Summer 2021-22 transfer thread

[HendoDelivered]

Cedric Kipre anyone?

No chance of happening.

[Andy74]

Cedric Kipre anyone?

Not getting a game for West Brom and was loaned out to Belgium last season. He's a big lad and a bit of a beast - would certainly be something different at the back. Think he has played in midfield when needed too for Motherwell.

Anything in it or just a suggestion?

[bingo70]

No chance of happening.

I thought that too. Sure he was a £4m signing last summer.

Just checked though and he spent the last 6 months of last season on loan at Charleroi. Doesn’t seem unreasonable that we could get him on loan if they could.

Every chance West Brom’s new manager doesn’t rate him.

[J-C]

Every chance Gulllan will be back at Raith before end of window.


Do you reckon on a permanent, since he's been back Ross hasn't really used him, even in the pre season friendlies he was just getting 20 mins or so. There comes a time just like Shaw and Fraser Murray that playing is more important and sometimes and move like this is best for your career. I watched Murray play the full 90 mins for Killie last night and did OK, maybe the having less pressure of playing for Hibs help these lads and lower SPFL/Championship is their level.

I think Gullan has no chance now of being here longer term. We're still after another striker and Mueller is coming in - and he's not getting a look in even before we make those moves.

He seemed to click at Raith so he's obviously decent enough at that level and who knows from there? Certainly has talent.

Id tend to agree although really wanted him to do well. I thought he might make it when he first started getting exposure to the first team. Better for him to move & keep his development going, still think he could be a really go player, just not for us at the moment.

Unfortunately i just don't think he's a Hibs level player.

I’d be more than happy if we managed to secure his services, even a loan deal for season!

Don't think it's about being Hibs level, more the level we want to be at, if we were happy to just make top 6 every year then Gullan is ok but we're looking at 2nd/3rd nowadays and you can see by bringing in Mueller the way the squad is going, top quality young exciting talent. All it means is Gullan, like Murray and Sha has stalled in his development, they're not bad players just not the level we need them to be.

[mal]

Probably a knock or a personal issue because the other guys not involved, Gullan, Cadden and Bradley I think, we're all walking about with the squad.

Ross rates Wright imo. Likes that he can play different positions and works hard in them all. He is a good squad player

Maybe he's leaving? I think the Ross Co manager said they're hoping to get 3 players in this week. Wright is probably about their level so it wouldn't be a shock if he went there.

[MWHIBBIES]

I really don't see how we can make comments like this about Jamie. He's started 4 games for Hibs, 1 in the League, but scored 3 goals. It's unfair IMO to judge him coming off the bench for 15 minute cameos. He just turned 22 last month, at 22 Nisbet was about to move from Raith to Dunfermline, & both Jamie & Kevin were POTY at Raith. Personally I think Jamie could easily be groomed to do the role Murphy did on Sunday. Goodness knows how many games we'll get from Jamie M. If we let Jamie G go I hope we build in decent buy back and/or sell on clauses.

[Paloschi]

Ex Motherwell. You just throwing this in, or know something

Just throwing it in there. Not ITK. I think a loan deal could be done if he isn’t in West Broms plans. Him and Porto/Hanlon would be solid imo.

[Onceinawhile]

After living in Birmingham, charleroi, Wigan and motherwell I'm sure he'd jump at the chance to live in Edinburgh.

Poor guy!

[04Sauzee]

I really hope we've considered, or are considering him, looked a real talent at 'Well.

Hull city fans seem to think it will be a permanent deal. That would be a decent signing.

West Brom got him cheap when Wigan had financial difficulties. Think they paid about £1m.

[Unseen work]

James Scott is a top player with lots of potential, it would be an outstanding signing for St Mirren.

Like I said before if he is on the move we should be all over it.

Can play anywhere across the front 3 and create something out of nothing.

[Smartie]

Has Tom James definitely left?

He’ll still be having nightmares about James Scott, I’m fairly sure.

Absolutely tore him apart at Motherwell that time.

I like Gullan but I have a feeling Ross isn't convinced about his or he'd be getting more game time, there comes a time when the player has to decide to either take the decent wage at Hibs or move for the sake of his career. Young Murray did just that and he played the full 90 mins for Killie yesterday and did quite well.

[Billy Whizz]

He’s away on a season long loan, then out of contract

[JimBHibees]

He is a psycho though! Makes the current England custodian seem calm and collected!

Honestly never seen that in Hart in the past

[J-C]

He’s away on a season long loan, then out of contract


At least his wages(or part of) will be covered, don't understand why we can't just rip up his contract mutually and allow him to sign somewhere permanently.

