Winter 2021-22 transfer thread

[The 90+2]

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.


It's just blind faith in that case.

We effectively sacked three very important personnel and there's been no induction anything thats replaced has been anywhere near better.

Let's sack Mathie, the successor to Craig, who put loads of hard work into succession planning for the club to last us years because we couldn't sell Josh Doig in August - okay fair enough, but lets see some improvement with the boy that replaces him even if that boy is Gordons laddie.

[Iain G]

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

We can forward plan all we want but if a club doesnt want to sell us their player or the player doesn't want to come here there isn't much we can do!

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

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.

500 miles away?

Why do people not trust in the changes being made to the club?

The cup winning legends brought us that day but failed to win the championship. Lenny delivered the championship but then had a hissy fit and longed for his true love in Celtic.

Ross, with backing of the new structure got us 3rd and European games, plus a couple of finals (but failed to win them).

The board then acted in a horrendous run of form with no clear improvement or change coming from the team under Ross.

They have backed Maloney, replaced Mathie and upgraded the stadium.

Maybe people’s trust isn’t misplaced, it’s just different from yours?

[Hibbyradge]

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

Yep, the comments from Kean sound very positive.

[Keepthefaith]

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.

Truth is 90+2 just bats back every challenge, every comments which differ from his own stuck view. There's no reasoning with folk who aren't open minded!

We're all concerned that were not having a more successful season but dear god some folk just want to stick the knife in and twist! Trust and time are what's needed right now. As tough as it is to hear, sometimes success comes after overcoming challenges, not after a honeymoon period...

[Golden Bear]

This is worse than some of the match day threads, some folk really need to take a chill pill.

[Since452]

Worries me that on deadline day after selling our best player and playing Hearts tomorrow having created next to nothing in our last two league games we're pinning our hopes on a 19 year old loan player that we will probably still miss out on. What is going on?

[Iain G]

It's just blind faith in that case.

And what is wrong with having some faith? Rather hope for the best than see shadows and demons at every turn, it's better for the soul and the blood pressure 😁

With both Gogic and Allan possibly going our options aren’t getting much stronger in that area of the park.

That's the plan and that is why he has been signed? It's pretty clear and the club have explained what they are doing and why.

[MWHIBBIES]

Well, he has his permit and is training, where was he Saturday?

[Gordy M]

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.

Some supporters, obviously not you, are willing to give the new set up some time. We have a relatively new owner, new CEO and new manager. Has everything been rosy and wonderful, no, but some folk are willing to give it a bit of time. I realise we live in world where its all about instant success and gratification but maybe giving it more than what...2 months? There are dozens of examples of players and managers that have just taken a bit of time to get it right. Is it a guarantee it will be....nope, but im certainly not going to be slagging off the club, players,manager, ceo etc at every given opportunity in the meantime.

It brings the Scandinavian wonder-kid quota back up - and I was kidding on earlier on too.

Maloney said they are giving him a few weeks to settle and get up to speed.

[GloryGlory]

Melkerson has been signed for the first team

But won't be ready for a few weeks as he gets his fitness up.

Supposedly us wanting him permanently may be the deciding factor as had put other teams off.

Hopefully used more to get fit an settle in, I’d be disappointed he’s not in the 1st team after a month or so.

Why is it our new players need weeks yet Hearts sign some boy on loan from Everton reserves and Barnsley injury list and they come in and play right away and one scores? Even Livi got that player back from Arbroath on Saturday and he strolled it.

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?

You know you have been on here most of the day spouting the same old rhetoric, give us all a break will ya. The old guard are gone they all got a fair chunk o cash and left.
We now have a new forward looking crowd as guardians of our fine club, if you are so peed off go and watch the hertz or some other club. Or just sit doon wi a huge bag o samosas, or a huge bag o Liquorice allsorts and let the rest of the day go by, nothing you or I can do about it, just chill and see what the rest of the day brings, we may be surprised we may be a wee bit disappointed but Hibernian F.C. will still be there in the morning.

You already know the answer, but its because the Scandanavian season was over and Melkerson had been off for weeks, same as Meuller.

You sound like someone who has never moved to a new country before, giving players time to settle is worth it in the long run, not everything is about the instant gratification you seem to be after.

Just untrue.

We should send him back and get a refund then! Or maybe let the young laddie settle in and get homnuo to the level we want him to be at which Maloney said is a couple of weeks. So he is clearly first team ready.

