Winter 2021-22 transfer thread

[SHODAN]

This thread needs a new manager. I resign.

[The 90+2]

One signed by and the other introduced into the first team by your hero


He's not my hero, and he signed them and achieved 3rd place last season.

Every Hibee would bite their hands off for third this season. Even fourth.

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

We’d probably have sold Boyle for £500k too having never thought to offer him a new contract.

Gogic was one of our best players last season then he took a bit of a whipping for his performance first game vs Motherwell if I remember correctly for not doing the centre backs job?

Was never the most gifted player on the ball but definitely has his qualitys off the ball.

[Torto7]

It's embarrassing.

[SMAXXA]

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.

Concerning really? What difference does it really make honestly man what’s he going to do come in sign crap players is that the worst that could happen?

[The 90+2]

And had us in 7th and going backwards this season.

And in a cup final. 7th and backwards after Covid, injuries and fixtures of two in a week for weeks. We can add the disastrous summer transfers that another guy got punted for.

Do you genuinely thing it's going to get better now instead of Ross' fortunes improving? Seriously

Do people think recruitment and plan for the club has improved since punting Mathie for Rons lad?

Why rip Ross and Mathie then have blind faith in Maloney (based on nothing) and someone the club didn't even feel the need to announce?

It's the kind of ***** we would be laughing at Roman Romanov signing players under Rix having sacked Burley.

I really hope we pull a couple of rabbits out the hat here but it's starting to not look very likely.. it feels like the end of summer window all over again - except then we needed another striker and now it's a Boyle replacement. Really really worrying - if we had a first choice for a Boyle replacement, that ship looks as if its sailed

When our rivals (hearts) now have their house in order, have a guy and assistant in charge fully of signing players specifically to do a job for the club and are improving then honestly, yes, it makes a lot of a difference and it's concerning.

They have a structure now. Something Leanne and George Craig put in place continuing with Mathie. What's our structure?

We desperately need an attack minded midfielder. Even Patsy Kensit. Why on earth has nobody came in? instead we sign randoms all over the shop and pray they will come good in a couple of years?

Gogic was decent in the last derby but other than that he's been horrendous this season.

He was making basic defensive errors - and if he's not doing the defensive stuff right then he's not doing anything right.

Letting him go can only be the right decision imo. And I really quite liked him last season.

Think the problem is he should have been used as a sitting midfielder - I remember in the game against Celtic near the start of the season he ended up left wing during one of our few counter attacks.

Not sure if it was the instructions or if he has started to try to do more than he's able to. Should've kept to sitting in front of the defence, intercepting and tackling - he'd be perfectly good at that.

It's because I'm concerned about the team I support is going backwards badly I express them.

You would have said the same around 2007, when fans walked away and we sat and watched years of pap until relegation.

The Scottish Cup gave us a massive platform to build on, just like the Golden Generation did. You would think people would learn instead of telling people to bugger off - because they will.

This time in two years you'lll be happy making top six. Some of us see the potential our club has and want the best for it. Right now it's not happening.

You are a lost cause, just sitting here fuming for hours. Maybe this gets me banned but I don’t really care, if not you will be on mute from now on just constantly fuming into the ether, what a thought.

Perhaps he has gone ott but he is right about the differences between our recruitment and Hearts. We seem ti be building from or for B teams while they look to have built a third place team . I am frustrated by that difference too.

What state? since George Craig and Mathie then came in there's been no state.

Mathie, I'm not going to blindly blame for the summer. Before the summer recruitment had us third in the league, and backed lennon and hecky with all their players. There wasn't a state. Not as much as there is right now presently.

[greenlex]

Concerning really? What difference does it really make honestly man what’s he going to do come in sign crap players is that the worst that could happen?
I’m not concerned. He’s hardly going out and scouting players. He’s heading the process up and he should be setting the deals up and getting the them over the line.

I personally think Gogic has been pretty harshly dropped off the radar almost entirely. Lesser players have hung around for longer having contributed far less. Not so long ago he was getting his first international call-up and we were hailing finally replacing Bartley. If he was in top form it would be like a new signing IMO but don't see him in Maloney's plans.

It’s mathie, Ross and his recruitment team that’s created the state we’re currently in. The squads rank rotten and has been since the summer. You surely aren’t blaming Maloney or I. Gordon for the state of the squad 🤣???

Melkersen is for the first team. He’s basically 3 weeks in to pre season so he’s getting a few bounce games under his belt then he’ll be in the first team.
Hauge is for the B team but there’s nothing to suggest we’ve spent anywhere remotely close to as much money on him.

[007]

These 2 Norwegian guys being academy signings is weird. We paid 400k for Melkerson ffs, he should be getting first team games asap for that price.

As someone else pointed out, Melkersen isn't an academy signing.

