Winter 2022-23 transfer thread

[flash]

No idea regarding the veracity of this story but I reckon Nisbet will be agitating to get away.

He wanted a move as soon as he arrived which got right on my nerves and has made it difficult for me to warm to him subsequently.

Clearly 1 million is nowhere near enough to tempt the club but this is probably the start of an uncomfortable week for both the club and the fanbase.

Know what you mean, it’s almost like he thinks he needs to make up for lost time.

The injury he suffered probably made it worse and he thinks he needs to get to England and earning more money asap.

If I was him I’d be wanting a better move than Millwall though.

Sam Cosgrove went to Birmingham when Nisbet was linked, look how that’s turned out for him

[04Sauzee]

Remind me what % Dunfermline get from Hibs for any sale of Nisbet

[B.H.F.C]

Starting to wonder if something else is going at the club.

As far as Nisbet is concerned, don’t think there is anything untoward. He’s a good player and there is interest, just as there was before.

We won’t sell unless we want to though. For all their faults, the current owner/board have shown they won’t just take the first offer they get for someone.

He’s just coming up for 26 so he doesn’t really have a big window of opportunity to get the contract that’ll set him up for life.

Think it’ll be the summer before we sell though.

[Heisenberg]

EEN saying the bid will be rejected and remains to be seen whether they’ll go back in. Scott Burns saying the clubs are close to an agreement. Hmm…

[Tyler Durden]

If we sell him for less than 2-3m then it's clear Gordon's trying to recoup what he can. Which would make sense given the silence.

Would that be clear aye?

What a load of nonsense seriously

Millwall are in contention for the Championship play offs.

There are surely worse options for someone in their mid twenties than earning a decent few quid, living in London and playing at a level which is a decent level yet one he should still hope to be able to make an impact at?

[McGruber]

Laidlaw to Villa is the other one aswell, if all of the above comes to pass the club have serious questions to answer

Hopefully not and he at least gets to step on the park. Can't think of any youngster having been given a look in by Johnson outwith the friendlies... where they looked pretty good

[McGruber]

EEN saying the bid will be rejected and remains to be seen whether they’ll go back in. Scott Burns saying the clubs are close to an agreement. Hmm…

An agreement like, 'so we are agreed, he's yours for 3 million'

[ShetlandHibby]

A lot may depend on what the club budgeted for at the start of the season. Did we budget for getting passed the first round of the Scottish? Did we budget for 3/4th in the league? If we were ambitious in our budgeting and we don’t or don’t look likely to hit targets then we need to fill the shortfall.

[RossScott1991]

Nisbet has never properly loved it here and current state who would. He itched for a move first bid that came in. And will be desperate to get this one over the line

[cameronw-hfc]

Just waiting for the transfer request to break and it'll be back to old times. Not heard anything just fully expect Nisbet to throw his toys out the pram

We’re already loaning out and selling players we paid fees for in the last 12 months. We are out both cups early doors. The manager and CEO are both now on record saying we need to get outs first rather than ins. The owner has been absolutely silent. Youth players aren’t getting signed up.

We are basically saying - without publicly saying it - that we haven’t the funds.

We won't be filling in a shortfall by selling our biggest assett way below his value, 1 million is way below his value

Agreed. It would be a fantastic opportunity for him. Too good to turn down.

Bad for us obviously but would not want to stand in anyone’s way as long as good deal for club also.

He’d be well advised to look at how these turned out career wise for Cummings & Cosgrove.

Anything of intrest happened giving this thread is on page 176.

Just waiting for the transfer request to break and it'll be back to old times. Not heard anything just fully expect Nisbet to throw his toys out the pram

If the deal is right for the club, he’ll be away. Hopefully he learned his lesson from last time. Maybe injury gave him time to reflect

[SHODAN]

Naw. Just, naw.

If he goes we're ****ed.

