Summer 2022-23 transfer thread

[Gordy M]

No, I've been a fan of Hickey as a talent since he was at them.. The boys a serious baller with a nice touch, great left foot and a superb mentality towards his football.

But he's not a right back. If we're going to play a left back there it should be a more experienced player - he was hung out to dry

Hickey has played several times on the right for Bologna.

[xqnq1875]

Just heard from a close pal that’s a dundee utd fan that Jack Ross wants to sign Paul Mcginn (jack Ross Will be announced as dundee utd manager on Monday for those who don’t know) but Paul will have options elsewhere, can definitely see him linking up with jack ross again seemed to have been a big fan of him

Dundee Utd have a couple of decent younger RB's unless he wants him because he's versatile and trusts him.

Have seen a number of Utd fans saying they can see Doidge turning up there.

At least twice this season with the rest of the Hibs team as we pump them both times 🤣

Jack Ross teams can't defend crosses, as we know, so just need to give the ball to Jair (rhymes with Jair) 😉

If we had been able to defend crosses in the cups that season as well as we did in the league there would be a statue of Jack Ross getting built outside Easter Road.

And conceded from two crosses when we got battered 3-0 at home to Livi.

Aye, could have been two Scottish Cups and a League Cup in the bag.

Think the actual stat was that we didn’t lose a headed goal (from a cross) in the league in 20/21. Still lost goals from crosses I think, just not headed. And we made up for that element of it early doors last season.

yeah i think both will go just hope we get a decent wedge for them

[Tambo]

If we can get 3mil with a few add ons then you can't complain. Had a great first season but last season he was on and off.

At least he won't be going along the m8 and I wonder if we will try get the lad from west ham we was linked with.

[Since452]

3m up front would be a good bit of business for Doig. As for Porteous, will we get much for him? When is he contracted to?

porto has a year left i think

[Smartie]

Losing Doig, Porteous and Clarke would be a disaster. Probably our best 3 defenders.

They are.

However - we've not seen much of Clarke, and he was only ever with us on loan. Porto is going into the last year of his contract and this way we'll get some cash to replace him. Doig I'd love to see stay, kick on a bit more and earn us all later once he's established himself in his best position (not LCB) but if there is decent money on offer then it would be hard not to take it.

Together it will allow Johnson to properly put his own stamp on the team.

[HFC93]

If we get good money for Doig I'd like to see us bid for Jason Kerr. I know he's a different position but it would be a sensible way to reinvest the money.

[Spike Mandela]

The money Aberdeen are getting for that laddie on the back of a terrible season for Aberdeen makes the McGinn deal to Villa seem ridiculous doesn't it? He was a cup winner and an International by the time we sold him.

I know about the sell ons but they are always a gamble. Definitely sold McGinn on the cheap.

[HIBS NUTS]

Heard from a creditable source earlier.

i hate to say it, but in my very long time supporting hibs, i have never seen us spend most of the money earned,after receiving a good transfer fee, or fees, and i include the most recent transfer fee for martin , in that analysis.
i would much rather watch porto play next season for us, than get a replacement.

I don't know why people keep saying we sold McGinn on the cheap. He only had 1 year left on his deal. Ramsay had several years left, as does Doig so they are not comparable. To get over £2m for McGinn with one year left and to also negotiate add ons was good business in anyone's books.

[04Sauzee]

Heard from a creditable source earlier.

Not sure McGinn will go this window
Any money coming in this season looks like it will be from Porteous and Doig and maybe a few smaller fees from the likes of Macey.

[04Sauzee]

If we get good money for Doig I'd like to see us bid for Jason Kerr. I know he's a different position but it would be a sensible way to reinvest the money.

Jason Kerr would command a very decent fee, on top of that his wages I imagine would be a huge stumbling block, I'd imagine he's on a decent wage at Wigan. I could off course be talking nonsense 😁

This. If McGinn was to move on this summer we’d be nearing £10 million in total from his transfer. Which is great for someone who had a year left when we sold him

[Stuart93]

Have we got any of the cash left we got for boyle?

Surely don’t need to sell anyone before we spend a bit?

They're very different for many reasons.

Right at the start of the window vs right at the end - We didn't have time to negotiate because if the window shut we lost him for nothing a year later

Much bigger club in a better position buying him

Longer on his contract I assume?

The lad is 18, giving him years and years ahead of him. McGinn improved since leaving but not as much as Ramsey could. McGinn was more proven yes, but also had much less room to improve.

[Billy Whizz]

Willo Flood is Calvin Ramsey’s agent, a nice wee earner for him too!

[Mrimbetween]

Is McGinn on the move then ??

[Del Boy]

Zander Clark to Hibs is rumour I heard today

[cameronw-hfc]

Is McGinn on the move then ??