[Torto7]

Scott has got major flaws in his game,a a bit like Jake Hastie. Its a good signing for St Mirren but he's far from the finished article and was poor for Hull.

[GloryGlory]

[Unseen work]

Sorry but that is incredible harsh.

In his breakthrough season he was a stand out for Motherwell and scored a good amount of goals before earning a 1 million pound move to Hull.

At Hull he got an injury almost instantly and was out for quite a while with it. Hull were flying and he struggled with his injuries.

For a player in that position he has everything I would want. He’s fast, tall, direct and can score or create out of nothing, with both feet.

He’s still only 20, kits of potential and for me would be the sort of player our fans would love.

[04Sauzee]

Hamilton fans reckon they got £300k for Odoffin.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

3 weeks today till window closes?

Assuming any further "major" signings will come when Doig leaves. Ideally a CB with a Striker coming in too.

Still feel we missed out on Scott Brown. We finished 3rd and progressed to latter stages of cup so clearly a successful season but just something niggles away in my mind that we needed someone with his mindset in the middle of the park

Very surprised Celtic havent come along and nabbed Boyle tbh. Keeping him, Nisbet and Porto would be great news

Report just out that he has to isolate as he has just come back from a break in the Caribbean and he will back in training at the end of the week. It’s all been blown out of proportion it seems.

[Magpie]

He went to the Bahamas which is on the amber list meaning he would have to self isolate for 10 days if he is not fully vaccinated which I assume he’s not if he’s having to isolate. It could all be nonsense but I’m just going by what’s being reported.

Lol.

They’d have confirmed that yesterday if it were true.

[brog]

Taking it rather personally are you not, we have to look at what's happening right now, he wasn't on the bench at on on Sunday and has hardly featured during pre season except the Dunfermline game. I like Gullan but I have a feeling Ross isn't convinced about his or he'd be getting more game time, there comes a time when the player has to decide to either take the decent wage at Hibs or move for the sake of his career. Young Murray did just that and he played the full 90 mins for Killie yesterday and did quite well.

Firstly, apologies, I meant to reply to the post which said Gullan wasn't at Hibs level. I'm not taking anything personally, I actually agree all your comments above but they don't address Jamie's ability. As I said, Jamie has started 1 league game for Hibs, away at Aberdeen, a game we were dominating until Whittaker was sent off. Jamie was then sacrificed for Hallberg in a vain attempt to hold on to a point. That was last game pre pandemic & Jamie hasn't started a league game since. In fact Jamie has never played 90 minutes in a league game for Hibs. I was interested in many of the recent comments from people who said they couldn't believe how good Nisbet was when they finally saw him in the flesh. Given no more than a few hundred Hibs fans can have seen Jamie (live) start a league game, I fail to see how anyone can say he's not at Hibs level, particularly given the comparisons with Nisbet at the same age.
One thing is certain, it's impossible to impress if you don't get a chance to play.

[GordonHFC]

Who you or Hibs 😂

Hibs

[WhileTheChief..]

:agree: I can't imagine Hibs being in for him either.

More likely PlanetFootball making us aware of a few players who are available and the EEN then saying we're interested.

I've got him in my FM game at Nottingham forest. Hasn't made the breakthrough into the first team. I thought he was a generated player

Scott no go for Saints
St Mirren have pulled out of the running to bring former Motherwell kid James Scott back to Scotland, writes Andy Newport.

The 20-year-old made a £1.5million move to Hull in January last year but his 18 months with Grant McCann’s Tigers have proved frustrating.

Saints manager Jim Goodwin was reported to be considering a move to lure the Scotland Under-21 ace back north.

But Record Sport understands the Buddies boss will not be following up with a firm offer.

Now Scott’s hopes of regular action lie with Motherwell and Hibs making a move.

The former Fir Park academy graduate enjoyed a breakthrough campaign with Well back in 2019, quickly earning his big-money move to Hull.

But an ankle injury picked up in his first training session meant he spent his first six months at the MKM Stadium out of action.

And further fitness troubles meant he barely featured as McCann’s side - which includes former Rangers midfielder Greg Docherty - went on to win the English League One title last season, with Scott starting just three games.

Hull are keen to recoup as much of the cash they splashed out on the forward as possible but for now a loan looks like the youngster’s most likely option.

McCann, though, would prefer to see him move permanently.

“James Scott’s a big asset for the football club, he’s 20 years of age,” he said earlier this week.

“The club spent a million pounds on him and he’s had a really bad time because of injury, there’s absolutely no point in us loaning him out because he’d count in our numbers.

“Scotty’s here and he’s pushing really hard to try and force his way in.”

