I’d happily see Maguire leave but £20m is a bit of a joke

I agree, he's not worth that.

"John 3:16" is a Bible reference.

Don't ask me what it says however as I'm a devout atheist.
I'm curious to know why atheists (and vegans) feel obliged to share their 'beliefs' whenever they spot an opportunity?

Hertz supposedly signing a 6 foot Japanese striker ' Kyosuke Tagawa ' according to papers. Not got a great goal scoring record and Man United reject £20 million offer from West Ham United for Harry Maguire . Moyes according to article is a big fan of Maguire 😳

6 feet ? Ffs a striker wi 6 feet and another wi a massive heid, thats goals galore !!

Why? If not for the fact that he was signed for £80m but rather a price based on his performances and lack of game time over the last few years then £20m would be fair.

He’s 30 so not likely to have any resale value to a buying club and for Man U he can either sit on the bench drawing a high wage until his contract runs out or they can take whats offered and use the money and freed up wages to strengthen the first team.

I'm equally curious to know why adherents of one particular religion feel the need to proclaim their belief at a sporting event instead of their support for their team.

At least stating my own belief was relevant to why I was unable to fully answer the question of what "John 3:16" means. Another poster was able to provide the missing part so all is good.

I'm beginning to think our former striker is two sandwiches short of a picnic.

Sorry if mentioned on here already but does anyone know anything about the right back we have on trial. Miguel Cuadros Fernandez from Villarreal. Only 19.

He's more suited to a bbq than a picnic.

[Bostonhibby]

I was going to say that if he wasn't happy about not getting into the Hibs first team he was hardly going to get into the Brentford side though you make a good point in that he might be loaned out to a lower league side and put himself in the shop window. Now that he's gone we move on , still got some very good young players at Hibs though good luck to the lad in the future.

I'm thinking he is a guy with a bit of faith in his own ability, was seemingly well regarded at Hibs and thought he'd kick on again then recently had a look at what was getting a look in ahead of him and thought no, I'll try somewhere else.

As you say good luck to him. Many have gone the other way but he could just make a good career for himself.

He was released from Villarreal in the summer, he is 19 and plays anywhere down the right hand side, but his preferred position is right back. There is also another trialist from Villarreal who is a midfielder but i can't remember name or age.

Anyone else thinks that was a strange move for Laidlaw going to Brentford?

Time will tell but just don't see the opportunity for him.

Prices always largely come down to the status of the selling club and 700k seems a good price to me giving the apparent ability of the player.

We have posters on here turning their nose up at rumours of 1 million pounds for Josh Campell yet if this guy turns up and keeps up his scoring rate he could help us to 3rd and the 4 million pound plus extra income that comes with that, or be sold for several million a few years down the line.

This is the first time since the late 90s that I feel we are investing good money in the first team and if it pays off we could have an exciting few years ahead.

It’s a good point about the £700k fee.

We’ve of course never seen this guy play, but on paper he looks like he could be a much more valuable player to us than Campbell or any of our other players for that matter. If that’s the case then £700k could be a bargain. We wouldn’t be looking to sell any of our better players for £700k so I don’t think paying £700k for someone that could have the potential to be our best player is a bad thing at all.

I've looked at a couple of Italian football reporters on Twitter - Fabrizio Romano and Gianluca di Marzio (Sky Sports Italy) - who both report a lot of the transfer gossip from Italy and elsewhere - and neither of them have mentioned Vente to Palermo or Pisa. Maybe doesn't mean it won't happen but they seem to be on the ball about a lot of transfer gossip.

[CentreForward]

If the signing of Vente actually happens then it is certainly a real statement of intent. You don’t hear of 700k fees here too often unless it’s the OF. If you add this to the return of Fish and the permanent signing of Youan plus the signing of Levitt and one or two others then that’s a pretty good window so far. I’m prepared to calm down a bit now about the debacle of the other night in Andorra and give the club a bit of credit for these transfer dealings. Up to the players now though to start performing. If we can get through in Europe on Thursday night and then beat St Mirren then things will suddenly start to look a whole lot better. Quite possibly one or two more signings to come as well. Those fans screaming abuse at the players on Thursday night wasn’t a good look, although of course you can understand their frustration, so the players need to get the fans back on their side pretty soon.

Published two hours ago:

"Vente is about to sign a three-year contract with Scottish side Hibernian FC."

