Winter transfer thread 2023/24

[VoltaireHibs]

When Youan ran through early on, Vente absolutely bust a gut to get into the box and was at the edge of the six yard box and available for a square ball when Elie got his shot away.

For the Maolida chance, he was again in the box ready for the square ball, that attracted the defenders to him and created the space for the cut back to Maolida.

He was also right involved when Youan missed the header (as you would expect). If Youan hadn’t got up for it, Dylan was right there.

Exactly. They all want their Instagram highlights rather than be team players. It's not a good recipe.

He made a good run for the Moalida chance, took the defender away and the kind of run one of the front two has to make. The rest of what you say is kind of the point I’m making. There is loads said about him not being in the box, he is plenty, the ball either isn’t falling for him or he just doesn’t have that instinct to be right where he needs to be. Made the same point after the Motherwell game, nearly every chance we had he was there or thereabouts, without being the one to get on the end of anything.

Same owners as Watford I think. Or some sort of link anyway. The initial chat when he was moving was that he would go on loan to Watford and then go to Udinese

His instincts are fine. In those key moments last night he made exactly the runs you’d want him to make, and was available for a tap in. Youan didn’t find him either time (was correct to pick out Maolida the second time) - which proves the point that I and others have made about lack of service.

Were they not linked to him when he was here, and do they have some sort of link with Watford.

I never spotted the Vente run, bur definitely noticed his work at the Moalida chance and the Youan header. He also made runs whch presented Obita have a target for sone long balls, one of which he was very close to connecting with ( maybe could have done better?) .

I just think everybody else seems to be getting the blame for his current lack of form apart from him. He’s obviously not been getting chance after chance created for him but I just think a lot of the chat about him never being in the box is a bit exaggerated. If he makes more of the right runs then he’ll get the ball. FWIW I thought he did that last night. The Motherwell game I mentioned, everything was coming out towards the edge of the box looking for the ball. He’s just not showing enough for me for someone that I keep reading is a top player. I don’t think he’s a bad one by the way, but he needs to do more (he’s not alone).

The one Obita played over the top, first half if I’m thinking of the same one, Vente was annoyed with himself for not getting it down. Again, it was a run towards goal though and that’s what he needs to keep doing.

Fair enough man. As we have well established over the course of our conversations, I feel for him as I think he’s doing as much as he can without getting the rewards.

Either way, hopefully we can create a lot more going forward. Emiliano certainly looked the part last night.

That’s the one. Obita hit a couple of them, close not quite weighted right but that ball was a beauty.

[He's here!]

I note that Ryan Gauld has signed a lucrative four year contract extension with Vancouver Whitecaps. I'd actually forgotten he came on loan to us when Lennon was boss and I see he only made five appearances. Was he just utterly ineffectual or did he get injured?

Wrong place, wrong time, and injured at us mostly, if memory
serves. Think he's found his ideal place to play.

There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and transfers between Watford and Udinese.

Apologies, he did arrive when Lennon was manager - he left two weeks later, which is why I’m associating Gauld with Heckingbottom.

He might be being played "in the 10" that doesn't make him good at it. His strengths are elsewhere.

He'll end up in India or something like that. I'd be stunned if he got a move to decent league.

A player I always liked at Hibs. Not a particularly skilful or silky player, but put the ball in the box and he could finish.

[keep the faith]

Jamie MacLaren saying he doesn’t know if he will accept new reduced contract at Melbourne City and open to overseas move.

That's bad timing. Maclaren is exactly what we need up front. Great positioning and awareness, great attitude, not afraid to shoot and more often than not, always on target. Unfortunately now we have a whole load of erratic attackers in our squad.

See I think he’s the complete opposite of what we need in our current system.

Poor link up play, not overly strong or fast and does all of his good work inside the box. Him being asked to drop deep etc would be a nightmare imo.

Hopefully Marcondes starting means he’s the ones that drops deep and allows Vente to go higher up the pitch and hopefully take his chances - still don’t think we create anywhere near enough chances, a cross come shot every now and again from Jair etc doesn’t quite cut it

[Paul1642]

Feel like Amos is the Jeggo replacement.

