Doig done deal

[CMurdoch]

Hibs head coach Jack Ross tells BBC Scotland that Josh Doig - left out of the squad today - is "highly likely" to leave the club soon.
"He's been the subject of a lot of attention and much more concrete interest over the last few days," says Ross.
"For us and for Josh, it needs to reach a head one way or the other.
"I'd like to keep him, but it looks more likely he'll leave the club fairly soon. There's still a number of suitors."

Just a question of who and for how much

Would have liked to have seen the kid play once
Good luck Josh

So... not a done deal 😅

[Borderhibbie76]

So... not a done deal 😅

It's done, bar the confirmation JR was quite certain in what he said and Hibs don't normally go public with these things...sadly it looks like we've seen the last of Doig

[Irish_Steve]

He’s rubbish according to the football experts on Brokeback. Imagine getting even £3m for a player they let go, they won’t even get a development fee lol

[1van Sprou7e]

It's done, bar the confirmation JR was quite certain in what he said and Hibs don't normally go public with these things...sadly it looks like we've seen the last of Doig

Aye, aat least we should get good money for him though

Fingers crossed for a loan back for the season, would be massive

[Borderhibbie76]

i'm sure hertz get twenty five quid or some incredibly low amount :hmmm:

Do we have a backup RB?

[Eyrie]

Just another in the long list of left backs that Stevenson has seen off :greengrin

Doig is a very good young player with the potential to be excellent, so let's hope that wherever he ends up is the right place to continue his development.

As regards the fee, I'd be happy with £3m up front and generous add ons for appearances, caps and a future percentage. Also promotion if he's off to the English Championship (even on loan from the purchaser).

Totally forgot about him, what's his injury status?

Really liked the look of him when he came into the team

[CMurdoch]

So... not a done deal 😅

JR never tells us anything in interviews that isn't done.
Doig is gone.
Be interesting to see if he is at Fir Park today.

[Since452]

Good luck to him. Will be a very good move for him us going by what Mathie said recently.

Deal or No Deal - I may market that as a TV idea....

[CmoantheHibs]

That was my thoughts too. Seems like a good fit.

[Stuart93]

Deal or No Deal - I may market that as a TV idea....

Good headline sure enough, if he is going then all the very best to a potential superstar ex Hibs player, an the hertz let him go.............:thumbsup:

[Wakeyhibee]

If we get a good deal (as has been rumoured) then well done Hibs and a nod to Tierney & Robertson for highlighting the fact Scottish football has been under sold for a long time.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Got a feeling its Leeds he's away to.


got a few mentions during the january window but the rumours cooled


Junior Firpo was signed from Barca for the LB role a few weeks back

[cannastar]

good luck to the laddie hope its a decent set up he is off to. certainly if its leeds he will improve playing amongst the standard of players they have and if under bielsas tutorage then he sky could be the limit for him. going by what i have saw of him i think he would fit in as he seems to have copious energy which would be a must for leeds. lets hope the fee is as much as is being predicted on here.

[Allez Hibs]

Not to worry, we still have Lewy.

[Since90+2]

Would suit their style of play, they are a high energy team and Doig has that athleticism to his game.

[neil7908]

I hope all the talk of £5m is true and we've stuck to our guns.

[Since452]

5 million plus add-ons would be brilliant business. Hope it's something like that. Even better business getting him on a long contract last season.

[Unseen work]

Not sure we’ll get the 5 million, certainly not all upfront. I’d imagine 3 with add on’s.

McCart in as replacement. Money plus Wright.

[CMurdoch]

So it’s not a done deal?

Have you seen JR's interviews.
Cagier than a cagey thing that's just been caged.
Tells us nowt.
Doig probably gone pending a medical and Hibs medical team and thus JR will already know his condition which I presume is A1.

True. Although I think he's at least 18 months away from playing Premier League football so whoever signs him will see him as a long term project.

Not sure. Jack is generally cagey - if he's coming out telling us a player is away then I think we can safely assume it's just a case of dotting i's etc.

Hope we have his replacement lined up soon as we've got games coming thick and fast now.

Agreed. Without actually saying it's a done deal he got as close as you can without saying those words.

[Andy74]

Given there are multiple clubs bidding though and it looks like the player wants to leave, it would be a huge surprise if it doesn't go through. No chance Jack is discussing it as openly if we're not close.

That's what I meant. He normally goes to great lengths to tell us a whole lot of nothing but on this occasion he has all but told us that Doig is moving on.

This would be in incredible deal for Hibs if rumoured figures are correct. Shame to see a talented young player go but for £4/5m it’s a no brainer. Should allow us to strengthen in various positions all over the park.

Jamie Robson left back from Dundee Utd. Their manager dropped a wee clue in his post match interview although he didn't name the interested party. Lincoln City apparently have a bid in of £200k plus lots of add ons but Hibs could beat that.

Im guessing around 60% of any transfer fee will go to help valance the books tbh.

If it was just ‘likely’ he would have played today in a huge game. The fact he didn’t tells me it’s all but done.

Balance what books? We keep being told we have insurance for last year and the loan we got from the government. We have no debt other than that and that’s paid over a very long period. Would expect some to be ring-fenced for infrastructure projects like stadium improvements/indoor pitch at HTC, would be very disappointed if a large chunk wasn’t made available to take our team to the next level.

