Summer transfer thread 2023

[Unseen work]

Myko and Boruc signed apparently.

Where you hearing this?

Myko permanent?

[JimBHibees]

I'd take James Penrice from livi

Nah

[dmc1875]

Myko permanently would be unreal business imo

It would be amazing business. The potential he has I never thought there was a chance we could get him permanently, regardless of the injuries. Hope that’s true.

From the Wycombe forum

Jeezo, that was actually quite refreshing. Most of them seemed to be sad he was leaving which is always good, but more pertinently there was next to none of the usual ill informed and arrogant 'step down' nonsense, so fair play to the Wycombe supporters. Wish them all the best next season, a set of fans who clearly aren't as up themselves as some.

Oh and PS ... Welcome to Hibs Mr Obita ... I hope you know what you've gotten yourself in to :greengrin

[hibby67]

I fully suspect Lewis will see off Obita. I don’t even really need to see Obita play to know that.

If he Obita is a good left back then I think Jimmy Jeggo should be ****ting himself … move Stevenson into a holding midfielder

[ErinGoBraghHFC]

Jeggo has nothing to worry about, he’ll start every game he’s eligible for next season. We’ve been a far better team since he’s come in and that’s pretty clear to see by our upturn in form

Bloody Norah ... Jeggo did have a couple of dodgy games last season, but by and large he did ok, if your solution to whatever problems we might have in midfield is a player on the verge of retirement who has played midfield about 4 times in the last 10 years then heaven help us next season.

Welcome Jordan, and good to see someone join the club who has had the benefit of an Oxford education.

You should have worked out by now that usually on here newly signed players are immediately adjudged to fall into one of two categories.

1 Pure Dead Brilliant…or

2 Absolute shte

Also, that it is not considered necessary to have seen the player in action before deciding which category they are to be placed in, and if they have not seen your name previously in the Daily Record, will be initially very suspicious.

If rumours are to believed, my view at this point:

GK: Marshall, Boruc*

RB: Miller, TBC [Cadden Inj]
CB: Fish, TBC, Delfierre
CB: Hanlon, Rocky
LB: Obita, Stevenson

DM: Jeggo, Kenneh
CM: Newell, JDH
CM: TBC, Campbell

RW: Boyle, McKirdy
LW: Youan, Mackay
CF: Kuchy, ALF, Melkerson

Out on loan: Megwa, MacIntyre, Tavares

Out on a perm: Henderson, Tait, Hauge

Makes it 3 to bring in, and 3 to find new homes for.

If the Fish and Kuharevych rumours are true I would say it’s a more decent start to the window.

A lot of the signings might have been here last season but losing Fish, Kuharevych and Youan would have made us a lot weaker and three unknown replacement would have taken time to settle in and be no guarantee of being good.

We have hopefully strengthened left back and Le Fondre should chip in with some goals. Confirm Kuharevych and Fish and we are two more signings (CM and a striker) away from having a really good team and importantly for a season with European football, much of the squad should be ready to hit the ground running.

We went down the route of signing young players or "projects" last season and it was pretty much a disaster until we got to the January window. I'm pleased with who we've brought in so far. I'm actually very comfortable about this window and will just let it run its course. We'll have a few others in the door by the time we play the European game.

Nah not having that, Claros was excellent on the ball, had a good first touch and could certainly pass more than 5 yards.

Watching jeggo when we're in possession is painful, his touch and passing are so poor.

Happy to have him as an option in the squad for when games against the old firm or tricky away ties, but in games where we're expected to dominate possession we need someone better on the ball.

There's no reason we shouldn't be able to find a deep midfielder who's almost as good as him defensively but much better on the ball.

[green day]

Yes.

We also have a player at a great age at LB (where we only now had players at either end of the age spectrum in the squad), and a proven goalscorer as cover up front.

It seems clear that McDermott identified these areas and acted quickly which is good work.

It will also be obvious to him that we need a main striker and CH - hopefully those are big Mike and Fish, but I assume other targets will be on the radar.

It will also be clear to him that the midfield needs goals and creativity.

