Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[flash]

No, but would you really be surprised?

I would yes. Not convinced either Edinburgh club are in for him.

[AlbertK86]

I’m not in the slightest bit arsed about Hibs not being in for Ndaba. He wouldn’t even start for us.

Fully expect people to be raging we “missed out” on him though.

Think he would in a back three

Well according to what I’ve seen we were definitely interested in Ndaba

[AlbertK86]

Would love to see Owen beck in at Hibs, left back I know but superb for Dundee last year.

Absolutely would. Could play LB and let Obita further forward as well. Especially with Youan likely to be sold and McKirdy/Jair as the other option.

He'd get plenty game time here I reckon if we were interested.

We’ll no be playing a back 3.

[Hibees1973]

Any kind of coherent plan with the Black Knights is out of the window now after Foley's comments. All I'm expecting now are a couple of journeyman signings, players with a suspect injury record and inexperienced players who have only played a handful of games at a low level.

Well, aye. If we ‘need to’ we’ll play players in other positions.

We’ll no be making plans for Obita playing at left mid. I really hope not anyway. He’s not a left mid.

Started with a back three v Elgin

Changed to a four when Cadden got injured.

We don’t have the right players for 3 at the back. If we go out and sign a big striker, and a creative midfielder, then fair enough.

Until then, 3 at the back would be a jumble of players not suited to it. I cannae see it.

[Wilson]

Know it's not concrete but possibly losing out on players to Dundee & Kilmarnock is not a good look.

It is tough isn't it? If you go for one player who wants to sign for nobody other than Dundee there isn't much you can do. The only thing Killie have to offer greater than hibs is European football. It would be short sighted of a player to sign for Killie because of that but can we convince them? If not then that is the price of abject failure last season.

Or maybe Killie offered him regular football, when we didn’t, and at a club he enjoyed playing at and gets along with the players and likes the manager.

Cadden and Obita are possibly better as wing backs than fullbacks, therefore we're arguably closer to being able to do justice to 3 at the back than 4.

3 at the back doesn't get the best out of Boyle but it does give us an option to get 2 strikers on.

I probably agree that we need to sign a big striker and a creative midfielder irrespective of how we want to line up.

Any line-up we select right now is a player or two off being right, arguably still a bit of a jumble somewhere on the park.

I don’t think 3 at the back gets the best out of anyone we have in an attacking sense. Boyle and Youan are wasted. Newell would get plenty of the ball, but there would be nobody in the hole looking to make anything happen. We’d end up swinging balls in to Vente hoping he’s strong enough to beat guys a foot taller than him to headers.

Seen him tweet it and had a feeling he was EEN but couldn't see it in his bio. Maybe after today's events Hibs are trying to make it known he's not one we are actively pursuing. Who knows.

[IberianHibernian]

So who was Penrice signed to replace?Cochrane . I suppose their recruitment team will be getting pelters as soon as they start dropping points . Maybe already after losing friendlies if Penrice is playing .

Im actually surprised we never got a striker after GK, and two CBs, I understand things can take time but we need a striker who's going to score at least 10 league goals.

I don't remember us ever losing out on targets to the likes of Dundee and Kilmarnock before. Not saying it's never happened but feels like a new low. I can't be alone in thinking that we would be looking at a higher calibre of player in this window. The current regime absolutely excel in raising expectations and falling way short.

Has that actually happened this window?

Even if we did ask about Murray it's been explained at length by the player himself why he went to Dundee.

As for Ndaba if he did choose Killie over us then it's hardly the shock of the century as he has just had a good season there and knows how things work.

Pretty sure we will have signed players that might have been offered a wee bit more elsewhere for much the same reasons in the past.

Anyway we don't even know the inside story of either player's choice or decision.

Do The Rangers have any money?

[WestStandWillie]

I honestly can't believe players would pick Dundee and even Kilmarnock over Hibs, crazy. If we have a shocking start to the season and aren't in European places by Christmas I honestly it will get nasty.Why not? Anyone on the outside looking in can see we've been a bit of a car crash in recent times. A large portion of our support turn on players very quickly. We've appointed a manager that the press love to refer to as "rookie" in every article (yes, he's that but why the constant need to use that word? Hibs Observer is really bad for it).

