Winter transfer thread 2023/24

Yip didnae want to get injured did not turn up versus Hearts or Aberdeen
Seems to remember he scored a pretty good goal and from that moment he was the best thing since sliced bread according to some on here, never saw it myself.

Was a cracker tbf Killie away

Looked good initially then didnae want to be here wanted back to Sevco or down south

[Not In The Know]

Docherty with Newell and Levitt sounds a half decent midfield all of a sudden.
Pity we will never see that 🤣

Docherty totally Shat the bed against Hearts - I wouldn't be bothered if we weren't interested.

[Hibees1973]

Hope the recruitment guys get at least a new centre half and midfielder for Montgomery in this window.

Montgomery was getting a bit of stick towards the end of last year, but I like him. He has been here long enough now and will have made his mind up about who he wants to keep and who should go.

The onus is now on the board and McDermott to finance and overhaul the squad.

Will take at least a couple of transfer windows to sort out some of the mess Montgomery inherited.

[Unseen work]

Docherty was no more than OK during his brief loan spell, he couldn't wait to get away.

What about him gave that impression?

Just because he never signed longer? He got to try himself down south and done really well for hull, probably offering more money too especially due to covid.

[bingo70]

Monty’s never played with a 10, played 442 since he’s got here and said he’s not going to change.

Can’t understand why he’d want him.

This may take us back to a debate last week as to what the definition of a 10 is. My definition of a 10, Monty plays literally every week.

A forward that plays off the front man and drops a bit deeper, ideally to link midfield and attack. Vente has been doing that without much joy in recent weeks but prior to that Alf and Doidge have also dropped deeper.

I think other people see a number 10 as an attacking midfielder but I disagree with that. Going back to the period before squad numbers, 9 and 10 were the two forwards, the 9 was the great goal scorer, the 10 was the scorer of great goals and more of a creator. Why people think a 10 now is a midfielder is beyond me.

I’m with you. We play with a 10, and a 10 is a forward.

Montys version of a 10 is rank rotten then, as it's the most defensive 10 I've ever seen.

I’m no saying that we’ve been easy on the eye, or good or anything like that. But considering how defensive some people have him down as being, it’s amazing that we’re the third top scorers in the league.

[Nicho87]

Docherty totally Shat the bed against Hearts - I wouldn't be bothered if we weren't interested.

So what about the whole squad here now, who have solid consistency in keeking their breeks against hearts, do we get rid of Boyle, fish etc too.

Docherty played one derby? The whole team was minging that night.

Not a valid enough reason for not signing a player.

Won’t be happening anyway. But still your talking out your rear.

[DC_Hibs]

Docherty totally Shat the bed against Hearts - I wouldn't be bothered if we weren't interested.

You’re one of many who read that nonsense somewhere online and swallowed it as gospel!!

He was poor that day, like many. Nothing more to it.

For the record, I didn’t think he was up to much before that. Plenty energy but not the best on the ball and doesn’t chip in with goals either.

He’s playing for Hull right now so maybe the Docherty chat will die down in a couple of weeks zzzz
of weeks.

Hope so there are better I'm sure.

[jacomo]

How about David Brooks?

Attacking / right sided midfielder, decent EPL record but fallen down the pecking order at Bournemouth and needs game time. A loan might suit all parties.

I have no info on this, but surely our supposed new billionaire sugar daddies will throw us a bone?

[Spike Mandela]

And so the never ending transfer saga goes on :greengrin

Is Stuart Baxter his agent?

I’m amazed you think we can sign players better than those starting for clubs in the English Championship. We are so far away from that, never mind “better”.

Would be a tremendous loan, however Leeds and Southampton are looking at him.

[Ronniekirk]

Ross County Manager on tv tonight stating they will have signed four player by end of week and hope to sign another two next week
So be interesting to see if improves them ,or not But he is clearly being backed to try and get them up the table

Sassuolo offered €6m euro for him Verona didn’t meet Marseilles time limit because of It, Sassuolo now in for Pisa left back beruatto we’re on to plooms here he’ll stay at Verona now

He had a goal contribution per game when he was here. His output was nothing short of exceptional.

I’m with you. We play with a 10, and a 10 is a forward.

