Summer 2022-23 transfer thread

[Callum_62]

I've no idea how good Mckirdy is but I likeed his general f off attitude and thought it's something we are missing
A bit of swagger and devilment

Doesn't matter how it fell through but having him in the building, medical done and not actually signing him is a absolute ridder for us

[BH Hibs]

Drama Queens. I'm not sure McKirdy is worth having a meltdown over.

I wonder if we'll use the proposed funds on a back up deal.

TBH I’d rather see Melkersen being given a run through the middle, however not addressing the left CB role or bringing in a midfielder is piss poor.

[Smartie]

What exactly are you all angry at?

If you had the chance to sign Boyle, McGeady, Marshall, Youan and Cabraja pre window everyone would jump at it.

We're angry at the absolute state of our team, the weakness right through the middle of it, the number of opportunities we've had to address it and the number of times we've failed miserably to do so.

Well, that's what I'm miffed about but I'd be surprised if I was alone.

[greenlex]

I’m sharpening my pitchfork right now.

[The Tubs]

While it will be a problem if another striker doesn't come in, that's no reason for saying letting go of Doidge was a mistake. We weren't getting anything from him so I'd rather he went elsewhere to get his mojo back and we played Melkersen or even Youann/Boyle through the middle with Tavares wide.

[Hibees1973]

Johnson was quoted last week that he needed 2 'ready made' players for the first team.

At this point seems this is not happening.

What a mess.

[Stuart93]

Another year goes by where our manager has specifically called out the positions/players he wants - JR wanted a CB and striker, got bargain inexperienced loans; LJ called out he wants established first team players, currently looking like he'll get the same treatment.

Mathie was sacked over the failure of last year's window, I wonder who's head is on the block for this one?

We’ve got Ron’s son sitting comfy knowing his da will never sack him.

What a situation that is.

[hibsbollah]

Agreed fee with Swindon last night (as per multiple reports)

Contract agreed with McKirdy (as per multiple reports)

All sufficient for a short notice flight to Edinburgh by the player to complete a medical & Hibs release Doidge on loan (all factual)

Then this morning, Hibs try & change the deal

That's not negotiation, it's learning in public

Just horrible if thats the case.

[Mikey_1875]

What are the options now then? I’m assuming they will have to bring someone in to replace Doidge/save face.

******ing joke. I heard it was about us wanting to pay in instalments?? Anyone any the wiser?? He looked a decent player to me - I'd have loved to see him do that machine gun thang at the Yams. deflating. whoever said Lee might go f&&&k this - I wouldn't blame him

[GloryGlory]

Just need Hibs to put the tin lid on it and announce we're done for this window. :rolleyes:

[Pretty Boy]

Am I allowed to panic yet or is there still ages left in the window?😅

[JamesHFC]

We are going to end up with James Scott back at this rate.

[Nicho87]

We needed a centre half 1 month ago before the Bushiri injury.

Bushiri gets injured, we still need 1 arguably 2.

We need central midfielders as everyone knows the current lot aren’t at it.

None brought in

We rightfully get rid of doidge - replacement imminent

Deal collapses, hibs a striker down.

Only hibs. Only hibs

[007]

This is speculation isn’t it!?

Or even malicious gossip that some on here are happy to spread.

[B.H.F.C]

When you get to the last day of the window and you’re hoping for a signing or two to save the day, you know you’re in bad nick.

Two summer windows, two managers calling out what we need, two managers not getting what they need.

It’s a ****ing joke when the issues are so apparent.

[Since452]

Didn't know who McKirdy was this time yesterday now I'm weirdly gutted we aren't signing him.

[Broxburn Greens]

Joke as others say…

Let’s hope the fans (myself included) vent their anger at the board rather than the manager/players when we are next struggling in a game due to lack of options…. Most likely Saturday

[Edinburgh Green]

The Gordon’s and their appointments when it comes to football are absolutely ****ing useless.

Ron name dropping McCrorie only for him to go to Aberdeen.
Ben telling all and sundry in Portugal deals were close.
Ron on the podcast with the fans almost namedropping a player
Letting Doidge go without having a replacement in the building already
Ron bleating that the January transfer window was a resounding success

Regardless of whether Mckirdy signs or not, this is absolutely pathetic. ****ing sick of this.

Exactly, it’s one f’up after another. Even if the McKirdy deal does happen, this window has been brutal. Massive holes in the defence and midfield.

[Lago]

Just need Hibs to put the tin lid on it and announce we're done for this window. :rolleyes:
Can't be far away.

[Wheat Hound]

We are going to end up with James Scott back at this rate.

Well he is injured so that would make sense. Good double act signing of Fish and Pish.

[McGruber]

Big "if", no evidence that Hibs tried to change the deal.

There doesn't seem to be qny evidence it is off either. Still think we will get him in before the night is done

[JamesHFC]

Well he is injured so that would make sense. Good double act signing of Fish and Pish.

🤣

[Haymaker]

All of this could have been avoided if we had just signed Griffiths when we had the chance. Well done Hibs.

