Summer transfer thread 2023

[Bridge hibs]

Im not fussed about his hair. But he dresses like he's just rolled out of bed when he turns up on match days etc. Maybe I'm just an old fart but I;d rather standards included looking like you are proud to be wearing that Hibernian tracksuit. But obv nobody would care if he was good.So nobody would care if he was good, he so far hasnt proven to be good enough so we will just rip him for his dress sense instead, yeah fair game 🤣

[Paulie Walnuts]

The recently beatified on here, Heckingbottom, said that the Scottish Premiership was League One standard. "Lower half of League One".

Not a chance imo.

You’ve already got two teams that would romp that league with record points totals and they’d probably have a good chance of winning the league above it. From the EFL League One team of the season I know about 5 of them and not one of them would get a game at either of the Old Firm. I’d hazard a guess the rest of them are much the same.

Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen would all be way above lower half of league one and would be challenging for promotion imo. The other teams, possibly somewhere around that level, but the league as a whole is considerably better than bottom half league one.

I agree with most of that and I thought Heckingbottom's comments underestimated our league, if not a direct insult.

I think that if we had equal access to the funds in English football, we'd easily hold our own in the Championship, but there's the rub, we don't.

Definitely agree with your last point :agree:

Does anyone remember the last day of last summer's transfer window? At one stage it appeared the McKirdy transfer had fallen through. Our Club was berated all over social media, including I'm sure on here. Now he's the worst signing ever and it's an example of our poor recruitment policy last year. Damned if we do, damned if we don't!

[Unseen work]

Is Baccus even any good?

I’ve never seen him and thought wow what a player he is, but often see him getting praised.

He’s 25 now, is he much better than a JDH?

Not sure if it was an example of poor recruitment policy, or poor recruitment strategy.

We needed a striker and had (for all sorts of reasons) waited until the last minute to sign one. That may have resulted in us buying a guy we wouldnt ordinarily have pushed the boat out for, and possibly paying him inflated wages.

I am hoping that this closed season we do what we need as early as possible - signing guys at the last minute doesnt often work out (Boyle excepted, imo).

[WhileTheChief..]

i've lost track of our signings, who have we already brought in?

As in confirmed signings or loans, not potential or on the cards.

Thanks.

A two-year deal was unusual and risky. United really have to sell this summer and probably won't make much of a profit.
He's a good player but he'll be on decent wages and might want out of Scotland after last season's disappointment.
Cardiff are challenging the EFL embargo but I don't think they are allowed to pay fees as things stand.

Could the level of frustration and ill feeling on social media at the thought that another transfer had fallen through on deadline day due to timings and/or other issues with the deal. It wasn't too long since we lost out on McGrath in this way.

In hindsight the McKirdy deal would have been better falling through completely.

There was a transfer ban which was eased on them were they could sign free agents or loan players though they were banned from paying a transfer fee for players . Wonder has anything changed since .

He left 4 weeks ago.
A good player that they will struggle to replace which is good for us.

I can't find the quote, but I'm 100% certain that he did. I'm sure it was a videod interview.

[007]

Matured a lot over the last couple of years, grape wee player.

Hopefully he doesn't suffer the wrath of the fans.

Ginnelly leaving the Yams

Plenty of players out, have they got any confirmed in yet? 🤔

[Stuart93]

Ginnelly leaving the Yams

Big loss for them based on his recent form.

Scored a few goals for them towards the end of the season

[Hibernian Verse]

I can't find the quote, but I'm 100% certain that he did. I'm sure it was a videod interview.

He definitely said it was League One standard outside the Old Firm, don't think he said "lower half" though.

He was right.

Noticed that a Aussie players been mentioned a lot by the Yam's " Sam Silvera " plays with the same Aussie team Jason Cummings was at .

Cardiff are challenging the EFL embargo but I don't think they are allowed to pay fees as things stand.

