Summer 2021-22 transfer thread

[neil7908]

Chris Cadden out for up to 8 weeks with a thigh injury. Not ideal and leaves us short of cover on the right side again.

I'd really like to see us in for Rooney at St Johnstone now.

Not for me ..dangerous going forward and set pieces , but doesn’t look a strong defender …

[J-C]

Cadden out for 8 weeks is a bit of a concern, long contract and looking at the moment pretty injury prone. Murphy seems another plus Mackie, let's hope any new players that come in are a lot healthier injury wise.

[GreenCastle]

Seems players who have had longer injuries come back regularly and get muscular injuries. Did he start against Stoke too soon ? Maybe better if he had come on / been eased into it after being out for so long.

Annoying about Cadden as he was starting to play well and got injured in April. Missed 10 games now due to injury. Hope he gets better soon.

[Callum_62]

Has Cadden actually been injury prone or have we and him just been unfortunate since signing?

I've only noticed him playing v Hibs and to be fair, he defended well enough to me. I'd be happy to see him at ER. The news about Cadden's injury is really disappointing and it leaves McGinn as the only right back in the first team squad.

He wasn’t injured in MLS - but then didn’t play much.

He tore his petalla tendon at Motherwell and was out for 4 months.

Had his back injury at Hibs

Been looking but can't see any injury issues, seems Covid helped us sign him as he wanted to be near his family but so far no injury worries, might be a case of just being unlucky.

He’s been a bit unlucky and maybe the thigh injury was due to playing an actual game too early. Bearing in mind he hadn’t kicked a ball since April due to his back injury, possibly should have had more training time first

Hindsight eh

Personally I think a lot of that will depend on what happens with Nisbet. Also Martin Boyle, after his performances last season I’d be really surprised if no English team is willing to take a punt on him for £500k.

Magennis can play there. If he stays fit could be a top guy for us this season. Maybe Magennis & Cadden could job share? :wink:

If it boiled (no pun intended) down to holding on to Nisbet and Boyle or selling them to finance a ‘marquee type signing’, I would prefer the former.

Same. Was concerned Nisbet had gone off the boil a bit but he looks happy to stay; if he zips it for a season/half season on the provisio that we'll accept an offer for him if it meets our asking price, that'll be better than rummaging around for a striker.

Boyle can leave whenever he wants. He's more than earned it. Will be gutted though.

Agreed. A club like Hibs should only sign good players, waste of time identifying and signing bad ones. Common sense innit?

Me too Jim, more so Boyle as we’d have a real difficulty signing a replacement for £500K. Although replacing Nisbet won’t be easy either at least we’d get decent money for him.

As I’ve already said, I would be happy if the window closed tomorrow and we go with what we have. I’ve got a hunch that we might bring in a player from outwith the UK, maybe European or, with his US connections, Ron Gordon might find us a player from over the pond. Reason being, I was reading an article about MLS and the number of young players over there who would like a taste of European football. I won’t hold my breath though.:greengrin

[04Sauzee]

This is what Callum Davidson had to say about his in demand players, although I wouldn't have expected him to say anything less tbh ⬇️

Callum Davidson remains hopeful of retaining his in-demand players, although accepts that if offers come in that are "acceptable and reasonable", that situation could change.

CD: "The players are desperate to do well and it's a good platform for them to play, European football is a good carrot for them to test themselves against the top teams. I'd like to hold onto them all but it might not be possible."

[Greenworld]

James and Mallan out free's up quite a bit of money.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Mackie, Gullan or Hallberg leave either never mind the ones likely go get us big fee's.

Hopefully McCart is one we get over the line. I saw a journalist on Twitter expects us to go back with an improved offer.Got a message yesterday from someone who knows a agent saying we have increased offers for mccart and odoffin ,Interestingly he did not play for hamilton yesterday not even in the squad.

Different players develop at different rates. He might be an Ian Wright or a Jamie Vardy. I also don't know much about what the USA is like for developing young players - what age are they expected to make the breakthrough there?

I think we've got to offer a guy like this - a foot in the door at a European club. Quite a few players now have gone on to good careers from Hibs over the years. Whilst we might not offer much cold, hard cash ourselves, we are a league that English clubs will be paying attention to. There's no real good reason why we shouldn't capitalise on the odd player who wants to play well for us as a stepping stone to something more lucrative elsewhere that might not necessarily be on the cards for a bit part MLS player.

