Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[SHODAN]

Heard a rumour today Hibs putting together a deal to try and bring back Kevin Nisbet.

That would be ok.

[Unseen work]

Can’t imagine Nisbet coming back permanently due to the wage he’ll be on.

Notice he’s getting a lot of stick on social media for being overweight

[Vault Boy]

IIRC the overweight tag was used against him by Hearts fans and the like when he was at Hibs. I remember he had done a lot of work with a PT (perhaps his brother?) before signing for us, with the progress pictures putting that label to shame.

No idea what condition he's in now, mind.

Yeah his brother is a PT.

I never thought he was overweight, there was definetley times he looked a lot fitter,stronger and leaner imo though

Think the best was when he first joined and then his last 6 months when he came back from injury.

Incidentally those as probably his best two spells with us.

[J-C]

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

Did Gray not say one or two payers were late in coming back to training, so are a bit behind others.

[JohnM1875]

He came back from injury in unbelievable shape! Looked quite tanky.

He'd be best striker out with Celtic if he came back up the road. Providing he's actually fit enough to play obviously.

Depends if we get the hungry goal scoring Nisbet, or the moaning faced can't be arsed Nisbet.

He looked like a different player during those spells to the one he was the rest of the time.

I’d take a fit Nisbet back. A Nisbet looking to take a season to get fit (a bit like James Scott) can bolt.

I wasn’t a huge fan but there was no denying he was an excellent player when fit and in the mood.

[K-Zazu]

Would take Nisbet back, anyone a bit surprised we haven’t been linked with any Bournemouth players?

[JohnM1875]

Depends if we get the hungry goal scoring Nisbet, or the moaning faced can't be arsed Nisbet.

World cup coming up, it'd be the hungry goal scoring Nisbet.

[Donegal Hibby]

Nisbet and Vente pairing wouldn't be half bad :greengrin

[gbhibby]

Thought it was Josh Nisbet we were being linked with but wouldn't mind a fit Kevin Nisbet as well.

Josh Nisbet would provide the creativity in midfield we desire.

There was a time in the second half yesterday when our midfield seemed to be taking a breather where I thought he would have taken over perfectly.

[PHeffernan]

Almost as much chance of getting Kevin as Rab C although it would be a relief that many of our supporters would be able to spell Rab's surname correctly from Kevin's spell here.

I thought he was a good player for Hibs - and at least he's Scottish.

It's almost like Hibs don't care about the Scotland team..............

There needs to be a big focus on getting Scottish players in the top teams - or we just accept that qualification to tournaments is as good as it gets. All these Euros have proved is that Scotland are good at drinking - why not try and take the next step - become a sporting country. And Hibs have a place in that.

What a load of rubbish. Hibs have a responsibility to Hibs and that’s it.

Arguably our best player is Scottish, didn’t get picked by Scotland, and now flies all over the world representing another country as a result. We also started with three other Scottish players yesterday, two from our own academy.

Couldn't give a rats hairy asshole about Scotland. Hibs first. Sign the best players we can.

[weecounty hibby]

I'd have him back in a heartbeat. He has something to prove, he will want to get into the Scotland squad as well. Get him back and scoring goals alongside Vente

A heartbeat is how quickly he would want to leave if he was doing well by Christmas.

Gray appears to me to be building a team, and we dont want a disruptive influence who downs tools at the first opportunity.

In summary, a decent enough striker but a crap attitude.

All about opinions. I never thought his attitude was as bad as was made out. Players move all the time, especially strikers who score goals.

There’s getting moves then there’s players pushing for moves after 6 months

[HibsGW]

He’d only be angling for a move if he comes back and scores loads of goals, in which case, great, we’d have signed someone scoring goals.

I wouldn't have a problem with that in all honesty, if he was to bang goals in and attract another million plus then it would be win win.

[The Modfather]

Genuine question, what’s the difference between Hibs looking to freeze ALF out if he didn’t change his contract and Nisbet looking to force a move away? The general consensus seems to be it’s fine what Hibs did but Nisbet is the villian for what he did.