[cameronw-hfc]

If the deal is right for the club, he’ll be away. Hopefully he learned his lesson from last time. Maybe injury gave him time to reflect

I get that, I just don't think he'll care about what's right for the club, and will force the move regardless. He's done it at every club he's been at.

[SHODAN]

League goals this season from Hibs strikers that aren't injured and aren't Nisbet:

1

Cant see it, he will have matured after last time and he is now a Scottish international..I will say again we cannot be accepting anything south of 3m

[truehibernian]

Or that the squad size is too big.

What’s your thoughts on Hibs loaning a player we signed for a 6 figure fee, announcing it as a real coup, then loaning hun and going on record stating there’s a 7 figure buy clause ?

Sorry, but if we value a player in the milllion pound bracket contractually, why on earth is a club languishing 6th (and not at the time of the loan), not playing him ?

It’s not ‘good business’, it’s Kensall taking us for fools. If he succeeds at Sparta and is then bought, and we end up bottom six, there’ll be outrage. If he fails, we’ve a player back who we have over valued, not really played, and will question - rightly - why we placed such high value on him.

The recruitment team and CEO are an utter shambles.

[truehibernian]

Thought we paid a fee for Jimmy Jeggo?

Who looks absolutely no better or worse than a player we are happily trying to shift (JDH). Yep, only one game in admittedly, but he offered nothing in a game that adrenaline and a derby debut should have offered much more. In a good performance on Sunday (by the team) I honestly didn’t see anything he will bring to this side. Wasn’t tidy in possession, early booking, never imposing, and for a debut I’m expecting much much more even if it is his first game. Dylan Tait looked way more impressive pre season if I’m brutally honest.

[Nutmegged]

Nisbet has never properly loved it here and current state who would. He itched for a move first bid that came in. And will be desperate to get this one over the line

I think that might be true, he ever really had a chance to, his firat season he scored 18 goals, we finished 3rd and got to the Scottish Cup Final, in most seasons he'd have been hero worshiped by the fans but as we played behind closed doors there was no or at least very little connection with the fans, then last year he got injured after a meh season and has just burst back onto the scene again after the World Cup probably with the idea to get himself in the shop window.

So I'd agree he probably hasn't got the Hibs bug in his time but can understand why that would be the case.

[Donegal Hibby]

Naw. Just, naw.

If he goes we're ****ed.
Hibs have rejected the lowball offer . There's no way we will sell Nisbet for that kinda money , it's seriously below his valuation. Millwall are at it and what we should do is offer 350,000 or so for Fleming, style's or Mitchell who are valued much higher , see how they like it ?.

Absolute guarantee he’ll not care about the club and rightly so from his point of view. Short career, just back from long term injury. For him, take the money and run.

The club get rid of players who are not good enough without a thought. Players/Agents look after themselves.

Dylan Tait played a kickabout at a snails pace in pre season. Jeggo came in on one training session and did ok in a game that was a million miles away from that. The way the performances of boys like Tait and Delferrière are being over egged from pre season is mental.

Guy that was scoring loads for Ayr might be an option. Not sure how he’s doing now right enough.

[McGruber]

Who do we bring in if Nisbet leaves?

It'll be a question for the summer I think.
If a serious bid comes in and accepted I doubt they'd bring anyone in and go with what we have. Sounds mental I know, but we've done it with the midfield for long enough.

Johnson on record about turning Youan into a top number 9.....

[Donegal Hibby]

Guy that was scoring loads for Ayr might be an option. Not sure how he’s doing now right enough.
Watched Ayr Utd recently and he was awful no were near good enough for Hibs . Very surprised some of you think we will sell Nisbet for such a low offer btw . I don't think he will be going anywhere for a offer like that.

[mcfly]

Who do we bring in if Nisbet leaves?

Without his goals we are in a relegation battle. No doubt about it.

Once he’s gone there are no saleable assets left.

Worrying times and crowds will start to be affected.

[04Sauzee]

Guy that was scoring loads for Ayr might be an option. Not sure how he’s doing now right enough.

1 goal in 6 not sure how he's playing?