We don't want a team full of them, but the odd one could be very handy for all parties.

Imo most of the teams would be mid table Scottish Premiership.

The top couple of teams I’d say are usually of a standard short of the old firm but a decent bit better than anyone else with the worst teams being about relegation standard in the Scottish Premiership.

It’s a hugely different league though with teams having players of wildly varying abilities making up their squads. Nothing like in Europe where teams usually try and make a squad of similar standard players. So signing a teams best player could be an outstanding move, signing their worst could be a very bad move, a lot more so than signing players from European teams.

Most teams probably have a group of players that I’d expect us to have no chance of signing and Mueller would have been one of them imo. Daryl Dike, Nani, Mendez, Alvarado and Pato being the others in that category from Orlando.

Cheers Calum.

If we can get this lad in it sounds like a very promising signing.

Played twice for the USA national team and looks like he scored twice. He's a right winger who can play in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1. I just think think this guy is out of our wage structure, not convinced it's Hibs he will be coming to but would be more than happy to be wrong.

I wonder if this guy is signing if we have an agreement in place to sell Boyle in January providing he has a good start to the season?

The club are very clever and astute when it comes to strategic planning and it wouldn’t surprise me one bit.

[AlbertK86]

I’ll leave it to the people that watch them every day.

Agree. JR has shown he will play a youngster IF he and his coaching team believe they are ready. Tends to put in give a taste then protect and reintroduce gradually. Did that initially with Doig but he made such an impression he became a mainstay due to the balance and undoubted attacking threat he provided.

Pretty confident JR will give the likes of Laidlaw, O’Connor and Connor Young their chance to make an impact when he believes it is the optimum time to do so.

More likely to be a replacement for Jamie Murphy I’d have thought. He’s out of contract next summer and his injury record isn’t likely to improve as he gets older.

That's the problem we have been having for years with attitude like that. We said the same about Oli Shaw, said the same about Ross Campbell and most recently Gullan... . You're never too young, in order for laidlaw and O'Connor to develop they need to be playing. Give them a chance get them on the bench.
Who do you think has the best idea if these players are good enough for 1st team football, management who see them every day, or fans who've never seen them. It's as if we don't need managers and coaches.

[Paloschi]

I watch a lot of mls and listen to mls podcasts and if we pull this off then it will be a great signing. I would actually be surprised as he is one of the better players in the league and see his level as a Celtic/ Rangers more than us. He isn’t really a Boyle or Nisbet type, more of a Murphy type inside forward on the left but can play as a 10 or a 9 too. Not prolific but dynamic and dangerous. Really good player and only 24!

The standard of the MLS is easily better than in Scotland. Squads don’t have depth but there are some very good players both homegrown and imported from South America. It’s an interesting move from the player and the club. Let’s see how it pans out.

[500miles]

The guy will be 25 in a month. Has played only a little over a 100 senior MLS games and 1 International.
game. 3 million sounds expensive based on those numbers and counts out every Scottish team outwith the old firm.

Don't a lot of American players come through a college system? That would possibly mean he wouldn't be eligible for the MLS until 21/22, plus allowing for covid shut downs and shorter seasons in the US.

[andrew70]

Good shout. Fingers crossed he’s coming to us.

[J-C]

MLS teams have a strict wage structure and have limits on the number of foreign players they can have in the squad. Mueller sounds too good for us and is more and OF type signing, probably Celtic, the only way I see him coming here if Ron has used his contacts over there.

This seems to suggest his salary at Orlando is $137k which is around about £100k a year

We are definitely in a position to sign him on higher wages than that with the prospect of putting him in the shop window for a bigger move within the European market.

[SHODAN]

Would be great if it's us, even more so a pre-contract.

Can I just say how wonderful it is to come onto this thread in the morning to find an actual transfer rumour on here about Hibs!! Not only that but a genuine and exciting one. Looking at Orlando's wage cap he is within our salary budget, if he signs a pre-contract he should get a decent signing on fee and he looks like a good player (caveat I have only seen the Youtube vid above). Has the same sort of level of scoring as Boyler, looks like he has some pace too. Whats not to like? :greengrin

His goals and assists record is good. He has played for the international team twice and on debut scored twice and got MOM. He is a very popular player with fans and teammates, is strong and quick and plays across the front positions.

