Winter 2022-23 transfer thread

[Unseen work]

Interesting its Caldwell taking him to Exeter.

Must be a big fan after his time here

[04Sauzee]

Looks like Mitchell off to Exeter going by Twitter (I know, I know)

Managed by Gary Caldwell 🤔 is ita case of someone speculating because of the Hibs connection?

[Bayern Bru]

[cabbageandribs1875]

hope there's no 'friendly' planned with millwall, it's bad enough having Sevco animals on the streets of Edinburgh once/twice during the season

Only if we get a friendly out of it, if not they can **** off.

[.Sean.]

I can genuinely say I’ve never felt so distant and disengaged with the club. What the **** is actually going on. Doesn’t even feel like Hibs anymore

[LunasBoots]

Sevco and Millwall have a wee link up now, that would be carnage, think someone needs to tell those in charge since they seem to have no clue.

[Jim44]

My sentiments exactly. I can’t ever remember feeling such indifference, even when we were in deep relegation trouble and racing towards the Championship.

[S4uzee]

Likewise. One of the worst times in my lifetime supporting the club

[MrSmith]

Same but I'm in the total mess camp! I really can't see how we get out of this hole we are in. No players to build a team around and the identity has been crushed. My apathy towards Hibs has increased 100 fold! I am also in the Ron, sell Hibs please camp.

[007]

Is this not good news? A player that's hardly played moving on.

[staunchhibby]

Same here as a long time supporter I get the impression the club are not interested in keeping there support.I honestly think this will be proved when season ticket renewal is due.

[SHODAN]

All the best to Mitchell, they'll get at least one good performance out of him down there.

[flash]

Amusing to see people yearn for all the years of under investment and misery of times gone by.
Presumably it wasn't Hibs anymore when we got relegated and couldn't even get back up.
Or when they tried to cart us off to Straiton.
Or when we lost a national Cup final 5-1 to our local rivals.
It's the supporters that make a football club the rest is transient.

[SHODAN]

Is their any purpose behind this meaningless friendly beyond getting the fans to cough up to make up for a piss poor deal? Tin pot beyond belief.

I'll go if it's free. Not going to pay part of the fee we should have recieved for Porteous on Watford's behalf, sorry.

Me too, if i knew how to unsubscribe from all the bull**** the club send me i would.

[SHODAN]

I'd like to believe that there's some masterplan ala the Kamberi/Allan window of 2018 to get real quality in but I can't see past a couple of deadline day loan signings.

Relegation a real possibility now, and I think if that happens Gordon will sell up.

Fair comments but surely you must see how different this is? It feels as though we are simply a play thing and that the fabric of the club is diminishing rapidly. As well as this, we are managed by complete incompetents who appear to have no idea how to build a team nor get in the right players. More significantly, we had hope in regards to each of your comments, that has gone!

Just now we’re in a bad way, but it is largely due to shambolic execution of a recruitment strategy that was supposed to take us forward.

We appear to be clearing the decks to sort that situation out, which is great in theory but pretty terrifying (not literally) when you realise who’s replacing the players heading out.

Porto and Nisbet going are business decisions, i don’t know if Nisbet agitated for the move but I guess Hibs knew we weren’t going to extend his contract and so cashing in is the smart move from that sense - potentially from a football sense as well, depending on how strongly Nisbet felt about going.

It feels like we’re at a tipping point, the next few days will decide whether we go over the edge or recover. I’m not convinced the people in charge are competent enough to recover.

[GreenCastle]

All the best to Mitchell, they'll get at least one good performance out of him down there.

Mitchell will hopefully leave Hibs.

He has only played just 9 games for Hibs - 60 mins of football this season - Easy money for him.

He played 29 games for Hearts.

[Broken Gnome]

Same here as a long time supporter I get the impression the club are not interested in keeping there support.I honestly think this will be proved when season ticket renewal is due.

That would be fine if it made any sense - I agree they're seemingly alienating everyone, but really, what's the point in it?

Utterly bizarre period, and it does really need some clarification. If they're that keen on corporate chat, you can frame it as the Gordon's customer base requiring an a series trading update as they run the risk of losing a huge amount of season ticket income.

Never takes much to get a football support back onside. They're barely trying.

Totally agree.

I like some of the posters saying it so I don’t want to be too disrespectful about it but there’s a touch of the drama queens going on here.