[theonlywayisup]

[TrinityHFC]

Do Hibs?In terms of having little to no debt and cash in the business then yes, we are probably in the best shape we’ve ever been in taking into account we’ve already made a lot of changes to the stadium. Does that mean we will be spending it all on players? Probably not, at the AGM they explained the capital projects that remain to do. Spending on players also doesn’t just mean paying fees - even moderate increases to annual budget on wages and signing fees could see a lot of that go. £3m for example is something like 5 players on 3 year deals on less than £4k per week with no fee paid.

All those lovely facilities with no one to use them, sounds like a masterplan.

Meanwhile the bloated gravy train slowly grinds onwards whilst the fans continue to disappear.

[Hibernian Verse]

Exactly, plus Hibs.net isn't a good indicator of the support overall IMO. If you read .net for a week last season you'd think all Hibs fans hated Newell. When the poll was put up it was a clear majority that liked him.

It's just noisy people on social media (either positive or negative), most of the fans just want to go and watch their team every week and support the players and staff.

Would hope we could get them out quicker as thats a decent chunk of wages that we could be doing with using in the market.

I would think that if they haven't had as many season tickets sold (as discussed on other thread) this will also impact on what players can be brought in. It may mean that they need to move on players like youan?

It’s the oldest saying in the book about waiting for the right players. Didn’t expect us to have a complete squad at this point. Expected us to have a bit more in the door than we have though. Hopefully in a month we’ve got off to a beater start than last year and still in the cup.

We are towards the end of July and have signed 3 players we would class as probable first 11

Thing is all they do is negate Marshall retiring and Hanlon and Stevenson being moved on

We are currently in a much worse place than when we finished the season with loan players and quite a few others shipped out

Against our competitors we are also moving much slower - either they are all signing bodies for bodies sake or they are signing what they need and much quicker than we are

This should have been a transfer window of much excitement, creating some feel good factor and momentum

Spot on. So many people saying give it time etc.

We’re always slow at signing players and never do we end up with good ones because we’ve taken our time.

All it says to me is that nothing has changed.

Hopefully we’ll be proved wrong.

[cubehindthegoal]

Myziane Maolida, the 25-year-old forward who impressed on loan to Hibernian last season, has undergone a medical with Saudi Premier League club Al Kholood after being released by Hertha Berlin.

Might have been reasons it couldn’t happen, but given the qualities demonstrated while with us, I would have hoped this is the sort of opportunity to sign a player, for free to it turns out, for Bournemouth on a couple of year contract, with the proviso he demonstrates for another year loan with us that he is capable of the step up to the EPL. Maybe this is too simplistic, I know, but it is the sort of creative ideas I hoped would bring better players to us. However it is now worrying that we may be in similar boat to Lorient, and look where they are now. I feel my optimism pool getting shallower, but still hold out hope. I do know it’s early days and good work has been done in shifting out players, and players in to date seem promising, and of course next year we will lose more players that are seen as deadwood and can improve more. But I do wonder if Foley and the main owners are on different pages. Meantime there is definitely a dip in interest in the support generally … time will tell, and I do hope we are in a stronger position come the end of this window, and a much stronger position a year from now. SDG developing into the right man to manage us will also be important. It’s funny, I don’t know whether to feel positive or worried, and it’s not the Kelty result that casts major doubts … hmm, maybe it’s just we seem seeped in negativity just now, and I’m starting to drown in it (I don’t mean just posters here, it’s the whole atmosphere around us).

Confused ? I am, and I doubt I’m the only one.

All I'd say to that is that it's not a huge surprise to me, and I don't even mean that all that critically about Hibs on this occasion.

We absolutely had to bring in the GK and the centre halves, that had extreme urgency as well as importance so that took priority.

