Think so too mate . Would Jason Kerr be a possible option ? Know he had a bad injury and not sure when he's back playing again though always thought he was a good centre half .

Really hope we have someone lined up soon at CB.

Trying not to get peed off

But I hope hibs haven’t just been waiting on him only

We should have numerous options I’d hope and go get option b and c now. Hopefully.

I don’t think fish is innocent in all of this, wonder if he’s been giving it up be joining after holidays etc etc and then the first big English club that’s came along and he’s gone. Not his issue I guess but I just worry hibs have been caught with their trousers down here

Utter rubbish. If hibs offer the best they can within our budget and another club offer more then there is not a lot you can do.

Let’s not overreact when we don’t know the facts. There is still every chance we will still get him.

Bummer if true, he is Man Us player so maybe they want to see him play at a different level, hopefully he might still come to hibs but if not then we move on, I would assume we have identified other targets and will have them ready before the season kicks off

Where was this reported about fish cannot see it anywhere

[Since452]

It’s funny when you see the money going into Celtic and some get really worked up when we lose (convincingly) to them.

On the flip if we lost to a team near the bottom they’re also raging as we should be beating them comfortably despite our budget being a lot closer to there’s than Celtic. A point against Celtic is an incredible result.

Shows how tough it is

Exactly. Some people have used it as a "not winning a big game" example against certain managers. Madness. They should be thumping us convincingly. A point against Celtic is an incredible result.

[Bridge hibs]

Dont know mate I was just responding to the other posts, certainly cant see anything on Sky sports transfer news, in saying that I didnt see anything about Doigs proposed transfer either

[Bridge hibs]

Something has obviously changed if the Fish to Birmingham story is true, this from 14th June

Hibs are closing in on a deal to bring Will Fish back.

The Easter Road club have agreed a deal with Manchester United which will see the 20-year-old defender return to the Scottish Premiership next season. It is a major boost for boss Lee Johnson because he was one of his top summer targets. Last season was Fish’s second senior loan and United were pleased with the progress Fish made in Edinburgh.

[04Sauzee]

Don't think it's being reported in the press, as I said last night when I mentioned it, it's rumors amongst Birmingham fans , possibly nothing it.

[Bridge hibs]

Doidge to Dundee Utd ?

Hibs may have to offer up Christian Doidge if they want to land Dundee United’s Dylan Levitt.

The Easter Road outfit want to sign the Welsh internationalist and have been in talks but up until now have failed to get near United’s £500,000 asking price. United boss Jim Goodwin is interested in Hibs striker Doidge. The big Welshman spent last season on loan at Kilmarnock and he would be keen to take him in to spearhead United’s Championship charge.

United are short of striking options as Steven Fletcher terminated his deal early and Tony Watt is still coming back from injury. Ironically, Doidge scored a weekend brace for Hibs in their weekend friendly win over Edinburgh and boss Lee Johnson has insisted the door is open for the big Welshman to force his way into his first-team plans.

Willie Ormond and Alec Cropley both suffered 3 broken legs and were wonderful players. How is it now this Board is full of medical experts who tell us Myko is too much of a risk after one injury? He would be a wonderful signing!

Would you sign Kyle Magennis if he was available just now? He’s not had any more bad injuries than Ormond and Cropley, why did we even bother letting him go?

Myko also had more than one injury. He was out, returned to the squad, out again, returned to the squad and people kept claiming he wasn’t fit enough to start and then out again.

You don’t need to be a medical expert to realise that his injury record so far isn’t great.

[bingo70]

That’s far too simplistic.

There would need to be an analysis of the type of injury, how they occurred and the likelihood of them continuing to be a problem done by medical professionals, not punters on .net.

It’s not an exact science and it never worked out for Magennis but that doesn’t mean we should never sign anyone again who’s had a bad season with injuries.

It is simplistic, but even more simplistic is the idea that it was fine for Ormond and Cropley so it’ll be fine for Myko.