Said countless times on here it's highly unlikely now. He's gonna command a massive fee, Villa don't need to sell, he's in no rush to go anywhere, and who would pay what Villa want for him? I highly doubt anyone will.

It's rumoured every summer and there's never even been a serious bid for him, so it's all paper talk and incredibly unlikely. Add in the fact he's coming off the back of one of his worst seasons for Villa.

If it was going to happen it would have happened the first year after the promotion for Villa, but he got injured and that probably scuppered any chance of it that season.

If he goes then by all accounts come back to this post and say how wrong I was, but the only club that genuinely seem interested are Spurs, and I don't think they're forking out the cash needed.

If you mean Paul Mcginn, probably. Not needed, won't need to wait for a fee, assume if someone's interested Hibs will just allow him to go for next to nothing.

He’s a good goalie, but surely Marshall is going to play most weeks
Can’t see Clark wanting to sit on the bench

[Sioux]

Why would we sing him when we've just signed Marshall?

[brog]

Losing Doig, Porteous and Clarke would be a disaster. Probably our best 3 defenders.

I don't think Clarke ever played for us as an out and out defender.

[Since452]

Zander Clark to Hibs is rumour I heard today

Would be surprised if he came as backup

[Since90+2]

I don't think Clarke ever played for us as an out and out defender.

You're maybe correct, but I still think he's better than anyone at the club who plays in a defensive role with the possible exception of Porteous.

We didn't see a lot of him but from what I seen he was a very good player. Good athlete, quick and strong, read the game well and technically was very good. He was out of our price range for a reason.

[Unseen work]

Signing Zander Clarke would be absolutely ridiculous and make zero sense.

Re Doig, surely it’s a 3 million minimum with sell on clause.

Regardless of what foot is his strongest (, clearly he's very good with both) he's played most of his football on the left - therefore right back is not his natural position on the pitch.. He's played the total of about 3 games there his whole career ffs

[Since90+2]

According to Levein Hickey is the most two footed player he's ever worked with. He does appear to be very comfortable on either.

He's played left back the majority of every season he's played. He's a left back.. Anywhere else is out of position, what's hard to understand about that? Critical thinking clearly not your strong point

Ryan Porteous has had a shot up front when we're chasing the game, would putting him up front be the natural thing to him?

Are people more receptive to opposing opinions on there? Considering signing up

[PH91]

Teams are paying for potential with Doig. In terms of current ability, we will be able to sign a player at a similar level for much less money and use the rest to strengthen elsewhere. Selling, as long as the fee is reasonable, is a no brainer for me.

Porto is a different story, imo we will struggle to sign someone as good as him given our wage limits. If he goes, we will be weaker in defence. I think we would be better off keeping him even if he doesn't sign a new deal and we lose him for free next summer.

[BoltonHibee]

If the Rocky rumour is true then maybe the reason we bought him is because it’s a low fee and we knew he had other interest that would gain us a ,albeit small, profit.

Would make the comments about signing him odd and I imagine make us get stick in the media, but if he and McGinn signed extensions and we get a profitable fee for both them surely that can be classed as good business?

We had to buy him because we made a James hunt of the loan deal. The terms of the deal were ludicrous in the first place then someone at the club wasn't paying attention which resulted in us having to buy him. Hibs don't want him and will absolutely be trying to move him on.

Does anyone actually know the actual details of the deal?

We all knew Hibs had an option to buy and in the statement it said an option had been triggered through the amount of appearances?

That could be if he plays x amount of games you can have him for 250k and Rocky is entitled the the contract we agreed with him in January and we’ve thought it’s worth it?

I struggle to believe the only way we signed him is if he played x amount of games and we had to take up the option, with the club only noticing last minute and being obliged to sign him.

I've watched quite a bit of him this season and that's not what i've seen. When he's played LWB he's overlapped and been quite happy to go on the outside into the final third. When I've seen him on the right, he rarely crosses the halfway line.

We've usually spent the money before it's earned.

That we don't shell out big headline sums to buy players is true, but all the money is used to keep the team going whether that's on wages or signing on fees etc.

Villa will listen to offers for McGinn.

He's not going to go to one of the big guns I don't think. Not sure how much Villa want for him but can't see him at a Man Utd, Spurs or West Ham. I'm thinking more likely to be Brighton or Leicester or abroad. That's if the reports are true of course.

Why in earth would he go to Brighton? He is rated and loved by the fans and management at Villa.

If they are listening to offers then it’s because they think they can get big money from a bigger club.

[JimBHibees]

I've watched quite a bit of him this season and that's not what i've seen. When he's played LWB he's overlapped and been quite happy to go on the outside into the final third. When I've seen him on the right, he rarely crosses the halfway line.

