Winter 2022-23 transfer thread

[Ronniekirk]

It’s a strange one but LJ said he would not start him as he was suffering from a dead leg, surely that would affect his physical
GGTTH
There is an article now up on hibs news 24/7 where L J is stating it’s not true Nizzy failed his Medical
confirms he had a dead leg and hadn’t trained all week so that’s why he was on the bench But he fully expects him to start v Ross County
So wonder if the rumours from a lot of my Rangers supporting friends that he is going there this window are also untrue
If there is no medical issue and he keeps scoring his value will only rise as his contract isn’t up in the summer Clubs looking fir a proven scorer will still pay good money for him

[Callum_62]

GGTTHA medical isn't about short term issues it's more to distinguish concern against the financial outlay over the course of the contract

A dead leg would have no impact on a medical, they look at everything that's happened to a player over the course of a few years

[Bayern Bru]

I'm so confused. The guy who sits next to us at ER said LJ was interviewed before the game and said Nisbet failed the medical. I guess that's absolute bollocks then?!

He didn’t outright say that but I thought that’s what LJ seemed to be alluding to.

[ElginHibbie]

Could it maybe be that Nisbet didn’t fail medical but something did come up on it that made Millwall want to alter the contract?

Don’t want to add to conspiracies going around, I think if he had failed it outright that would be in the press

Whatever happened glad he’s still here and hope he still is come Wednesday

#paofc #panathinaikos #benfica #slbenfica

Looks to have had a decent career so far and looking at the club's he's played for, I'd imagine he'd be out of our reach wage wise. Never heard of him let alone seen him play, but based on his career to date, it seems he'd be an improvement on what we have.

[CapitalGreen]

Here’s the original Portuguese article which the story was sourced from - https://www.abola.pt/Clubes/2023-01-29/benfica-os-dois-clubes-na-linha-da-frente-para-o-emprestimo-de-ferro/974401/40

Translates to:

The permanent transfer of Germán Conti to Lokomotiv Moscow has opened up new possibilities for central defender Ferro, who may now be loaned out again.

Benfica had all the vacancies for transfers abroad completed and, therefore, was trying to permanently transfer the Portuguese centre-back. Ferro was loaned to Vitesse, but will leave the Dutch club.

Kansas City and two other clubs in the MLS, North American league, were interested in hiring, but there was no agreement. Panathinaikos, from Greece, and, above all, Hibernian, from Scotland, are at the forefront of receiving the 25-year-old centre-back on loan until the end of the season.

[CentreForward]

He sounds decent although he appears to have played very few senior games for a 25 year old.

[04Sauzee]

He sounds decent although he appears to have played very few senior games for a 25 year old.

[NC1875]

Hibs are 'leading the race' to land their ideal replacement for the recently departed Ryan Porteous.

The Easter Road side are chasing Benfica defender Fransisco Ferro, who they hope to sign on loan for the rest of the season.

The 25-year-old is currently on loan at Dutch top flight side Vitesse Arnhiem, but A Bola report that the Portuguese giants are looking to loan the defender to a different country for the second half of the season.

Hibs are in the market for another defender after Rocky Bushiri was ruled out for three months.

Benfica have knocked back offers from America and Greece for the stopper who's featured 96 times for their B side.

[Big_Franck]

I'd be very surprised if there was anything in the rumour of the Benfica player .

He looks huge. We need a big, strong centre half that is dominant in the air. We've not had one since McGregor really. Still can't see it, as I'd imagine he'll be out of our league, but you never know.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Aberdeen sign Watford CB Mattie Pollock on loan. Think we've missed a trick not partnering Pollock & Fish

[JimboHibs]

Hope there is truth in Ferro. Good pedigree.

And so does David Bates have a good pedigree on paper and he's of similar age.Im not saying Ferro isn't good but be careful what you wish for , if he was as good as led to believe.

[cameronw-hfc]

Looking at his stats, 2.43 touches in attacking penalty box, top 1% of centre backs. Maybe likes a goal then 😂. Ranks well for tackles but the rest look a bit meh. Very poor heading stats on FBref

[LunasBoots]

We've signed players more suited to Portuguese football before and they haven't handled the style difference here.

