Summer 2022-23 transfer thread

[JamesHFC]

Hearts fans think they’re signing Nouble

Completely wide of the mark. They have offered Zander Clark a contract though.

[Paulie Walnuts]

There is no deal because the the "selling " club doesn't have an agreement with their employee. The "buying" club doesn't have an agreement the potentual employee. The Agent doesnt have agreement from the client.

Yes, that’s the other deals to be made before the transfer can be completed.

The deal between the two clubs is still a deal though, much like I can make a deal with my mate that if Hibs win the Scottish Cup I’ll go on a mad bender with him. There’s still other parts to fall into place before that happens, but me and him still have a deal.

[Saint Hibee]

He is rubbish

I don’t think he’s rubbish. I don’t think he’s great either, but not rubbish.

They must be worried about Gordon’s fitness

Please let this be true. Hopefully they sign Omeonga as well.

Meaning of the word (noun) deal
an agreement entered into by two or more parties for their mutual benefit, especially in a business or political context:

[JamesHFC]

He's back for tomorrow but I don't think he's 100%.

[JamesHFC]

Haven't seen anything confirmed?

[JimBHibees]

Haven't seen anything confirmed?

Just saw him linked a while back assumed he had signed but doesn't sound like it.

[J-C]

There is no deal if Doidge says no. He is a contracted employee not a slave to be traded.


He knows the manager and club don't want him, it may come that he won't even make the bench after the window, is that what he wants to do just stagnate and take a wage off the club.

[raeburnhibs]

That hardly scores any goals. He is the perfect Jambo striker actually.

except against us, obvs

[Billy Whizz]

Maybe he does. He was loved and offered a contract extension last year, until June 2024. He’s on his 4th permanent manager since he joined, can’t be all his fault

That decision, probably by Ross was ludicrous considering his injury was fairly serious at the time, it's now came back to haunt us as we are struggling to get him off the books.

No names unfortunately, just heard that we are close to bringing in someone which should be concluded over the weekend. Will share a name if I get it.

Why not. The club weren't forced to offer him that contract, he's financially secure and he has no guarantees a forced move is in his best interests. I'd sit tight in those circumstances.

My last manager didn't want me but I didn't want to leave and she couldn't make me and because I knew her replacement would be along shortly all I had to do was sit tight. Her manager changed and she found out the reality of a probationary period vs a confirmed contracted post. Doige and Hibs now in same position


Ps I succeeded her in the role🙂.

[Just_Jimmy]

Good. He’s a typical Hertz striker. Big, awkward, cumbersome and p!shAnd loves a goal against Hibs no doubt.

Presumably you were performing well in your role though, Doidge isn’t and hasn’t been for over a year.

[Allant1981]

I don’t think he’s rubbish. I don’t think he’s great either, but not rubbish.

Totally your opinion, i think he is rank, only just into double figures despite playing most of his career at a very low level suggests he isnt very good, id be raging if we were signing players of that calibre

[MWHIBBIES]

Player leaves for better things = gets stick


Player stays and fights for his place = gets stick.

He isn't "taking a wage". He's contracted to train and play. He's doing his job. Contracts aren't void because he's lost form. Should be applauded for his attitude.

[Since90+2]

Doidge has no obligation to leave, we've been given him a contract and the club will honour it.

That doesn't change the fact he's been poor and has been for a good while.

I agree with you on the contract point. At the same time you've been telling us he's a good option and is our best striker for a good while. That is clearly wrong.

[brog]

That decision, probably by Ross was ludicrous considering his injury was fairly serious at the time, it's now came back to haunt us as we are struggling to get him off the books.

I really don't think any blame can be attached to Hibs. It appeared CD was fully fit when he signed his new deal, he came on as a sub in our LC semi win only 3 days later. No one could foresee his lack of form 9 months later.

[MWHIBBIES]

I agree with you on the contract point. At the same time you've been telling us he's a good option and is our best striker for a good while. That is clearly wrong.

My opinion on his ability isn't relevant here. No one's is really. It doesn't matter. It's about his contract and him wanting to stay.

Needless to say, you had the last laugh.

[Iain G]

Also worth pointing out that he is getting a good amount of game time for a manager people are stating doesnt want him here!? Could easily have put on Tavares or Bojang ahead of him but he has gone to Doidge from his bench to change the game

Maybe just putting him in the shop window.

[Iain G]

Maybe just putting him in the shop window.