I’m surprised people think like that - I think the Scottish teams should support the national team. English football will get a massive boost from these Euros - the clubs and the country will benefit.

I think Hibs do have a bigger responsibility - then again, I wouldn’t allow the promotion of gambling and alcohol if I was running the club so I’m obviously out of step with the club on other matters as well!

Nonsense. Hibs will always try and get the best players available/possible. If they are Scottish...great if not...tough. You think the best clubs in the world choose their players because of their nationality, no, they are chosen because they are the best players. It's up to young Scottish players to be good enough to play for the 'top' teams.

I’d imagine Hibs (and other clubs) take pride in seeing players get called up for Scotland, but it won’t be a high priority for them. And equally, if Hibs aren’t having a good season but do have a player getting into the Scotland squad, it’s not going to save a manager from the sack (for example, porteous getting into Scotland squads and teams, but at the same time, Hibs weren’t playing well and managers lost their jobs).

We’ve seen criticism (correctly) of club higher-ups apparently getting involved in which players are getting picked, so we can’t expect the club to be pushing managers to pick certain players just because they’re Scottish.

It’s not about good guy vs villain. We are Hibs fans, not fans of individual players like those weird Ronaldo fans, therefore want what’s best for the club over individual players.

Not triggering ALFs year extension = good for Hibs.
A player who’s performing well and wanting away from the club after 6 months = bad for Hibs.

Both were contractually legal but morally a little wrong but it’s what’s best for Hibs that matters at the end of the day.

This situation obviously changes slightly if we were to screw over a club legend in some way.

[Eyrie]

Hibs academy is full of young Scottish players. It would be great if we had more of them develop to a level where they are first team regulars and fantastic if they develop to a level where they play internationally. That way we have a great player who cost nothing and who we can expect a large fee for when the inevitable happens and a richer club wants them.

However Hibs focus must always be on having a strong Hibs team, so if our own youths aren't at the level required then we need to look elsewhere, whether that is in Scotland or further afield.

Porteous playing for Scotland at the Euros was no consolation for a bottom six finish.

[degenerated]

Are teams in the English Premier League full of English players?Not really but they do more than most I think with their maximum number of non homegrown players in squads.

I don't think the Scottish and English leagues are in any way comparable.

The English system seems to work for them - but it's not what Scotland should be trying to replicate. Scotland needs to find another way - getting the teams to buy into Scottish players might help things - getting away from a reliance on alcohol and gambling might be a good thing.

Well unfortunately whatever they're doing now doesn't seem to be working very well! Maybe try something different - long term investment might produce a good team in the future? I'd try and get the government involved in trying to promote a healthier society - football clubs in Scotland do have a voice - they just don't use it for anything other than worrying about next weeks result. That might not be David Grays main priority, but that's what I would expect the management / administrative side of the club to be pushing for.

I’m no really sure reducing the money coming in to the game in terms of sponsorship would help.

Teams buy in to the best available players they can, regardless of nationality. Whether we can properly nurture ability is a different question.

Dis Naismith not say something about his during a game.

It was the postponed semi final when he missed a Pen right after his dad had passed away. Either at the game or afterwards Naismith showed his true class by saying “you couldn’t even score it for your dad”.

Nisbet when scoring winner in derby at ER a couple of season back ran up to Hearts bench to give it a GIRUY to Naismith.

Are we sure that's what he said? Not for me to stick up for Naismith but I know Nisbet said he made some kind of reference to his dad but I don't think he actually confirmed what was said.

If that was actually said I can't imagine Nisbet or the club wouldn't have been more vociferous in mentioning it afterwards.

Was it not before he took the penalty rather than after he missed? Unless Nisbet ever confirms it's all guesswork but it could easily have been something along the lines of "score for your dad" which would obviously have been meant to get in his head before the pen.

Still wrong to bring it up but not quite as bad as has been mentioned above.

