Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[chippy]

Rocky and Triantis will never be anywhere near as good as Hanlon was /is.

Neither of them are any good and need replaced pronto.

I’d have Triantis for midfield though

[Donegal Hibby]

Murray interested in signing Stevenson and Hanlon .

Hanlon should sign for an SPL side. Easily good enough for another season.

[GC1976]

RR could yet be an SPL team - would make a decent change from Perth [emoji6]

Why’s that? What games did he play well in midfield?

I'd imagine there will be a couple of premier clubs in for him maybe like Dundee , Motherwell in for him .

He’s done awrite when he’s played in midfield. Nothing great though and wouldn’t be a first pick for me

He's poor to average in midfield, i think folk were just happy to get him away from the centre of the defense.

Another i hope goes back to his parent club and never comes back.

‘Hertha wants about 700,000 euros for Maolida

Hertha can also hope for transfer income with two other loans. Hibernian Edinburgh is planning a firm commitment from Myziane Maolida. The winter loan of the Paris-born national player of the Comoros ignited. In the Scottish Premiership, the attacker, who did not get a foot in the door with coach Pal Dardai in Berlin, scored seven goals in 13 appearances. In the current relegation round, in which Hibernian lost 0:4 to FC Aberdeen on Sunday, Maolida scored a goal in three games, plus a goal in the Scottish FA Cup. The loan contract does not include a purchase option, Hertha has about 700,000 euros in mind as a transfer. Important for the Berlin second division club, which is still under cost pressure, would be to get Maolida's salary from the payroll one year before the end of the contract in 2025. In the current loan, Hertha bears part of the salary of the former French junior national player.’

I took that to mean that Hibernian Edinburgh are committed to trying to sign Maolida which their media will have read in our media slaverings.

£700k sounds braw but his wages are £12-15k a week and his agent will be touting him all over the shop.
There is also the current poisonous atmosphere from the our supporters on the back of the teams poor results and the managers tenuous position.
All things that make Hibs a less likely destination.
He's only 25 so we could pay up if he is willing to come with the understanding that we will allow him to move on after a year for a couple of million quid.

Maybe Foley/BKG could sub part of his wages? Give Bournemouth a first option on him in return.

[Springbank]

Maybe Foley/BKG could sub part of his wages? Give Bournemouth a first option on him in return.

To be honest, with the model we are working within, there is nothing better than an early example of the process working for all parties.

So the best outcome would be Bournemouth buy him for £700k, and we get a season long loan. Why?

Any talented player like "future Maolida's" can be sold the dream

Come to Edinburgh
Impress for Hibs
Do your very best & chances are...
You get signed by an EPL team

The true Elite players might listen to that

And an early example of the process working is always the best approach, to anything

[Springbank]

By the way, on Maolida...

Would be a key signing

Our neighbours across town have shown how far you can get with a generally poor team, as long as you have a good goalie, a goalscorer (ie maolida), Limited but hardworking midfield & defence

It's no1 & no9 that make your season

[Aldo]

700,000 euros equate to just over £600,000.

If we are able to afford this then we really need to get this done.

Yes there are a few stumbling blocks wages wise but this would be a quality signing.

Maybe when we sell Youan we use that money to sign MM.

Think it comes down to whether he wants to play at Hibs. We can afford the fee if the reported fee is correct. I'd assume if we are going with a much leaner squad we can pay a fair amount more in wages. That's assuming again if we can get rid of the players we want to go without to much outlay.

[Broken Gnome]

I can't realistically see why we'd be anywhere near first choice for Maolida.

If that's the best offer on the table and the financial backing means it's possible, good stuff. Just can't think he's been that sold on the move over the last five minutes.

Suppose it depends on what he’s looking for. A chance to play every week, score goals, well liked/loved by the fans, and an opportunity to reset his career and show what he can do, after it going off the rails.


I think a large part will be who the manager is, and what that manager has to say to him about his (MM’s) role at the club. NM has played him virtually every match, and he’s scored quite a few goals. A new manager might not (but almost certainly will, I’m just speculating :greengrin)

[Centre Hawf]

I can't see Maolida staying to be honest. But if that's the price you could probably get that negotiated down with some sell on clauses etc.

While his wages may be high at the moment it's hard to see him getting that wage elsewhere again if his reputation is a bit in the mud in Europe. Even our top earner bracket might be in his ball park, all we might need is for Hertha to stump up the difference in the rest of his contract which it sounds like they'd probably be happy to do judging by the comments on him.

A 3 year deal on similar wages with a release clause built in would see him sign for us. Realistically the £2-3m a championship team would pay for him is peanuts to them.