When the manager supposedly doesn't rate him? Can't see LJ doing that instead of picking a player he does rate? Risky...

[Mcbizz1998]

Maybe just putting him in the shop window.

So our manager is bringing on a player he doesn’t rate and wants rid of, when we are chasing games so he can get other clubs interested in the player he thinks isn’t any good?

I would find that pretty surprising and concerning.

[WhileTheChief..]

A week left to get a couple in and release a few probably.

Could be an exciting deadline day for a change.

Doidges form is terrible. If anything we’d be trying to hide it and avoid putting him on.

maybe but I’d counter to at argument with probably 90%+ fans banging on about getting him signed up on a new deal at that point, it’s football no guarantees

Think it might too.Though abit worried if we don't shift a few out where does it leave us? Would be surprised if we release any to be honest .Mckirdy rumour going about kinda surprised with this if true as I really thought attacking midfielder and centre half would be top of the list!

Didn't mean Mckirdy was our top priority ,what I meant was Johnson apparently said something like 3 or 4 out and two in . Is a striker more important than midfielder and defender if only two coming in? Which would leave one ! Suppose it depends on who leaves too!

Interesting reading

I was delighted when he signed a new contract and made a lot of sense at the time

Unfortunately looks a shadow of the player he did then, albeit a very bad injury and covid certainly won’t have helped

[GloryGlory]

Now that The Rangers have qualified for the CL group stages, I wonder if the potential solidarity payment we and others will receive will impact our actions in the last week of the window. I've seen figures between £200-£400k quoted as the potential payment.

Not even a year ago that.

The guy has had 2 lengthy injuries and started 6 league games. They weren't career enders. They were the types of injuries pretty much everyone comes back from. He's only just turned 30 today.

I'm still convinced that if he gets a run of games we'll see the player we saw pre-injury.

How long a run exactly? He’s played in all 8 of our matches this season averaging 62 minutes per match.

[500miles]

Well he's got 3 goals and an assist. A goal every 160 odd minutes.

He's not started more than 3 in a row since he's been back. I dunno 6 or 7 games? He's not started in the league all season.

[Paulie Walnuts]

He's not started more than 3 in a row since he's been back. I dunno 6 or 7 games? He's not started in the league all season.

Do all players deserve 6 or 7 starts in a row to prove themselves?

It gets suggested all the time but the reality is we can’t afford to give everybody 6 or 7 starts in a row when their form is dreadful.

Doidge has had plenty opportunity to show what he can do and he’s been largely terrible.

I hope you are correct but I wonder what you are seeing to back up your conviction?

I get there is fit and match fit, but I can't honestly see his match fitness improving much further.

He was never the quickest but is now painfully slow.

He used to be a real menace to defenders but he is peripheral to the game now for the most part.

His link-up and hold-up play are for the most part non-existent.

At whatever level we have all played at there comes a point in our journey where we can no longer either physically or mentally or both do the hard yards required to succeed.

His loss of the guy for Livi's 2nd goal looked to me a clear example of this being the case, he would never have allowed that before.

Folk are creaming themselves over his lay back to Campbell, but for the most part, Clyde excepted, that has been his singular contribution over all these games.

Right now he is a hundred miles away from what we require and there is not even a sliver of evidence to suggest he is on the road back to his past achievements.

We are stuck with him though unless he finds another option he finds acceptable and I have no problem with that as that is the nature of a contract.

I would love him to prove me wrong as at his best he is a real asset, my fear is after his injuries and Covid he has reached a point in his career journey where this is as good as it gets and he has after an inauspicious start to his career gotten far further than he hoped and is happy with his lot and happy to see his contract out.

Apart from the assist for Josh's injury time goal against the "The". Also how many goals have our other forward players scored of late? We should maybe be looking at the service providers to up there game. Just saying.

Yup, he’s had one or two moments. But that’s one or two moments in about 9 months with one of those moments being a hatrick against a league one team.

It’s not been anywhere near enough.

I do think there’s merit in there being an issue with the service the forwards are getting but Doidge still has to offer so much more. And he can’t be given a run of starts for nearly 20% of a season just to see if he can start performing.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

I'm a bit surprised we're still in the market tbh - I'm glad we are, just to clarify

We've signed almost double figures, most if which are seen as first team starters and coming with a transfer fee

I think it shows how much RG has backed LJ in this window and excites me to see where we might be in 18 months

You need to perform at a level that makes the manager pick you, either from showing it in training, or when on the park however long you get.