Thought it was a bizarre transfer at the time. A 2 year deal with a rumoured £300k transfer fee and high wages.

I'd imagine that with the fee paid Dundee Utd would have been looking to tie him down to a long term contract with the aim to either sell him for a large profit or build a team around him.

The fact he's on a 2 year deal suggests to me that his team pushed for it with a view or staying for 1 season then progressing to a higher league. A fair bit of desperation for Dundee Utd to accept that.

:agree:

I think hearts could really struggle next season. They were pish second half of last season, a couple of their more solid players like Smith and Gordon are a year older (smith may have actually left?) and there’s a good chance Gordon won’t be the same keeper when he comes back. Ginnelly has left who was one of their better players.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see them mid table.

[PHeffernan]

They club will sell the player, Hearts have apparently made a bid for him that was knocked back so will have to up their offer if really interested.

[Aldo]

Hearts trying to get him in on the cheap with them saying they won’t be held to ransom. Read somewhere that CCM are after more than £1 million for him. Sunderland and Plymouth are reported interested as are others in Europe!

[Forza Fred]

Hope they don’t get him.

Pacey left/right winger with a fair bit skill and regularly hits the net.

London born so no visa problems to stop him coming.

Hit a bit of a purple patch towards the end of his season.

Possibly out of their price range if the Mariners are fair dinkum on holding out for what they want though..or say they want.

Would be a better acquisition imho than Tillio who is about to sign for Celtic

Wishful thinking.
They will be stronger than last season and will be favourites to finish 3rd if they recruit well.
Ginnelly is their only real loss from last season.

Of the other leavers Smith and Gary Mackay Stevens were both past it and young Henderson not good enough.
Clarke is a more than good enough replacement for Gordon who will be 41 before the end of the year and was already starting to go backwards when he was injured.
They will also have 3 good players returning from long term injuries, Baningime, Boyce and Halkett.

Ginnelly is a very big loss and Clark is a downgrade on Gordon. Barry Mackay started the season well but then his form fell off a cliff and he was as good as a man down. If he doesn’t find that form again then they’ve essentially lost their two most creative players from last season

Their manager is inexperienced and had an average to crap record at the end of last season and their performances didn’t point to a good side. I’m not sure there’s anything about them just now that screams stronger than last season or favourites for third other than possibly Shankland. Infact from what I can see everything right now would point to the opposite.

As for the guys coming back, they’re no more than decent Scottish Premiership players imo. I certainly wouldn’t be worried if they were signing others of that calibre.

Out of the three clubs realistically looking at third place, Hearts have the biggest budget due to their Euro exploits last season, but they have not spent any of that yet. That does leave them in an uncertain position. Along with having the angry testicle as manager, someone with 3 months experience as a manager, then they out the three clubs have the most uncertainty going into next season. Weirdly Hibs have the most settled squad, the manager with the most experience but the smallest budget. I think it will be a really interesting battle for 3rd and thats without even thinking about challenges from outside Hibs, hearts and the sheep.

Just after watching some highlights of him and I hope they don't get him , looks a very good player what I seen of him. Didn't know hertz had bid rejected for him already , hopefully as other poster said there's other clubs interested and he goes somewhere else 🤞

Sorry but I think he is a big huddy, gets his massive head onto a lot in both boxes but very average and limited defender

In my opinion anyway

Your highlighted point is very interesting.

Aussie teams are starting to wake up to the value of their talent after a lot of their best players arrived in Scotland cheaply last summer. The World Cup and Guol going to Newcastle being further evidence of their ability and value.

For me Lewis Miller could easily be Hibs break through star this season if his hamstrings hold up.
I remember you saying Hibs should sign Atkinson months before Hearts did as well as thinking McLaren may struggle at Hibs. Both were fair opinions.

Do you think Hibs should be trying to sign Baccus from St Mirren for the apparent £250k they were willing to accept from Bolton?
Ryan Strain had a great season at St Mirren and along with Baccus was a big reason for their success.
Lastly, were you surprised at how bad Birighitti was for Dundee Utd, although it must be said the defence on front of him were equally as bad.

