Seems to come in waves

More like a tsunami recently

Really good details article about Sosa.

Clips show similar to what I saw in the game the other night.

Can see exactly why the club like the look of him.

Certainly an interesting signing if he comes to Hibs, I hope he does

Would imagine that’s guesswork from their account saying we’re about to make an offer for Johnston instead of them actually being ‘ITK’

Account started in June probably set up about the time the schools were going on holiday 😃

[McD]

Different strokes.

The suggestion that players coming from abroad need to time to settle is what I’m challenging. Maybe in some cases but not all. That’s all!


but you said it’s never been an issue.

now you’re saying you didn’t mean never but just sometimes

[eastmainsmsh]

David Bates move off should we go for him 😂

Don’t joke about that! When I heard that the Sosa deal may be off, then seen the Bates deal was off I had the horrible thought that he may be the player that has recently became available!

[weecounty hibby]

David Bates move off should we go for him 😂

Probably due to someone from Legia actually watching him play. He is atrocious, in the mould of Oli Burke and Oli McBurnie. They must have some agents!!

[Springbank]

That half mil Aberdeen had agreed looked like the biggest daylight robbery by a selling team I'd ever seen

Really don't think loaning a player from Celtic or Rangers is how we are looking to operate now. Unless there was an option to buy as well. Seems like total guesswork.

I dinnae mind loaning players from them it it’ll benefit us in the short term.

I’m not sure Mikey Johnston is a good signing though. Think he’d be like Middleton was, doesn’t start often, takes up a squad place, stops us looking for someone else.

Middleton came to my mind too. He's never really impressed me on the few occasions I've seen him.

[Greencore]

Problem is if we loan a player and he becomes a big part of our play what do we do after the loan ? Loans, Naw, loans option to buy, yes.

[eastmainsmsh]

Bojang can play Wide Marc McNulty available ?

He impressed me when he played against us for St J.

Seems like a good move for the lad. At 19 he'll be getting good experience of Scottish football at a decent level in league one this year. Jack Brydon is there as well and at 17 he'll be getting great experience as well. Despite it not being particularly glamorous, this link up could prove to be the most productive one for us yet.

I think its a great idea this link up, I know the signing policy isn't popular with a lot but on the development front guys coming from abroad playing with guys of same age groups competitively whilst still being in the city could prove quite shrewd for us

I'm genuinely excited about our revolutionary approach to way forward. As a kid and an adult in Edinburgh I loved watching our reserves, youth teams and public trials trying to spot our next star. It's the thing I miss most being in London. The problem is will we give the Club sufficient time to develop this policy. Modern culture has no patience and an inability to focus beyond the next 30 seconds. Hopefully we'll give our club the time and the support to make the revolution happen!!

Think that point of time is key here …and not something is fans or the owner seems comfortable with .. it would be good to see them giving it a few years of maturing ….

[Bostonhibby]

David Bates move off should we go for him [emoji23]Norman Bates is a slightly better option, but a short term deal.

I know it's a different level of football, but I always wondered why clubs like PSV could do it but Scottish clubs didn't even try. They took Ronaldo when he was 17/18 and helped him to become one of the best ever. It's surely much easier to make it a success nowadays too.

No idea how all these signings will work out but credit to Ron , his much - critised son and the rest of our recruitment team for clearly making a huge effort to improve our team in the short and long term , widening the net and at the same time increasing contacts with clubs and agents all over the world . We all want to see better players in the team but I`m not seeing our rivals sign top quality players so our efforts to look for players all over the globe despite work permit problems deserve time and patience at least .

Absolutely. The guy I mentioned signed for a Croatian side instead. How often have Scottish sides played against European sides who don’t ignore the whole footballing world and wondered why can’t compete with them?

Scottish clubs, generally speaking have been far too insular for too long and it’s great to see us tapping into markets we should have been looking at for ages. Of course there’ll be some that don’t work out but there’ll be some real diamonds out there we’re now giving ourselves a chance of finding.

If we always do what we’ve always done we’ll always get what we’ve always got as the saying goes.

[IberianHibernian]

Have a look at Aberdeens signings, big hard cash down .I know their LC results have been better than ours and that they seem to have spent a lot after ( like us ) selling some of their better players . Don`t think it`s clear how much either club has spent on transfers , signing on fees and wages but if they`ve spent more it`s confirming what I said that Aberdeen and others like Hearts may be spending more than us but without any guarantee that signings will lead to success on pitch or for sell on . Main thing is that Aberdeen and us have made a lot of money by selling players we signed for next to nothing while Hearts with more money have still not signed any players who seem to strengthen their squad significantly while losig their best defender and their best player moves into his 40s .