He's been pretty poor every time he's played or come on as sub. Managers get sacked very quickly these days, even ones with credit in the bank.

I cant see a manager picking a player who's not performing for as long as he has, in the hope that he might return to form he showed such a long time ago.

And i was happy he signed his current contract.

Doidge in the league games has been like playing with 10 men . Harsh but unfortunately true .

I always try to be balanced. If doidge was currently playing for a Motherwell, Kilmarnock etc on the same form and same goals, same assists, same minutes.

Would I be wanting hibs to try and sign him

Youane is an entirely different scenario, new to the league and already made two assists and numerous shots on goal.

He is fast and direct, doidge has a hatrick against Clyde and an assist from weekend

Fouls a lot, one paced, slow.

There's no disputing he's not playing well but what I'm basing it on is Doidge pre-injury. There is no disputing he was excellent for us before. I don't believe players lose ability but i recognise they lose confidence.

The injuries he's had, pretty much everyone returns from no problem and he's still young enough to get back to his best.

He's had very little football in the last year. Was rushed back because we desperately needed him by JR and struggled to get up to speed. JR was then punted and SM turned up then told him to bolt.

He’s a striker of diminishing returns. His league goals are 12, 7, 2 and 0 so far this season. It seems fanciful that it’s all going to click for him again rather than the downward trend continuing IMO.

[Frogga]

It's worth noting that all of our league goals this season have been scored when Doidge has been on the pitch.

Individually Doidge hasn't played well this season but we always look better as a team with him in it. We improved a lot v Livi when he came on and looked more of an attacking threat v Rangers and Hearts.

I remember going to Aberdeen away years ago when he missed numerous glaring chances and feeling that we still looked better with him playing. He links up play, gives us a long ball option, draws defenders out of position and generally causes a nuisance.

If we want to get rid I hope we find a similar replacement as Doidge is about more than goals and assists imo.

[Winston Ingram]

You don’t believe players lose ability? Like never? Are you suggesting someone like Darren McGregor has the same ability now as he had in his late twenties but now he’s just low on confidence?

No of course not. My previous post referenced his age and he's still in his prime.

Obviously physical deterioration through age and injury will obviously affect ability. Looking at the types of injuries he's had, they aren't the types of injuries that do that wind up careers.

I don't think counting last season is being fair. 7 league goals wasn't great the previous year but his role was very different to the previous year as he had to cover Nisbet's failings.

Nisbet's awful performance last season was largely put down to Doidge's absence and as posted earlier, Doidge's contract renewal was widely celebrated on here after that 7 league goal season.

[Shrekko]

Nisbet's form was rightly heavily criticised, but I can't help feeling he's the perfect guy to play in between Boyle and Youan and will do really well when he's back.

[angus hibby]

He played in a front 3 most of last season and was hopeless. Boyle was beside him for all of it so it's difficult to see what Youan provides that turns him into a player.

[Shrekko]

2 players that really stretch defences on either side and just a more dynamic way of attacking as opposed to the laborious style of play we had previously.

I could be wrong- I thought Nisbet was desperately disappointing last season but he does have qualities.

Unreal the negativity some posters have when talking about our existing players. If they stay, I'll be happy. If they leave, then so be it.

[matty_f]

I don't think counting last season is being fair. 7 league goals wasn't great the previous year but his role was very different to the previous year as he had to cover Nisbet's failings.

Nisbet's awful performance last season was largely put down to Doidge's absence and as posted earlier, Doidge's contract renewal was widely celebrated on here after that 7 league goal season.

Did Nisbet steal your packed lunch or something? You really hate him, eh?

[Springbank]

Kevin Nisbet is a class act who had a tricky spell, but if you want to see what we are missing with Nisbet, have a look at Hibs second goal in the 3-1 semi final gubbing of Rangers.

For a big guy, his first touch is absolutely unreal, leading to Boyle's great run ending in a great goal.

The guy has scored at international level v the Netherlands, and at both Ibrox and Parkhead in the league, and I am very excited to see a Boyle Youan Nisbet front three

You want my prediction - that front three causes Rangers more havoc than PSV's much vaunted front 3 managed last night.

When he's back we could have a 6 months of football to savour that compares with the McGinn, McGeough, Allan spring of 2018

[BSEJVT]

Nisbet's form last season was worse than dreadful. He scored 1 goal and assisted 0 in his last 13 league matches and we stuck with him.

So that’s your critique on a full Scotland Inyernational yet you think based on not a thing Doidge will come good?