If we have secured him then that’s a fantastic deal. My gut feel is he will be a step up from us and possibly Celtic.

See the daily record have picked up on him. Says he’s signed a pre contract with a Scottish club (which we knew) but only noting Celtic, Rangers and Aberdeen as having an interest. All speculation mind you

I had a quick look on FM and his wage on there was £1650 pw which is around the £100k per year mark, add £1k pw to his wage with a view to putting him in the window for a bigger move and a % of any transfer to Orlando, this could be done.

More options in the front 3 positions, Bradley is still young and will be seen as backup, Mackay is good but Murphy is still injury prone and missing too often, Wright is a bench warmer at best, we need another player like this to be a 1st choice when fit. It gives us a lot of options up top if these rumours are true, make it happen Ron.

Lower our asking price by 50%? Aye nae bother.

If they think he’s potentially good enough for English premiership football why do they think he’s only worth £2.5m?

Premiership level full backs cost £10-15m at least so even at £5m they’re getting a deal.

Thing that gets me is they’d easily pay that sort of money for a 16 year old with potential from another English club.

[neil7908]

Yup. Tired of our league getting the piss taken out of it by teams down south. He's on a long contract so no rush from Hibs to sell. Other bidders will come along.

Chris Mueller Hibs Bound..!!


https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-transfer-news/chris-mueller-set-hibs-transfer-24592013

For anyone who doesn’t want to give them the visit -

Hibs are set to sign US international Chris Mueller on a pre-contract agreement.
The 24-year-old winger will leave Orlando City at the end of Major League Soccer season on freedom of contract.

Mueller, who has two caps, has agreed a pre-contract with Jack Ross ' side and is set to move to Easter Road in January.

An Orlando City statement said: ‘Orlando City SC and Chris Mueller have been involved in contract negotiations for some time, with the forward’s contract set to expire following the 2021 Major League Soccer season.
"Earlier, Mueller informed the club that he has signed a pre-contract to join a European team upon the end of his time with Orlando City.

The pre-contract was signed in line with all FIFA regulations.

As noted, Mueller’s contract with Orlando City is valid through the end of the 2021 MLS season and will continue as a member of the Lions’ roster for the remainder of his time in Orlando.’

He has two caps and scored two goals on his US debut against El Salvador.
The American market is one that Hibs have been looking at closely through their US owner Ron Gordon.
The clubs also have a tie up a deal to bring Charleston Battery to the Scottish Premiership.

2018 - Runner up in the Rookie of the year award

The above is all quite random but with that in mind, how highly everyone seems to rate him and his age he seems a real coup. He also seems an intelligent and motivated guy and has released a book.

Congratulations on being first to report this last night.
Well ahead of the media and everyone else.

The Kickback progression on their transfer thread, with the news first breaking he’s leaving Orlando, to he’s signing for Hearts - amazing signing, to he’s signing for Hibs so he’s *****, over the course of 4 pages is beautiful. Check it out.

It's genuinely art. Get those posts collated and send them to the Tate.

Brilliant reading that. The second coming to second rate in four pages

Going by the Mathie interview there won't be much chance of us selling him on the cheap. Pleased with that though!

Don’t have too, he’s under a long contract
Has a great 2nd season, could be worth a whole lot more

The EEN saying that it's Ron's son Ian that's leading the talks. They're also reporting that "a pre-contract deal has been agreed" but with no other sources or details.

Heard that Ron's son Ian and his wife are moving here. Most likely Ian will be the new chief executive.

From Orlando to Edinburgh in January, hope you can buy woolies in Orlando.
Total unknown but with good reports I hope he lives up to expectations.

£5M is like a loaf of bread for Arsenal. We should be asking them to double it.

Brexit means the market's smaller and Scottish players are worth more. Deal with it.

:agree:

£10m for Doig or GTF, simple.

Bumped into him in the car park at Easter road and said we are just about to announce a new player. Not sure if it’s on the pre contract or signing straight away. the guy is an absolute gentleman, took time to chat with my 8 year old daughter for ages😀

I’ll not get excited until it’s officially announced and there is a photo of him with a scarf over his head in front of the East!

O and superb out of nowhere rumour.

PS… Budge and co will be scrambling about with a double your wages offer to him, even though it’s reported he’s already sign!