We keep seeing posts on here about how a pre season will help him yet he had that in Belgium last year where he played the first few games of the season. That wasn’t his issue last season.

He may sign and have no more injuries. He may sign and have lots. The evidence available to us so far would lean more towards lots and as punters on Hibs.net, that’s all we can go on. And given our history with injuries I wouldn’t trust our medical team to get it right tbh.

Let’s look at the stats instead of ‘opinions’ then. When he played he was very good I agree but we did not see him anywhere near enough last season. To put our hopes on him leading the line after his injury record last year would be madness.

It was the same with Magennis. We cannot be wasting big wages on players with poor injury records. It’s essentially what cost us 3rd place last year.

It’s a tough one. You are right to be wary given the injuries we had last season but each player is different.

Personally I think Myko is worth the risk if we can land him but I understand the concern.

[CapitalGreen]

Is he good enough that it’s possible to say he’s worth the risk without knowing what sort of fee and wages we’d be paying? No fee and a low wage would be a lower risk than paying £750k and making him a top earner.

I think he’s a great player but a good player who is available 38 league games a season is much more useful than a great player who is only available for half that.

[Dmas]

I think if we can’t get Myko in and training soon then we should cut ties, he hasn’t played a lot of games we brought him in and he had to get right in probably that’s probably caused a few issues muscle wise and hampered him rather than him being Chris killen 2.0 if we can’t get him in and up to speed with a pre season then we should move onto other targets or we risk same again

[Paloschi]

Just a few observations:

Will Fish - surely the player wants to stay in England if he has ambitions of breaking into the Man Utd squad? Surely that is the next step for him and to test himself in the Championship. I imagine Man Utd want that for him too. It’s rare players return to clubs on loan. Will Fish and Man Utd owe us nothing. In the same token, he may have never played or been rubbish and we’d be happy to send him back.

Levitt - I hope this isn’t a classic case of us wasting time. £500k is affordable for us and reasonable for a Welsh International who is yet to reach his potential. I know his deal is up soon and we would naturally want to negotiate a better price but I hope we don’t lose out over a £100k or so. Is Rod Petrie back in the building?

Doidge - I love the big man but he needs to be moved on IMO. We need to be better and not so sentimental to players who haven’t performed lately. I think there could be truth in Doidge to Utd as Goodwin is a fan and seemingly wanted him at the Dons. I would prefer we keep Melks over Doidge, as much as I love the guy

We spent to get Boyle back and the Gordon’s have covered the fee for youan it doesn’t scream to me 500k is readily available for another player, adding doidge to bring the fee down could be something tho but I don’t know where 500k being affordable to us has come from

Not sure if this has anything to do with it

Manchester United are one of the top Premier League clubs showing interest in Birmingham City youngster Trevan Sanusi.
The Mail (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12259453/Birmingham-face-losing-teenage-star-Trevan-Sanusi-amid-Premier-League-interest.html)reports Manchester United have sent scouts to watch the 16-year-old, and are interested in a potential move for the winger.

[Dmas]

We got 600k for him is it normal hibs practise to be spending all of transfer fees received on one player? just cause the fees have rolled in doesn’t make 500k ‘easily affordable’ it’s hibs we’re talking about, the poster I replied to made out if we lose out on a 500k rated transfer it was like RP being back in charge, a little perspective is needed we’re not cash rich we need to attempt to negotiate that if we don’t sign him it won’t be through lack of trying or penny pinching they will just be after more than we can offer

It wouldn’t be all fees received on one player though would it?

Times have changed. We’ve got record revenues between the commercial income and player sales.

I don’t actually think we’d need to spend £500k to get Levitt but it should be affordable.

Dundee Utd are reportedly wanting £500k for Levitt but could realistically accept half of that with a possible player thrown in as a makeweight, regardless if hibs do offer cash it will likely be “undisclosed” as per most transfers. That said the press will no doubt make up some figures and no doubt one or two on here will moan about us not pushing the boat out and slamming us for not paying the extra tenner for him if we lose out

[Donegal Hibby]

So you reckon it isn’t risky signing a player who missed the majority of last season out injured?