[Gmack7]

If we were to bring Scott in who I think is predominantly a wide player we would have Boyle Murphy Mackay and Mueller aswell, surely one of them would be away with Boyle being the most likely IMO

If this is the level that Celtic are operating now then bring it on.

Yep seems like he ticks a few Celtic transfer bingo boxes, Irish international, hate figure for Rangers fans, injury prone :greengrin

[Jim44]

They are a complete car crash. Driving without brakes or a steering wheel.

[Andy74]

Think they are both decent signings but the length of deals are a bit excessive at their ages.

[Smartie]

Celtic are in panic territory though and their negotiating position will reflect this. They also have a new, young CEO who is coming under increased pressure.

They haven't had the infrastructure in place to be working on deals that will represent value. They need bodies in, everybody knows it and the deals they offer folk will reflect that.

Joe Hart I reckon could be an inspired signing. Somebody mentioned Jim Leighton, the experienced goalkeeper who was good back in the day but has lost his way is potentially a great signing to make. They need a pretty dominating figure back there to bark out the orders, I think he could be an excellent choice. He also ticks the "big name" thing that fans of big clubs love, so they can consider themselves part of some sort of elite when it simply boiled down to the fact that they were the least crap offer on the table for a player who has been in the wilderness.

McCarthy is a strange one. Again, a decent player back in the day but his recent injury record is awful. Their midfield should also already be half-decent with McGregor and Turnbull in there, so it's the area of their team that needs bolstered the least.

A goalkeeper was a priority but after that they are screaming out for defenders and a reliable centre forward. Until they get those positions sorted it is hard to see where they might pick up any points at all.

[ahibby]

I fear he might be their next target manager when the one they have fails. Good news is the guy might not fail but take a couple of weeks to get going. Celtic have lost their first game at ER then gone on to win the league. This time they wont but should be sitting second come December and beyond. If they are not I will start to have concerns re JR.

I’ll be sounding like a closet Celtic fan with some of my recent posts but I actually think McCarthy could be a decent signing. The bottom line is they are desperate for players and they need them throughout the spine.

Although McGregor and Turnbull are good players, the lad Soro looks very average. They lack leaders and experience so McCarthy could make a difference. 4 years is mental but he’s averaged 25 games a season for last 2 years. They still need another 4 players minimum I’d say but those 2 today are a start

[Unseen work]

Unsure if that’s right with Kensell and think maybe it was how he answered it.

Don’t think it’s a case nowadays if clubs just offering a couple of million, being told no and going again. It will be constant back and forth.

He said strong interest but doesn’t want to say much more than that but there’s always jostling and positioning.

Seems like a lot of negotiations to get the right deal.

Good business brain. Clubs who were dithering now thinking they might miss out so get involved. Clubs who were involved now want the deal done to stop new clubs coming in. All leads to Hibs maximising his value and getting the right deal for us.

Wouldn’t imagine so, he won’t play again unless all deals where we are close to finalising are off the table. Fwiw I’m comfortable with that, Stevenson will do fine in the short term and has very rarely let us down. Who’s to say if JD played its not at the back of his mind about getting injured and ruining a life changing move which impacts his performance. Defo the right decision to leave him out through all of this, we aren’t talking about a seasoned professional who’s used to this it’s a young lad at 19 who will have a million things going through his head right now and some very big decisions to make.

[GreenCastle]

I don’t think this was just about the Motherwell game - no coincidence Mathie came out with a ridiculous high valuation of him in that interview.

As others have said minimum £4 million starting bid. I’m sure Hibs are already looking at another left back but it would be useful to bring someone in soon.

JR didn’t say that and the CEO didn’t say that either. Everyone playing cards very close to chest, and being very careful with wording used. The guys will be working behind the scene to get the best deal for Hibs. You don’t get pulled unless we are in negotiation stage. Same thing happened with the other players but those deals didn’t go through. All were firm bids but not enough for Hibs to sell. I’m loving this new approach from Hibs.

Yup I think so far we have handled it well. Clear intent to others - if you want away or sold you will be dropped / out of squad.

A lot of player power these days but so far Ross and staff have done well here to keep harmony and focus on the match (last week).

I think Mathie was equally as disappointed in the fact JD was going to end up in an U23 team, I know we’ll be attempting to get the best sum possible for hibs but I genuinely feel Mathie will be working to get the best deal for JD as well, which is why we’re hearing about loan moves being lined up to Forrest.

Yeah your correct think I'm just hearing my own things lol, I agree with you even though it's infuriating the new way we are going about things is great progression is high on the list along with no longer getting shafted with accepting stupid bids.

[bingo70]

There’s a difference between being happy here and not pushing for a move and actively wanting to go.

