Summer transfer thread 2023

[147lothian]

A fit, firing kamberi would be the best striker at the club right now...

I'll take flack for that, but it's true.

Until we see vente hopefully.

Kamberi had the good fortune of playing for us when we had arguably the best midfield in the SPL with McGeough and McGinn. If Kamberi was with us today with our current midfield I don't think he would be anything like the player we remember, just my opinion.

[Torto7]

Personally would definitely play Campbell as a genuine goal threat. Also possible we can change from our rigid system to suit the players available. 442 with midfield diamond shape. Youhan and Alf up top.

The diamond might suit Josh but it certainly wouldn't suit our fullbacks. We'd have zero width playing like that.

[hibees 7062]

Flo Kamberi is a free agent🤔

Says it all eh

[MWHIBBIES]

😂

Ever since that time he went to McDonald's drive thru for a Big Mac meal deal (large) and then went home to look at himself in the mirror, he knew that's what he wanted to do at 3pm every Saturday.

Guy will have made a fortune and will easily get another club. Can't say I'm really laughing at him.

[eastmainsmsh]

***** patter when he joined der Hun
Good player for us as well
Maybe agent the problem

[NAE NOOKIE]

Flo Kamberi is a free agent🤔

Wouldn't want him if he offered to pay 2 grand a week to play for us.

[snedzuk]

Out with the loan spell with us, has there ever been a Kamberi that is firing?

Does firing a chair at him count?

[JimBHibees]

The diamond might suit Josh but it certainly wouldn't suit our fullbacks. We'd have zero width playing like that.

Why both Lewis`s can get forward well enough

[SHODAN]

I'd take Kamberi back if he got a "**** THE HUNS" face tattoo.

[Torto7]

Why both Lewis`s can get forward well enough

Lewis is gash going forward and doing so means Hanlon has to cover the flank which is always a bad thing. In a diamond the fullbacks get forward or there's no width. If we had Doig and Miller then fine but it's asking a bit much from Lewis at his age and it's never been a strength of his anyway.

Don't think he is gash at anything. Still very fit as last season proved was sensational in the win over Celtic

Was no longer first team keeper so makes sense to get money for him

According to the rumour mill:

Agreed. But nobody can pretend Lewis has ever been an effective attacking fullback. He gets up the pitch fine, but beat a man and get a cross in, nah, that's never really been his game. As for being fit, yes he always has been the guy is a machine. But in pre season it seemed to me he was struggling a bit in the heat .. it's not a criticism, age catches up with every player, even one as tough as Lewis.

[Donegal Hibby]

Papers reporting Aberdeen close to signing Kiwi fullback James Mcgarry who plays for central coast mariners. Is he any good ?

[JimBHibees]

He does get up and provide width though to stretch the opposition. Agree crossing never been the best

:agree: Gives them a decent squad with some good players, I think the Championship is going to be a cracking league this season. Even Airdrie have formed a good group of players and two young Hibees to help out, maybe bad news for Arbroath though, they've recruited from the lower leagues and the lowland league, I think they might struggle. Probably be less than the 32 points between top and bottom there was last season.

They would definitely improve Dunfermline if they sign for them. I'd like to see Dunfermline back in the top flight. Always enjoyed the short trip across the Forth to East End Park. Decent supporters club there, and some decent pubs in the centre.

Maybe should be in the clubs signing the wrong player thread 😂

[Unseen work]

Will we be looking for a right back?

Delferriere and Miller both starting a leg each which surprised me

I thought Miller would be first choice, unless he was injured tonight and that’s why Delf started.

I thought Delf done alright tonight, skinned a bit too easy at times but he is young.

If neither of them are the men though I’d really like to see us go for Strain from St Mirren.

Does Strain actually play as a RB? Seen many a St Mirren fan saying he's never a RB and a more offensive than defensive RWB.

Delf was skinned once or twice but he looked very comfortable and composed on the ball, he used it very well.

It might be a big ask for him if he was likely to be coming up against a streetwise, hairy arsed SPFL pro but if we were talking about a game we'd be expecting to have a lot of the ball and dominate, I think he'd be fine.

I'm not sure we've got RB sorted but I guess there's only one way to find out.

We need to strengthen both full back positions. They need to have pace, strength, be able to tackle properly and have sufficient height to defend crosses to the far post. Both tonight’s starting full backs let the team down at times.

I think Obita has been signed as first choice left back and hopefully that’s his back to fitness. Stevenson is getting a bit past it imo but he’s still good enough as second choice.

Delferriere us not a RB, he can play there but he's more comfortable in midfield, LJ was bigging him up pre game, he could do a Lewis and nake that position his own though.