English grass roots footy is awash with cash in a way that Scottish football isn’t. Over the last 20 years the quality of coaching and facilities they have down there has massively pulled away from what we have. And it’s starting to show.

I think Cabraja lost his dad to when at us , fans seem to forget sometimes football players are just human beings like the rest of us .

As to Kevin Nisbet didn't he scored something like 12 goals in around 20 games in his last season for us?.

Yip 12 in 21 a more than decent return.

He never tried a leg . We have all had loved ones passing away . We wouldn’t have been allowed not not try at work . As harsh as that sounds .

For the majority of his time at ER his attitude stunk . Always trying to move on

If my family or a close friend passed, I wouldn't be at work for weeks and wouldn't give a **** about the consequences tbh.

Playing games immediately after a parent passing is a brilliant attitude.

Get a bit of perspective eh.

It certainly is . I'd take him back in a heartbeat myself . Might be abit of a controversial opinion but I think he's a better all round striker than Shankland.

I disagree with that. Shankland has the ability to score goals even when he’s not playing well. When Nesbitt is off form the goals dry up.

I don’t think the issue here is that he wasn’t himself after his father’s death which would be completely understandable.

He came to is with an attitude issue having seemingly held him back from reaching his potential, he then threw a hissy fit when we never entertained an offer from Birmingham after just 6 months, and he’s not impressed at Millwall despite having the ability to succeed there.

He can join the long list of Hibs forwards like O’connor, Riordan and Griffiths who done alright themselves due to natural ability but could have been so much more if they had a good attitude and work ethic.

39 goals in 101 appearances over four seasons was very good

In his last season when he was focused on a move he looked the real deal the guy was on fire could not fault him or his attitude was miles ahead of Shankland

Made it clear after about six months that he was itching to get away to make up for lost time which was not a good look to us hibbies

Forgave him right away when he missed that pen versus Hearts at Hampden it is not easy losing your Dad should never have been put in that position

Would take him back in a heart beat but only if he is focused and wants to be here

This isn’t the dark ages anymore, you might want to catch up to 2024.

[Ozyhibby]

Nisbet is a good player but injury problems are an issue. Has had injury problems everywhere he has played. Has to be factored into the amount we are paying him as he is likely to be only fit for 50-60% of games and that is unlikely to improve with age.
Not worried about attitude because Gray will know him better than we do.

[007]

I’m surprised people think like that - I think the Scottish teams should support the national team. English football will get a massive boost from these Euros - the clubs and the country will benefit.

I think Hibs do have a bigger responsibility - then again, I wouldn’t allow the promotion of gambling and alcohol if I was running the club so I’m obviously out of step with the club on other matters as well!


I don't think the Scottish and English leagues are in any way comparable.

The English system seems to work for them - but it's not what Scotland should be trying to replicate. Scotland needs to find another way - getting the teams to buy into Scottish players might help things - getting away from a reliance on alcohol and gambling might be a good thing.

[J-C]

Pretty sure Nisbet was offered compassionate leave but chose to carry on playing, his father's passing was out of the blue, so would've hit him hard. His attitude wasn't great either after he didn't get his move after 6 months being here , then got injured and had a pretty decent spell before he finally moved.

Do you not have to split the revenue with teams in the cup?

If Hibs gave out around 9000 free tickets to two homes games to season ticket holders then that would be 18000 tickets at at least £10 a pop. We’d have to give at least £5 per ticket to the away team, which would be nearly £100k we’d have to cough up out our pocket and we’d also instantly lose around £100k of revenue on top of that. And those figures are generous, it would likely be worse.

Holidays, on TV, apathy from some after last season, price point. It was always a hard ask to sell tickets. I haven't sent Hibs push this game much though.

Can we do worse yes, can we sign a lot better, absolutely

[Donegal Hibby]

I think we probably did enquire about Murray though ( only guessing) wasn't worth what they were looking for him and the length of contract Dundee were prepared to offer him .

The Lacovitti rumour , like the Robertson one I don't believe there was any truth in . We did dismiss the Robertson one as a player we weren't after too which was lucky as he now has a hamstring injury I read .