Also, he played a full season in Norway which only finished 9 weeks ago. In Scotland from the last league game of last season to the 1st League Cup game it was 10 weeks (or 9 weeks from SC final) so effectively the derby tomorrow would be the equivalent of being the 1st game of the season for him but without having the benefit of the usual pre-season training/several friendlies to get up to match fitness. As far as I'm aware he got 1 bounce game and got a knock in it.

Just look at Kyogo at Celtic. He played through 2021 without much of a break and was out injured not long after joining Celtic. He then came back (probably too quickly) to play in the League Cup final, played against St Johnstone a week later and aggravated the injury and has been out since then.

Melkersen needs to be introduced to the first team gradually as we don't want something similar to happen to him.

Spot on. Some of the comments about him are disgraceful. Unless someone can actually confirm the percentage of these glaring mistakes he makes to back it up, I will continue to support him knowing he will make most tackles, most interceptions, most passes, most forward runs and cover more ground than any other player in a Hibs shirt when he plays. Not always perfect but always makes an effort.

That would suit those who want actual transfer rumours / information.

That would suit those who just want to discuss everything else related to the above…or not in many cases.

I personally don't it would be good to fill both positions but central midfield is a major issue, missing someone with a bit of experience going forward that can help the younger guys use of the ball better around them.

[Unseen work]

I know people are saying they want a creative centre mid, I think Newell and JDH would be absolutely find if the ‘attacking mid/10’ ahead of them was creative, got in good positions and chipped in with goals and assists.

There’s very few creative centre mids in the league.

I think they want someone capable of playing either as a 10 or left or right of the striker.

[Stuart93]

Just lack the creativity boyle gave us. Goals and assists. Whether that’s from a new winger or midfield I’m not too fussed but we need to try replace that

he looks a big laddie for a 20 year old

Dundee United have signed Arsenal midfielder Tim Akinola on loan until the end of the season.
Akinola, 20, joined Arsenal from Huddersfield Town in 2020 and has made 12 Premier League 2 appearances.

He can play centre-back and defensive midfield, but has yet to make a first-team appearance for any club.
That could change on Tuesday night, with Akinola available to earn his Dundee United debut against city rivals Dundee at Dens Park.

I think that's the problem. Everyone that has watched Hibs recently must know our problem is in central midfield. We need two creative types in there.

It reminds me a bit of the Heckingbottom scenario when it was defensive type midfielders that we needed to help us compete. Hecky couldn't fix the problem when he was here. Let's hope Maloney addresses it in the final three hours and 30 minutes.

We won't see McGregor play under current management again unless emergency.

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.

If Daz wants to go and play then he has to leave. If I’m honest I’m shocked any Premiership manager thinks he’s capable of playing at this level as he’s been awful this season any time he’s played.

David Gray was worth the long contract as he had clear aspirations to become a coach so there was always going to be something for him to do here, sadly DM was never worth the crazy length of contract he was given when he signed this.

[madhatter]

Hallberg needed to prove his fitness to secure his move is what I'm guessing. Pretty sure that's why he got the game time.

I think McGregor is probably similar to Allan now - might need to drop down a level to get the game time they want.

[CapitalGreen]

McGregor has averaged 8 league games a season for the last 3 years so presumably Muller will play a lot more than him aswell.

Nisbet specifically mentioned how helpful Daz was around the time of his fathers death. Any new player coming into the club, these are the sort of people you want helping them to settle in. Having characters around who know the club and inspire others to live up to the expectation is important. Feel like we are losing that a bit. Dempster, Craig and Mathie did that well, now we are losing it a bit.

I believe DM is on a very low basic with decent appearance money. As he's been sparingly used, he's not costing the club much being out of the team. The cynical amongst us may say that is a big reason he has not been used much, even when we've had injuries in central defence recently.

I don’t think anyone thought he would play again, but I’m sure most thought he’d remain at the club in some capacity. Guys like big Daz come along very rarely, he might not be able to do it on the pitch anymore, but he shouldn’t be got rid off under any circumstances. If that’s what the club are trying to do then I’d be seriously worried about the direction we’re heading in.

McGregor maybe wants to play more whilst he can and wants away?

Could earn more with a signing on fee and a new contract than staying at Hibs maybe?

[Springbank]

Will be interesting to see what kind of plan Maloney has in mind tomorrow to nullify Neilson's Hearts.

If he thinks Newell & Doyle Hayes can win the midfield on their own that will be a helluva big call.

Absolutely cannot believe that's our midfield - do not expect us to pick up many points at all and Arbroath away in the cup feels pretty predictable with such a slow & lightweight combination in there.

Some will think it's been a great window.

I think it's a 10th place league finish window

[SMAXXA]

Folk think we have had a bad window Aberdeen have had a cracker right enough 😂, also lost one of it not their best player signed an unknown foreign young lad and a loan from Celtic folk would be up in arms about if we signed him.