Been really impressed this past 6 months, he came from a good level so I'm glad they've persisted with him, looks very comfortable on the ball, reminds me a bit like Whittaker who can play in 3-4 positions.

He won the ball back umpteen times in the first half and was well up for it. Think he just needs game time now. He is a tank, and probably the thickest legs I’ve ever seen.

Livi have an option to buy at the end of the loan too, no huge surprise.

With Mackay now gone, Tavares MIA and Johnson already mentioning he wants another winger youd imagine one is imminent.

Suppose we have to trust them. Struggling to think of that many players we’ve let go that have went on to do that well elsewhere - Collins, Wotherspoon maybe a few others. I thought he showed enough in the glimpses I saw of him with ICT to be worth keeping as someone to come off the bench, but that’s now two managers who haven’t fancied him.

I was delighted when we signed Mackay, thought that was exactly type of player we should be going for. TBH though, he never really impressed me back at ICT last season despite his cup goals. He came on in Andorra, limited time but just ran into full back on 3 occasions, apparently v poor at Blackpool. I think its a win win, hopefully does well at Livi, do well against our competitors, maybe make us some money.

Levitt had proved himself on loan the season before, not really his fault United imploded the way they did, nothing wrong in signing players from lower league or teams, some work and some don't, it looks like Mackay hasn't worked and he's levelled off, it happens and we move on.

[JammyDoidger]

Looks like a loan move for cover at RW then with Mackay off.

A few players staked a claim for more starts even if it was against lower opposition. Dodige was excellent last night.

Jury still out on JDH for me, there was a ball he tried to play to Boyle which just didn't have the legs, that's the kind of balls I want to see from Levitt.

Would still love a bit of technical quality in the number 10 role but fair play to Campbell who maybe didn't have the best of games but still got 2 Goals.

That's a quality signing tbf.

Almost as quality as Garang Kuol. Might as well give Hearts the trophy now.

For all their supposed millions upon millions they sign a player on loan from a rival.

It’s was told by a Jambo that they’d be breaking their transfer record on more than one occasion this summer!

Didn't work out too bad for them.

We'll see how Hearts get on this season but for what it's worth I think on face value we've signed better.

[bingo70]

I would have reservations if we signed Lowry.

Young old firm players rarely live up to the hype when sent out on loan I think. If he was as good as they were making out they would keep him as an option to come off the bench.

I'd maybe take a Celtic player on loan if the circumstances were right. They've worked out fine in the past, but obviously if we had choice I'd rather develop our own players.

No way should we be taking Rangers players on loan. I actually feel sorry for the players, it puts them in a very difficult situation where they can't do right for doing wrong - remember Middleton and having to be careful which pictures he had on his social media and Kamberi basically burning all his bridges with us in one interview. Docherty did well but it just didn't feel right.

Lowry's one of those players I've never seen but you hear so many people say he's a good player that it becomes accepted fact that he is. Might work out for him over there, might not, doesn't have me disappointed that we don't have him and doesn't exactly have me quaking in my boots that they're going to soar above us off the back of taking a youngster with minimal prior first team exposure.

I'm not saying we will definitely finish 3rd, but crazy that 4 so called experts on Scottish football don't even mention our name when last year we were 1 goal in the final game of the season from finishing above their beloved Hearts, and only 5 points behind Aberdeen.

Exactly that I wouldn’t say I’m a massive LJ fan I’m on the fence.

But he did turn it round after the mid season blip.

But the media in Scotland dote on Aberdeen and hearts it’s actually quite scary, hibs always seem to have the headlines ready to be made ridiculed off.

You could tell the wolves were ready to lynch hibs and LJ for getting pumped out on Thursday night

As you say one goal away from fifth and our games after the split form was very impressive, Aberdeen were miserable against us.

There's a definite agenda against Hibs like and it's not paranoia, I get the impression we are basically irrelevant to pundits in Scottish football unless we are in a poor position and they can stick the knife into us. The money we've spent, ambition we've shown, and most importantly backing of the manager and absolutely zero credit.

It’s definitely a weird one. Even with my natural bias as a fan I don’t see what we ever do to get that reaction. We don’t have a false sense of importance or are still living in the 80s or fuel religious bigotry like other teams I could mention yet it certainly feels like we are an easy target.

He really is a clown. I can’t stand Craigan. I watched an under 19’s game against Motherwell when he was coaching and he spent the whole game screaming and being the most obnoxious prick to the point the Motherwell officials in the stand were cringing.

To be fair Robson did have a great run last season.

If it was a Hibs manager would we be sitting here saying it was just a fluke? I'd imagine not if most are honest

When he took over they were about 13 points behind Hearts in 3rd. To get them 3rd place from that position was a remarkable turnaround.