Roda JC has included the (upcoming) sale of Bryan Limbombe and Dylan Vente in the budget for the coming season. In principle, this means that no extra player budget is released. Football affairs manager Robbie Servais confirms this in conversation with ZO-NWS.

Limbombe left for Eredivisie club Heracles a few weeks ago and Vente is about to sign a three-year contract with the Scottish Hibernian FC. "We had already included the sale of Limbombe and Vente for a certain amount in the budget. That is why we kept our foot stiff in terms of transfer prices during the negotiations about these two players," Servais explains.

"We had to do that in order to achieve the financial target, with all the associated risks. If those transfers had not taken place, we would have had to deal with a budget deficit," says Roda JC's technical boss. "Not insurmountable, but very annoying, because we want to handle our finances responsibly. The transfer income does not go straight to the players' budget."

"Because of that budgeted income, we don't have to go back in the player budget compared to last year and that is a good performance despite a bad season. The profit this year should be in the more targeted use of resources and a balanced interpretation of the selection in terms of quality and mentality," says Servais.

"I would like to explain that to the fans because we think this image does exist, that alleged increase in the player budget. We can, however, get a new player with Dylan's salary," says the technical boss. Together with the technical heart of Roda, he is looking for a replacement for the 24-year-old goal getter.

"We have had a list of possible successors for Dylan for some time. However, what we are dealing with at the moment is that players first want to wait to see if they will get opportunities at larger clubs than Roda. As Roda, we are sometimes as waiting third or fourth in line. Planting many seeds and striking at the right time is the motto. We have already announced our interest to a number of players, you always have to do that," says Servais.

The Phoenix group, the regional lenders that saved Roda JC from collapse a few years ago, is changing its structure. The financiers will remain affiliated with the Kerkrade club as sponsors and will join the social project 'Healthy in my region'. Phoenix transferred around two million euros to Roda last season and that will not change in the new construction.

This is indeed the case, despite all the doom and gloom at the moment, there are things to be positive about, first of all it seems to me like this is the first time in the past 30 odd years that money is coming into the club and is being spent on where supporters want to see it spent on, the team on the park.

Funny though isn't it that the ITK brigade never come on to talk the club up, they only become itk when it suits the negative agenda? You really think players like youan, fish, CJ Egan Riley would be so positive about Hibs if it were true?

Last season Johnson himself acknowledged that player unrest as part of too large a squad was a reality, and the club have addressed that to a huge degree.

Let's not pretend we really know eh? Give the season a chance to start before putting the boot in and feeding the hysteria?

Is it paper thin? I actually believe the young players are being given a chance to stake a claim for a place. We moan about Laidlaw being pushed out due to lack of opportunity and substandard players blocking the pathway so why not keep it clear for a few?

Midfield in particular looks strong for youth coming through? Megwa and delferrier can play right back too...imo it's the forward line which needs an upgrade still

Was that not something like the fee that was rumoured/quoted for Nisbet in the January before he did sign for us. I think we got him for less but if we did pay that we still would of done ok out of it.

The whole bloomin' club hasn't fallen apart coz of one admittedly horrible performance. It seems mental if there is indeed unrest in the camp or dissatisfaction with the manager that Fish, Myko and Youan all seem keen enough on the club to either sign on or express a desire to return to it. CJ Egan-Riley had nothing but good things to say about his time at Hibs.

OK there might have been a bit of moaning because the players weren't given personal Lear jets to Andorra and it was allegedly a 3 hour bus ride to the stadium ... but it's hardly a John Collins situation. Anyway, if a three hour bus journey is horrendous treatment pity help any of them if they ever sign for Carlisle or Queen of the South.

Whatever 'this' is I can't help thinking it's been massively exaggerated.

It could be that the Gordon’s are investing as the new Director of Football has an impressive track record of finding talent at a higher level then Hibs But he has maybe persuaded them a couple of players costing more could pay dividends in the longer run when sold

You think? There's been bad feeling since Johnson was installed as manager!

Maybe between your ears. I felt pretty good in the advent of of victories over Celtic, Hearts and Aberdeen to name a few and have enjoyed the more attacking brand of football that you seem determined not to acknowledge.