Was thinking who we would get in over the next 48hrsbor so and who we have been linked with

Findlay

Wonder if there are possibilities from the city group?

Also wonder if there may be any further movement out the way.

It does when I look at his wiki

13 appearances total but 4 are for Man City U21 in the Other column. So 9 for the first teams of Man City and Burnley

Edit: though those 4 appearances were in the EFL Trophy so were probably against first team players (unless two EPL/Championship U21 sides can get drawn together)

[04Sauzee]

That's not what his Wiki says.

Soccerbase has him playing 6 times for Burnley and 3 times for Man city , not sure how many minutes he got over those 9 games.

Edit 183 mins for Man City with 90 in the CL league against Spotting

282 minutes for Burnley

Provided we sign more experienced defenders then fair enough, good to have some backup.

However, this literally does fit the "young player on loan from English second/third tier side with hardly any competitive appearances" trope we've seen too many times over the years.

Don't think he's in any way comparable to what we've loaned in from England before.
I wish people would stop making sweeping generalisations on signing's from the same country.

There's nothing to suggest he'll either be a success or failure, let's judge him on how he does for us after more than one game, Will Fish evidence of making is look silly for judging a player after one game. Nathan Wood has also done very well since going back down south.

[overdrive]

Nathan Wood is 1st choice at Swansea now so he obviously had something about him. We just didn't pick him

He was awful when we did though. Although, Fish had one awful game out of position and was written off (by me included) and wasn't anywhere near as bad in his actual position at the weekend.

Johnson is actually the one that I don't think was as bad as a lot of folk made out. I think he looked OK against Celtic in his first game. Unfortunately, he then got a retrospective ban for a challenge in that game and never played again. IIRC, there was a bit of an outrage at the time that he got the ban. I think it coincided with a change of manager as well. Did Heckingbottom not get appointed after the Celtic game?

[Nicho87]

But hibs have signed this exact type of young player with a magnificent record on paper and every one in recent times absolutley brutal.

Another young inexperienced player . We already have Fish who's 19 maybe the lads very good though was hoping for more experienced players 24 ,25 ,26 . It's one of the mistake's I think we made in the summer signing to many young inexperienced young players. He's here now so good luck to him .

Don't think it has to specifically be done during the window, does it? He'll be registered as a Hibs player until the end of the season so we'll be able to do it later on. Agree we should be looking to do it sooner than later but it doesn't have to be before tomorrow. Maybe we've already been trying but Youan might want to wait, if he continues to play well he might get a better contract.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Just need to see how he goes really. Comes with a similar pedigree to a lot of the young guys we’ve signed from England recently. They’ve often not worked out but that’s not to say he won’t.

Aye he did https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/60666631

That's sporting club de Portugal?

Did he play against sporting lisboa benfica too?

[CapitalGreen]

He did though?

He did indeed but some football hipsters like to pull others up for using that English colloquial name rather than their full Portuguese name.

[Callum_62]

Can be done anytime. Technically he wouldn’t become our player until the summer if we done it outside the window but that wouldn’t make any actual difference.It does if it frees up space for another loan

Burnley fans saying very calm and composed on the ball and will do well for us. I'm happy with it.

Without having read any of the posts after this one, can I just point out that most fans of English clubs would rate their dug to make a go of it in the Scottish premiership. I remain firmly convince it's one of the reasons so many players from the EFL and EPL reserve teams have struggled to make an impact at Hibs ... even if it's unconsciously I cant help thinking they think they can skoosh it here and get a bit of a shock when it turns out not to as much of a stroll as they thought it was going to be.

Hope so

[Unseen work]

Nothing against the lad whatsoever as I’m sure he must have something about him but it’s just a bit deflating.

Young versatile centre half with extremely limited first team football coming in.

Linked with Wright, Findlay and Forro and sign this lad on loan.

Not the experience we had hoped for, quality will hopefully be up to the standard we need but a 20 year old on loan to compete with our 19 year old on loan isn’t exactly what I think the majority of fans think the squad need

[One Day Soon]

I'm all for signing younger guys with ability on loan, on loan with an option to buy or just signing outright provided they are going to be playing beside a larger number of more experienced players who will settle them in and help them on. If we don't do that however we are minimising the chances of those signings making it and developing.