So effectively it's 4231 then

[Jim44]

Doig to Leeds


And so the never ending transfer saga goes on :greengrin

The crucial point is not actually how much we stand to get from a possible Doig’s sale, if it happens, but, more importantly, how our board choose to spend the money, given their recent unimpressive record.

[Winston Ingram]

https://x.com/fabrizioromano/status/...u62WUfbidLejfg

This probably kills off the Doig sale.

Verona were desperate for cash and they’ve just scooped €18m+ by shipping Cyril Ngonge to Napoli.

[Stevie Reid]

I’m no saying that we’ve been easy on the eye, or good or anything like that. But considering how defensive some people have him down as being, it’s amazing that we’re the third top scorers in the league.

We scored seven in four league games before NM arrived, so it’s 19 goals in 16 since he came in. We are not a free scoring team.

Am sure 18m will help but was it not the case that they are in serious financial issues so 18m may not be enough plus presumably they will need to sign a replacement.

[greenginger]

We scored seven in four league games before NM arrived, so it’s 19 goals in 16 since he came in. We are not a free scoring team.

We’re still 3rd highest scorers in the SPL.

[B.H.F.C]

We scored seven in four league games before NM arrived, so it’s 19 goals in 16 since he came in. We are not a free scoring team.

We’re not, but I don’t think anyone outside the obvious two is really out scoring us. Even if you just look at Montgomery’s 16 league games there are 5 separate occasions that we’ve scored 2 goals but failed to win the game. Our biggest problems are still at the other end of the park, although I absolutely think we need to sign someone to play with Vente.

Don’t get me wrong, I’d do things a bit differently, it’s just some of the comments I read would make you think we never crossed the halfway line if you didn’t know any better.

[Stevie Reid]

We’re still 3rd highest scorers in the SPL.

Yes we are, I didn’t dispute that. It’s of zero comfort when you’re sixth in the league though, and our scoring output is dropping. We have 11 goals from our last ten games, so hard to see us being third top scorers come May unless there’s a very dramatic improvement.

Yeah it’s a far from free scoring league this year. Motherwell in 9th are fourth highest scorers.

We definitely need to tighten up at the back, but much more going forward is also required. I make it 11 goals in ten games going back to that Aberdeen semi final.

My early impression of NM was that he’d be able to get the most out of our attacking threats, so it’s been a really disappointing couple of months.

This is fair comment.

NM does seem very stuck on his formation, but with a tweak it could become more like Mowbray’s 4-5-1. That team gave away soft goals at times but scored aplenty.

[JimBHibees]

Hope so there are better I'm sure.

He would be a great signing for Hibs

[BILLYHIBS]

He had a goal contribution per game when he was here. His output was nothing short of exceptional.

Apart from Hearts 1-3 where he s#at it and Aberdeen 1-3 where he never turned up and never played for Hibs again and it was only March

The minimum we ask for is 100% effort it is not too much to ask ?

Didn’t want to be here

Nonsense?!? I was at all his games. He was very decent in low pressure games for us. Complete opposite in big games. That’s prob the reason he got binned by the **** too.

Ah yes, I forgot he engineered the covid pandemic so that he didn’t have to play for us post March.

If he managed to average a goal contribution a game without trying then he must be a quite incredible player.

I haven't watched him enough recently to comment on just how good a signing he'd be. However the league he is playing in is streets ahead of our tinpot one.

According to this £650,000 cash coming our way soon via UEFA solidarity payments. Maybe already budgeted for but maybe also a wee boost to the transfer kitty.

Good thing was Hearts got themselves relegated in Paisley

Anyway still ragin about his performance against Hearts and his performance versus Aberdeen wasn’t much better

Couldn’t wait to get back to Sevco or make decent wedge down South no point getting himself injured busting a gut for us was there ?

Sorry it’s a no from me

[Smartie]

I didn't think there were any issues with Doherty's commitment or attitude.

He didn't exactly play with a smile on his face and he had a stinker against Hearts but even if all the criticisms on here are fair, the cold hard fact is that he improved a midfield that had been dire during the first half of that season quite substantially during his short time with us.

[chippy]

Doherty is the only midfielder who I thought bested John McGinn when he was at Hibs and when Doherty played for Hamilton. Just one game but very impressive.

