Summer 2022-23 transfer thread

[04Sauzee]

If Utd offer us 200k and an English team 100k, then he goes on to score 15-20 goals and help them to 3/4/5 in the league at our expense that will cost us a lot more than the difference in his initial fee.

If is used alot in that sentence though.

[Mcbizz1998]

Love this place, posters demanding a clear out after the season ends, then when we release players we complain that we shouldnt be letting players go.....?

A clear out doesn’t mean you get rid of every single player. You can want a clear out and also want certain players to remain at the club.

[Big_Franck]

I think that's because of a complete lack of faith in the recruitment team to get the replacements right.

They've not got a great track record and with the derby early in the season they need to start making real progress and soon.

[CapitalGreen]

Allowing Doidge to move to United where Ross now is is just a recipe for disaster.

He should be given a chance to prove he is fit and back to his best - if not then sell down south.

What were the last 6 months if not a chance to prove he is fit?

[Hibernian Verse]

Yes, it's a hypothetical situation. Short-termism will get us nowhere.

[Ronniekirk]

Allowing Doidge to move to United where Ross now is is just a recipe for disaster.

He has said his preference is to stay in Scotland so it’s a no brainer for him to move to United to link up with Ross who he trusts and got the best out of him and knew how to utilise him

[Iain G]

Spot on

For me the squad is still to heavy off the imposters from the 12 months.

But it’s pre season so all is forgiven and false hope instilled

Of all the regular hyperbole used on here the term imposters is the one that I really hate the most, these players may not have been as good as we hoped but they are still humans just trying to do their job as best as they can, and it's pretty derogatory toward them.

[bingo70]

No, just the under performing ones. Which Doidge has been.

[Unseen work]

Clearly the medical experts/sports scientists at Hibs will know a lot more than me but I struggle to believe Doidge should have been back so early.

I know a couple of folk that have suffered a similar injury at it effected them for a lengthy period, from an injury point of view and trusting it/feeling properly mobile again.

I don’t think this is an injury based decision though and more likely not an LJ type of player and on a big wage.

Oh but that obvious logic doesn't suit the narrative. Fellow Hibs fans are unbeleivable don't you know... this place!

Yes, I want a clear out - but if okay with some posters, not Porteous or Doig for me, not Nisbet or Doidge.

As someone else said - the underperformers. Though some with mitigating circumstances I would personally keep - & yes Doidge underperformed, so did Melkerson & Nisbet btw.

We are all allowed our own opinion on individual players - no need for the patronising posts about that being unbeleivable and what a clear out means

So you want all but 4 players released, yeh thats logic right enough but not a clear out apparently???. Why dont we just keep everyone and that will keep us all happy, because you know, we are allowed to have opinions. The club underperformed last year and the new manager wants a new start id imagine. Very few players could actually make an argument that they should be kept after last year, im sure you would agree with that? If LJ wants another striker instead of Doidge then im good with that.

Don't know where to start with how @rsey a post that is.

I never said I wanted all but 4 players released. I was giving examples of some of the better players I would keep - in my opinion.. which yes, like everyone else I'm allowed. There's obviously others I would keep.

I never said I didn't want us to have a clear out either. We should, last season warranted it. Personally Doidge wouldn't be on my hit list whilst others would be.

No idea what you are on about 'we should just keep everyone and that will make everyone happy', where does that comment fit in to anything been said by anyone!

The last part of your post I agree with. The club underperformed last year and changes are needed. I'm hoping - like everyone else - Johnson brings in better and we have a better season.

Also dont forget he had covid, we still dont understand the long term effects for joe public, never mind top sportsmen/women.

Maybe so but then who’s to say it won’t still effect him next season too? He had Covid a long time ago, if it was still affecting him in May, every chance it could still be affecting him in July.

If im LJ that’s a concern for me and another reason to get him off the wage bill.

[HIBS NUTS]

The signings so far are just repeating the january transfer window disaster,
Something has to change soon, because we started with a poor pool of players, and so far, it’s not improved greatly .

No they’re not, they’re completely different players and people we’ve signed.

