Winter 2021-22 transfer thread

[chippy]

That would mean Nisbet and Boyle offski if that turned out to be true, hell of a young line up though.

maybe just one goes

[Hibbyradge]

So having a look online we'd have to pay a fee through fifas "training compensation regime". Although I don't know if this matters wether arsenal offer him a new contract or not.

It's always payable, contract offer or not.

[Is It On....]

I think this is a really interesting window.

There are widely acknowledged shortcomings in the construction of the squad and Mathie paid the price for the last transfer window.

We have also recruited a new manager who despite his protestations to the contrary will want to have some of his choices in the squad so he can play the way he wants.

I think the level of investments and to a lesser extent movement in the squad will give us a really good idea of RG's intentions.

Fully expect that it is not a great window to do things in, but there is a huge prize up for grabs that is well within reach over the next 6 months and I will be really interested to see what happens here.

As long as he chooses are from the list provided, after detailed analysis, by our recruitment team. I do not want to go back to the days of the manager recruiting "his" players. That's basically the strategy Hibs have followed prior to 2014 and in my time watching us (since the early 80s) it hasn't been successful.

Moira Gordon saying in The Scotsman online Clarke having medical tomorrow morning with a view to signing an 18 month loan deal by tomorrow evening. Since he's only supposed to have 6 months left with Arsenal does that mean he's signed a new deal with them?

[jacomo]

I really hope it’s all done as he’s a very good young player with loads of potential imo.

If we can do it with him I hope we do it with Joseph Hungbo, although he has a couple of years left on his deal with Watford.

Again we seem to be targeting young players with potential given Clarke and Henderson. Hope we get some experience in too


I think we’ve got lots of experience in this squad, senior players from defence to attack.

I’m happy we’re focusing on younger players.

[Dmas]

I looked this up the other day as well after being told this by my mate who knows some Celtic fans. Euan’s played a fraction of the matches that Liam’s played at the same age. Only 8 games for Celtic so no idea how the Celtic fans can make the leap to say he’s better.

That’s not to say he won’t be but at the age of 22 he’s played 25 first team games so let’s not set expectations too high.


Think its actually Liam Henderson that said he was better during some interview

Could be Arsenal giving him a new contract but want him developed further.

Or could be a hapless Jambo hack guessing

Moira Gordon doesn't have a scooby what she's talking about. Probably just guessed at a loan period of 18 months without even realising he's only under contract for another 6.

[WhileTheChief..]

I don't know anything about any of the players we're being linked with but hopefully they're good enough to be challenging for the first team.

What I mean is, I'm not wanting more like Dylan Tait, who may turn out be brilliant, but is being signed for his potential, not for what he can do for us now. That's nothing against Tait by the way, just using him as an example.

I'm all for us signing players that we see as having future sell on value, of course that makes total sense. But i don't want that to be our priority.

I want us to be focusing on the here and now and getting players in that will take us to 3rd this season.

Arthur Duncan, played on for years moved back when he got around 33 he ended up having Hibs record amount of appearances, scored more than 100 goals as well if my memory is still working.
:flag::flag::flag:

Before my time but football was a different world in the 70s / 80s than it is today.

[worcesterhibby]

Interesting and not how I remember it and I’d been going a long while by 1981. How many years earlier do you think we should have moved Arthur on?

to be fair Iggy looking back I was only 13 and not really in a position to judge a player. My memories of his contribution is that all the “old guys” loved him, but I couldn’t see it, he seemed like he was past his best to me at the time, but I’m more than happy to be corrected by someone who had a proper appreciation of football.

[worcesterhibby]

Man you dis a true legend of Hibernian FC, away and sit on the naughty step for a few days and then get back on here with your groveling apology.
I had the good fortune (most of the time) of watching the Hibs for around 20 years before you seen him playing his part in watch the midwife (whatever that is)

Reports are now all saying a loan deal for Clarke.

I just don’t see how that makes any sense if no agreement is put in place about signing him.

Really concerned that 6 months with us will lead to the old firm wanting him on a cheap deal.

Hopefully we do enough to make it permanent.

