Summer transfer thread 2023

[Luna_Facts]

I know someone that did some scouting work for Hibs and he handed them a dossier on the Luzern no. 69 (I know) before he signed for Luzern

He was quite handy I think he'd do well in our league

[Hibbyradge]

Still think we will go back for Egan-Riley, must be about over the injury by now

Wiki still has him on our books.

[bingo70]

I've a feeling we will get Lewis Fiorini, especially with Levitt's injury now.

Sure I read Fiorini was about to sign for Reading but got a bad injury which scuppered the deal.

Don’t think he is an option now.

He’s injured I think.

[J-C]

Be really happy if we did. Fiorini and CJ back on loan and we'd have a good squad I reckon.

Was there not something about Man C not sending him up as it would be seen as a foreign loan and they didn't want that.

[JohnM1875]

Ah you're right acually. Remember hearing about that. Definitely still need a few in before the window closes though

[Blaster]

Yeah I think they are only allowed 7 international loans. Hibs were unlikely to know until late in the window if they still had any available

[SHODAN]

Still badly need a solid cb, the defence still needs sorted.

We already have Harbottle but the manager seems to have already decided never to play him ever after one game like half of the players we get in.

Really liked the look of Luzerns number 6 Ardon Jashari. Most likely way out of our league as a Swiss international and said Celtic were looking last season.

[Wheat Hound]

Interesting. I saw after the game our coach Adam Owen in deep conversation with one of the Luzern players. I thought it was maybe their number 6 but couldn’t be sure.

Yup way out our league, didn't realise he was 21 aswell, was so composed for a player of that age.

Home grown academy players and U21s don’t count towards the international loan limit.

Villa get £14m for Aaron Ramsay from Burnley don't think The Rangers fans thought he was that price. Better not have him taking penalties.

Think he’s a different Aaron Ramsey, younger brother of Jacob who plays for Villa.

The 20-year-old, who is Villans midfielder Jacob Ramsey's younger brother, has made one senior appearance for the club.Now, Villa are prepared to sell him to newly-promoted Burnley for £14m, including add-ons.However, should his current club want him to return to Villa Park, the Villans have put a buy-back option into the deal.Villa boss Unai Emery confirmed he'd be keeping tabs on Ramsey, saying at his press conference: "Young players are very important for us.

What a ridiculous post - were 2 games in to league season and of course he wasn't gonna start over Hanlon and Fish in Europe...utter nonsense

As.i said him alone is probably the same value as our whole squad [emoji23]

No thanks.

I think it’ll be 3 out and 3 in. Think Henderson, Jair and Doidge will be the outs. Would not at all be surprised if we get bids for Josh Campbell too (hope not).

Left sided attacker, centre forward and left back in.

[NAE NOOKIE]

The injury to Levitt makes that an imperative now, it looked a shocker which if as bad as it looked could see him out for months. We absolutely need cover for Stevenson, no way he can play the whole season at his age, not the way he plays which is all about energy and endeavour. And it also now looks like we simply must get in a decent midfield player due to the Levitt situation.

[truehibernian]

Doidge won't be going anywhere.

I know a family member and he’ll want to stay in Scotland that’s for sure but I reckon we’ll try and use him as a makeweight to get someone in on a permanent- I like him a lot, a 100% committed player, but I think LJ wants a more mobile physical striker in.

I’ll find out next week but he’ll be a player with value we can ‘cash in’ on to get better in HR.

The amount we’ve wasted on Jair is eye watering and sooner he’s off the books the better.

Henderson and Tavares really need to be moved on but who's going to take them? They're under contract and probably on very decent money. Tavares so far out of the picture that I have more chance of making an appearance than him. I'd be really disappointed if Doidge left.

I like Doidge too, but I think he’ll move on. Tavares, where do you start - sad thing there is I reckon we’ll spend money to offload him. There’ll be plenty that’ll take Henderson on loan.

[Col2]

The Doig situation might also be a factor.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Aleksandar Mitrovic will join Saudi Pro League side Al-Hilal from Fulham, says manager Marco Silva.
The Serbia forward was not part of the Fulham squad for their 3-0 defeat to Brentford (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66482708) on Saturday, having pushed for a move away this summer.

The 28-year-old will join Neymar in Al-Hilal's attack, after the Brazilian moved to Saudi Arabia on Thursday. (https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66515890)
"He [Mitrovic] is on the way to leave the club. I got information from the club after the match," said Silva.
"Both clubs have got an agreement and now it's the moment where it is the finish of Mitrovic in our club."

Fulham will reportedly receive £50m (https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-12415121/Fulham-consider-50m-rated-Arsenal-striker-Folarin-Balogun-Aleksandar-Mitrovic-set-leave-Al-Hilal.html)

Not even sure if McGrath has been training with a club? He will have had no games of football and will probably be around 4 or 5 weeks behind everyone else fitness wise?

