Summer 2022-23 transfer thread

[SHODAN]

Stockton seems to have finally figured out how to score goals, wouldn't be unhappy with this.

[flash]

Not sure how I feel about this.

One thing I will say is if he didn't have that poor spell across town I would be very interested having watched the goals from last season.

[04Sauzee]

Stockton seems to have finally figured out how to score goals, wouldn't be unhappy with this.

Incredibly he's got a very similar scoring record to Ross Stewart last season who got a call up to the Scotland squad. Sunderland as we know we're always near the top of the league. Morecambe were nowhere close

Some goals from the season past. Of it wasnt for his name we'd be saying sign him up 😀 https://youtu.be/iqYLpN2tYlo

[CapitalGreen]

Interesting one, if he never had a poor spell at Hearts this would look like an astute signing. His goal scoring record over the last 2 years is very good, comparable to Doidge’s but this season in the league above.

Yes his career has definitely improved since he left Hearts. An interesting one and he will certainly have something to prove if he comes up here. Says a lot for him that he is willing to take that on. Certainly the sort of striker we could do with scores goals, physical and strong and can run.

[Broken Gnome]

This isn't putting our league down, but I can't envisage any English player having a mare up here, doing really well in the lower leagues in England and likely having a few possible moves, yet somehow being intent on having unfinished business in Scotland.

Likely a fair point tbh - will probably want to stay down there if he can ….

[Hibee Mac]

Just seen his goals from the season past, unreal haha. Some absolute screamers in there, like others have said, without the Hearts link we'd be buzzing with this ...

[WhileTheChief..]

23 goals and 4 assists in 44 games at Morecambe. What's not to like?

Morecambe :duck:

Regan Charles-Cook did nowt for years and all of a sudden has one great season scoring-wise. Some people on here buzzing at us being linked.

[GordonHFC]

He played for Hearts 5 years ago. People forget Boyle wasn't that great 5 years ago.

[MyJo]

I’m fairness to Stockton, he appears to have turned into Drogba https://youtu.be/iqYLpN2tYlo 🤣

Some of the finishes in there were outstanding. I thought it was a highlight reel at first but then realised it was just his goals from this season.

23 goals for one of the lowest finishing teams in that league is pretty good.

Have to admit I have zero recollection of him at Hearts but that video suggests he’s physical, direct on the ball and can finish from anywhere in the final third which is what we have been sorely lacking.

Could be an interesting signing if it happens

I agree , some cracking goals and he is a unit too. Good foil for Nisbet and Melky and our up and coming youngsters. Need him and another striker plus CM and CD

i would like to think melkerson is being put out on loan next season mate hes naewhere ready for the first team

[Eyrie]

Most people remember Stockton as someone who couldn't score which is a valid reason for not being keen, as opposed to who he played for.

James Collins had a good scoring record in England either side of his time here, but struggled with us.

So my initial reaction would be disappointment if we do sign him.

[Onceinawhile]

Was it not a volley v Celtic?

I think that was a friendly rather than a competitive game.

Why not just sign Rory Mcallister

[Mikey_1875]

Hard one to judge. He was obviously a flop at hearts but something seems to have clicked at Morecambe and he is finding goals.

If it was me making the call I’d say it’s a bit too much of a gamble and he would be coming with extra pressure on his shoulders. Not to mention added grief for the club in general if it doesn’t work out. A man with a point to prove though could work in our favour.

[micksoo]

Some cracking goals last season and a powerful guy. Playing for a team near the bottom of League 1 scored 3 less goals in 5 less games than Scotland striker Ross Stewart. I’m up for this.

[BSEJVT]

Some very good finishes in there

But for some of the others the goalies do know they are meant to save them?

No view either way on whether he signs or doesn’t

I have seen some sure fire signings flop and other meh ones excel

[hibee92]

He’s rotten.

Kind of how I see it. He’d have a hell of a lot of pressure on him.

[loanheadhibby]

Is he a better option than Doidge? Sound very similar

[EGL2000]

Hope we are looking in foreign markets, I feel you get alot more value for money there compared with England.

I have no recollection of him at Hearts but there were some cracking goals in that footage, seems strong and direct and goals from all over the pitch, he could just be a late bloomer who's realised what he needs to do in this business.

[JimBHibees]

Wouldn't be against it. Hearts version of James Collins - has come to life again down South. He was awful at Hearts but there's clearly a player in there as he is showing now. Has good physique which is something we are missing and is a good age, perhaps matured into a more confident player. Would have a grudge against them aswell. Could be interesting if anything in it

Tend to agree with that

[BegbieHSC]

Absolutely no to Cole Stockton. League 1 is a terrible standard - it’s the league that the likes of Josh ****ing Vela thrive in. He’s tried and failed up here - plus he’s a bit dodgy character wise.

