Summer 2022-23 transfer thread

[Eyrie]

This is by far my favorite of the meaningless ways of judging a players talent. Not that I understand it mind you, does anyone have a pdf of the levels to be found on the pishiness scale?

I think it ranges from a damp Foulkes all the way up to the fully soaked Locke.

[Brightside]

Jasper is pish.

Jones has been awful for the last 18 months too

[MrRobot]

3 mids required. Newell and JDH can go or one could be squad player

Would be a stupid move to let Newell leave, he’s a better player than most give him credit for.

JDH isn’t a started for me but is still a good squad player to have.

[Dr What If?]

Based on what we’ve seen I think we’d be mad to spend any kind of significant fee on him. If he was in a free transfer then fair enough (maybe), but didn’t do anywhere near enough for me despite the apparent potential.
Resources will always be the sad reality that spoils the 'fantasy Hibs' team we want to see on the park. I see him as a player that will get better and better (assuming the management/coaching team handle him right) but concede that last season he didn't look first XI ready. Yes I want Hibs to sign and develop quality young talent but if that is all we do then we leave ourselves open to not having a team for the 'now'.

Ross McCrorie could be available again soon….

Aberdeen fans going absolutely mental because he was at the game last night and there’s videos of him singing and celebrating.

Not going down well.

There’s a place in the squad for Newell, but I also don’t think we would particularly notice if he left.

Does sound like Johnson want athletic players that will work hard to win the ball back higher up the park

Looking forward to having some physicality and athletism in the team again

Yeah i liked that too. I've watched quite a lot of interviews with him now and his football doesn't seem over complicated. He speaks very well which is refreshing after Maloney who was like a rabbit in the headlights. Hopefully that filters through to the players and they all know exactly what their jobs are.

He used to be a winger but has said himself he doesn’t have that pace. He’s been playing as a striker for us.

I'd be oddly disappointed if we didn't get Scott for next season. He got himself a hat-trick on the final day and was actually playing pretty well towards the end of the season. There's a player there if he can get a good pre-season.

[CapitalGreen]

He is a good player, some people wouldn’t find it do difficult to admit that if he hadn’t turned us down. I wish we’d had him in our squad at the start of this season when Hanlon was out and then Porto was suspended.

I don’t think he’s got what it takes to play up front on his own, or as the middle one of a 3 with wide players. I suspect that’s how Johnson will want to play, so Scott really isn’t going to be good enough for us.

He might have been worth a punt as a squad player if we were going to play 2 strikers.

FWIW I’m not convinced either Nisbet or Doidge will be much use to us going forward, as neither of them do the lone striker thing well enough.

Like Magennis - we can’t rely on Doidge or Nisbet are main strikers next season due to return from injury.

Scott also isn’t at the level we need to push on. We want hungry players and strikers who score regularly. LJ said that and not inconsistent players.

That applies to whole team - guys who will play lots of games and who are robust.

A good spine with new leadership, more creativity, more pace and character. Sounds simple but it’s what’s needed.

Shelling out new long contracts on very average players who suddenly had two good games (JDH, Campbell) contributed greatly to this mess. Doing it again with Scott would be nuts IMO.

It doesn't have to be a long deal. I'd give him 2 years, he's only 21. JDH looked great early on in the season before Magennis got injured so maybe Johnson can get him playing well in a winning team.

Campbell I agree, terrible decision.

I’m not as agitated about the new contracts for the midfielders as most folk seem to be. I find it weird that Newell was deemed to deserve a couple of new contracts in quick succession whilst being done for drunk driving and playing in an awful midfield but that’s another story…

JDH started the season well and at the time the new contract was signed, probably deserved it. Campbell is probably paid a wage relative to his status as a young squad player who has broken through. I’d be surprised if his wage was any more than a tiny fraction of what Boyle or Mueller were earning. For a squad player, his wage might represent decent value, it’s not his fault he’s ended up being used more often than we’d have liked.

If these contracts stop us from being able to afford the couple of top midfielders we badly need then that’s a different story, but I don’t think they will.

Jasper is pish.

While he clearly has much to learn Jasper is very far from pish.