How much do St Mirren get? Must be at least the standard 30% yeah?!!

Sadly, Hearts will be getting a 20-30% through their sell on clause.

What's that you say ?

:rotflmao:

[Paul1642]

Gutted to be losing him however if the price is right and the player wants to go then unfortunately we will always loose our top young players. For the first time in a long time I actually feel optimistic that a fair amount of the fee received might end up back on the park 🤞🏻. Also hope we negotiate a big sell on clause because he could go far.

Adam Masina and Danny Rose at Watford he'll be doing very well to get a game at Watford.

Could potentially be looking at a club record fee (plus hopefully a decent sell on fee too) for a player that has only played one full season for the first team, good deal all round. Lads definitely got a bright future and seems to have his head screwed on too, wish him all the best!

Been discussed before and has nothing to do with being let go or not offered contracts. In international transfers there is a small percentage that is allocated to all teams that played a part in the development of the player.

I’ll be honest - as much as I would like to keep hold of such a promising young asset who made himself a regular last season, if we do end up getting more money for Josh (assuming decent sell-on as well) than what Nisbet was linked for a few months ago, and end up Keeping Nisbet until at least January, I will be delighted.

What about all the good things he did including his involvement on the touch line and pass to Newell which set up equaliser. Then his sprint from one touch line to the other to put in a superb challenge when they broke up field??

He was on the halfway line when he lost the ball but he ended up being fouled?? Why would that have cost us a goal. Plenty of players there to cover. All if what’s and maybes and looking for any excuse to put Lewis down.

Easy to pick some players errors.

I may be reading this wrong (and thanks for providing the info) but as far as I am aware, Josh didn`t move during a contract - he didn`t actually have a contract with Hearts or have I got that completely wrong.

Surely that makes the opening sentence redundant

compensation, not including training compensation paid to his former club,

I will throw this situation out there. JR brought through a similar young player at Sunderland Denver Hume who currently is out of contract at Sunderland .He has been offered improved new contract, as their no 1 choice normally but has not signed it surprisingly. Sunderland say he needs to make up mind before August 7th. He is a decent left wing back IMO and JR seems in interview wants Joshs situation to be resolved quickly . Just putting this out there, he does have a hamstring injury at present so you have to ask why he has not signed new contract ,unless another coming in ?

It`s the bit in bold that causes me confusion (it`s easily done). Josh didn`t move DURING a contract, he didn`t actually have a contract with Hearts. Is that correct? I`m not trying to be pendantic, just don`t want them to get a silly penny from any money we make

I'm getting ready to go upto Easter Road and clap outside after dark.

Due to current restrictions. They should be booking slots available.

He's moving during the contract he has with us.

What about all the good things he did including his involvement on the touch line and pass to Newell which set up equaliser. Then his sprint from one touch line to the other to put in a superb challenge when they broke up field??

He was on the halfway line when he lost the ball but he ended up being fouled?? Why would that have cost us a goal. Plenty of players there to cover. All if what’s and maybes and looking for any excuse to put Lewis down.

Easy to pick some players errors.

Was superb today for me.

He had a sound game. Superb you must be joking.

Fair enough. So Hearts get money even though he was on the scrap-heap as far as they were concerned. Maybe we should buy Hickey

[Hibbyradge]

Josh signed for us when he was 17 so, using the above table, it looks like hearts are entitled to 1.75% of the total compensation paid for him by the time he reaches the age of 23, if he was there from age 12. Less if he was older when he joined them.

That must mean they get nothing for another 4 years, and if he isn't transferred before 2025, they get 1.75% of the amount we receive. I'm not sure who pays that though.

He was excellent. Up and down the park, making goal saving tactics, always available.

[JohnMcM]

Anyone think we should spend the money on our very own Plaza ?

Could do that of course, but personally I would like to see us buy a high-rise holiday balcony in Bulgaria and fill it with giant dry-your-eyes tissues and soft gloves for solo-crying hand-clapping.:greengrin

It'll be curtains for Ron if that's the case.


He’ll certainly have to put on his tin pelmet.

Those puns are really sheet.

Back on topic. If we get £4m then we can use some to cover losses from last year and still reinvest in the team with a replacement LB, another CH and Mueller's early arrival. I think another striker would only be needed if Nisbet is expected to be sold during this window,

Says the new club withholds 5% from us for those payments. Would imagine it would get paid straight away.

Should Josh leave then who will they sign ? .If you remember JR and GM have said several times that they had plans if any of Josh,Kevin or Ryan would leave.
I will throw this situation out there. JR brought through a similar young player at Sunderland Denver Hume who currently is out of contract at Sunderland .He has been offered improved new contract, as their no 1 choice normally but has not signed it surprisingly. Sunderland say he needs to make up mind before August 7th. He is a decent left wing back IMO and JR seems in interview wants Joshs situation to be resolved quickly . Just putting this out there, he does have a hamstring injury at present so you have to ask why he has not signed new contract ,unless another coming in ?

Hume is a good player, but he's been part of a team that hasn't done what it set out to do over the past couple of years so he'll be a bit tainted by that. Not sure he's stood out enough at Sunderland to get a much better offer than he's ever going to get from Sunderland, certainly not from us. I'm also not sure how much his injury will be hampering his options right now.

We could do far worse than Hume, but I think we've got to accept that replacing Doig is going to be a tough ask.

Made me laugh.