He may not leave for that offer bit it certainly sets the ball rolling for other offers to come in.

We'd end up with that rocket Tony Watt

We’ve been playing with false (insert any number in here) for the majority of this season so why not 9😏

[Is It On....]

Joe Savage had already been appointed when Hearts lost to Brora and their starting line up contained 4 of his signings (Kastsneer, GMS, Gnanduillet & McEneff). His early signings were mostly rubbish. They key difference maker now is that they are spending a lot more money than everyone else outwith the Old Firm.

His signings?...he started in December 2020. My point was about how things can turn if done properly.They appointed Lancefield (ex Brighton and Norwich recruitment department) in July 21 and in October 21 Ian Gordon (owners son) replaced Mathie. You would be hard pressed to argue our transfer dealings have been better than theirs over this period. The problem we have, and where we agree, is that they are now using their financial advantage properly (excluding their manager) rather than wasting it as Levein did (and Aberdeen are doing).

[Smartie]

Bad recruitment. Too many players not ready for the 1st team.

I'd say an option to buy at the end of a loan amount is not the same thing as a current value amount. Anyone that thinks that misunderstands it. When a club puts a player out on loan they do so with the intention of him developing as a player therefore his value should have increased.

I'd say the loan deal means we still rate him and if he does well we don't want to lose him on the cheap. The same folk complaining £1m+ is too high would be the 1st to complain if he did well and it had been set at about what we paid for him.

Do you think he's currently good enough to be starting every week? If we get £1m from Sparta in the summer then'll we'll have made a good profit from a player that's only started a handful of times.

[truehibernian]

Dylan Tait played a kickabout at a snails pace in pre season. Jeggo came in on one training session and did ok in a game that was a million miles away from that. The way the performances of boys like Tait and Delferrière are being over egged from pre season is mental.

It’s all about opinions and first impressions mate - my first impression is he’s nothing above average. The only notable thing he did for me was take a booking early doors and other than that was anonymous because we rightly played width, circulating it wide and by passing their midfield as often as possible (rightly so as they were strong in midfield).

If he succeeds, I’ll happily concede the point. Last three managers haven’t signed a dynamic creative midfielder - that’s what we need, that’s what we lack, and signing a defensive midfielder for the biggest game of the season showed a lack of real intent.

[gegs70]

8 am sure bigger clubs that Millwall will be keeping an eye on Nisbet. He looked really frustrated after and duriing the Derby. Seems we are having a huge fire sale. Will we have another player lined up if the right offer comes in?

[The Modfather]

And Celtic lost Ben Doak to Liverpool, although they got a decent fee

We kept Porteous when Celtc wanted him because we put an agreed plan in place to fast track his progression. If we lose any of the U19s to higher up the food chain before they have even played for us, and for pittance, I would give Hibs a large portion of the blame. I wouldn’t blame the likes of Laidlaw for leaving given there’s no pathway into the first team and we would rather play square pegs in round holes than give opportunities to youngsters.

All that said, hopefully the likes of Laidlaw etc sign new deals and stay.

No, not a fire sale. No surpise that clubs are in for Porteous and Nisbet.

all we would be doing is insulting they players if we valued them so low

[GreenPJ]

Rumoured Laidlaw has been eyed up by Aston Villa, out of contract end of season alongside a few others from the youth team

Did he not go down to Liverpool and Man Utd a couple of years ago to train - he is young and has been playing well at his age level but how many times have we seen that they can't take the next step up. I am not saying that Laidlaw or O'Connor can't make the next step but Hibs have been proven more right than not when letting youngsters go.

Kean has done a good job with the U19's and if he believes that they are worth a contract I am sure he will have told the powers that be that. I hope that one or both of the young strikers get a chance in the next few games to see if they have what it takes to play first team football.

