Summer 2021-22 transfer thread

[007]

Please sign a striker Hibs. More fit goalkeepers than strikers is criminal.

Or if you can't sign a striker, break Macey's leg.

[Smartie]

Jack Ross isn't remote from the the recruitment process, he's a big part of it. There could well have been strikers available that he didn't want.

As long as the board didn't shift the goalposts in terms of budget, I don't think Ross will be angry. Probably just frustrated like the rest of us.

I'd like to be a fly on the wall there when someone mentions that Will Grigg is out of the picture at Sunderland though.

[Greencore]

Due to the financial implications of the pandemic, a wee screen is all we can afford. If it breaks we have no replacement in reserve 😂

[King Cosell]

Behave.

[GreenCastle]

Why has nobody done that yet this season?

Well Dundee drew with us and Livi were awful.

We have only played 2 games with a limited strike force. Relying on Nisbet and Scott won’t get us 3rd.

is give us a striker


57 mins + injury time

[Silky]

Well Dundee drew with us and Livi were awful.

We have only played 2 games with a limited strike force. Relying on Nisbet and Scott won’t get us 3rd.

The comment I responded to was quite specific though. "stop Boyle and Nisbet and you will probably beat us". We're unbeaten. I was merely asking, if it's that simple, why none of the managers who have come up against us so far have done that?

[cabbageandribs1875]

ryan christie to bournemouth= £2.5m

[One Day Soon]

If we pick up a striker injury any time soon and then slide this place will be like the O.K. Corral. Just saying.

[ahibby]

Thankfully Boyle and Magennis have been the goal merchants so we don't need to rely on them

You can also count on our CBs to chip in with headers from set pieces. Also young MacKay has been on target a couple of times and will surely convert chances into goals soon.

So we go with Nisbet and Scott up front until Doidge is back, with Boyle to play further forward if either gets injured / suspended.

He can buy a house on Sandbanks or Lilliput and the lifestyle would be wonderful.. Compare that to Burnley!!! I know where I would rather be.

[Silky]

I think Jack prefers to go with one of two. We seem to have been going 4-2-3-1 recently with one central striker (Nisbet), Boyle and Murphy wide and Magennis as attacking mid. That leaves Scott, Gullan and, potentially, Dan MacKay
in reserve.

[ahibby]

Oh good, the way some are going on I thought we’d be putting the ****ing cardboard kangaroos up front.

Never mind cardboard, lets get Martin to bring back a couple of real ones. That,ll scare defences.

[AdidasHibernian]

Presume the young lad from Raith is a talent we've been keen on behind the scenes for a while.

Not the striker we need but could prove to be the next SJM type player in terms of future value for us. Happy enough that we are looking to the future.

Have to say when I go to the top of this thread and see all the players we've gotten off the books compared to the few we have brought in I am a bit surprised we've not brought in at least one more permanent signing to fight for a first team place.

Feel sorry for the keeper we’ve yet to announce .. social media will be more ‘announce striker’ than ‘welcome’

Murphy - crocked

Gogic - horrendous

[HibsGW]

He’s going from Celtic to the championship though remember, not the premier league, Scott Brown etc was on 35k recently at Celtic, no chance championship teams are paying amounts like that.

[bingo70]

A lot less than if there had been paying spectators.

Remember they would have got big grants or interest free loans to cover the last year or so as well.

Not exactly big attendances they needed to replace the funds from.

[CMurdoch]

The reported figure for Ali McCann is £1m, if they loose McCann and Kerr for £1.5m then that's a dull one.

Losing Jason Kerr will hurt them badly
He was the main guy at the back.
Hanlon type, 8 out of 10 every week. Solid and dependable.

Ali McCann is a good player as well but will be more easily replaced.
Presume Ali Crawford is his replacement for the season.

Painful but inevitable after their European exit.

[Col2]

I think once we get that goalie in then we are done. We might get the Middlesbrough defender in as well but not done yet.

Looks like we have tried to make some moves but come up short.