Wow

I know we all have players we rate and others we don’t but your take on their respective merits just astonished me

[Heedersnvolleys]

It's worth noting that all of our league goals this season have been scored when Doidge has been on the pitch.

Individually Doidge hasn't played well this season but we always look better as a team with him in it. We improved a lot v Livi when he came on and looked more of an attacking threat v Rangers and Hearts.

I remember going to Aberdeen away years ago when he missed numerous glaring chances and feeling that we still looked better with him playing. He links up play, gives us a long ball option, draws defenders out of position and generally causes a nuisance.

If we want to get rid I hope we find a similar replacement as Doidge is about more than goals and assists imo.

I know a striker’s main job is to score goals but my main issue with CD is even when he was scoring can anybody really say he was playing well? What I mean by that he was basically playing how he is playing now but scoring.

[04Sauzee]

Scored 12 goals in 33 whilst they were in the championship. Done ok in Slovakia and Romania as well. Can’t say that one would excite me too much tbh. I can’t remember him at United, any good?

Really?

I’m a bit surprised but that, I would often have said he still offers a lot from his hold up play when he’s not scoring. Even last year in Europe and the start of the season I thought his all round forward play was brilliant and really suited us.

Non existent now though

He was considering a move to Hibs and he was up for it as he saw it as a step closer to English football. His manager advised against it as he said Scottish football wouldn’t be good for him but then the Russian club came in for him anyway so the deal died. That love fell through and he went to Italy instead.

It’s an attacking midfielder we really need for me and I’ll be dissapointed if we don’t sign one.

I think with us having Rocky, porto and hanlon thats 3 decent starters for two positions. I don’t see Henderson as being ready to start and be relied upon yet though so think we need stronger there.

A number 9 for me. Then an Attacking Mid then a centre Half

[Big_Franck]

Definitely. Going into the season with only 3 senior centre halves in the squad would be a recipe for disaster. Even more so when you consider the disciplinary issues that 2 of them are almost certain to have.

I can see us being really short in certain key positions in the first half of the season and us having to do lots of work in January to sort the issues, by which time 3rd place will be extremely unlikely. We can see it coming which makes it all the more frustrating.

It’s my critique on a guy who had a decent first 4 months with us and followed it by being rotten for the proceeding 15 months.

The only reason he got a call up for Scotland was cos there was nobody else. It was down to hi, or Eamon Brophy.

In that 15 months he’s averaged a goal every 4 league games. Which is pretty stark considering he offers nothing else. He doesn’t set up goals, he can’t hold the ball up, his movement is nonexistent, he’s got a rotten 1st touch, isn’t a threat in behind and has a bang average work rate.

I’ve seen Doidge have 2 good seasons for us as opposed to Nisbet having a decent half season.

Nisbet has a superior record to Doidge in his time at Hibs for both goals and assists. In the one full season they had in a half decent team, Nisbet got 8 assists which isn’t bad for someone who doesn’t set anything up.

Nisbet will come back and be picked ahead of Doidge, if he’s still here.

I said in his last 15 months. He had a decent 4 months, the leagues defenders then worked him out.

He’s got a total of 5 assists in the league in his time with us. 4 in his 1st 4 months. 1 in the following 15.

[Winston Ingram]

He has a much superior record to Doidge over the last 15 months too.

Last season, Doidge scored 3 less league goals than Nisbet having played 711 minutes in the league. Nisbet started pretty much every game playing more than 3x as many minutes (2323 mins).

Doidge averaging a goal every 306 mins, Nisbet averaging a goal every 462.

That’s not superior.

[Winston Ingram]

Doidge had far more to his game. In his 1st 2 seasons his hold up play was superb and offered us a real physical presence and aerial threat up top. Despite only scoring 6 goals the previous season, him signing a new deal was widely celebrated on this forum because of that.

Many people on here also put Nisbet’s appalling form down to the absence of Doidge.

You’re trying far too hard to talk Nisbet down but not hold Doidge to the same standards. In fact you seem to be arguing that scoring less and assisting less is actually proof Doidge is better.

I reckon you're right, but it's an approach that doesn't come without risks.

Fair enough, to me seems a bit of a waste of wages unless we getting for next to nothing.. Kev out for 2 months, why not recall the young keeper already on our books and concentrate on the players we have needed for a long time, just imo

This boys been brought into sit on the bench. It’s better for Johnson to be out on loan playing games

Surely it’s better having Murray away getting first team experience?

