Summer 2021-22 transfer thread

[Col2]

The player now scored more goals per minute than near enough every other player in the league last year.

People know he’s not Griffiths that scored 31 league goals in a season on the way to winning the title. Nobody is thinking Dundee are getting that. But players that aren’t wanted by Celtic aren’t automatically not good enough for Hibs.

Griffiths had a season last season which suggests to me he’d be less of a gamble on the pitch than players from lower league Scotland/England, abroad or loans from EPL teams.

100%. When he came on in the Scottish cup final v Hearts, we all knew, all the jambos knew, Griffiths knew he would score.

Imagine a tight derby in 2 weeks, game level and we bring on Griffiths fir last 20 mins. We all know the rest….

[calumhibee1]

Think we'd prefer a player that we can relay on being able to play 90 minutes every week and that ain't Griffiths

He missed about 8 games at the start of last season with a calf strain. That was the only time he was injured last season. He was in the Celtic squad for near enough every other game.

He’ll be more than fit enough to play every week.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

Would’ve loved to have griffiths back, the boys 30, hardly an old has been…

All this ‘5yrs ago griff’ has no weight in my eyes. He gets a run of games and peak fitness will come. He has a wand of a left foot, that’ll never leave you. But we make and miss so many chances, someone lethal in the box (and anywhere within 35yds) could’ve been a real game changer for us.

The fact he’s now at Dundee, you’d like to think we could’ve gotten him if we’d wanted…hope JR has a rabbit still to be pulled today….🙄

you say it has no weight, but where does "a run of games and peak fitness" come from? very much appeared that he couldn't be arsed getting himself fit for a shot at history for both club and country

I say that as someone that posted 10 mins ago i'd have taken him back but to use LG going to Dundee as some sort of dig at our club for "missing out" is imo bollocks

[Col2]

Are those the only two options available?

Well let’s see. Pressure on.

[easty]

Former Celtic defender Jack Hendry is in talks to sign with Club Brugge from Oostende. Club Brugge are in Manchester City’s Champions League group and the deal could be worth up to 10m euros.
The defender is currently with the Scotland squad and spent season on loan at Oostende before making the move permanent this summer. He is due to fly out to Denmark this afternoon with Steve Clarke’s side.

That's some development from the boy at Celtic a couple of years ago.

£10m!! :confused:

And to think there are some folk on here that think we should bite any teams hand off for £3m for Doig :faf:

[flash]

Does the same apply to Nathan Wood that we're signing on loan?

It's hardly the same. Everyone knows Griffiths is available yet only Dundee wanted him.

[calumhibee1]

Glad we were not interested in Griffiths. People saying he go more goals per minute is great but if you can only get fit for one or two games a season then it’s no good to us. Add to that the level of unprofessionalism he would be bringing to our dressing room and we have done well to avoid.

He had a calf strain at the start of the season.

He was in the Celtic squad for the vast majority of games after that. The idea he would manage next to no games doesn’t really stand up to scrutiny. He didn’t play more because the managers didn’t fancy him. Not because he couldn’t or else he wouldn’t have been stripped near enough every week.

[04Sauzee]

There's a trnslate tweet button.

Hei. Om Doig blir solgt:)

😁😁

[The Harp Awakes]

Yet another example of people angry we didn’t sign a player from five years ago rather than considering who the player is now.

Dundee can have him. We need players who could become better than the level of Celtic, not their fourth choice rejects.

What Griffiths has lacked in the last few seasons is game time. While you can argue that it was his own poor attitude which kept him out the Celtic team, I don't think it would surprise anyone if with a run of games at Dundee he starts banging the goals in again.

123 goals and 43 assists from 158 starts for Celtic speaks for itself. I think it's a bigger gamble Hibs not taking a punt on him than signing him on a 1 year loan.

[easty]

It's hardly the same. Everyone knows Griffiths is available yet only Dundee wanted him.

Of course it's the same, unless Nathan Wood a secret that only we know about?