Our first XI is far from perfect but it is close to acceptable. There are players then filling out the squad that some (not me) would or should think might be up to being squad players.

With the BK link up... I've always thought that a big part of our recruitment would likely be loan players and those would be likely to happen as late as possible in the window. Bournemouth will be getting their squad for the season together and at that point will have an idea about who is unlikely to be featuring for them, therefore they'll be looking to shunt them out to other clubs. I suspect that rather than commit to permanent signings at the moment whilst we've got so much budget tied up in utter keech, we're likely to get the team and squad as respectable as possible by properly kicking the backside out of the loan thing.

I might be wrong, but since the BK link was established, once bottom 6 was confirmed, once we went down the route of sacking Monty, once we'd established what Jair, Kenneh et al were likely to contribute for their wages, we were always going to be a bit restless at this point.

It's a mess and not one I'd like to defend but we are where we are and it hasn't just crept up on us by surprise. Not me, anyway.

[Smartie]

Might have been reasons it couldn’t happen, but given the qualities demonstrated while with us, I would have hoped this is the sort of opportunity to sign a player, for free to it turns out, for Bournemouth on a couple of year contract, with the proviso he demonstrates for another year loan with us that he is capable of the step up to the EPL. Maybe this is too simplistic, I know, but it is the sort of creative ideas I hoped would bring better players to us. However it is now worrying that we may be in similar boat to Lorient, and look where they are now. I feel my optimism pool getting shallower, but still hold out hope. I do know it’s early days and good work has been done in shifting out players, and players in to date seem promising, and of course next year we will lose more players that are seen as deadwood and can improve more. But I do wonder if Foley and the main owners are on different pages. Meantime there is definitely a dip in interest in the support generally … time will tell, and I do hope we are in a stronger position come the end of this window, and a much stronger position a year from now. SDG developing into the right man to manage us will also be important. It’s funny, I don’t know whether to feel positive or worried, and it’s not the Kelty result that casts major doubts … hmm, maybe it’s just we seem seeped in negativity just now, and I’m starting to drown in it (I don’t mean just posters here, it’s the whole atmosphere around us).

Confused ? I am, and I doubt I’m the only one.

Not me, anyway.Will Fish is a case in point. We all knew he would probably be back. He’d been here the whole of the previous year and yet we still had to wait until fairly late on before he became available. Maolida was in the second half of the January window despite being nowhere near his team’s plans. Of course we could go out and sign good players now. This time last year we thought Vente was a great, exciting signing. McKirdy and Jair too we probably had high hopes for. Melkersen another. All now potential problems in the longer term. (Other than the one we sold) If this time we are going to get more right than wrong then I’m fine with letting them work through it and seeing where we are once we see how it all works out. Plenty time for recriminations once we actually see what happens.

We hear it every single year though. You always hear about waiting for the right players, quality over quantity and all the usual sayings.

McKirdy was signed on deadline day which just goes to show you can wait and still sign pish.

I don’t think anyone expected the squad to be complete at this point but I do think most expected us to have more than we’ve got and to have added at least one player in the final third.

Yep, Waiting for the right players implies that there’s a very small amount of players who could improve the side, which is just ridiculous.

[easty]

There is a whole lot of ground between signing ***** to get anyone in and signing what we need

We are towards the end of July and have signed 3 players we would class as probable first 11

Thing is all they do is negate Marshall retiring and Hanlon and Stevenson being moved on

We are currently in a much worse place than when we finished the season with loan players and quite a few others shipped out

Against our competitors we are also moving much slower - either they are all signing bodies for bodies sake or they are signing what they need and much quicker than we are

This should have been a transfer window of much excitement, creating some feel good factor and momentum

Instead (as at now) it's boring, stale and frankly turning more fans off hibs

I dinnae really disagree, but we’re not at the top table for signings, so there are more than likely players we want who are keeping their options open. As they should really. We’re no paying big enough wages to push people to make a decision. Not if they’re good players.

I hope we’ve got a list of players to get through.