Its the 23rd of June, and not 23rd of August - I think the trajectory is looking good :aok:

Sent from my Pixel 7 Pro using Tapatalk

[FitbaFolkKen]

Livvy had 10 men for most of the second half, and we were getting beat against Celtic when he got taken off at half time.

There waa hardly any difference in points per game between pre Jeggo ( 1.23) and Post Jeggo ( 1.37). Nisbets return far more influential in gaining points than anything Jeggo done.


I said Kenneh will end up non league in England, not Jeggo! :greengrin

These stats don't paint the full picture of the impact the January changes made to the team. Yes, if you take our ppg for the season it is 1.37, however if you split it into the 22 games before he joined and then the 16 after(he only played 15) then we can see how major the turnaround was.

27 points out of 22 games 1.22 = 41 points = 9th place

25 points out of 16 games 1.56 = 59 points = 3rd place

Had we continued the same rate we were, 9th place was the result.

The form after signing Jeggo had it been maintained for a full season would have seen us finish 3rd.

Hardly any difference is a massive misrepresentation of the job the management team did in January. The significance of Jeggo could be argued but he clearly played a role in that improvement.

Gives me real hope if we get the manager what he wants in the summer.

[EGL2000]

Any chance of a significant fee from mcginn looking very slim now. Does up his value if someone wants to nab him though.

I think Boruc is coming in as a cheap 3rd choice/development team keeper to replace Carter. Johnson would have had this role but we’d prefer him to get experience hence the loan.

Marshall will be away at the end of the season, and Johnson will be back from his loan. Will be competing for being first choice at that point, hopefully.

Seeing guys with decent experience and alot of games under their belt gives me a bit more comfort that they are less of an unknown, we know what we're getting and that they are good enough to contribute. Good signs that we are addressing areas of the team that we would all agree need addressing and early.

I'd never heard of either player, but it rarely works out well when we sign players english league one and two. I fear McDermott might be underestimating the level required to get 3rd place in the premiership.

Obita seems to have been highly regarded by Wycombe fans, which is a good sign. Really not sure signing a sub keeper from the English third tier is going to improve us though.

(1) Charlton Athletic FC on Twitter: "Best of luck, @JJWollacott 👊 The goalkeeper has completed a permanent transfer to Hibernian for undisclosed terms 🤝 🔴⚪️ #cafc" / Twitter (https://twitter.com/CAFCofficial/status/1672182710826151937?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5 Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1672182710826151937%7Ctwgr% 5E472c18fb7a54fc75d461403d34df8653a51eca9f%7Ctwcon %5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fintothevalley.proboards.com% 2Fthread%2F27417%2Fsummer-transfer-window-rumours-thread%3Fpage%3D32)

There isn't a hope in hell that we will sign Dykes.

Aye okay.

He only played 15 times last season, sure Marshall will still be our first choice

He was starting every game and set to go to the World Cup until his finger injury.

[I'm Spartacus]

That'll be where the Theo Walcott rumour came from then.

I mean, you have to laugh! :)

[Vault Boy]

20 in all comps and only lost his place due to injury. Charlton fans are not happy he’s leaving.

[Sioux]

Oh ffs, he'll now be regarded as being injury prone :faf:

[Since452]

Ah the back up goalkeeper. The least glamorous signing of them all. Welcome to the Hibees!

[Brightside]

I hope he's the new number 1 and we can go back to an outfield player with the arm band.

[1875Sean]

If you look at the comments on yeh Charlton page there is a coupe there saying was never going to stay as second choice etc so sounds like he hasn’t number 1 or they signed a number 1

[AlbertK86]

They all don’t need to be superstars just improve us.
Just because we’ve not heard of them doesn’t mean they are poor players.
David Murphy, Rob Jones, David Gray & Marvin Bartley?? Give them a chance

So if we sign Fish and Myko I would say we’ve had a really
Great start to transfer window with more potentially out and in!

I think I’ll also disagree with you that BM is underestimating
The league.

I really do wonder who folk expect us to sign.

Three year deal, transfer fee, plays international football. Absolutely no chance he’s here to sit on the bench.

Think one of the main reasons he left Charlton was for game time as he wants to be in the Ghana squad.

