Winter 2021-22 transfer thread

A fun sponge

I used to go out with her.

[Unseen work]

Jamie Murphy to Mansfield…..

[JamesHFC]

On the face of it a terrible signing imo. How much for him?

Haven’t seen a fee reported, Everton known for spending above and beyond though.

[Aldo]

Would rather have Kamberi back than Barker.

Reported….. [emoji2957]

Alvarez signs for Manchester City. Some potential the boy has.

[hibee-boys]

Hopefully our transfer strategy isnt link a name and see how Hibs.net reacts then decide whether to sign or not. :greengrin

😂…..Ron, Ben and Shaun are throwing names out there and sitting around an iPad refreshing this page every 30 seconds😎

[brog]

St. Mirren have signed Jordan Jones on loan - I'm no big fan, but he would have been a better option than Barker.

Then again, I would be a better option than Barker. And I'm pants and in my 50s.

Jordan Jones has scored 4 goals since leaving Killie and Wigan are letting him go on loan 6 months into a 3 year contract. Not sure he's any better at all.

[easty]

I might have missed it, too many posts to read them all, but are we not being linked with any centre mids today? The biggest issue in the team at the moment isn't going to be addressed at all?

Doesn't mean we have an obligation all of a sudden to play the guy.

Absolutely not hopefully 😃

Jamie Murphy to Mansfield…..

Must be a good wage off the books if true.

[Unseen work]

Murphy leaving makes no sense, he’s been a frequent sub under Maloney?

I imagine he’s on a large wage however.

So unless we think we can bring someone better in?

There’s about 5 people I’d want gone before him.

Yup weird. One of the few players we have that can create.

[Sergio sledge]

You can have all the pace in the world, but if you can't make it count what good is it?

It's a fair point, and his end product wasn't great when he was here before.

To be fair though, pace on its own terrifies defenders, as we saw with Sproule. He was erratic and people didn't know what he was going to do (even himself sometimes) whether he would produce magic or trip himself up.

It gives the opposition defense something else to worry about knowing that we would have someone with pace ready to exploit any gaps. We had that with Boyle and probably could do with that again.

Not saying that should be Barker, but if it is and it is a low or no risk deal then I won't be too upset.

[The 90+2]

Looks like the season depends on how well Hendo's wee brother does seemingly. Yet still willing to let Scotty Allan leave and just have midfielder clone central in the middle of the park.

What's Mallan of to? Even Kevin McDonald who is meant to be going to Dundee Utd would be an improvement.

Agree but people need to want to sign them to get rid. Assume a replacement coming in

[keep the faith]

While you are working out a winger and freeing midfielders, gonna just call livi and buy Omeonga please Hibs?
Won't cost much. Maybe even swap a couple of players or something.

Jamie Murphy to Mansfield…..


Still has a house in Sheffield.....

[hhibs]

It's the hope that kills you 😂

I'm still hoping 🙈




Indeed it does.

[Hibee Mac]

I suspect Murphy is on a rather large wage and I have no doubt it could be spent more efficiently.

If the club replace him with someone else then I'm all for it, but I agree if he goes and we don't replace then it looks odd.

[keep the faith]

Murphy is much better than DW.

Agree with that. And Allan is better than both so it's all very strange.

[WeeRussell]

For all that Barker could beat a man with pace...he rarely ever did anything following it.

Sounds like Martin Boyle in his first couple of seasons with us.

Pretty sure we were all hoping Brandon Barker would sign for us when he ended up at the huns thon time. We were a much better side then than we are now.

If Murphy was to leave and Brandon Barker is his replacement then I’ll calm down to a panic as they’re probably of equivalent abilities.

Barker to replace Boyle is a shocker and what I got my knickers in a twist about.

I’ll hold off going and shouting at the staff in the Hibs shop for now.

[hhibs]

Too true.

Alli reportedly a free transfer with Everton paying £10m after 20 appearances. Spurs must have been desperate to get him off the books 🤣

[Greencore]

Jamie Murphy to Mansfield on the cards, STV

Please god let this happen.

[Danderhall Hibs]

Haha I am behind Maloney, you obviously missed me having a go at the posters still in love with Ross. My point was the majority of our players are bang average, 3rd or not and this season so far has proved that. It'll take more than this window to fix it.

We’re a couple of points off 4th place. The core of the squad is / was fine and needed added to but the club failed in the summer.

