Summer transfer thread 2023

[tonyrougier123]

Anyone remember the best window in years chat? Been saying for years sign a proven CB problem is we now need a whole defence.

Won’t be done in a day either,so the helter skelter hibees will continue rwgardless who comes in.

[One Day Soon]

What budget have we got after paying off 3 of the management team and potential compensation for the new management team?

No idea and to be honest I don't care. This is absolutely one of those situations of pay now or pay even more later. A clear-sighted and ruthless CE would have binned Johnson last season or early in the summer. A clear-sighted and ruthless CE would be authorising the signings we desperately need in this window, via the Director of Football he was so keen to talk about when things turned 5hit last season, ready for the new manager to capitalise on.

If we had a clear sighted and ruthless CE.

Ross Stewart joining Southampton for £8m + year left on his Sunderland contract. Good business for them after plucking him from Ross County

Sunderland seem to be having a fire sale just now and I think they will miss Stewarts goals and all round attacking play

Also see celtc have turned down £10m from Leeds for Matt O’Reilly **** sake decent player but £10m ?

Kamara has joined Leeds for £5m, decent player but I dont think he is a £5m player - Reports undisclosed but other reports state £5.5 and £6m

Patrick Roberts for £5m as well, I thought was a level above the championship when he was at Celtic but hasn’t seemed to kick on.

[Jones28]

I’m thinking a goalie, a winger and maybe a couple of cover defenders, left and right back.

I’d also like to see us recall macintyre from QOTS. He should have been doing what Megwa is doing in the right hand side and trying to take advantage of the opportunities.

Don't think we can afford to wait. We're bottom on zero points and it's vital we now kick on and qualify for Europe again this season.

Hearts last season and Aberdeen this season getting big bucks from group stage football. Needs to be us next year.

Going against the grain massively but Irvine played against us at ER once and I thought he looked quality. His awareness and passing ability looked very very good to me.

West Ham seems a bit of a jump, but I'd definitely have him at us.

[Unseen work]

A 3 or 4 is ridiculously harsh imo.

Johnson’s failure to set up/manage a team shouldn’t have any bearing on how the window is viewed.

Levitt, Youan and Vente all look very good additions with a huge sum of money for us spent.

Fish brought back on loan was a big plus even though he’s been pretty poor.

Obita looks a really good addition imo and much better than Cabraja.

ALF has already showed his quality and goal scoring prowess.

Harbottle has essentially came in as 4th choice centre back and half looked decent when played in his correct position.

Wollacott and Boruc look good from the little we’ve seen and an improvement on Marshall, despite Marshall still playing.

Do we still need more players in? Absolutely. We were never going to get it all done in the one window, but there’s still time left.

We’ve got a huge amount of players out the door also which is a plus.

I’ll be disappointed as well but I think IG will have said that with the view that we would still have LJ in post. It’s a pretty big and costly change of goalposts.

[One Day Soon]

Is this the part of the window when the quality becomes available or do we need to wait a bit longer for that?

Yes, that'll be it.

It's certainly come as a complete surprise to me that having announced the intention to employ a Director of Football in the immediate aftermath of underperformance against Hearts last season (and in no way as a convenient gigantic fig leaf to hide under) we now seem to be in pretty much exactly the same position as we have been in toward the end of most transfer windows in recent times. That is to say, without having brought in first team starters ready to go straight into the range of positions in which we have been either threadbare or lacking cover for not months but years.

Our midfield, defence and keeper all need a pretty comprehensive refit so it's probably best to wait until the famously easier and better January window to do that.

Certainly the last thing you want to do is get these players in before the start of the season. That will only encourage them to find their feet earlier, fit into the team shape and style of play and give you confidence they are fit for the season. That would be crazy talk.

[Torto7]

We've also spent plenty. A loan might be possible but I wouldn't blame the club if they want to hold some money back for the new manager.

[Unseen work]

There's almost literally no point in paying the salary of a Director of Football if it doesn't leave us in the position of being to cope with exactly times like these in order to progress signings.

The issue is not the volume of players we brought in or have on our books, it is the quality and the positions. We have been missing a serious midfield for years - literally years. Our defence is a mixture of ageing and inexperienced, we desperately need a left back in particular. Too many of our starting 11 shouldn't be first 11.