I think it’s pretty clear if Doig remains a Hibs player this season he’ll be perfectly happy.

I’m sure if he gets the chance to move to one of the biggest leagues in the world and increase his wage by about 10 fold, setting him up for life in the process then he would jump at the chance.

Quite frankly if he gets the chance of a move like that and anybody is suggesting he should stay at Hibs when anything could happen next season they’d be absolutely mental.

He could get an injury or lose form and be worth a fraction of what he can ask for now. If he has a great season, he’s still not going to add that much to his value.

Feels like it was a ‘put up or shut up’ move from the club with Doig. There’s been plenty speculation, but if bids haven’t been concrete, perhaps the club decided to go public with the situation to bring it to a head. Next either he’s sold, or the various clubs don’t meet our terms, and Doig rejoins the squad.

You may have read it on this thread yesterday Jim, from Greenworld post 6846

[007]

Not sure if this has been posted before so apologies if it has. Ben Kensell giving a good interview to the Not The Old Firm guys and talk of work on and off the park including big screens


https://youtu.be/T0iEFV2GtuI

Thanks, 04Sauzee. Haven't noticed that link on here before.

[Brightside]

Big screens this season an work for north and south stands, kiosks have been or will be updated

Who cares about the south stand. I want a sushi bar in the west.

[Brightside]

I was told West Ham won't pay over 2m, they bought the Czech right back for 2m...

They’ve already offered more than that. According to my sources. 😂😂

[Unseen work]

So are we after Keita or not?

Couple of media outlets and journos linking us with him but a few on here said it’s not true.

[CapitalGreen]

They’ve already offered more than that. According to my sources. 😂😂

We’ve all read the pish you’re sources have fed you before though.

[04Sauzee]

Looks like Shankland could be on his way out of Dundee Utd going by 'Twitter' Utd fans seem resigned to the fact and a number of fans of English clubs seem to think their club is interested. Also a number of Hearts fans think they are in with a chance.
Also talk of a Belgian team.

Ooft😁, makes me kinda chuffed I've nae sources

[Blurhibee]

I’ve read elsewhere that Doig is not 100% up for a move and would be happy to stay with us for another season.

He is more than happy to stay but if the right move for him and Hibs comes in he will move, one thing he has said is that his dream was to score against hearts for us

[Hibs90]

True, however its from an impeccable source my friend..

So is mine and I’ve been told no less than £4m

[Torto7]

I was told West Ham won't pay over 2m, they bought the Czech right back for 2m...

Told by who?

[BlackSheep]

Its these kind of posts that make those who have connections in the club or otherwise to not bother posting... if you don't believe what is posted judst ignore it... no need to lambast folk who are passing on info in good faith.

Now i know there are some who like to stir it up but there are a few with genuine info, sharing in good faith and have had said info come good in the past so lets not jump to this kind of behaviour!

[at last 61]

Told by who?

Whom 😁😁😁

[Cod Boy]

The hearts fans are saying Walker and Popescu going to Dundee United with Shankland going the opposite direction.

Did you see the post I replied to? He was openly mocking USAHibee who was passing on info in good faith.

I have no problem with people posting what they have heard in good faith but I take issue with people being mocked by someone who has posted some ridiculous info from sources in the past

Whom 😁😁😁

Aye.😚

Was it the ITK slaver from kickback? That boys the biggest daftie on the web.

I've really not been impressed seeing him playing at a higher level. Usually you can tell a stand out player, even if they're surrounded by rubbish. I didn't get that feeling with him last season. Thought he was pretty disappointing to be honest. He may or may not do well in a better side but with the wages he's allegedly on i'd rather look elsewhere.

Not sure heard it at work I wouldn’t go on that site

[southern hibby]

Maybe I’m wrong but I think I recall you can only play for 2 teams in a season. Could Hibs be keeping him out the squad knowing that if a club wanted to buy him and loan him out he would be within the rules for this?

Apologies I didnt see the previous post… glad we r on the same page.

Fair enough, I suppose we will see how this pans out, was only trying to pass on info not deemed as too private..lesson learned..

With him having played in the Santa Coloma game, surely we'll now be one of his clubs for this season?

It may be that someone would buy him then punt him straight out of loan elsewhere (as has been suggested in some places).

Yesterday they were to offer no more than £200k as utd desperate for funds

Right I’m not telling you anything else. I won’t even tell you about the guy joining next week. 😘🥷🏻

No one knows nothing. 😂. Apart from the fact that there have been bids over £2m for Doig and that was weeks ago.

Only weekly? Lucky sod.