I dinnae trust those in charge at Hibs at all, I didnae want Malky Mackay, I think the last couple of manager appointments have been wrong, I have absolutely no idea what David Marshall’s job is.

But I think they’ll all know we need quality not quantity.

I look at other SPL sides and I’m no seeing teams pulling away from us with their transfer business. At all. Spittal looks a good signing. Simon Murray prob do ok. Other than that? Nah, not really.

[cubehindthegoal]

Agree once they were on the scene, yup, but I was thinking this could be getting worked on during the latter parts of last season. Anyway, hopefully we do see some continuous signings / loans that reflect their ideas and the purpose of bringing them on board, however that works out. It is supposed to benefit us.

[Forza Fred]

Yeah I reckon harbottle could easily get upper league 2 lower league 1 team. By most accounts played well on loan last season before getting injured.

That’s not the way I see it, nor remember it.

Played with a club who missed going out of the EFL and dropping down to non league by a whisker.

Don’t think there will be a queue of suitors lining up for him.

[Forza Fred]

Yep, Waiting for the right players implies that there’s a very small amount of players who could improve the side, which is just ridiculous.

I think there was universal agreement that our squad last season was just not good enough.

Less than 2 weeks to league kick off and arguably we have done little to improve it, other than bring in a couple of defenders.

There is certainly a huge amount of room for improvement…but as far as I can see little action.

We’ve improved the back four I think. Still plenty time in the windiw to get it right further forward.

[LunasBoots]

Improved the back four but the midfield was a issue last season, it just didn't have enough with to many similar style players, we also seemed far to often to sit too deep without enough movement going forward, hoping for a more attack minded midfielder who can drive us forward so Vente doesn't have to come deep to pick up the ball.

[IanM]

id sign Ronan Hale just for that cheeky wee finish alone

The Airdrie left back certainty looks a prospect. If there’s any truth in that rumour we could do worse.

They have an issue as Dhanda plays in similar area unless they move Dhanda wider.

Think Hearts best signing will be Dhanda and the Costa Rica right back Taylor as he’s rapid and decent on the ball.

This time, he's with us for the full season!Think club said he`d been offered a new contract when we gave list of new signings and players who were staying on . Too old for Under 18s and unlikely to get a game while we have 3 goalies for first team . Presumably will still train with Hibs some of the time so could be a prospect for next season .

[Unseen work]

Zaid supposedly played really well for Annan against Dundee.

Seems to have been on the go for a while but never been near the first team for us

The other thing about the timing of signings is that we need to remember players need time to settle. Players and managers will say time and time again how important it is to get a pre-season with your new team mates and coaches.

It's also about getting the season off to the right start of course, but rather more timing meaning better options, it could be a poor start scares off players. If we lose our first couple of league games, and after the Kelty Hearts loss, there could be pressure on the team very early, which might make potential signings think twice.

I know it's not as easy a signing 10 great players in July and being done but we absolutely need to get to a place where we start the season with a solid team who have had some time to train together. Bringing in guys in say late August and expecting them to hit the ground running is a huge risk, even if they are the 'right' players.

[04Sauzee]

Seen the boy Hancock mentioned yesterday, not sure there is anything in the rumour as it's not been picked up elsewhere but the Aberdeen fans seem to think they should have kept him and reckon he was fantastic last night.

Window isn't done yet and will judge where we are at the end of it. Time is of the essence though with league season approaching and less time for new players to gel and hit the ground running. It seems on the face of it we are a bit strapped for cash.......We were struggling in January. We had a really big squad then but managed to bring in 7 players. It seemed with the likes of Marcondes and Myziane we were getting an early glimpse of the higher standard of player we could expect in the summer - players that otherwise would have been out our reach. There was also the Bournemouth contingent, Moriah-Welsh and Bevan hinting that we would be seeing a lot of loans between the multi club system. Add in Triantis, Amos, Myenda......We pushed the boat out then and like said above made a very big squad a massive one......Since then, the Foley investment of £6 million in the club (not specifically for transfers) was in Feb, the £5million debt for equity from Gordon's was in Feb and the 2.2 million board investment via shares was in June...For some reason aswell the narrative that we have a massive squad seems to keep getting pushed - we have seen around 20 players out the door now either permanent or on loan. The squad is now about normal size for what a club like Hibs needs....Is it a good squad, no. Do we have fringe players on good wages still to shift, yes - who doesn't.The initial excitement from the Foley deal was whetted for me with what we did in January. Large investments since then and even accounting for some pay offs for some players leaving I'm just a bit lost how we now (apparently) have to sell Youan to raise funds. Kensell & Malky and some other jobs for the boys probably taking their share but still. We spent 2 million plus in fees alone last summer before any investment. Perplexed at the minute.