[Hibee Mac]

McGrath is so overrated, wouldn't go near him. Not what we need.

I agree with others that we must find a way to get Tavarez and Henderson off the books for good, they're acting as an anchor on our progress and shows you the impact that terrible recruitment has on later years.

[Hibees1973]

With the publicity and exposure we get when playing Villa, if any of our key players shine (Boyle, Newell, Youan) we may be vulnerable if a bid comes in for any of them. Know it would take an exceptional bid to sell any of these guys, but everyone has their price.

The difficulty we may have is getting a suitable replacement given the window closes soon.

I'd imagine a lot of clubs send scouts to ER to watch our players anyhow and if any of them shine in the Villa game it should put us in a good position to look for a good fee for them . Not that I'd want to lose Boyle , Newell or Youan though I'd imagine our club will have a contingency plan if we do lose one of our key players .

If he’s available and affordable I personally think he’s a no brainer.

Get the argument we shouldn’t blow a large part of our budget on him but as a squad player I’d be surprised if we could get a better fit for what we need right now.

[Unseen work]

Just said it in the match day thread but when you watch that first half and the one against Motherwell McGrath on a free seems a no brainer.

There will likely be far better options than him out there, but we desperately need a midfielder who can receive the ball on the half turn, play a pass and really create.

McGrath creates nothing.

I dinnae think he’s a terrible player. Would be a better option than Campbell, but McGrath isn’t what this midfield needs.

[JammyDoidger]

Nouble towards the end of the window would be decent, would give us something different, can play wide and through the middle. Wouldn't spend a lot on him but if we could get him for 250k say could be a good bit of business.

Martindale said they've had a few 'cheeky' bids from down south for Nouble, £250k would very much be in that category

[Keyser Sauzee]

McGrath is a run of the mill spl player, nothing more nothing less. Quite a few penalties at St Mirren have convinced a lot of people he’s far better than he is.

Wouldn’t disagree with that. I think the fees that have been quoted on here for Campbell are fantasy stuff.

[bordergreen]

Still a long way to go with recruitment. Midfield has been a problem for years. Still not addressed. We need a couple of midfielders who can play and have some strength and presence. We get bullied, or played through in the middle of the park too often, which puts us under pressure in defence. That is why we look so bad in games like today. Both full back positions need looked at too. Our current best options are not great, and our back up’s are not good enough. As others have said, another wide option probably needed too. Let’s hope there is some plan we don’t know about.

[Malthibby]

Assuming I don't have the name wrong my Celtic-minded friends rage over the money he has picked up from them while being unable to walk on grass

Obita can play further forward if need be.

If Lee Johnson, or anyone in charge of making decisions, is sitting thinking about spending £250k on Nouble just now, when it’s clear as day that we need to spend that money on the middle of the park, then we’re in an even bigger mess than I thought.

Right, surely things will start to move this week.

If we don’t sign a midfielder, particularly with Levitt out, it’ll be total negligence on our part. Even with Levitt there we need to improve that part of the pitch.

Another wide player required as we can’t just rely on Boyle and Youan.

Could really do with moving on Henderson and Tavares as well as getting others in. If we don’t sign another wide player then got to question letting Mackay go as he was at least an option there, though ultimate quality was questionable.

[Borderhibbie76]

I was sat at ER today questioning why we let Mackay and Melkersen go before getting more bodies in to replace them - we are so short on numbers at moment for both midfield and wide players - yet we've let both go out on loan - I know they aren't good enough but they could have played a part today instead of having to rely on Boyle and Youan. With injuries to Levitt and JDH midfield must be addressed too

Would have preferred to play the ball boy than Melkerson, Mackay would maybe offer something in this standard of game though.

I think you’ve answered your own question here - they’re NOT good enough therefore there’s no point in pretending that they’d be an acceptable alternative to either of those players.

By getting them out, we can focus on bringing folk in who are.

I have a bit of an issue with players who can only be trusted to come on for us with games won - you’re either good enough to contribute to a hard fought win against a stuffy side or you’re not good enough - full stop.

Upgrade on Jeggo/Campbell please.

That's what we needed before the start of the season, an upgrade on both.

We ended the season linked with Williams, which seemed a done deal.

Maybe we could build up a relationship with Villa over the two legs and they could loan us one of their young midfielders.

Agree with all of this - I’m assuming we are, as it’s painfully obvious we need reinforcements.

For now, that’s just an assumption, but sometimes to manage budgets there will be situations where players must depart before others can arrive.