[Since452]

Same old same old least were trying something different.

Exactly the point I was making earlier. We're the only club in our league trying something a bit different. You don't get anywhere failing then doing the same thing over and over again. Give me the Bodo Glimt/Midtjylland model all day long instead of the same old same old. If we fail we fail but at least we're thinking outside the box.

I think Aberdeen are not too far away from what we’re doing, we’re just doing it with a bit more conviction. That may not turn out to be a good thing but short term it makes it more exciting.

Some people want to go down the old English second third tier route plenty steady Eddie's there no one knows who we have signed who knows we just find a gem and to me that's exciting.

[IberianHibernian]

Some people want to go down the old English second third tier route plenty steady Eddie's there no one knows who we have signed who knows we just find a gem and to me that's exciting.We`ve signed loads of players from English clubs this century and not just from the lower divisions . Very few of them have made an impact despite coming with good CVs , often because of fitness problems . Ron Gordon mentioned it in his interview last week - limiting signings to England means accepting you`ll only get players English clubs don`t want and often paying way above a reasonable price for what Scottish clubs can pay with smaller population and limited TV income . A few years ago someone at Hibs told me we had an extensive group of scouts in Spain yet we have signed no players from Spanish clubs despite the obvious number of talented young players even in lower divisions often playing for clubs with limited financial clout . Will be the same in other countries . Of course Ron Gordon will have wanted better (A football mad Peruvian with Scottish roots who has been a business success in the USA is unlikely to understand why Hibs should depend on castaways from England when there are thousands of more talented players available elsewhere in the world ) . Without forgetting that plan for success also gives massive importance to developing young players including local players . We seem to have a good group of young players so hopefully they`ll have a big part to our success in coming years . Of course none of us know if current signing / development plan will be a success but what is clear is that club has a plan , it`s not scattergun ( far from it so has nothing to do with crazy spending done at other clubs in the last decade ) .

I see Bradley and Huage both started for Dundalk in a 4-0 win yesterday. Looks like they expect him to play most weeks if he went straight into the starting 11. Should be a good move for him

Good to see, hopefully they both kick on. Sounds like Bradley has done really well since going across.

Are they back in Scotland for training with Hibs or are they over there full time?

I don't know for a fact but i would have thought they'd be full time at Dundalk. It's a fare treck Edinburgh to Dundalk twice a week

[wandering_hibee]

Bradley started well but he has faded a bit. Been in and out of the starting 11.

He scored a goal and was man of the match in their last league game and even when not starting nearly always makes an appearance from the bench.

[BSEJVT]

Bradley started well but he has faded a bit. Been in and out of the starting 11.

He has also been struggling with injury which has restricted both his appearances and output

What an excellent post- novelty on here 👏

[The Modfather]

Great post we really need to be patient enough to give this new approach a chance to succeed. It inherently takes time for players to develop however support and patience is absolutely key.

We do need to be patient with the current approach, which is quite exciting IMO, but planning for tomorrow is the easy bit. As we all saw under Petrie, putting the foundations in for future success is all well and good, but the difficult bit is making sure it’s not at the expense of the current and short term future. Something the club have, and quite possibly still are this season, time will tell, been guilty of.

Although to caveat my point above. I don’t think the commercial projects or development signings have impacted the investment in the first team. We’ve still spent a lot more than we ever used to. We just don’t spend it well at all unfortunately.

Of course Ron Gordon will have wanted better (A football mad Peruvian with Scottish roots who has been a business success in the USA is unlikely to understand why Hibs should depend on castaways from England when there are thousands of more talented players available elsewhere in the world ) . Without forgetting that plan for success also gives massive importance to developing young players including local players . We seem to have a good group of young players so hopefully they`ll have a big part to our success in coming years . Of course none of us know if current signing / development plan will be a success but what is clear is that club has a plan , it`s not scattergun ( far from it so has nothing to do with crazy spending done at other clubs in the last decade ) .

Strange i always thought we were scouting specifically Portugal not Spain but I suppose scouting both wouldn't really be a stretch. We were quite regularly linked with players most of which came nothing apart from Ryan Gauld. After that can't remember seeing anything until this window.

[Since452]

Some goal by Levitt today. Would have loved us to sign him.