We’re a bit ***** now, that’s all it is and we’ve been ***** most of my lifetime. The Gordon’s haven’t come in and destroyed some successful set up we had going on before. They’ve tried a different strategy to the one that’s not worked for most of the last 30 years but they’ve employed the wrong people in important places. There’s a plan to fix it though with a new director of football coming in and there’ll be a new manager soon too IMO.

Selling good players isn’t some new phenomenon either, it happens. Hopefully we replace them well but if we don’t, again that’s not something exclusive to the Gordon’s, we made ***** signings in the previous regime too.

I think everyone needs to calm down to a panic until the last hour of the transfer window and then we can all throw our toys out the pram together.

[Hiber-nation]

More significantly, we had hope in regards to each of your comments, that has gone!

But results, performances and attendances have been far far worse then this at various times in the last 10/20/30 years or even back to the late 70s/early 80s when we had 3,500 rattling about Easter Road. Aye it's chronic mismanagement and the signing policy unacceptable but as far as wanting to go along to watch Hibs I'm still looking forward to Saturday and there's plenty times I honestly couldn't say that.

[GreenCastle]

Totally agree.

Do you feel we have hit "rock bottom" and we are now moving forward?

Do you not enjoy your daily email offers of ball trimmers and boiler cover?

[Broken Gnome]

My sentiments exactly. I can’t ever remember feeling such indifference, even when we were in deep relegation trouble and racing towards the Championship.

There's almost a perverse interest for me in seeing how bad this could get. We're in the midst of a huge self-inflicted mess, might as well go the whole hog and make it truly memorable.

I truly cared about going down in the Butcher season because it was unthinkable to actually go with Hearts rather than lord it over them for a season or two. This - hard to explain the feeling, even if relegation would/could be disastrous.

[bingo70]

Do you feel we have hit "rock bottom" and we are now moving forward?

No, I think we hit rock bottom a couple of times under the previous regime when we got relegated and got pumped 5-1 in a cup final off Hearts.

I think we’re just a pish team just now but nothing a few good signings and a bit leadership from a good manager wouldn’t fix.

Re you’re last paragraph - there’s a bit of me that thinks they might be clearing the decks to get rid of as much unhappiness, talent that’s simply not offering us anything and players who will actually generate funds or free wages with a view to actually spending properly on players who will offer us something more substantial - with a bit of time left at the end of the window to find those players.

Past performance of the people entrusted with that process certainly hasn’t won our trust but is it maybe a logical explanation in the absence of any communication?

[GreenCastle]

No, I think we hit rock bottom a couple of times under the previous regime when we got relegated and got pumped 5-1 in a cup final off Hearts.

I think we’re just a pish team just now but nothing a few good signings and a bit leadership from a good manager wouldn’t fix.

I actually meant rock bottom with this group / team. Do we think LJ and the club will start showing signs of improvement after months of decline?

[Carheenlea]

In the unlikely event of any friendly actually happening between Hibs and Watford it will 100% be behind closed doors.

Who would even consider buying a ticket for a ticket for what is a patronising offer from Watford, and humiliatingly accepted by Hibs as part of any deal? I’d like to think Hibs will tell them to behave.

Porteous will be sold and we’ll never hear anything more about Watford.

[Big_Franck]

Accepting 450k for Porteous when Rocky is potentially out long term and only having an ageing Paul Hanlon at centre back (I'm not counting Fish) is suicide.

We'll no doubt replace Porteous with some numpty from league 1 on loan on 31st January. Getting relegated will cost us far more than the £2.5/£3m we're going to accept for currently our two most important players.

Smartie, the more logical explanation as they have already repeatedly demonstrated is simply that they're crap at this. The bit of time at the end of the last window when we badly needed two or three quality signings - particularly for midfield - got us McKirdy. They're clueless.

[bingo70]

I actually meant rock bottom with this group / team. Do we think LJ and the club will start showing signs of improvement after months of decline?

Don’t know.

I’ve got no faith in LJ, I think he’s an erse. I can understand why the club aren’t sacking him though, on paper we’re not that far away from being in a European spot. As long as we’re this close I get why the club need to give him every chance of succeeding. It’s easy for us to say to sack him but we’ve not got to deal with the financial consequences of that or deal with finding his replacement.

I think it’s not impossible he could turn it around with a couple of good signings, I don’t think he will though.

If we stick with him until the end of the season my prediction is we’ll finish 8th.

I’m not sure if that means I think we’ve bottomed out or answers your question but that’s where I think we are just now.

