heels down there.

Roddy Mac was Turnbull's most bizarre signing. We scored 19 goals in 4 games against Airdrie in 72/73 season then signed their keeper! Roddy shipped 4 goals on his debut against Dumbarton, another 4 at Tiny 2 weeks later, played another 7 games in total & was emptied to Clydebank. We finished 2nd in the league that season & lost 5 league games all season, 3 of which were when Roddy was in goal. Roddy never kept a clean sheet in the league. If Jim Herriott had remained we could have won the league.

I looked at a Plymouth fans forum yesterday and found they were pretty negative about the guy but it was a relegation season and you see the meltdown on here when we lost a couple of games.
In essence they said he is a great shot stopper but stayed on his line, not vocal, pushed shots into danger, poor distribution etc.
When I read up about Barnes on a fans forums before his arrival it was similarly negative.
As ever time will tell and it's better to judge the guy on what you see yourself rather than what you read on a forum.

About 35 years ago I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Hibs hero Alan Gordon, the best header of a ball I have ever seen. We talked about several things including the 4-1 game. He told me the morning of the game Eddie Turnbull took the team to the Commonwealth Pool for a sauna. A.G said they all came out afterwards knackered, they had no energy. He said this was the reason we lost, no doubt in his mind.

Incredible. Only Hibs!

[ancient hibee]

The trouble with Roddy who also used to make fantastic saves against us was,I think,that he just got used to losing goals.Airdrie got some hammerings but the reports usually said that it would have been a lot worse but for him.I couldn’t understand why we signed him. In my time watching Hibs we’ve had most of the all time best Scottish goalies playing for us plus a good few who wouldn’t have got a game in my BB team.

So, has anyone signed yet...

Players have had a few days off, back today so things should happen soon.

When we played them in the championship he caused our full backs all kind of problems with his clever movement and speed. He seemed brave on the ball and was always looking to make things happen. A rough diamond but very similar to Boyle when we signed him.

[Bostonhibby]

I looked at a Plymouth fans forum yesterday and found they were pretty negative about the guy but it was a relegation season and you see the meltdown on here when we lost a couple of games.
In essence they said he is a great shot stopper but stayed on his line, not vocal, pushed shots into danger, poor distribution etc.
When I read up about Barnes on a fans forums before his arrival it was similarly negative.
As ever time will tell and it's better to judge the guy on what you see yourself rather than what you read on a forum.

My good friend is an Arsenal fanatic, born 2 minutes from the old Highbury. He says Arsenal have "churned through a few keepers all of whom looked better than Macey. There's a reason he struggles to get a game, big lad but doesn't command the box".

Who knows. If Rocky is out maybe Dabrowski gets a chance and this guy is cover?

Played who? He played us twice for Dunfermline and twice for St mirren (discounting a couple of times he played a few minutes at the death), and apart from scoring once I genuinely can’t remember him playing at all. He was anonymous at tannadice in the cup as well. I’d suggest he’s probably a bit like Keatings and the championship is his level.

Yeah, pretty much what I read yesterday.
If he does the business we are in pole position to sign him.
If not he will leave in the summer.
I would like Dabrowski to go back to Dumbarton and again a decision needs to be made about his future after that.
Certainly deserves a chance to show if he can be our keeper.

[AdidasHibernian]

Really hope we make a serious effort to try and sign Thomas Robert from Airdrie.
Maybe not happen this window but hopefully if we can get him even at the end of the season we must try. Looks a great prospect and exactly the kind of signing we can make into a SJM/Nisbet signing. Comes here, plays well for a few years and developes, then gets a decent move and us some decent profit.

Plus my English team is Newcastle and Lauren Robert was one of my favourite players back in the day when Newcastle were worth watching when they were actually decent so straight away have a soft spot for his laddie. 😂

I think it is.

He's done well everywhere he's been.

They've in a bit of bother right now but still have some decent players there, they've also got a happy knack of finding or creating decent players too.

Next time we play them I expect them to be a different proposition to the last time, which was an uncharacteristically poor Motherwell performance.

He'll appreciate the Motherwell job after the Salford job he's just left. After watching the Sky documentary about Salford the owners are hell bent on getting all the way through the leagues which comes with some pressure for the manager. Something like 4 promotions in 5 years.

I loved Jason Cummings at Hibs and there were some great memories in that time, but while there was a period I would have hated to see him re- sign for Hearts and would have liked to have him back at Hibs, enough time has passed since those days to make me unconcerned about any move to Tynecastle should it materialise. Doubt he would be a player on our radar or one that would get Hibs fans too excited 4 years down the line.

I think we enjoyed the best of Jason Cummings.

[The Sundance Kid]

Wonder who will play against Celtic which is 4 days away. (3 training days possibly).

Absolute conjecture on my part here but I do wonder whether Macey is being signed predominantly with the semi-final in mind. Going by Ross' comments today, it appears that Marciano may be a doubt for the semi-final and Dabrowski has already played in the competition for Dumbarton so will be cup-tied. Therefore, we would need a keeper signed for this game even if Dabrowski is seen as being good enough to be Marciano's main back-up for the rest of the season.

