Summer 2021-22 transfer thread

[CMurdoch]

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.

When Scott was touted for Hibs i looked at the Hull supporters forums and the consensus was that they would rather get rid of Eaves than Scott. Many were cutting Scott slack for the injuries and illness combined with being away from home for the 1st time. They reckoned he has ability and could possibly turn it round with a little luck. Eaves they reckoned wasn't good enough.
Hull might see it differently and without Scott their striker numbers are already down 1. However, a 4 month loan of a decent big striker would suit us down to the ground.

Rangers sending Itten (Germany) and Katic (Croatia) on loan

[bingo70]

Edouard having medical at Palace


What? 😃

Celtic situation still makes me nervous.

Today they’ve lost Edouard, Griffith’s and Christie from their attacking department and think they were already short up front.

They’re bringing in that Greek guy, anybody else im forgetting about. Suspect they may make a mice for Nisbet.

Itten leaves the Rangers to join Grunther Furth On season long loan

Both would do well in aeriel challenges. Better than Rod Hull anyway.

Bit of a strange one that as he was still involved. Sure he came off the bench in a game I watched recently.

They won't. Hibs will not sell him now anyway.

Hasn't been a single good source linking him with a move there ever.

Motherwell sign Norwegian Sondre Johansen on 3 year deal

3 yrs? That's unlike Well to offer out longer deals. They tend to love a wee 1 or 2 year deal.

Celtic's modus operandi is not paying the going rate for Nisbet on the final day of a transfer window.

If they were really interested, they'd have started with lowball nonsense weeks/ months ago, unsettling the player and working up to getting him way short of our valuation.

The biggest danger we have of losing Nisbet today is if a couple of moves happen in England leading to a club having a bit of money and a bit of a panic - under those circumstances we might find ourselves having a bid to consider.

At this stage in the game I think it would be hard for anyone to bid what it would likely to take to draw us to the negotiating table.

That might all change with a co-ordinated move with a transfer request etc going in from the player but I don't think I see that happening, certainly not from Celtic.

[Greencore]

Surely we could offer that for Kerr

Yes but he will most likely want high wage by our means meaning we can't afford a fee and those high wages.

[keep the faith]

Surely we could offer that for Kerr

I think that was hibs plan when we openly touted Doig.

We would then be able to bid for the likes of Kerr.

[CMurdoch]

Just seen that.
Kerr is the player I wanted us to sign.
Looks the real deal.
A steal at £500k.
Problem for Hibs would be his wages and more so his probable desire to go to England.
Celtic should have bought him for £1m but preferred to pay 4 times that amount for an inferior player with a sexier name.

He’s a Hibs fan isn’t he? Hard to turn down a much bigger contract offer though.

[davhibby]

We’d easily be able to match whatever wage he’ll be getting at Wigan. They don’t have very much money

Yup, instead of getting Starfelt they got there bum felt

[bingo70]

Not sure what I’ve missed but why do people think we’ve got £500k to splash on one player when we’ve not sold anyone to bring in any transfer income?

Agreed. Unlikely but I guess he could turn down the move and as he's out of contract next summer would be free to sign a pre contract in January. If we were interested then we could offer a better package than we could now.

[Mr. Wonderful]

They got taken over this summer. Paying out plenty now by all accounts.

[CapitalGreen]

Kerr is a brilliant player. For me makes the likes of McCart look better than he is.

The number of goals St Johnstone were conceding prior to signing McCart compared with the number they’ve conceded since would suggest otherwise. Didn’t see anybody touting Kerr on here until after he started playing alongside McCart.

But McCart doesn’t support Hibs 👀🙊

[Unseen work]

Come on Hibs, getting a bit concerning now.

Are we just going to announce all of them in one go?

I really think we need another striker with experience. I fear this will be the same as the January transfer window where all day I was expecting sn announcement but it never came.

[WhileTheChief..]

Not sure what I’ve missed but why do people think we’ve got £500k to splash on one player when we’ve not sold anyone to bring in any transfer income?

We sent one of the big screens back to Dixons?? :dunno:

I'm guessing they will announce all singing at once

Still 6 hours and 55 mins until the window slams shut :agree:

[GreenCastle]

Think we are waiting to see if any bids come in and anyone leaves..

Possibly have a few deals on hold / pending.

Feels like we are often in this position - Hearts and Aberdeen rarely seem to have teams wanting to sign their players so late on.

[Iain G]

We sent one of the big screens back to Dixons?? :dunno:

Dixons, what is this, the 1990s?

