Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[MWHIBBIES]

Naw cause they wouldn’t have purely looked at other targets if it didn’t fit the 32 is too old for a 3yr deal criteria. You got over Campbell being one of our main midfielders this season yet?

I've no idea what you mean by that first sentence.

I've no problem with Josh Campbell being one of our main midfielders. Hope he does well.

Weird post.

He'll easily get club down south I reckon. Like Greg Docherty might need to drop a level but even then, they'll still be paying more than us.

I was just thinking about him today but would imagine his wage demands would be on the high side. I don't know why it didn't work out for him at Millwall as he looked good in a promotion winning Luton team. You would imagine a championship club would be interested.

[04Sauzee]

Is Bevan still likely to be a Hibs target? I think he's right sided and we are well covered in that position now.

[Sheffhibee]

MacLaren would be useless unless we got another big striker next to him and got us playing to him.

Lethal in the box, but his build up play and work out of the box was non existent

Was a weird one how little he played when he came back the second time

If I remember correctly he was suffering with a back injury and Lennon kept playing him regardless, a decent midfield behind him and he would bag us a decent amount of goals.
Certainly knows where the goals are !

[1875Sean]

No number for Ewan Henderson.

Surely his departure is imminent

Shame the same couldn’t be said for JDH

[MWHIBBIES]

We've no idea really. Has been absolutely nothing other than fans linking us with him since he left I don't think.

Who was thon French guy we gave a contract to at age 34 in the late 90s - whatever happened to him [emoji2960]Theres a more than just a wee bit of a difference between a guy who won the European cup and captained France to someone who was previously let go and played for Arbroath queens park and Ross county.

Much as though Simon Murray seems a nice guy I think it's fair to say that skill and ability definitely trumps enthusiasm.

[AlbertK86]

Ndaba seems the obvious shout given he’s the only one recently linked. Definitely need another left back

We need to develop the guy after sinking 700k into him.
I think we would be doing well to get 200k back on Vente as things stand at the moment.

I just don't see it with him, another howler from the recruitment team, looks slow, weak, like he's never going to score. Sometimes better to take something and cut your losses, could have bought Murray for what we sold vente for and that's guaranteed goals.

Would love Vente to start scoring for fun this season. His highlight reel in Holland shows a complete variety of goals and quite a few headed goals.

Two central midfielders in there, can’t see either of those happening when we have the amount of central midfielders that we do.

Regardless of what any of us think of them, Newell, NMW, Campbell, Levitt and Amos will be expecting first team football and their wages will reflect that. On top of that we also have JDH if he ever becomes fit again.

If we had the option if releasing two of the above and replacing them with your two, I’d do it in a second but that’s not likely to happen with them being under contract. No way we’ll go into next season with 7 or 8 first team level midfielders.

Add Kenneth and Delferriere who play there, prob need to get at least 3 off the books before any others come in that position, need to look at getting another striker in, winger and left back first

Campbell not good enough for Celgers if he couldn't get a game for Millwall last season.
An English 3rd tier team will give him 6k a week to do his thing.

[CentreLine]

We should be, but would it surprise me if we made an absolute mess of it?

Absolutely not.

Our problem, for several seasons, has been our inability to do the simple stuff in defence. We seem to make more chances than most teams with the existing squad, if our new defenders plug the gaps this could be a much more fruitful season and still plenty of the transfer window left.
How’s that for a positive post? 😁

Comes back to what folks opinion of a ‘high end’ signing is I suppose. Maolida turned out to be one but he’d been playing in the fourth tier of German football

Hearts have 15k season tickets sold, they’ve been getting millions every year from a benefactor, but their summer business still consists of players from Livingston, Ross County and Motherwell with a couple of other randoms chucked in.

We need to get the finger out and start getting bodies in the door but I can’t see any drastic change in where we’re shopping. Additional money should obviously give us a better chance of getting certain players if we’re up against certain teams though.

