Winter 2021-22 transfer thread

Imagine the meltdown this would be so typical of hibs.

Led by the likes of you.

There’s no indication we are still interested in McGrath. I’d assume if we were we’d have made a move before now instead of signing Henderson.

I said at the time I thought the signing of Henderson indicated we weren't after McGrath.

I don't know enough about Henderson so not sure if he could play left of a front 3? But instead of who?

Not sure he could play a little deeper like JDH?

Anyway I'd be surprised if McGrath is one we are looking at.

St Johnstone sign Hallberg

🆕✍🏻| The football club is delighted to announce Melker Hallberg has signed on an 18 month deal.

Welcome to Saints!

Imagine the meltdown this would be so typical of hibs.

I don't need to waste my time imagining anything. Your meltdown would be here for all to see.

Most other folk would just shrug it off and look forward to seeing our new players in the weeks ahead.

In any case, we're not trying to sign McGrath.

Aberdeen surely? They've made it no secret they've been talking to him.

Aberdeen will have learned their lesson after the Scott McKenna saga.

This is great for Scottish football in my opinion. It means that the 'glass ceiling' for value of players in Scottish game is being raised. Will have a beneficial effect on other clubs, such as us, when we sell players

If Ramsay played in Glasgow for the uglies they’d be asking at least double. Good money.

I agree, there is also the added little nugget that the bid is from Europe. The c**p in the press about how its Brexit that has upped the price of young Scottish players (the idea that teams down South are looking up here because there are no work permit issues, otherwise they would go elsewhere) is shown up by the fact it isn't English teams bidding for them.
We can produce good young talent in Scotland and its getting recognised, a good thing that will benefit us eventually.

Yup, when it comes to transfers in a global sport, there are no long term upsides to stopping our own freedom of movement, which is what Brexit has done.

[Highwayman]

With the actual signings in January and I read in a report on the incoming Runar Hauge that another unnamed signing could be imminent.

Add to that the ongoing speculation regarding Reagan Charles-Cook and Jamie McGrath.

This suggests to me that Maloney is not entirely happy with the players he has inherited and is determined to make changes.

Could this mean that there may be possible outgoings of players not usually named amongst the usual suspects ?

[GloryGlory]

I wonder when we will hear of the Hauge signing? Will we have to wait until the media team have done the full Hollywood epic treatment, following him around all day filming his every move? I remember when a photae of a player with a scarf above his head was sufficient announcement. :greengrin

I would say this number of signings definitely suggests maloney is not happy with what he inherited!

And rightly so. It was a squad full of dull players other than outgoing Boyle and benched Allan. What is the big worry is that the club kept investing in ross's style and giving out néw contracts, right up to the point he was sacked.

Turning over a squad on this scale rarely works out and that makes me nervous. Fingers crossed here.

Just don't take a photo on deadline day of all the signings in a row. I would then definitely be worried!!

He's just a young lad learning his way, is it a Scottish thing that everything is micro analysed, I see some of the stick Campbell and Doig get, written off after below par performances, or a few mistakes, something that has to be expected from any young person learning any job, I do wonder how these young boys cope with the pressure!

I didn't think he looked to clever against us not against St Mirren, having a look at what Aberdeen fans were saying the other night was that they thought they would be lucky to get 2m and now we're are talking close to 5m. Fantastic for any club that can get that money, and brilliant that clubs in Scotland are now getting decent money. Doesn't take away from the fact that from the little I have seen of him he hasn't looked all that good .

Hopefully he does what's best for him and goes on to have a fantastic career.

Absolute guesswork here but I wonder if Gary Caldwells links to Man City could see us interested in this guy.

It was his players. His team.

Yeah Ross built that squad, so he can't complain about backing.

Turning it into an attacking entertaining side is a real challenge for Maloney though and that's why we have the huge churn risk taking place now.

Fortunately young Josh seems to be coping very well. His second season was bound to see him attract more attention from opponents trying to nullify his game… he is progressing nicely.

Back to topic: if anyone offers close to £5m Aberdeen will surely take it? Huge money for a young player in Scotland.

Surprised none of his fans have started an appreciation thread on here.

Maybe they don’t rate him that highly after all?

Anyhow, good luck to him… a decent, tidy player no doubt. Absolutely no surprise he is going as he never really cemented his place in our team, but he could well make us look a bit foolish.

Much as the transfer window in winter has become the norm, I find the window is tedious and boring.

All it does is sell newspapers and increase clicks on ridiculous rumours. What would these newspapers print if it didn't print speculative sh*te. And almost all of it is sh*te. The winter window gives agents the chance to unsettle players and increase the fees agents get. A sad indictment of the game today.

Know there is likely to be little chance of it happening, but I feel player transfers should revert back to when you could sign players at anytime.