If having a stinker against Hearts was hanging offence we could fill the grand canyon with bodies unfortunately

[Centre Hawf]

Personally don't see it happening as he'll no doubt have suitors at the bottom end of the Championship or top of League 1 which will probably offers more money than we can.

But he's the type of player I'd happily break the bank to get in, he's a proper action midfielder who can get involved at both ends of the park. Not suggesting he's John McGinn reincarnated by any stretch but he's probably the closest we've had to that type of player since JM left. Seen him a few times on the TV since he left for Hull and think he's filled out physically more as well.

As I say I doubt he'll be in a Hibs jersey again personally and think he would be more likely to end up back at the **** as a cheap homegrown option to replace Ryan Jack etc if he did come to Scotland.

[Shrekko]

If having a stinker against Hearts was hanging offence we could fill the grand canyon with bodies unfortunately

And I'm absolutely flabbergasted regarding some of the insinuations that his attitude wasn't great. His commitment, drive and enthusiasm were absolutely fantastic- what on earth do people think they remember here?

The whole team were dreadful v Hearts that night.

The guy is about as professional as they come. Works his arse off on the pitch, is one of the fittest players you’ll come across and is almost never injured. Never involved in any controversy and is extremely talented.

It’s a bizarre take imo. He was terrible against Hearts that night, I’d suggest the fact he’s held accountable for it is because he has shown how good he was in the games previous but that seems to have been forgotten about.

If I was Brian McDermott I’d be offering him a 4 year deal as our top earner.

The main criticism for that Hearts performance should go to Jack Ross. Hearts played a very high press under Stendel, the rest of the league had worked out fairly easily how to beat it but Jack Ross had us trying to play through it with catastrophic results.

[Ronniekirk]

m going to give Monty credit and assume he is sticking to his view he needs three or four players who can come straight into first team to improve us
So far he hasn’t seen anyone within our budget that can do thst

He did start both FA Cup matches versus Birmingham so hopefully he can kick on

Omeonga was even worse that night and there are shouts to bring him back almost every transfer window (not this one, yet). I think Doherty was alright. Nothing more nothing less. If we signed him i'd be reasonably happy but wouldn't lose any sleep at all if we didn't.

[Gordy M]

As with the Yan Danda rumour, is there actually any reports etc that Docherty is being linked with us? Or is it the usual, someone makes up a rumour and folk spend days debating something thats not going happen?

Someone got a text saying he had been at EM then that text was questioned about whether that was from twitter.

Doch started for Hull hours later.

So I reckon it’s a load of pish.

I also reckon the attitude being in question is because it was rumoured he never wanted to be here in the first place.

He had an absolute stinker against Hearts. The whole team did. It was actually a vile performance all things considered.

I’d take him back though. He’s a quality player at our level.

I think if he wasn't injured he'd probably have been one of the names on the list to leave this window as well. I had hopes for the guy when he joined and was even impressed by him when he first showed up. But the guy has struggled to make any sort of mark at Hibs now for coming up two years.

I also think in a 2 man midfield he would offer us nothing better than rest of them currently are.

[badabing67]

TBF he has had a piece of bone that was floating around in his ankle removed. So hopefully he can kick on.

He's ok but never fit. Taken over from Magennis.

[Rumble de Thump]

Doesn’t sound promising.

They can go out on loan when our international players have returned.

[Centre Hawf]

Interview with Monty I read this morning said there would be a halt on any outgoing loans until later in the window.

I think this is sensible so we don't leave ourselves too short, but it also needs to be remembered when some are demanding we have 4 or 5 in the door by now. Most clubs will be in a similar position to us, especially if the player is of any use whatsoever to their first team.

I imagine most of the players you see having moved by this point are either youngsters who are not part of any first team plans and needing loans (like who we trialled from Leeds), or guys who are downright not wanted for various reasons (not usually a good indication).

Having a look across the league so far after 17 days other than Celtic's winger and Rangers signing Fabio Silva I don't think anyone has signed a player I'd have been overly excited or happy to get. I think the last week of the window will be where we see any action happen as the wheels start turning at the top of the football pyramid and patience is required.

