Youan Rumour?

[Chorley Hibee]

Heard a rumour from someone at Fir Park today that Youan is about to be sold to Verona?

Surely not?

Given what I've just watched, a team without his threat just gives me the fear.

[Scottie]

Get him gone another imposter who only turns up when he can be bothered.

If it's good money, absolutely.

**** all point in marquee signings if they don't fit in with our style of play and what we need is numbers to help give us more depth.

The individual quality of players has improved but we're still not addressing our main issue - a paper thin squad and a poor defence.

This the same Verona that are in the **** financially and still owe us a million + for Doig?

I wouldn't disappointed in the slightest if this is true, he's played the first two games this season as if he's leaving, woeful !

It's certainly very odd that Youan was not in the squad today or mentioned by the manager in his pre-match interview.

We dont have a style of play, we just randomly play well sometimes and the manager has no idea why

Should be looking for a small fortune for him.

They still owe us cash for Doig I’m sure

[Scottie]

Sorry mate thats just the way I feel. Turns up when he can be arsed. For a marquee signing he deflates me.

To be fair if we got offered 2m plus I'd be biting there hand off.

Was he out warming up?

Hes on the Hibs insta stories walking into the changing rooms with everyone else. Looks glum but he's a bit like that sometimes

Would be very surprised if that was true

[Is It On....]

That's a spot on critique of the manager. I think that the reason he has streaky runs in resilts is that he doesn't seem to know why things are working or not working. Therefore, when it's not working, he doesn't know how to change it.

[raeburnhibs]

We should be building a squad not taking out the bits of quality we have

I might be on my own here then and disagree with pretty much every post. Be gutted if he is away, great talent with genuine pace. Hit and miss still absolutely but he was finding consistency end of last season. A poor game v St Mirren along with a host of others and a quiet half against Luzern and folk that delighted we signed him perm now not bothered if he goes. Each to their own.

[Chorley Hibee]

It's a rumour they're skint, nothing else, and Doig has started the season with Verona in the starting line-up.

I'd find it ridiculous from Hibs to sell him (unless the fee was ridiculous), but nothing surprises me with the incompetents running the show at ER currently.

I'm with you. He is still very raw but I enjoy watching him.

After today the last thing we need to do is move on players that can trouble the opposition.

[supermcginn]

Cracking player, would be at the very bottom of my list to leave.

Opinions are like ********s, everyone's got one. But that's a wild shout

A highly frustrating player that needs to lift his head more, but only of the only players with a X factor that we have. We'll not get far with 11 Jeggos or Stevensons on the park

[Nicho87]

Give them Henderson and Tavares instead

Cut price deals and they can have a car salesman too.

There was a wee rumour a week or so ago re this, I dismissed it seeing as we've just signed him but if the money it too good to refuse then maybe it may be a goer.

[Malonga's Cat]

We'd be a lesser team without Youan. The type of player who can do brilliant stuff. Yes, he's inconsistent. That's part of the package - if he was outstanding all the time, he wouldn't be at Hibs.

[Pagan Hibernia]

you do realise he’s playing off the back of a serious injury - he’s not about to walk on water!

[Pretty Boy]

I've heard a few mutterings about him potentially going this summer but I still don't believe it.

I suppose a business may view a £500K outlay turned around for say £2M in the space of a couple of months as smart from a financial perspective but it doesn't seem to fit. We obviously wanted the player and he wanted to sign so not that much can have changed in the space of 8 weeks or whatever it is.

I can only assume he had agreed to sign prior to the end of last season when he was on fire, he's not went back on the move but another club has taken notice and want to pay a decent chunk for him.

I think being able to sign someone for £500k, pay them 2 months wages and sell them for £2m+ is pretty good business tbh.

I don’t want to see him go but that would be hugely tempting for us imo.

[Broken Gnome]

The way he said that did feel quite deliberate - suggests injury and resting weren't the sole reasons for players missing out today.

Yet the player himself said he was fine and chomping at the bit to play. I am aware he is on the way back from injury. But he said himself he's fine and ready. It's fine though, some players get away with more than others. It's always been that way.

Is that a guess or something more substantial?

[Unseen work]

Wait people want/wouldn’t mind Youan leaving?!

Did they watch the game today?

He’s one of few threatening players we have and one that opposition wouldn’t like playing against, one that actually makes the opposition defenders defend

2 million?! Double it

Players will always say that, they just want to play and some will happily play through injury and injections.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Youan has plenty to offer and I wouldn't want us to sell him.