Wow. I don't think I ever said that. If you can show me where I posted that, I'd be grateful..... For what it's worth, I like LJ. I was merely commenting on the fact that there has, amongst a section of the fanbase, been discontent with him since the day he was appointed. And the posters who feel that way don't hide it. If I said that, for the most part, I have enjoyed the more attacking style, will you acknowledge you were 110% wrong about me?..........

[Dmas]

Gonna join in here .... coming into what?

The whole bloomin' club hasn't fallen apart coz of one admittedly horrible performance. It seems mental if there is indeed unrest in the camp or dissatisfaction with the manager that Fish, Myko and Youan all seem keen enough on the club to either sign on or express a desire to return to it. CJ Egan-Riley had nothing but good things to say about his time at Hibs.

OK there might have been a bit of moaning because the players weren't given personal Lear jets to Andorra and it was allegedly a 3 hour bus ride to the stadium ... but it's hardly a John Collins situation. Anyway, if a three hour bus journey is horrendous treatment pity help any of them if they ever sign for Carlisle or Queen of the South.

Whatever 'this' is I can't help thinking it's been massively exaggerated.

Well said, unbelievable amount of people in our fan base all to ready to try and make a bad situation as worse as possible, this guy ventre nobody knew of before the game on Thursday all of a sudden hate us all and won’t sign.

It must be brutal working for hibs these days, we’re either winning the league or it’s end of days absolutely no middle ground one extreme to the next

I was being a touch facetious. Reading through the posts about it, the "good source" close to the first team seemed to indicate that the arse had indeed fallen out of the whole place.

So let him pack it in, we can't play him for the sake of keeping around a player that......isnt good enough to play?

If that was the case I'd call Marshall's bluff right now by dropping him for Thursday.

Plenty time to get another goalie in.

Can't have players threatening to chuck it if they are dropped.

I’m not going to slaughter Johnson for the comments, though it would be a strange thing for the fan to make up the one about Marshall in particular. A bit misguided by Johnson if it is true.

[Hibernian Verse]

There’s no way a manager would risk his job by selecting a keeper because if he doesn’t he will need to buy another. Fully expect Wollacott on Thursday.

[Is It On....]

It’s a good point about the £700k fee.

We’ve of course never seen this guy play, but on paper he looks like he could be a much more valuable player to us than Campbell or any of our other players for that matter. If that’s the case then £700k could be a bargain. We wouldn’t be looking to sell any of our better players for £700k so I don’t think paying £700k for someone that could have the potential to be our best player is a bad thing at all.

We thought the same about Melkerson and we know how that worked out. It's not just about the amount you spend, it's also about whether the player identification analysis has been done correctly in the first place. Hopefully we are improving on that front...

We have no idea where Marshall’s head after losing the captaincy, and then then the blunder on Thursday. Maybe LJ is trying to protect him, but for me if his head is not 100% focused, he can’t play on Thursday

Needs tae shut his pus.

If he's got a gripe he can go to Kensell and take the folk at the club who agree with him to make a case as to why LJ is so terrible as a man or at his job, or both. Not pass on tasty little tit bits to fans who know him in the hope they will be spread all over Hibs.net or the Bounce.

Youan and Miller our only decent players first half Thursday and I'm not sure we need another Left winger but thanks for the update anyway.

We ended the season linked strongly with Johnny Williams who if I'm wrong is is a number 10/CAM. I have no idea who but this is the area we need to invest in.

With a younger player I would be more worried but with Marshall’s experience I think he’s more than strong enough to bounce back mentally.

I’m just worried that he’s physically past it.

So win, win make Marshall #2 and he will pack it in and we don't have pay him off, and we could get way better with the wage. Marshall needs to move on

A left winger? Really think we need a right winger in much more. No one as natural cover for Boyle with McKirdy out for the foreseeable. Youan, Obita and MacKay can all play left.

Still a few signings away from being there I reckon. I'm sure we'll get loans in as cover. Let's hope they're the same standard as Fish, CJ and Youan last year

Agreed. I think it's obvious Mr "good source" has an agenda. I mean, he's never quoted in a positive light when things are going well. Nothing during our wee winning run, after the Aberdeen or Derby wins yet as soon as results and performances drop he's mumping his gums apparently to all who are willing to listen.

Have to agree. Nothing at all during the top six run in either where everyone in the stands could see the players were all in it together.

You can usually tell straight away when a manager has lost the place. I've not or have never been 100% on-board with LJ (I am getting there mind you) but looks to me like the players are with him, and that's what maters really.