He done a great job last season, calling it a fluke sounds a bit bitter.

As I said if it was a Hibs fan and we seen Dons fans saying that, we'd rightly call them out on it.

[Jones28]

Robson finishing third last season was impressive tbf. To take them from where they were to where they finished was a great achievement for a first time coach.

Let’s see how they get on now that the honeymoon period is over. Their record against top six teams from last season is not bad, the only team they didn’t beat under Robson was Celtic, but beating Celtic isn’t for everyone I suppose.

FWIW I think Johnson’s fifth placed finish is just as impressive considering how ***** our results were prior to the winter break, especially considering how close we were to finishing above champions elect Hearts.

[Manxhibs]

We don’t have any of their pals in the coaching or playing team, so always get ignored by the BBC. We also have given them a convenient excuse to overlook us or say we will have a troubled season. (1st leg defeat). It’s just laziness on their part and for me shows that their “expert” opinion carries no weight at all.

I cannot predict this season, there are too many unknowns from most of the non old firm teams. All I do know is that it’s going to be a rollercoaster ride supporting Hibs again, as it always is!

[Borderhibbie76]

I’d prefer to sweep under the radar, but I’m sure our first leg showing didn’t help when putting in their predictions. But 3rd is a realistic target for us so we need to start being more consistent every week and not occasionally.

[Col2]

You just have to look at who they asked.

Crichton and Craigan have an established dislike towards Hibs and will reuse the same line each week re Hibs. Willie Miller can’t see past anything Aberdeen and Kenny Miller just wants to talk about Rangers.

So another season with these clowns. Some opinions, sound bites, bias. You would think BBC Scotland would make the effort to bring in some fresh views.

:agree:100%. You only have to refer back to Thursday’s match. Every opportunity to ‘down’ Hibs was taken. When the ‘hoped for’, Hibs capitulation didn’t happen and we took control of the game, every one of them gave faint, grudging praise. Even top class moves and finishes were somehow given a negative spin, if not in actual words, but by innuendo and indifference. No-one on here, and there are a few, will convince me that our frustration at BBC anti Hibs bias is imagined or paranoid.

I think that there may be a lot of jealousy towards Hibs, not on the playing side but in the fact we have the best stadium outside Glasgow and our own purpose built training centre.

Good point about the coverage. How we are stuck with jambo McLaughlin at every game is ridiculous. Always trying the nippy question to get a rise out of Hibs managers. Definite agenda not to get more neutral or Hibs leaning coverage. As you say the derbies are always very fair coverage not. When you have Preston taking great delight live on radio of someone scoring against Hibs you know the coverage maybe isn't as fair as it should be.

[Real Emerald]

Utterly bizarre we never at least merited a mention as you say for best of the rest. Good motivation for the club management and players to prove that wrong.

The BBC definitely have an agenda against Hibs and as long as this shower of pundits are present, coupled with the producers of the programme allegedly being Jambos too then things won’t change. The only way we can get to them is by being successful on the pitch. That still won’t stop them putting our highlights on last every week and the constant thinly veiled digs they have against us. It’s really unprofessional but they seem to get a childish kick out of it.

His dad is more a rugby fan than football. His name has nothing to do with Hearts. We had Rudi at Lochend for a few years. Great boy and his family are super nice. His dad used to come along to games with a stove and make food for everyone. It was always Rudi’s physicality that made him stand out. Even at 9/10! Stronger than most and loads of energy. He’s another that will be “doing numbers” at HTC.

His dad is more a rugby fan than football. His name has nothing to do with Hearts. We had Rudi at Lochend for a few years. Great boy and his family are super nice. His dad used to come along to games with a stove and make food for everyone. It was always Rudi’s physicality that made him stand out. Even at 9/10! Stronger than most and loads of energy. He’s another that will be “doing numbers” at HTC.

Thought he did well v Groningen and didn’t lookout of place at that level. He just needs to get game time this season to kick on

[Borderhibbie76]

I wonder if there is any chance of getting Benji Siegrist on a loan from Celtic - notice he isn't even on bench today - would be a great addition if Wollacott/Marsh are out long term

Good to hear. Always nice when a local boy breaks through. Thinking back to 60s/70s European Nights when about half the team, e.g. Wilson, Duncan, Stanton, Cormack, Stevenson, O'Rourke, Merv Jones, Cropley etc, were boyhood Hibs fans. Actually, back in 64, Jimmy and Eric were the 2 subs against Real Madrid.