We have to hope we can get to Xmas and still in the hunt for top 6 and then Mueller and Doidge .

I was slated for this approx 12 hours ago. My only amend would be we should be fine for top 6 but we will be very fortunate not to be playing catch up with Aberdeen and Hearts. 2 strikers for 20 + games = Russian roulette.

[Unseen work]

A striker just isn’t happening, so disappointing and the same as January.

Hopefully it doesn’t come back to bite us, I already thought we were too reliant on Nisbet, Doidge and Boyle never mind one of them being injured.

Still think it has been a decent window. If Cadden is almost fit Boyhe can go up top. Boyle, Nisbet, Scott, and Gullan doesn't seem too bad until Doidge gets fit again. No point signing garbage to fill the bench.

He is third choice keeper I don’t think fans are that bothered we were expecting more and it’s turned into a complete damp squib as far as last days go in the transfer market
Ross said he wanted a centre half and a striker
I don’t for one minute think he will be happy with whst we have done today
Really disappointed ismt reaction Yes we have kept key players But we were led to believe we didn’t need to sell to strengthen
But with Doidge and Murphy out we haven’t brought in what was needed
Hoping we get no further injuries or we will struggle
The young centre half needs game time now to show what he can do

FWIW I fully understand that it’s not part of the arrangement however I think not making it part of the arrangement was the stupid bit.

Few nerds in the back office get to exchange spreadsheet information, brilliant. Won’t help the first team though, complete waste of time.

It’s actually counter productive if they’re then sending players we’re helping them with to direct rivals of ours. If we’re not helping them then there really is no point in the arrangement.

Shame for him as I think he’s a good player with a lot of potential but he needs games.

Don’t think Ross trusts him.

I wouldn’t trust McManus either.

FWIW I fully understand that it’s not part of the arrangement however I think not making it part of the arrangement was the stupid bit.

Few nerds in the back office get to exchange spreadsheet information, brilliant. Won’t help the first team though, complete waste of time.

It’s actually counter productive if they’re then sending players we’re helping them with to direct rivals of ours. If we’re not helping them then there really is no point in the arrangement.

Wha your suggesting we stop them from trading with other clubs in our league? Pretty disrespectful to the work and scope of this partnership to refer to it as a couple of spreadsheets you have no idea how this is working and what benefits it may bring further down the line, not necessarily directly as in getting a player.

MCGrath to Hibs with Drey Wright going to St Mirren?

https://twitter.com/FinleyHFC_/status/1432833311521583107

Not even st mirren would fall into this trap

[Mon Dieu4]

Wonder what Cherno Samba or To Madeira are up to these days?

[Unseen work]

St Mirren fans very nervous the McGrath and Wright deal is happening.

Someone saying 2 are leaving them and 2 are coming in. 2 leaving expected to be McPherson and McGrath.

I just can’t see us getting McGrath especially with Tait joining too. Unless we somehow shift a couple of centre mids or guys like Wright.

Magennis, Allan and McGrath would all be competing for the one position behind the striker

[BILLYHIBS]

or was it irvine jackson, i'm all confused with us going for players with surnames as forenames and vice versa and all that
That boy Allan Scott wiz a guid player

[Silky]

Early days yet, but Doyle-Hayes looks like one of the best bits of the business the club has done in years.

Also can't just dismiss how good it has been to hold onto our best players. They'd have taken a bit of replacing had we lost them.

We're a striker short and I think we're all bit frustrated about that, but it hasn't been a bad window.

Agreed. I think JDH is a fantastic signing and, from what I've seen so far, is a big factor in the way we play. Last season we all had a wee moan about the style of play-I think the style has improved with him in the middle. I also think he has helped in the form of Kyle Magennis.

We've tied down Boyle, kept Doig and Nisbet so it's not that bad. I still think there's a lot to be optimistic about.

[21sMay]

https://twitter.com/Kyle_Gunn97/status/1432834341973934082?s=20

I'd take him over a striker, can't believe I'm saying this but this boys a player and I reckon we could put magennis in behind nisbit if we got him

[yerauldda]

McGrath a good player but not at all what we need.