[WestStandWillie]

The current squad should be more than capable of beating the 4 teams in our LC group.

The crucial part of the recruitment was getting two capable CH's in - we got that.

If we have to wait another week or so for more bodies then i'm not overly annoyed at that.

Maybe someone at the club could have thought it’s maybe a good idea to have a CF signed in time for our first competitive game?

Given how piss easy the group is, that same CF might be able to bag a few goals and let their team mates get used to playing with them, or maybe that’s too much like forward planning for those running our club?

Definitely need a good striker. But Vente, Boyle and Youan can all play up top and will be more than enough to get us past Elgin. McKirdy can play there as well but has barely had any game time so can't see him playing.

Absolutely need some proper competition/a starter up top though, an actual striker and not just a winger who can play as a striker.

More important we get the right players in than just signing people in time to play Elgin.

Wonder who folk would deem to be recent high end signings for us, Hearts and Aberdeen?

Marcondes would probably be ours and he was so average. Hearts could maybe point to Shankland, after that it would probably be Whelan and he was garbage. Aberdeen, I can’t even think who would have been a high end signing for them in a long, long time.

Teams at our level just don’t really make ‘marquee signings’. We don’t have the money for it.

You have given one possible pro to getting a new striker in early. Said striker could also get injured playing against cloggers on a tattie field?

Another way to spin the story is - given how easy the group is, McKirdy scores a hat-trick. An English league one side see this, and pay money to take him off our hands. This frees up a wage to put toward this high end signing everyone seems to want.

Surely showcasing the available assets in their best light would also be a good plan?

How about we identify who it is we need and go get them. You’re not telling me every player we’ve identified won’t be available until later in the window.

We’re always slow in signing players and underprepared. Then we’ll be talking in September/october about how players need time to settle while we go on to have yet another crap season.

So far nothing has changed.

Ignoring the fact we have signed 3 players already of course 😁

No, we’ve signed 3 players evidently some of the players we’ve wanted have been available and we’ve got them.

There’s a lot more to signing players than identifying the ones you want then just going out and signing them though I’m sure you actually know that.

Reasons for the lack of signings:
1) We sacked the manager (like we do every year). New man in with new ideas, so all that scouting based on the old guys ideas that was done in the last 6 months probably went out the window. Basically the scouting will have re-started with a new brief, the day DG was hired.
2) We lost some key positions - goalkeeper,defenders - these were found and brought in pretty quickly, but focus was (rightly) there before going to Holland.
3) Ignoring whether we do or do not have money to spend, we had a massively bloated squad - needed to shift a lot of useless wages and this has happened, but takes the managers attention away from the recruitment.
4) Training camp in Holland - it is rare for a manager to make signings when they are not in the country. Training camps are good, but like everything come with compromises.
5) Players make decisions to come or not based on a bunch of things - football is wierd, players don't send you their CV, come for a single interview and get offered a job on the spot. Some are in demand and want to check out other offers, some have family commitments, some would sooner go to Dundee because they support them. Sometimes these things take time. It's not that players aren't available, they are often just weighing up the options and will hopefully come good soon.
5) DG has been back in Edinburgh 5 days now - pretty sure he will be working on a few deals, but these things take time.

Sure there's a bunch of others, but personally won't be panicing for a week or two.

With Newell def staying we def need improvements in the midfield to play alongside him. He was best for us when he had Gogic covering for him and we haven’t had a midfielder like that since. We also need a busy midfielder like Irvine as well.

Think that'll change this season. In one of the early pre season camp videos we were doing a drill and Newell was in the middle. Basically he was the free man and his job was to take the ball, turn and play it to a team mate It started off pretty slow the first few times, SDG spotted this and asked Newell to be quicker and then said he was only allowed two touches.

Really looking forward to how it looks like we'll play under Gray.

Maybe he just signed it. Nobody on here said he signed it a while ago and this place is teeming with desperados who are desperate to be seen as in the know.

[Hibees1973]

Delighted Joe has signed on for another 3 years.