Don’t think anyone claims to be a medical expert, it’s just an important factor to take into account when you’re signing a player to be your main striker. The only evidence/experience we have to go on of him is last season

Kevin Nisbet missed the majority of last season with a injury too though he came back from it and done well for us , so could Mykola too .

I'm sure Hibs will have the players injury well assessed and won't be taking any risks signing him. It could be he was just unlucky during his spell at us . The only other evidence/ experience we have to go on him last season besides his injury is that he looked a quality striker.

[HFC93]

I keep reading on here that Kuharevich is injury prone etc. Is this based on him picking up a few injuries last season or has he had a history of injury issues previous to joining Hibs?

[Brooster]

Myko looked good in the short spells we seen him bit I'm not sure about his injury record, he misses a lot of games. Might be better looking elsewhere.

[Paulie Walnuts]

In 20/21 he missed the last 7 games of the season through injury.

In 21/22 he missed the majority of games and is listed as not being in the squad rather than injured.

Last season he was injured, came back and broke down straight away, played a few games coming off the bench then injured again.

At 22 years old he’s managed 54 career appearances.

[WeeRussell]

The way your going on this guy is the next John Mcginn, just don’t really get the hype tbh

Might not be the next John McGinn, but he’ll 100% be our most talented midfielder as soon as (if) he signs, and likely the best since McGinn and Allan.

That’s worth up to 500k for me.

[Stuart93]

Kevin Nisbet missed the majority of last season with a injury too though he came back from it and done well for us , so could Mykola too .

Aye he looked good in the few games when he started scoring. I was impressed with his hold up play as well. Though I’m not disputing he wasn’t a good player.

To be honest, I’m not sure I’ve got too much faith in our medical team when you look at Boyle or magennis for example.

I just reckon signing Myko back as your main striker is a risk given his injury record last season, that’s all.

[GreenGray]

I thought Fish was basically done?

We need to find someone as good as him to partner Hanlon or we will struggle imo.

Well that's more than Dylan McG had at age 22. Dylan then spent next 2 seasons being unfit about 50% of the time. Thankfully he wasn't written off or 21/5/16 may not have happened.

I’d be happy to have him. Just not as our first choice striker. It doesn’t need to be a case of if you don’t want him as first choice striker then you have wrote him off. There is a middle ground.

We could get away with Dylan missing games when we were playing the likes of Alloa, Dumbarton, Morton and QOTS most weeks. He also wasn’t our most important midfielder plus we had very able deputies in Fyvie and Bartley.

Replacing Nisbet is big but think we can compensate for his loss with Boyle coming back. We desperately need a centre half in though for me.

[Forza Fred]

By the sound of Ben Kensell’s comments he sees Alfie as an ‘impact’ player to come on and change the game.

However, I think he is capable in the pre season games of convincing LJ that he should start with him.

We’ll see.

Maybe 500K is 'affordable' to Hibs. But we need more than just one player, especially if the Fish to Birmingham story is true. Yes we have improved things in the non football income side,with more sponsors than you can shake a stick at, but we have a hell of a long way to go IMO before we start looking at half a million quid on a player as the norm for us. I would suggest such a sum spent by Hibs would still mean something having to be compromised on elsewhere.

Good strikers aint cheap and if Doidge was used as a makeweight in any deal as things stand that would leave us with a 35 year old, a kid who barely kicked a ball last season and Mykola who may or may not sign and who may or may not spend most of the season injured if he does. I suppose you could chuck in McKirdy, but I just can't see LJ playing him through the middle. We are at the stage of desperately needing a forward and a good one at that .... that's another 3 to 5 hundred thousand right there.

The other thing to remember is that the higher a players value in the transfer market the higher wages he's going to want ... I doubt the likes of Levitt would even pick up the phone for less than a basic 5K a week.