3rd kit release

I was at the game, lucky if it was 7 minutes, left a few minutes early to avoid the bevvied up Millwall fans, there was a joint Rangers/Millwall No surrender flag

Was impressed with Forest but not surprising given they had 3 midfielders bought for £90M plus over £100M of talent on the bench. Different game

I’d prefer to have seen more but if we are making sure every signing directly improves the first team then longer term that is a better position than adding volume that just ends up causing us further issues.

You don’t think the first three players we signed will go straight into the team? Or that they might not improve us?

Or that we will hopefully be making sure any further signings stand a good chance of going into the team or improving us?

[Scotty Leither]

My worry is we don’t sign anyoneMotherwell sold their CF for a good fee, then immediately outlayed a chunk of that fee on bringing in a replacement. Maybe our highly paid CEO and Director of Football could give them a phone and ask them how they did it? Club’s an embarrassment and the radio silence is deafening.

So you can sign players that won’t improve the first team now ?

But the good ones take longer ?

The amount of people spouting that p*sh is unbelievable.

It is clearly not pish though. Good players will have options especially if from English leagues where League one or even non league teams can compete wage wise. Unrealistic to think point at a player and think he will do. Unfortunately losing a manager near the end of the season will likely mean players previously lined up may look elsewhere. There needs to be some realism rather than panicking and criticising everything

You’re right about spouting pish. What in earth are you talking about? Why would we sign a player thot won’t improve the first team with our budget. We tried that in Melkerson. Kenneth Henderson and numerous others in the recent past. I think we’ve moved away from that last season as a general rule with the exception of possibly harbottle. That strategy has been binned although we are hampered by doing it in the first place regards wages still being paid.
If identified players don’t want to come we move on to next target and so on. It won’t happen in a few weeks. If we want better quality we can’t take too much of a punt. They need to be ready and and improvement. Decent players have options that rely on other players moving etc etc.

[Scotty Leither]

Is he any good?They paid good money for him and presumably scouted him, so I suspect they’ll know more about the guy than you and I. They acted quickly and decisively though, so kudos to them for that. Kensell and the silent one continue to do f all though, beyond briefing pet journalists in the local rag.

What league did he come from and how does his record stack up against say any of our strikers.

Not exactly because we’ve already signed three that will go straight into the team.

What I’m saying is that the right player is more important than it being tomorrow or next week.

As also noted in the other responses players that are better may well have other options or the clubs don’t know whether they can let them go yet.

Maolida was well out the picture at his club but we only got him in the later part of the windowe. We wanted Will Fish back last year and despite him being here a year we had to wait for him to become available.

I like a signing as much as anyone but I can get that you can’t just sign everyone you want in your own timing.

Plenty time to get players in, or they have identified who they want and it takes time?Serious answer? I think we’re skint, principally because of the champ manager approach to recruitment where we indulged the spoilt laddie to sign utter cack on big wages. That squad as it stands will be lucky to avoid the play-offs, yet all we do is add other layers of administration (Marshall) to an organisation already top-heavy with back room staff. I don’t think any player of note will come in unless we sell our best one, Youan, and even then I wouldn’t trust the process while the spoilt laddie is still having an input.

Yip, so the guys that all other teams have signed must be crap. Infact, we’ve signed 4 as well. They must be punts.