I don’t think it’s much better this time - numbers in yea but not many are straight into the 1st team.

[Unseen work]

I think people need to realise as it’s virtually impossible to replace Boyle.

We were ridiculously reliant on him and were highly unlikely to sign a player that comes in and immediately does what he was doing.

Boyle was with us for 7 years, the last 2-3 he was brilliant.

That said, a statement with the intent of getting close wouldn’t go a miss.

[SlickShoes]

Good that we are getting rid of a winger when we need a… winger…

Murphy has been garbage and looks worse than ever since coming back from his latest injury, I am happy for him to be nowhere near Hibs.

[JamesHFC]

Injuries probably going to ruin his career if the last couple of years are anything to go by. All the more reason to invest in another player this window.

That sums it up really. Unfortunate about Clarke's injury, might have made all the difference. Not the right place I know but I have to retract a comment I made about Henderson, blaming him for their third, it was Josh Campbell caught in possession for their third and it doesn't look as bad on the replay as it seemed to be at the time. Nothing looks as bad in the replay as it did on the day, epxcept their first two goals which I couldn't see very well on Saturday but t.v. replay shows the defence had a horror day, Matt Macey for the first and Porto for the second?

Nae point comparing Barker with Boyle. Boyle has created loads for us, scored loads for us. Barker didnae, and hasn't done for anyone since.

[Ronniekirk]

Jordan Jones is a brilliant signing for St Mirren - I imagine he’s being used as part of the McGrath deal.

Would have liked to have seen him with us.

I get people being worried about signings based on the last couple of deadline days but let’s give the club the benefit of the club.

Hauge has been signed and not announced yet, im sure there will be others.

But he is another fir the B or development squad so won’t be coming straight into the team was my understanding

FFS if this is true Hibs MUST get someone to do this role,this is just desperate stuff.

[Ronniekirk]

My prediction is that he will come in on loan until the end of the season then we will spend the Boyle money then on a replacement when better options become available. Not ideal though. We need our new signings to kick on and out of form players to get that good form back.

If this is true it better not be a loan with a commitment to buy at end of loan
But if he is all we can get then it needs to be short term loan only

Macey definitely for 1st, though Doidge didn't cover himself in glory either. Unfortunately Rocky was beaten for the 1st header for the 2nd goal but I agree Porto should also have done better.

The big lad for Livi was told to target Lewis all the second half. Not Lewy's fault of course but it was a plan that worked. Every long ball, throw in etc, he'd lose his marker and head straight for Lewis. For the second goal he loses his marker again and goes in behind Lewy who has absolutely no chance of winning the header.
well played to Martindale for doing this, but how the hell could we not see it. Happened with every goal kick, long ball, throw in and set piece.

Our CH partnership tomorrow ought to be Rocky and Porteous, and Cadden has been putting in some tasty crosses of late

Other than that, we've got a predictable & leaky midfield, who only come to life if they're within a goal of the opposition and there's 5 minutes to go, and we don't play nearly enough of the game in the areas of the pitch that hurt the opposition. Oh, and our rookie manager has a stern test tomorrow night, and is busy keeping Drey Wright, while trying to punt Scott Allan.

Ask any Hearts fan if they'd be happy facing Drey Wright (yes) or Scott Allan (not after the Natural Order derby) and that's one example of why we won't have any psychological edge going into tomorrow's game

You're spot on. Moving Rocky from his central role was too risky but he maybe could have brought Doig on to add height?

Mr Maloney has me baffled Scotty can go but Drey Wright has to stay , considering Barker who I didnt rate first time around and not breaking bank to get Cooke in and refusing to cancel James Scott loan . Now I may only be a fan and next month will mark 70 years of me attending matches at Easter Road and I think he is getting it badly wrong. I hope he proves me wrong but I dont think he will and god help us for the rest of this season. I am normally a pretty happy clapper but this is just wrong.

Brandon Barker is a funny one. Beats players with ease but his end product is probably the worst I've seen for an attacking player at Hibs. Far worse than Boyle and Sproule, the two players I'd compare him with most. Boyle improved that side of his game massively though so it is possible. I'd be open to it but I'd like another central attacking midfielder to link play as there's a gigantic chasm there without Magennis.