Think so.

At that reported price I’m sure there will be other suitors keeping an eye on him

If it was indeed Monty that let Paul and Lewis go then that is a shambles. For what it's worth I think it is right they move on, but why would the club let a manager who is about to get his jotters punt 2 of our cup winning legends?

If that is true it just speaks to the complete ineptitude that permeates Hibernian at the moment.

TBF most of this board has wanted rid of them for about the last 5 years. I imagine if they'd been playing regularly then there would still be massive calls for them to go.

I thought he was at times very good last season.

We had a respectable second half to the season, mainly driven by Kevin Nisbet but a few other players, notably Hanlon, put a decent shift towards earning us a bit of respectability from a challenging season.

[badabing67]

Just going to post similar, looked good the 1st couple of games but the team being so poor hasn't helped a player like him, he needs players around him to play well, only one doing so was Myzaine and all you had was him trying too many over complicated passes trying to make things work, he did look a bit peed off most games when things weren't going as planned.

Good balance in midfield tonight.

It’s always tempting to focus on Campbell’s negatives but there’s something about his energy and ability to get up and support a striker that adds something to our play.

I rate him and would love to see him play a bigger part next season. He has something about him.

He’s a workhorse and generally we get better results when he plays. There’s technical ability ofcourse but his main attribute is work rate. Pops up in the right places and makes the opposition make mistakes in possession. And scores goals. My kind of player.

He is highly rated by parent Club so probably go out on loan down south next

[Victor]

There’s a player in triantis as well

Definitely. Would be a good investment as a DM. His passing last night was exceptional.

[Forza Fred]

Rumours of Boyle going to the A-League?

Certainly nothing surfaced about that down here.

[MWHIBBIES]

He was much better than his midfield partner tonight who starts every week regardless of how poorly he is performing.

Because he is our best midfielder. Look at his pass for 2nd goal.

[CapitalGreen]

Because he is our best midfielder. Look at his pass for 2nd goal.

He was absolutely woeful out of possession. Dribbled past multiple times, failed to win the ball in any tackle. Having Triantis’ effort and energy protecting the back 4 made a massive difference compared to the cardboard cutout-esque midfield of last Sunday.

[JimBHibees]

They did.

Good balance in midfield tonight.

It’s always tempting to focus on Campbell’s negatives but there’s something about his energy and ability to get up and support a striker that adds something to our play.

I rate him and would love to see him play a bigger part next season. He has something about him.

Agree totally Josh provides energy others dont

So you’ve been happy with his performances over the season? One pass and folk are gushing.

He’s been poor for the majority of the season, as have others.

Doesn’t take much for him to be our best midfielder though.

[EGL2000]

Definitely. Would be a good investment as a DM. His passing last night was exceptional.

I wouldn't be going anywhere near personally. I think he played really well last and against Livingston but that's been it. Some shockers in other games. One of our major problems is offering out deals to people who really aren't good enough then we are stuck with them for a couple years. Just because he's had good games against the worst team in the league and last night's end of season dead rubber should not mean we try to bring him back in my opinion.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Our midfield trio bossed that game last night.

Triantis is a better option than NMW and makes the balance in midfield with Joe Newell a lot better. I thought Campbell was excellent with the engine he has on him constantly harassing the opposition.

[ChuckNor]

Perhaps most surprising was how much better Campbell and co looked compared to Nathan Moriah Welsh. When will the myth that he has been excellent since signing dissipate? He needs to be much better next season. A worrying sign if him and Marcondes are the types we get via Bournemouth.

NMW might turn out to be decent but I've seen very little other than a lively 20 mins in one of his first games. Triantis was doing really well in midfield then he got shunted to CB, made an error and was never seen again.

That's totally where I sit last night was really a dead rubber you need him doing that 10/15 times a season to make a case for being a starter.

[Big90inOz]

Campbell gives us something the other midfielders have been consistently failing at and that is making runs up front which unsettled their defenders. Midfielders have been far to static and staying behind the ball rather than making runs forward of the ball b

I think you’ll find in spells when he’s been injured or not selected to start invariably our results have been worse. Not that he’s the catalyst for wins but he’s definitely the engine room,bit like maeda or Hatate full of running. It draws mistakes puts teams under pressure to make quick decisions with the ball. We do this a lot as hibbys,identify the wrong players who offer little. We spent 300k on Levitt and Campbell is a better option for a starting berth. Gogic was in the building,again not perfect,but fingers pointed out he goes wrong decision. When will we learn?

Gogic would still not play here. He plays quite a specific role at st Mirren that we don't have available.

Campbell will probably be away from what I've heard. Ready for a new start for a few reasons.