If this guy is happy to sit on the bench all season then that’s fine with me.

Schofield is probably also significantly better.

[Stevie Reid]

Lad certainly doesn’t look 22 anyway.

[SHODAN]

That's that problem solved.

[King Cosell]

He'll do.

[Tambo]

That was quick.

[Edinburgh Green]

Yay, a keeper! 🙄

[Vault Boy]

Yay, a keeper! 🙄

Should have signed a winger to replace Dabrowski right enough

[Edinburgh Green]

Or use our highly rated other keeper and concentrate on positions we need to progress.

[CapitalGreen]

You think it would be sensible having only a 17 year old with 4 senior games under his belt as our only back up for the next few months?

[phoenixfire]

Was really hoping for a attacking midfielder in this week . Is it this Thursday the transfer window closes?

[Bridge hibs]

Or use our highly rated other keeper and concentrate on positions we need to progress.Its an emergency loan ffs, calm doon 🤣

[brog]

The people criticising us making an emergency keeper signing would be the same ones criticising us if Marsh got injured tomorrow and we had no experienced cover available. I despair.

[xqnq1875]

Heard from a good source today that the McKirdy deal is moving along nicely, apparently pushing really hard to get him in, despite chat saying doidge could stay we’re still apparently offering him to other clubs mainly ones down south

Seems like your the one getting animated. 👍🏼

[Bridge hibs]

Seems like your the one getting animated. 👍🏼Nah not really, plenty of time left in the window to sign what we need, second keeper was a bit more urgent, quite simple really 👍

Yep complete sense to get this guy in.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSo is it still a case of Doidge out first or are we pursuing Mckirdy regardless ?

[McGruber]

If there is truth in the rumours that Rocky is injured and facing a while out our priority needs to be bringing in a centre back. We were needing to anyway but would be imperative now. Would still like an attacking mid and experienced striker but the injuries to Dabrowski and potentially Rocky might see us needing to cover those 2 and that will be our lot

Apart from one person making a comment has there been anyone else mention rocky being out?

Scoopyboy says it. That's good enough for me.

What a shame, a wasted talent

I would never want him back but I didn't enjoy watching playing at that level.

The squad is screaming out for another centre half and a genuine centre forward

[SteveHFC]

Rocky out for 2 months.

Get a ****ing centre back signed.

[Nicho87]

Centre back x 2 required then?

[Stuart93]

Centre back x 2 required then?

It’s took us this long to sign one!

Wouldn’t mind a CB signed permanent and another brought in loan to buy

[Hibs90]

What the **** are they doing in training.

This isn’t a new problem this has been ongoing for years. Injury after injury. Something isn’t right.

FFS, is there no end to our injury problems.

Is there any more to this than just unbelievable bad luck ?

Training methods / managing loads and how players are brought back from injury do have to be questioned.

Would love to see a list last few years of injuries but I don’t think any other team have had it as bad ?!! It’s constant and we are regularly without key players.

It has to be questioned now. It’s gone too far. Time and time again players are getting injured. Whether it’s through training or matches or non contact injuries. They happen it’s part of the sport unfortunately but there comes a point when it’s not just bad luck.

[Callum_62]

I don't know how any club can be blamed for contact injuries

Muscle injuries can be looked his but a bash on your ankle or a heavy tackle in a game?

Nobody is blaming the club.

Contact injuries in training can also be looked at. You can look at training, warming up, sports science, physio and conditioning work, there are loads of things to look at even the type of bloody grass.

It needs an audit as to why it keeps happening and if anything is found then that needs addressed.

So one of our players goes in too hard on another player and that’s somehow the clubs issue?

The club will already be looking at every aspect on what they do each day.

Yes, as the employer that is their responsibility to make sure the environment is safe, due to H&S laws.

[Brightside]

Now you are just being daft. H&S in a contact game?? Stop it.

[Allant1981]

Away and dont slaver, its a contact sport, they are responsible for making sure their work environment is safe which im sure it is

Aye, that last part is essentially what I was saying. I'm sure it is too, but with the frequency and amount of injuries it needs looked at.

Can't all just be bad luck I'm afraid.

It definitely can. It might not be, but it certainly could be.

[Callum_62]

If my manager slide tackled me in the office fair enough but at football training?

Even more reason then why it needs looked at, to establish that then.

Someone should email the club.

The manager and coaching staff probably havent thought about this.

Knowing our luck we would pick umpteen blast injuries from a faulty batch of "bubbles" exploding