Don’t know if anyone else feel this way. Now that with the window has been open for a month, any signing that comes in now is either a last minute panic job or one that has been way down the list of our choices. Or even one that just wants to join our injury list.

Best shut this thread now and wait until the summer....maybe by then Maloney will not even be here:wink:

But arrived and has only been available to play from January.

Clarke looked very good for Ross County this season, and will do a good job either at wing back or right CB, not sure where you're getting that he's not good enough for us from - Rangers tried to scupper the deal at last minute to get him in.

100%....the transfer thread where its open season to critisize all things Hibs, the players, the manager, the board etc. We are 5th(with arguably 4th biggest budget) reached the first national final and in the next round of the other. We have had a relatively poor season, but no where near as bad as some folk on here are making out. Used to really enjoy .net but its almost like being on an opposing fan site wth the amount of flak posted on here towards hibs.

[PH91]

As per most I would like competition for/an upgrade on jdh in the middle of the park but unless we are keeping something very quiet it looks unlikely. Maybe we are thinking magennis (if ever fit) will play in there.

If so, i'm worried about the positions behind the striker. These players must provide goals and we are choosing from mueller, henderson, scott and wright. Mueller will take time to adjust and i don't fancy any of the others to score much.

Attacking midfielder with goals in him, fit and ready to go straight into the starting 11 deperately needed.

Instead of ripping posters and the forum, why not state your case as to why we shouldn't be worried and concerned that things have went spectacularly backwards?

Yes, we reached a national final, went in manger less having sacked the guy that helped us get there but on and off the park it's digressing massively.

Let's blame Leanne, lets blame Jack, lets blame Mathie - all them have become scapegoats, not just by some posters on here but by the likes of our new CEO who took pot shots and Mathie and LD. It seems they're really good at identifying and passing the blame on others but what has been done to improve anything? Zero in my eyes. Absolutely nothing.

Maloney better than Ross - nah.
Kinsella better than Leanne - nah
Rons wee laddie better than Mathie/George Craig - nah.

What's actually improving because that's the sidelines. On the park it's getting progressively worse too. Let's all just write this season off for a laugh though and everyone will buy season tickets for next year. Not a chance. If the window ends like this and we get pumped tomorrow then it's going to be carnage.

No doubt he'll then need a few weeks to get up to speed before then injuring himself in training.

Just for once, it'd be nice to see signings that could actually play - not ones that can't for one reason or another.

I believe Clarke is back at Arsenal receiving treatment, I think it's unlikely we'll even see him in a Hibs shirt to be honest if his injury is long term.

Hearing the Morris dancer spotted in the stand on Saturday has signed on a " loan with option to buy " arrangement.

A Livingston, for example should never in a million years be in a position where they can come to Easter road and look way better than us. On the transfer side of things, it doesn’t take a genius to see we desperately need a real action midfielder and a replacement for pretty much our only regular outlet for goalmouth action. Why do all these other teams who’re nowhere near our size, budget and reach continuously manage to build teams that we can’t? Why do the yams nearly always manage to come up smelling of roses when you’d think they can’t possibly be able to trump us?

If Livingston had a better team than us they'd be above us in the league.

We have the 5th biggest budget (long way behind Aberdeen and Hearts who get multi million pound investments from rich fans each year), and if I had to put money on where we'll come this season I'd say 5th.

There may be some current problems with our recruitment and squad, but we're performing exactly as you'd expect us to for our position in the hierarchy of Scottish football. Hearts and Abderdeen can pay much better wages than us and that isn't changing any time soon.

It's all and u23 level. So it's kids playing against kids. Majority of whom will likely not make it to any decent level in the game.

[The Tubs]

Of course not just like you don’t know. He won’t be match fit (one game this season) and is 19. Is this the quality you expect after selling our best player for £3m?

One start but some time off the bench too. Is The Rangers signing Ramsey scrambling about too? He surely isn't match fit by your reckoning.

[Spike Mandela]

I can’t believe the amount not wanting barker.

Really good player who is rapid, beats a man with easy and is a part of what this team is missing.

Don’t think he’s had many injuries lately and he had a good loan at Oxford last season.

As it stands we don’t have anyone that offers what he can.

I want him and another couple though.

Bags of potential and exciting player on his first spell at Hibs. Most players improve with age and experience. If he’s added decision making and a final ball to his game he meight be a decent signing but can’t say I’ve seen much of him lately.