Newell and JDH aren't terrible footballers, they're just not good together. I can't see them being the reason we cannot bring in the midfielder players we need and they can remain as squad players or one fills a gap alongside two new midfielders (at present I'd start with Henderson in front of them with two new players alongside).

Out of Newell and JDH if we had to keep one I'd actually go for Doyle-Hayes. Newell has skills but we've almost never been able to accommodate his style in to a regularly winning side, I'm just not convinced we're the right club for him.

The Simpson/Durrant incident caused such massive hatred between them, though I suspect Aberdeen were just thrilled someone was treating them with the attention a derby rival normally receives and we all know the rangers just love creating drama and holding a grudge.

That said, I absolutely believe we'd have a similar reaction on here these days had he been a Hibs player. Sure there was something about Middleton going to games or posting online and he was only on loan to Hibs plus look how upset some are that the new manager played 4 games for Hearts

He’s absolutely lethal at the back post and has a tremendous engine on him. If Clarke goes back to Arsenal I’d be keen to take him.

Depends if Johnson plays wing backs, from what I’ve read I don’t think he does.

I don’t watch them all that much but when I have looks decent,as another poster said he’s a threat in opposition box,he’s fairly direct and strong as well.

I was watching some old Bristol city stuff,some big types like him in Johnson’s old team.

Dreadful footballer. Took advantage of hibs being defensively weak due to his size but file under Simon mensing when it comes to ability. I’d be worried if that was what hibs were signing. Cadden is a much better footballer

[Unseen work]

Aiden McGeady anyone.. 👀

A mate said him to me but I guessed it was guesswork, especially with McGeady criticising the club after Maloney had been sacked.

But since you were ahead of everyone with the Johnson chat I imagine there’s something in this especially since he’s out of contract.

Would have preferred him 3 years ago when we were first linked though

[Unseen work]

McGeady would also be a fantastic mentor for young Jasper 👀

Got a feeling this could happen - he’s been out injured for ages though.

Bailey and Roberts at Sunderland - just can’t see it but Bailey. Both would be ideal - a leader and Roberts who similar mould to Boyle. Roberts form has just picked up in time for playoff final so if they get promoted can’t see it.
Imagine the Sunderland players get paid lots more than the Hibs players.

Apparently he planned on signing players to fit a 4-3-3 at Sunderland with the midfield being a 6, an 8 and a 10, so a bit like the midfield we had when we had McGeough, McGinn and Allan.

Surprised nobody is looking at Daniel Mandroiu, always looked good in highlights I have watched.

[madhatter]

Hopefully Johnson will fix our midfield. Sounds like we'll need athletic, mobile players for his style of play and that's the complete opposite to our midfield.

Maybe Tait is mobile enough to fit in. He'll be like new signing if he doesn't get loaned out again.

[Fergus52]

Think with two key additions we're not too far away from being able to do that effectively.

Newell or JDH starting as the 6 depending on the opposition and if we want either more defensive or more technical ability there. A new energetic box to box player as the 8 with Campbell and Tait as back up. Then a new creative number 10 that can hopefully rotate with magennis if he can stay fit.

Not sure if it’s relevant or not but apparently Sunderland getting a massive budget now they’re in the championship.

Might mean some of the players that got them up could be moved on, maybe more relevant is the young players just below first team level who now have even less chance of breaking through.

Yeah, there at a weird place where anyone who has done the business for them would be way out of our reach but anyone who has struggled for them surely wouldn’t be good enough for us.

I watched their game today and have seen a few of their games over the course of this season. What struck me most was how good Ross Stewart was and how much we’ve been crying out for someone who does what he does. Up front on his own, supported by a couple wide players and a good number 10, ran himself into the ground and was an absolute handful.

It was Johnson who signed him. If he’s going to want to play that way with us he’s going to need to sign someone like him.

Mbappe signing a new deal at psg, close to £1m per week, absolutely mental

[GloryGlory]

I realise we need a fair bit of pace and creativity at the top end of the pitch, but anyone else think we need at least a couple of quality defenders, too? Looks like Macgregor may be ready to retire, Porto may be away and Hanlon, Stevenson and McGinn, good servants to the club though they are, are not getting any younger.