[McGruber]

And Celtic lost Ben Doak to Liverpool, although they got a decent fee
Not much we can do when these clubs with plenty money come calling
It’s a shame we’re not giving any of them a chance though

You're right, not much we can do but surely put a contract offer to the better ones before they get into the last 6 months. I appreciate it is always hard to tell with youth, even the better ones like Laidlaw ultimately might not make it - but got to be more organised for what we view as the better potential players.

Already a shambles. Our best RB isn't a very good RB.

Cadden is never a RB. He can't defend.

If we had a good RB would Cadden be in the team? Doubt it, that's the problem we have. Players who aren't the best in their positions play week in week out and probably take up a fair portion of the budget in salary.

[wookie70]

Cadden would surprise me but LJ likes a 4 at the back and he is only suitable for a more advanced right sided player. The problem is will we get any better or does he see Miller as being ready. I much prefer Cadden but Miller hasn't been involved much due to injury

[Unseen work]

I’d be surprised about Cadden as he’s a first pick and only signed a contract extension last year until 2025.

Suppose it could come down to his salary and if Johnson thinks Miller Megwa are sufficient quality if both can stay fit and get games.

We do concede a lot of goal down the right hand side so maybe he thinks Miller could stop that, save a couple of k a week and bring in quality elsewhere all whilst receiving a fee

Watford are ‘in talks’ over signing Ryan Porteous from Hibs, according to a report.

However, a move for the Scotland cap may not be concluded until after the clash with Aberdeen.

Record Sport previously reported that Blackburn Rovers and the Hornets were among the clubs chasing the signature of the 23-year-old, who is out of contract this summer. The Athletic now claim those talks are at an advanced stage

Has he actually been saying to randoms certain players aren’t good enough?

I was one that wanted to keep him but the results since he’s took over, way we got them and cup exits is making it difficult.

He also doesn’t help himself going out the night before a derby, complaining about the players mindset when playing the old firm and then next game comparing us to a fiat and Celtic a Lamborghini or whatever it was. Saying we have the best front 3 out with the old firm when Nisbet is the only one scoring.

Then there’s the camel jacket away at Celtic and having his hands in his sleeves when we played hearts on the 2nd.

He just needs to shut up and stop brining unwanted attention to him and the club.

I was one that wanted to keep him but the results since he’s took over, way we got them and cup exits is making it difficult.

He also doesn’t help himself going out the night before a derby, complaining about the players mindset when playing the old firm and then next game comparing us to a fist and Celtic a Lamborghini or whatever it was. Saying we have the best front 3 out with the old firm when Nisbet is the only one scoring.

Then there’s the camel jacket away at Celtic and having his hands in his sleeves when we played hearts on the 2nd.

He just needs to shut up and stop brining unwanted attention to him and the club.

Unfortunately LJ insists with a formation that just involves one up.

[Cat Stanton]

Not heard anything myself just posting what I've seen on twitter.

Saying "it's on twitter" is like 20 years ago (ie pre-twitter) saying "heard a guy muttering to himself at a bus stop".

In both cases what was said was not necessarily true.

[JimBHibees]

What’s worst with the changing room?

In fairness I imagine any changing room that’s had 10 defeats in the last 14 or whatever it is wouldn’t be a nice place to be.

They can moan about whatever they want and make all the excuses but the players are the ones going out there and playing poorly

Agree totally easy excuse the managers fault

[JimBHibees]

I’d be delighted if Cadden was away. Can’t think who’d want him though.

Imagine a number of clubs would. Was he not our player of the year last season

[jeffers]

Nah, at the risk of going over old ground, he would make vague educated guesses based on information that was already out there.

Like he’s doing just now with Cadden maybe leaving and rumours of unrest in the camp.

Think that’s being a bit unfair. He did have some contacts and posted legitimate info.

[Ronniekirk]

Remind me what % Dunfermline get from Hibs for any sale of Nisbet

[JohnM1875]

Watford are ‘in talks’ over signing Ryan Porteous from Hibs, according to a report.

However, a move for the Scotland cap may not be concluded until after the clash with Aberdeen.