One up side is that after an unsuccessful loan prior to us Will Fish came on leaps and bounds at Easter Road, CJ Egan-Riley was pretty successful as well. On that basis our stock should be reasonably high as a destination for loan players ... though IMO three in the first team is the absolute maximum we should ever have.

I think Boyle's was hard to detected and took a top expert team to finally figure out the problem . Magennis probably passed a medical at us and was just extremely unlucky with injuries after that , he's probably passed another medical at killie now he's back training again . I suppose it's hard for any medical team at a football club to diagnose injuries on a player when he's fit .

I think in having Mykola on loan and knowing his injury ( ligament I think) we will weigh up everything and make the right decision on him . There's probably is a risk in signing him as there is any player we do . Maybe we shouldn't have resigned Boyle who had missed I think 19 games in 18/19 and 11games in 19/20 with injuries . Tbh I'm still glad we got Boyle back though. Quality player.

We could end up signing Mustapha , Rusek or some completely different striker we not heard of yet . Whoever it wil be , we need a fairly good one to get 15 or 20 goals next season . I think Mykola playing regularly would achieve this . Personally I'd like to see him back on another loan with a option to buy . If does come back it won't be as a backup striker that's for sure .

But i think there is more to it, than just kids in a bedroom. There is a recent track record of Birmingham recruiting from Man U. So if we are still trying to get Will Fish it is reasonable to expect stiff competition from Birmingham which will be difficult to compete with from our perspective.

This is the same medical team who made out McGeady would be back within weeks and we didn’t sign a replacement for him, it ended up being nearly 6 months. The same one that allowed JDH to carry on training for a week with a broken ankle, the same one that kept sending Porteous back onto the pitch against Rangers when everyone in the stadium could see he was ****ed. The same medical team who couldn’t diagnose Magennis’ injury under Jack Ross for months on end to the point Jack Ross was telling the media he had no idea what was wrong with him after he’d been out for months.

The signings Boyle and Myko are incomparable. Boyle has averaged 32 games a season over a 14 year career, Myko has averaged 14. Myko averages 5 goals per season as a centre forward, Boyle averages 9 as a winger. Myko got 5 last year, Boyle got 14 by Christmas the season he left. Signing Boyle back was a no brainer. Signing Myko as our first choice striker isn’t imo.

[Smartie]

I think Boyle's was hard to detected and took a top expert team to finally figure out the problem . Magennis probably passed a medical at us and was just extremely unlucky with injuries after that , he's probably passed another medical at killie now he's back training again . I suppose it's hard for any medical team at a football club to diagnose injuries on a player when he's fit .

I think in having Mykola on loan and knowing his injury ( ligament I think) we will weigh up everything and make the right decision on him . There's probably is a risk in signing him as there is any player we do . Maybe we shouldn't have resigned Boyle who had missed I think 19 games in 18/19 and 11games in 19/20 with injuries . Tbh I'm still glad we got Boyle back though. Quality player.

We could end up signing Mustapha , Rusek or some completely different striker we not heard of yet . Whoever it wil be , we need a fairly good one to get 15 or 20 goals next season . I think Mykola playing regularly would achieve this . Personally I'd like to see him back on another loan with a option to buy . If does come back it won't be as a backup striker that's for sure .

I think my issue with Myko’s fitness was that he seemed close to a return a few times before breaking down again a few times. I wouldn’t really be so concerned if it had been a single, bad injury.

Magennis always seemed to be close but never got there. McGeady broke down a couple of times in games. Tbf to Boyle he had to have his knee cut wide open to discover the extent of his injury.

[HibbyAndy]

Think so too mate . Would Jason Kerr be a possible option ? Know he had a bad injury and not sure when he's back playing again though always thought he was a good centre half .

He's back playing in September and has 1 year left on his contract at Wigan

Did Wigan end up getting bought over?

When they weren’t getting paid we’d have been in with a shout possibly. I think we’d struggle to get him if they’ve been taken over though.

[cabbageandribs1875]

That’s right. I can understand why they are now doing it to be fair, it’s a product after all and they will want to have some level on control over it.