We need a minimum of two signings in this window of players with some experience who are ready to go. We need many more than that really but I would say two is the minimum we can get away with given our injuries and the wafer-thin level of depth to our squad. Judging from Saturday's substitutions we might have had a better range of options already if we had been a bit more determined to bring on some of our own younger players before now.

I see the usual bedwetting already. For what its worth this is a good signing and he's more likely to play RB so Id assume Cadden is offski. Ive watched him for Citys youth team. Hes good, no need to panic.

I don’t think it‘a to do with where they came from, most of the players just weren’t good enough. It’s not as if the likes of Darnell Johnson and Daniel Boateng are now excelling elsewhere, they are at a level below Hibs.

One of the benefits of having an experienced DoF or Head of Recruitment is they will hopefully have strong contacts with clubs and scouts down south meaning you avoid getting the dross from these clubs. Our hit rate for young players signed and loaned from down south was excellent when John Park was here: Caldwell, Sheils, Morrow, Murphy, Rocastle, Hogg & McNeil all contributed to different degrees. Hearts have improved massively in this area since bringing in Savage & Lancefield, players like Cochrane, Simms, Kuol and Hill are much better than the type of dross they were getting on loan from down south previously.

Going into this window and with Porteous leaving and Rocky injured would you have said the you’d want a 20 year old with limited experience on loan?

It’s nothing against the boy himself and on an individual basis I have no issues with this type of signing.

I just think as a collective and where we’re at it’s not what I’d have picked. He might be brilliant.

I just feel like previous loans we’ve had of highly rated youngsters or our latest recruitment of young players doesn’t fill me with confidence.

Hopefully he turns out to be good business.

The one thing that gives me a bit of hope as it seems to be a signing through the city group contact that Johnson knows so surely comes very highly recommended

[hibsbollah]

Welcome to .net CJ.

[Torto7]

Hes like Carter Vickers, versatile. To me hes more likely to play for us at rightback. He played multiple positions for Citys youth team including CB/RB/DM. I think hes a right back myself.

I’ll judge him on his ability, age and experience is meaningless if the player in question is s***e. Hearts signed a 20 year old with no first team games played this season and he bossed it in the derby and Hearts are yet to concede a goal when he’s playing. Would they have been better with some late twenties journey man who can’t get off the bench for a League 1 side?

[LaMotta]

Welcome to the club CJ, I hope you're not reading the usual negative pish on here.

Yeh mate, but it's not unjustified negativity is it.

We've had a number of players from the EFL and reserve EPL players on loan who have struggled to make an impact at Hibs. No it doesn't mean the next one up is bound to follow their example, but we have reached the stage with this sort of signing where their CV with stuff like one game in a dead rubber in the UCL, being capped at every level for England bar the first team, or they were captain of Liverpool reserves for 2 seasons doesn't impress us any more .... we are very much at the point where the only way to form an opinion on these guys is to actually see them play.

So yeh, welcome to Hibs CJ. I hope you knock it out the park and we're all greetin' come May when we realise the club can't afford to keep you ... but yer gonna have to make that happen yourself.

[Donegal Hibby]

Welcome to the club CJ, I hope you're not reading the usual negative pish on here.
I don't think it's negative pish to have concerns about signing another young player with our track record in the summer. I do think at the moment it's worrying that our only senior center half is Paul Hanlon, if he gets injured we are left with a 19 and 20 who have played less than 20 first team games between them . Anyhow hopefully the club are looking into getting some experienced players in and not going down the route they did in the summer .

[Is It On....]

Genuine question, asking out of interest

Do we still have a formal partnership with Brighton?

That's a very interesting question. Given what they have done in the last 5 years, in particular their very professional and successful systematic recruitment strategy , I really hope we do.

You say this but as soon as it doesn’t work out people slaughter the recruitment team for signing untested youngsters.

Remember how excited everyone was about Tavares, Hauge, Melkersen, Kenneh etc? Majority off those guys have been wrote if already and recruitment slated to a certain degree

Johnson also said he wanted guys in who are ready to go, this has guys played a couple of games this season?

[Hibees1973]

Not surprised this is all our recruitment team have managed to get in, particularly in central defence. There is a day to go so there may be another central defender, hopefully. We were light even before Porteous left and Bushiri got injured.