Record Sport previously reported that Blackburn Rovers and the Hornets were among the clubs chasing the signature of the 23-year-old, who is out of contract this summer. The Athletic now claim those talks are at an advanced stage

Have to admit I've given Porto a wee bit of stick the past few months for not signing an extension to get us more money etc. But if he sticks around until after the Aberdeen game fair play to the boy. Be easy to sit out the big games with a big money move looming, but he's playing and still giving 100%.

That's what I thought Ronnie, just wondering if it's 30% of any profit. Not sure what we paid for Nisbet but there was talk of 400? So if he went for 1m ( which he won't) would it be 30% of £600k.

Was talking to a Watford supporting colleague today and he specifically asked about Porto. He was saying he had heard good things about Porto and he would likely improve the current Watford defence hugely. Apparently their view of their defence is much the same as our view of our Defence. Watford fans are saying it is happening....but didn't say when!

Not even remotely in the know, but if we want to be getting ready-made guys who know the league and can make a step up, I'd reckon the following are all worth a look. Our best team of recent years was built around picking guys up from "lower" clubs and giving them a platform.

Nicky Devlin, right back (and captain) from Livingston
Ian Harkes, midfielder from Dundee Utd
Alex Iacoviti, centre back from Ross County
Stephen Kelly, midfield playmaker from Livingston
Harry Milne, left back from Partick Thistle

Although he might not be wrong in that some players aren’t good enough, there’s a way to go about it.

They’re also better players than losing 10 games in 14, I’m pretty sure most fans on here could lead us to a better record than that 😅

Said it at the time. Calling the players deadwood, low football IQ, 'getting rid' and so on.
For a guy that swallowed a thesaurus would it have been difficult to say 'some players opportunities might be limited here and would be in their interests for them to find a new challenge' or however he wants to say it, at least publicly.

Should it matter, no. Players should prove him wrong, do their job, accept the deserved criticism. In the reeal world players have egos and people all react different.

The kind of thing that leads to a split camp and losing the dressingroom... ah wait 🤔

The position of “right midfield” doesn’t exist though. Nobody plays a 4-4-2 anymore. He can’t play where Youan or McGeady play, which is a wide forward.

He can play right wing back (with 3 at the back) which LJ does not seem interested in playing.

Devlin isn’t a bad player, but he’s nae better than Paul McGinn is/was.
Harkes and Iacoviti would be big downgrades on what we have.

I’ve no seen anything of Milne to form an opinion, and other than the double he scored the other day I’d never really noticed Steven Kelly, but his records pretty terrible for a striker. We’ve already got forwards who dinnae score much.

Wasn’t all that long ago you were saying the same about Nisbet.

I was bang-on about Nisbet from Jan 21 til his injury. He was appalling.

He's been a different player since he returned. Seems to have developed a first touch, the ability to hold the ball up a lot better, and his movement has gone up 10 fold.

I think his attitude looks night and day. Previous to his injury he didn't appear to have any desire about him whatsoever. Every time a ball came into the box he wouldn't move. He wouldn't compete for 50/50's. His pressing was non-existent.

The 3rd goal he scored v Motherwell was real eye-opener. He made a decoy run to the back post, then shoved the defender out his way to make space. A brilliant piece of striking. He'd never have done that last season.

I actually thought Sunday was up there with his best games for us. In any previous games v Hearts, he's been a passenger. Physically he really competed. His hold-up play was excellent.

I remember him and big doidge working too deep both were nearly never present when the ball came in for them.

One of my complaints at the time was we never seemed to play through the middle,even in dangerous areas centrally we over done the play it out wide tactics. Stifled us a bit I felt under JR.

Aye the movement against Motherwell and even Sunday,showed his forward intelligence. But the finishing was 1st class.

I’m an open critic of his too,I can’t stand a transfer request,but I’m just over the moon to see a striker looking the biz up front again.

I've never doubted his finishing and I think technically he's always been a good footballer. The issue was, he would only seem to wait until the ball was given to him perfectly.