Maybe we could see if they have a cheaper deal at Glens, Hutchison, Robertson and Stepek? :greengrin

“Herald and Times Sport understand that the double winning captain is close to joining The Latics for a fee in the region of £500,000.

Saints had interest from three other clubs this week, including a Scottish Premiership side, but Kerr has opted for a move down south.”

Maybe we did go for Kerr then? Would only be us or Aberdeen I’d think.

[WhileTheChief..]

Remember the summer window we sold SJM?

We were on here all day expecting to see some players coming in and ended up feeling pretty let down by the end of it.

At most a couple of young signings on loan and the keeper IMO.

Hibernian are expecting to announce centre-back Nathan Wood on loan from Middlesbrough.

The 19-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at Crewe.

The Easter Road side are also set to secure goalkeeper David Mitchell, who is signing from Clyde.

From BBC TDD Updates

[21sMay]

It would be a bit of a let down if we finished the window off with the keeper and wood signing , especially after Ross saying he wanted another forward in . Plenty time yet though and of course I understand that sometimes you just can't get the player in that the club wants

Not so fussy about Leigh not coming but more the fact (if true) we put in a bid last night which would suggest we don’t have a concrete target for a forward player and we will still be searching today.

I don’t know if meltdown is the right word but it doesn’t look great if we wait until a couple of days before the transfer window closes to try and hijack a deal that would have been firmly on our radar for a long time before that.

We make a big deal about our scouting and player identification systems but we’re not pro-active enough to make the first move for a player who’s a Hibs fan and been available for a while.

I say that as someone who isn’t fussed for him coming back but it doesn’t give me a great amount of faith in the people at Hibs looking for players.

Why on earth would I possibly make that up? Don’t believe it if you don’t want to but I have absolutely no reason to question where I heard it.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

There would be folk on here raging if we didn’t try. We did, he needed a assurance of starts, we couldn’t give him that. Move on - finally (please)

[FatPat]

Griffiths and Cummings up top for Dundee, let's see how this unfolds.

Another CB is good let's end the day with a bang.


Dundee are going to have a hell of a Christmas team party with those 2

Just need Gary O'Conner to sign for them now.

[Brightside]

IF it’s true about LG, gotta wonder wtf is going on. Though it wouldn’t be the first time a paper has printed something that was a lie.

Of course it’s not true. 😂

[jeffers]

It’s easy really he’s no guaranteed to play for us where he is at Dundee. Feel we will get him end of season

Sorry I meant why we have left it so late to make a move. If we think he’s worth taking a chance on why didn’t we do so much sooner ? Pretty sure LG would have taken his opportunity and ended up starting with us as we still play two strikers at times. I’m wondering if he turned us down as he’d verbally agreed to join Dundee.

[stubru59]

F
We supposedly came in last night after everything had been agreed with Dundee.

You have to ask why?

He’s been available all summer, if we want him go and get him. If it has been a last minute decision when he’s already agreed terms it’s a joke.

Assuming we did make a bid last night, what’s to say it’s not because our first choice hasn’t worked out. I agree, on the limited information we have, it doesn’t look great.

But that’s all we have. Limited and non definitive information. Let’s wait and see how things pan out.

[Borderhibbie76]

No chance he was on 5k at St J...not a chance

[blackpoolhibs]

On a personal view, i'm gutted he's not coming to us. :boo hoo:

It’s a load of pish. No offer from Hibs

Any idea how much hearts apparently turned down for Souttar?

[mcfly]

That’s Nathan Wood signed now officially.. season loan

Will Nathan wood be challenging for a first team place? I really hope this lad is a gem and slots in straightaway 🤞🤞

We’ve been crying out for a dominant centre half for 2 seasons now. Bit underwhelmed by mr mathie.

Great we’ve kept our best players but we all know we leak to many cheap goals

[weecounty hibby]

I don't believe that Hibs made a bid for LG. Local paper trying to big up home club!

[GGTTH07]

No chance he was on 5k at St J...not a chance

Not saying that. I’m saying that’s what he was asking hibs for, or roughly under that.

Yeah I find it all a bit odd as well. He's been an obvious option for ages now - if we wanted him, why wait until this late? Just seems strange.

[Centre Hawf]

Of course it’s not true. 😂

Why of course? It's the type of deal we've all discussed as a possibility for the last month or so (even longer in some cases). I could easily see it being true.

[NC1875]

Any idea how much hearts apparently turned down for Souttar?

Didn’t realise someone had made a bid ?

[Since452]

Just said in BBC radio Scotland that Dundee had competition from Israel for his signature.