[Mr. Wonderful]

If he scores 15-20 goals we were fools for selling him in the first place.

He'll score goals, we need to accept that. What we can do is find someone who brings more when the goals aren't coming to help others score. We were toothless last season and nobody can be surprised we're having a forward line upheaval

[Since452]

I'd like to keep Doidge. I'd also have liked to keep Paul McGinn but if the manager has decided that they aren't for him then i'm fully behind him. In my opinion we have a good manager and he clearly has his own ideas and wants his own players. I'm happy to trust him to get on with it.

[Fergus52]

Now I am concerned. Kenneh is a long way from the finished item.

You have no idea if this is the case or not.

If you mean in terms of reaching his full potential then he probably is, but if his finished item is well above the level of our league then at his current ability he could be more than good enough to be starting each week for us.

We won't know til we see him play but if Johnson is excited by him that's good enough for me to give the benefit of doubt for now.

[LaMotta]

No, just the under performing ones. Which Doidge has been.

If we cleared out all the under performing players from last season we'd only be left with a couple of players.

[Mcbizz1998]

If someone told me last season we would clear out McGinn and Doidge (even Macey) before some of the utter pish still at the club then I wouldn’t have believed you.

It’s not that easy just to clear contracted players out. I think the way we’re going about that is one of the positives of the window.

Get Macey out but only once we’ve signed another keeper (who is an upgrade). Get McGinn out but only once we’ve signed another right back (who has been playing well at a level where rivals have picked good players up from lately).

We don’t seem to be for hanging in to folk just because we think ‘they’ll do a job’ which has been a problem for me in the past. Whether we get the incoming part right is a different question but no issues with any of the players we’ve lost to this summer.

We sold boyle, got loads of unproven lads in, which did not improve the squad, we were awful.
We have signed young guys again unproven, the same as January.
We have lost out on clarke, who was good, and have signed rocky, who is murder.
The only upgrade for sure is Marshall.
Let’s hope there are some decent players coming iin.
Our fans has been incredible, to have sold many Season Tickets sold after last year is absolutely brilliant.

You've pointed out that a few of the signings are unproven...how about we let them have a few games to prove themselves before we decide if they are capable or not?

[allezsauzee]

I like Doidge but perhaps the manager doesn't see him as fitting well into our style of play? In which case it makes sense for both club and player to allow him to find another club. With the obvious exception of McGeady (hopefully!) our other signings are young and look bigger than your average Hibs player so perhaps pace and power are going to have more of an emphasis in our set up.

[tonyrougier123]

Well Lee Johnson certainly knows what he doesn’t want.
But does the buck stop with him on these players being told they can find new clubs?
Mcginn and doidge solid hard working pros.
The right back slot or wing back has covered McGinns release so hard to argue there,the young Aussie is an exciting prospect I feel.
So as hard as moving Paul on is it’s explainable.

Bojang comes in a complete unknown for supporters,whilst doidge we know what we are getting.
I still feel doidgey has plenty to offer assuming he got a good pre season under his belt and the set up was a bit better, doidge for me is an asset to the team and knowledgeable and a good age also.

Ripping that up to bring in an unknown is bold some might say silly.

Loads of areas of the pitch still needing additional recruits of a certain standard, the window for me and in my opinion has been poor again so far.

The mcgeady chase for me is also a concern,I couldn’t give a hoot if he comes in at all never mind in time for portugal.

I hope I’m wrong about Aiden mcgeady but I just don’t get it.I hope he’s not costing much in wages that’s for sure.

Marshall? well one goalie in 2 out.money gained from that so again let’s hope it’s reinvested for the first team.

Regardless of what some supporters think long way short of being a team on the front foot.

Tavares will get bums off seats and looks a player,initially I thought might be too greedy but on reflection I think I was just annoyed that day we were linked and priced out of a move for the Pompey player who for me would’ve been a good addition.

Still plenty time for the window but we have a challenging start and I’d like us to be well on the ball time they come visiting early august!