[basehibby]

Imagine the uproar on here if we sold two players, one of them for £750k, and the club came out and said that in fact the fee is already included in next year's budget so there won't be any more money to spend. :greengrin

Miller’s best games have come against Celtic, home and away.

That would suggest he’s comfortable with a step up in quality and given he’s another of those who had a nightmare at Falkirk a year ago and then on Thursday, maybe it’s the “getting at” weaker teams he struggles with?

He looks like a right back to me, just needs a few games fit to find his feet. Whether we have the patience or inclination to let someone grow into a role these days, I don’t know.

Who knows but it’s such an important position. For me he looks cumbersome and when he gets up the park he seems to take an age to recover and get back. He’s not built like a right back and doesn’t seem to have the movement and dexterity to play in that position in todays game. He looks more like a centre forward to me. I’ll still give him maximum support and hope he proves me wrong though if he’s in the team,

There’s definitely something awkward about him. He looks a bit tentative, like he doesn’t yet have total belief that he’ll get away with playing his own game at this level. There are aspects to his touch and the way he positions himself relative to the ball that sometimes just looks a bit clumsy.

That said, I do think he has the physical attributes to be a good attacking RB and if he could just sort a few of these rough edges out, he’d be fine.

Interesting that in his poor games the midfield has also been minging. Not sure if the midfield is struggling because he is or he’s struggling because the midfield is. And he’s had a couple of very decent games when JDH has been on his game.

I know this is maybe a silly comparison but when you watched Paul McGinn, he looked like a right back that had absolutely mastered the position. I’ve deliberately not compared SDG as that would be silly. Paul McGinn was never a superstar but he was a right back and bar a few mistakes and misplaced crosses I had faith in him. I’m not that secure with Miller and no, I don’t think Paul McGinn is the answer either . Just not easily pleased. 😂

I didn’t see him in the Celtic game as I was out the country and believe he was really good. I don’t think he’s awful but in every game I’ve seen he just doesn’t look like he’s good enough for that position. That maybe not good enough yet. He’s a lump of a guy and has a brilliant throw but the jury is out for me as a right back. Glad Ito be proved wrong though.

[number9dream]

The other thing is that Obita is also an attack-minded player, which means 2 full backs who want to bomb on. Tough for the centre backs, requires positional discipline and awareness.

The other thing is that Obita is also an attack-minded player, which means 2 full backs who want to bomb on. Tough for the centre backs, requires positional discipline and awareness.

It also means that Jeggo will be an important player as he can provide cover when the full backs are attacking.

[Jones28]

Great post. Folk actively make things worse than they really are. Endless negativity, made up crap about x,y, and z, and absolutely reveling in any drama.

It's probably reflective of life these days, but as a long term user and huge advocate for this site, it's harder and harder to enjoy it because of the sheer relentlessness of some dullards.

Great post Matty.

The one thing Jeggo actually does positively. He can read a game to be fair to him. It’s just a pity once he gets the ball he very rarely finds a Hibs player.

It does seem to have gone a bit quiet. I wonder if interested teams are still looking at other (maybe preferred) options and any move for Doig is dependent on whether they get the other options in or not. Or maybe they are waiting to move on someone who is surplus to requirements first?

[theonlywayisup]

There’s definitely something awkward about him. He looks a bit tentative, like he doesn’t yet have total belief that he’ll get away with playing his own game at this level. There are aspects to his touch and the way he positions himself relative to the ball that sometimes just looks a bit clumsy.

That said, I do think he has the physical attributes to be a good attacking RB and if he could just sort a few of these rough edges out, he’d be fine.

Interesting that in his poor games the midfield has also been minging. Not sure if the midfield is struggling because he is or he’s struggling because the midfield is. And he’s had a couple of very decent games when JDH has been on his game.

That's the point that I keep coming back to, the midfield is the main reason we struggle in games, either because they are not creative enough or because they don't close down the opposition well enough. Yes, we can say we need another left back /right back / central defender / winger / striker, but maybe it's the midfield we need to sort out.

It's obvious to me, when reading Hibs.net, that every one of our midfield players generates posts ranging from "very poor, get rid" to "I'd keep XYZ but he needs better around him". The reality is that they are all good players, on their day, but individually and collectively they are not good enough if we want to be more consistent at the level we all want Hibs to compete at.

