Winter transfer thread 2023/24

[04Sauzee]

Reckon Amos must be signing of the club are coming out and talking about him like that

The fact he has been training with Spurs U23's and Ange being a fan of Monty's having invited Monty down to watch Spurs train, I wonder if Ange has given him good reports.

[Unseen work]

Interesting Monty says they were thinking about taking him to Dubai but it was too soon.

Too late to organise? Or too soon fitness wise? You’d think if it was the latter that would be perfect for him.

Even if it was late on, how hard is it to add an extra player

[Brightside]

contract is up in the summer...

If there was any chance we should go all out for him. He's very good and still a young man. Would be the best signing of the window.

Obviously hard enough if they didn't do it, presuming that was the case of course.

With Mcinnes signing Greg Stewart it now gives him the option of a complete ex Aberdeen forward line



GMS……..Stewart………Kennedy….

…………….Watkins…..

He’ll be desperate to get Cosgrove etc too

Its a very old forward line.

Unfortunately for Magennis that will never happen.

[Billy Whizz]

Has the Doig transfer gone through yet?

[jacomo]

Looks like he’s still got a bad attitude


If that’s the case, Dylan Tait won’t be the first young Scottish talent to fail to take the opportunity in front of him… or the last, sadly.

[Potty78]

Unfortunately for Magennis that will never happen.

Yeh, see he's out for a while again. Shame as decent when fit.

Scott burns reporting about Luke Amos being offered a chance at a contract. Bloody Scott burns.

I remember this boy at Spurs.

He made his debut at Newcastle on the opening day of the Champions League Final season. Did brilliantly that pre-season then done his knee a few weeks later after his debut. Came back and went on loan to QPR and they ended up buying him. Did really first season and a half and then did his knee again.

Very unusual for the club to be taking about a player on trail anyway.

Yes, in 2039. He's looking at houses for his grandchildren in Verona

Away to sassuolo for €6 mil Billy

I think there must be method to the madness.

We’ve already agreed a deal with him and planting the seed so it’s not like a random trialist who can’t get a deal elsewhere.

We’ve decided not to pursue a deal with him and doing him a favour by publicising his availability.

We only want him if he really wants to come to us, could be testing him to see if he gets offers elsewhere what his reaction is.

[Winston Ingram]

I dunno mate.

I do remember Pochettino raving about him a few times that pre-season. I know the friendlies but he was outstanding.

[Caversham Green]

Anyone heard a rumour about Tom McIntyre joining?

No noises about it down here.

He's probably Reading's best defender (not a very high bar these days) but a combination of injuries and strange management seems to be keeping him out of the side quite a bit. I'd call him solid but unspectacular.

I don't think so. He was actually born down here I think but his dad is Scottish.

Seeing the numbers Miovski and Shankland get for their teams, we need to get Vente’s numbers up massively.

Or get someone that we can rely on weekly to bail us out in a similar fashion.

I may well be wrong, but I’d be curious to see the chance conversion rate of each player.

Worth remembering that Shankland hardly scored in his first SPL season as he played in a team that created little for him.

[greenlex]

Or maybe Crewe.
V neck………..it’s Airdrie.

[Stevie Reid]

I also think he needs to create and get in better positions himself

He has a few assists to be fair, Jim. But I’m much more interested in us getting him on the end of things.

Agreed.

[B.H.F.C]

Don’t know about as good as them, but he’s certainly a good finisher.

Miovski is a really good player. He had a shocker against us in December but he generally doesn’t need much more than a half chance.

[JimBHibees]

He has a few assists to be fair, Jim. But I’m much more interested in us getting him on the end of things.

Definitely service to him needs to be better however think at times he could be hungrier to get on the end of things.

I think the Burnley Dundee partnership is more of a link up between clubs at this stage, similar to our partnership with Brighton that never got off the ground.

[Stevie Reid]

Shankland would have finished the big chance that Vente had against Hearts.