My one concern about Johnson was that we’d be quite parochial and with our scouting, looking mainly at the English leagues. I hope Cole Stockton’s aren’t a sign of things to come…

[Brown Hibs]

Stockton would be a very poor signing. He has no mobility and already failed up here. Top flight in Scotland is better than league one. No thanks.

Also a concern of mine, the amount of players who come up with great league one rep and are rank is mental.

[S4uzee]

Did he not always play up to them in the media before derbies too?

[brog]

The goals are the same size in League 1 as they are in Scotland and some of those finishes were exquisite. Re comparison with Christian I would say Stockton looks more mobile and seems very comfortable in one on ones with the keeper, not Christian's strength. He seems a real predatory 6 yard box finisher, something we lack but I found the lack of headed goals quite surprising. I may have been mixing him up with another Hearts "star" a 6 ft 7 striker who couldn't strike! Anyone help?

They signed a boy from some European country a few season ago. Levein was desperate to bring him in the summer but the club wouldn't deal and he came In the winter, played a couple of game's and sure Levein actually came out in post match interview and said he was crap? Can't recall his name.

Some players just don't click at certain clubs or in certain systems. If LJ thinks there's a good player in there and will fit in with the way he wants us to play then I'm happy with that.

Worth remembering that before being relegated Hearts were mince.

A backup striker then maybe worth a shot. But no way should he be coming in as a first choice striker. He’s not good enough for that. His scoring record in his career is poor.

[BSEJVT]

One thing a lot of us are guilty of is taking either a like or dislike to a certain player and not being able to look at him objectively thereafter

I didn’t rate Doidge at all and posted an ill advised rant about him a couple of years back.

Some assertions I made about his likely stats (based purely on my observations of the player) I was told were nonsense (I checked and they were) and I viewed Doidge in a different light thereafter

IMO he was looking really good before getting injured in training /COVID and I am really sorry for the guy

He looked miles off it when he came back though and I hope for both his and our sake he can get it back.

Our apparent willingness to sell him to Dundee in Jan suggests injury is career limiting which would be a great shame

[Unseen work]

Whilst Stockton has undoubtedly had a brilliant season in a league not to different standard wise to ours I’d be slightly hesitant as his goalscoring rate before this was awful.

Maybe having moved up leagues he’s now just getting used to the standard and how to play? He’s 28 now so maybe just knows his game better and what’s effective but he’s a late bloomer to say the least.

Similar to RCC I have my reservations after one good season.

The issue at Hibs is we will need to take chances, anyone that’s had more than 1 season like Stockton or RCC will be well out with our budget.

I trust Johnson and he has a specific type of player so whatever my pre conceived ideas are I’ll be willing to give them the benefit of the doubt if he thinks they can do the job.

Re Doidge, you know that how? One of the key aspects on why the support took to him despite the initial lack of goals was his workrate and determination.

The major Achilles injury (these can be *really* bad) is the likely cause for his sluggishness.it can take a year plus to fully recover.

Where has this come from? He has had a serious injury and also covid let's not be making up other stuff to slate the guy. Hope he gets back to full fitness next season. Personally think he will leave this close season

[brog]

Doidge is 10x the player of Stockton. Doidge should definitely be kept. Very good player.

Keeping posting it doesn't make it true. FWIW I like Christian, mainly because, as others have said, of his attitude and effort. IMO however he's a fairly limited player, his excellence in the air being negated by his lack of pace and poor touch. I hope he recovers his pre injury form and if he does he'll be an asset but I'm not over optimistic.

[147lothian]

Attitude did look suspect at times last season.

Doige might have had limited natural ability but what made me take to the guy was his work rate and attitude, I thought he was really unlucky with the injury but I never questioned his attitude, opinions eh

[Unseen work]

Anyone know who the player were expecting to sign this week is?

Stockton, Turner, McGeady, McKirdy and Charles Cook have been the players were linked with to date.

One of them likely or any other rumours?

[Northernhibee]

Utterly crazy views on Doidge. He may have been suffering from his injury or COVID but his attitude has always been spot on and on form is arguably the best non Old Firm target man in the league. If he scores one, he’ll score ten more. When he hasn’t been scoring he holds it up well, defends set pieces and improves those around him.

If there’s a chance of getting him back to full fitness then it would be criminal to let him go.

It is true, whether I post it on not. He isn't exactly slow for his type of striker, and certainly doesn't have some dreadful first touch.

His biggest problem is he is quite streaky with his scoring streaks. His general play is always good.

I tend to agree, I also think Nisbet looked much better when he had Doidge up front with him.