[Real Emerald]

Not that I want to hear anymore BS spin from Kensell but it would be interesting to know what the strategy is for the remainder of the season. Getting rid of the deadwood they signed is fair enough, getting rid (selling) our top players as well with nothing as yet coming in is really worrying. It feels like there’s more going on in the background than just plain incompetence. We’ll just have to wait and see TBH.

Excellent post Matty and exactly how I see things too. I did however briefly misread your post thinking you had inside info on who was coming in before realising you were referring to our existing / failed recruitment team. I am trying to be optimistic but the 2022/23 rollercoaster is proving even bumpier than I feared. GGTTH

I think there is a difference just now. Yes we have been bad before, worse than the current situation, but at least people felt anger/passion for the club. At the moment some fans are feeling disconnected. Its like the passion for the club has been sucked out of them. I realise not everyone feels the same but a sizeable chunk defo feel this way sadly.

[Eaststand]

I can genuinely say I’ve never felt so distant and disengaged with the club. What the **** is actually going on. Doesn’t even feel like Hibs anymore

I agree with you Sean.

I've been going to watch our team since the late 60's and although we have had some really crappy squads and lots of sub standard players, I've never felt so disengaged with our club as I do now.
Unfortunately I know of a few other dyed in the wool Hibbies who feel exactly the same as I do.

It's tragic how far we seem to have regressed in a fairly short period of time, so I really hope the brakes can somehow be applied to stop this chasm between supporters and Club becoming any wider.

Ron/Ian/Ben, it's up to you guys to sort this mess pronto, and to communicate effectively with us fans to convince us that you have a Plan B

[bingo70]

I think our squad is better than they are showing just now.

If we had a competent manager getting the most out of them instead of calling them deadwood and hanging them out to dry in public to save his own skin, then the squad wouldn’t look as bad as it currently is.

We’ve now got two senior players who were desperate to leave about to leave the club, imo that could well be like a dark cloud being removed from above East Mains. When people don’t want to be there it’s draining and will have had an effect on the atmosphere IMO. I wouldn’t bet a lot of money on it however I think it’s entirely possible with a couple of good signings this could be a line in the sand moment and we could start to get better from here.

I don’t think that will happen because of the manager but it’s not outwith the realms of possibility.

Absolutely bizarre what is going on. Most clubs just after being pumped out the cup by our city rivals at home would be trying their best to appease the fans rather than selling our two best players and anyone else they can get rid of. Got to be a couple first team starters coming in before Saturday. Never seen anything like it to be honest.

How many games did he actually play for us? 10 if you are lucky? Interested to know how he passed a medical given the number of injuries he apparently had! Or was there something else going on? I thought he could have done a job for us but nowhere near reliable enough.

[Rumble de Thump]

Poor Exeter fans think it’s a great signing
I wonder if we negotiated a sell on fee🤔

The BBC report says it's a free transfer but Gary Caldwell he's been chasing him for the whole transfer window, so you'd think Hibs will get something out of it somehow.

Usually I think calling someone a "wage thief" is out of order. I think it really applies to Mitchell. He seemed to have absolutely no interest in playing football. All about his tinpot clothing line. Good luck to Exeter fans.

Well we've now freed up a treatment table, so you never know.

[A Hi-Bee]

I agree with you Sean.

I've been going to watch our team since the late 60's and although we have had some really crappy squads and lots of sub standard players, I've never felt so disengaged with our club as I do now.
Unfortunately I know of a few other dyed in the wool Hibbies who feel exactly the same as I do.

It's tragic how far we seem to have regressed in a fairly short period of time, so I really hope the brakes can somehow be applied to stop this chasm between supporters and Club becoming any wider.

Ron/Ian/Ben, it's up to you guys to sort this mess pronto, and to communicate effectively with us fans to convince us that you have a Plan B

Me, since early 1960's and just very disengaged for sure, strange as the passion for my team has been eroded over a while and dont see things getting better, that eejit of a manager needs to go for sure. No renew of season ticket, just a sad state of affairs for my old team.

Accepting 450k for Porteous when Rocky is potentially out long term and only having an ageing Paul Hanlon at centre back (I'm not counting Fish) is suicide.

We'll no doubt replace Porteous with some numpty from league 1 on loan on 31st January. Getting relegated will cost us far more than the £2.5/£3m we're going to accept for currently our two most important players.

Know it’s already been rubbished but something like this would make sense in this window IMO.