To be fair I haven't watched loads of his games for Bologna however thought he played quite conservatively havent seen him on the right for them

I’m really worried that he will stay at Villa few more years until his value has massively plummeted. Just like Scott Brown any sell on clause may not come to anything. Like you say, I don’t think he is quite good enough for the top 5 and why would he move sideways?

At the end of the day good on him for making a great career for himself but it would be amazing for us to get a big payday from his move.

Because if Villa want shot of him and he can make a fairly significant amount of money extra by moving to Leeds he would rather go somewhere he is wanted.

If clubs are accepting bids for players it’s because they’d rather they moved on and got the money for him, SJM will know that.

I still think McGinn will end up at Man United because their engine room is not firing at all so, his engine would be welcome. Although, Newcastle is a good shout too :D

[Col2]

I don’t really care where he goes.

All I care about is the net fee we get and get it early to help shape our remaining transfer activity. Assuming £50m / 15% & St Mirren 33% = c£5m then it could be the difference of a high quality striker and say extended deal for Porto. Might stop us selling Doig for a lesser fee as well.

[flash]

Reckon SJM will stay at Villa but if he doesn't I predict West Ham.

A lot more imply than that imo. £5m could fund a couple of marques signings each season for years to come.

Basically the most important transfer of the window for Hibs is a player that’s isn’t even ours.

Is this guy quality? With about 2 months to go in the window, how do you know the quantity of signings they will make?

[Smartie]

Best thing for us to have happened re McGinn would have been for Villa to get relegated - therefore a move to any number of inferior clubs might have been seen as step back up for him, clubs who still throw a decent bit of money around.

There's not any good reason for him to leave Villa for any of the clubs who are likely to be interested in him.

Having said that, he'd improve the likes of Man Utd. It's just whether or not they actually want to sign players who will improve them or just exist as a wasting ground for underperforming temperamental superstars.

[Unseen work]

I mentioned Jorge Grant a couple of years ago for us.

Good player, goalscoring midfielder.

If they have him, Mackay, Forrest, Boyce and Shankland they have a lot of genuine goal threat.

They’ve also all lost their best centre half (Souttar) and best striker (Simms). Don’t think they’ll be getting Cochran back from Brighton either.

Calm doon.

They're definitely favourites for third, but they're hardly signing quality over quantity. Alan Forrest is a half decent signing, but I'm no convinced he'll even get a game for Hearts, is he really any better than GMS? Some boy who's played less than 20 games for Dundee Utd, and an Aussie centre half who I doubt anyone knows much about. Jorge Grant, he's played at a good level, but I've never heard of him, so I couldnae say if that's a good signing or no.

They've already lost 3 players who played regularly for them last season though, in Simms and Souttar, who were 2 of their best players, plus Cochrane has gone back to Brighton.

[MWHIBBIES]

What are you even on about? You make it sound like we signed quantity last summer which we absolutely did not. If anything, we did take a quality over quantity approach and it cost us. We retained the players we had and didn't sign enough new ones, giving us no depth.

The biggest player for them is already on their books. I doubt anyone takes pleasure in bigging up a jambo but Gordon last season was different class. He must have saved them 20+ points on his own. Without him they would have been in the same melee that we and most of the rest of the league were in. If Gordon has another season like that then they will finish third.....the players they have lost or the ones they bring in are just window dressing.

If your not convinced Forrest gets a game for Hearts then it shows how far off we are to them atm, they are signing guys with little risk factor too, someone put up a list of our signings between january and so far this summer and the vast majority are a risk or based on potential. Worrying and I'll continue to worry until proven quality comes through that door.

[Since452]

People are forgetting how dreadful Hearts were last season. Did anyone watch the cup final or our our semi? Hibs and Aberdeen won't have all the upheaval next season and Dundee United will push on under Ross. They aren't stick ons for third in my eyes. They were just less consistently pish than the rest of us.

I’m in the same boat with a few regarding Hearts, they’re *****.

Don’t buy into the Gorgie globetrotter hype that the press have run up for them. They were very similar to us, best of the rest and no more than that.

Souttar & Simms are massive losses for them & I certainly wouldn’t be getting a stiffy over Forrest & Shankland either.

I’d be delighted with McGeady.

Less so with Fletcher purely due to the comments I read about him from Stoke fans about him not being mobile and looking his age.

I think we could accommodate one 36 year old in McGeady but him and Fletcher together wouldn’t really show the fast, energetic football we expect under Johnson.

I imagine he’s still brilliant at linking play and leading the like though and someone like Melkersen would learn loads from him.

Hope fans don’t overreact if United beat us at any point this season.

Ross will suit his team up similar to us where we’re reasonably solid and organised defensively and hit on the counter with pace.

With how we play under Johnson we’ll inevitably get done on the counter a few times.