[jakeshibs]

Yeah thank ****. JDH will make it all better when he’s back from injury.

Or maybe jeggo will learn to pass to a teammate?

We are so gifted with great midfielders at the moment, like you said, thank ****.

I know Rangers were in the race for him initially, but I think he would be a good addition for either of them with the homegrown quota etc. But would they pay the £5m/£6m that Verona were asking for him? Not so sure their fans would go for it.

It does appear from the outside looking in that perhaps Josh wants to leave or they want him to go.

[McD]

:agree:

The guy is about as professional as they come. Works his arse off on the pitch, is one of the fittest players you’ll come across and is almost never injured. Never involved in any controversy and is extremely talented.

It’s a bizarre take imo. He was terrible against Hearts that night, I’d suggest the fact he’s held accountable for it is because he has shown how good he was in the games previous but that seems to have been forgotten about.

If I was Brian McDermott I’d be offering him a 4 year deal as our top earner.



Some folk appear to feel jilted because he had a poor game against hearts then chose to go down south to a much higher wage than we could offer. This being a player who’d been here a few months, put in some good performances, and had no emotional connection to Hibs, yet shouldn’t have dared to maximise his earnings to stay here instead.

It says we are looking to bring him in this January but a switch in the summer is also possible. Also says we are ready to ‘cash in’ on the player which suggests there is money there to be spent which is good news.

Luton Town are weighing up their options over what to do with Allan Campbell.

The former Motherwell man has been loaned out to Millwall until the summer, but has played only 12 times for the Lions.

That has the Hatters exploring if they could find a more suitable destination for the Scot.

If that happens, then he could be brought back from the Den and sent elsewhere, potentially back up north in search of regular game time.

However, Millwall would need time to get another body in before agreeing to cut Campbell's stint short.

Henderson's issue was purely physicality and speed. He might do well in Belgium - certainly played a stormer for Celtic in right wing back in Europe.

He could come back like prime Modric and there'd still be howls of agony at any stray pass. Hope he gets a good move.

m going to give Monty credit and assume he is sticking to his view he needs three or four players who can come straight into first team to improve us
So far he hasn’t seen anyone within our budget that can do that
All good things come to those who wait

Maybe you should give Brian credit for not signing anyone yet. Cos that's HIS main job.

Nick's main job is to play players in their best positions, employ a system that improves the team and get us into Europe. The jury is out on how successful he's been so far.

[Forza Fred]

Is he any good?

Clayton Taylor that is.

He’s in the first season of his first professional contract at the Jets having been signed from Sydney FC development side, where he apparently impressed.

Can’t say I have noticed him….he’s only played a dozen games or so……but is praised in a few reports I have read.

His contract still has a year to run though, and with Monty’s statement that they are looking at players in the A League whose contract expires THIS season…..that suggests to me it’s probably not us.

Incidentally as background ….The whole of the A League is skint……the controlling body just made redundant over half their staff…but as a club Newcastle are particularly skint….being propped up by the league and a few fellow clubs while they seek an owner…and Perth are in the same boat.

Not mentally strong enough to play for Hibs in my opinion, would miss a chance then hide for the rest of the match.

Thought he was by far their best player both times they played us this season. Delighted he won't be there next time we play them.

[KWJ]

Those players improved us beyond recognition that season. Their biggest problem was that they did so well they got us to a cup final that we all really wish they hadn't.

We were mince and in deep trouble before they arrived.

Claros and Doherty improved us. Kujabi, ROD and Soares (who I was most excited about) done nothing positive from my memory.

Ironically I felt Claros didn't show his best stuff until the next season with us. Then after that I thought he was an excellent wee player. After the 5-1 final I would have happily seen the back of him as well.

They still have that guy Theo Bair who looks pretty decent imo

Francombe was alright too. I slightly preferred him to Doherty, actually. Obviously their careers have gone in opposite directions and GF was more experienced than MD at that point. Did Claros not take a while to settle? I seem to remember that some folk thought we should cancel his loan in the summer. He was outstanding after the summer, though. Maybe it was his Hampden performances that caused folk to want him sent back.

Thought he bullied Whittaker a bit but when I seen him for St Johnstone before I've never been that impressed. But he's a handful and that probably counts for something in our league and something we lack.