You might need to make up your mind - it wasnt that long ago that you were "pleasantly surprised" that Hibs had such a young squad.

Hibs have done a fair bit of business already removing players (in fact, I believe that we have signed and removed the most players of any club in the Premiership) and from what the manager said are clearly going to sign more experience.

There are 5 weeks until the first league game, I think we have plenty of time to improve the squad.

We are only a week into the transfer window and some players are still on holiday. What I will say is that LJ knows what he wants, who he wants and the type of players he wants.

I personally don’t think Bojang is a replacement for Doidge or Nisbet however if LJ wants the pkayer then so be it!

As a squad we need different types of players and players that can impact from bench etc. compliment each other.

I’m more than certain we will see other strikers. O and Melkersen is a striker so Bojang isn’t the only fit striker

But not with Bojang. If the club lets Doidge leave, it'll be because they think they can replace him with better. LJ said two days ago that a "6ft, rapid" striker was coming in, so it's hardly a great leap to think that's Doidge's replacement.

There's no danger the club have gone "right, Bojang's in the door, don't need Doidge anymore."

Popped in to see what’s what and I see this thread is going well :faf:

I know nothing about Bojang, but I understand he’s on a season loan so assume he will be expected to play regularly. If we get another striker too plus McGeady we will have plenty of options up front even if Nisbet is many months from full fitness.

My take on bojangs loan is that it’s more of an extended trial than a loan. We’ve said we want him with us so we can take a closer look at him. That doesn’t strike me as someone that’s expecting guaranteed game time.

And a reminder of Hearts fans opinions of McGeady after they played Sunderland last summer.


Sunderland played Hearts in a preseason friendly at Tynecastle 10 months ago. Lee Johnson was manager and they ran out 2-0 winners with McGeady scoring both goals. Below is a selection of comments post-match from the Kickback match thread.

”McGeady has still got it…”

“McGeady still nippy as always”

“He would still piss it up here.”

“walk into any SPFL team outwith the OF”

A few folk going nuts today.

[Since452]

Unfortunately that seems exactly the profile of player that we have signed since Ian Gordon became head of recruitment. It wouldn't surprise me if we signed him.

We'll only sign him if LJ wants him.

[MWHIBBIES]

People moaning about losing Doidge, granted he was just back from an injury but he was terrible last season.

Another one who’s slated when he’s here for all his misses, then when the manager wants rid he’s suddenly Benzima!

Maybe those aren't the same people doing those things? Certainly not myself.

He struggled yes. He played poorly in a system that didn't suit him. That doesn't mean he'll be poor next season.

It's Benzema btw

[HIBS NUTS]

You might need to make up your mind - it wasnt that long ago that you were "pleasantly surprised" that Hibs had such a young squad.

Hibs have done a fair bit of business already removing players (in fact, I believe that we have signed and removed the most players of any club in the Premiership) and from what the manager said are clearly going to sign more experience.

There are 5 weeks until the first league game, I think we have plenty of time to improve the squad.
As you have obviously been through my previous posts, you would have seen that i posted, the january transfer window was an absolute mess.
I was slated for weeks, about being a jambo, however a month later everyone was repeating what i already said in the first place.
Listen i want hibs to have a great season, so far i’m not convinced we will.
i hope im wrong this time .
i’m away for a game of golf.

[eastmainsmsh]

Seen Mcgeady in Ormiston Coop we bumped in to each other then he did his wee jig to the left and dropped the shoulder and away he went lol

[Since452]

If we sign McGeady then it says a lot about LJ. McGeady is a notoriously difficult guy to please and is a loud voice in the dressing room. If he signs for Johnson having worked with him before then he obviously rates him as a manager. That's a good sign.

We hopefully all want Hibs to have a great season.

I do think there is a lot of commentary about the January transfer window being terrible. Yes they did not sign players/positions required at the time but that is not the same as saying the players signed in the window were not or will not be good for Hibs. I think a lot remain unproven as opposed to being written off but they were not the solution to the problem that was being faced in Jan and for the second half of the season.