The separate transfer windows to me just serves the agents, because I am sure football clubs would prefer the option to sign players when they want.

Said it before but Allan to Killie would be really bad for us.

Would kill the progression and game time of Dylan Tait as they’d both be competing for a similar position.

He might. Some players do kick on when having the confidence that their position in the starting line up is secure.

Like I say, no surprise he is leaving, but if he turns in a MOTM performance against us I won’t be surprised.

Agreed.Don’t understand where the Hallberg Appreciation Society has suddenly appeared from.

He seemed a decent player,but he never did enough to convince he should be a regular starter.

Wish him all the best at St Johnstone but unless things significantly improve for them soon,he could spend a good lot of his 18 months of contract in the Championship.

St Johnstone are desperate for a regular reliable goal scorer and that is definitely not Hallberg.

JR was very clear, after the summer transfer window, that the club had significantly failed to get the player he needed and asked for. He was badly let down. But he’s gone now so we support Shaun Maloney and hope he has benefited for those previous failings.

Wish Allan all the best for the rest of his career, some great memories and the 19/20 season was his best for me.

[Brightside]

JR was very clear, after the summer transfer window, that the club had significantly failed to get the player he needed and asked for. He was badly let down. But he’s gone now so we support Shaun Maloney and hope he has benefited for those previous failings.

Would have been good to see what JR would have done with 6 new players.... but we will never know. Fully behind Shan. :wink::greengrin

No longer got any interest in McGrath and we didn’t place any bids for Sibbick, according to the EEN.

Don't think so.

I keep getting told that these players are not bang average as they got 3rd last season, if that's the case why did Ross struggle to get a song out of them this season?

Because you need to improve your squad as others around you do?

Ross had us flying before Doidge/Magennis got injured and Porteous suspended as well. He also reached another cup final.

How many of ross signings are a big part of our plans with maloney, like genuianly?

I’d say cadden, JDH, Nisbet, Mueller.

Not saying that’s good terrible or brilliant. Just looking at the evidence.

[Hibiza]

On both stated.

[I'm Spartacus]

Anyone worried? The window closes and we've not added any experience, 3, 4, 5 games come and go and we're up against it.

The Cove experience just fills me with fear.

I am concerned that yes our signing policy is clearly young, hungry players with a potential to grow and sell on for a big profit.

But is there a lack of canny street wise characters? Absolutely imo.

We miss a Scott brown type, even Marvin Bartley. Know when to slow it down play on a foul and the complete opposite.

Midfield is still our weakest position imo, followed by centre forward.

Defence is done, very strong there.

We definitely need to add experienced good quality up front as losing Boyle mid season needs to be addressed along with a striker that can play Maloney’s style. Most of our attacking signings seem to be for the future. If we don’t add in this window I fear the season will be over. Fingers crossed 🤞

[Col2]

Just a tad. We have zero creativity and drive from midfield. We have little width and other than a left wing back in Mitchell zero pace. We can’t create and can’t convert as our strikers are either off form (Nisbet) for months or unfit (Doidge). We have now let Scott Allan go and already sent McKay on loan. Along with Boyle our best player by a mile.

Still it’s not Jack Ross so it’s probably all fine then. Right now this is a worse window than the summer overall.

[SMAXXA]

Said it before but Allan to Killie would be really bad for us.

Would kill the progression and game time of Dylan Tait as they’d both be competing for a similar position.

I don’t know why you’d be too worried they are different players and I don’t think it will make much difference to Tait as Killi need to improve that area of the pitch wether it’s Allan or not.

We have loads of experienced players. Its quality ones we need and so far, we seem to have signed them.

The cove experience where we battered them and had a goal disallowed which totally changes the game. Far too many folk worrying about one match. You never see talk of winning the league based on one match, so why do you expect us to be up against it based on one match?

Up against what btw? We've won 3 of our last 5 league games, and every team below us in the table is quite clearly worse than us. We'll be 5th at worst assuming Maloney isn't another Butcher. Also think we're a better side than Motherwell.

This is where I am. The security of strength in the middle to control and build the team around, I won't even suggest a McGinn type player as he's a £60M man, but a figurehead to set an example and set the standards.

I'm worried, but 100% willing to give him a chance obviously.

Henderson made some good balls forward in the Motherwell game, Mueller is still getting up to fitness but has shown signs of being a talent and able to get away from his man and by the sounds of it Melkersen will be a find. Rocky looks excellent and Harry Clarke when back to fitness will be excellent too. Magennis to come back very soon too.

I think it's been a good window but we could still do with another wide player and perhaps another striker.

Our squad definately has more depth at the moment and you haven't really seen Clarke, Melkerson or to a certain degree mitchell play

I’m no sure it can be considered a good window so far.

From about November, it was all about the transfer window. It’s come and we’ve added players but very few have made any impact or are ready to make an impact. Couple that with losing our best player.