Maybe. Given that Shankland completely missed the target with a penalty before he finished that much harder chance that cost us a point, it’s impossible to say.

Perhaps Vente would have scored the Boyle penalty. We’ll never know.

[HoboHarry]

Shankland would have finished the big chance that Vente had against Hearts.

You can't possibly say that with certainty. Every striker from Pele to Kenny Dalglish to Messi to Ronaldo has missed better chances than the one Vente had.

Exactly, it’s some kind of retroactively slating the guy. He had no previous connection to the club, came here, played well for the most part, and left at the end of the agreed period (once the covid season had been officially ended).

Players can’t be forced to move anywhere, permanently or on loan, so this ‘didn’t want to be here’ is total nonsense

Hibernian are due a significant sell-on fee for this transfer

[AL-Qaholik]

[Unseen work]

Did we ever get the full amount for Doig?

Presumably we’d be due that now, think it was about 1 million still to be paid so potentially 1.5 million?

[Unseen work]

Anybody else hearing Youan might be away?

Not surprised if there is interest.

Wouldn’t surprise me if he was to leave as for some reason I don’t think Month is his biggest fan due to how unpredictable he is.

Would be a massive mistake though imo - bin the formation/style of play before Youan every day of the week

[Bridge hibs]

Not claiming to be ITK at all - I’ve a mate whose family is very close to the club and he sometimes hears bits & bobs. Doesn’t always pan out, though. Just wondered if anybody else had heard similar.

[04Sauzee]

I don’t think they offered him a contract? Pretty sure we are not due them anything

I have it in my head that any club he has played for gets a very small development fee, contact offered or not, that filters all the way down to any boys clubs he was with. Off course I could absolutely be wrong.

[GloryGlory]

Think he probably just wanted away from Verona.

I think it was more he was pushed out the door as Verona have been cashing in this window on their players - sold a couple of others in multi million Euro deals, including a striker to Napoli for 18 million.

[GloryGlory]

Where are you hearing that ?

There was something on the Bounce recently about a big bid by Salford - seemed a bit out there as 1) would Youan want to go there, and 2) can Salford afford the at least couple of £million that Hibs would likely be looking for?

[GloryGlory]

How much have we actually made from
Selling Josh Doig all in?

£3.6 million or so, plus we still have a potential share in Verona's 1million Euro add ons and 10% sell on fee.

[EGL2000]

Anybody else hearing Youan might be away?

Got to be a significant fee if so paid good money for him and here till 2026. Would be expecting at least2.5mil

Shankland not playing for the Jambos today and rumours that The Rangers are circling after he turned down a new contract:

[CapitalGreen]

Think we are due Hearts about 0.25% as a development fee. I'm sure someone will have the exact percentage.

Yes, Hearts will get a share of 5% of the fee through FIFA’s training compensation scheme. All clubs which trained a player between the ages of 12-23 share the money proportionally - the proportions due to each club are calculated using a formula taking account of time spent at each club and the level of the club’s academy.

[Bridge hibs]

Not claiming to be ITK at all - I’ve a mate whose family is very close to the club and he sometimes hears bits & bobs. Doesn’t always pan out, though. Just wondered if anybody else had heard similar.

He was quite clear at the time he didn't see his future at Hibs and I'm happy he's got his wish. I want to know why he has a fan club on here after a very ordinary loan period years ago.

If we want to progress we really need to stop selling our best players the 2.5 million fee mark, especially those we just bought in the summer for 750k.

Never mind the potential of Foley coming in and injecting some cash

I’d prefer to know why people pretend a centre mid scoring/assisting once each game on average is made out to be ordinary.

[Broken Gnome]

Youan leaving all of a sudden is pretty believable, in the way that things can happen out of the blue in January.

Doubt he's that emotionallly attached to us if there's attractive interest elsewhere, and might be that we aren't all that opposed to taking the money and reinvesting in other positions.