[Northernhibee]

That seems slightly harsh to me. He said himself towards the end of last season, that he’s fit, he’s ready to go, Celtic just didn’t want to play him…time will tell, but I’d imagine a burst of 6-8 full games would do the trick, assuming no injuries.

if your 2nd bit is at me as well, dunno what your on about. It’s not a dig at all, I said if we’d turned down griff, or didn’t try at all, then here’s hoping JR can come up with better…..

[flash]

Were Dundee the only team willing to take him on?

Pretty sure we would have heard if there were others.

Tonnesson expected to join Hibs today according to foreign journalist.

Doesn’t it say only if we lose Doig in the comments

[HibsGW]

I’d assume his off field issues recently come into the decision making as well. He’s not exactly the kind of guy I’d want as a teammate at the moment.

[04Sauzee]

It does , the question was asked and the reply Is they only expect that deal to go through If Hibs were to sell Doig.

Doesn’t fit JR way I would guess. Neither would Stokes or Riordan.

[GreenCastle]

Having LG on the pitch for set pieces alone would be more than we currently have.

The guy has been through a wild time at Celtic and if he came back to Hibs he would have felt more settled and even possibly settled down as he would be getting regular football and more support.

Of course it's a risk and he's not squeaky clean but our squad needs a few X factor type players - rather than just vanilla young up and coming players.

As mentioned above whether he starts or comes on in a game you have a feeling he may score. Compare to Murphy and Scott - LG would score more than both of them even if half fit.

[Northernhibee]

Near the end of NLs time at the club and pre Ross we could have taken a gamble on a volatile character to change our fortunes but just now we are a very close knit and hard working team on and off the pitch that appear quite happy and settled. We’re keeping players like Boyle, Porteous and potentially Nisbet as HTC and ER are great places to develop and play football.

We need ambition and professionalism in the dressing room as not to unsettle that.

[Jones28]

Well can we all agree it’s done and LG isn’t coming to us?

Then draw a line under 5 years of discussion.

I think that is accurate and fair. We do need that magic that can change a game that can get us over the line in big games, that can step up in cup finals. Jury out if we have that yet and not saying Griffiths would give us that for certain, but he has before for Celtic.

[GreenCastle]

Doesn’t fit JR way I would guess. Neither would Stokes or Riordan.

We needed Stokes X factor to help win us the Scottish Cup. Of course there is baggage but football teams need maverick type players. There are many examples in English teams like Grealish, Kyle Walker etc. They aren't all squeaky clean.

You can't have a team of these type of players but 1 or 2 you can get away with if the rest of the group understand what they bring to the team.

[Greencore]

If he has a good couple of months at Dundee I think we will make a move for him in January pre contract.

We already have Boyle, Nisbet, Doig, Porto, Doidge, Murphy and more that can come up with moments of magic.

I truly think that we’re destined for silverware with this team as we’re not short of creativity or attacking intent as it is.

If we just wanted someone on the pitch that was great at free kicks we could have just kept Mallan.

I would argue that Boyler is an x-factor player and so is Scott Allan.

In many ways I would have loved to see Griff coming back...but in other ways I would have hated it. We have to trust the management..we are top of the league after all !

Bear in mind the amount of folk who still want Cummings back and the fact that last summer there were a few people suggesting that we re-sign Simon Murray (ffs), I'd say there will still be some discussing LG's return at least until he retires.

[Real Emerald]

However this pans out we need another striker and if we end up not signing one then letting Griffiths go to Dundee will have been a huge mistake, especially in the short term. If we do bring in a good striker then it may be proved a good move. Hopefully we have someone lined up.

These players are always a risk. These players end up at clubs like Dundee for a reason. They don't end up there by accident. They might do well for a bit then go off the boil but that's fine at a club like Dundee. Hibs are going down a more professional route and it's not as if its not paying off atm. As a community driven club we won't want to be associated with some of these players either.