Yeah and am guessing that's the case here we really to offload Henderson and Tavares, the fact Henderson never got on today's shows he's way out the picture too

[Eyrie]

Looking at our current options in midfield

Starters - Newell, Levitt
Can do a limited job - Jeggo, Campbell
Unreliable - Doyle-Hayes
Not good enough - Henderson, Tavares

So we need two midfielders right now. We'll make plenty from the Villa game so I'd like that invested in one permanent signing and a loan player. I'd also try to get the last three on the list away, even on loan.

I´d have JDH in team before Jeggo or Campbell ( the Campbell who struggled at the end of last season and continues to struggle now though he may have an injury problem ) . Reality is it`s very hard for us to sign a quality midfield player which is why we were signing limited players like Gogic a few years ago . Up to coaching team to get the best out of JDH etc

They could have played today if they were still here. But the chances are we would still have had to rely on Boyle and Youan as they likely wouldn’t have done anything. And even without the injuries to JDH and Levitt, midfield still needed addressed anyway. Quality isn’t there.

[Blaster]

Must admit at no point today at the game did I think I wish we had Melkerson or Mackay available for us

Coaching team can’t do much with JDH when he misses so much through injury.

At least when we signed Gogic he came in to do a specific job for us rather than many of these players we have now who excel at nothing. We should be able to find a midfielder on our budget (relative to the majority of the league) who is capable of coming in and being better than most teams have. There just seems a continued reluctance to do so.

So far the coaching team hasn't been able to get Doyle-Hayes to consistently have good games which means we can't rely on him. On an off-day he offers less than Jeggo or Campbell.

[ballengeich]

Can the critics of Josh Campbell provide a list of midfielders who scored more goals in the Premier division last season please.

For me the midfield problem seems to be getting a blend rather than individual deficiencies.

There won’t be many. But the problem is he’s scored in 6 of his 63 Premiership appearances. If he was regularly chipping in with goals then great. But it doesn’t happen very often and he just doesn’t offer enough when he’s not scoring.

If he’s the answer then we’re asking the wrong questions.

Not the type of player we need at all imo.

[matty_f]

It's glaringly obvious that we need to strengthen the midfield. I think we could stand to have someone less technically able if they have a bit of character and fight about them. We desperately need some 'pitch personality' - a Scott Brown or John McGinn type who absolutely hates losing and loves rattling the opposition and lifting the fans.

We are completely devoid of that type of player unless Newell is doing it.

Matty Jack came to Hibs as a defender and had success when he was moved into midfield role could we use Busheri in a similar role or a Harbottle.....

I mentioned trying to play Rocky in front of the defence a while back on this thread but not many fancying it. Maybe because I compared it to the Bartley role. For what its worth I think he could make a fist of it.

We’d have been better keeping Kenneh than moving Rocky into midfield.

[PHeffernan]

I’d take Ohara from st Mirren

Plus I’d try and move on Henderson, Tavares, Rocky

Replace with a winger

Get in Jason Kerr

Finger on the pulse as ever.

Jason Kerr did his ACL in November last year and Wigan don't expect him to be playing again until about Christmas. So he is burst and will return in 4 months after being injured for 13 months.

O'Hara is currently injured and has had one good season ever.

You are right about Tavares
1 out of 5
The mark of Zorro
Must do better

P.S. Baccus was the best midfielder in the SPL outside of the OF last season whose surname wasn't Clarkson

Makes very little sense unless Doidge is moving on. It’s probably the position on the pitch we need a signing the least.

Only plays through the middle as well according to the transfer market site.

Would make sense if we're going to persist playing 4-4-2 otherwise it is a bit weird.

I think that’s what makes the signing even more bizarre, that on paper he looks like he could actually be decent so presumably wouldn’t just be a aauD player.

It would be hard to be annoyed at a good player getting signed but you have to hope it’s not at the expense of the midfielders and right back we really desperately need.

Would be surprised. A centre forward is probably the last thing we need.

I don't think Doidge or ALF will be here next season personally, so it makes sense to strike while the opportunity arises for someone who is our first choice centre forward before it maybe becomes open season on him. Good to see us being proactive rather than reactive to these things.

[StarMan10]

Whilst there might be other positions that are higher priorities, if we’ve found a good deal that improves on Doidge with a young player that has potential re-sale value then it makes sense.

Can be no questioning Doidge’s effort in a Hibs shirt but he just doesn’t have the legs or sharpness. Not been the same player since that Achilles injury imo.

[Smartie]

This season he’s looked every bit the player he was pre injury and certainly wouldn’t be someone I’d be looking to upgrade next, with obvious deficiencies needing seen to.

Sure, but I don’t think “reserve CF” is where I’d be starting.

He’s been doing well, and I don’t know what signal it sends out when Doidge has basically been doing everything we could ask of him.