I hope the likes of Henderson and Melkerson can bee good in time but I’m not sure in terms of the remainder of this season. Thought we needed to strengthen middle of the park and in the forward areas and I don’t think we have, to the point that Drey Wright is getting a game.

I have absolutely no idea how good a side we are - Hibs are sending me very mixed signals at the moment.

It's a results business and Maloney's results have been good so far.

It's also quite hard to get optimistic about a team who struggle to muster any attempts on goal.

All the players coming in sound good on paper, who knows how they might perform on the park.

Nothing would surprise me with this Hibs team - anything from clicking immediately and forcing their way up and into third, all the way down to a Butcheresque freefall.

Agreed. I don’t understand the comments that because he couldn’t nail a starting place he is deemed pish. You need squad players - and you want to be able to rely on these guys when you need to call on them. Halberg was a Steady Eddie type. Stepped into a variety of positions when needed and never let anyone down. I wish the guy well.

Sent from my VOG-L29 using Tapatalk

Clarke is a defender and I think we have added fairly well on this area. Mitchell is as well in a place where Doig plays which doesn’t make sense. He isn’t a winger. Melkerson may be great but not proven so we have nothing to base it on yet.

I don’t see where we will create from midfield. We are so slow and defensive. Boyle masked this by being go to player. Allan may not be fit enough but he has proven people wrong several times and is only bit of true quality remaining in midfield. Henderson has had a slow start.

The key question for me is without Boyle now, where are the goals getting created from?

[tamig]

That would make it worse
I would prefer the one window in the summer and that's it shut once the season starts

What we are lacking in centre mid is that player who can close down off the ball, and who plays sharp little 1-2s in possession (to drag the opposition mid out of shape & give opportunities to our sharp forwards to find space)

Right now the slow & I'd say timid & unimaginative centre mid makes us very easy to play against

Scott Allan isn't the quality we require anymore. I really wish people would realise that as it puts more pressure on him to perform when he does get onto the pitch, and I also hope that when he does depart for another club (looking as if it might be Killie) we can all wish him all the best rather than slaughtering the club for a decision that makes sense in terms football wise and financially.

I agree. I don’t know how anybody could come to the conclusion that this window is worse than the summer. Maloney is barely in the door and I’m pretty excited to see some of the new guys who’ve yet to take a bow. Hope we get Magennis back fit again sharpish too.

Hopeful we’ll get Boyles replacement by Monday. Need someone with similar attributes but also the goals/assists we get. He conceded that him, and the players, are trying to adapt to life without Boyle as he was a huge part of our attack.

Hague is close but he’ll be one for Steve Keans ‘B team’.

If Allan wants to leave he’s happy to have a conversation with him about that.

He did have a purple patch scoring wise Never done that before in such a short space of time
But if he could reproduce that again a place needs to be found for him as he has scored more goals for us than current midfield altogether and he will have a dig from distance

Good to see Kean expanding the development side to get ready for next season, our U18's are 3-4 years away from 1st team and we needed players to develop for the next 1-2 years.

[Dazzjw1875]

Still think we will try get another 2 in the door, we need an obvious replacement for boyle but still for me even with Kyle returning need a midfielder who can carry the ball and drive us forward.

How does lack of goals for hibs turn into a pumping [emoji848]

Because we'll just sit back and let them attack us. I think having Doidge up front with Nisbet would at least peg them back a bit, and Nisbet seems to recover his eye for goal when Doidge is around.

[JammyDoidger]

**** me, this place is utterly mental.

He's right, based on the last 3 games, we don't stand a chance, why lie to ourselves, im a realist and we are miles off it based on what I've seen from both sides.

There’s a few hertz k@!tz out tonight…

I didn’t take a personal shot but you are tempting me.

Hibs do not sit back at all under Maloney. Utter mince.

[Saint Hibee]

Not sure if you're referring to me or not, but the derby is the game I care about more than any other, and as it currently stands, I'm not feeling particularly confident. I'll be more than delighted to be proved wrong, but I'm just not convinced we've currently got the squad to take control of the game and create the chances to win ...

[Callum_62]

find it hard to believe there isn’t a 18yo Scottish keeper who could do thisLol.

And how many shots on target did we manage on Wednesday? Disagree with me if you want, but I don't think being concerned about our lack of goalscoring threat days before a derby is really that unreasonable as to count as "utter mince".

It's the exact opposite of what we do.

Lack of goalscoring threat is not the same as sitting back and inviting pressure. Yes, I'm sorry for being rude, but you are talking utter mince. In my opinion of course.

Not just tonight I'm afraid. I reckon there's been a few infiltrators been able to slip thru the net in the last couple of weeks.

[The dalmeny]

What's wrong with looking beyond our own borders for potential rough diamonds?

opportunity in football are few and far between, at that age, I’d personally rather see the chance given to a more local kid

[SaulGoodman]

I’ve seen worse Hibs teams beat better Hearts teams and vice versa.