Wigan Athletic is delighted to announce the following update regarding the Club’s ownership:

A new company backed by Mike Danson has today completed the acquisition of 100% of Wigan Athletic Football Club.
All requisite clearances have been obtained from the English Football League “EFL”. A new board, along with a Chief Executive of the Club will be announced in due course. First Team Manager Shaun Maloney, will remain at the Club.
Funds have been paid into the Club to cover all outstanding debt. All players and staff will be paid immediately, along with other creditors.

[Donegal Hibby]

I don't know if it's accurate though there was talk that there players could leave if they choose to over not getting paid before the take-over and with the point deduction ( 8 points I think ) they will have there work cutout for themselves to get promoted first attempt , could possibly be looking at another season in league 1and I wonder how many of there players will fancy that prospect. Mighten get him but it would be worth testing the waters for Kerr at least I think.

[Torto7]

Is Kerr dominant in the air? A big part of Fish's success was his aerial dominance something Porteous wasn't the best at either.

[Hibees1973]

As things stand we have still to replace our Scotland centre half (Porteous) and our Scotland centre forward (Nisbet). Players brought in so far are nowhere near their calibre so we are severely weakened compared to last season. Johnson has said he wanted the vast majority of the squad in place before the pre season training camp in Spain.

When is it they are away to Spain?

Your totally entitled to your opinion on the medical team at Hibs though it's not one I share tbh even though you paint a very bad picture of them though I'd like to think there's people running our club smarter than the likes of me or you and if they were as bad as you make out there would be changes made ,

Our past two managers and the current one are all ex players I've not heard complaining about the medical team plus you have guys like McGregor, Gray and senior players like Stevenson and Hanlon too .

As to Mykola being a risky signing as our main striker , I was merely pointing out Boyle was as well after having surgery twice on his knee as well.

Though your right in that signing Boyle was a no brainer and if we could get to the bottom of the injury problem Mykola had at us and sort it out bringing him back as our main striker would also be a no brainer actually.

There's a few saying they'd take him back but not as our main striker , this will not be happening imo , we won't be spending good money on a expensive backup striker . He'll either come back as the main striker or not at all .

Agree with a previous poster - we're definitely still weaker than last season due to the loss of 2 of our best players in Porto and Nisbet

Hope they are adequately replaced asap!!

We had the best defence outside the old firm for season 20/21 and 21/22.

I understand why we are being patient with Nisbet's replacement as more players perhaps better than we are currently looking at become available over the course of the window. We need them in and ready to go ahead of that 3rd qualifying round though, assuming we get there.

I wouldn’t necessarily disagree with the sentiment of your first sentence, although it would be daft to ignore the fact that it was the soundtrack for the past few summer transfer windows that saw us finish them weaker than we started them.

Fish was an upgrade on Porteous, not that Porteous was necessarily a bad player but he was ridiculously overrated as a Hibs player (I’m assuming he’s as good for Watford as he chooses to be for Scotland).

Nisbet was also injured or out of form for much of his time with us.

Both Porteous and Nisbet could actually be improved upon, although we could easily end up with quite significant downgrades on them too.

I’m not that unhappy that the pair of them are away.

[Hibees1973]

Isn't that what Mathie did with Doig and led to Mathie getting the boot.

Mathie waited until the end of the window, Ross withdrew him from the squad, the impending transfer of Doig did not happen with no cash windfall so Ross didn't have time to recruit the correct players in. Think we ended up with some inexperienced Centre Half and James Scott who only showed up with a hat-trick at the last game of the season.

Hibs have been distinctly average in the last couple of seasons. Being even just a little bit smarter in the last couple of transfer windows could have seen us finish 3rd last season and the Euro bounty of cash.

It is early but think most of us have justification in being a wee bit apprehensive what is going on with an early Euro campaign on the horizon.

Signing players is competitive but it's up to the recruitment guys to get the right players in on time. Overall they have failed in the last couple of years.