[brog]

Jeggo has nothing to worry about, he’ll start every game he’s eligible for next season. We’ve been a far better team since he’s come in and that’s pretty clear to see by our upturn in form


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I'm not sure JJ will be an automatic starter. In his last 3 games he was subbed after an hour once and at half time twice. It may all depend on how expansive we want to be and of course who we sign.

[JohnM1875]

Have to wonder why he didn't get back into the team after his injury though.

Just had a look and the keeper he couldn't shift was Ashley Maynard-Brewer, who was apparently on loan to Ross Couty in the 20/21 season and played 17 times. Can't say I remember him

Can’t say I overly remember him either, seen a lot of Charlton fans appear equally as surprised as they think Wollacott is better than him.

Think some of their thinking is Maynard Brewer is younger and may grow with potential

My Charlton season ticket holding mate said:
"Good keeper. Was due to go to world cup with Ghana but bust his finger. The stand in (an Aussie from our youth setup) did great so he never got back in. We were always going to go with the cheaper option"

Cheers.

Suppose it's like our situation when Rocky was out injured. Bogdan came in, played well and kept the gloves after Rocky was back fit.

Just a case of two similar levels of keeper and Maynard-Brewer didn't give them a reason to drop him.

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

If he’s an international … it’s African Cup of Nations year isn’t it so he will be missing for a few weeks

[Scouse Hibee]

Ghana didn't qualify.

Now that is a signing I can get excited about! From Man City so it'll only be a loan. Make it happen, Hibs!

I'll be honest haven't seen much of him, obviously know he's with Man City and has caps at U21 level for Scotland, I think he's even trained with the Scotland 1st team. Does he score goals or more of a creator of chances?

[MagicSwirlingShip]

I’ve only ever seen the odd highlight here and there on social media. These clips are pretty encouraging: https://youtu.be/a_SlFtZMyr8

Had a decent goal return for NAC and Lincoln, doesn’t seem to have played as much for Blackpool.

[EGL2000]

Looks to be a good signing. Will miss him for a month or so when the African cup of Nations is on though!

No idea who he is but he sounds the business

Give it a rest

[RossScott1991]

McGinn signing another contract at Villa. Had hope he’d have made a big move to a Utd or Liverpool in his time down there. But now it looks like that won’t ever happen for any sell on and we’ve sold ourselves way short originally

[supermcginn]

The new goalkeeper will absolutely be first choice I wouldn't be surprised to see Marshall leave next week.

[madhatter]

Give it a rest

With what exactly? Sharing a view?

Not many tbh. Just saying he's not looked brilliant when I've seen him in Scotland youth teams. Maybe I'm his jinx.

Aye he was honking the first time I watched him for the u21, might have been his debut though. But he's looked good the other few times I've seen him.

Just turned 21 and managed 13 games in the English Championship last season. One to get excited about for me. Class surname as well.

[MWHIBBIES]

Rather he kept his soul.

He wouldn't get a game for Newcastle ahead of Bruno and tonali anyway tbh.

Calling someone garbage who you've probably seen once in youth football. Boring

He wouldn't get near Newcastle's midfield.

Played 90 minutes when villa ran over them 3-0 in April.

I don't think the saudi-toon path is one John would ever take but he can compete with the best on his day that's for sure.

Read my post again. I don't think I've actually called him garbage. I've said he's always looked garbage when I've watched him.

Subtle difference. Just enough for you to see a scandal I guess...

[Fergus52]

He wouldn't get near Newcastle's midfield.

Longstaff and Willock both got a lot of minutes last season, McGinn is better than both.

Don't think there's much between him and Joelinton either.

[Since452]

I don't think madhatter should be crucified for giving his opinion on a player...

[NAE NOOKIE]

No sign of a marquee signing yet then, but what we do appear to be doing is going for players with actual match experience on their CV.

Le Fondre: Might be on the veteran side of things, but he does have a pretty good scoring record.

Obita: Has good experience at a decent level.

Youan: We know what he can do and if he gets better we've won a watch.

Wollacott: The Charlton fans seem to like him and if he's getting a game for Ghana he must be a reasonable keeper you would think.