[Hibbyradge]

Aw I was never positive. Just hadn’t been negative cause I hadn’t been posting much lately 🤣

But it’s TDD, I’m all in!! And off work

Fill your boots, then.

After the nice way you asked on the PM board, I was nearly going to rescind the mood Hoover award, but it's nailed on yours now.

Wiki has him as 15 games this season

Transfermrket has 17 games including cup

[The 90+2]

If Livingston had a better team than us they'd be above us in the league.

We have the 5th biggest budget (long way behind Aberdeen and Hearts who get multi million pound investments from rich fans each year), and if I had to put money on where we'll come this season I'd say 5th.

There may be some current problems with our recruitment and squad, but we're performing exactly as you'd expect us to for our position in the hierarchy of Scottish football. Hearts and Abderdeen can pay much better wages than us and that isn't changing any time soon.


Livingston have to tear up their team every single year and have beaten us home and away. Come January, like now they seem, with the right Head Coach to produce a very good team. Why can't we with our 5th biggest budget instead of Livi and their 12th biggest?

Hearts and the sheep dont pay much more wages than us either. not in comparison with Motherwell or Livingston.

[Greencore]

This Rodgers loan agreement to Bournemouth included this

Bournemouth's loan came with an option to buy at the end of the season for an initial £12m and an extra £3m in add-ons, and separately an obligation to buy for £9m rising to £12m with add-ons if they won promotion to the Premier League.

We're f*****g loaded 😂😂😂

Every transfer window we're shown these videos of 'supremely talented' youngsters from England that will supposedly make a difference.

Can't think of a single one that has though.

I don't think this will be any different.

[JamesHFC]

Can’t wait to wave my electronic season ticket on my phone outside the west stand tomorrow.

Jesus 🤣 things aren’t that bad.

[The 90+2]

Backwards? We've climbed the league table.

Total pish from you and your anti-Maloney agenda.

From this time last season to right now.

Have we moved backwards?

:confused:

Wouldn’t mind a signing over 22 years old and is here for now and not the future.

:confused:

You can blame Mathie and then Ross for that one :aok:

[Keepthefaith]

Instead of ripping posters and the forum, why not state your case as to why we shouldn't be worried and concerned that things have went spectacularly backwards?

Yes, we reached a national final, went in manger less having sacked the guy that helped us get there but on and off the park it's digressing massively.

Let's blame Leanne, lets blame Jack, lets blame Mathie - all them have become scapegoats, not just by some posters on here but by the likes of our new CEO who took pot shots and Mathie and LD. It seems they're really good at identifying and passing the blame on others but what has been done to improve anything? Zero in my eyes. Absolutely nothing.

Maloney better than Ross - nah.
Kinsella better than Leanne - nah
Rons wee laddie better than Mathie/George Craig - nah.

What's actually improving because that's the sidelines. On the park it's getting progressively worse too. Let's all just write this season off for a laugh though and everyone will buy season tickets for next year. Not a chance. If the window ends like this and we get pumped tomorrow then it's going to be carnage.

Zero because you don't want to see it?

So what if Hibs did nothing and stuck with Ross? What if it got worse? At the time of his sacking most fans were demanding change, demanding an attacking style, demanding entertainment and quite rightly.

Ron and Ben then appointed Maloney with a clear vision of attacking attractive football...visions are not short term or immediate. They need time to be realised.

I have no idea why you express such bitterness and dislike towards Ron, Ben and Shaun, all have stated their commitment to this vision or have you ignored what was stated about style, challenging at the top and becoming European regulars?

As a manager I have a business plan, a vision for my team. Some things we achieve, others less so, but it doesn't take away from the drive to achieve the vision. Some things I can do better but others are outwith my control. What makes me more likely to achieve is the support of those around me I also need critique and challenges but they should and need to be constructive. Football is no different.

Maybe ask yourself how fair, how reflective, how open you're being eh?

[JamesHFC]

I think he’s talking about since Maloney came in, we have climbed from 7th to 5th.

[Spike Mandela]

Murphy leaving makes no sense, he’s been a frequent sub under Maloney?

I imagine he’s on a large wage however.

So unless we think we can bring someone better in?

There’s about 5 people I’d want gone before him.

Murphy is one of the worst signigs ever made by Hibs imo. For his experience, and I would imagine, decent salary he’s just not delivered. Wouldn’t be sorry to see him go at all, he’s finished at this level, again imo.