I don't know if any of the young lads are ready to step up yet and be regulars in the team.

[Unseen work]

Yeah we were linked with him for quite a while to the annoyance of some fans.

I remember reading alot of posts at the time saying we should be aiming higher, not good enough etc etc

Turns out he would have been a very good signing, if he replicated his Sunderland form for us which in fairness isn’t a given

We need strengthened all over but first we have to score goals. You're right though but it will take more than one transfer window. The fickle fans need to stay onside until Johnson gets the team as he wants it.

Wasn't on this forum at the time but I do remember reading that people didn't want him because he was "too similar to Bartley" which was then followed by a debate about unconscious racism.

[K-Zazu]

Yeah, there at a weird place where anyone who has done the business for them would be way out of our reach but anyone who has struggled for them surely wouldn’t be good enough for us.

I watched their game today and have seen a few of their games over the course of this season. What struck me most was how good Ross Stewart was and how much we’ve been crying out for someone who does what he does. Up front on his own, supported by a couple wide players and a good number 10, ran himself into the ground and was an absolute handful.

It was Johnson who signed him. If he’s going to want to play that way with us he’s going to need to sign someone like him.

Ah the Loch Ness Drogba, what a player.

See this is where a lot of problems lie IMO. Hanlon, Stevenson and McGregor have been around for some time now, it's almost as if management have said these guys are certainties for first team places and haven't focussed on replacing them at any time with any youngsters coming through, they've brought in the occasional player from outside such as Rocky but apart from Porteous and Doig is there absolutely nobody come through that could step in to replace these guys? I know some people watch the youngsters more than I do and might be able to answer this.

[Billy Whizz]

Delferriere who we brought in for next season's B team was in and around the first team squad for a lot of the end of the season matches, but only came on for a few minutes in the last game so not easy to judge if he's seen as a player who will be expected to push on next season and challenge for a place. A couple of the U18s came on too in that game, but again not obvious that they're ready to make the leap into the first team

The good thing about Tucker and McKirdy who were linked with is your imagine Lee Johnson would have very good knowledge of them, their quality and playing styles from his time at Sunderland.

If both were any good you’d think he’d have been targeting them.

We always seem to be linked with Sunderland players so clearly shop in the same market.

His knowledge of the English leagues could be a huge plus.

It also depends who he has in mind but I imagine Alan Forrest is the sort of player he’d really like.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Seen an article earlier saying that Ryan Gauld earns £35k a week at Vancouver.

If I was someone like Porteous I’d be begging my agent to get a move to the MLS. Obscene money, Gauld wasn’t good enough for us.

[HibeeMackenzie]

Seems to be the norm these days and with LJ being in the door for a few days now you would expect conversations to have taken place with those who are out of contract

[ElginHibbie]

When is Marshall getting announced?

Having medical today according to BBC

[timewilltell]

Having medical today according to BBC

Scotland goalkeeper David Marshall will have a medical in Edinburgh on Monday, with a view to finalising a move to Hibernian.

The 37-year-old agreed a pre-contract but the deal required approval from new manager Lee Johnson, who joined the club last week, before it could be concluded.

Marshall is a free agent after a short-term spell at Queens Park Rangers.

The last of his 47 caps came at the delayed European Championship in 2021.

The former Celtic, Norwich, Cardiff, Hull, Wigan and Derby keeper started all three group games and was the hero of the play-off final penalty shoot-out in Serbia that ended Scotland's 23-year wait to play in a major tournament.

However, he has not featured since after losing his place at Derby, where he had been captain, at the start of this season.

In January, Marshall moved to QPR and played 12 matches before picking up a hamstring injury in mid-March.

Matt Macey, 27, was Hibs' first-choice keeper this season, making 44 appearances, with back-up Kevin Dabrowksi, 23, taking the gloves on six occasions.