[Unseen work]

Owura Edwards who we were previously linked with was supposedly brilliant today for Ross County against Hearts.

Hopefully if he’s that good and we decided against it then we have a real quality winger coming in.

Guesswork or heard something? If you have loan or permanent?

I’m not ITK whatsoever but I just can’t see any possibility of him coming back, he’s on a fortune over there. You’d imagine he’d be seeing the contract out for all its worth.

A loan if his club being relegated means they’re struggling to pay the full wage so we’ll cover some of it?

Maybe he hasn't been receiving his salary? I read an article last week saying apparently that is common at football clubs in Saudi Arabia. I hope for his sake that's not the case.

[HibeeSS0762]

Hearing there’s a clause in martins contract that if they got relegated he could get transferred. He’s agreed terms to come back home. Unsure of the fee or loan👀

He's on 20k a week untaxed and moved for 3 million. No chance.

Do you think his club are just gonna let him go for nothing?

[Eyrie]

Surely it depends how much of that £3m they have actually paid us?

For the sake of illustration, if we've only received £1m then we could buy him back for £500k and agreeing to write off the unpaid £2m.

The bigger problem is his personal tax bill if he comes back this season. The accountants on here have said that would be substantial.

Firstly I can’t see it happening. But I actually see the fee being more of a problem than what he’d be getting paid. Even with the tax implications, he’ll have made enough in his 6 months there to be mortgage free. With his Mrs having another bairn this summer, I’m not sure how appealing the Saudi second division will be, even for the cash.

[Aldo]

From earlier posts there are suggestions that the club have not been paying the players?

So maybe they are happy to let players go especially after relegation??

We don’t know how the fee has or us being paid? Maybe instalments etc?

So maybe there is a chance they’d let him go if all parties are in agreement?

Time will tell I suppose!

l, for one, would be happy if we splashed £1-1.5M on Boyle to bring him back, if that included a major signing on fee to cover his tax liability.

There are a number of rumours circulating in regard to the situation, ‘he’s not been paid recently’, ‘we’ve not been paid recently’ and ‘he’s been asked to take a 50% paycut due to the clubs relegation’.

Any of these could be true or all could be false… who knows?

But Ron Gordon is quoted to have said that Martin has a contract issue that we cannot get involved with right now, which would suggest one of the rumours affecting him directly.

Where there’s smoke there’s fire as they say. I would assume the club are doing a lot, within reason, to try and get him back…. But only time will tell.

We will know in the next 30 days.

I saw that thing a few weeks ago where UEFA were warning players about not going to Saudi, Turkey and a couple of other places as wages may not be paid or not paid in full but hadn't heard anything about that club specifically or Boyle.

I did read some **** about the club appealing relegation because the team who stayed up knew there score in advance or something which made it unfair or somin like that, that sounds sketchy on its own.

Still never thought much about it as I didn't know Ron had mentioned he's having an issue with his contract that we can't get involved in right now.

Hopefully it's a case of he's been paid what he should have so far but they're trying to make them take **** wages next season due to relegation or something because if not that would be brutal going out there playing for half a season and not receiving the money he should have received so far.

Hope it's tbe latter and reason Ron says he can't speak about it is Boyle and his legal team or something and they can't talk about it while ongoing.

If even Rons mentioned it which I hadn't heard about there must be something serious going on with it. Hope he's no teasing us.

Could be our De Jong to Man Utd Saga except the player actually does love this club.

I'm no getting my hopes up but if he comes back it will lift morale for not just the fans, but the players etc too. Everyone connected with the club. Would cost us a lot of money like but didn't they say we were at a profit even before we sold Boyle, then We've just sold Doig. Wonder what kind of wages we'd have to pay to get him to come back to us.

Bear in mind though his club have been relegated and there is chat about players not getting paid.

It's one thing to move out there for mega bucks but not if you are away from your family and not actually earning. We all know he's not moved out there for the weather or the culture, it's the cash. And if that's not happening or he'd being mucked around then I'd have every sympathy with him bolting.

[neil7908]

Amazing news. I never thought it was possible but maybe we'll see some of this Doig money getting used. That would be a real statement of intent from the club.

[J-C]

I think the money was too good to turn down by Boyle but the reality of playing over there and the hassle of getting paid etc. is maybe just too much. Not many European players go there to play, vastly different culture with zero friends and very little family connection, possibly all this is just too much for Boyle to take for his own happiness.