Good players are available now. We’re sleepwalking into a new season as per usual.

It’s ok though, we’ll get a couple loan signings near the end of the window 👍🏼

That’s some take. As usual aye.😂😂 we’ve a new DOF/ sporting director and a new head coach so there will be a definite change to recruitment that’s a few weeks old. To want it to happen overnight is crazy. Players the previous set up identified will almost certainly not be the same ones we C are looking at it negotiating with now. The biggest weakness in the team for a couple of years has been addressed first and rightly so. The rest will/should follow. Theres weeks left in the window yet folk are crapping themselves on a daily basis because it’s not happening now.,it’s madness. I’ll tell you one thing for nothing to say we are sleeping and doing nothing is so far from what’s actually going on it’s embarrassing.

We appear to have signed at least 3 good players already. Your post is pretty much ignoring what people are saying and is slavering instead.

He says it takes time to sign good players. As have you. That’s a lot of rubbish.
Our squad is a joke and the season starts next week. People are right to be expecting players in the door. Especially with all the chat about investment. We’re seeing none of it.

[The Modfather]

If you believe we are skint then it is difficult to take the rest of your views on this seriously.

The lack of activity, trimming of the squad and a recruitment process and re-structure that seemed to have a theme of whoever we recruit they can’t cost any money, doesn’t scream that we’re sitting on a big transfer budget.

Other posters have made a good point about us being cash rich but transfer budget poor. Likely owing to our wages to turnover balance already at the top end of what’s sustainable.

Hibs have time to change it but my perception is that this season is about trying to sneak into the top 6, and staying clear of a relegation battle, while spending as little as possible, before having a real go at competing at the top end of the league next season when a lot of the high earning duds will be out of contract.

[Scotty Leither]

If you believe we are skint then it is difficult to take the rest of your views on this seriously.I heard from a good source the Foley money has plugged the debt ran up by the present incumbent. Deride that all you want, I really couldn’t care. What is an inconvenience for the Board though, is that here we are 10 days from the start of the league season still short of a CF to partner Vente (who can’t handle the physical side of the game here), and zero creativity added in midfield. They’ve had from the end of last season to address this but seem to be concentrating their efforts on putting their side of an embarrassing spat through a client journalist. Forgive me I don’t share your optimism for these glaring voids in the team to be fixed by Kensell and Gordon.

It's not a good source then. The "debt run up by the present incumbent" was paid off by converting it to shares.

A better source would have been the widely-reported deal at the time, the decisions made at the AGM, and their recording at Companies House.

Well said. It’s ok though apparently, everyone is working non stop behind the scenes, they’ve just not managed to sign any midfielders or attackers. We’ve got ages to the window closing though, everything is good.

I really hope the goalie is good and he might be brilliant. I don’t think it’s a given he will be though, he’s not played regular first team football in about 18 months and when he did, there were question marks about him.

It sounds like he has huge potential and he could be a real find, I don’t think he necessarily comes under the same category as a safe bet as O’Hora and big Marv though.

IMO our signings so far for me are 2 x solid, sensible good signings, 1 x gamble who could go either way and 1 x signing that doesn’t appear great, but makes sense all the same.

I’m sure that will be jumped upon as being overly negative etc but I just think Josef doesn’t fall into the same category as the other two.

Good players probably do take longer in their clubs are not wanting to lose them , transfer fee maybe high , wage's , other clubs interested and there's lots to negotiate.

Nobody’s saying everything is good so wind yer neck in. All I’m saying is it’s a longer process to get it right than you think. I’m sure we have had the option of signing hundreds of players. Signing the right available ones on our budget isn’t as easy as you think. The notion that we are sitting on our ***** doing nothing is laughable. You carry on trying to be a smart arse tho.

It’s not an overly negative view at all. If anything it’s probably overly positive.

We’ve signed a million and one players from the level of O’Hora and Marv, most have been crap, a small few have been really good. That’s not to say they won’t be good, but it’s far too early to be declaring them good signings or improvements.