Over the last few seasons, it's been pretty obvious the midfield needs sorted, but it seems to be the area that we ignore, probably because we gave 3/4 year deals to players who IMO are just not (consistently) good enough.

[blackpoolhibs]

I thought our keeper yesterday was very comfortable on the ball,and couldn't be faulted at any of the goals,he also came off his line and punched a couple of crosses when Marshall would have stayed on his line,it looked to me like he helped the young defence a bit more than we currently see with Marshall, but it was only a friendly and we do need to see him under more pressure in a league match to make a proper opinion.

Given his career so far, it's reasonable to think that Wollacot will be of a similar standard to Nick Colgan, Mark Oxley or Matt Macey. Decent, but no world beater.
By the same criteria, Marshall should have been another Leighton and Logan another Tony Caig :wink:

A couple of things I like about the Dutch lad - that's one hell of a scoring record irrespective of the level he's been at. Second thing is that to score that many you'd assume that he's been playing every week and not been injured much. We could do with more of the type who seem to be fit and ready to play every week rather than those who are either injured or about to get injured.


We'd have a really strong starting XI for sure. Still really lack depth though.

The depth and the standard of player we might need to rely on from time to time is really worrying. Not for this year but I've liked hearing the good reports about the young lads out on loan, Aiken particularly. A few of them coming back next year and staking a claim to be proper squad players who could come in and be effective when needed would be really useful.

[Broken Gnome]

Based on absolutely nothing logical, I'm still highly sceptical this Vente deal is happening.

Can't really remember a story that's gained so much through very little? Dutch reports and Twitter feeds suggest it's happening, Scottish media only seem to be copying that with all very vague 'if it's true, he could be signed by next week' follow ups? Nothing else to put some sort of concrete info behind it?

Just feels an odd out-of-nowhere story, especially for what is pretty much going to be our record transfer fee.

[JohnM1875]

Would love it as well, just can't see it happening. Especially when it's looking like we'll be playing with one through the middle.

We're not going to spend £700k and not start Vente. And Myko isn't going to want to sit on the bench.

No idea! You'd have to hope not. Still a few players I'd like us to move on. Henderson, one of Doidge or Melkersen and Tavares.

[Hibees1973]

Just a lack of buyers for our duds, which is not surprising.

Best hope is to loan them out but with us still paying at least 75% of their wages.

This or trying to negotiate with their agents for them to leave and paying them off which would be mighty expensive for the likes of Tavares, Henderson Melkersen, & JDH given they have 2-3 years left on their contracts.

After reading it again I think your right mate in it does mean that Vente is the " another " tbh. If we do sign Vente who is rumoured to be costing us around 700K and with spending nearly a million on our other signings that must be about Nisbet's money spent I'd guess . I wonder will we see a couple of more players coming ( possibly loans?)though might of course depend on moving a few out too.

[badabing67]

I was thinking similar, I think Myko looked quite comfortable playing upfront on his own and it is difficult to find good strikers that can do that. I'm not sure about Vente and if he can play up front on his own. And as we know there are so many mangers that insist on playing 1 up front even if its not that a suitable option for many strikers.

[CentreForward]

I know it might seem like a luxury but if we do get Vente then it would be really good to have Myko as well. Remember that we would really be only one injury to Vente away from just having ALF and maybe just the back up of Doidge/Melks if those 2 are even still at the club. I guess Myko on top of Vente would just cost too much but it would be really good.

[Libby Hibby]

If Vente comes in with ALF up top, I’d keep Doidge as back up and offload Melkerson if we can.

Doidge still looks like he could offer something but not as a starter.

[StarMan10]

Doidge still looks like he could offer something but not as a starter.

As others have mentioned, Doidge will be on decent wage which factors in to why we’re keen to offload. Otherwise I’d agree as a last 20 minute striker if we needed to play direct, he’d be a reasonable option to keep around. Not a luxury we can afford if it stops us from strengthening the team.

I liked the guy Dhanda at Ross County.

I’m not sure if he would be good enough but that type of player I still think we need. If Levitt is playing deeper I worry about where our creativity is coming from. The only attacking midfielder we have is Campbell but he’s more Pat McGinley than Russel Latapy and I think we need both, even if one is to come off the bench if we’re struggling to break a team down.