I don’t see any point in us trying to do anything longer term until the DoF is in place then we hopefully start recruiting properly in the summer. Some solid loan players that know the league and make sure nothing daft happens is about the best we can hope for in the next few days IMO.

I totally agree, he looked good in his first few games and then disappeared for one reason or another. It was a very bizarre signing at the time and moving him on is the best decision.

It's a dreadful term. Unless there's evidence that he was faking injury to not play then it's just an unfair and untrue term used by fans. He could also have refused to move and kept on taking the Hibs cash but he left did he not?

If we are cashing in best we can with two of our most valuable players, I'm not sure I want the decision makers that got us to this point deciding how its spent. Goes against the grain for me, but think we should look at loans and keep the money best we can for when we are in a better place regards DoF, Manager, I don't see LJ being that manager, up to him to prove me wrong.

Transfer deadline is Tuesday Hibs are playing who will be making the panic buys then.

[Trinity Hibee]

Wonder where the transfer centre app was getting 301k from ?

Maybe we paid them 300k to take him?

I think Will Fish gets an incredibly hard time from Hibs fans. Yes he made a horrific mistake against Hearts but I honestly think people think he's about 28 years old.

I bet any 19 year old coming through the Hibs youth set up would get a much easier time.

He's looked ok on the few other occasions he's played.

Maloney linked with the Wigan job.

Watch him do amazing

No doubt Magennis will be free, could give him something to do.

[Scotty Leither]

Transfer centre app saying Mitchell went for 301 grand.....

Some agent he must have. Jesus.

I think it must have been 300k pesetas.

Agreed. Unlike Johnson, Maloney is a decent guy. I wish he’d been a bit more pragmatic with us, but I think back to our performance in the semi, especially when you consider who he had available.

‘Johnson and his backroom and recruitment teams have been working hard on defensive and striking replacements over the past 24 hours. They have identified a number of permanent and loan targets, as they wait to see what funds they will get from the sales of Nisbet and Porteous, and Johnson wants to get players in before Saturday’s home clash with struggling Aberdeen.’

Wouldn't be so sure
I think we should have more ambition than signing the likes of Declan Gallagher if he had been a decent player he would still be at Aberdeen rather than have his contract terminated by the Dons , if he's not good enough for them surely he's isn't for us too?

Hibs main site says undisclosed.

In what way is Johnson not a decent guy?

Maloneys post match interviews were full of absolute tripe

[Nicho87]

Rangers fan on Twitter suggesting arfield is in discussions with us, loan with option to make permanent.

[Ray_]

Remember in the early 1970's we went to the Den for a friendly and there was a load of aggro
Millwall chairman said we were animals !!

That was 1990!

It’s great to hear they’ve put a lot of planning into it, a whole 24 hours. 😂

Looking to forward to us announcing loan deals on the final day. 😂

[keep the faith]

I hope we try for Jamie MacLaren.

I thought reading through this thread we already had a list of targets all sitting waiting on the window opening. Seems like they’ve started revising the night before the exam, who would have guessed? 😂

[Chorley Hibee]

Don't get the talk about MacLaren, thought he was rubbish in his second spell with us.

[JamesHFC]

Australia seems to be the perfect fit for him.

He was

Not his fault. Done in his back and when he got fit Lenny said he couldn't trust him. Was that not around Lennys meltdown anyway? Done alright everywhere besides that second spell at us. Give him chances and he'll score goals.

[IberianHibernian]

Looking to forward to us announcing loan deals on the final day. 😂I hope any signings we make are loan deals . Preferably with an option to buy . Loan players are far more likely to be better than what we`ve got now . Give us time to make longer term signings in summer .

Haven't seen anyone say we're after him. Just that they want us to go for him.

I’m in total agreement with that in the situation we find ourselves in. Whilst we should have had a proper recruitment plan and strategy to strengthen this window we are now clearly passed all that. Our priority now is to plug gaps best we can until we do have a proper strategy and plan to recruit properly. The rumour (which I can’t really believe) of a loan signing of Arfield would be exactly the type of player that would work perfectly, as an example.

Always like McLaren, his goalscoring record since he left us is fantastic, way out our budget now sadly so can forget that one.

[Vault Boy]

If the 37 squad number is filled by Saturday, I’ll feel a tiny bit better about things.

Although we’d still need a striker to pass the ball to and a centre back to clear the lines…

I was hoping his scoring record and the Aussie connection may have made this a go-er.

Absolute finisher with fantastic movement and positioning. Its the sort of higher quality signing we should be looking at.