In terms of players in, one good 1st team CB and I think we’re looking pretty good. Anything on top of that is a bonus for me.

[JimBHibees]

McLaren was awful once he didn’t have great midfield behind him.

Think he was out for a while injured

[Jones28]

Think he was out for a while injured

That sounds right, as well as replacing the Allan/McGinn/Mcgeough combination with Milligan/Mallan/Hyndman/Slivka.

[CapitalGreen]

Think he was out for a while injured

I was referring to when he was on the pitch, I thought would have been obvious.

[overdrive]

Doidge and Jeggo would go with my best wishes. I actually thought the best we've looked in midfield this season was when Jeggo was in there just after NM came into post. He does have his limitations, granted.

I agree with the poster that said we will lack a physical option up front if Doidge goes. A more physical striker would be good as an option as a plan B. Not that NM does a plan B.

[JimBHibees]

I was referring to when he was on the pitch, I thought would have been obvious.

My point was maybe he wasn’t as sharp after injury. I should have been clearer. Don’t think ever thought he was awful though

[Centre Hawf]

McLaren was awful once he didn’t have great midfield behind him.

To be fair to him I always felt he wasn't fit that second season, nor did we ever play him with Kamberi who partnered him brilliantly.

Not suggesting I would move heaven and earth to take him back but if he was wanting to come back then I would at least have the conversation.

[04Sauzee]

6 days left of the window. Still a couple of positions needing addressed. Could be a nervy last week.

[Donegal Hibby]

I liked McLaren he's got a good goalscoring record though he'd probably struggle to score in our team this season. Strikers like him and Vente need a midfielder like Scotty Allan to create chances for them .

I think we have that type of player to pick that pass in Marcondes tbh. Even in Levitt, but we need to balance our midfield better.

I like that the manager has a preferred style and wants to create an identity with it but he needs to learn you can’t use the same formation every game. We need a plan B, or to pick a formation that picks apart the opponents weaknesses. Lennon for all his faults was great at chopping and changing formations - apart from his 5 defenders against Killie :greengrin

[Scooter]

There's apart of me that would be sorry to see Jimmy go. Always seems to give his best. Would absolutely go with my best wishes as would Doidge

[Winston Ingram]

This. If you aren't creating chances, he's a man short. He'd be hopeless in this team.

[scm70nyd1973]

Re the news on Klopp - has Foley tapped him up for us so he can take over in season 2024/2025 - I jest and dream but nothing would surprise me if a deluded Jambo thought that way 🤭

Lots of aggressive replies to this, in line with the "everything is s***" theme, seeping accross here and social media. We really do need to calm down.

For what it's worth, maclaren is the all time top goalscorer in Oz and a proper finisher who doesn't need just a mcginn and Allan behind him to score goals. Just my opinion.

I think your right about Marcondes , impressed with him when he came on , looks a quality player and hopefully he's the creative midfielder we been lacking since Allan left . I'm not sure about Levitt tbh , hasn't impressed me and don't think him and Newell are a particular good pairing though hopefully he'll come good yet .

I've brought up Monty using the one formation a few times and I don't mind him playing that way though playing it all the time like against the old firm's quality or even when we aren't having any joy from it I'd like to see him being more flexible in changing his system. Always good to have a plan B when things aren't going so well which I hope Monty might consider doing yet 👍

No idea if that player is any good, or if the rumour is true. However it is encouraging , for all his faults, to see that Monty at least appears to see some of the same issues that the fans have for years. Transitioning Stevenson & Hanlon out of the starting 11. Identifying the midfield as needing fixed and the type of signing he’s looking at in Amos. A link man in Emiliano etc.

With the greatest respect to NM though, this is why we have a DoF as well to continue work on improving us longer term than just what any one manager thinks in the immediacy. If NM doesn't end up manager come the summer for whatever reason we're still going to try improving the squad based on what we know.

He won’t get the next window if we don’t start winning games.