I think we all agree we still need some positions filled as well as getting some experience into the squad but we are still a week away from July - start to judge the squad once we are in mid July.

[Stoney Hibee]

Saw Dylan McGeough training on his own at Hazelhead Park in Aberdeen this morning, i would have him back, he still only 29.

[Mcbizz1998]

As another poster pointed out we are very focussed on new signings, and I think that’s important but if LJ is a decent manager he should be getting a tune out of some of the Maloney signings. Fingers crossed he can.

[Percy Vere]

Popped in to see what’s what and I see this thread is going well :faf:

I know nothing about Bojang, but I understand he’s on a season loan so assume he will be expected to play regularly. If we get another striker too plus McGeady we will have plenty of options up front even if Nisbet is many months from full fitness.

It’s a laugh a minute here mate

What a terrible career choice that turned out to be. He started 33/38 (87%) of league games for us in 17/18 and was rewarded with a call up to the Scotland team. In the 4 years since then he’s started just 40/157 league games (25%) and the closest he’ll likely get to Hampden is joining Queens Park.

Gone are the days of a photograph of a player with a scarf above his head so I reckon the media are currently hard at work coming up with a quirky way of announcing the signings. Hibs tv interviews done as well before the announcements.

Doidge ,had to go really . Great guy but just not good enough unfortunately. All the best Christian.

He's not gone anywhere yet and what exactly was he not good enough for? Certainly wasn't Hibs because he was one of our best players for a long time and helped take us to 3rd and multiple semis and finals. Scored in 2 semi finals, against Rangers, Hearts, Aberdeen. Just not true to say he wasn't good enough. Without his injury he'd have been a key player last season as he started it very well.

All true, but even you must admit he looked badly out of sorts when he returned to the team and until the end of the season.

Or maybe you won’t.

As ever, it’s better to acknowledge that other posters aren’t entirely wrong and try to claim you are entirely correct.

Be harsh to say he wasn't good enough for Hibs, but maybe he isn't any more. Injuries change players. Happens all the time and watching him play for us in the last few games he got it was like watching a different player.

If he's over the injuries and back to himself then he should be going absolutely nowhere. Especially not to a rival in the league.

That's fine. But try to read all of my posts on the subject before wading in. I've already said he was poor, but think if was to do with injury and a dreadful manager in Maloney as much as poor form.

I’m not saying these transfers are terrible, i’m saying many of the players so far look unproven, therefor i’m concerned.
A lot of the january transfers also followed this pattern.
Apparently LG is involved in the signing process, so let’s hope he’s recruited well.

[CapitalGreen]

He had 6 months to return to form since his injury, twice the length of time he was actually out injured - how long would you suggest is acceptable to allow for a return to form?

[The Modfather]

That's all true but do you write a guy off after an injury and some poor form? I think we've given worse players more time.

Time moves on. He’s one of a number of players that hasn’t contributed enough in recent times, and part of the reason we find ourselves where we are. Gogic was also a regular starter in the team that finished 3rd but it was still the right decision to move him on.

Doidge is a decent player. Has had spells being very good, and other spells not so good. We’ve lost our main attacking threat in Boyle and need to compensate all over the team now. I’m not sure Doidge’s diminishing goals return in the league, 13, 7 & 2, while acknowledging he can and has contributed more than just goals, is enough for what we need now we are a team without a game changer in Boyle.

I think it will be a mobile one able to interchange ie play either side and through the middle.

Let’s hope there’s more good news on that front over the next day or so!

I can see mcgeady playing that role at times, Kyle Magennis hopefully be raring to go too!

Happy with that signing should still rip up the league you’d think

One year deal.
Hopefullly we’ll all be shouting for another year.

Yup. Signing has come at least 2-3 years later for me but delighted if I'm clamouring for it to be extended come 2023

Can’t decide what to make of this.

Hated that interview he did.

Thought he was an absolutely immense footballer back in the day and - when fit - has made a very good contribution at Sunderland.

There’s a bit of me has always seen him as trouble but I also think we need some stronger characters about the place and he is certainly that.

It could be an inspired bit of business, it could be a disaster.