Can count on one hand the other players we currently have who are as good/better than him.

He has his critics, which is fair enough but we have very few players with the technical ability Joe has. He doesn't hide, always looks for the ball, is fit and rarely injured.

He has weak points, for example a lack of pace, but if he had pace he would be playing at a higher level.

We had our best results, sure. That is not Newells best season for Hibs, though. He was better in both the last 2 than he was in 20/21.

If anything, Newell was covering for Gogic.

Agree with the OP that Newell slowed the game down to much at times , hopefully after seeing the camp video that you mention it will change .

Agree, a lot of people forgetting we have these two as well as Levitt who has loads to prove this season!

NMW I think will be a great player for Hibs, he’s so busy and I think given more experience he will only get better with the ball.

Levitt has talent, just needs to make proper use of it and itll be interesting to see how he gets on, especially now with a captain who plays a similar position and likely has gone through the same tough spells as himself.

I’m feeling positive for next year, sick of going in negatively 😂

He’s one I’d be sceptical of.

At StJohnstone he was horrendous. I was actually stunned he got a move to Motherwell and then he went on a brilliant streak.

I don’t know if it’s luck or if he has just genuinely improved under good coaching (he’s credited Kettlewell re this)

But it’s another where the amount Motherwell would want for him would far exceed what we’d be willing to pay

I can understand why ...

Because of his time at St Johnstone though he's looked IMO a really good player , who's a handful for any defence.

Your probably right about the amount we would be willing to pay , though if Youan was sold for near 3 mill and bairs contract running out in 2025 .

I think he wouldn't be a bad option to try and get .

Think Biereth joined Strum Graz for about 4 mill btw .

[ChilliEater]

Motherwell seem to be really good at getting the best out of big strikers who look quite limited - Bair, Van Veen, Curtis Main, Lewis Moult.... probably a few more too. I'm not sure we ever do - Mixu maybe? - but he had done well enough everywhere else he'd been to suggest that he was a bit better quality than that.

He didn’t even do well for the whole of last season, only the second half. By Christmas he had 2 in 20 games. He’d even been out scored by Vente!

I’m kinda hoping there are a few quality gems come our way in the next few weeks.
Whatwith the Euros being on there has been a serious lack of investment from the top clubs in the EPL for example so once that happens I’d expect other players to become available such as your Maolidas and Marcondes type guys as they become surplus to requirement.

His stats were definitely good last season in the league.

Miovski 16 goals 2 assists 197 minutes per goal

Bair 15 goals 6 assists 177 minutes per goal

Murray 14 goals 4 assists 211 minutes per goal

Not sure what Miovski's goal scoring record was like before Aberdeen? Aberdeen fans are wanting about 8m for him.

Bair looked awful for St J but the whole team was rotten. Can't remember Bair last season other than that goal he scored at ER, just saying his stats last season looks decent.

There’s no comparison with Bair and Miovski in my opinion. Miovski miles the better player. You don’t need stats to see that, just watch them.

Miovski scored 10 in 31 for MTK in the Hungarian top flight the season before moving to Aberdeen, and got the assist for North Macedonia when they beat Italy 1-0.

Zac Rudden signs for Queen's Park

[Souter96Mac]

Bair looked dreadful at St J, but I was impressed with him last season. Think he would provide us with something different to what we have/don't have. A big powerful forward.

Should we be trying for this guy or is he out of our range now ?

Another one we missed out on = any player who signs for anyone except Hibs

[JohnM1875]

Is the chat not the huns are after Bair?

Had a good season last year and is a good age. Definitely be happy if we signed him.

I suspect it is us who are actively trying to create a market to sell him. He is never worth any of the figures I’ve seen quoted this summer.

Yet the fee we got for Melkersen was reported to be around £1m.

[Smartie]

I don’t think I believe much that comes out of the club about transfers beyond the bits and pieces where there are pictures of players with scarves above heads.