But if there was a serious offer it could be in the club's mind that Obita could do a job on the left, especially considering LJ at least clearly doesn't see him as competition for Stevenson, in which case why did we buy him at all instead of a proper left back. If we could get circa 2 million for Youan and it was now, there's still enough of the window left to get a good left back and a beast to toughen up our midfield, not to mention possibly a seasoned but still youngish centre half.

The only thing is, why the hell would Hibs sell a player to a club that still owes us a million quid? .... if the deal was 2 million plus the million they still owe us for Doig paid up front before Youan is allowed to sign then fine. That aside, no way could I see Hibs being daft enough to have anything to do with them.

[JammyDoidger]

If he does go I'd go take Armstrong from Killie. Would prefer Youan to stay but can't turn down decent money.

[bingo70]

I agree with you to an extent but I’ll never be bothered about a player leaving Hibs, it’s just what happens, no point fretting over it.

Youann not playing today showed why we need someone like Youann playing for this team but if he leaves so be it.

[Heisenberg]

He’s extremely frustrating at times but he’s got the potential to be the difference for us in games like today.

[Hibee Mac]

2 million?! Double itI'm absolutely with you mate, would be madness to sell him for £2m. In fact it would be madness to sell him at all unless it's was silly money he's one of our best players.

Youan is a great entertainer, sometimes frustrating but often brilliant. I'd hate to see him go, he can bring a spark to both the crowd and the team and is one of the very few who is worth watching

[Since452]

Have Verona paid us for Doig yet? Do they not have money issues? Sounds like nonsense to me.

[JohnM1875]

Youan is easily one of our best players! Not even debatable in my opinion. Be mental if we let him go for anything under £4-5 mil. Especially when we paid around £500k for him and you'd guess St Gallen have a sell on clause.

I'll be fuming if he leaves.

Johnson has said Youan has a sore back.

Totally agree, he is frustrating at times but also has the X factor. Selling a player we paid £500k for a couple of weeks into his new contract for £2m is absolutely mental and unthinkable. £4-5m would be different but I would much prefer to keep him.

[Musselbound]

Totally agree. Still got an assist against St Mirren and played the whole game so surely not the worst. I was surprised he was subbed against Luzern. Tactically that worked out but I wonder if there was more to it? Hibs have struggled first half in most games this season, and without Youan today, so I don't understand why he's being singled out.

[I'm Spartacus]

A Hibs team without Youan is a bottom 6 relegation dog fight team.

I was so hopeful for today, but my goodness that was a terrible display.

I’d hate having to defend against Youan, he’s so unpredictable and on his day can do just about anything. If he was consistent he’d be at a much higher level than the SPFL never mind Hibs.

We’ve got a huge game on Thursday, that can’t be the best preparation for someone out injured with a sore back.

[Bridge hibs]

Johnson has said Youan has a sore back.Aye due to running about Edinburgh zoo carrying that hippo on his back. LJ needs to get to grips with these training drills

[BSEJVT]

Tbh if I had any faith in the recruitment or management at Hibs there isn't anyone I wouldn't presently sell to help finance the total rebuild we need.

But as the majority of players we sign are worse than those we already have and seem to have no idea on formation or tactics, I would keep the odd flair player we have like Youan in the hope he can bamboozle someone and fluke us a win now and then.

Would love to see a scoreline that started opposition Nil even if it ended Hibernian Nil too.

The total inability to keep clean sheets will always see us vulnerable.

Despite the odd more than decent win that squad is totally unbalanced and far too reliant on players who are frankly past their best, it is a good job St Johnstone look a total basket case.

[Paul1642]

No more selling our best players with long contracts unless the offer is ridiculously higher than their value.

Too long we have sold to raise funds for the future and never seen the benefit on the park.

[jodjam]

Was told from a reliable source he handed in a transfer request 24 hours after signing contract

Thought this was very weird but it’s seemingly not uncommon. Call it posturing from an agent. Call it a desire to find a value the club has on his plsyer.

I'd call it a load of bollocks and another example of a Hibs fan with an imaginary source just stirring the hornets nest after an admittedly awful defeat.

Not too far off the mark from what I was told. He was unhappy that Hibs announced they had triggered the agreement to buy without telling him first. No idea about handing a transfer request in or actually being unhappy to stay but was certainly annoyed how it was communicated

The transfer request I don’t know anything about, but jodjam is one of a handful of posters on this site I know personally. He doesn’t make things up and he doesn’t post to get a reaction. If people want to believe Youan was delighted to sign permanently then so be it…….