[I'm Spartacus]

£25M being handed to Celtic for Jota, a team that would still win the league even without him.

We as fans just need to write those 4 games off and concentrate on the rest, giving Rangers, Hearts and Aberdeen a good hit and skelping the rest. Rangers will be forced to spend even more based on Celtic's budget now, seems like we are back in the David Murray days.

[Bridge hibs]

He cost us the all-important first goal in a few games, case in point being the cup derby

He made not one, not two but three really poor mistakes / decisions that gifted Hearts their opener, from a position that no other team would be in difficulty in.

He let an aimless punt bounce
He got in a fankle trying to be clever and conceded a free kick (when Will Fish or indeed any other SPFL centre half would have nodded it out for a throw on halfway)
He got caught napping at the free kick, weak
Ginnelly scored

That was a game we played better than the opposition in, but lost, and it was far from the only time Porteous cost us, thinking he was Beckenbauer, playing more like Rutger Hauer

And there’s plenty on here who go completely over the top in their praise of him. Stick on for Scotland captain etc was the cry.

His last 4 games saw us lose 4 goals against Celtic where he completely lost Mooy for the first, 3 goals against Hearts, two goals against United where he completely lost their man for their first goal and two against Motherwell.

He wasn’t playing well when he left imo. He had a purple patch after his first Scotland cap but imo he didn’t start the season great, didn’t end his time here great and also had a really poor season in 21/22 with his horrific discipline.

Surprised you think that, Fish came in and Hanlon’s form subsequently improved. Only real blip was Dundee United away where Hanlon wasn’t playing and Fish had to move to left centre back. Was plain to see we were a lot more solid without Porteous’ in my opinion.

He wasn’t just “no nonsense” his diagonal passes were often well thought out and resulted in goals. Having both our centre backs able to hit long diagonals was a huge benefit as well.

Doesn't include Doidge because Levitt is signing for Hearts? Boy in work today was 100% certain he was signing for them, apparently we couldn't compete with the wages offered. He's been right in the past and way off it other times.

Aw he'll absolutely be getting it tight when (if) Levitt signs for us! Can't wait.

Actually a good guy, until you get to talking about football that is. And then it's all about this 'big' team nonsense. Actually unhinged how much it matters to them that Heart's are seen as a big club.

Update with Josh - Torino will complete the signing of Josh Doig next week. The Scotsman will join the Torino from Hellas Verona for a fee of around €6.5m with add-ons that could rise to €7.5m.

Hibernian will receive £1.65m plus the remaining fee from their original sale.

I’d imagine the remaining £1m is already budgeted for. But the £1.65 sell is essentially new money so could/should be used on enhancing the squad.

Sorry no links (or guarantees for that matter), came from a United fan. They seem to believe over there that a deal has been agreed with Hibs.

I actually came on after thinking there would be something similar on here. I, like most will, have my fingers crossed that it is indeed true.
Wonder if one of our players going the other way . Actually surprised that a few are against doidge on the Arab forum coming to them. Think he'd do well in the championship for them tbh .

I think they’re pretty much saying what most of us would re Doidge. And they don’t have sentiment on his side either… instead they see it as losing Steven Fletcher and getting a striker that hasn’t looked very good at all for years, and Hibs are looking to get rid of.

I’d be the same to be honest. (Doesn’t mean it’s impossible that he goes and does really well for them in that league of course).

[Hibees1973]

Will anybody on Europe have everything in place in the next 48 hours?

My comment was a bit tongue in cheek.

However, it's difficult to under estimate the overhaul still needed if Hibs are genuinely serious about getting to the Europa Conference group stages and 3rd in the table.

Fish was an upgrade on Porteous, not that Porteous was necessarily a bad player but he was ridiculously overrated as a Hibs player (I’m assuming he’s as good for Watford as he chooses to be for Scotland).

Which made me think more doidge to Dundee Utd , Mckirdy back to one of the 3 clubs linked with him or possibly Maloney back in for Henderson .