No but fans saying the same as just now in the past didn't help when it was further and further deteriorating. Did blindnessly backing the club then work? No.

Still need players for here and now I agree, the are both different circumstances though

Apart from the fact we have gone from 7th to 5th under Maloney there’s been no improvement.

There’s lots to be concerned about at the moment, but it’s no worse now than it was under Jack Ross most of this season, just a continuation. It doesn’t look like happening this window but I hope Maloney gets what he needs recruitment wise to give him every chance of succeeding. If not he’ll end up sacked and probably, justifiably, feel he wasn’t set up for success by Hibs.

Exactly. Are we building for 2025?

Hopefully we are yes. It would be pretty short sighted of the club to ignore future seasons and only concentrate on the season we are in just now.

It is possible to both strengthen now and build for the future, the two things aren't mutually exclusive. Rocky, Clarke, Mitchell, Henderson, Mueller and Melkersen were signed to contribute now, not in 2025....

If not he’ll end up sacked and probably, justifiably, feel he wasn’t set up for success by Hibs.

Last sentence, like Jack Ross can feel 😉

STV saying Allan expected to stay.

If he's staying we have to be playing him, which doesn't seem likely given that Wright, Bradley and Murphy have come on instead of him the past few games.

You do know we didn’t appoint a manager for the short term and it’s called having a strategy and planning for the future. No idea why folk can’t see that, signings like these are hopefully what prevents us having these last minute panic dealings in the window.

Still need players for here and now I agree, the are both different circumstances though

So, I’m assuming based on that our strategy is to go with the complete unknown/tested and the future will just be what it will be? People are entitled to have faith and positivity. People are also entitled to have concerns (based on reality).

That's not a strategy and not something the club have stated so why assume that? The plan is to build clear lines of progression from youths to first team and grow our own and to sign good talent from Scotland and abroad, along with good professionals and push the club forward at all levels to be consistent and regularly at the top end of the league and challenging in Europe. That takes a wee bit of time and patience.

Apart from the fact we have gone from 7th to 5th under Maloney there’s been no improvement.

We were in total " freefall " under Ross .Shaun's steadied things and we will go forward.

[Dalianwanda]

We sacked our manager because we wanted to save the season - instant or some improvement.

Lets sign players that make improvement next year.

Improvement hasn't happened btw. There's been nothing to show we are a better side even slightly. And that's with Maloney getting all these players in January.

We sacked out manager because our league form over a few months was shocking...Our performances outside of the results may have had a factor in driving fans away. I never heard anything about 'saving the season' though Id like that to happen. I did hear plenty about changing the focus of the club which if we actually want that to happen will take time. New manager bounces are one thing but I cant really think of many that have been substainable for other clubs.

We have signed a number of players who have just started making appearances for the club. A couple of them have been put into the academy and others are for the here and now. A new manager with new ideas has also come in so the whole teams picking up new stuff. Whether this all works is still to be seen but you cant compare one who was judged on results against others who havent had a chance to contribute meaningfully to results.

No, I’m talking about the manager and our planning for the future. If we have a ‘strategy’, that’s the basis of it. I’m not suggesting it won’t all come good but we haven’t a clue and people hammering folk based on blind faith, against the actual reality of the situation is futile. We’re fickle from top to bottom.

To be fair I think Jack Ross can feel aggrieved about the summer window and has some mitigation. However he also didn’t capture the imagination of a large chunk of the support, with many different factors as to why that was. He also wasn’t getting anywhere near enough out of what he did have available to him this season.

It’s not really, it’s just that they’ve made very little impact between them even if it’s only over three games. And in some cases, we know they’re not going to be making any impact for some time.

Well, he has his permit and is training, where was he Saturday?

He is doing a pre-season effectively as his season finished in November. Giving him a few weeks to get up to speed is sensible isn't it? or should we have just chucked him in at the start of his pre-season program?

100%...never seen a more flat footed winger. Think I saw a post earlier who said if Murphy goes we have no one left to take on defenders. Don’t know what that guy was watching as I never saw Murphy ‘take on’ or go by a defender in the time he was here.

We actually improved significantly under Ron during last season, taking a brilliant 3rd place and, had we beat SJ in the final, that would've been our best season in 70 years. Sadly didn't happen.