[Heisenberg]

Does McGrath not play number 10? Can’t imagine we’re desperate to sign in that area at the price rumoured for him.

[Peevemor]

There's nothing stupid about player swaps not being included, not at our first team level in any case. It's probably not even the same people at Brighton who deal with players at that level.

[Jim44]

The biggest achievement this window would be sorting out boylers contract, hopefully extending nisbet, keeping Doig. That’s better than bringing in players for me

Ggtth

:agree: Another signing or two, especially a striker, might have been the cherry on the cake but staying intact, along with the players we did sign, is fine with me ( Greg Wallace, Jambo ‘pleasing’ gif inserted)

[Greencore]

Right to the wire right to the f-ing wire.

I agree although St Mirren are desperate for a winger and they signed the boy Ronan who is a midfielder.

[cabbageandribs1875]

That boy Allan Scott wiz a guid player


at last, someone spells his name properly :)

[21sMay]

McGrath would be the signing of the window for us or Aberdeen .

[Vault Boy]

Does McGrath not play number 10? Can’t imagine we’re desperate to sign in that area at the price rumoured for him.

Fits the 'middle to front' player that Ross wants.

[Heisenberg]

McGrath surely to Aberdeen with Kennedy to St Mirren. Makes more sense than him coming here.

[Andy74]

McGrath played as a striker in Ireland and as a winger before moving more central.

Pretty disrespectful to the work and scope of this partnership to refer to it as a couple of spreadsheets you have no idea how this is working and what benefits it may bring further down the line, not necessarily directly as in getting a player.

No, km saying if we’re not going to use the partnership for players at a time when we really need players then it’s a stupid arrangement.

I’m sorry, time may prove me wrong but I just don’t believe we will ever see the direct benefits of this arrangements in the first team.

I know this isn’t a player exchange programme, I really get that but surely when we’re after players for specific positions on deadline day, if we are struggling elsewhere we could go to a club we’ve got a working relationship with?

If its a relationship where we work with them to share best practices sk they can send their young players on loan to our rivals then I think it’s an even worse deal.

[CapitalGreen]

Does McGrath not play number 10? Can’t imagine we’re desperate to sign in that area at the price rumoured for him.

Sounds like the area Ross wanted to bring someone in.

“I would still like one more, middle to front, I wanted that anyway and Jamie Murphy’s injury may determine whether we do more than one or who that might be.“

[Unseen work]

Unless Allan went the other way.

I did think this.

Would make sense with value of player and them getting a quality replacement.

[Andy74]

The Cat saying on Twitter we are in for McGrath


Might be pish 😃

Fairly typical. Was he saying anything until it’s posted everywhere else?

[Vault Boy]

I'd be really surprised if we can afford McGrath, but I'll be bouncing off the walls if we pull it off.

[04Sauzee]

McGrath surely to Aberdeen with Kennedy to St Mirren. Makes more sense than him coming here.

That's what's been going around for a while, St Mirren were in for Kennedy and Aberdeen want Mcgrath. It makes sense

What player do you want from Brighton?

This is where I'm at

[BegbieHSC]

If we’ve signed someone, Hibs will torture us and not make any announcement until 23:59.

After that time, if no signing has been announced, I’m gonna keep off Twitter and .net until the weekend.

[Magpie]

Mitchell officially announced.

I'm finding it hard to think what would be in it for Brighton to be involved in a more restrictive deal?

They've obviously felt like it was in their best interests to send the players on loan to the clubs they've sent them on loan to. We couldn't have accommodated them all.

Why would Brighton stop themselves from being able to send players to Aberdeen and St Johnstone?

[SMAXXA]

Too late in the window now I’d imagine to put a late bid in and tie all the details up.

[Stuart93]

Hahaha cheers hibs

[tonyrougier123]

He’s Alan Stubb’s man, he’s better than Zidane…

🤣🤣☝🏻

[JohnM1875]

Mitchell announced…….