[The Spaceman]

Go and have a look at his Instagram from the time he signed on a permanent. Not a chance in hell he handed in a transfer request. People are just stirring for the sake of it/likely some undercover Jambos at work.

So he cant have a sore back and leave ? Strange take on things, a sore back, sore ankle, sore baws dont make the slightest difference in the grand scheme of things, if we have been offered a substantial wedge and its being considered then what LJ says is neither here nor there

I thought he was doing his job well, helped contain them, we were solid and kept a clean sheet to then drop the second half game plan. Lee loves a HT sub or 2, I've never known us to do it so often.

I like the guy and was happy we got him on a permanent basis but thought Thursday was one of his poorest games, certainly wasn't a blinder for me.

[Silky]

Maybe I picked it up wrong on the communication part but Hibs apparently triggered the agreement without telling him they were going to

Where's his agent in all of this? He must have known it was happening and would be obliged to make his client aware? Whether from Hibs or St Gallen, someone would have told someone, surely?

[Hannah_hfc]

Youan was posting teasers of him turning up at the West Stand (presumably to sign) ahead of it being announced a week later. It doesn’t seem like the behaviour of someone who wasn’t happy about signing or about to hand in a transfer request.

Ellie has been poor since he signed, probably only the home game against the Andorrans being a decent one.

It does sound like that and that was my initial reaction.

However, having thought about it, I've come to the conclusion that something must have happened before the game yesterday.

Why would Youan travel with the team to the stadium if he was unfit? Plus, if he injured himself in the changing room then "sore back" wouldn't have been given as the explanation for his absence.

I'm hoping he's not turned into our own version of Winfried Gnonto.

[The Captain....]

This place makes me laugh, some want rid of a guy who was in the top 3 of assists last season in the spl and a player who gets fans off there seats. Yes he's frustrating but he's young and raw and thats why he's a hibs player. KeepYou've got to remember most of them probably don't even go to the games.

I don't want Youan to leave but equally I've no doubt he'd be off at the drop of a hat at the sniff of a few extra euros/£££s. Tbh if Johnson was my manager I'd be looking for a way out .

Why cant he have a sore back ? He could have overstretched, bent down to tie a lace and felt a twinge, maybe even muscular. I think folk are looking into this a bit much to be honest and coming up with the usual 2+2 = somethings happening

Think it is more likely he came off Thursday at half time with a knock. Don't think it was just tactical. He took a heavy challenge just before half time if I am remembering right.
As for transfer requests. Probably not much in it. Hasn't come over as unhappy, his socials, lying down version sleep celebration, whipping the crowd up etc - seems to be playing with a smile on his face.
We had option to buy - maybe the agent aware there would be more money elsewhere and letting club know whilst we have him on that original deal know his worth. Just agent gamesmanship for his man (and himself) if his performances kept going and bigger players came to the table

Are you joking?

He's absolutely NOT joking. Doig was quite weak defensively while at Hibs. He may have improved since his move, but theres no doubt whatsoever that Stevenson was a more solid option in defence. As well as being young and athletic, Doig was exciting going forward and that's what earned him his move.

You’d think we train leading up to the game with a specific plan/formation in mind.

He said that Doig wouldn’t be an improvement on Stevenson and told another poster to give their head a wobble for suggesting it.

Stevenson is 35yo and has cost us 3 goals already this season. Doig is a hungry 21yo currently playing in Serie A that’s been linked with Premier League clubs this summer. Add to that he’d be an ideal defender to link up with the midfield especially Youan, which Stevenson seems incapable of doing.

[KeithWright9]

Heard a rumour from someone at Fir Park today that Youan is about to be sold to Verona?

Surely not?

Given what I've just watched, a team without his threat just gives me the fear.

Wasn't told a club but I was told by a very good source he would be sold this summer.

[MrRobot]

Wasn't told a club but I was told by a very good source he would be sold this summer.

I can’t see Hibs making a big deal out of him signing and giving him the number 7 shirt just to sell him a month or 2 later. Doesn’t make much sense to me.

Apart from the very upper echelon, every club is a selling one and all players have their price. We signed Youan for say £500k. If someone comes in and offers us £3.5m it would be tough to turn down. Especially if the player is being offered a massive pay increase.

I have zero inside info, I just wouldn't be totally shocked if he went this summer.