The accepting mediocrity patter is so daft. Up there with that boyband *****. Total nonsense ****ing statement, with no basis or thought behind it.


We've since last season sacked the manager that got us there and sacked the guy that brought the players in to get us there.

We are now sitting in 5th. Rudderless.

Do posters genuinely believe this has been a good window if it stays the same and Maloney is a good appointment? There's is literally nothing to suggest so.

Everyone on this board is sitting here desperately waiting for a couple of signings to sort the mess we are in out. Now we are at the stage of apologists galore and belittling others posts.

You will notice the concerned posters are not the ones personally ripping others posts btw. It's always the other way.

Unless we get two good centre mids tonight, we are on a hiding tomorrow.

No new players will play tomorrow.

Signing then not even having a training session - unless it was Messi who comes straight into the team we are stuck with the same group that lost to the mighty Livingston. You can pretty much predict the starting Hibs 11.

Are we expecting Newell and JDH to play every game - not get suspended - injured - covid - drop form?

2 central midfielders is madness and as bad a decision as not signing another striker then Doidge getting injured and having Nisbet as only main striker.

Especially after one has already left the club and one more could be out the door.

Your deluded pal, and it's happy clappers like you accepting pure mediocrity that's the reason we are such a soft touch. We have every right to demand more.

😂😂😂😂. The Donald trump of .net?

Come on Ben. Livi is only 30 mins up the road. Go get Stephane!

Or is that a case of jack ross over achieving? And not so much to do with Gordon?

At this rate Ron’s boys coat is on a shoogly peg.


He owns the club, and the stadium.

His laddie runs recruitment.

Their choice is the manager and assistant.

Safe as houses.

Any Hibs news at all? A rumour would do. Ins or outs?

Are you naming players that wouldn't get in the midfield of any club in the top six?

That’s the main concern for me and the fact it’s been kept almost a secret.

Strangely though Gogic played a big part in a team finishing 3rd

Last time I checked that was indeed top 6

We all know deep down what is going to happen mate. Nobody or a Blackburn under 20 player because Mogga feels bad for us.

Well done to Jack Ross in getting the best out a player only wanted by St Mirren then. :aok:

I’m already regretting bothering to reply to this but that’s absolute nonsense. Dempster leaving was a year or two overdue by the time it happened and really the issue was that we gave Mathie a lot of extra responsibility that he shouldn’t have been given. He was good for us when he was only involved in recruitment but clearly ended up with too much on his plate.

We identified the areas we needed players in and recruited well early. Various things have gone a bit pear shaped in the window since then but there’s still time for it to turn around and I think we could come out of this evening in a pretty good position.

Ron has given both managers good money to spend at a time when the club will have been losing plenty.

Very strange that he was never announced in the role though, only slid into the club directory.

Seems a pretty important position and for it not to be mentioned is concerning.

Yep.

Not a fan of continually signing ex-players, but he is an exception.

Give me him over Brandon Barker any day of the week.

Yes. He's never been formally appointed. For someone in such an important position you shouldn't have to look up the phone book.

“Full credit goes to our Technical Scout, Ian Gordon, who has worked very hard to deliver this partnership,” Hibernian FC Sporting Director Graeme Mathie said. “The link with Charleston Battery allows us to tap in to their network and resources as we look to expand our scouting activities into new markets, and we are already looking forward to welcoming two of their current squad to the Hibernian Training Centre in the coming weeks for an extended training period, with the potential for two of our young players to travel there early next year.

That's all we've ever heard.

After our fruitful partnership with with fc Duricell

I know you are still bitter about Jack Ross being sacked, I for one, was relieved that Ron took action. The timing, with a cup final coming up, was not ideal but when you need to act you act and Ron should be applauded for his decisiveness.

Like many Hibbies I am hoping we get at least a midfielder before the TD closes and I am aware that our pink chums are loving the panic on Hibs.Net. I get texts from the ones I know on about "mind the Gap" "Tuesday cant come quick enough" etc.

My response, "I remember the Unbeatables coming to ER and what was the score that day?". For those pinkies looking in GIRFUY see you on Tuesday!!!

Not hibs related but was just mentioned on radio about Ramsay going to the huns. He is on £400k a week at Juventus...a week!!

They might be planning on mugging him for his visa.

Best signing we could make is get Sir Tom on the blower and ask him to get these imposters out of our club.