They’re massively different. Josh Campbell has 6 goals/assists in 21 games this season. Last season he had 9 goals and 5 assists in 41 games. To suggest that’s not too different to someone who was averaging 1 goal or assist per game is ridiculous.

Aye its a funny old game, the new guy coming in was just talking about how Youan had said all the good things about Hibs, so he is now here on loan, while his mate may get a big move, good luck to him.

Docherty's stats whilst here are pretty inflated due to number of games and half his goal involvement being against BSC Glasgow though

[ElginHibbie]

Let’s see if any of our players massively improve their stats from today then.

Doubt anyone uses that team we played start of the season in Europe to discount goals scored

I am sure if 1 in 8 of our games played were against Lowland League teams everyone stats would be better right enough, would make it a more of fair comparison anyway

If ignore that 1 game it is still 2 goals and 2 assists in 7 for Docherty so whilst not something every game still very decent

If he is away it’ll need to be for a big fee.

[Paulie Walnuts]

Docherty's stats whilst here are pretty inflated due to number of games and half his goal involvement being against BSC Glasgow though

Even with that game removed, his record is night and day ahead of Josh Campbells.

[NC1875]

Even with that game removed, his record is night and day ahead of Josh Campbells.

Hence the reason he’s playing for Hull in the English Championship and will be coming nowhere near Hibs anytime soon.

Don’t know why people are even discussing it.

[GloryGlory]

I'd expect at least one of our forward players to be leaving before end of window but be surprised if it was Youan, Doidge and/or McKirdy(on loan) would seem more likely to me unless there is crazy money involved

Not sure if St Gallen would be due a big sell on, but anything north of £2 million (minimum) comes in and IMO Hibs would seriously look at it.

Edit:

I hope Hibs demand a bigger upfront fee for our players because I'm not sure these big %age sell on fees produce as much as anticipated - e.g. I think we would have been looking at Doig to generate bigger money a la Hickey.

[JohnM1875]

Hope not. Worth more than that to us in my opinion. Aberdeen in particular seem to do well at holding on to players for what they’re worth. Hope we do the same with Youan

Contract runs to summer 26 as well.

[Hibs4185]

Think we are due Hearts about 0.25% as a development fee. I'm sure someone will have the exact percentage.

Budge wanted a tenner of us instead of the 0.25% so we’re not due then anything

I’m not sure Hibs will be all that hard to deal with re Youan.

He’s a bit of a fans’ favourite (albeit more popular within some demographics than others) but he really hasn’t looked at his best under the current manager. As you say, with a player so hot and cold, there’s no guarantee that sell ons would be achieved at his next club so a respectable chunk of cash to put towards someone who is a nearer fit into the way the current manager wants to play and I expect we’ll be very open to doing business. We might almost be happy to break even on him, talk of taking £2m plus is crazy talk imo.

Not saying that I’d agree with the above, because when channeled appropriately he’s our best player…

But we have a manager who needs to be doing a fair bit of transfer business to get a side together that can play the way he wants to play - with what appears to be limited funds. The odd high profile departure of an imperfect player who might generate a bit of cash (or save on a big wage) may be inevitable.

He could be a great signing 'if' he's match fit. I know he was training with the Spurs U23's so not sure if he played some bounce games or not. Going by the footage I have seen he definitely looks high energy, likes to break the lines with his passes and does look like he likes to carry the ball.

Wonder if it will be a 6 month deal or longer.

He’s exactly the sort of player we’d sign, not use properly, and slaughter.

A couple of times against Hibs he’s been outstanding and I thought my United supporting mate would really rate him but he spoke very similarly about him to the way he spoke about Dylan Levitt - some great touches and passes but doesn’t savour the defensive side of the game and lightweight.

Ok, I guess, if you play a certain way and maybe have a couple of mobile bruisers to play CM with him but arguably a luxury player?

He did state that he didn't just want to bring someone in for the sake of bringing someone in if it was then a barrier to youngsters already at the club. I think the club can be questioned for their activity in this window (CH, midfield, striker) but I don't see how they can be criticized for giving one of our own youngsters an opportunity when he has been getting good reviews for the club he was on loan at.