The thing is we already have players from lower league England here in the likes of Newell, Jeggo and McKirdy, it's not as if these new guys will be short of advice from players who have had it shown to them that playing in Scotland isn't the cake walk they might have thought it was going to be, so there's no excuse for being unprepared on that front.

Don't know about signing Mykola on a permanent, but another season long loan would give him the chance to realise the potential he seems to have, hoping we get that done. Fish is beginning to look a bust, I can't help thinking if he was going to sign up at least until January he would have done it by now, hope I'm wrong. But if he doesn't Rocky was starting to look decent until his injury, perhaps he will continue on that trajectory.

All that being said. We still need a starting striker, two midfield players better than what we have, one defensive minded and one forward thinking, a centre half and cover at right back for Miller and that's probably a minimum. Don't think Brian McDermott is gonna' be getting much sleep, or our bank manager for that matter and that is the biggest worry, it could simply end up the case that we can't afford the team we would like to build.

McGinn & Tierney would take Newcastle up a notch & would connect well with the fans in the stands imo

Last year we signed a lot of unknown potential with the hope it would come good. This year we seem to be concentrating on players that BM or LJ have personal experience of and know exactly what they offer. Sounds like a better plan to me

Like this post

For my 2p, the delay with Fish could be about Man U's takeover situation, meaning no permanent sales can be sanctioned til.its resolved? Just a guess, no Intel.

And Forini is an interesting one.

Looks to me a classic for a Youan style deal - loan with purchase price pre-agreed to help all parties make the most of the opportunity

[xqnq1875]

Definitely some truth in the fiorini deal but we face a lot of competition for him , Lj having his city group links could give us an advantage in this deal it’s definitely one to keep and eye on, be brilliant if we can get him in

If someone has seen him play and thought he played crap I think that’s a fairly relevant thing to add to a conversation about him. What’s the point on the forum if it’s not for posts like that or of course posts the opposite way that say every time someone has seen someone they’ve been excellent.

McGeady & Marshall were perhaps considered marquee signings due to their experience. I think to get a decent player in their mid twenties we would probably have to scout the foreign markets.

Understand this but wouldn't necessarily consider a marquee signing someone we already had in the squad. There'll be another coming though.

I don’t think you’re really following.

Madhatter said every time they’ve seen him he’s been garbage. Not that he IS garbage. If I watched Will Fish against Hearts last season and never again, I’d be perfectly entitled to say every time I’ve seen him he’s been garbage. It doesn’t mean I’m saying he is garbage though, that would be different.

I’d much rather hear someone’s actual opinions/experiences on a player that they’ve seen play than read folk who have never seen him play going “can we no give him a chance” when nobody isn’t giving him a chance.

[Wilson]

Always looked garbage every time I've seen him.

I've only seen his assist and a goal in nac Breda colours on YouTube.

My opinion is there is a player there and at only 21 he has some good experience abroad and in England.

I'll have to trust in our scouts on this one. Sorry.

[Hibees1973]

Elie Youan, paid a decent fee for him and we know he is class.

Stop the bus. Hold your horses. Any kind of metaphor of that ilk which comes to mind.

Youan showed ability in glimpses last season. Went on a streaky run a couple of times then was posted missing for a while. Think some on here are getting a wee bit carried away with Youan.

He has shown ability. Could be eventually like Tony Rougier or Russell Latapy. Likely to be somewhere in between.

I do have high hopes for Youan and he has huge scope for improvement. But not anywhere near class just now.

It doesn’t mean I’m saying he is garbage though, that would be different.I’d much rather hear someone’s actual opinions/experiences on a player that they’ve seen play than read folk who have never seen him play going “can we no give him a chance” when nobody isn’t giving him a chance.In fairness it's pretty hard to follow when someone says a player has played garbage and then says he's not brilliant (distinct difference there don't you think ? ) based on every time they've seen them that seems to be only a couple of games . Even if he has had a few poor games doesn't mean he wouldn't be a good signing though. He looks good on the footage . Too much negativity and not enough positivity in what I think could be a good signing tbh .

Are the rumours about Fiorini true? If so then that’s huge for us. The boy is a baller

Too much negativity? I put up one statement which is factual to me, based on when I had viewed him and have had pretty much nothing but grief since.