[inglisavhibs]

That's true, but by the time I started going to games in 1981 he was slower than an omnibus edition of Call The Midwife and well past his best. Probably should have moved him on a few years earlier.
Arthur finished at Meadowbank Thistle, he may have been passed his best but he was anything but slow 😁

Unless it’s a stonking 6 months that helps propel us up into a 3rd place finish, winning the cup in the process, from a player whose only interest in playing for Hibs was a short term one that put him in the shop window?

Obviously I’d prefer a longer deal if he’s obviously good. But short term deals can still suit. We’ve done quite well out of them in recent January windows.

Really refreshing for some rumors from unknown places and teams.

Would be sad if Boyle was to go this window but Hibs would always be there after a player leaves.

Personally think Boyle will stay and end his career at Hibs.

Arthur finished at Meadowbank Thistle, he may have been passed his best but he was anything but slow [emoji16]What a brilliant player Arthur was, key part of the best Hibs team I've seen, scored plenty goals and set up a good few as well, still one of the best wingers we've had in my time watching Hibs.

He was very quick and direct, and one who got you out your seat when he was on the ball.

[Since452]

Can't remember the last time Moira Gordon got something right.

[Hibees1973]

If we get offered £3m for Boyle, Hibs should and will sell.

This is his maximum value, it makes business sense and we have had 4-5 really good years from him. He would go with my best wishes and it is fact we will evolve under a new manager with new ideas.

The same goes for any asset Hibs have, for example, Porteous, Doig, Nisbet, etc. We must get the best price for all our players if bids come in for them. My only concern selling 3 or 4 in the same window.

Hibs have always been and will always be erratic and inconsistent on the field as our best players will move on. That's what Hibs are. I think we need to use this window to try and ship out players who have not stepped up. This could be for various reasons, for example performances or injury. We really should try to move on the likes of MacKay, Hallberg, MacGregor, Gogic, Murphy, Allan, Gullan, Wright. There are players in our under 18's, the two prime example and Laidlaw & O'Connor, who Maloney should promote to the senior squad now.

Maloney was an attacking/footballing player and I'm pleased he wants us to play this way. There have been numerous players linked to us in this thread but I am not concerned at all about one or two of our best players leaving.

Don’t agree with getting rid of players who have injuries. Unless they are career ending this is poor. It not their fault they’re injured and can hardly produce if they aren’t playing. Very harsh outlook and can’t see that ever being policy.

I think Mackie is an enigma. He’s 23 now and been here for 6 1/2 seasons but only played 22 games for Hibs. I’d move him on, he might get over his injuries and be a late developer but think it’s a tough case to make for keeping him.

Scattergun approach…… [emoji23][emoji23]

That’s been their approach for decades and at one point they had a 1st team squad that included the Greek Ballack and the best dead all player in league in Maulray Martin.

Both those signings turned out really well as did the 20 odd others that January??

We will release plenty and hopefully a more balanced squad. They are going to lose their best player in Souttar for next to nothing with Kingsley and Halkett potentially following him!

MADE THEIR MOVE

Aberdeen have made an approach to St Mirren for Jamie McGrath, according to reports.

The Dons have been interested in signing the Irish striker since last season and could now move forward on it.

And with only six months left on his deal, the Buddies might be prepared to cash in this month.

According to Sky Sports, the Pittodrie club have contacted their Paisley counterparts about McGrath.

Aberdeen are reportedly keen to at least snap him up on a pre-contract this month before any other interested clubs make their move.

Injury prone, minimal end product and has become accustomed to being able to produce next to f all for a hefty wage.

Shame. Hope he enjoys his loans to the championship and then inevitable release in 4 years time after making a handful of appearances from the bench in league cup games. I’m not bitter though, honest!

Thought exactly the same mate. He should have a deek at who they are trying to release already if he had any sense. He wants to make it at Celtc fair enough, come learn under our guys then move on if good enough instead of sitting in the Lowland League for their B side. Ludicrous. :aok:

Had a wee look on brokeback.

They have a cartoon of a couple of guys burning money and relating this to the Hibs transfer approach.