Ryan Strain is former Hibs player Gerry Baker’s …brother of Joe….grandson.
He struggled to get a run of games at Adelaide United…got a move to Israel of all places and surprised me by ending up at St Mirren.
By all accounts he has improved……as most Aussie players do when they move to Europe.

Birghitti was never really a star here, but certainly wasn’t as bad as reports I read about him at Dundee United and I can only assume his confidence is shot to bits.

He moved to the UK partly because his wife is from the UK and was missing her family…hopes it comes good for him.

[Hibbyradge]

He was right.

[WeeRussell]

Don’t listen to radge, he’s m-m-m-maaaaaadd, sir.

Similarly folk don't rate Hanlon but they are wrong.
Both players are good Hibs, Hearts, Aberdeen level central defenders. As such Hibs struggle without Hanlon and Hearts without Halkett.

Halkett's loss was easily the single biggest issue with their poor defence last season and cost them 3rd.
They made it worse by bringing him back far too early not once but twice rather than crashing the cash and replacing him with quality.
I would now put him in the Kyle Magennis fragile box now and it remains to be seen if he can sustain a run of games.
Has been out for 6 months now with a cruciate ligament injury so could be out for a while yet.

As for Beningime, we have a similar situation with Boyle and only time will give us the answers. I reckon both players will come back strong.
ACL injuries are bad but players are making good recoveries from them as we saw with Nisbet last season.

[McD]

Ginnelly leaving the Yams


I noticed online (think it was the bbc gossip page) a few days ago stating that Ginnelly hadn’t turned up for pre season training at hearts, the club have offered a new deal.


I thought, no **** Sherlock, he’s no longer employed by hearts, why would he turn up?

Definitely more mobile than Jeggo but wouldn't say he's a massive upgrade or even an upgrade at all. Especially not for what we'd likely have to spend to get him. Imagine St Mirren would want more seeing as we're in the same league.

[JimBHibees]

Noticed that a Aussie players been mentioned a lot by the Yam's " Sam Silvera " plays with the same Aussie team Jason Cummings was at .

He looked very good in the recent final they won. Wide player skilful. Think he was born in England but moved to Oz when young.

[PHeffernan]

They are currently weaker.

So are we and so are Aberdeen but all three teams will be signing more players before the window closes.

As it stands significant losses from last season,
Hearts are down 2 - Ginnelly and Humphreys.
Aberdeen are down 2 - McCrorie and Pollock.
Hibs are down 5 - Nisbet, Fish, CJ, Magennis and Cadden.

As for significant players returning from long injury,
Aberdeen got off very lightly with injuries last season so no returnees
Hibs will be up 1 - Boyle
Hearts will up 3 - Beningime, Boyce and Halkett

So overall from last season Hearts are currently up by 1 player, Aberdeen are down by 1 and Hibs down by 4

Of our new players to date. We have upgraded our back up goalkeeper and left back whilst adding a goal scoring veteran striker.
The most glaring current gaps in our squad are on the right side of the team and at centre half.
Right Back- We have Miller and need to decide whether to use Megwa as back up or get a seasons loan in
Right Wing - We only have Boyle with no back up
Centre Half - We only have 2. McClelland is going on loan which leaves Blaney as a possible 4th choice and a starter needing to be signed.
Much work to be done to even stand still.

[JimBHibees]

Will they be stronger? They’ve not even signed anyone yet.

Ginnelly is a very big loss and Clark is a downgrade on Gordon. Barry Mackay started the season well but then his form fell off a cliff and he was as good as a man down. If he doesn’t find that form again then they’ve essentially lost their two most creative players from last season

As for the guys coming back, they’re no more than decent Scottish Premiership players imo. I certainly wouldn’t be worried if they were signing others of that calibre.