[gorgie greens]

[Cheshire Hibee]

Happy to bring another midfielder in but not if it’s at the expense of a CB or full back.
I know we bang on about Monty constantly playing 4-4-2 but it’s possible because he hasn’t got the quality in midfield or at the back that will allow him too change it.

Realistically, you'd assume a Jeggo replacement will be someone young - they'll likely be 4th choice and any serious budget we have left needs to be allocated towards a starting CB

Ideally we need someone that is going to challenge Newell, Levitt and Amos for a place in centre midfield. If we are only signing players that will make an impact then they have to be a capable first team starter IMO.

His loan was a pretty dire one all round, however I think it was telling that he started looking like a bit of a player towards the end of the season. Almost like he needed a proper pre-season and time to get himself fit again after his ankle injury.

Surprisingly no but in general they look like they are getting stronger and think the link with Burnley helps them. Did you watch Mellon at Morecambe?

Scored 15 goals in 28 games so must have been doing something right. League 2 mind you so wee bit of a jump moving up here

To be fair the other signings we have made have lots of experience. Nothing wrong with a blend of that and some good young players on loan. However, the one position I’d have liked to have some experience in is CB.

I haven't seen the guy so not going to say he's great or terrible but as far as I can see, his only experience is League 2.

He's still very young but that profile isn't quite as exciting as some of the guys we've brought in so far.

[bingo70]

I like the sound of both the Bournemouth players rumoured to be coming in.

In an ideal world we’d be getting players with a bit more experience but both have played a good number of first team matches and I think you get a lot from youthful exuberance.

[Hibee Mac]

In fairness we've brought a couple in with decent to very good experience already, plus we're selling Jeggo he had loads of experience but we still needed better.

It's all down to quality at the end of the day.

That being said, I get the trepidation around young guys from English youth team football as we've seen a fair few flops in that department.

I'm not so sure. I don't want to criticise either player. I've never seen them and they may be top class.

But based on their experience, and the level they've played at, they don't look like the type of player I think we need.

Qualities like experience, leadership, knowledge of the Scottish game etc are what we need to push us on for the later half of the season.

Kind of where I am. One of both might turn out to be brilliant but always think it’s tough bringing a player like that in to a struggling team without a bit stability.

I can’t work out for the life why, in the summer as well as now, we haven’t went and signed a proper, first pick centre half.

We've also had a fair few flops who have been older and more experienced! I understand folk being concerned, I have more fear when we sign older journeymen who many on here like to christen as "wage theives". Most of them have had their careers and are coasting, just getting a wage. The young guys are starting out and, in their minds, want to be the best. If we give them that platform then that's fine with me.

I understand your concerns as we have had plenty of young players who havent been up to it, a few have though. However, if we have now got an established link with Bournemouth, which it seems we have, id like to think they arent sending us poor players? Surely they are going to be better players?

They may be similar experience but that doesn't mean they're the same level of player. Especially considering there's a 3 years age gap, maybe Bevan is developing quickly and is ready for another challenge?

Also in reality if he's coming as part of a free loan to be our 4th choice CB while the guy we own in Harbottle is out starting every week on loan and someone else is paying his wages for now then I guess that may help us in the long run too.

Yea, hoping the players we get from Bournemouth aren’t ‘dead rubber’ and are the players that need experience to propel them to the PL - likewise some of our new signings should be of that calibre

I think what we are doing is incredibly risky and could easily blow up in our faces.

None of the guys we are signing (rumoured to be signing) have played much recently and/or have very little experience at our level.

Like others I feel that we need to sign some good seasoned pro’s maybe with less upside potential but smart enough to add grit and determination to a squad that looks lacking in it.

If we have to wait half a dozen games or so for these guys to get to grips with things we could find ourselves close to the relegation spots.

What really concerns me is we aren’t prioritising a goalkeeper. David Marshall has been really poor for us consistently making mistakes. We’ve actually weakened that position by letting Boruc go while Jojo is away.

The squad planning element is baffling. We let Harbottle go when we had 2 fit centre backs and then Hanlon got ill. This meant we had to play Obita at CB. It’s just bad decision making and it’s costing us and would sympathise with Montgomery in that regard.