As of now he’s a Hibs player though, and a very talented one at that, so he’ll get my full support.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Arsenal put in 2nd bid of £47m + £12m add-ons for Raphinha at Leeds, Raphinha must surely realise by now Barca just don't have the £60m for him


especially when they owe £100m in transfer fees already

What interview?

[CapitalGreen]

The recent interview where he rightly called out opposition fans who abused him for choosing to play for Ireland.

[Brightside]

He’s 36 why would you want a 2 year deal? It’s not something we are going to make money on.

Oh. Thought there was something juicier than that, disappointed.

I won’t hold it against him but it was really frustrating as a Scotland fan at the time.

[Seanm1875]

Reckon Korey Smith could be a realistic option for midfield? worked with LJ for a few years and is now a free agent. Not sure if he’s been mentioned.

Delighted with McGeady signing.

Top player and plenty left in him.

Nowhere near as bad an influence in the dressing room as made out by some, I think the only real issue has been with Strachan and when you hear McGeady speak about it in the open goal interviews it’s more than reasonable why he wasn’t best pleased (albeit that’s one side of the story)

Of course, there is absolutely nothing wrong with being disappointed that a good eligible player won’t be playing for your nation. It’s absolutely wrong to wrong to abuse that player for choosing not to play for your nation.

Am I the only one that read that as Ally McCoist…he loves a ‘tell you what’ at the start of a sentence [emoji1787]

Let’s hope Aiden still has the fitness to play another year. If he has then this should be a quality signing that will give the young guys critical time to get up to speed and prove they can indeed develop as well as give us some badly missing guile.

[HendoDelivered]

2 strikers, attacking mid, SJM/Dylan type central midfielder, 2 CB’s next please 😎

[SHODAN]

Comes across well in the interview and sounds happy to be here. Good stuff. Next!

[cameronw-hfc]

Magennis is a completely different type of player. More of an all action player that gets into the box from midfield. More dynamic but I hope we don't have fans expecting him to turn into a Scott Allan like provider. I don't think that's where he's best. Let him get higher up the pitch he'll cause issues in and around the box and pressing higher up.

[Hibs90]

McGeady been having a read of Hibs wikipedia page going by his interview :greengrin

Shambles.

You only get a green and white pen if it’s more than a one year deal. Standard football contract signing protocol.

[Zambernardi1875]

I was a bit sceptical with lee Johnson and the players in so far smelt a tad like the fenlon scattergun signings but with mcgeady with Marshall changes this. The demands and standards he will set and quality with free kicks corners and he obviously has a high opinion on Johnson too.

Still think Scott Allan would’ve been worth keeping with mcgeady though

[04Sauzee]

Really keen to find out who this new forward is going to be. Not even a hint of a rumour anywhere.

There has been on the PM board. Rumour of a French striker playing in Switzerland. Someone quoted LJ saying at the recent Q&A that the player will not be someone we have likely heard of but has a decent pedigree and is 6ft with pace. Most likely suggestions from the PM board were:

Yanis Lahiouel - 27 year old French striker, contract expiring. Has 92 goal contributions in 148 starts (190 apps) mostly in the Swiss second tier.

Zachary Hadji - 25 year old French striker, under contract so would require a fee. 64 goal contributions in 58 career starts (107 apps), mostly in Luxembourg but now in Swiss 2nd tier. Son of Mustapha Hadji and nephew of Youssef Hadji - Moroccan football legends.

Swiss second tier is really poor level of football, even the lower part of their top tier is pretty grim. I hope if it’s a marquee signing it’s neither of these players.

I’ve no idea if either of these 2 would be good enough for us but surely you judge a player on their individual ability rather than what league they come from. You could reel off hundreds of players who have played well in our league who are some point will have played in a league that is probably deemed not to be very good.

[CapitalGreen]

He didn’t say he hated anyone, he said he was frustrated that McGeady wouldn’t be playing for Scotland. I am frustrated Boyle doesn’t play for Scotland, whoever was manager previously dropped the ball not calling him up when we had the chance.