Clark is bang average imo. No doubt they will be half decent though and good signings will come in soon.

ACL injuries are bad but players are making good recoveries from them as we saw with Nisbet last season.Dont agree Halketts injury cost hearts 3rd, Gordons injury was pivotal and whilst his replacement is decent he is never going to save hearts the amount of points Gordon did. Hearts were a bit of a mess all over the pitch and not just in defence, if Shankland wasnt scoring from the spot they had to rely on goals from elsewhere. McKay is good on his day but again he went missing in too many games, Ginnely hit a golden spot and earned them a few points and it even got to desperation stages when they had to play midfield maestro Haring in the last few games

[Forza Fred]

I'm not sure that's what it says? The report I read in the EEN said a report In his homeland is linking him to Hibs. Maybe there is an updated story!

The Oz report is by a reporter who is UK based.

Haven’t seen anything over here other than his report so far and the EEN article

[Greenio]

I cant understand why folk (not you btw) get worked up about a players hair 🤣 his hair whether pink, orange, green or multi coloured has absolutely no bearing on his footballing abilities. I have “silver” hair and my standard of work has been the same since I went from a mohican (green) to skinhead to grey and now to a thin shimmering silver 😃

I just meant that his character (his hair dying etc being one part of being a player that stands out a bit more) has kind of blinkered folk into being more bias towards their judgment of him as a player. It's not happened for him at Hibs and we cant hold out thinking that that might change. IMO of course. I'd love for him to become a prolific goal scorer/provider here, but, nah, there comes a time when you have to say no. Like i said, i wish him all the best, but we need to get another option on the go for this coming season

[Aldo]

Definitely more mobile than Jeggo but wouldn't say he's a massive upgrade or even an upgrade at all. Especially not for what we'd likely have to spend to get him. Imagine St Mirren would want more seeing as we're in the same league.

Maybe more mobile but is he actually better quality??

Tbh having only seen highlights of him I’m not sure I’d be spending the money quoted on him.

I think we can get better quality for that kind of money!

[HibeesLittleHel]

Keanu Baccus?

[Stuart93]

Keanu Baccus?

Aye he’s already been discussed on the thread

:agree:

I think hearts could really struggle next season. They were pish second half of last season, a couple of their more solid players like Smith and Gordon are a year older (smith may have actually left?) and there’s a good chance Gordon won’t be the same keeper when he comes back. Ginnelly has left who was one of their better players.

I wouldn’t be surprised at all to see them mid table.

I’m no sure, hearts have managed to find decent attacking players in the past few years so wouldn’t be surprised if they managed it again

Reckon they’ll be in the fight for Europe though as opposed to mid table

It’ll be interesting to see who looks the strongest out of us them and Aberdeen come the end of the window.

Aberdeen have been out the traps pretty quickly to strengthen without any noticeable departures (unless I’ve missed some players)

We’ve brought in a few but also a few notable departures

Hearts have lost a couple/few (I think) but not brought anyone in yet.

As long as we’re ready and have a couple more in before Europe I’ll be happy, preferably our no.9 and an attacking mid.

Centre Half - We only have 2. McClelland is going on loan which leaves Blaney as a possible 4th choice and a starter needing to be signed.
Much work to be done to even stand still.

Magennis as a significant loss? I don’t think so.

I also think Miller will end up being better at right back for us this season than Cadden, and I’m a big fan of Cadden.

Jay Idzes are Hibs showing an interest in him? I spoke to a friend in Holland who watches Go Ahead Eagles and he said Jay came a few years ago as a midfielder and then a defender very technical player but he is not sure he is ready for Mans football, his words.

Magennis is a significant loss in that we are going to have to spend a good chunk of our budget to replace him with a quality player. Previously we made do with our perfunctory midfield hoping he would eventually start playing regularly. Obviously if we find the right guy and he plays regularly it will improve us.
Our defensive mid is Jeggo with Kenneh as back up. Our centre mid are 2 from 3 of JDH, Newell and Campbell. We only have one offensive mid and that is Henderson so there is a space now for a midfielder with creative quality and that will cost a good fee and wages or just the latter.