[Smartie]

Why would you walk away from a job getting zero compensation when you could hold out for a few months, get sacked and get a decent severance package?

Because if you walk with your head held high you might maintain a bit of credibility when it comes to getting another job, rather than being tarred by association by having been involved with this ****show?

[hibsbollah]

What are the options now then? I’m assuming they will have to bring someone in to replace Doidge/save face.

Anyone know Will Grigg's agents number? We could offer him 3 times what hes actually worth as the window slams shut.

[cameronw-hfc]

All of this could have been avoided if we had just signed Griffiths when we had the chance. Well done Hibs.

Still not figured out if your persistent pushing this is a long running joke or you're actually serious

[eastmainsmsh]

It could actually work out well for Hibs.

Even if we got McKirdy and Fish it would still leave us well short in a couple of key areas. However if we had all thought one of the deals was off and it was back on last minute it might feel a bit more like a win and counteract some of the vitriol .

[Unseen work]

I just can’t believe we’ve mucked this McKirdy deal up, I truly can’t.

Was looking nearly done last night, there’s no danger we’ve allowed Doidge to go to muck this up and be scrambling for a replacement in the last 4 and a half hours.

No quality in, no daddy figure, no centre mid. I’ve supported the recruitment team more than most but this would be too far.

Irrespective of whether McKirdy signs or not and whos fault it is it is Hibs fault that they let go a forward, whether you rate him or not, before you have managed to complete a deal to bring in another one.

Exactly this. For those who can’t bear other posters pointing this out, the evidence from the mouths of our managers should tell you something.

It may well be off but I find it hard to believe we'd try and change the deal last minute causing it to fall through. I certainly wouldn't be taking a bloggers word as gospel.

Really no point stressing. We're light in a few areas but I think we'll still do alright. Injuries are the biggest issue, and if these players are progressing well in their rehab, signing 3 or 4 new ones would be stupid.

It didn't metamorphosise. Somebody changed it to suit them and it didn't suit the other party.

Whoever changed it is culpable.

With some of his comments in the last fortnight or so, I think there’s every chance of that happening if we end the window with an untried, 19 year old centre half.

It’s not went well on the pitch so far (which he’s not blameless in) so if he’s not getting supported it wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he was off.

He’s already told of his frustration a couple of times with what he has to work with and that’s after first few weeks of season. He’s said what he wants/needs and if he doesn’t get it tonight then why tarnish you’re reputation by hanging about a club that is on the slide. It’s certainly not out of the question.

Not many managers walk away voluntarily, he’s probably just waiting for his payoff now given what he’s been left to work with.

The best outcome I can see is that he thinks stuff it, this squad will get me sacked anyway might as well try the likes of Macintyre, O’Connor, Laidlaw etc and see if youthful exuberance can kick start something.

Can only think it's a demand from the player that's caused this. Perhaps he's wanting a payment from Swindon for leaving plus a signing on fee from us. And we've both told him to bolt.

Unless it has the "Rocky effect". I thought our communications announcing his signing were disrespectful and frankly disgraceful.

He certainly started the season like he had a point to prove.

Maybe torrents of abuse for Fish will give him similar motivation? (Not that I'm suggesting it should or that it will be in any way aceptable).

Stepping back from it all I can’t help thinking that we needed a CH, CM and CF and we’ve signed none.

The feeling im getting from Hibs right now is on a par with how we were around that calderwood, fenlon , butcher time .. Season by season decline , seems we are spending money but not on the most important part … The starting eleven should be the focus after a bad season , not development signings, first team players who have never kicked a ball professionally.. We really do seem to be a complete shambles and the proof will be in the pudding at the end of the day.

[HibeeBigFly]

Promote Laidlaw or O'Connor from the development squad. Nobody we can sign now will be any better.

Totally agree, find it baffling we are scrambling about singing players from the likes of Swindon etc when we have highly rated youngsters of our own. How old do you need to be to play in this league. Flipping Barca have had multiple teenagers starting every game for years now.

If you had the chance to sign Boyle, McGeady, Marshall, Youan and Cabraja pre window everyone would jump at it.There are 3 or 4 posters on here that have completely lost the ****ing plot, its hilarious just to read their posts alone, thread is worth logging in for just for the laughs 🤣🤣

Obviously there are loads of reasons why a deal can fall through but you have to say that Hibs, at the moment, seem to absolutely Excel at coming out of these situations looking like absolute amateurs.

There’s no denying that we need to find the formula soon. IG should have all his ducks in a row going into a transfer window. It shouldn’t be hard to cell the club to potential signings.

Darren McGregor is one injury away from starting football matches. That's Darren McGregor who I thought effectively retired last year (and who I love, btw).

We have had 3 months to improve our first team .. Its actually staggering that we have managed to come out the other end weaker than we started. The football decisions being made are so random and bizarre , whats the strategy ? To me it looks like trying to sign young players and hopefully make some money on them .. We currently have 4 or 5 good players , the rest are either bang average or just plain *****.