[Donegal Hibby]

Glad to hear Grays at the heart of the recruitment , he needs to be . More outgoings and a mention of at least one attacker coming in too .

That's Sir David Gray talking if you don't mind. Nothing he ever says could possibly be pointless.

Indeed

I was glad to hear he's involved in the recruitment side of things as I'm not so sure past managers were at times .

Also after seeing the bench against Elgin I noticed our only real attacking option on it was Jair , the mention of " at least one attacker " might hopefully mean two coming in possibly.

This sort of signing stinks of him either having a wonder season and moving away from United after the one year or making a handful of sub appearances before slinking off into obscurity.

Motherwell confirm Bair is away

Theo Bair has joined Ligue 1 side AJ Auxerre for an undisclosed fee.

We thank Theo for everything and wish him the very best going forward.

£1.4m apparently. Frightening really. What chance have we got when players like him are going for that amount.

He'll be available on loan by next summer after 1 or 2 goals max.

And some of our own fans suggesting we wouldn't get that for Ellie? Wild. Easily 2.5m if they are getting 1.4m

In today’s market we should be holding out for 4million. These players like youan are hard to come by. Players wanting a move changes the landscape slightly but it’s a huge gamble for player and agent when you have two years worth of contract to navigate.

Yeah I think he will really struggle in a league of that standard. Whenever I've seen him he looks an awful footballer. Good goal scoring record last season though.

Every chance.

We just need to do what they're doing only better, with our bigger budget, and we'll reap greater rewards.

It's inspirational. They've taken a player stinking out St Johnstone and turned him into a £1.4m player (if true). Shows what can be done if you spot a bit of talent and hone it.

Fair play to them.

I don’t think the question was how do we compete with Motherwell, but rather how do we compete with clubs outwith Scotland financially when a newly promoted French team can spend double our record transfer to sign a player I potentially wouldn’t even want at Hibs for 1/3rd of that amount.

Sure, but my point is more that we embrace the nature of being a selling club, and that this represents opportunity more than it does threat.

We just need to be the right sort of environment to improve players - which we haven't really been over the past 5 years.

Not sure it's that simple. Bair scored 15 goals in the league last season and 6 assists, 21 direct goal contributions.

Youan scored 4 and 8 assists, so almost 50% less goal contributions.

[EGL2000]

Cammy kerr moves to Queens park, decent signing for them. Might go straight into there team for tonight.

[cubehindthegoal]

We need better - at same reckon Dundee and St Mirren will be hard to play against this season.

Anyone got an updated listed of transfers in the league? Hibs signed the fewest players?

Possibly low down the list of players signed (to date), but I’d guess high up on the list of squad size still. I hope - and expect - to see improvement this season, but can’t help feeling it’s next summer when we start to really motor. For now, I’m happy how SDG is doing. Decided to head along tonight too, wasn’t going to as felt the general apathy, but I actually think could be a good game … both teams banging in some pre-season goals (hopefully we get more than them tonight though!), and another good test for our new defence … I hope we start our strongest team, I think he will…

[Smartie]

True.

But their recruitment was prior to the 5 year window I'd earmarked.

We've not really been signing players, making them better and selling them on for profit for a while.

Youan - we may make a profit on him but I don't really feel like we've improved him any. Melkersen - we may have done ok out of his transfer but I didn't feel like he kicked on with us and we got a bit lucky finding someone to give us what they did for him.

Hopefully all about to change and fwiw I actually have a reasonable amount of hope and expectation that it will with MacKay and Gray.

Bair also has different physical attributes that Youan doesn’t have.

Motherwell data guys/scouts brought in Biereth and Bair in the same window I think. Credit to them. Bair is a great example that players can develop later with the right support around them

Theo Bair took until January before he hit any kind of form. Elie Youan was stuck playing in a team managed by a complete failure, who had no idea what he was doing and who was expecting him to track midfield runners in the later stages of games we were struggling in.

Youan over Bair every single day. Always.