I also see Miller as an improvement on Cadden given his enhanced physical capability. What I was saying was that we need a back up given Cadden will be out for most of the season with what is a hellish injury. The question is will that back up be Megwa or a loan signing.

Selling fee from Hibs was undisclosed but the guess in the press was €3 million.

Great feet and beats players with ease as shown in the highlight reel when he sat the hearts defence down :na na:, decent range of passing with playing balls in behind and spreading the play and finally ... isn't afraid to have a shot when the chance comes up some cracking finishes from outside the box.

If we do sign him i feel he will be our POTY next season.

Not necessarily. I'm pretty sure Fletcher had a straightforward sell-on clause where Hibs received a percentage of any future fees, not a percentage of profit.

When Jack Harper went from Brighton to Malaga this was the clause in his contract:

“2.2 Should the Player’s registration be transferred on a permanent basis by Malaga at any time in the future then Malaga will pay to Brighton 12.5% (twelve and a half per cent) of any transfer fee received by Malaga (deducting the amount corresponding to solidarity contribution) up to a maximum sum of €750,000 (seven hundred and fifty thousand euros).”

Reality is we'll likely never know whether it is percentage of fees received or percentage of profit unless Hibs make it clear in future accounts when he is eventually sold.. I don't think it is unusual for the clause to be a straight percentage of any fee received.

Fletch's was 100% a % of the profit on the transfer. I've never known a routine transfer which wasn't. The Harper one, IIRC was because no fee was involved in his move from Brighton and therefore any future fee was profit.

Is Levitt actually any good? Or is this similar to the stevie mallan chat before. Would we not have been better keeping and playing laidlaw?

Really good player and a completely different type/position to Laidlaw

[cameronw-hfc]

Josh Doig to Bologna for $6m close supposedly, been a few italian journos tweet about it.

[Ronniekirk]

Those 2, Fish, a striker and our current signings would be a huge statement of intent.

What a difference it makes going for players with known quality and with experience.

I’m all for a random punt, promising younger from abroad but you need to have a solid squad for them to come in to. Too many and no stability and it’s a recipe for disaster.
Agree but if Levit is being pursued by several clubs and it turns into a bidding war we may not get him Am always a it wary when things go public so quickly

Everyone will know United need to cash in on him now so will lowball them. Giving them a decent sell on would be a good help probably.

Good thing is Bologna seem to do really well at developing players and selling them on for even more. Hopefully we have a Fletcher esque deal where we get a % of future fees

[Forza Fred]

I’d take levitt and baccus personally

Know the league, potential sell on, younger and hungry.

Know if they do well they can go bigger.

I’d take them both and move on Henderson, Jeggo for example.

Never heard of Levitt tbh…pardon my ignorance but aware of Baccus.

Playing really well at international level…..Oz’s best player against Argentina in a friendly three weeks ago.

Appears to have a long international career ahead of him which will substantially increase his value.

Nothing in Oz press about Hibs being interested other than the report from the London based journo of our SBS television channel….so the ‘homeland’ story was penned in London.

Supposedly 27.5% sell on

[JimBHibees]

Supposedly 27.5% sell on

So something like 600k. Not to be sniffed at. Hopefully that percentage remains for subsequent transfers.

[Winston Ingram]

Supposedly 27.5% sell on

It's no great news at all. He had a very good first season. Fee quoted is apparently £5.2m. We'll be getting 27.5% of Verona's profit which will be nearer £600k.

Decent money, but after a very encouraging first season, i'd reckon they'd get double that in a year from one of the big boys, which would be nearer £2m.

I'd be very surprised if our board are happy with this.