[jacomo]

We tried and he turned us down.


You think LG would choose Dundee over us if the money is the same?

Why?

[calumhibee1]

He'll be out of contract next year and I'm sure the wishful thinking will start all over again on January 1.

After he’s battered in 10 goals by January for Dundee you can bet I’ll be all over it again in January!

[weecounty hibby]

How roughly? Sorry hutbthis just sounds utter nonsense

I don't believe that Hibs made a bid for LG. Local paper trying to big up home club!

[Brightside]

Supporters talking about it and the football club talking about it are 2 very different things. I could easily see it as being made up rubbish from a local rag. Who probably now has a few hundred more clicks than he’d normally get.

I don’t believe that. He would back himself to force his way into our first 11.

This story doesn’t make sense at all, I can’t see any reason LG would choose Dundee over us if given the choice.

[JimBHibees]

Not saying that. I’m saying that’s what he was asking hibs for, or roughly under that.

Plus signing on fee on fee plus transfer fee Saints would accept plus assorted bonuses. No mention of Hibs and Saints agreeing a fee, Saints probably would be more amenable to him moving down south who knows

[Heisenberg]

We couldn’t afford McCart and were well short with our offer for him according to their manager. No chance we had 500k+ sitting there for Kerr.

[Partyraiser]

Any idea how much hearts apparently turned down for Souttar?

no idea, but im sure itll be the biggest ever bid received for a fan owned club's player

[degenerated]

Hibs had the chance to sign him but wouldnt match his wages. Under 5k a week. Should have been all over that.Tales of the barely credible if you ask me.

[Hermit Crab]

Watch you don't step in the bull *****

[J-C]

He is also top earner by a mile at 16k + a week which certainly surprised me .

Nah that's his Rangers wage on FM, which can never be relied on to be too accurate.

Can't help but be slightly underwhelmed by a 31 year old Clyde goalkeeper on deadline day. Wish him all the best if he's joined but it isn't an appealing position on the pitch and not from a club with much intrigue.

On paper a boring signing. Hopefully wins us a cup with penalty saves or something.

[Unseen work]

If Griffiths had agreed everything with Dundee when we came in then it makes perfect sense why he said no to us.

We could have made a move for him all summer?

Dundee went and go their man and he maybe enjoyed hearing what the club and McPake had to say which made him feel wanted.

I wasn’t huge on Griffiths coming back btw but for me it was down to 2 things.

You want him for what he can offer on the pitch or you don’t want him because his off the pitch antics.

If Hibs decided they wanted him based on his ability then it was a no brainer and should have got him straight away. If Hibs said no because of his off field issues then no problem.

But not this half hearted, change of mind at the last minute.

[Col2]

So we were after Griffiths then but left it too late?

With the McCart episode and inability to get a central defender and striker in when the manager has talked about that for 5-6 weeks, it’s hardly been Graeme Mathie’s finest month….

Big Ron might talk it up and our new CEO likewise but we are out of Europe because of our approach and we now look light squad wise with 6 hours to go.

The thing is you either get your targets or you don’t. We can talk about not wanting a player after all, or being content with current squad but deep down we all know we are a striker short.

[hibbyfraelibby]

no idea, but im sure itll be the biggest ever bid received for a fan owned club's player

I will be gutted fir Ross if no striker materialises before window closes

[Danderhall Hibs]

You have to assume we were after other targets as our top targets and they were looking like they weren’t going to happen so they then switched to Griff
On that basis I agree he has gone to the club that clearly wanted him more and made him feel wanted Plus he knows McPake well , so that probably helped swing it

Murphy
MacKay

Aye a few are out injured and I'd like another striker option before the window closes but that's not a weak squad by any stretch of the imagination.

[Borderhibbie76]

This is starting to feel a bit like the Jan window deadline day again all over - we were all convinced we would sign a striker - we let Gullan leave on loan and nobody came in. Really hoping this doesn't happen again - at least we had both Doidge and Nisbet fit then - we can't seriously go thru till Xmas with Nisbet and an unproven Scott surely??

[Hibs90]

Right Hibs time to get another striker in. A good back-up/cover/will start some games like Keatings was please.

[SMAXXA]

I don’t believe that. He would back himself to force his way into our first 11.

This story doesn’t make sense at all, I can’t see any reason LG would choose Dundee over us if given the choice.

Another reason James McPake made him feel wanted close pal and wouldn’t go back on his word. I admire LG for choosing them if that’s the case shows maturity and probably the best move for him IMO at this time.