If we don't strengthen that midfield today the new manager is going to be put in the same position as Jack, Maloney and Johnson which is to say that by the time next summer's window opens he will be doing well to have not already lost significant sections of the support and quite possibly the club will ultimately end up paying off yet another manager. I wonder how good of a midfielder we could have bought with the money collectively used to get rid of those managers?

Hibs search for a goalkeeper as competition for David Marshall targeted

⬇️⬇️⬇️

bitly.ws/TGUz

I don't know why this has come up all of a sudden; Wollacot has been injured for a while now. We've known Marshall is finished for months. We still need reinforcements in defence, midfield, and out wide.

It's shambolic, and an expensively assembled shambles.

[HoboHarry]

He was on £1k per week at Reading, and they don't want to retain him. That's an indication of how good he is now.
Seriously? That doesn't pass the sniff test, there's something afoot with that deal if true.

[One Day Soon]

Jeezo mate, take a deep breath and chill.

Nope. Seen this picture too many times before. Lots of over stated chat and then Harry McKirdy right on or just after the deadline.

I have next to zero faith that those running the club know what they are doing. I don't trust our CE and I don't think the Board have any real authority either. So while moving Johnson on was good news, it will make little to no difference if we then either get the managerial appointment wrong (again) or fail to sign players we desperately need - or worse still, both. When the dust settles after midnight tonight we will still be bottom of the league having lost the three opening games and potentially with exactly the same squad.

[Jim44]

Our priority has to be shoring up our bombscare defence. It’s all very well getting a promising forward on loan from down south but that’s not what we really need.

[04Sauzee]

Yeah, great. We need a ****ing midfield. Plus, honestly, talk is cheap. Shut up about targets and produce signings please.

It's not in my remit mate

[Hibbyradge]

It’s just that nobody could ever believe it’s someone’s lifetime dream to visit Fleetwood.

Fleetwood is only about 25 minutes from Blackpool so I could believe that. :agree:

[One Day Soon]

Go for a lie down. I promise you won't miss any signings.

Maybe the job title is Director of a Football. Could explain a lot.

I honestly have no idea how many times I've read this. We need a midfield that will protect the defence more than anything else.

I know, it was meant as a commentary on whoever is suggesting to the Record that we need a keeper.

My guess would be the idiot manager that just lost his job didn’t think we needed one previously.

Well the cynic in me thinks someone at the club keeps a close eye on the likes of .net and social media, sees e.g. what fans are saying in reaction to errors from Marshall last night and then punts a line on to the Record to keep the peasants happy. But that's just the cynic in me...

Ross Laidlaw bring him back in. A keeper who knows the club and imo has improved since being an understudy to Marciano. Be able to handle the pressure now as he’s warding off threats from goal a lot up at the staggies.

[JimBHibees]

Any news on Wollacott injury?

[Caversham Green]

Seriously? That doesn't pass the sniff test, there's something afoot with that deal if true.

Reading were under a strict financial plan under FFP - they had a transfer embargo and £1k pw was the maximum they could pay when he signed for them. Carroll had no prospects because of injuries and age catching up with him but wanted to get back playing. He did alright but no more than that. I doubt if he'll play at any serious level again.

U need to chill mate ur gonna blow something

Liverpool knocked back a 150m bid for a 31 year old Salah. Marvelous player that he is, the money is just limitless apparently.

[One Day Soon]

U need to chill mate ur gonna blow something

I'm not, but I know a Chief Executive who appears to have that skill set.

[brog]

A 3 or 4 is ridiculously harsh imo.

Johnson’s failure to set up/manage a team shouldn’t have any bearing on how the window is viewed.

Levitt, Youan and Vente all look very good additions with a huge sum of money for us spent.

Fish brought back on loan was a big plus even though he’s been pretty poor.

Obita looks a really good addition imo and much better than Cabraja.

ALF has already showed his quality and goal scoring prowess.

Harbottle has essentially came in as 4th choice centre back and half looked decent when played in his correct position.

Wollacott and Boruc look good from the little we’ve seen and an improvement on Marshall, despite Marshall still playing.

Do we still need more players in? Absolutely. We were never going to get it all done in the one window, but there’s still time left.