[ian cruise]

Hopefully the news about Scott signing is accurate, feels like the sort of player other clubs have been successful with in the past (and ourselves lately too). Still young, plenty ability and potential to still improve.

[ahibby]

Right I’m not telling you anything else. I won’t even tell you about the guy joining next week. 😘🥷🏻

Ah so its definitely not a female then. 50 50 you will be correct. If not then a chance he will join by 31st August, so I have heard .

[WhileTheChief..]

Do you know if there's any truth that Watford offered £2.5m in January but were knocked back?

[04Sauzee]

Hibs’ Josh Doig has had ‘a little bit of clarity’ over his transfer situation, says Jack Ross.

Left out of Hibs’ squad v Motherwell with English interest mounting.

Hasn’t expressed a desire to leave. All about potential opportunity for Doig and Hibs.

Won’t feature v Rijeka. https://t.co/qsmp1U5IzQ

[nlandsafchibee]

Whilst it is speculation what will happen I think the phrases a liitle bit of clarity and all about potential opportunity for Doig and Hibs head me towards thinking signing for a club and being loaned back has been suggested .

[Tambo]

I honestly can’t remember if it was a newspaper article or social media, maybe both.

I seen in a newspaper article online that josh was happy at Hibs and looking forward to the new season playing for Hibs but of course he's not gonna say otherwise his he.

[flash]

Have read managers latest comments regarding Doig 3 or 4 times and still completely clueless as to what he means.

[WhileTheChief..]

I read it that Josh might be involved tomorrow night but after that, he's gone. We've considered his needs and now it's time to concentrate on ourselves.

Just my take on it.

[Hibernian Verse]

I read it that Josh might be involved tomorrow night but after that, he's gone. We've considered his needs and now it's time to concentrate on ourselves.

Just my take on it.

Our need, in my view, is to play our best XI tomorrow so hopefully he plays.

Aye could be.

Dundee Utd Receive a £500k bid for Shankland from a Belgian club.

Wonder if this will force our hand at all

[Greencore]

Wonder if this will force our hand at all

3 up front Nisbet, doidge and Shankland? I'd take that. Can't see us paying anything likewise or higher on which he's at Dundee hibs.

[Iggy Pope]

Right I’m not telling you anything else. I won’t even tell you about the guy joining next week. 😘🥷🏻

That’ll be the same as every other week you’ve told us absolutely nothing. :aok:

[Andy74]

Just my take on it.

Think it meant that we left him out because we were thinking of his welfare but if it drags on then he'll be back in the team because we need him.

[Greenworld]

Wonder if this will force our hand at allDoubt it does not strike me as the type of striker we would be after.. that and the fact that no bids for Nisbet at this stage ..

That would be tremendous. Offer him the same wage as Nisbet and Doidge, or thereabouts, pay the £500k and get him on a 3 year deal. Sorted!!

Yeah that kinda makes more sense. I'm just impatient to see it resolved. At first I was hoping we would keep him another year but now I just want as much as we can get for him.

[JXM73]

Danny Ings to Villa for £25M... surely a decimal point missing....

[AugustaHibs]

Danny Ings to Villa for £25M... surely a decimal point missing....

Danny ings is a very good striker. He’ll score Atleast 15 premier league goals for them this season.

£25m is a fair price imo

Let’s see if Queen B and Benny Factor step up giving their supposed cash plus player bid (well itk jambos reckon)

The media are just guessing, what they don't know they just make up.

Josh is happy at Hibs but what's not to love an offer of £10k a week? ;-)

Not sure why you think that? Well established at that level and Southampton will miss him badly.....

A fantastic scoring record at Southampton over the last 2 seasons. A great signing for Villa.

Josh seems like a good lad with the right priorities in life. Much like SJM.

Of course this only puts the price up. :wink:

[Big_Franck]

I wonder how long the club will let the Doig situation rumble on before they put him back in the side. By all accounts he seems a really humble young guy from a good family that is happy playing at Hibs.

If Doig was the kind of player to kick up a fuss at not getting a move, to sulk or go in a huff or not give 100% then I'd be all for leaving him out the side. None of that seems to apply, he's still our player and tomorrow is a massive game for us. Because of that I'd start him.

Correct, lovely lad, great family and just a laddie I've watched in person since he was very young.

Loves his fitba and will go right to the very top of the game, when he is ready, of course :-)

Quality player, well worth that price.

[Greenworld]

To balance that with do you think josh would make a massive difference in that game instead of Lewis. I think experiance for that game is good and we cannot risk playing Josh and loosing 4 mill

We're really not risking losing 4 million.

Didn’t Liverpool let him go on a free? I’m still surprised Southampton let him leave… they seem to be offloading some decent players and might really struggle this season.