A competent recruitment team would have signed full-backs who have the flexibility to play in central defence. However, Lewey, Cabraja and Cadden are nowhere near being competent central defenders.

In the last 2 or 3 transfer windows most central defenders signed have been inexperienced, similar to this guy. Seem to have a blind spot with Centre Halfs down at East Mains.

If we do have a relationship with Brighton and Hove Albion it's in the same ball park as Britain's 'special relationship' with the USA or the Auld Alliance. It might have been a thing at one point, but in reality at's about as useful as a pop gun in a tank battle.

We’ve also signed older, experienced players who haven’t been good enough in Cabraja, Mueller, Mitchell etc. The problem is we have signed too many players who aren’t good enough to contribute to the first team straight away regardless of their age. Whether a player is 19 or 29, the only thing that matters isn’t terms of contributing to the first team is their level of ability.

[GreenCastle]

I want experience as much as anyone but Egan Riley is definitely a good player.

He's 6ft so not small.

Think more like Harry Clarke.

He's got a good football IQ so obviously LJ will like him as he was in Man City youth academy for years and played 1st team at City year over a year ago.

I do hope we bring in a couple more ideally permanent deals.

Ehhh he can play CH, RB and Holding Mid so doesn’t that blow your flexibility theory? Also this isn’t a recruitment team player it’s LJ who’s wanting him in as knew him from down south. As with another couple we are trying to get over the line relax. Judge the boy on how he does not his age, not cause we have signed previous players from down south who weren’t good for us, on his own merit.

Need more.

1 experienced CH minimum, ideally 2 and midfielder.
When you consider Magennis can't stay fit, MacIntyre is a left back and Henderson adds no value. JDH somewhere between out of favour and missed most of the season injured. 1 midfielder minimum.

Johnson said at least a couple. Also quaity ready to go which isn't Egan-Riley's CV so there should be more to come

*Egan-Riley might prove to be a good signing and have quality but is not the type of experienced quality Johnson was adamant we would be in for.

Latest from the EEN. Experienced defender still wanted but that aside seems we are relying on youth.

Really hope this isn't true. Still need a creative forward thinking midfielder

Pleased we’re not signing Findlay. Shame about the other two as they sounded decent I think.
And yet people were falling over to get Findlay on board, he's achieved the square root of f all since he left Killie.

To go into rest of the season with 2 players on loan and Hanlon would be mental at centre-back.

Happy there is finally some talk about trying to implement some of the younger guys into the first team. High hopes to Aitken, Laidlaw, O'Connor, Blaney, O.McIntyre with good reports on Rudi M, McAllister and others at that age group.

Nah, I don't believe that Johnson telling us there would be at least a couple ready to go first team quality players was just deflection when we were under the cosh.

Now.. where's that Director of football gone!...

[JammyDoidger]

It's really looking like we are skint. Where is the money we were going to give Porto? And the wages for all the guys that have left during this window?

I'm sure it was purple in the away leg

Correct, one of the finest displays of total football i ever seen, in that second half, doon the slope, magic.

Maybe waiting on a director of football. LJ might not be his/her cup of tea.Recruitment team the same. Why would we be splashing cash before that is up and running. We are not skint.

[Onceinawhile]

Looking for just a CH doesn't seem like enough for me.

But if it means more game time for the boys coming through the academy, then I can live with it.

That is really worrying imo.

I don’t want to sound negative but we can’t get carried away with the Aberdeen result.

We still need quality in this window in a couple of areas

Feel like whoever is manager says the same towards the end of every window to lower expectations, will wait and see what happens in next 36 hours before I start worrying

Deji Oshilaja?

"Reports that Hibs have had a bid rejected for Burton Albion’s Deji Oshilaja are wide of the mark" - a bit ambiguous?

Don't need to sign someone on a 4 year deal but just add that extra experience on loan with a higher wage even. Can't just put the season on hold for a DOF that we haven't yet got in the door.

Yep what does that mean? We didn't bid, we may bid, we bid and it was accepted. As you say needs a bit clarification

Not ambiguous. Because it follows that up by saying Ferro is ALSO not an option.

We're not in for him.

I'm really nervous about saying anything positive about the current team and club as a whole just now.