On Sunday, we saw him sticking his backside into defenders and busting his balls to protect the ball. That was something he never did before.

I've never been a fan since he downed tools for months after submitting a transfer request.

I've no doubt the increased work rate you mention is purely to put himself in the shop window for a move.

Nisbet’s rejuvenation on retired from injury was thought by many as being one good reason why we shouldn’t really be feeling we’d be involved in a relegation scrap.

If we didn’t replace with a high quality, ready made striker, that fear could return.

On the bright side though, the proposed hovercraft link from Leith to Kircaldy would be very handy indeed for Raith Away.

His valuation is surely based upon what someone is willing to pay.

At the moment, that is 2.3m.

That could rise if more clubs bid, or Hibs negotiate a higher fee, but I'd be surprised if we end up with much more than that figure reported.

If he keeps scoring we’ll get 2.5mil easily in the summerWhat happens if he downs tools and only scores 1 or 2 by end off season we won’t get much. We need to take a decent amount now.

[Willis1875]

Well if he did that you’d have to question his own professionalism.

We absolutely would have to but that wouldn’t help us get the reported near 2.5million on offer now

[Unseen work]

That’s the main issue though. We don’t let him leave then the toys come out the pram again and the goals could dry up like they did previously. If he were to be able to carry on his form and he wasn’t kicking off looking to move I’d definitely keep him.

This is it.

I think he might be saying to them I want to go and I’m not signing a new contract no matter what.

We saw before what an unhappy Nisbet looks like

[Lee Marvin]

Rocky
Boyle
Nisbet
Porteous
Magennis (because... well, he is never fit)

All will probably not play for Hibs again this season (I know Magennis will but I am past counting on him anymore). With alleged chaos behind the scenes (and the other injuries we have) there is every possibility the wheels could come off Hibs (if they havent already).

Strap in folks!!

[04Sauzee]

Devante Cole
Sam Cosgrove
Ryan Hardie
Dipo Akinyemi

Any other strikers we can think of to replace Nisbet that at least have previous experience of scoring a goal or a bit of quality
Hope somebody can think of better, there has to be better.

[Donegal Hibby]

Sorry, totally misread your post! I totally agree, needs to be a bigger fee to sign this window. Agree we could get the same £2mil plus in the summer.
If he stays and keeps scoring I think we will get over £3 mil plus for him in the summer.

[JimBHibees]

What happens if he downs tools and only scores 1 or 2 by end off season we won’t get much. We need to take a decent amount now.

He will be focusing on staying in Scotland squad so that would be silly of him.

[Smartie]

Myko can't be far away from a return now though, no?

If we could keep Nisbet beyond the weekend, that would be huge.

I don't think we risk the huffy downing of tools again. If we get them to £2.3m (without it being a pile of add ons to take it to £2.3m) plus some sort of interest in his future ie we get a windfall if Millwall go up, then I think we should do it.

For all the talk of how good he's been since he came back from injury he's been a bit of a flat track bully - lots of goals against weaker teams but some quiet and poor performances and few goals in the biggest games. I don't think he's as indispensable as some people do, whilst acknowledging that some of his performances have been top notch and in many ways those are still the games that we need to be winning to cement a high league position.

[04Sauzee]

Lewis Mayo is reportedly on his way out of Rangers, he's currently on loan at Killie but Rangers may sell. He's been linked with a move to 'several Scottish clubs and English clbs' one guy being cryptic on Twitter making out it could be Hibs

I know it's not much but it's a rumour 😂

[LunasBoots]

If he stays and keeps scoring I think we will get over £3 mil plus for him in the summer.

Or we negotiate a deal closer to 3 million now, anything could happen between now and the end of the season, one injury and we will likely be at a point we get not very much. Don't think the club are in a position to take that chance.

[One Day Soon]

If we lost Porteous and Nisbet in this window you can kiss goodbye to the rest of the season in every context other than the possible threat of relegation. That will almost certainly be accompanied by another money-spinning season in Europe for Hearts.