If the new guy has the ability to bang 15 goals in the league this season beside another 15 in Vente then it'll be worth every penny.

[Donegal Hibby]

Jamie McGrath?

Is Jamie McGrath what we need in midfield ? I'm not so sure TBH though with Campbell's form being poor probably due to a injury that is McGrath's main position in AM . He could also fill in for Youan or Boyles position too if needed . Versatile player's are always handy to have over the course of a long season imo . No transfer fee either .

[007]

Celtic would want from him us as the shirt sales with Pape on the back would recoup the transfer fee.

[Brightside]

I have not seen him play for years - so I've no idea how good he is.

[easty]

I don’t get the negativity around McGrath, sign him today and he instantly becomes our 2nd best midfielder on current availability.

That's not really the point though. We really need a midfielder who'll create something in the final third. McGrath isn't that. The fact that he's a better version of the midfielders we have just now, in a system that's clearly not working, is irrelevant.

[Alvin]

If Levitt is going to be out for any length of time we're in dire need of a midfielder who's good on the ball against a press and who can make passes. Can you imagine where we'd be if Newell gets injured.

[jeffers]

I don’t get the negativity around McGrath, sign him today and he instantly becomes our 2nd best midfielder on current availability.

Is that not more a reflection on how poor the rest of our midfield are rather than a reflection on how good he is ?

[Smartie]

I don’t get the negativity around McGrath, sign him today and he instantly becomes our 2nd best midfielder on current availability.

Me neither - other than that signing a couple of players from a relegated midfield should at least raise an eyebrow.

Whilst Ireland may not be the team they were, being good enough to get a cap for them should suggest that you’re good enough to play for Hibs a wee bit later.

[Nicho87]

McGrath would give us more than Henderson, Tavares or Melkerson

So far that reason I’d give him a 1 year contract

[CentreForward]

2 midfielders from last season’s relegated side. Levitt may turn out to be good but we do we really want McGrath as well? As for Pape, he seems to have a very ordinary scoring record for his Belgian side. Time will tell.

Just after checking and he came on for the last 20 minutes and once again did nowt . Offloading Henderson and getting McGrath in would be a improvement and we would have a more versatile player who could cover a few positions.

Now frantically trying to find a player who plays CM who's signed and goes straight into tomorrow's squad with a name that sounds like Pape Habib Gueye

Edit... It's obvious the foreign press have got their wires crossed and we are after 6'2 24 year old Pape Gueye. The 24 year old has been capped 17 times for Senegal and us contracted to Marseille and was on loan at Sevilla last season. Worth about £10m but it's obviously him 😁

It's been a slow week or so all around the league, could do with a couple midfielders asap. Wonder if we will wait for outgoings.

Like others said we need rid of Henderson and I would say JDH also.

A box to box midfielder, or press resister in new parlance. Someone who can receive the ball and drive 20 yards up the pitch. Newell does it fleetingly, when he isn’t doing it no one else performs that role.

Got to be a ‘number 10’ for me.

I think guys like that in this league are essential for a team wanting to finish third as it helps break down the more stuffy teams in the league.

Newell is in really good form and even with Jeggo next to him and a 10 I think would be a good blend. I see Jeggo getting stick at times but imo it’s not really deserved as he is doing his job, he wasn’t signed as the creative type.

A player like I described playing the ball to Vente, Boyle and Youan would really help take us to the next level imo.

I've always thought he was a decent enough player. Think he'd be an improvement over Jeggo

Everyone says that about Jeggo. It's just Too Much.

I'd try and get some height and athleticism into the midfield. The games trending towards 6ft and over down in the Premier League.

[Iain G]

He'll need to get off to a fast start, I can already hear the boo boys demanding that Lee Johnson Drop the Boy.

Well he owes us nothing, nothing at all...

[Donegal Hibby]

SHOCKED how many bros fans there are on here 😯😂

[Fuzzywuzzy]

Was Craig Logan not a Hibs fan or am I making that up?

[flash]

Surely we are trying to get another midfielder in ASAP.

[brydekirk]

If we have signed a Midfielder what kind of midfielder do we most need for our midfield at the present? . I've had this conversation with a couple of Hibby's over here and we all have picked different types tbh .

Joe Newell's right footed twin.

Yip they are not just footballers they are athletes as well.

Looks like Jota is on the way out from Saudi

Al Ittihad think they might have a chance of getting Mo Salah in

[Edinburgh Green]

New CM signed and straight in the squad for Wednesday. All will be revealed..

So this is a load of Colin Nish then?

I think he was referring to Des Bremner who will be presenting the match ball tomorrow.

Not going down too well with a lot of Aberdeen fans on Twitter. But then again, it's Twitter and no one is every happy with anything on there.