As has been said lots of times on this forum, how do you know if youngsters are going to have what it takes unless they are given a chance - that is exactly what is happening in this circumstance.

For us I’m getting concerned that we actually are skint, and how we’re so skint. To begin with I thought Monty was just saying it but he’s been banging on about it in every interview to the extent he’s starting to sound like David Martindale. The two trialists of free agents and trial of Moore just add to us thinking that - even though Amos does look quality if, and it’s a big if, he can stay fit. But then when sign Maolida on loan that can’t be cheap?

I just can’t see us paying any fee whatsoever this window which, which considering there’s some good players out of contract means we could could miss out on them.

We will be lucky to make much of a profit on Youan, he has learned nothing, may even have regressed and has a shocking attitude.

There are reasons why players like him & Kamberi are available for loans with options to buy and they are little to do with ability in their cases.

[NGoloGrantie]

I mean realistically we only have Youan and Jair atm as options out wide. Boyle obvs with oz and think maolida will be mainly used as a striker. Makes sense to get a bit more cover in the wide areas. Our squad is very light atm if either jair or youan get injured before boyle comes back we are goosed.

We’ve also only got 2 central defenders whilst Rocky is away with arguments over how good any of them actually are and shipping goals for fun (other than yesterday of course)We are obviously trying to sign defenders based on one falling through earlier in the week

That doesn't stop anything else that might come up going ahead though

Surely pish? Last thing we need is another winger.

Unless someone is moving on Youan?

Started yesterday though. Know there’s been rumours going around that he’s off. Would seem weird to me considering he started and we just signed his mate on loan.

Started because there's no one else to play in that position.

Why? What if he's significantly better than the options we have at the moment?

Finally a "World cup star" in Edinburgh [emoji6]

Bennette played in Costa Rica's 2022 World Cup qualification fixtures against Canada and Honduras in November 2021, becoming Costa Rica's youngest player to feature in World Cup qualifying.[9] Bennette became crucial for the team, as he assisted Joel Campbell to score the lone goal at the play-off match against New Zealand to seal Costa Rica's spot at the 2022 FIFA World Cup. On 23 September, he scored his first two international goals in a friendly against South Korea.[11] On 3 November 2022, Bennette was named in Costa Rica's 26 player squad for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.

It’s absolutely nothing against the lad who actually seems a very good young player, it just seems so so Hibs.

He’s a left winger by the looks of things, we have Jair, Youan, Maolida, Boyle Rudi and McKirdy that could all play there. Even Obita if we absolutely had to with Stevenson at left back.

Crying out for a left sided centre half, centre mid and a bigger striker imo who could take over from Doidge.

Are you suggesting he’s off?

If he is this place could go into meltdown

Fingers crossed, he was a shambles yesterday.

I’d be one of them to be honest, depending on the fee of course!

Aye he’s frustrating, but he’s about the only thing I enjoy about going to watch Hibs these days. Him and Jair are the only players that try to take a man on.

Someone posted a rumour last week, either here or on the PM board, he would be the only player in the squad in his position that may be away, doesn't look interested half the time, good player but doesn't work hard enough for where he plays.

I don't think this place would go into meltdown to be honest and going by a few posts they don't seem to overly positive over his half hearted performances of late

On his day he can show flashes of class but to be honest those are not too often, if Youan wants to go and hibs get a decent offer then there will be no meltdown from me

We need good wide options to make this formation work, maybe this guy is an upgrade on what we have?

Monty said 4 players, we have our striker,can see a winger/wide player coming in, a midfielder and a defender.

If we can get this Amos guy in, the winger and we know we have been trying to get a centre back in, we will be in better shape.

Would all depend on who his replacement was, but I wouldn't be unhappy if he left, and I'd be surprised if there was any kind of meltdown.

Nothing against him mind, I feel the same way about most of our players!!