And they are behind us, worst thing about early signings is folk lose perspective and get arsey at the end. We defo need another couple I agree but 1 window was never going to answer all our problems

[LunasBoots]

Darren McGregor is a guy who gets the club, gets the fans and gets along with the players, couldn't care if he's not playing he does a job behind the scenes that to many don't appreciate, I'm sure he's the first to acknowledge that his playing career is at a end but he deserves his place in the system around Hibs.

When our rivals (hearts) now have their house in order, have a guy and assistant in charge fully of signing players specifically to do a job for the club and are improving then honestly, yes, it makes a lot of a difference and it's concerning.

They have a structure now. Something Leanne and George Craig put in place continuing with Mathie. What's our structure?

We desperately need an attack minded midfielder. Even Patsy Kensit. Why on earth has nobody came in? instead we sign randoms all over the shop and pray they will come good in a couple of years?

Is this us now getting to the root of your worries? It's because of Hearts? Hearts after years of being in a mess have eventually started to get their act together, it has coincided with us going through a period of transition and it's got you in a bit of a tizzy.

I think that there are reasonable questions to be asked about our structure and who's responsible for what, it certainly seems different to what we had previously under Dempster.

However, to suggest we are just signing "randoms all over the shop and pray they come good" is ridiculous.

Before the transfer window everyone agreed that we had no depth in defence, so we've signed Rocky and Clarke. Rocky who Maloney knew of from Belgium and Clarke who'd had a good half season at Ross County. What happened with Clarke is unfortunate but it certainly looked like both him and Rocky would have been pressing for starting positions straight away.

Before the transfer window everyone thought we needed more options up front to either push Nisbet to regain his form or take his place. Melkersen was signed and has taken a bit longer getting up to speed than we all hoped (as well as picking up a small injury in a bounce game) but by all accounts looks promising. Mueller had already signed a pre-contract but has joined and looks like he'll be a decent player for us.

Before the transfer window I think most people would have said Doig's level had dropped from last season and he possibly needed a period out of the team but we had no-one who could come in and do the same job. So we signed Mitchell who has already offered some much needed pace and contributed a goal, presumably known by the recruitment team from his time at Hearts, but also Maloney possibly heard of him through his agent.

Henderson has also been signed to offer some attacking impetus in midfield, and Maloney knew him from Celtic, but the recruitment team had already indicated an interest before Maloney came in. He's not had a brilliant start but hopefully he'll be an improvement on Campbell who's not shown much recently.

Hardly signing randoms all over the place.

Whether they turn out well is anyone's guess, but that is the same for literally every signing we make.

Could win tomorrow, finish 4th and have a run in the cup and all things considered that would be a decent enough return from the season considering the circumstances but you’re threatening to not get a ST if we don’t sign anyone :greengrin

[xyz23jc]

No sign of a ‘plan B’ according to EEN

Wouldn't expect anything else from THAT! :wink:

Yeah good luck trying to charge fans £450 for a season ticket next season.

[04Sauzee]

I’d be stunned if we don’t now go for Charles Cook or Barker.

Be prepared to be stunned 😁

[B.H.F.C]

I honestly thought we were past the days of selling our best players and not replacing them adequately. Boyle was massive for us and it looks like we’re heading into the second half of the campaign without a replacement sorted.

I never thought we were going to sign someone like for like when we sold him, with what we’d already brought in and the way Maloney wants to play. But I really thought we might have used some money to address our issues in the middle of the park.

Media now saying hibs don’t want McGregor to leave and have knocked back offers…

[hibee-boys]

I think that there are reasonable questions to be asked about our structure and who's responsible for what, it certainly seems different to what we had previously under Dempster.

However, to suggest we are just signing "randoms all over the shop and pray they come good" is ridiculous.

Before the transfer window everyone agreed that we had no depth in defence, so we've signed Rocky and Clarke. Rocky who Maloney knew of from Belgium and Clarke who'd had a good half season at Ross County. What happened with Clarke is unfortunate but it certainly looked like both him and Rocky would have been pressing for starting positions straight away.

Before the transfer window everyone thought we needed more options up front to either push Nisbet to regain his form or take his place. Melkersen was signed and has taken a bit longer getting up to speed than we all hoped (as well as picking up a small injury in a bounce game) but by all accounts looks promising. Mueller had already signed a pre-contract but has joined and looks like he'll be a decent player for us.

Before the transfer window I think most people would have said Doig's level had dropped from last season and he possibly needed a period out of the team but we had no-one who could come in and do the same job. So we signed Mitchell who has already offered some much needed pace and contributed a goal, presumably known by the recruitment team from his time at Hearts, but also Maloney possibly heard of him through his agent.