Talk about hypocrisy. No other club in Scotland has burned as much money as them in the last 5 - 6 years.

Not only slagging off our potential signings but also slagging off our recruitment policy proves how much they are worried about us catching them.

You are right, in the last 5 years or so they've probably been the worst in the SPFL, pound for pound, in the transfer market and have been the biggest under achievers.

[BegbieHSC]

Wonder what the fee we’re paying for Melkerson is, given the Scotsman state it is ‘significantly’ more than the £350k already suggested.

Makes you think either one of Boyle/Doig/Nisbet/Porto is off, or Ron is fronting personally a substantial war chest for Maloney. Exciting times.

I don't think Ron is here to mess around. Some of the new contracts dished out are proof of that. Exciting second half of the season ahead imo.

[ian cruise]

We're obviously still looking at targets that we had under Ross. I'd be surprised if Maloney has come in from Belgium and pinpointed Harry Clarke from Ross County. No issue with that just an observation.

Agree with this, though I don't actually have any issues with it as I felt we've brought in good players during Ross' time. Scott is the obvious one that hasn't worked out but even Ross called him out publicly on the lack of effort he was showing.

I was a Ross fan, we were getting good results, but I'll not disagree with the point of view we were maybe under utilising some players to play it safe. So if Maloney likes the look of these players and thinks they'll work in his system then we've been doing something right.

He isn’t there now but they’ve got a long way to go before they can start slagging other clubs signing policies.

Yip, McGeouch should be in his prime but will be scratching about looking for a club at the bottom end of the SPL or EFL 1 next season.

It's a difficult one IMO. There's every chance that McGeoch probably does retain a lot of the ability he had when he was at Hibs, but it's still a gamble in terms of how many games we get out of him and what kind of money he's on. I suppose a valid question might be, is he better than a good defensive midfielder we can get for the same price and play more games?

How can you say this? The fact he hasn’t got into an Aberdeen side under two different managers when their side has been Tom Kite for the majority of his time there surely tells its own story? He’s had his injuries but even without those he’s had ample time to get into their team and failed.

Likely to be a player exchange and some cash (2/3 million est.) if it does happen. Milan is likely destination now.

McGeouch was always going to be an odd fit for McInnes' Aberdeen, strange one as he'd the manager who bought him.

I might have expected him to re-emerge under a manager keener on playing a bit of football but that doesn't really seem to have been the case.

Hedges has been linked with Blackburn and I doubt if McGrath would be a replacement for him. I would say he was more of a natural replacement for Ferguson or a partner which would give them a very strong midfield imo. Ideally we would not want McGrath at Aberdeen to play along side Ferguson. As far as we are concerned, we don't want them to get McGrath, and also Ferguson leaving in the summer would be cherry on the cake.

Not arsed about McGrath. He'd be an OK player for Hibs, Hearts or Aberdeen, nothing more.

Lets be honest, when Dylan left Sunderland it was hopefully to go to a side to give him the platform to again move on again at some point to a higher level. He chose Aberdeen and now he's on his way to a lower level. He should have and should be having a much better career and I can't see him getting any higher a level now than bottom six Prem sides.

If it is the reported £12 million plus that’s a crazy amount of money for someone who’s played a handful of games the last 2 seasons.

Everton have lost the plot paying that for a Rangers back up player.

The boy looks outstanding.

Why not just report the posts without telling the forum you've done it?

It’s all gone very Lee Wallace on here.

I wouldn't believe anything on that site.

They just take educated guesses based on what is being reported elsewhere.

In this instance I reckon they have probably guessed correctly.:greengrin

Not to me. He scored a lovely goal v Moldova, but before that he looked a little bit out of his depth at international level.

He’s not made a huge impression so far at Rangers and it’s a bit of a huge gulf between the SPFL snd the Prem.

I would say a very good prospect, but a long way to go before applying outstanding to him and that’s just in the SPFL. The Hun will be delighted to get close to the kind of fee being quoted.

St Johnstone have just signed Tony Gallacher, 22, left-sided defender from Liverpool. McCart could be on his way.