Seems mental to be actually wanting to sell him he’s one of the best performing mids in the league, suppose they poor league finish maybe need to sell to buy and SG will be looking to put his own stamp on things this window, here’s hoping he goes if we get the sell on % for that it’s not so bad watching them in euro groups

Wouldn't surprise me if Stevie_G and Klopp got there there heads together. Klopp will need to replace both Milner & Henderson soon and McGinn would be a ready made replacement for either of them imo.

[HoboHarry]

I think McGinn will move on but if he doesn't this signing will allow McGinn to move up to a more advanced role than the more defensive role he's been in for a while at Villa. We'll see more more goals from him....

[Hibs90]

Few offers in for Porteous apparently

[Hibernian Verse]

I personally wouldn't extend McGinn's contract. Last season I felt we leaked goals from the right hand side of defence when McGinn played.

He was superb the season before last, but just not convinced he is good enough to get us where we want to be.

Feel both McGinn and Doig need competition at least. Ideally we bring in new full backs and centre backs.

McGinn was at fault for a few goals / pens.
Doig seems teams have worked out he’s not great defending deep high crosses.

[timewilltell]

We don't want our defence to just be ok, we want it to be excellent. Marshall will help that

I also wouldn’t rely on Cadden at right back. Completely wasted back there and play him further forward to get crosses into box.

“His experience will be invaluable for us both on and off the pitch. It’s vital that our senior players aren’t just great characters, but also help us set the standard around the training ground and on matchdays.

“He is a fantastic addition to this squad, and I’m looking forward to working with him.”

Head of Recruitment, Ian Gordon, added: “We have a young, talented, ambitious team, but we know that if we want to be successful, we need to have a good balance in terms of experience and leadership, and David Marshall fits that mould perfectly.

“He is a real professional, who will push on the other ‘keepers and really help accelerate the development of our younger goalkeepers like Murray Johnson.”

McBurnie joining them for a fortune and being as pish as you might expect / hope would be pretty good though.

Need players that are going to go straight in to the team and are an improvement on what we have. He does that for me. Not too over excited with David Marshall tbh. Did anyone see him play last season? Got injured in March. If he can reproduce his form from earlier in his career that's fine but I'll wait to see how he plays for Hibs which is the most important thing.

What’s this negativity based on? His age? The two best keepers in the league last season are older than him.

His track record? Can’t see anything in there that blots his book.

Players get injured and recover all the time. It was a hamstring. I’d be more concerned if it was something in his shoulder/hand

Wonder if he’ll be for the first team? You’d have to presume so.

Nohan Kenneh confirmed

Where are you seeing that mate ?

Wonder if he is Porteous or JDH/Newell’s replacement. Or maybe just an addition to the squad.

[B.H.F.C]

Nae idea if he’ll be any good or not. Hopefully he’s ready to go right in to the team because we certainly need someone in that position.

Leeds fans seem sorry to see him leave and think he'd have stayed and got some game time if they'd gone down. I like what I'm reading.

Looks like he’s signing, predominantly as a midfielder, going by Johnson’s comments.

[Pretty Boy]

Sounds like he could be the 'number 6' we were promised.

19 years old, he's very young to be someone who will go straight into that midfield. Perhaps alongside 2 or 3 more signings hopefully. :pray:

Welcome Darren Marshell and No-hands Kenny

One of the players Maloney was working on bringing in I assume, Johnson now just giving it the go ahead like the Marshall deal.

[JamesHFC]

2 signings in the door already, keep them coming.

well....sounds decent!

[Vault Boy]

He was linked to PSG a couple of years ago. 😶

[Ozyhibby]

First signing a centre mid? Johnson keen to not make same mistake as Maloney.

An international goalkeeper and on the face of it a good prospect coming into the club. Great to see some early activity.

[GreenGray]

Leeds fans all saying how good he is and been on the fringes of the first team, sounds promising!

Delighted with Kenneh signing bit of a Leeds fan and they’ve been raving about him for a number of years a cracking signing for us

[04Sauzee]

Leeds fans are all over Hibs Twitter wishing him well and saying we have got a real talent.

A centre mid signed before pre season even starts 😍😍

Questions can certainly be asked about some of the quality signed in January but we definitely seem to be trying to get most of our business done earlier these days.