CB pretty standard role I thought🤔. You could say he covers two roles DM as well,that would be down to his physical attributes. Surely that would give him more credit in the bank not less.

As of your Campbell exclusive,where you hearing that and who’s paying money? What’s he got 3-4 years left on his contract. Cost a few quid to get him.

A purely no nonsense centre back in a back 3 is quite a specific role, yes. We do not play that way. He isn't very good on the ball, not good enough for a side playing on the front foot imo.

I've just heard the player favours a move elsewhere. Probably abroad.

No idea how much he'd go for. No more than 500k I'd think, but interest from a few clubs could boost that.

Really all depends on Josh and new manager.

[hibee-boys]

If we can get 500k for Josh Campbell that would be a tremendous piece of business but I very much doubt it. Decent back up squad filler given his ability to cover a few positions but 100% not the level of quality we need.

[Broken Gnome]

We'd need to take any offer. I know he's got SOMETHING about him and can give us a better balance, but ultimately he's another in a huge band of midfield/forward players who don't excel at anything in particular.

If we get the chance to free up squad space by actually getting money, rather than pay players off, needs to be taken.

[Donegal Hibby]

His average has been good imo. Not happy because he and the team have underperformed, but Joe has been one of our better players.

Disagree as a captain he lacks leadership and goes missing in far too many games and at 31 he's not getting any better , slows the game down too much and most passes are generally to the sides or back the way .

As a first team player who plays regularly he's one we should be making it our priority in finding a replacement for before the new season starts .

Don't think it would be too hard to find one better either imo .

If we don't though we will go into next season with Newell playing well one week and not knowing he's on the next . Good midfielder with leadership , consistency , drive and abit of steel about them in our midfield would make a massive difference .

He's really been playing better every season for us, so disagree on that point. Been here 5 years and we ain't found anyone better yet.

Dragged us back into our Euro tie in the Faroes or wherever it was. Dragged us back into Kilmarnock game away. Nice assist for equaliser vs Aberdeen away. Brilliant against Luzern.

He's not perfect but a good player at our level. Bin about 15 before him.

You can maybe afford a player who turns up one week and not the next out wide but you can’t afford it in the centre of the park. I don’t think anyone think’s Joe is a bad footballer but he’s not got the attributes if you want to compete week in and week out and challenge at the top.

With him and Triantis we lacked pace and mobility. Campbell made up for that a fair bit but it then left us lacking creativity in the final third and everything positive came through Maolida.

Complete overhaul for midfield please (building round NMW). If we get more energy and creativity in there then I think our defence will get by and we might see if Vente has something about him or not. Midfield is key.

Imo he's not playing better every season and your right on that's part of the problem in we haven't found anyone better though it's long overdue we start looking at getting a midfield that's been failing for 5 years which Newell has been part off .

You mention the games he's been good in which I accept though I haven't got time to list the ones he's either been poor or been missing in .

Your right in he's not perfect and can be good at our level though he's far too inconsistent to be a first team player imo.

Probably need to bin 15 or more players though the priority should be improving the entire squad and imo because he's playing regularly I'd put Newell as one player top of that list .

He’s had 1 decent game since the last international break, I’m not sure how that can be called consistent - certainly not in a positive way.

Rangers away - not good
St Johnstone home - not good
Motherwell away - not good
St Johnstone away - good

Surely to improve the squad the idea should be that guys like Newell become bench players and we sign better to replace him in the starting line up?

If you get rid of Newell and keep the 15 or more that need binned because you put Newell top of the list despite being better than them, then you’re unlikely to get any better.

That’s a nice idea in principle but ignores the fact we are working within a limited budget. If you have bench players on wages commensurate for a starting player then the wage budget isn’t there to bring in a better player to take their starting place.

There lies the problem IMO.

Other teams function better. Individually you wouldn’t take a Hearts midfielder. But they’ve finished 3rd, 4th and 3rd (3rd at a canter twice). Not so much Aberdeen this season but the same would apply to the likes of Killie and St Mirren this season. .

In Newell, we have a player who absolutely everything goes through in the middle of the park. When he has one of his good games, we tend to be good. But when the going gets tough, it’s the total opposite for me.

Hearts finish above us because they have a good defence at this level, and a striker who absolutely bangs them in. It's nowt to do with a functioning midfield in my opinion. They're ***** in the middle of the park. I think they'll be much improved there with Spittal in next season though.

Agreed.

I think if we have a good defence and a more pragmatic approach then Joe Newell is part of a successful team. As he was under Jack Ross.

You'll still get folk moaning then that he doesn't score goals or something. But in an organised team he plays his part.