Henderson has also been signed to offer some attacking impetus in midfield, and Maloney knew him from Celtic, but the recruitment team had already indicated an interest before Maloney came in. He's not had a brilliant start but hopefully he'll be an improvement on Campbell who's not shown much recently.

Hardly signing randoms all over the place.

Whether they turn out well is anyone's guess, but that is the same for literally every signing we make.

Common sense at last, it’ll never catch on here!

I thought Hibs were driving him out at any cost?

I don’t think I’ve ever known so much conflicting information come out about Hibs players and targets before, it’s really odd.

Unless things massively improve on 1st half of season and it's not looking likely given the last 3 performances and the end to this window, they are in for an almighty shock

[LeithMike]

Why does it feel like Hibs is losing it's identity after working so hard to get it back after 2016.Why don't you cheer yourself up with a nice Marc Darcy shirt, take a swig of Carabao and go get yourself a nice new Scootz scooter?

[Stuart93]

Think it’s that unfortunate feeling of inevitability. Have a really good season finish 3rd. Have a disaster in the summer transfer window, stagger over the line until January. Have a mediocre January window and stumble through the rest of the season.

Seen it all too often at hibs but must admit thought they days were past under our new leadership. They’ll struggle to get anywhere near the levels of ST’s we’ve hit in recent seasons.

[Dmas]

Charles-Cook wants to see what he’s offered end of his contact and barker is well….rubbish

[Crunchie]

I don’t understand the expectation of everyone that we should pull a rabbit out the hat on deadline day. If players don’t want to come we can’t force them and their clubs don’t want to lose them mid season that’s their decision, if the correct player isn’t available we definitely shouldn’t just sign whoever is available.

The amount of rage here and on social media in a window where we signed 6 players is insane.

Yup, know two long term holders not renewing imagine there will be a few others aswell.

You’re right.

Football fans (myself included) love a deadline day signing and I dare say if we signed anyone today that has already joined us this window we’d be delighted and say it’s a good day.

But the fact of the matter is we lost our main attacking threat and player the team was so reliant on over a week ago. To not replace him is criminal.

I think it’s more a case of the fact we’ve had glaring issues in the middle of the park for 3 or 4 windows and now look like we’ve somehow managed to get weaker there. Newell, JDH, Campbell, a never fit Magennis & Allan who we are actively trying to move on. While they’re not the answer we’re now short on numbers as well as quality with Gogic & Hallberg gone.

The midfield got Ross sacked and Maloney looks like he’s going to have to work wonders just to survive long enough to actually fix it in the summer.

[cabbageandribs1875]

can't wait for the window to close



so the 3,3** guests finally **** off

[Nicho87]

Problem is the 5/6 signed earlier were required after the mess Ross and mathie left us with in summer window.

Hibs sold Boyle our top scorer and have failed to bring in a replacement

With fans already swaying on how the club is being run Ron / Ben / whoever are risking a bit with no replacement for our best player.

Madness

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Who’s this Runar Hauge Sky says we have signed? A Norwegian striker

More a winger, it’s on the fishy site. One for the dev team though, unlike the other Norwegian who was signed for the 1st team.

[onfire]

Totally agree. As Billy mentioned earlier Daz won't be on a big wage. He's also a model professional and can only be a positive having him around the place. Be really disappointed if we're trying to get our of the contract we offered him.


And a hugely likeable person at the same time - he was saying at a st pat’s meeting a while back he was doing his coaching badges - Always thought he’d be part of the coaching team here.

Completely agree. We lost Boyle who had over 20 goal involvement in 2021. We needed to add someone in the team who will try and fill that gap. Doesn't need to be the same position either.

Melkersen and Hague have already been described as players for the future. Henderson isn't going to get you anywhere near the same levels of goals and assists as Boyle.

Really surprised we haven't made a signing first team ready after losing Boyle.

Heard he picked up a knock in a bounce game tonight.

We had a trialist (Barker) who also got injured.

[Torto7]

I'm fine with the window. We got our business done early. Boyle leaving apart. The hysteria is ridiculous as far as I'm concerned. I'm looking forward to seeing more of Rocky, Melkerson and co. I can't see any signing from another Scottish club I'm envious of Rantic apart.

[Callum_62]

Have we recalled Dan Mackay yet ffs

To "replace" Boyle with a player of similar quality is just not going to happen, especially not in 10 days in January. A bit more squad depth would be lovely though.

[Greencore]

I said I or others may get banned at the end of this transfer window..... I think it may happen

I think it’s less about pulling rabbits from hats but about putting together a playing staff and coaches who are capable of meeting our expectations.

For now I’m going to keep my powder dry - as a lot could change over the next few hours - but it’s fair to say I’m “concerned” about the nick the club has found itself in having been in a position of strength not so long ago (understatement).