[CapitalGreen]

[Borderhibbie76]

That the same window where it looked nailed on that we’d lose Porteous and/or Nisbet and sold neither of them?

Yeah thats the one but it doesn't deflect from the fact we need to sign a striker mate? We got lucky last season that neither Nisbet or Doidge got injured between Jan and May - but Doidge won't be back till Jan at earliest- u can't seriously think we don't need a striker ??

[Col2]

Yup. Good point. We let Mallen stay out of loan and then shipped Scott Allan out for games. And then we had a huge winnable cup final and zero options on the bench and zero creativity to change things.

It’s a good squad but not materially better than last season and post cup final we all recognized we should have got a 3rd striker and we couldn’t defend crosses so needed big changes at the back.

Think there are a really strong 12/13 players there that we can properly rely on.

There are quite a few who haven’t really contributed much and/or haven’t been available enough in their time here.

Thought we might have seen a wee bit more movement out the way to free things up a bit (still might I suppose). Hope we’re getting something else over and above the goalie.

[Real Emerald]

Well there you go. Turns out he doesn't love us as much as some of us love him.

He wants to play every week. Don’t think Hibs could promise him that which suggests we have someone else lined up. If we haven’t I’ll be well pissed off.

Depends if you are a half full or half empty guy.

Daz I thought he was man of the match on Saturday

oig not away

Cadden due back

Gogic was good last season, lost form but every chance he will return

Hallberg Don't know when he is back

Wright finding a bit of form so still hope there's a player in there

Nisbet Still here

Gullan Is he away?

Maybe not as bad as you think.

[GreenCastle]

Cadden isn’t a proper right back.

He’s a right midfielder / wing back.

Hallberg / Murphy / Doidge are all injured.

We lack a back up right back - left footed winger and another striker if we want a fully balanced squad.

We probably won’t bring in a right back and rely on McGinn staying fit.

Do we have any youth right backs ?

[CapitalGreen]

100%

Aberdeen and Hearts look strong.

Aberdeen have failed to win any of their previous 5 games and the games they won prior to that weren’t convincing. They needed a last minute howler by the goalie to beat a Livi team we dispatched with ease and some more poor goalkeeping to scrape a point against a Ross County team we put away within 30 minutes.

[Mon Dieu4]

Lucky with injuries? We had Allan, Newell, Cadden, Murphy and Magennis all out for lengthy spells and that's just off the top of my head

[Peevemor]

100%

Aberdeen and Hearts look strong.I'm not convinced by Aberdeen.

Hearts have started well but they'll be hoping Boyce keeps doing the business. Assuming no further major movement during the window, I'd rather have our squad than their's - by a mile.

[Unseen work]

How many teams in the world can replace injured 1st choices with equivalent back-ups?

Quite a few?

You see it all the time, player gets injured in a certain position and the club will go and add another player to fill the void.

Whether they work out to be as effective or not as another thing. But if Gullan leaves which looks likely then we have just Scott and Nisbet up top.

It gets harder and harder to take anything at all you post seriously.....

It was the ''Aberdeen would never have a striker like Doidge, we'll never finish 3rd with him'' that done it for me.

[davhibby]

Cadden isn’t a proper right back.

He’s a right midfielder / wing back.

Hallberg / Murphy / Doidge are all injured.

We lack a back up right back - left footed winger and another striker if we want a fully balanced squad.

We probably won’t bring in a right back and rely on McGinn staying fit.

Do we have any youth right backs ?

Cadden had just spent a year playing right back every week before we signed him. That’s what got him a move to hibs. I’d agree that wing back is his best position but he’s more than capable of being first choice right back for us

[Sioux]

100%

Aberdeen and Hearts look strong.

Aye, so we should swap our squad for either Aberdeen and Hertz.

Why is it only Hibs that get it wrong?:rolleyes:

[Smartie]

Quite a few?

You see it all the time, player gets injured in a certain position and the club will go and add another player to fill the void.

Whether they work out to be as effective or not as another thing. But if Gullan leaves which looks likely then we have just Scott and Nisbet up top.

Even if Gullan stays, Ross never plays him so we'd effectively be left with Scott and Nisbet. Based on Saturday I'm fairly unconvinced by Scott as a centre forward.

So that would leave an awful lot on Nisbet's shoulders, and he's picked up the odd knock himself over the past few weeks.

It needs addressed otherwise we could be at the mercy of ending up looking very light indeed up front.

TBF - every other position we have now got covered.