If Hibs are letting him go, with Doidge and Murphy out injured, we must be confident of hanging on o Nisbet.

It’s a business model for long contract signings not for short term loans to plug a gap. We’ve lost Doidge and now Murphy, possibly Gullan too from an already thread bare attack. If we don’t have anyone else lined up Griffiths would have been most welcome under the circumstances. We’ll wait and see though 👍

The striker from Wycombe is Alex Samuel who did well as a young guy on loan at Morton from top flight Swansea when we were in the Championship.

Barker has a hugely inflated opinion of what he can actually contribute to a football club.

A spell at the Sevco franchise allowed him to continue to "play for" a big club for a while, and whilst they're running up tens of millions of pounds of debt, they can afford to indulge him for a while.

He's about to find the level where flattering to deceive for a handful of games before sitting out the next dozen injured, before repeating the process repeatedly is actually worth anything to a club.

Fair to say I was never really a fan of him as a player, although I liked the 808 state link.

As a result they are never major tears and he is back in 3 weeks.
Was evident on Saturday that he is incredibly frustrated by this chronic injury.

Will be playing at EFL1 level and he can either be a success and move up to the Championship or sink
further.

Yeah I am sure he said that. Can't remember where but it was recent.

Leigh Griffiths to Dundee FC taking the headlines so far but a somewhat underrated Scottish Premiership centre forward - Callum Hendry - is being linked with a few clubs including Northampton Town, MK Dons and Hibs.

I really hope we’re not interested.

He’s hopeless.

[Souter96Mac]

Hendry would be pretty underwhelming, but would provide us cover upfront whilst Doidge is out.

[jacomo]

Barker has a hugely inflated opinion of what he can actually contribute to a football club.

A spell at the Sevco franchise allowed him to continue to "play for" a big club for a while, and whilst they're running up tens of millions of pounds of debt, they can afford to indulge him for a while.

He's about to find the level where flattering to deceive for a handful of games before sitting out the next dozen injured, before repeating the process repeatedly is actually worth anything to a club.

Fair to say I was never really a fan of him as a player, although I liked the 808 state link.


Quick and occasionally creative, although I always thought that was by accident rather than design!

Happier with Daniel Mackay, I think he’s a better footballer from what I’ve seen.

But if he's brought in as cover along with someone who would be pushing for a start then he could be an option

Agreed Hendry is surely not good enough for us, flopped massively at Aberdeen and doesn't get a game for ST J

[Viva_Palmeiras]

No direct flights from Orlando to Edinburgh today. Would have to go via Chicago, then via Dublin. Mueller would have had to leave last night to make it on time ��.

Mackay is very, very young so that’s not a put down of him but he’s not even close the level of Barker yet imo.

Can see Mueller arriving today. It’s far too quiet with other rumours of strikers so think we’ve got that one sorted.

You've got to hand it to Hearts, consulting all of the fans who own the club about this deal must have been a massive logistical exercise.

[GreenCastle]

Murphy played 11th most league minutes despite joining us late in the summer window.
The strange thing with his injuries is they seem to occur very near the touchline when he is decelerating rather than accelerating.
As a result they are never major tears and he is back in 3 weeks.
Was evident on Saturday that he is incredibly frustrated by this chronic injury.

The other part of the story is he’s played 24 odd games and only 1 goal. Not sure how many assists ? Missed quite a few chances and rarely plays 90 mins.

It’s harsh but we need more consistency on the left wing. Basically a Boyle on the left.

Both Murphy and Newell are appalling at shooting. Murphy never generates enough power and Newell is just skelly. Both good players.
However, if the Murphy injury continues to be chronic it's highly unlikely he would get a contract extention.

To be fair to the club they have extended Boyle and trying to do the same with Nisbet and look like we have kept him, along with Porto.

Aberdeen have recruited significantly but needed to however they have strength in depth. Hearts needed to as well and have on paper recruited well. We are still light but we have kept our top players.