Although again - let's go find better. I'm all for it..........but only after we sign 3 CBs please.

The guy's averaging 40 games for the last 4 years. Periods when he doesn't start are 2/3 games here and there.

Anyway - I don't think we need to revisit this stuff. My view isn't that far removed from yours. I'd like better but I still think under a good coach, Newell has a part to play.

We need at least 2 new mids, better than we already have, Newell is decent but a squad player. The defence is the main concern with Fish, Hanlon and Stevenson all away and possibly Rocky if he's not happy.

At the moment we need 3 CH's, a LB, 1 DM, 2 wide men and a striker, that's at least 8 players.

I wonder who will be looking at for the number 10 role, no doubt the defence should be number 1 priority but still think we need someone in the final third who can create on a constant basis.

Still relying on our wide men which at times can be easy to play against.

That’s totally subjective. There are a few “not goods” on your list where I’d say the opposite. I often wonder what some folk see at games that make them come to totally different conclusions. I guess we are all looking out for different things

[Donegal Hibby]

Glad your not the manager. Newell at the top of the exit list??
Tell you what, I will bet we bring in much better players next season and Joe is still the top performer.

I normally agree with most of your posts though Newell being a top performer certainly isn't one of them , for every 10 games he plays there is a couple of them he is a top performer though there's plenty of them were he's missing in too. Unfortunately he's just not consistent enough.

Find him infuriating as he slows the game down at times and is similar to Barry Ferguson in he usually passes it to the sides or back the way .

Maybe he would be alright as a backup player though not one that I'd have any faith in changing a game if needed and as a captain I think he's one of the poorest we've had in awhile too .

I'm sorry but I'm just not a Newell fan and see him very much as part of the problem we have with our midfield.

Feel free to list the games he played well in which I have said he was not good.

[tamig]

Disagree as a captain he lacks leadership and goes missing in far too many games and at 31 he's not getting any better , slows the game down too much and most passes are generally to the sides or back the way .

As a first team player who plays regularly he's one we should be making it our priority in finding a replacement for before the new season starts .

Don't think it would be too hard to find one better either imo .

Really? Joe Newell is a quality player. I think the problem we have is he can’t carry the midfield on his own. With different players around him, Joe will more than prove his worth to Hibs. Its the midfield mix we need to get right. Cannot understand why anyone would have him at the top of their exit list. Bizarre. Quite telling that a lot of opposition fans - including OF - seem to rate JN higher than many of our own support do.

Barry Ferguson is one of the best centre mids to play in Scotland in my lifetime. You're mentioning him as if he was a diddy.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I do find it hilarious that you don't rate Newell as a midfielder, but do like Rocky as a centre half though :greengrin

[tamig]

Feel free to list the games he played well in which I have said he was not good.

I’ll give you the last two for a start. Although we were pumped on Sunday he was one of our better performers. Certainly stood out well until they scored. When a team collapses its very simple to tar everyone with the same brush. I think Joe Newell is a frequent target for that from plenty on here.

You would put pur best midfielder at the top of the list to move them on, I actually can't take your post seriously after that part. Maybe get yourself over to ER at some point and watch a game as he has been consistent for a good while now

Wow , sorry A if I hit a nerve there . I know there's a Joe Newell fan club on here and he can't do any wrong though again I don't agree he's consistently good for awhile now , you only have to go back a week or 2 to realise this . Again sorry if I hit a nerve mate though I still think over the course of the season Newell has been one of our most inconsistent players.

If you think his performance against Aberdeen on Sunday was acceptable then the rest of your posts suddenly make a lot more sense. If that really meets the standard expected for a good performance in a Hibs shirt then we really are in trouble.

I never said he was a diddy I said alot of the time his passes were to the sides which Newell does too though he's not as good a player as Ferguson obviously.

Were does mcginn , McGregor stand with you on comparison with Ferguson? .

Newell can be very good , even boarding on brilliant though other times he's not and has some really poor games that's were I am with Newell .

As for your comment about Rocky I do like him I think he's got good character about him which was shown when he done the interview after losing to Aberdeen which I think the captain should have done tbh .

McGinn at his peak is a better player than Ferguson at his peak, but Ferguson in the SPL was probably better than McGinn was in the SPL.

Calum McGregor is class, but Ferguson was definitely better in my opinion.

That's fair enough mate though I'd have both players ahead of Ferguson but that's just my opinion. I'm not Scottish though do 99% of the time hope Scotland win when playing , I do however don't think you would get Mcginn or McGregor acting like this too ..... https://images.app.goo.gl/ePm3mY2mxsN7EKqD8 .

