Winter transfer thread 2023/24

[Paulie Walnuts]

Has he not been playing regularly for their B team?

Played 6 times for the ‘B team’ this season from the looks of things. Played half an hour since Christmas time. Appears to have been available though.

[04Sauzee]

Our friend Scott Burns 👀 says this.

Has been one of Nick Montgomery's top defensive targets in this window. Sunderland had knocked back previous approaches from Hibs. A player Montgomery knows well from Central Coast Mariners.

[Fergus52]

The fact people still refer back to a situation from nearly 40 years ago rather than a more recent example tells its own story. It’s a massive exception rather than the norm.

I don’t think folk realise that pointing out somebody managed to turn things round nearly 40 years ago isn’t proving the point they think it is.

Arteta is a good more recent example then.

Its the exception because up and down Britain managers get sacked too early all the time.

I don't think a poor performing manager should be given time just for the sake of it, but there's definitely something to be said for a bit of stability - especially if a manager has a long term plan for the team that he can build towards.

Like the sound of that. Big guy and an athlete

6 foot 3 and can play a few positions according to transfermarkt. Wonder if we are after him is Bevan still a target too?.

Jamie Borthwick reporting it now


Hibs looking to bring in central defender Nectarios Triantis on loan from Sunderland. Aussie U23 international was with Nick Montgomery at Central Coast Mariners. Latest deadline day news in our live blog 👇

Noticed he also said other signing(s) are possible but defender the priority.

Wonder who else/what position we’d be looking at

[CentreForward]

With Triantis coming wonder if this means that Bevan deal has fallen through? Would seem a bit odd given the Bournemouth connection.

Arteta probably is a decent recent example, but for every Arteta there’ll be many more who prove the opposite - managers who have been kept on and there team has been relegated etc.

Aberdeen underperformed under Glass. They sacked him and improved instantly. Hearts let Stendell see out the season and got relegated, we done the same with Butcher. Leicester let Rodgers hang on until late in the season and got relegated, his successor increased their PPG significantly etc.

It’s impossible to say whether managers get sacked too early all the time because we don’t see how they would have done had they been kept on. It’s pure guesswork to suggest otherwise.

We should've been in for Shankland when he went to DU. But so should a lot of teams back then. The talent was obvious.

Give his scoring rate it’s surprising there doesn’t appear to be much of a transfer frenzy surrounding him. What’s putting clubs off?

Is triantis actually any good? Seen a few people say he'd be brilliant? I'm sure we know that the A league can't always be a good judge of quality and not made any impact in the championship? What are people basing him being great off. Not saying he's a bad player btw just curious.

Both right-sided? I guess it offers another option at full-back too - or even a back three if Monty is feeling frisky.

We witnessed Aston Villa deploying a centre-back at right-back at Easter Road in a kind-of 4-4-2, which allowed their left-back to play a big role in absolutely destroying us...

[ChilliEater]

Totally agree with your last paragraph - that's probably where you have to look at more than just results before you sack them - is there a clear plan? Are there real signs that he knows what he's doing? Are the players buying into it? - we don't really know the answers to these unless we're actually part of the everyday workings of the club. Personally I'd still stick with Monty, although I understand why some wouldn't.
On Butcher though - I didn't like his style of play and didn't want him at Hibs, but, his track record showed every club he managed got worse in the short term but the 2 that stuck with him - Motherwell and Inverness - then improved and probably punched above their weight while he was there. Horrible agricultural anti football, but effective. Still glad we sacked him, but I actually think he could have been a decent hearts manager. Quite levein like in his approach.

On paper he looks like the kind of guy we have signed barrel loads of over the years. Some posters have made some big claims regarding him, would be interesting to hear if it’s based on more than one game or YouTube highlight reels.

Sunderland do have 2 cracking CB ahead of him in Ballard and O'Nien so probably not based on his ability alone. Ballard will definitely go on to play in the prem.

Edit: Looks like Triantis may have been the CB we were trying to sign at the start of the window.

According to the EEN the emergence of Triantis as our main target won't affect Bevan signing . Wonder if a defender could be moving if we sign two ? .

I'm sorry but if Kerr is away to Aberdeen then that is a complete shambles from Hibs. Will be another one we all claim we didn't want/need for a while until we all come to the realisation we missed out. There are some signings that are just obvious, Hibs recruitment team have a habit of managing to miss what most fans can clearly see.

What if we've brought better in?

Going to be some summer rebuild with the amount out of contracts/loan expiring.

Hopefully Monty does well second half of the season so everyone is content he’s the man for the job and can properly build a squad suited to him

Stop asking difficult questions you......

[Since90+2]

Kerr knows the league and was a very big part of St Johnston's cup double. He's a good age for a centre half and the added bonus he's a Hibs fan.

Yes he's had injury problems but to me he seems like exactly what we need

Good. Anyone out of contract this summer shouldn’t be here next season IMO (I’ll exclude a couple of loan players who I’d be happy to keep but don’t think we will).