Either ROD or soares scored an absolute peach at rugby park.

This season's Joel Nouble. Form will drop off a cliff IMO.

Aye he's decent, a handful for defenders.

That’s an insult to Nouble in my opinion, and I dinnae even rate Nouble at all.

Theo Bair is crap.

Yeah he beat our 16 year old right back and now everyone thinks he's a world beater. It's the "scored against Hibs" bias.

[04Sauzee]

Ryan Kent could be on his way to Hull.

[Dmas]

Seemingly Luton are unhappy with Allan campbells game time on loan at Millwall according to the DR should be lifting the phone their to check in, would be a quality signing think he’d be looking to stay down there but nothing wrong with asking the questions.

[04Sauzee]

Dundee are closing in on the signing of Everton centre-back Ryan Astley.

It’s understood personal terms with the 22-year-old are being finalised.

Once agreed, Astley will move on a free transfer, with the Premier League club inserting a sell-on clause into the deal.

Jeez, he looks a real player going by this.

He’ll never let them down.

[Springbank]

He’ll never let them down.

For a defender though, he doesn't run around, or hurt you, and that's not good at SPFL level

[yerauldda]

he does have full commitment though and that's not something you'll get from any other guy

[SaulGoodman]

Kanayo Megwa Recalled From Airdrieonians - Hibernian FC (https://www.hibernianfc.co.uk/article/kanayo-megwa-recalled-from-airdrieonians)

[Callum_62]

Unfortunately, Kanayo will be ineligible to play in our upcoming Scottish Cup Fourth Round match with Forfar Athletic having represented Airdrieonians in the same competition earlier this season.

Never in doubt [emoji1787]

Soares scored a double in an away win to Killie I’m sure, one was an absolute screamer.

Kujabi actually looked quite good on his debut - think it was at home to Killie - separate from the Soares game - can remember he skinned a boy and ran down the wing and also had a few good passing moves that drew a reaction from the East.

[King Cosell]

Stop me if you think you've heard this one before, but it looks like Doig to Sassuolo is done.

[Torto7]

I'm not sure I agree with this. He's unlikely to play for us as he's more defensively minded and Monty seems to want his RB pushed on. I'd rather he completed a full year with Airdrie as it was going well for him.

We only had one right back available and he's only 16.

[Blaster]

Other than the cup tie I expect he’ll be heavily involved for the next 7-8 games

Cadden will take time to get match fit and Miller away for the next few weeks. And if Megwa does well it could be miller left out/moved on

[badabing67]

Where are you seeing this

[Unseen work]

550k for Doig.

Between that and Melkersen I’m struggling to see how we appear so skint.

Go and get players in now Hibs and give the manager and team a fighting chance

Sometimes getting money like this isn't great for negotiating deals. Clubs think can get a bit more from us. Will be same once Foley money comes in

Does this mean that the instalments also have to be paid in full from the original transfer from the fee they receive

Not sure why you think he’s more defensively minded to be honest.

4 of our next 5 league games are Rangers, Killie away, Celtic & Aberdeen away. Monty has to be a bit more defensively-minded or we could find ourselves in 8th or 9th place with 13 games left.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Will just depend what’s in the contract.

[yerauldda]

Not quite the move I'd hoped for Doig. 2 points above Verona, not much of a step up.
A welcome 500k for us and not joining Celtic/Rangers, though.

Think that means our percentage carries on to possible next move.

[CallumLaidlaw]

I’d presume so. If the sell on was indeed 27.5% of profit and we’re now into the profit area, then we should get 27.5% of any future amount Verona get. Anyone confirm if that’s right?

I don't think we are. I think the imminent investment is hindering us in this window. Will Foley's group want a say on who we sign? Do we know we're on the verge of potentially shopping in a different market to now? Are other clubs aware we're just about to come in to money? think it'll be all three. That's the reason i think it'll be loans only this window.

Can’t help but feel for the lad, seemed a certainty to be going to Marseille only for the club to stop it and now end up at sassuolo

I hope he's negotiated conditions that Sassuolo have to let him speak to bigger clubs if they come in for him. Seems like he's been messed about a bit by Verona.