I don't understand why its so difficult to grasp, the difference between "he's been garbage when I've seen him" and "he's garbage". Also, pretty obvious why I downgraded from "garbage" to "not brilliant" based on the responses I got, including yours.

Also, to boil this down, my opinion should be ridiculed because its based on a couple of games but you're allowed to say "he looks good based on footage".

Seriously don't get this place.

Stop the bus. Hold your horses. Any kind of metaphor of that ilk which comes to mind.

Youan showed ability in glimpses last season. Went on a streaky run a couple of times then was posted missing for a while. Think some on here are getting a wee bit carried away with Youan.

He has shown ability. Could be eventually like Tony Rougier or Russell Latapy. Likely to be somewhere in between.

I do have high hopes for Youan and he has huge scope for improvement. But not anywhere near class just now.

Showed a lot more than glimpses. Excellent after the world cup.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Understand this but wouldn't necessarily consider a marquee signing someone we already had in the squad. There'll be another coming though.

Fairly relaxed about our transfer dealings this year, suspect we'll largely do all right.

Yeah I agree there will be another coming in but Elie is by definition I think, a marquee signing. I’m quite excited to see who we get in, looking at the squad possibly an attacking midfielder or centre forward. I kinda like our signings so far. Elie, we know what we’re getting and he’ll only get better. Obita is essentially an English Championship level player, a standout in L1, he’s at the peak of his game if you go by the standard of pros getting to that stage between 27 and 29. Wollacott is a perfect foil for Marshall, who I think last season was probably not as sharp as he shoulda been due to the lack of competition. ALF is a striker who has scored goals wherever he’s played, at every level and is of an age that will benefit the squad with his experience.
I see every signing as good and everyone fills a hole we had in the squad. It’s almost as if Hibs have put together a competent footballing department that can recognise issues and resolve them with decent recruitment!!

The two much negativity wasn't exactly aimed entirely at you mate . Most signings or potential ones there seems to be some sort of negative comments about wither it's he's too old , too young , been playing poorly , playing in a poor league , might be injury prone etc etc .

I wouldn't have altered my opinion on the player based on responses personally. If you've seen him play poorly that's fine . I've seen Youan and Fish play poorly as well tbh and they turned out not to bad . He's actually the type of signing I think would be exciting and ambitious if we get it over the line tbh and it wasn't my intention to give you a hard time about it btw . Apologies 👍

[007]

Read my post again. I don't think I've actually called him garbage. I've said he's always looked garbage when I've watched him.

Subtle difference. Just enough for you to see a scandal I guess...

If you say a player "Always looked garbage every time I've seen him." without any other context then it is hardly a surprise people think you believe the player to be garbage, that's how I interpreted it.

The way I read it he's seen 3 times? Once he was garbage, once he wasn't brilliant and once he was maybe OK, well it's certainly an opinion I suppose. :greengrin

Nothing wrong with giving an honest opinion, even if it’s sometimes wrong but based on what little info you have. IMO as long as it’s presented as an opinion and not stated as a fact, it’s qualified that the opinion is based on very little and you’re open minded to accept you might be wrong.

I’ve no idea if the poster you quoted, or you, fall into those categories but it’s just my tuppence worth.

Not every signing has to be universally popular as long as they’re given a fair chance.

Well TBH Madhatter contradicted himself. He started by saying Fiorini was garbage every time he saw him. Then he said he was garbage once, ok once and poor once. Garbage analysis IMO.

[Pretty Boy]

I saw Fiorini play for Lincoln once. He was ok. Not a standout but seemed a confident lad.

I thought Josh Vela would be brilliant for us. I'd never seen him but the general enthusiasm from loads of other people who had never seen him got me believing.

The market we shop in most of the players we sign won't be guys we have seen multiple times. Some people will find that exciting, others will find it worrying and those who have seen them will usually post what they think of them, positive or otherwise.

I'll reserve my judgement until the first 3 minutes of their debut, at which point I will declare them either 'the man we have needed for years' or 'pish'.

[HNA12]

Please don’t discuss other posters as a third party. If you disagree with their views then answer them directly. We’ve never allowed other posters to be discussed like that, play the ball, not the man.