Aberdeen and Hearts, despite recruiting significantly and are already out of one of the two competitions they have a realistic chance of winning and are behind us in the league as it stands

We only lost two first team players from the squad that finished last season (third in the league incase we forgot) and we had already signed their replacements in Macey and Magennis before they gone.

We’ve then added three more players on top of that and got Allan back up to speed while retaining our best, in-demand players who are some of the best in the league in their positions. We’ve also got an exciting, high profile signing lined up for January, which we did try and push through earlier but couldn’t.

We probably need another couple of players to give us some more depth through the season but signing 15 players in a transfer window isn’t an indicator of a team being better than us.

Good post. I'm in the camp that a good window for us is more about retaining our best players this time round.
Evident on Saturday with Nisbet & Boyle the scorers that our best players make the difference needed to win games.

Bring in 1 option up top along with the CB on loan as cover and keep everyone would be a good window for us IMO.
A new Nisbet contract announced tonight would be another true statement of intent....

Good post.

I think we need a decent signing up front as part of the 'another couple of players' but other than that the main improvement I'm looking for this season is in the manager.

It's up to him to get more out of the squad we now have and as long as he's capable of doing that in critical matches - derbies, cup finals and semis (should we reach them) and facing down the bigot sisters then I'll be happy. I don't expect us to win all those games but I expect him to have us looking like we haven't been out-thought or out-fought in all of them.

So far so good, obviously.

I agree 100% with all of that but the most important part of it is we need at least 2 players. It’s an absolute must we sign another striker as we have no cover whatsoever. That is not the way to get to the next level. If we have no one coming in it could be pivotal to our season. We live in hope. 🤞

[mal]

Aberdeen and Hearts have signed a lot of players because they had to. I think at one point the Dons were down to one or two recognised defenders and zero senior strikers. They had a glut of midfielders and have only added to that which continues to make their squad imbalanced. They also only have three strikers on their books, one of whom is a youngster on loan. They're not exactly clicking as a team at the moment. Hearts had a squad that weren't overly impressive in the worst Championship ever (and lost to Brora!).

We, on the other hand, have managed (at time of writing) to retain almost all of the squad who were good enough to finish third last season and who have been good enough to be unbeaten domestically so far, in spite of a slew of injuries.

I think your comments re Murphy are fair. He absolutely does have ability, but I’m not convinced he’s producing enough in terms of either assists or goals and has missed some really good chances. Plus he does appear to be injury prone. Interesting to me that folk didn’t want LG due to his age and fitness, but he’s a year younger than Murphy. Different type of players obviously but I know who I’d rather have in the squad…..

Fair enough. We finished 3rd with no Hearts and an Aberdeen team that imploded and couldn’t score goals. We couldn’t beat St Johnstone in two major cup games. We lost to Hearts in the cup. We have recruited and as I said on this thread we are prioritizing keeping our best players which is commendable but with injuries you can see how thin our squad is. JR is going with a small squad eg two strikers, one of which is untried until Xmas.

We will have Mueller and Doidge in by new year so I expect us to get a huge boost. But we must hope we don’t get any more injuries between now
and Xmas. If Boyle it Nisbet we’re injured we would be screwed.

Different type of players obviously but I know who I’d rather have in the squad…..
Murphy keeps teasing us with glimpses of what he can do but I would have expected more goals from him never mind the injury issues.

[Greenworld]

Would be some pairing that if they got going together …..Leigh likes to run the channels , JC an in the box playerLeigh used to run the channels, not as much now. Not sure how he will be received by other teams players when he gets fit enough to play

Leigh Griffiths to Dundee. Confirmed.

Good chance to prove he still has it, can earn a move to Hibs in the summer

I thought Murphy had started the season strongly and I was gutted for both him and us that he got injured again.

[Greenworld]

I'm wondering why the Nathan Wood loan is taking so long to confirm, as he was up on Saturday getting his medical.