Talented Midfielder according to a Rangers fan I know Got an injury last season so probably sending him out to get experience and see how he goes Scored against Hearts at Tynie last game of season 21/22according to my mate and got really good write ups after it

Was speaking to a hun the other day and he said Lowry could be top class for Hearts but his attitude is poor. A lot of clubs not prepared to take a chance on him. Certainly has bags of ability from what I've seen but hopefully falls flat on his arse.

[Hiber-nation]

If i hear his "Hibs don't have an identity" line one more time I'm gonna smash the TV

The only way we'll get credit from them is by finishing 3rd. Apart from JC and Yogi there are no "Hibs-minded" pundits out there and even these 2 favour the lesser greens. Even Bartley was critical of us last season.

[Dazzjw1875]

Wonder if we will be trying to get another winger to cover Boyle and let him gradually come back? Especially since we let one just leave to Livi.. I would defo make a move for El Haddadi don't think he would cost much and over the 2 legs we played Inter he stood out the most, well along with the guy in CM but cannae mind his name.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

Let’s be honest, we scraped into the top 6 and had one of the worst results ever last week. Can totally see why the pundits from BBC biased media wouldn’t back us.

If we concentrate on performing consistently at our best then come the end of the season we will have proved them all wrong. I’m quite optimistic we can have a good season, alongside blooding some more young players which is a real highlight of being a Hibs fan

We surely have to sign another wide player as we can't be playing Boyler Thurs/Sun for next few weeks??

Put youan out on the right and stick obita on the left, that's where he came on during the week so must be comfortable playing there

Thats fine short term but means relying on 36 year old Lewy playing LB thurs/sun for next few weeks which is also not ideal

I think most of this chat is paranoid nonsense - even so I can't believe anyone gets themselves worked up about pundit opinions. Sometimes they say nice stuff about Hibs, sometimes they don't - who cares 🥱

If Hibs are winning they'll get the praise they deserve.

Spot on. They are just filling air time. It’s just a job. The idea that Leanne Crichton has some sort of inbuilt dislike of Hibs is just nonsense.

I'm not disagreeing. We need to earn praise. I wish they would actually show some interest in us though.

If we don't beat luzern it will be for a week, hopefully that's not the case though, a couple of weeks and Boyle will be fine

How naïve. Scotland is a sectarian cesspit. They're scared of slagging off Celtic these days(plus they win all the time) Hibs are fair game.

He seems to think it's some kind of clever insight but it is on fact utterly meaningless. Last year was a transitional season for us but that's too much to grasp for the useless jakey

[davhibby]

Adam Bogdan is at the Celtic game today, wouldn’t be against asking if he’d sign a short term deal

I'll bet money he is about to sign for celtic. Rodgers knows him well.

He was also visiting HTC on Friday…. But I wouldn’t read much into it.

Was listening to off the ball today "biscuits" was asked about the lowry signing, went into a stupid dig at hibs fans saying judging by how quiet the hibs fans have been on social media shows you it's a good signing nothing else was said

I don’t listen to it now it’s become a a bit of a closed shop with same tired voices and opinions .Where nonsense like you have quoted goes unchecked as if fact His smug wee pro Hearts comments in particular annoyed me

[badabing67]

It's so anti-Scottish I would rejoice if Pacific Quay was to disappear forever

They are so west coast Scotland bias they can't be completely anti Scottish.

You shouldn’t have to not listen to it though. It should be a show where football experts discuss the games, league season and controversial decisions in a balanced way. This isn’t a programme that is bought by punters, it’s a National broadcast paid for by all BBC licence holders and should always be neutral, which they aren’t. The sheer amount of Hearts supporters they now have employed across their various shows constantly having digs at Hibs is ridiculous.

Of course he was at Liverpool when Rodgers was there.... Could be wrong though

[badabing67]

How do you know that

[PHeffernan]

Adam Bogdan is at the Celtic game today, wouldn’t be against asking if he’d sign a short term deal

He has played less than 20 league games in 4 seasons and is currently without a club. Those facts are connected.

[Greenbeard]

Your first sentence covers just about everything that spews from his know-it-all gob.

[Unseen work]

He’s been discussed a few times on here but I thought Yan Dhanda was really good for Ross county today.

He has one year left on his contract and valued at £650k.... could be one for the Jan window though

Is that a transfer market valuation? I doubt he would cost half of that but with the amount we’ve already spent I’d be surprised if we wanted to part way with that much money - probably more likely a loan.

McGrath is still without a club, interesting to see what happens there given ourselves and hearts were supposedly interested. Sounds a lot like agents trying to promote him though.

[coco mc]

In the announcement he mentions he's a boyhood fan; wonder if his Dad is from the other side given the name plus the fact that he was born just after the 2006 final?
Both are Hibs fans . Both came on out bus with the McIntyre brothers for Hampden games .