Never thought we’d do much that was longer term in this window so please try surprised that we’ve ended up adding two midfielders who will be here beyond the end of the season.

Do think we’re taking a bit of a risk at centre half not getting any experience in though.

Also an enormous and potentially expensive risk given he has played one game in a year and has previously broken down during his rehab. Given how much we were burned by Kyle Magennis maybe club reluctant to take it until he proves his fitness. Also possible they think we can get better.

Not getting at you , but this " knows the league " line gets on my wick.
Celtic have a squad of 30, 7 are scottish and " know the league" , yet they seem to do ok.

I've watched hibs for nearly 50 years and heard this line carted out frequently over that time.

Where has this got us? Average 6th place since inception of premier league, now SPFL.
Suzie, Dirk, Latapy etc never knew the league but they were worth admission money.

We have wasted money on players that knew the league and got relegated .

Personally, I want a successful team on the pitch , I don't care where they are from or if they " know the league"

I don't see the Celtic comparison as valid TBH. They buy multi million pound players who are also in some cases internationals and coming to play in a league where the standard of players they are up against are generally a few levels below them. That makes knowing the league less important IMO.

It's not a deal breaker but for me its definitely a bonus.

He could sign and get injured, we could sign a guy who's young and never been injured and turns out to be miles below the level needed. Daniel Boateng still gives me nightmares.

Any signing has risk attached to it. It's down to the recruitment team to weigh all the different aspects up.

It's a stretch I agree but the fact we want players that know the league had been a reason we have underachieved in my lifetime.
To me , and just my opinion, we have looked to the scottish market to our detriment, while others have looked elsewhere.

Yeh we bring in others, but this " we need to bring in players that know league" is a false economy, as has been shown with our league placings in comparison to our revenue as 3rd-4th placed in size

Ryan Kent to Lazio

[CapitalGreen]

I had a look when you asked previously. Transfermarkt doesn’t appear to have him in a 3 at any point at Wigan. They appear to have played a 4 a few times after he signed but he wasn’t playing in it.

Are you sure? I picked 5 games at random he started last season and Wigan were playing a back 3 in 4 of them. Done the same for 21/22 and all 5 games I looked at had Kerr starting in a back 3.

Will we bring a Doidge replacement in?

I would be concerned with Alf as back up (injury and a very much much - drop deep striker).

[Since452]

Will we bring a Doidge replacement in?

Think we've already got him. With the amount of strikers on our books one had to go. Wouldn't be surprised to see McKirdy leave on loan too.

[Torto7]

Will we bring a Doidge replacement in?

I doubt it. We have Vente, Boyle, Maolida, ALF, McKirdy, Youan(winger just now but capable through the middle), Emiliano and he seems to rate Landers.

St Mirren are desparate to stay in the top six this year and push for fourth A signing like that could just be what they need if he can replicate his Motherwell form for them

[AugustaHibs]

Cheer up! Let's see them play first.

I will.

But at the end of the day an experienced centre half has been needed for years, for some reason we seem incapable of doing that and signing 3 young loans is just kicking the can down the road.

Well the manager has just been sacked. Who is going to sign for them, if they don't who they are going to playing for and how they are gonna play. signing for them now would be a shot in the dark imo.

I'm sure plenty players would take that chance if there were significantly increased wages on offer. (Obviously that's unlikely to be the case with Kerr, but it is the general answer to almost any variation of "why would a player do that?")

[Brightside]

I will.

So its ability rather than experience which is important?

[Tyler Durden]

Will try this for the third time as its a genuine question.

Has Jason Kerr ever played in a 4?

We all know he didn't at St Johnstone and Wigan appear to have played a 3 in recent times too.

St Johnstone played a back 4 loads under Tommy Wright. So yeah, he's played in a back 4

It's also not that important IMO. He'll have grown up in youth football typically playing in a back 4 anyway. It's not a major issue for professional CBs to switch between a 3 and a 4. There aren't many specialist back 3 centre backs out there

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

So its ability rather than experience which is important?

It’s both that’s required, along with a whole bunch of other attributes.

But as far as I can see he's hardly every played on the left. We need someone who can play on the left.

Ideally yes. But I'd still rather have Kerr there than Rocky or Hanlon. Given we're all just talking in hypotheticals anyway.

A fit Kerr is better than any of our options at right CB.

Tough to comment on the other players linked as I've never seen them. Albeit a 20 year old with limited experience from the A League is not what I was hoping for.

[KWJ]

We need a centre half who is better than what we currently have, and ideally, one who can be commanding, motivating and organise the back 4 which typically comes with experience.

Porteous ability, McPake character and Bobby Fischer levels of concentration!

Fish is miles off the levels kerr was at with st Johnstone. Kerr much more of a leader and aggressive. Fish gets bullied as easy as Hanlon does.