Out of left field - but could we still be hoping that the McCart situation could change?The guy might be thinking he is not going to get a lot of game time unless of injuries

Or even more assists. He’s frustrating ‘cos he definitely has ability, but not convinced he’s been a good signing so far in terms of an end product. And while I have no idea what kind of wages he’s on I wonder if they are decent in our terms having come from the Huns.

[ElginHibbie]

Fair enough. We finished 3rd with no Hearts and an Aberdeen team that imploded and couldn’t score goals. We couldn’t beat St Johnstone in two major cup games. We lost to Hearts in the cup. We have recruited and as I said on this thread we are prioritizing keeping our best players which is commendable but with injuries you can see how thin our squad is. JR is going with a small squad eg two strikers, one of which is untried until Xmas.

We will have Mueller and Doidge in by new year so I expect us to get a huge boost. But we must hope we don’t get any more injuries between now
and Xmas. If Boyle it Nisbet we’re injured we would be screwed.

It's a fair enough point but would say if Aberdeen lose Ramirez or Hearts lose Boyce they'd be pretty screwed as well

[Greencore]

Murphy = good player for hibs, but far too injury prone.

[Andy74]

Would anyone take Zak rudden ?

Think he’d be a decent shout.

Any team, even the Glasgow bigots would struggle if their first three strikers were out injured. I can guarantee we will get more injuries before the new year because that's what happens in football but we would be mightily unlucky if all three of Doidge, Boyle and Nisbet are all injured at the same time. Also you need to assume Aberdeen and Hearts will both have injuries themselves this season.

What a strange post. Summed up by the last comment about if both those players were injured 😂, you could say that about every team.

Have you heard anything?

[nlandsafchibee]

The other part of the story is he’s played 24 odd games and only 1 goal. Not sure how many assists ? Missed quite a few chances and rarely plays 90 mins.

It’s harsh but we need more consistency on the left wing. Basically a Boyle on the left.
He is also top earner by a mile at 16k + a week which certainly surprised me .

There is absolutely NO chance there is anyone at Hibs on anything about 5k and it won't be Murphy either

Not sure he is.

I'm sure he was on a lot of money at Rangers (which may be where that figure came from ), only a small part of which we picked up when he was on loan up until this summer.

He'll now be on "Hibs wages" albeit I'm pretty sure he's our highest earner.

There are several websites that give you basic salaries registered for all teams and its very interesting ,some are for last season but some are for 2021 onwads but unlikely Boyles is the new contract amount.

[yerauldda]

Watched Tom Eaves come off the bench recently for Hull at Fulham. Looks like a similar type to Doidge but think he’s struggled to get going at Hull.

[Stanton Spence]

He’s a big Hibs fan which is probably why his name has came up previously.

He has scored a goal every 126 minutes since the start of last season at League 1/Championship Level for Partick. For comparison, Kevin Nisbet scored a goal every 112 minutes while at Raith/Dunfermline prior to signing for us.

Sunderland when JR was there tried to sign him from Gillingham in transfer window farce when they ended up with Will Grigg. He was one of top scorers in the league at that time

£16k a month would be credible but per week exposed the posters clown shoes

Barker and Eaves would be very good.

[GreenCastle]

Murphy = good player for hibs, but far too injury prone.

Would probably say good squad player but can’t be relied on.

I know he’s frustrated as anyone. You could see that at the weekend as he’s started the season well.

Having no threat on the left means we are a bit lop sided with most danger coming down right with Boyle.

Murphy only played 90 mins once for Hibs in 24 games - he’s scored 1 goal and had 1 assist.

He's scored 3 goals and will have more than one assist imo.

I don’t think anyone has objected to LG due to his age.

In attitude and application they seem poles apart, in that JM appears to take the life of a professional football player quite seriously.

As for other issues…

I actually feel a bit angry at LG, as this should have been the summer he came home. But he’s f***** it up.

There isn't enough room left on the treatment table, so Barker will have to take his injuries elsewhere.