We won't in this window recruit the quality at the back to replace the former and we certainly won't find goals at the front to replace the latter - either from what we have or what we may sign.

I think there's a very strong likelihood that we will be denuded of most of the limited quality we have by the end of this window and we won't remotely come close to replacing it. If that turns out to be the case the owners and their lackeys better prepare for a truly poisonous atmosphere at games and a mutinous set of supporters approaching the next season ticket sales.

In 2022 there was quite a lot of bollocks talked about our raft of new signings being exciting young prospects about to break through. Few people will buy into that crap again. Next to no-one will buy into LJ as the continuing manager if we see most of his previous signings sold, loaned or simply not played while our form remains horrific.

They're going to have to bring in a name rather than a prospect as the new manager, sign established players rather than wannabes as first team picks and they are going to have to do both very early on since we won't get to see these people playing much before the summer window closes and therefore during the period when they will be desperate for season ticket sales. And a late DoF appointment (or one that then needs to 'review' things for months) won't cut it either.

In short, they've made a total **** of things and the only way to rectify that is admitting they got it wrong, finding some cash and getting some real football people to take charge on the football side. If they think Hibs are just a business I suspect they are about to find out the hard way that there is a lot more to it than that.

What's that saying? **** around and find out?

mid feb and then he needs to get match fit

[Unseen work]

Hope somebody can think of better, there has to be better.

I know not exactly inspiring but I would take Cosgrove, Cole and Hardie in a heartbeat if Nisbet goes.

Purely for the reason that I know them and what they can do in this league.

I have the fear we’ll try something ridiculous again

[Winston Ingram]

mid feb and then he needs to get match fit

I'd imagine with the extra budget the fee should give us, we could get a decent loan in

[Winston Ingram]

Or we negotiate a deal closer to 3 million now, anything could happen between now and the end of the season, one injury and we will likely be at a point we get not very much. Don't think the club are in a position to take that chance.

But there’s no one scoring the goals he has in our squad.

We don’t get that draw against dundee utd without Nisbet as no-one else in the squad has the vision or quality to score the goals he did.

Same with his hatrick at motherwell. He’s always in the right place at the right time which is what we lacked when he was out.

Hibs without Nisbet really gives me the fear of the play offs

[LunasBoots]

Millwall got any strikers out of favour that we could get a loan out of?

[Winston Ingram]

That’s the main issue though. We don’t let him leave then the toys come out the pram again and the goals could dry up like they did previously. If he were to be able to carry on his form and he wasn’t kicking off looking to move I’d definitely keep him.

I think we have to take it. He was dog**** from Jan 21 until his injury. We'd have been lucky to get £2.30 for him prior to his injury. He's has had 1 great month in 2 years. We'd be mental to turn down this opportunity again.

[tonyrougier123]

Sam Cosgrove is apparently still on £18k per week. Can't see him leaving that to join us. Plus he'll likely stay with Plymouth and get promoted to the Championship

[Stuart93]

Kukharevych scored 3 in his last 5 before he got injured

I still don’t reckon he scores the kind of goals nisbet does. Nisbet seems to create goals from half chances.

Pretty mental. That’s us rushed to get a midfielder in before the hearts game and now rushing to get a CB in before Saturday.

Instead of having a well thought and drawn out plan for signings we were needing this month before January arrived

Hibs offered him an extension and he's refused to play ball. They even discussed a year extra on his current deal. The boys a f@nny imo. He's recently changed agents as well. Asking for a move six months into a deal says it all about him.

[SHODAN]

If there wasn't a threat of relegation I would take this offer, no problem.

However, even with the money we'd lose out on, and the prospect of relying on an unhappy striker for the remainder of the season, it is simply too big a risk as it stands. I have no idea where the goals we need are going to come from because there is no way we are guaranteed to get a decent replacement with the budget we have and in this window.

[mcfly]

So who starts up front on sat?

Youan and mckirdy?

What a total shambles this transfer window has been.