[Unseen work]

Tam McManus saying a couple of Scottish teams interested in Charles cook.

I imagine that’s an educated guess.

Dundee United, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs fans all seem to think it’s their team.

Said it before I’m not sure how I feel about it, undoubtedly he’s had a brilliant season but is that a purple patch or has he finally found his game?

Never had a season even close to this before

[Bobby's Cinema]

Difficult as fans to know what we need at the moment until we have more of an idea if the new signings are good enough to slot straight into the starting 11.

If that's the case - and I don't think these guys were brought to warm the bench - then I don't see the need to panic.

I do tend to agree though that we could do with proven experience at this level, always feel the key to teams finishing in europe is usually consistency of keeping a squad together and proven experience.

I remember us losing 7 0 a few days before a derby. We won 2 1 with 2 of the best derby goals I've ever seen. Im always fearful before a derby but spouting total and unnecessary negativity is ludicrous.

What a daft attitude to football. You care more about the hearts game that any other game. It’s just nonsensical.

What a daft attitude to football. You care more about the hearts game that any other game. It’s just nonsensical.

Are you actually serious? The most important game to win for me is against the Jambo's. They are our biggest rivals. They probably work beside you, and you have to see their smug face when they have won.

Daft attitude. Away and chase yourself...

The reason we probably have such a poor derby record is because of attitudes like his mate, that's the game we look for when the fixtures get announced, it's more than just 3 points.

You've said this before but believe it or not there's a large section of our support care about derby games more than any other, me included. nothing nonsensical about it. And I'm talking about league games of course, cup games are obviously as important.

[superfurryhibby]

Aye, the attitude of people on Hibs Net really determines the outcome of the derby, definitely.

[JimBHibees]

In transition and undoubtedly going to get better. Hertz are average and nothing to be worried about. Will focus on that game when it is the next one. We have a tough game tomorrow.

We reached the League Cup final versus a Celtic team that had Rogic, Turnbull, Kyogo and McGregor - got the same result as them minus all 4. They've only won 3 more league games, we are both in the next round of the Scottish Cup - we should have won at Tynecastle. I worry more about my yoghurts going out of date than Hearts :aok:

I just really don't get a good feeling around Maloney, far too much of a nice guy for me, not much character, not what I like in a manager, willing to give him time but the last 3 games is worrying, we should still be on a new manager bounce not failing to get a shot on target, never seen anything like it. Hopefully something clicks tomorrow and he doesn't start nisbet as a lone striker for a start but we will see.

Take your own advice and give him time then :aok:. I've got my doubts about his appointment but I'll not be judging him until he's had at least a couple of dozen games.

Guardiola and Köpp come across as right *****, eh?

[IberianHibernian]

find it hard to believe there isn’t a 18yo Scottish keeper who could do thisDo what ? If only fill a place in an Under 18 team then leave Hibs soon after then you`re probably right . But if you`re talking of real talent who might make our first team regularly and then we sell to a richer club ( don`t like adding that but seems to be normal now ) then there doesn`t seem to be an alternative . I remember when Iker Casillas was called into a Real Madrid squad for a Champions League match when he was still at school . Hopefully we would do the same if any goalie ( or other position ) shows enough to merit playing . If we`ve signed this goalie it`s because there isn`t anyone else available of same age who shows same promise .

So you actually care more about what your work colleagues think or say to you after a game of football than the actual football itself. It’s proving my point. That’s nothing to do with supporting Hibs and everything to do with petty tribalism.

3-4 pages of people bickering over Hearts and the derby on a transfer thread, 5 mins of my life I'll not get bad :confused:

Do you ever have a good feeling about anything?

[Saint Hibee]

I think you’ll find pretty much every genuine football fan on the planet cares most about derby games … Is our game against Hearts really “just another game” to you? My original comment was about hoping to acquire some new attacking threat before next week; not sure why that’s so controversial on a transfer thread?

Still working on Boyle replacement.

Doesn’t expect anymore incomings after Hague and Boyle replacement.

Still expects Allan to be here at end of window.

Melkersen could take a while.

Rocky was his first choice target when he joined and we didn’t bid for Sibbick.

Rocky has looked very good so far so let’s hope the Boyle replacement is another Maloney pick of the same standard

[bordergreen]

It’s daft. Small minded tribalism.

It is not small minded. I consider myself to be a fairly intelligent individual. I still want us to pump the Jambo's more than I want us to pump St Mirren, or, anyone else. I think you are on a hiding to nothing with this argument... Just sayin like

I hope Melkerson makes the squad ASAP

I think he probably did pick up a knock

He's obviously massively rated and I think there's an element of trying to ease the immediate pressure on the young player from Maloney