Gallacher is more of a left-back, replacing the guy on loan from Man Utd and providing competition for Callum Booth, who is now 30, which makes me feel utterly ancient!

What is also very quite is players leaving.
You wonder about the obvious three.
Boyle
Nisbet

Not that i want any to leave .

Big money transfer, some deal impossible to turn down

Anyone got a link to the transfer thread?

There should be a dedicated thread specifically for petty bickering, egos, vendettas, trolling and point scoring. Give the usual suspects what they want and the rest of us can enjoy the thread with some popcorn.

Bet it just take a tiny amount of that to get Calvin Ramsay from Aberdeen as a ready replacement, it would make sense for them. How come ****bags get all the luck in this life

[marinello59]

Are we going to have to close another thread becomes of childish petty bickering. Give it a break please.

I get that m59 but it's a shame to close a thread when plenty posters are making good contributions.

I really do hope we announce a signing this afternoon!

We should have a ‘digression’ thread where the admins delete posts for being ON topic.

[Glory Lurker]

Patterson is a very special prospect. What must SJM really be worth? Come on big EPL chequebooks, let's be 'avin you!

[Jones28]

Please announce something Hibs, before close of thread.

No.3 as well can’t be a right back and wear no.3 Jesus it’s surely in the rule books!

Jamie McGrath always looks useful on five to ten minute clips on Sportscene but I've never been overly impressed with him in games against us or in full televised games.

He scores goals but a high percentage are penalties.

I'm not fussed whether we sign him or not, I certainly wouldn't be signing him just to stop Aberdeen getting him.

[Ronniekirk]

Genuinely think St Mirren missed out last window. Allan, Wright and a few bob was a good deal.

They accepted our deal it was us that did t get the paperwork completed
In time ,or do the story goes

Kind of the way I’ve felt when I’ve seen him play. Can’t really remember him being a stand out against us.

Could be one of those who’d be even better in a better team though, who knows. Don’t think I’d be too disheartened if he joined the sheep.

There was chat last night on Clyde super scoreboard about Boyle to Celtic. No idea where it’s come from or if there’s any substance in it.

Hopefully it’s just a 2 + 2 = 5 with potecoglou being Australian

Souter to Huns? Rumour doing the rounds

Wouldn't be surprised.

Hopefully sign him on a pre and then get him for a paltry sum.

[Tyler Durden]

Hedges has been linked with Blackburn and I doubt if McGrath would be a replacement for him. I would say he was more of a natural replacement for Ferguson or a partner which would give them a very strong midfield imo. Ideally we would not want McGrath at Aberdeen to play along side Ferguson. As far as we are concerned, we don't want them to get McGrath, and also Ferguson leaving in the summer would be cherry on the cake.

McGrath tends to play more advanced from what I’ve seen.

I couldn’t really care if he signed for Aberdeen personally. I think they’ll continue to be an inconsistent team either way and he’s not that great IMO.

Surprised Celtic haven't been in for him for the same reason.

Disappointed no signing today, I was expecting at least one announced.

It's a public holiday in Scotland. Have other Scottish clubs announced any incoming transfers?

Up to £16 million for Patterson, with a sell on clause, is good business for Sevco. He hasn't played many games in the first team. Easy to say with hindsight, but that's the type of money we should have gotten for McGinn.

With the contract situation we were never going to get much for him.

Hopefully with a big money transfer to another English club we will get what we deserve.

Do normal public holidays apply to football?

Wild speculation on my part but if McGrath was to join the Sheep this window, then it might herald the departure of Lewis Ferguson.

Lewis Ferguson is a player that would improve our midfield. He’s sadly beyond our budget, but if wee Ron really wanted to make a statement of intent and also sign a player who would have an immediate impact........

This time last year ( more or less ) that Nisbet asked for a transfer .

I imagine that they apply to the staff.

Melkerson deal seems to be agreed. 4 year deal.

Not a bank holiday though, nearly everyone is back to work, McInnes has been announced at Killie. Just felt if there was a couple of players in getting medicals, an announcement would be really good way to start the new year off, a few folk talking of deals being done and number of years etc.