If I did my job as bad I’d be emptied out.

We are a stepping stone for many young players, he's no loyalty to us, if you where going to earn money to set you up for life you'd likely be offski too, don't really have a problem with that.

There's a way to move like McGinn then you have the Nisbets of the world. He's spent a good chunk of time injured. He could give us a years extension. I'm not really bothered if he goes tbh anyway. I've never taken to him.

[bingo70]

McKirdy and Laidlaw for me.

Enthusiasm and effort go a long way in this league. I’m not writing McKirdy off yet like some, he needs to be played up front though in a two.

[badabing67]

Omeonga could be available,Livy looking to reduce budget.
When he plays generally they get positive results.

Watched they’re draw against hearts at Tynie on Alba,he was superb.
Never gave them a moments peace and was classy passing and linking,and most importantly done a lot of dirty work tracking back and putting them on the front foot.

Jack Ross must of had an opportunity to sign him before he went to Livi but never took it. I thought it was a big mistake at the time. He is out of contract at the end of the season, we could do much worse than getting him back. I think we should try and get him on a pre-contract. Or even try and get him now especially if Magennis is going to be out long term again.

I agree.

It's tough, because I appreciate they're our 2 best players but imo Hibs won't be able to move forward until Porteous and Nisbet leave the club.

The decline has been happening since they downed tools after taking the huff 2 years ago. Since then we've had inconsistent, temperamental football from the pair of them and somehow been made to feel like we should be grateful for it.

For the first time in a while we've got a fragmented dressing room and a club that seems to be totally disunited.

Losing the pair of them will be like ripping a plaster off. It's going to be painful and it's not going to come without it's problems but it will be the first step on the way to us actually moving in the right direction.

The recruitment team being trusted to replace them isn't an insignificant problem but it is a separate problem.

I can't wait to see the back of the pair of them.

I accept I'm probably alone in thinking that.

I agree. Ryan is a bit of a cock behind the scenes from what I've heard. I've always supported him but for a guy who makes a lot of individual errors it must stick in their craw when he tries to moan at them for making the same errors he does. KM can do one as well. I'm sick to death of his injuries.

Fragmented dressing room?

That’s up to the manager to resolve and in my view he is the problem.

Really hope the owner and ceo understand the fans frustrations and that we are in serious trouble because fans will start to get restless soon.

We need 2or 3 experienced players now to keep us up then have a major rethink in the summer re how we move forward.

[500miles]

I wonder if we're letting him go because we're worried about relapse. We certainly didn't budge last time.

There is going to be a meltdown. But I’m going to look at the bigger picture. There’s not much left to play for really.

Time to cash in on nisbet who’s never enjoyed it at hibs reslly.
Cash in on Porteous what we can get.
Get rid of garbage that are taking wages up.
Try promote a few kids in the door.
And let’s be honest Probaly need to muster a few more wins 5 maybe to stay clear of relegation.

It’s not going to be pretty and will be painful at first. But a total rebuild is needed. I have no interest in pointless loans from England or signing journeymen on deadline day.

Reset button is needed at this club and hopefully it will involve a new manager working with a DOF.

Great Post.

RP has continually looked out for himself. I don't buy the "should have been done 18m ago" narrative he is now using. I would not have given him a huge contract 18m ago - he was a bombscare! He has huge potential, but is self centred. He makes mistakes and just walks away, but screams at others in the team. I will be interested to see the defence without him. Not convinced we will ship more goals....

As for KN. He asked for a transfer 6 months into his contract with us and at the first sniff of a move.

Frankly I'm fed up of fans backing these two over the club. There is a way to get a big move and leave hibs in a good state. These 2 are doing the exact opposite.

:agree: Have to say I agree with that. Take the cash and move on. Particularly as another poster has said that KN has asked to leave again. He has 18 months left and clearly won't sign again. If he stays, he goes for pennies later and the club then get it tight for not selling when they had the chance.

[Gmack7]

Could do with another 1 or 2 clubs making a bid