Hmmm. Interesting that they haven't done the roundup yet.

[Unseen work]

My only thinking is we’ve announced Mitchell late because another good player is coming in.

Expect the “do you want another?” In the next couple of minutes

[The Harp Awakes]

I'd be really surprised if we can afford McGrath, but I'll be bouncing off the walls if we pull it off.

Stuff on twitter about hibs having £250k bid for McGrath knocked back a few days ago.

[Andy74]

Mitchell officially announced.

Brave.

[21sMay]

Seems like we've failed in any other bids for players . Announcing Mitchell alone makes me think this

[SaulGoodman]

Hmmm. Interesting that they haven't done the roundup yet.

I don’t think we’ve done a roundup for a few seasons now tbf

[Block]

Hope we declare soon. I'm halfway through my second bottle of wine. Come on Hibs ffs. Few minutes to go.

:greengrin

Or pulling it off until your bouncing off the walls. Or something. :greengrin

If they have let us wait for just Mitchell it's bad craic 🙈

[Stuart93]

This was my line of thinking

[SHODAN]

No business concluded thing. We're still going.

[Peevemor]

Even if nothing happens, at least we’ve been on the edge of our seats all night :faf:There's even been an air fryer thread that's passed you by.

[CB_NO3]

What position does McGrath play? Ill be honest,I have never heard of him.

[cabbageandribs1875]

2mins + injury time

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

My only thinking is we’ve announced Mitchell late because another good player is coming in.

Expect the “do you want another?” In the next couple of minutes

Yup. Defo

[BegbieHSC]

2 minutes Hibs. C’monnnn!!!

[bingo70]

No business concluded thing. We're still going.

I think we say that every year but there’s never actually a round up until the next again day.

[SloopJB]

Goalkeeper

We unpinned the Wood transfer announcement less than a minute ago. :hyper

Please don't replace it with a roundup tweet and no further signings!

[BILLYHIBS]

Announce Big Dave

29 League goals since he left us

[Unseen work]

Find it odd no credible source has linked us to McGrath.

[RossScott1991]

Why are people upset.

Nisbet, Boyle and Gullan for cover - plenty attacking midfield options to play off the front if we go 1 up top. Doidge back in 3 months, with also Mueller joining in January also.

More importantly we’ve kept Nisbet and Doig.

Boyle signed new deal. (New deals on table for porteous and nisbet also)

Good window if you ask me!

[Torto7]

Can we still make signings up until 1am? Or can I go to bed?

[Stuart93]

Mind you, social media admin is new to the job. Maybe doesn’t realise people stay up until they confirm we’re done

[AdidasHibernian]

[cabbageandribs1875]

PSG knocked back £180m for Mbappe from real madrid, he can sign a pre contract in january, wow

[Heisenberg]

Think folk were just guessing. BBC journalist who knows his St Mirren stuff said there was late interest in McGrath and it was after the English window had closed.

[Unseen work]

Last couple of windows the round up has came very late.

Each occasion I stayed up late hoping for something.

I’m doing the same again tonight.

I didn't think we'd come out of this window with Doig, Porteous, Boyle and Nisbet.

On reflection it hasn't been the worst window.

I think another option upfront and more people would’ve been a lot happier.

It’s been a decent window but I’d have preferred a permanent CB to come in as it leaves us in the same position next summer. Would’ve also liked to have seen another attacking player come in, even until January

[RossScott1991]

I didn't think we'd come out of this window with Doig, Porteous, Boyle and Nisbet.

On reflection it hasn't been the worst window.

Exactly. Maybe another striker would have been ideal, but I think we have enough quality in attacking areas to survive til Xmas / jan when we should have doidge and mueller back.

January might see then a new arrival depending on Nisbet again. But overall keeping all our best players and potentially having all of them sign improved contracts that benefit them and hibs is cracking business

[itslegaltender]

Sun now saying we offered Allan and Wright for McGrath