Think it would need Verona to have a similar deal, so if they take a sell on % we’d take 27.5 of that as well as they still profiting

Keeping Laidlaw (which we tried to do and he turned down) in order to play him out of position in central midfield?

I like it

I’ll be honest with you I thought Laidlaw was an attacking mid. I also thought the same of Levitt. The sentiment remains,is Levitt really any better than we have?is he worth forking out for.

So, for those of us not up to speed on how the sell on fees work, like me, why would Hibs not get 27.5% of the 5.2 mil being quoted ?

Confirmed in (5):
Maksymilian Boruc, two year contract (goalkeeper, Slask Wroclaw)
Adam Le Fondre, one year contract (striker, Sydney)
Jordan Obita, two year contract (defender, Wycombe)
Jojo Wollacott, three year contract (goalkeeper, Charlton)
Elie Youan, three year contract (striker, St Gallen)



Hadn't realised that we had signed Maksymilian Boruc. Big thanks for Diclonius for taking the effort in keeping the page up to date.

I'm sure it's already been discussed by I don't think that Wollacott and Boruc are coming to Hibs as back up to Marshall.

Presumably the management team think so, and they will have all his performance data.

Nobody knows, but it being based on profit would make it very very unusual, so you would assume its based on fee like most deals

Watched motherwell vs dundee utd at the end of last season, think it was the game that confirmed utds relegation. Levitt was superb, range of passing was great, bring him into a better team and he should thrive

Do you watch Scottish football?

:rolleyes:

Never noticed Levitt, just like most opposition players, I’m not that interested in them.

I’d be happy to see any of Kenneh, Campbell, JDH, Jeggo depart our central midfield. It’s the weakest pert of our team.

IMO yes - he’s also different to our current options, especially with Magennis out the door. Would be a great capture for us.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Looks like he played against us when they beat us 1-0 at Tannadice. Missed the other two.

He played the first game at Tannadice and set up the only goal of the game.

[Brightside]

Aren’t they all based on profit? Anything else would make no sense to the club selling on.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Aren’t they all based on profit? Anything else would make no sense to the club selling on.

Why would it make no sense?

If they paid £3m for him as suggested and they sell him for £6m then they’ve made £4m, £1m profit if we’re due 33%, again, as suggested. They’ve also got to use him for a year.

It’s a poorer deal for them, but it still makes sense.

I’m sure when Fletcher was sold our cut was reported as a percentage of the total fee and not profit.

[the_ginger_hibee]

No. More common to be total % than profit. We'll find out soon enough or at AGM possibly.

How do get buying at £3m and selling at £6m a £4m profit? I'm no genius but I make it £3m profit 6-3=3.

[Corstorphine Hibby]

No. More common to be total % than profit. We'll find out soon enough or at AGM possibly.
Slightly off topic, but was it ever confirmed that the Covid insurance that we had in place paid out? That was reported as being 7 figures iirc?

[nonshinyfinish]

I think they meant that if we got 33% of the £6m (£2m for us), then they would get £4m total, meaning £1m profit.

[Paulie Walnuts]

How do get buying at £3m and selling at £6m a £4m profit? I'm no genius but I make it £3m profit 6-3=3.

You buy a player for 10m with 20% sell on. You sell him for £8m. In your idea you’d give the original club another 2 million. Therefore you lose more money when you sell the player. That’s a mental deal and surely not many clubs do that.

You buy a player for £10m and sell him for £18m then you’ve made a profit.

You buy a player with no sell on for £10m and he’s crap and you sell him for £8m then you lose £2m anyway. On the face of it that seems a mental deal as well but it happens.

There’s always a way to lose money in a deal, usually if a signing doesn’t work out.

I agree with your logic that it's risky and the club would be gambling on the player's value go up rather than down. But that said, football clubs regularly do risky and desperate things in the transfer market.

(Not saying it will be the case with Doig, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's more common than logic might suggest.)

Pretty much every deal is a % of the full price.