Rogers to Huddersfield…..

Runar Hauge eventually announced.


Development team player. Hardly inspiring given our situation.

1 Jack Ross
2 leanne Dempster
3 Graham mathie
I trust Ron Gordon as he has got us through the most difficult time and hopefully come out the other end of a pandemic
So he will have my full support and gratitude for that alone I would suggest that you give our new ceo a chance as well as for maloney I'm willing to give him more time as well

Looks like we’re missing out on Rogers with him joining Huddersfield.

Expect Barker will be announced now.

[Since452]

Exactly. Are we building for 2025?

[The 90+2]

You can blame Mathie and then Ross for that one :aok:

Mathie was punted in September. Where has the scouting been since then to bring in players since he got the blame? :confused:

We have signed Hendo's wee brother, a boy punted from Blackpool on loan before to the gunts twice, a couple of unknown youngsters and a very decent defender on a long term loan. Rocky looks different class mind you.

I don't blame Jack Ross for any of this mess. I don't blame Maloney either - but I don't think by any means he's any kind of improvement.

Maloney was an attack minded central midfielder - how the **** can he not see we desperately need creativity in the middle of the park and if he does why is Rons laddie not bringing anyone in having threw Mathie under the bus?

[Chorley Hibee]

Not the dreaded five year plan again.

He looks good against young lads, I would fear from him up hear. Remember the Ginger Lad from Sunderland on loan. Had the fancy footywork but got clattered up here and has never been the same since. Saying that if he can he can get us going forward, he's got to be an improvement.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Development team player. Hardly inspiring given our situation.

Did you read the statement from Hibs though? Sounds exciting when he’s ready to step up. And one that would be out of our reach had we waited to sign him when he was ready for the 1st team

Nope.

Trust Ron Gordons (judgement) based on what? Blind faith? Because it suited the new people to come in to rip the people who left?

We are miles away, miles away from the cup winning side or even under Lenny let alone finishing third last season.

Why do people just trust **** based on zero? It's truly baffling.

[JohnMcM]

Anyone want awful news??

Magennis has had a injury setback and will be out for longer.

Just got back from my health inducing walk and read this report and get sickened.

Maybe they have some kind of belief and hope that good things will happen and people are going to do their best to deliver what they set out? Not everyone is out to rip you off.

This is going to end badly tonight isn’t it.

I know it’s hard to do business in January but we need someone to get close to the gap left by Boyle - it’s not like he left today.

We always say we have plans in place for getting players in if one was to leave. Not looking like it.

I don't see what? What is it we are meant to be seeing? Shaun Maloneys sales pitch for the managerial job?

We are regressing big time - nowhere near 3rd let alone challenging at the top.

What is the plan and where do you see that it's working? I'm not bitter I'm living in real time, not in a fantasy world based on baseless comments from management.

If you can advise me where about we are progressing since this time last year or even since the summer I would love it. Even transfer wise Nisbet and Doig's transfer value has deteriorated. We have very little sell able assets.

[Borderhibbie76]

Really concerned that 6 hrs left and we are still scrambling around for a Boyle replacement...where was the forward planning from Recruitment...its the last day of the summer window all over again

[timewilltell]

Runar Hauge signed.

[leith lynx]

Because it’s embarrassing. As a football fan, watching other games, you’ll regularly see teams putting in performances that at the very least look competitive. In the grand scheme of Scottish football, we’re a huge football club who for whatever reason, more often than not under achieve. A Livingston, for example should never in a million years be in a position where they can come to Easter road and look way better than us. On the transfer side of things, it doesn’t take a genius to see we desperately need a real action midfielder and a replacement for pretty much our only regular outlet for goalmouth action. Why do all these other teams who’re nowhere near our size, budget and reach continuously manage to build teams that we can’t? Why do the yams nearly always manage to come up smelling of roses when you’d think they can’t possibly be able to trump us? I rarely even get involved in interacting on this forum anymore as opinions like this just get hammered with bed wetting comments, which at 36 years old, I really don’t need from people who’re supposed to all support the same thing.

100% agree, the truth hurts, but I always believe in hope.

[GloryGlory]

Hibs will have to move quick if they want to get someone into East Mains for a medical, get all the paperwork done and sent off before midnight.