[Big_Franck]

Karamoko Dembele out of contract at Celtic and definitely worth a punt I'd say. Looked to have real ability from the glimpses I saw of him at Celtic, but he was lightweight and inconsistent. That's typical of wingers his age (he's still only 19) but there's a lot of potential there.

[Unseen work]

Really? I’d be stunned if we got anywhere close to the wages he’d want. What sort of position is he playing now?

Flint a possibility?

I used to really rate doidge but I'm a bit worried that that last major injury has done him in.

I agree that pre injury he wasn't as slow as some made out, but since coming back into the team he's been getting out paced by most centre backs he's came up against.

Seems to have lost that explosive ability to leap high when going for headers as well.

Hopefully after a pre season he can come back good again but a part of me is thinking that any pace he had and his Arial ability may have been irreversibly lost after that ligament injury.

[04Sauzee]

Like an Ollie Burke type 👀😁

Surely not 👀

I agree and I think Christian was hurting when he played last season, but if Nisbet, or pretty much any other player, had turned in those recent performances then they would have been slaughtered.

Genuinely not sure it is. Don't know how well he got on at Milwall recently mind you. But any time I've seen the guy he's hasn't looked great at all.

Still only 25 though as you say so room to improve. Can only imagine the wage he'd be looking for would price us out though.

I'd make that decision for him. He's not worth the hassle imo. Huge ego and would turn toxic if the chips were down. Stockton seems like a very average player. I can't remember him doing anything up here and his career isn't exactly impressive albeit last season he was clearly banging them in. His min to goal ratio in league 1 wasn't far off Ross Stewart's.

I don't get this "career isn't impressive" stuff. Players Hibs are looking at are never going to have really impressive careers unless we're signing them at the tail end of it. We can only really go on the last season or two for a player and hope they can replicate it a level up from where they've done it.

Regularly searching John McGinn's name on Twitter and it looks like there's a very strong possibility of him going to West Ham or Spurs. Fee around 50 million. What a game-changing bonanza that would be. Might hear a bit more when he returns from international duty.

Would he want to swap Aston Villa for West Ham? I don't really follow English football but having just checked the table there was only 11 points between the clubs. Is it much of a step up? I always had Villa down as a bigger club than West Ham. Tottenham would be an obvious step up. Do West Ham have wealthy owners?

[HendoDelivered]

Wonder if we will be looking at Jordan Jones or Liam Lindsay?

[Dr What If?]

McGinn is an excellent fit in the Villa team, is paid well enough and is a bit of a favourite with the fans but what he is missing in his career so far is European football. If McGinn was to leave Villa then surely the only real pull would be a chance to test himself in the CL or at the very least the Europa? Spurs might be the best fit in that case and there is always the outside chance of a trophy being thrown in there too.

You would think that Doig and porteous if both leave would greatly impact on players we want in quality wise. Allows us to shop a grade up ..

Funny sense of deja vu going back to last summer here, and that didn’t end well.

Wouldn’t mind seeing us go for Michael Rose. Always thought he was a decent centre back. Think he’s been doing well for Cov since moving from Ayr. Still a relatively young age too, so still plenty room to get even better.

Doig and porteous being sold this year if it meant reinvestment directly into the playing squad - would be happy to see them move on if it came about that is

[SHODAN]

Allowed to leave? Not allowed to stay surely?

He has fulfilled the minimum requirement of Scoring a Goal Against Hearts, he may now depart with his head held high.

Anyone know who JamesHFC is on about or heard anything? He seems to have been bang on lately.

Surely an announcement soon since the early bird deadline is at 5.

No Idea, can't even remember what snippets he's provided ? I know the Scotsman/EEN were suggesting we were close to a signing and expected an announcement early this week?

I have never understood this, they are 2 of our best players. Why would we want to sell them? Any funds received and more would have to be spent to get the same quality in those positions back into the club. Any offer for them would have to be exceptional and I doubt that will happen.

From memory he was the one saying Johnson was getting the job before the press and then reported McGeady before the press too. Think he rubbished the Stockton one when it was initially reported and think there’s potentially another one or two he’s mentioned but has been spot on lately 👍🏻

Good info then

Possibly because it would allow us to sign players to become a better team overall.

Keeping in mind we’d probably be looking at £5m or so for the two of them, that gives us a hell of a lot of money to play with.

I’d also argue that at this point in time, neither of them are irreplaceable. Anyone buying Doig is buying him for his potential, same with Porteous but to a lesser degree. I don’t think it’s out with the realms of possibility that we could get players of a similar standard in for free/small fees. They maybe wouldn’t have the sell on value in future these two have of course.