[Caversham Green]

Slightly off topic, but was it ever confirmed that the Covid insurance that we had in place paid out? That was reported as being 7 figures iirc?

Yes - £2.2m reported in the 20/21 accounts.

The club wouldn't be losing money. They would just be making the final payment for the player. Without the sell on included in the deal the original price would be higher.

[brog]

Depends if it's 27.5% of the gross sale or the net profit from the transfer.

As I posted earlier it's invariably on the profit. Otherwise you could sell a player at a loss and still have to pay out an additional fee. That's not practical.

Still a few more outs that we all want but still time left.

[brog]

Pretty much every deal is a % of the full price.
It's really not, for the reasons Brightside posted. As for the Fletch deal which keeps getting posted, that was 100% on profit. What was unusual, at the time, was that it was on total profit, not just on 1st sell on.

[Since90+2]

Pretty much every deal is a % of the full price.

There's absolutely no way you could know that with any degree of certainty at all. It's guesswork.

[Paulie Walnuts]

As I posted earlier it's invariably on the profit. Otherwise you could sell a player at a loss and still have to pay out an additional fee. That's not practical.

As Rumble De Thump said, it depends how you look at it.

With no sell on fee, what if we had said we’re not taking £3m for Doig? What if we said we wanted £4m? They’d have had to find £1m more upfront. That might have meant they couldn’t have afforded to go out and get a striker they so desperately needed.

If they sold him for £2m, making a £1m loss, they’d also owe us £666k. It’s essentially just the final payment for him of the £4m we wanted and you’ve kicked the can down the road so to speak but also paid less than if you’d paid £4m upfront. You hear about teams ‘amortising’ contracts and similar things to be able to afford signings all the time. There’s loads of financial fooling around in football.

[nonshinyfinish]

You hear about teams ‘immortalising’ contracts all the time.

Amortising?

An immortalising contract is what Lewis gets.

Further off topic, but have we paid back the £2.8m we got from the government in interest free Covid loan? Have any clubs?

[GloryGlory]

Further off topic, but have we paid back the £2.8m we got from the government in interest free Covid loan? Have any clubs?

I think the deal with the gov is that it is repayable over 10 years. As the loan is interest free, I doubt the club will be rushing to pay it back earlier.

[number9dream]

I think the deal with the gov is that it is repayable over 10 years. As the loan is interest free, I doubt the club will be rushing to pay it back earlier.

Aye, it's actually 20 years. It does seem morally dubious to take an interest free loan to get through a time of strife then putting it in the bank to gain interest once the storm has past, so to speak.
Maybe clubs are paying back in instalments, I just haven't seen it mentioned anywhere.
Anyhoo, back to wild transfer speculation and gossip...

[Caversham Green]

Further off topic, but have we paid back the £2.8m we got from the government in interest free Covid loan? Have any clubs?

Nope. It's interest free and not yet due so the only effect repaying it would have would be to seriously damage our cash flow.

Interestingly, (or maybe not) it's shown at discounted value in the accounts - i.e. although the loan was £2,882,000 the balance sheet figure is only £1,448,395, which is what £2,882,000 is expected to be worth when repayment is due.

I'm already sorry I mentioned that last bit.

He was called into the Socceroo squad as Boyler’s late replacement for the World Cup, but never got on the park in Qatar.

He’s ok, just not much more than that imho.

Problem is, to me, he’s neither a winger nor a centre forward, but someone who is still searching for his position on the field.

Maybe Celtic will improve him of course, and I wish the laddie all the best, but I would be surprised if he gets anything other than the odd game.

They must see him as a WIP.

Certainly not adding anything to their squad this season, and not someone I would have wanted to sign for Hibs.

Problem is these days Hibs budget wouldn’t stretch to the top players in Oz, unless they are free agents and set on going to the UK.

They seem to be losing quite a few players and I'm hoping cash plus maybe one or two of our players might hopefully help get him .🤞