Made a mistake during the week but Marshall has been one of the few in decent form recently.

Lack of a proper first pick centre half both in the summer and now is just proper neglect of such an important position. I don’t get it at all.

Marshall has been in very good form recently but it was obvious last season that we needed to strengthen that position.

Totally agree that centre half should also have been a huge priority and absolutely neglectful for it not to have been properly addressed.

We seem to be constantly bringing in players who won’t improve that all important ‘spine’ of the team or addressing the obvious problem areas. Absolutely baffling.

Marshall has been better since Montgomery came in. For me, though, some of the criticism is unfair. I think he makes a lot less mistakes than his team mates, it's just because he's in goals it seems worse. They're all guilty of mistakes, be it terrible passes, losing the ball by pissing about or missing sitters. Indeed, many of the goals we have lost which are attributed to mistakes by Marsh have originated from mistakes further up the pitch in the first place. He's not immune, absolutely not, but far from the worst imo.

[Paloschi]

It’s not an exaggeration though when you consider his whole time with us and how many goals he has cost us. He has been a bad signing and statistically one of the worst in the league last season. He can’t inspire confidence in the backline. I think our expectations are well too low if we are happy with Marshall in goal.

Marcondes, Maolida and Amos are not really inexperienced players.

He was poor last season, no denying that, but he has improved massively this year and is probably one of our most consistent players just now. Can we improve in that area? Of course. Would it be a priority for me? No

We can carry on with Marshall till end of season but he will make mistakes.

It's the CB that worries me the most. We have 4 midfielders once Jeggo leaves (Newell, Levitt, Amos and Marcondes), with JDH to come back. Having another young guy on loan to compliment those options is fine.

But we need a first choice CB to come in and hit the ground running. We already have a 20 year old CB on loan. I'm not sure another is what I was hoping for.

3 midfielders signed this window. Almost as if the manager could see the same problems as the fans?

Nah, he's ***** and doesn't have a clue don't you know.

He’s half Brazilian. But the point the poster is making is bizarre.

He’s Danish. Born there and has always lived there. His mother was Brazilian. She left them when he was 4 and she died in 2012. Ask him what he is and he won’t say Half Danish.

Oh right, ok fully take that back!

Tell you what, a shop specialising in dreadlocks and selling Jimmy Boco wigs would make a fortune on Easter Road :greengrin

He sounds promising and highly rated by Bournemouth fans

Don't think they'd go down well in this day and age, cause an uproar with PC brigade.

There no PC brigade at Tynie, they can’t install Windows.

“Impending departure of Jeggo”

I must have missed that. Where is he going? Hasn’t made an impression and glad we are really strengthening this area.

[HH81]

Newell and Levitt might struggle to get a game today then?

Melbourne apparently.

Back to Australia.

Nice to see a problem area being targeted with players who can get about the park

Surprised Moriah Welsh is a perm deal - seemed to be quite rated by the Bournemouth fans

He hasn't actually played a competitive first team game for them so not sure how much we could trust that view.....

We heard similar from Leeds fans who apparently rated Kenneh, hopefully NMW will make a better impact.

[SickBoy32]

Really not sure how you can say than in fact its impossible to know.
Fans have been greetin there eyes out about the excisting players. We go out and get players who should be better and without playing a full game there not good enough

Just basing it off previous youth players we’ve signed from EPL clubs, most don’t cut it. Hopefully these guys do.

Not just them but maybe a few players going to experience a (metaphorical) boot to the posterior region! Too many in their comfort zones for me, thinking they'll play regardless of form.

This guy has had a successful loan spell elsewhere though so not the same as Kenneh.

Frankly a number on here will sau black if you say white and white if you say black. They won't change.

It’s important that he has played adult football. Makes a big difference.

Ah yes sorry - I just checked wiki which said 0 appearances but you are right.

Was just about to say Harbottle was "highly rated" by Forest fans. The point is that we should really take the "highly rated" chat from fans who haven't seen that much of him with a pinch of salt.