Ok sorry, maybe I was being a bit obtuse - not intentional. I’m not ITK in anyway at all.

I just wouldn’t find it particularly surprising if Boyle came back, and certainly not astounding. He is away from his pregnant wife and child, playing for a nothing club who have now been relegated when he is trying to secure at place at the World Cup. If there is a clause in the contract allowing him to leave in the event of relegation, which wouldn’t surprise me, then he will be very likely to come back here. I always thought it was a bizarre move for him given his personal circumstances and I think he will be back here sooner rather than later.

I see what your comments meant now, it looked like you weren't bothered about it.

I too wonder if there's a clause or two in his contract that allows for a termination of his contract, maybe relegation or possibly a clause to allow him to leave due to not settling, it was a move that had it negativities, money isn't everything.

There was a well known poster on here who has got a few transfer stories right since LJ arrived saying in the predictions thread recently he thought Boyle would be Hibs player of year…

Reported on Facebook. On Boyle a fan had met him at Holywood studio a few days ago and he said Hibs had not been paid at all. Another fan met him and he said the situation in Saudi was complicated. Tax wise I think he would be liable on all earnings as he will not lived abroad for a full tax year. Anyway hope he comes back.

Absolutely nothing in his career suggests a £1m player but you never know I suppose.

How long until the people who were outraged about being linked with him are outraged that we lost out on him?

Strange decision to go to Russia with current affairs… fair enough.

Is that one of these South American deals where the player is owned by an agent?

Perhaps why the deal fell through with us as part-ownership is not permitted here.

My Jambo mate just told me they've agreed to buy a Japanese player for 1 million quid. Biggest outlay for a player in their history. He also wore a Russian hat when Romanov was there so make of that what you will.They might well sign the player but what I'm making of it is yer pals a spoon.

If this Sosa lad is choosing to sign for Moscow, he obviously has zero morals. Better off without him

[Springbank]

If we were spending £1m of benefactor money on a lad who failed to set the Heather alight at lower level Belgian & Portugese teams I'd be very nervous

If it ends up we sign Martin Boyle & they blow £1m to sign Woo, I'll be a very Happy Hibee

Player of the year incoming.

[Torto7]

The Jambo journalist isn't really saying much with that just that he'd be open to returning.

[SMAXXA]

Few things to sort out that are pretty major in the grand scheme of things for the deal to happen I believe but where there’s a will on both sides which there is over to the players club to be happy with the make up of his exit

[Unseen work]

I wonder how much we’ve actually received for Boyle

To sell him X amount and get him back 8 months later with a big profit would be unbelievable business

That could be why we are in box seat to get him back. If his club are taking a hit financially and they still have to pay us then it might suit them just to call it quits?

Depends on his club, they can make it easy for everyone or be very difficult.

It’s a bit of a funny one. 3 million is a lot of money but even to pay it in instalments you’d imagine we’d still have received a fair bit by now? Also need to factor in losing him was probably the difference in making top 6 or not which cost us money.

If we’ve received hardly anything I would be surprised and you’d hope the club get what they’re due as if not it’s a bit of a **** take

I think the folk at the club are very savvy with transfers now though so I’m feeling confident

Its just a feeling that i get that the S A team havent paid in full, now relegated and thinking that they could call it quits. MB returns to us.

We spent money in the window but always got the feeling we didnt have the 3 million fee from the transfer actually in the bank. Maybe im totally wrong.....who knows.

[JamesHFC]

In an interview with Hibs TV, he said: "Hopefully in the future I can return one day and repay them once again. It's a new adventure for me. I'm certainly looking forward to it. But I'm hoping that if I do come back I've still got a lot to give.

"If I'm welcomed back with open arms, there's no club in Scotland I'd rather be at. You see players leaving and coming back a lot these days, so if there's anything in the pipeline, it's one I'd definitely not turn my nose up."

[Unseen work]

Cmon Hibs let’s get Boyle, Kirk and a centre half.

Maybe a centre mid too.

Just a tad greedy 😅

Don’t see any reason why he would want to spread some positive news about us in the week leading up to a derby. It’s just him simply trying to break the news first before others.

Didn't the club say we received the majority of the fee when he was sold. Maloney was talking about spending some of it.

The former Wimbledon player.

According to somebody in a Hibs Facebook who met Boyle at the Holywood station, the club had received nothing yet. Another member was told on meeting Boyle that his situation in Saudi was complicated.