Do hope if this is the case that Macey gets a run-out in one of the two games before the semi-final though, as he hasn't played at all this season or last so he could do with getting a game or two under his belt. Although in saying that, the last time we gave a keeper a debut in a cup semi-final when they hadn't played for the previous 18 months went not too badly!

Total guesswork from me though so may well be that Macey is seen as being Marciano's main competition for the rest of the season.

My mates an Airdrie fan and says he's a great talent. Granted he's not played much in terms of games in total but he's played almost every game for them since he joined I'm sure.
He's a superb raw talent apparently, so would love us to try get him and give him a chance.

And the time before that when we gave a keeper a debut in an important European game he chucked one in within 10 seconds! That goal being the difference between us going through or not in the end. That one still annoys me [emoji23]

On a more serious note, I totally agree that he should be given the upcoming league games to get up to speed before the cup game if that's what he's coming in for as it's one of our most important games of the season.

He honestly wasn't bad at all for The Rangers considering he was mainly used as a wide option. The few huns I know would have happily signed him.

Some players just fit clubs. Think Cummings is one of those players at Hibs. I'd personally much rather take a punt in JC and see if he can get going again than let him find his mojo again at them and come back to bite us.

I'd have Cummings over Gullan every day of the week. Not even close. And right now, over Doidge as well. Give JC the chances he's had lately and he would have scored. And yes, I do remember the miss at Raith! Haha

I was never JCs biggest fan, and I'm not surprised he hasnt cut it down south, because his overall game was not that developed.

However, i kinda agree with others that his attitude and X factor make him worth a go.

I think this current side lacks a bit of attitude at times, and JC would certainly bring that.

Id say yes, hes worth a punt.

Yeah he hasn't played a single competitive game for them this season by the looks of it. Would be a good option to have, and maybe give him a platform to try and earn a Euro squad spot.

I'm sure, like Lindsay, there will be plenty of Scottish players that aren't getting as much game time this year, who would jump at the chance for regular football ahead of the Euros.

[Winston Ingram]

He was decent for Sevco but he was never going to get signed by them. As a striker he has to play in a front 2. The problem with that is that top attacking teams don’t play with a front 2. That issue was always going to stunt his career.

As a wide player, he’s nowhere near as affective. Shrewsbury play a 343 and tried to play him there this season, it didn’t work and he’s been bombed.

The difference with Gullan is that he can play wide, and I’d argue he’s actually better off the left than through the middle.

I’d take Cummings back too, something different from what we currently have. Would hate to see him sign for them.

[BSEJVT]

I do like the fact that our incoming signings are usually found guilty before they have even been charged :confused:

On the basis that even our established players completely divide the support as to their relative merits, I really wouldn't be paying too much attention to what another support thought about a player.

Stats show us that for every person who writes to a supplier to say well done, at least 10 write to complain.

It's reasonable to extrapolate from that that folk are more likely to post something somewhere saying a player is terrible than to go on and say he is great.

This site would prove that theory.

The sad fact of this is that once someone has made their mind up about a player, we find it difficult to change our minds even in the face of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary

Maybe it would be a better idea to give the guy a chance and come to our own conclusions without being influenced by others likely unbalanced opinions?

The fact that he was a consistent goalscorer, irregardless of opposition, suggests he did try. I would say that he was a good striker for us no matter who we were playing, who was also always up for big games.

[MikeyS]

You look at the signing and think he was at Arsenal and think he must be decent.

Then you look more closely and see he's 26 and has barely managed 50 senior appearances in his entire career

It's not that uncommon for goalies that come through at the big sides - it doesn't seem a bad gig being a back up keeper in England. I'll bet he has been on great wages for years too!

To be fair, that’s a similar cv to Martinez who Villa signed and looks to be a good keeper. No idea if Macey will be any good, but Arsenal seem to have a habit of stockpiling keepers who will never get near their first team and who appear happy to earn a good living without ever playing.

Hearts signing Mackay-Stevens

Great signing for them. Wish we got him. I hope he turns out to be absolute ***** for them though.

[Rumble de Thump]

I get the impression that certain players are just desperate to move to clubs where they're guarenteed game time in the hope they might squeeze their way into the Scotland squad in time for the Euros.

[1875Sean]

Hearts signing Mackay-Stevens

Good singing for them, would have taken him here

[04Sauzee]

Gary Mackay-Steven will undergo a medical with Heart of Midlothian today.
The winger looks set to sign a 2 1/2 year deal with the Scottish Championship club. Mackay-Steven did have initial talks with former club Aberdeen but is now set to join the Edinburgh club https://t.co/z7mzPDxMoD

[Heisenberg]

GMS to Hearts. Aberdeen apparently unable to afford any new signings unless players are sold.

[Aldo]

He may have been. So they are still pumping money into an already large squad

Couple of goals and assists in near enough 40 games in America I’d be slightly underwhelmed. Even when at Aberdeen last time out he wasn’t some top player, Efe just made him look one at Pittodrie.