[Tambo]

If we can get one really good year out of Mcgeagdy I'll be happy and then see how he feels the season after.

The experience off the pitch also should help the younger wingers.

[cameronw-hfc]

Remember how influential Holt was at Hibs. Some didn't rate his performances as high but he brought on a lot of the kids around him.

Even if Mcgeady isn't the player we hope on the pitch, his experience off the field with such a young squad will be invaluable.

Wonder what the Aberdeen fans are thinking about selling Ramsay to Liverpool and replacing him with a player who was on loan in the National League.

He's probably a very capable player.

I'm sure they expect to sign about 5 players this week before they fly out to their training camp.

Hope fans don’t overreact if United beat us at any point this season.

Ross will suit his team up similar to us where we’re reasonably solid and organised defensively and hit on the counter with pace.

With how we play under Johnson we’ll inevitably get done on the counter a few times.


Anyone who wanted Jack Ross sacked should keep very quiet if that happens.

We know what we will face. Dundee Utd will become stuffy and hard to beat.

[basehibby]

I reckon we have been signing a lot of potential good players. They need a bit of experience around them - but NOT over the hill. It's vital whoever signs is still up for the physical challenge of SPL football.

Aberdeen will push the boat out for a forward or a midfielder, they're not going to shell out a lot of money for a full-back.

[Unseen work]

Anyone know if it’s true Rocky has been offered to teams on loan?

[Haymaker]

:hyper

[Dmas]

Fletcher and McGeady?

Not sharing the enthusiasm for this window at all.

Not so excited by those myself, the transfer business so far I can get behind and I see the need for experience in the squad but I think those 2 are at the wrong stage of their careers, be 2 very decent wages to get them here surely we can get a couple guys around the 28 mark where we can get a good 3/4years out of for that money

I’d rather guarentee quality for two years than hope a player turnsout good for four years.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Jack Ross confirmed at United.

Hope he fails miserably.

Can you guarantee quality at 36 for an outfield player? the legs will give up at some stage for even the most dedicated Pro, Mcgeady loses a turn of pace for example we're left with a Jamie Murphy type issue.

surely there's enough scope to look at a player heading towards 30 to tell if he's worth signing, a performance history/data to look at unlike recent signings surely less of a gamble, I just feel the need to get experience shouldn't mean we go to the opposite extreme

McGeady has just left a club at a decent level and so has Fletcher, I think if fit both would bring a lot to the first team as well as helping our younger players

Ps dont even know if we are interested in Fletcher but if he is available then certainly worth a bash

[Northernhibee]

Hope he fails miserably.

Downright weird.

[Zambernardi1875]

Downright weird.

What he should’ve said was, he hopes Dundee Utd fail miserably and Jack Ross is a success, even though the team he wants to fail is managed by a manager he wants to be successful.

Is that right?

[J-C]

Downright weird.


Why?
He's not our manager anymore, I want every manager apart from ours to fail, that means we do well. I still can't get my head around this love in for Jack Ross, was he able to brainwash fans into adoring him?

[Mcbizz1998]

Hope he fails miserably.

I like him but have to agree. He is a manager of team who will most likely be a direct competitor this year.

Sorry Jack but hope it’s goes tits up.

[Since90+2]

Nothing against JR, I hope he does well enough to finish above Hearts and Aberdeen but below us. Dundee United are also a club I have no real dislike for.

It very petty to wish failure on a guy who was hugely successful for us. Hibs class and all that? Or do we just use that term when it suits us. I hope he comes 4th and we come 3rd. And if he is successful that will mean he’s taken points off of our main challengers.

Hugely successful ! I must have missed that bit. Watched some of the most boring football i ever saw at ER, out of his depth and should have been sacked after the worst cup final performance i have ever seen from a Hibs team.

hahahaha. You could be dreaming of cup finals for the next few years. A post so “out of its depth” it must be a parody post

Jeez that's a bit harsh.

The out of his depth comment is frankly ludicrous and, as for worst Cup Final ever, are you under 12?

Can't say for certain but I'd be amazed if he isn't being 9ffered around.

He may well have been but if it's from Twitter then who knows 😅

Ah, is that where its come from?? That laddie thinks he is hilarious posting made up stuff about the club all the time so might no be accurate.

Hope this time he is right however!

He’d been nothing but respectful to the club during and since his tenure, and overall did a good job for us in really difficult circumstances.

Similarly I hope both he and his Dundee United team do well and have success - but it goes without saying I hope Hibs have more.

Deserves the same respect he showed us.

The Gazzetta Dello Sport in Italy (pink sports paper that James Richardson used to read in chic outdoor cafe bars all through the 90s) is reporting that "Verona are on a fishing trip in Scotland, Doig arriving from Hibs"