Thing with Fiorini is that he’s only 21 so when you saw him play at Lincoln he must have been 19/20?

Not many players that age are brilliant every week and the ones that are, are miles out of our reach. Sounds like he’s added a bit more consistency to his game at Blackpool, hopefully he’d add a bit more at us if he joins.

The post in question only meets 1 of your 3 criteria.

I saw a bit of him playing for Scotland u21s 2 or 3 years ago and my recollection is he was decent (though based on what little I've seen of him he might not be). I wouldn't have been closely analysing it as it would have been links and on my tablet and I was likely not giving the games my 100% attention. Think he scored in one of the games, which is probably why I remember him at all.

He was on my radar as the Scottish footballers abroad twitter page used to post about him all the time when he played in Holland, he looked class then but that was obviously selected highlights.

I was disappointed when he joined Lincoln as I’ve always assumed every player they’ve ever had and ever will have is bang average/pish. Some may say that’s unfair but that’s my perception of them. When he joined Blackpool I stopped caring really, that Twitter account had stopped posting about him and I never really saw his name so I assumed he had just turned *****.

Looking into him again now he sounds decent so I hope we sign him. If we don’t sign him I’ll just assume that spell at Lincoln ruined him.

[Unseen work]

All players have bad games, especially those at this level.

Think of fish against hearts and his form since, Campbell under Maloney to under Johnson, Youan pre to post Christmas.

Their form goes up and down due to many different variables, sometimes it just doesn’t click at certain teams.

Whoever we sign whether it’s ALF, Obita or Wollacott should all get time to prove what they can do.

And after 5 minutes of their debut if they’re rubbish THEN we can boo them 😅

The last few years has actually been a wee bit of a 'glory' run, particularly 2016 to 19. Won the Conference in 16/17, FA Cup quarter final the same season, won the EFL Trophy in 17/18 and won League Two in 18/19.

But aye in general they are about as unglamorous as it gets. They had a nice green away strip a few season back mind you.

Lincoln are more than capable of punching above their weight in cup ties though. I've seen them gub Man City 4-1

I don’t think he was as bad as people say but I don’t think he’d get into a better team.

I think he’s a futsal player or a YouTuber. I don’t actually mean that in as disrespectful way as it maybe comes across. He’s a talented guy and there’s a place for him somewhere, I’m just not sure it’s top level football.

This is so important to remember! Look at mcginn as a great example. Could see he was a good player but he wasn't consistent in his first year, plus was playing in Scottish championship! However maturity,being managed well and then playing with higher calibre players has helped push him on.

We need to give these promising younger players a chance to develop, both our own coming through the ranks and any that come on loan / permanent. The key is to get balance.

Surely Youan is a marquee signing

A good signing no doubt about it ... potentially a great signing if he improves on his end to this season.

But for me a 'Marquee' signing has to be someone who isn't already at the club and either a well known player or someone the fans either really wanted us to sign or is completely out of left field, along the lines of, bloody hell I can't believe we signed him:

George Best, Frank Sauzee, Murdo McLeod, Keith Wright, Steve Archibald ... that kind of player.

If you want an example of a player I would put in that category it's Barry Bannan. 33 years old maybe, but an absolutely super player I would gladly pay money to watch.

Even if we get Fish and Myko back I’d still be wanting quite a bit more quality in.

I’d be delighted to get both and think they’re both really good players with loads of potential, but we need more.

Them two plus Youan were already here from last season plus we lost Nisbet so we need to improve upon our team.

Obviously Wollacott and Obita could do it by replacing Marshall and Stevenson/Cabraja but it remains to be seen - although both look promising l. ALF I think will make a difference as we missed a finisher from the bench imo.

Boyle back is also huge.

So a very good start to the window, but still more work to be done.

Thankfully the way Hibs are going about their business makes me think they’re in agreement and are doing a good job of getting players in and out.

Been impressed by the club so far.

Never seen or even heard of Fiorini but we desperately, desperately need someone with more creativity and goals to add to the midfield.

Going into next year with Newell, Jeggo and JDH as our starting 3 would be a huge error imo.

We need at least one, if not two players in there that can add goals and assists.