[BILLYHIBS]

Whats 10/10 in that post, most of it is nonsense
10 players and I am sure we have all thought the same at one time or another besides I found it quite funny typical of HC

Just imho of course

Smogie on Twitter saying Wood also plays right back.

[Lago]

Can't help but be slightly underwhelmed by a 31 year old Clyde goalkeeper on deadline day. Wish him all the best if he's joined but it isn't an appealing position on the pitch and not from a club with much intrigue.

On paper a boring signing. Hopefully wins us a cup with penalty saves or something.
Agree, bit under whelming.

[DJ HIBBY]

I know that he wanted to come to hibs but as far as I know hibs wouldn’t pay £400k fee. Don’t think it was down to wages in truth. This was a couple of months ago so things may have changed but suspect more down to the fee than wages

[PatHead]

The best moment of transfer deadline day was when Deek re-signed. Can't believe that was 13 years ago.

On the whole pretty nothing days.

[Callum_62]

Who have hearts signed that give them so much depth?

I seen there fans screaming about lack of signings a few weeks ago

I said hearts and Aberdeen have better squads this season.

Not that we should swap our squads or Hibs have it wrong.

Would you really expect a 3rd choice keeper to be exciting? He’s only going to play in an absolute emergency, and therefore won’t necessitate a big wage. Given his age and experience, he’s perfect for third choice.

Remember the transfer window when we signed Mark Brown and Graeme Smith, who both had decent reputations at the time and would get wages that reflected that, to challenge alongside Stack and Makalamby? Both were a disaster.

[Hibernia&Alba]

Bit personal.

:not worth

:top marks

[The Harp Awakes]

He wants to play every week. Don’t think Hibs could promise him that which suggests we have someone else lined up. If we haven’t I’ll be well pissed off.

McPake and Griffiths are big pals so likely Griffiths had verbally agreed to sign for Dundee before Hibs bid came in (if true).

What doesn't add up is why Hibs would leave it so late to make a bid for him (again if true). Maybe our no1 target fell through?

All speculation, but the bottom line is we need another striker in and it's questionable we're going to get one. If we don't it's not good as we're 1 injury away from being totally threadbare up front.

I certainly don't struggle with some of nonsense the you spout.

You don’t struggle, so you understand it?

I’m failing to see what’s so offensive about me suggesting Hearts and Aberdeen are stronger this season.

I’m not saying our squad is poor but we need another striker.

[Looper]

I really don’t see the fuss about Griffiths. He’s hardly kicked a baw apart from his garden

[Souter96Mac]

Lewis Vaughan out with another ACL injury at Raith. Wonder if they'll come back in for Gullan

Real shame for him, seems to have plenty talent and potential but no luck with injuries.

Interesting to see if they go for Gullan or if Killie get him.

[Col2]

Lucky with injuries? We had Newell, Cadden, Murphy and Magennis all out for lengthy spells and that's just off the top of my head

I meant in areas we knew we were light - central defense and strikers.

[JammyDoidger]

All these folk 'ITK', why come out with all this now? Slavers.

The goalie signing just seems weird to me.

I read his wiki page and it mentions that we were interested in him in 2014-2015. That was the first season in the Championship iirc, so it would have been the first season with the current "recruitment structure" in place.

Maybe he's a player that Mathie has felt might be due a shot at a higher level? It looks like he signed for Dundee a year or so after that, a time when they must have been in the Premier League so playing at a higher level than us. He didn't get much of a game for them though.

Signing someone who is 31 just to sit miles out of the first team picture just seems peculiar. Is there a reason why Craig Samson couldn't continue to do that job?

I'm not incensed about it. Just find it a bit of a weird use of a wage.

Was he receiving rave reviews? Was he even playing?

The point is, if he's basically never going to play why have we had to wait until end of transfer window. He'd be perfect 3rd choice weeks ago surely? I know there is a chain event thing here but a third choice goalkeeper on deadline day, come on...

[Hibs3-2]

Gullan to Killie been agreed for days. Perm deal rather than loan. Hold up is Hibs end.

Cant see Nisbet leaving today. No official bids yet.

Clyde keeper is a done deal.

I recon that will be our lot today - may get a free agent/journeyman in coming weeks

[BoomtownHibees]

Hibs had the chance to sign him but wouldnt match his wages. Under 5k a week. Should have been all over that.

You’re getting a bit of a hard time on here for posting something you heard however I also heard we had offered him £4k a week and he was advised to sit tight and something financially better would come along.

Folk can choose to believe what they read on here or not however they shouldn’t be so quick to shout others down when they’re sharing stuff