What we pay or receive for players may at some point be possible to be figured out from numbers in our accounts, but “£1m received for Melkersen” and “clubs interested in Youan for £2m” just sound like folk at the club with a track record of appalling recruitment business buttering us up with drivel to keep us happier than we might be if we knew the real facts.

Our next accounts will be very interesting tbh. We’ve sold Nisbet and Doig over the past couple of summers. It’ll be interesting to see the ongoing sums that are presumably trickling in for them as there didn’t seem to be much of an initial down payment for either.

The Gordon era has been characterised by eyebrow-raising proclamations from the club that leave me initially thinking “aye, right”.

[PHeffernan]

Stromgodset said they payed much less.
1 million is the headline figure with the possible add ons already added on.

To be honest absolutely no idea haha. Though a guy in the comments just saying Sunderland are playing another game today and anyone not featuring just now will likely be playing the second game.

Probably not the most popular opinion though I'd love to see Triantis back at Hibs.

I liked him as well, as a midfielder. Just don't think he's what we need right now. Need creativity added to our midfield.

That’s a big loss for them, he was excellent during their good run last season.

Ironically Cochrane was the only player that ended up moving to Edinburgh following Graeme Mathie’s Brighton link-up.

He was one of the two changes that Gray done when he took over from Monty. As a midfielder I think he looked good and has plenty of potential to get even better .

Your point about he's not what we need right now and it's creativity we need is a fair one though.

Gain on sale of players for 2021/22 was £2.1m and 2022/23 was £3.2m. That will probably be paid in instalments, but it will be paid unless the buying clubs default. Any conditional add-ons will show in future accounts. As I said earlier in the thread the headline amount that buying club pays is always a fair bit more than the selling club receives.

As a buying club I'd be put off by his type of behaviour.

As a selling club it must reduce the potential fee you could get.

I think Aberdeen needs to get him out and get him out quick.

So to clarify - these transfer fees have already been accounted for, albeit the actual instalments may arrive later? Will it only be add ons that appear in subsequent accounts if clause conditions are met?

Formal proposal accepted, five year deal for Onana at Villa valid until June 2029.

Medical being booked then deal set to be signed next week.

Replacement for Luiz that. McGinn will still be a mainstay in that team next season.

Contracted until 2027. Even a fee much smaller than what was being rumoured a few years ago, £15 million or so next season would be great business for us.

Henderson doesn’t feature in the squad list issued a couple of days ago. The other two do. Suggests to me that Hendo’s departure has been confirmed.

[Onceinawhile]

Kenneh and Harbottle were on the bench, so I'm not convinced they're necessarily away.

[JohnM1875]

Kenneh and Harbottle were on the bench, so I'm not convinced they're necessarily away.

Think both will end up leaving though. Not the type of players to sit on a bench and not play, both have shown that by being willing to go out on loan last season.

[Paul1642]

Kenneh and Harbottle were on the bench, so I'm not convinced they're necessarily away.

Im not part of the clean slate brigade but I’ve not entirely written Harbottle off. I have no idea what happened behind the scenes last year but to sign for us then not be given any real opportunity that I can remember was weird. Gray will have seen enough of him to know if he’s better than Rocky or not.

[AlbertK86]

Probably not the most popular opinion though I'd love to see Triantis back at Hibs.

Likewise. Him, Newell and McCowan would be a great midfield trio

Think Rocky too.

He’ll see the two we’ve brought in and the fact miller is also playing in the back 3 ahead of him.

I think he’s a stage where he will want to play every week and not accept the bench.

Think he’d find a new club easy enough. Makes mistakes but he also does a lot well, would be a good signing for a lot of teams down south

[Hibees1973]

On loan or permanent

Don't know the full details, just a rumour.

But I believe Millwall still owe Hibs a chunk of the initial transfer fee which may smooth the wheels to get the deal done.

[JohnM1875]

On loan or permanent

2 year left on his Millwall deal, have to be a loan if anything you'd imagine.