As for Newell I'm just not a fan , I know he can be very good at times though the problem here is while I can accept that the Joe Newell fan club on here can't accept that there is alot of games he's really poor in too .

On Sunday he did his usual. Gave the ball away and was booked trying to recover the ball. All in the space of the first 12 minutes. Ineffective for the next 78.

Go have a look at Aberdeen's first goal & tell me where Joe Newell was and what he was doing...

Not closing down
Not putting his body on the line

[Hibs4185]

If Newell is still the top performer, we’ll be in much the same position.

Exactly. Newell should be a tidy option form the bench to come on and float around.

If he’s our best player, then 9th is what we deserve

[LeithMike]

Everyone is entitled to an opinion, I do find it hilarious that you don't rate Newell as a midfielder, but do like Rocky as a centre half though :greengrin

I rate Rocky as a centre half. I think he’s got all the attributes to be a proper good defender under a good manager. If we can get him jumping better he’ll come good.

Newell though just hasn’t got the attributes to be a centre midfielder in a club challenging at the top. That’s not a criticism of him as I do think he’s a good footballer but he’s not got the discipline to play as a defensive midfielder and struggles to turn in tight spaces which you need to be able to do in that role under pressure. He’s not got the energy, drive or tackling ability to play as an 8 and he just doesn’t have the gyle to play as a 10.

He’s got a languid style and long legs meaning he doesn’t have a low centre of gravity and lunges rather than tackles on his feet. I can see why he was being played on the wing. I don’t think that means he’s lazy - he’s just not what you would want in centre midfield.

It was so refreshing to see NMW coming into the team and running about pressuring the opposition and actually making tackles and winning the ball in the opposition’s half.

We’ve not had the balance right in midfield since McGinn left and that is why we are where we are. Newell is a big part of that. Sometimes you’ve got to take out a good footballer to improve the team.

If we improve our midfield then we’ll see our defending pick up too.

According to this, only 6 players in the SPL have created more big chances than Newell. Only 10 players have more assists. He's 15th for accurate passes in the league. 23rd for tackles.

He's absolutely got the attributes required.

Are you saying you thought he was good on Sunday or just the best of a bad bunch? (Low bar)

He, again, got himself stupidly booked on 13 minutes after losing the ball and having to foul the guy on the break. After that he couldn’t and didn’t get near anybody for the rest of the afternoon

I’ll go against the grain with Newell and say he’s pretty consistent.

I don’t think he’s consistently good, I don’t think he’s consistently bad, I think he’s consistently somewhere in the middle. When he’s good, he’s very good. When he’s bad, he totally disappears.

He rarely misses a game but when he does, we don’t really suffer for it. I don’t think we’d particularly suffer as a team if he was away.

I’m not keen on stats in isolation. For example is big chances created from open play or does it include set pieces which then isn’t a fair comparison with those who don’t take set pieces.

The stats also say that Fish & Rocky make more accurate passes than Newell, with Fish our best accurate long passer so it’s not just 5 yard passes into midfield all the time. I’d not argue Fish & Rocky are better passers of the ball than Newell despite that stat. Or point to the stat that says Newell is 42nd worst in the league for losing possession. Only losing possession 0.3 times less than the Ross County keeper Laidlaw as another example.

Stats can generally be selected to paint whatever picture, be it positive or negative, is desired. My post is a general moan about stats, I have no real opinion on Newell 😀

Signing him should be our number one priority. Don’t think it’s a push to say that he was our best player since he joined. In a summer where the squad is going to change a lot, a little bit consistently is important and having him in what should hopefully be a much better squad, under a much better manager could see him being our best signing since McGinn. He won’t come cheap but it if he performs the way he has been, let alone better, he will be worth the investment on the field and off it when he moves on for big £.

Thanks for posting. Confident in possession, good passing ability, getting involved in the opposition box and tracking back to cover in our box. He will only get better with more game time. I have heard people calling for a proper box to box midfielder for a long time now. We should do everything we can to get him on a permanent.

Good loan spell but at a pretty poor level.

Would be a decent enough player if he wasn’t so afraid to get stuck in. Hopefully one we’re looking to move on this summer. Should have interest in him I’d imagine

I was hoping he had done well enough to maybe gain some interest from other clubs in Belgium.

Henderson will probably look good in pre season and be a big help to Vente with creating him chances.

One thing Henderson can do is see and execute a pass

Hopefully he’s improved alot as there was a spell he looked miles off it.

Haha aye, the ball was played out wide to him unmarked and I said ‘that’s fine, let him have the ball’ he shanked it way wide out for a goal kick.

Maybe just had a bad game but it wasn’t pretty!