Add to that he’d be an ideal defender to link up with the midfield especially Youan, which Stevenson seems incapable of doing.Don't move the goalposts please - the point being made was that Doig would not be an improvement on Stevenson DEFENSIVELY. At the time Doig left Hibs this was obvious to a blind man. Fair enough Doig is young with loads of potential to improve defensively, and Stevenson is approaching the end of his playing career and may be slowing up a bit. But the fact remains that Doig's main selling point was his pace and dynamism going FORWARD - he made errors in defence quite frequently - while Stevenson's strengths are in his focus, discipline and experience.

[Paulie Walnuts]

If they are getting a huge offer just months after signing, why not hold out until January and try for a bigger offer after he’s been able to showcase his talent some more? Unless he turns utter **** for us :greengrin

I think that’s where the temptation will be to sell, and it would be the same for any player at any club.

Every signings a gamble. If you can sign one for £500k or so and sell them for £2m-£3m months later meaning you don’t have to run the risk of them getting injured/losing form then I can easily see why that would potentially be a very attractive proposition for any club.

If you think about it in basic investment terms, if you buy shares and they go up 400% in 2 months, you’d likely sell, especially if you knew that your investment probably has a ceiling of 600% or so but could also easily drop to 200% or even 0% eventually.

I don’t disagree, what you’ve said absolutely does happen but at times it feels like it’s taken to the opposite extreme where a rumour posted, I’ve no doubt in good faith, then becomes another example of people having a go at the club. The OP didn’t suggest it was BS that Youan missed Sunday’s game through injury all he said was he’d heard a rumour at the game that the player was being sold to an Italian club. Some people chose to interpret that as the club lying about the player being an injured.

As I’ve said it’s not the sharing of a rumour that’s the issue it’s the jump on to hammer the club if this rumour (amongst many more) is true, there’s a lot of fans who seem to sit in wait for the slightest excuse to moan and whinge at the club, as has been said youan has been bought to be sold at some point, any player at the club would be sold if a club was offering figures of around 3m but this is a lack of ambition and the club are just a trading vehicle, it’s also been claimed recently the Gordon’s are asset stripping can you believe after all the investment the last couple years. It’s these people who’s claim to ‘support’ the club I’m questioning just by the definition of the term, im not telling you or anyone else there not true fans, I’m calling out people who are more willing to jump on and cause a drama and a stir than actually get behind the team.

We used to laud maverick wingers as the hibs way. now a chunk of the support is tearing down one of the only bits of joy in the squad. Totally ridiculous. Give me a player that scores and then gives away a goal any day over a player who sits in, contributes nothing and lets in nothing.

We really missed Youan tonight can’t believe he went to Verona

[jacomo]

There's no doubting youans ability when he is on he's on if he could put it together he wouldn't be here


He’s going to put it together while he’s here and then earn us a record transfer fee.

Let’s enjoy him in a Hibs shirt for now, and hope that day is some way off.

Honestly think he's our best player and is going to have a massive season for us. Annoying decision making at times, but always a goal threat and pops up with a goal and assist away from home in Europe. Going to make us serious money next summer.

Very inconsistent but at his best he is Premier League standard. Hope there are no bids for him before the window closes.

Scottish Premier League. He’d be lucky to make the bench for an English Premier League team.

His goal tonight was an absolute cracker and his assist augers well for him Boyle linking up. Needs to develop consistency obviously but that goes for the whole team.

100%. Can be frustrating, but all good wingers can. Contributes far, far more to Hibs than his detractors ever will.

[keep the faith]

Get him gone another imposter who only turns up when he can be bothered.

Okaaaay....

Okaaaay....

I'm just glad he could be bothered today. Just the 1 goal and 1 assist tonight though.

Needs to up his game.......

If people don’t see the quality and potential Youan has then football is not the sport for them.
A LOT better than Boyle was at that age.
An Elie Youan that performed to the absolute best of his ability every game would not be at Hibs. If he continues to improve then we’ll have a hell of a player on our hands and will end up making us good money.
A joy to watch when he gets it right.

Agree was basically the reason we got through. Excellent goal and assist. Boyles movement for goal was excellent too.

[BILLYHIBS]

Must have loved that goal being an ex St Gallen man

Kicking myself I didn’t have him down to score

The guy is a total enigma and if he keeps performing with a goal and an assist more often than not he will earn us a tidy sum

Love the guy

[MrRobot]

i was calling for him to be subbed before his assist :greengrin

Agreed, proper bums on seat player.

Boyle's goal, won a header he shouldn't have won, kept the ball in, and ripped the boy before getting his head up and picking the pass

Frustrating at times, of course he is, but that is why he is with us. If he cuts the frustrating stuff out and develops then we have a serious player here