We’ve got a huge amount of players out the door also which is a plus.

Good balanced summary!

This is all well and good until you consider what needed (needs) to be done.

There’s some admittedly good business in there and some individual flashes of ambition.

But the bar is high, partly due to historical recruitment omnishambles, partly due to expected departures of good players (Nisbet) and partly to do with numerous opportunistic departures.

Rather than give a window a mark out of ten, is it not more appropriate to consider our ambitions for the season and give an expectation out of 10 that the current, winless in 3 league games, squad will meet our expectations?

If we do that, the 3 or 4 looks generous. Our current squad is never in a million years a top 6 squad. It may be bolstered in January to get closer, but before this season is out I don’t mind betting we’ll be hounding out yet another manager whose failure will be down to the mistakes of others.

[Lancs Harp]

Insane. Take the money. That league is never going to become a real thing.

Knock it back they have just upped the bid by £50 million in the blink of an eye. Push them to £250 million.

Its mad isnt it? I like watching football at the top table, footballers and teams at the top of the game but Im glad I support Hibs, a team in the real world

[badabing67]

[One Day Soon]

What does he do?

Well for one thing as CE he will play the central role in decision making on what we will and won't spend.

If his view is 'Oh dear, sacking Lee cost a bit. Let's knock signings on the head until January lads, unless you can get them in for 10 Green Shield stamps, a couple of Bubblies and - if the negotiations are really sticky - a crate of Hendry's Cola' then we aren't going to be signing anyone of significance.

[Percy Vere]

On a slightly different point, what's happened with all the Doig transfer talk?
Torino, Fulham among other admirers?
Would have come in handy for the transfer chest.

[Unseen work]

Whilst a goalie for competition with/ to replace Marshall is necessary and it also allows Johnson to go back out on loan.

I can’t help but feel for Boruc, done well when he’s been called upon, no mistakes and some really good saves. Now he’ll be down to 3rd/4th choice when Wollacott is fit.

Re Wollacott, what is the latest with him? Not heard much for quite a while now

[GloryGlory]

Would be surprised if he wasn't, whole lot closer to home for him

That'll be his main motivation right enough, not the £1.5 million a week pay packet. :cool2:

Sure there were rumours he's out for a while, more long term. Looks to be true given we are after another keeper

It's going to be a long season if the window closes and we haven't made any further additions.

It's almost like someone at the club has a bet on how long they can keep our midfield of Newell, JDH and Campbell going.

[badabing67]

Genuinely think we are in a bad way atm. The only saving grace is. I don't think Hearts or Aberdeen are in that great a shape either, remains to be seen. But so far this season I think they have been as poor as us.

Both squads are definitely better than ours, no doubt in my mind about that. Particularly Aberdeen's. Both have depth as well, something we really lack.

Think they both have rank managers though, which is lucky.

I mean I'm not a huge fan but I think that's a little bit harsh.

On a side note my, admittedly poor, memory tells me that when Jim Leighton came to us he started alright, then became terrible, but then re-emerged really well once his confidence was back. I honestly think the right manager might get an Indian Summer out of Marshall. But then I also think that if someone at ER would take their head out of their arse and sign the midfielders that we blindingly obviously desperately need then the defence and the keeper would be much, much better protected in the first place anyway.

If we don't actually fix our problems by the end of today, what's the point in having a DOF? Even if it's loans we cannot just ignore these gaping holes and expect a new manager to work wonders, hanging a new manager out to dry before he's even in the door.

[Silky]

WTF? Why are we paying a wage for a Director of Football in that case?

Maybe he can't get players without a manager in place. He's a DOF, he can't guarantee a potential signing first team football, for example. What if a new signing wants a payment based on appearances? A manager might come in and not fancy him.

I'm fine with it.

With Levitt injured and JDH unable to stay fit I thought we'd try to get a midfielder in. I think Campbell is struggling also. We are only a Newell injury away from being in trouble. Unless the likes of Malotnokov etc can step up.

Really hope we don't sign anyone.

Been a real shambles over the last couple of years. With no team manager in the building how can there be any justification in the people at East Mains signing players.

I really feel the people we have in charge of things (Kensall, Ian Gordon, McDermott) are not up to the task.