[Saint Hibee]

I'd take JC back just for derbies. All respect to Doidge and Nisbet but vs Hearts, Jason would've been all over that semi final.

Yep, he's got the personality and passion we frequently seem to be lacking.

[Souter96Mac]

Eh? Great signing for Hearts. Surprised by this one.

[Winston Ingram]

Sorry but that's absolute nonsense. I take it you never saw Derek Riordan play?

[Stuart93]

Decent signing for hearts.

I’m no sure if another ageing winger is what we’d need mind you.

[Winston Ingram]

Hearts signing Mackay-Stevens

Gutted about that. He would have been ideal for us

[davhibby]

I don’t think he’s that good however he always has his best games against us which isn’t great with him going to them

[keep the faith]

GMS would have been an ideal signing for us. Always played well at ER.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Wish we could get deals done early!

[bingo70]

Was GMS not pretty ***** in his last season for Aberdeen?

Don’t really care if he’s a good signing for them not, they’ll win the league with or without him and we are unlikely to play them this season anyway.

[04Sauzee]

🆕 Matt Macey is a Hibee! 👊

📝 We're pleased to confirm the signing of the 6ft 7in, 26-year-old goalkeeper from Arsenal, subject to international clearance.

💪 Matt will compete with Ofir Marciano and Kevin Dabrowski for a starting spot.

🤝 @InStatFootball.

[Allez Hibs]

Will be very dissapointing if Hibs didn't try and sign GMS?

Prepare to be disappointed then because we’re not wanting him

Some ambition from him

[Heisenberg]

Do we need another left winger? I’d suggest other areas need strengthened first.

[The Count]

Eh? Great signing for Hearts. Surprised by this one.

Is the Union Canal or Water of Leith deep enough for swimming?

[MWHIBBIES]

Two words: Daniel Boateng

One word: irrelevant

We've had plenty of good players who played for Arsenal. Stokes, Shiels and Stack being 3 obvious ones.

[Vault Boy]

Welcome to the Hibees, Matt.

[weecounty hibby]

GMS is a decent signing. Probably would have taken him at ER. Good to see the tarts still chucking money away though. Another costly addition to an already costly squad

[California-Hibs]

He admitted on the Si Ferry podcast that believe it or not he's actually a Hibee. I think if we had been in for him he'd definitely have been interested..

[Allez Hibs]

A much better option than Drey Wright.

We don't seem to sign any players with something about them who will stand up for themselves.

I think that needs addressed.

I'm sure they'll miraculously be able to afford whoever we're about to sign nae bother.

We did that when we signed Heckingbottom's numpties. That didn't work out all that wonderfully.

No a real one if hes joining them.

Any more than Danny Swanson?

If they can get Brophy on board they’re in a really good state. Building a decent team

What does that even mean?

[badabing67]

Wonder how long GMS signed for

[easty]

Do we need another left winger? I’d suggest other areas need strengthened first.

We definitely do. If Murphy doesn’t play we, and he seems to rarely play, we have to stick someone out there who isn’t a winger, its really noticeable in our play.

[JohnM1875]

Wonder how long GMS signed for

2 and half years apparently.

[Magpie]

Wonder how long GMS signed for

2 & 1/2 years according to Sky

[Andy74]

Anyway, Hibs signed a player....

[easty]

I’d take Cummings back, always surprises me the lack of respect he gets on here. The guy was great to have in the dressing room, and scored a load of goals on the pitch, all kinds of goals tae.

What’s not to like?

[Magpie]

I agree. I think an alternative option out there would be good. I felt as if we were missing that creativity there against Rangers recently.

[MikeyS]

It's been covered previously he is sh*te cos Daniel Boateng came from Arsenal about 10 years ago too! 😉

And was a very decent footballer imo. Something which a lot of people seem to say he wasn’t.

[MikeyS]

He wasnt good enough to make it down south and it was obvious to all but I'd have him back. Certainly a better footballer than Doidge is & a more natural finisher too.

[FilipinoHibs]

4 goals in 35 appearances for Shrewsbury who are in 3rd tier of English football. Something has gone wrong.

[Tyler Durden]

Sorry but that's absolute nonsense. I take it you never saw Derek Riordan play?

Are you slagging off Riordan too now?

You seem to be moaning that Cummings and Riordan both scored goals without working hard. That’s quite a skill and personally I wouldn’t say no to a bit more of that, should JC return.

[The 90+2]

2 and half years apparently.

That’s some signing for them. Unfortunately because of the money they make each month they will be able to afford such players.

[GreenCastle]

GMS loves to score against Hibs...not ideal he’s signing for Hearts.

Would have taken him at Hibs especially since we can’t seem to find a left winger who plays regularly.

Compare to Boyle on the right who plays every week - left wing seems to have been an issue for a while.

[Heisenberg]

Doesn’t look prolific but has certainly played at a decent level. Could be a good one for St Mirren.
