Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[AlbertK86]

If O’Hora is going to be unavailable then we should go sign a new centre half. Ndaba isn’t a centre half. If he played there for Killie it wasn’t any time I saw them play.

He’s a decent full back. I’d no play him ahead of Obita. I’m no convinced at all that he’s what we need, unless he’s happy to come in as a sub.

Played CH a few times for Killie and has played there in the past

I suppose everyone wants things to be better though we won today and apart from O'Hora going off there were very few negatives. It's ok to enjoy a good performance now and again too 👍

Just checked it on Transfermarkt, he played 3 games for Killie at centre half. 2 of them in the league cup at the start of last season

I didn’t know he’d been on loan at Ayr previously.

It is the constant need to complain. Harking back to defeats when winning, saying with confidence that players won’t improve whilst any new players could t possibly be described as good yet.

It is fine to think things can and should get better without draining the life out of everyone.

David Gray on timing of signings:

"It's something I've said many times about bringing the right ones in. Obviously I'd rather done it three to four weeks ago, we always want to do it as quickly as we can because the earlier you can get working with the players, the better. But we also know it needs to be the right person. Would I like someone in before the weekend to give us strength and depth? One hundred per cent, but it's not as simple as that. There's hard work going on every single day to do that, and that's all we can do at the moment, keep working as hard as we can to bring in the right people to strengthen what we've got. It can't just be a number coming in, it has to be someone who enhances what we've already got."

"It can be frustrating for everyone involved. I understand that. That's the nature of when a transfer window is open, you'll naturally get ins and outs and it's about making sure the process is right to bring the right people in. That's what we need to trust in. Hopefully we'll get it right in days rather than weeks.

Sundowns are by a long way the best in the league (and have been for a few years) - he scored 9 in 18 for them and was a standout in the one season he was with them - league young player of the season. League is good - not brilliant, a bit slower than ours, has a reputation for guys going on glory runs (Youan style). Sundowns though play a passing game. Mailula's assists say more than his scoring record. Would be a good move for him and I suspect for Hibs also. If he signs expect a raised index finger when he scores.

Then you’ll know it’s a decent standard. You’ll also be one who probably slates the ever improving A League.

There’s plenty good players in every league, the ignorance and snobbery on here sometimes is embarrassing.

The Scottish League gets talked down all the time and there’s plenty very good players in this league.

Hibs are unlikely to be signing this guy but if we do, happy days, we need forwards in and we aren’t going to be signing finished products all of the time. We simply can’t afford it.

😂 you may well be right about the Sundowns. Odds were never great though. And your spot on, thankfully well on top of it now.

Like any player though, if we sign Mailula then there's nothing I want more than for him to be class. Same goes for all our current players. Been critical of Levitt recently but thought he looked really good when he came on today and I was happy about it.

I’m as frustrated as anyone at our lack of transfer activity… but those are pretty reasonable and fair comments from Gray and undoubtedly the smart answer in his and our situation.

The problem this window is more the quantity of work required to get to an acceptable standard of squad, not the actual work carried out, which has arguably been decent so far.

It’s just that the bar is high - and all sorts of chat re investment has raised our expectations too, so negativity and frustration at this stage is to be expected.

[JimBHibees]

Modern football we need to take advantage of the loan market. Bournemouth (our feeder club) have about 12 strikers on their books. Pretty sure one or two of them would be gold for us. The loan market allows you to take players for a season we couldnt possibly afford to buy. Play it right and reap the rewards.

He looks good technically and has lots of energy. Also looks very small and would benefit from some time in the gym. Difficult to say if he would adapt over here so we do have to avoid handing him a long term deal like we have been doing recently.
Also, he looks more like an attacking mid rather than a striker.

I wouldn't have been unhappy if we'd kept him, but I feel he was similar to Jair, Henderson, Levitt, McKirdy - you see flashes where you can see real talent, but overall there's very little impact. I don't know why that is. It's very easy just to label them as ***** or blame poor coaching, but I think there must be more to it than that.

Brian Graham came to Hibs at 29 year old, off the back of 11 goals in 31 games games the season before at Ross County. Then 6 in 3 cup games before we signed him at the start of the season.

Jordan White is 32 and got 8 in 47 games last season.

Jordan White is a laughable suggestion for a Hibs signing. I think I’d greet.

Rational being someone to throw on late when we need a goal. He has done it enough times against us why not for us. Not suggesting he is a great player however big physical and decent in the air and would provide a different option.

[Smartie]

I don’t mind a wacky shout if it looks like it solves a particular problem or if you’re actually desperate.

Signing 32 year old Mixu Paatelainen raised a few eyebrows - he immediately improved our team and after a few extra top notch signings remained a hugely important part of an excellent Hibs team.

I don’t think Jordan White fixes the “striker can’t hit a coo’s erse with a banjo” problem though. If we were struggling to create and needed a big, ugly striker to shell balls up to, maybe. But that’s not where we are.

Funnily enough, I think ALF would be having a great time playing Vente’s role in this team.

Doesn’t matter whose favour it’s in, we could always just stiff him over the second year if it turned out not to suit us any more.

[easty]

Rational being someone to throw on late when we need a goal. He has done it enough times against us why not for us. Not suggesting he is a great player however big physical and decent in the air and would provide a different option.

He’s scored 3 goals against us in his life. Only one of them was a winning goal.

[eastmainsmsh]

We need a Mixu type striker to change things up I think Van Veen would be great he reminds me of Holt as well

I agree a Mixu or a Holt type would be good.

That’s no the sort of player van Veen is though, not from how I remember him at Motherwell anyway.

I agree a Mixu or a Holt type would be good.That’s no the sort of player van Veen is though, not from how I remember him at Motherwell anyway.A Mixu type yes but a Holt type would score less than Vente. We have no issue getting great balls into the box and making chances that should result in at least testing the keeper. The issue at the moment is finishing and timing of runs. I always thought Mixu was a very good finisher and an excellent team player. Better than a goal every 3 games in the top league for us while Holt was worse than a goal in every 4 games in the Championship. My biggest worry with Vente is that Rudi and Campbell are making the runs to teh near post that I would have hoped Dylan would. He is still getting goal scoring opportunities so he may well start scoring regularly and it won't be an issue. A number 9 would be the most important transfer business we could do. Arguably two one of whom was very good with his back to goal would make a difference. One thing I did notice yesterday was that as soon as Levitt came on Vente was more involved in the build up. The other midfielder seem to pass it wide while Levitt mixes it up and threads balls for Vente to knock wide.

You never know whether some of the suggestions on here are serious or not, but the wacky suggestion I’d probably say has most merit is Jamie McLaren.

I realise he’s joined someone else and it’s not going to happen but it looks to me like we’re most lacking the natural finisher, someone who can take a chance and is rapid over a few yards.

Dunno if there’s anybody out there who fits that bill? Ruari Paton might have been a decent shout too, good lower league scoring record? Bvioydky he’s also recently made a move.

Bvioydky he’s also recently made a move.McLaren would do well in this team and is course and distance so we know what we would get. Too late for that now though. I'm a great believer that anyone knocking in the best part of 20 goals in the Championship is worth a gamble. I'd see them as far less of a gamble than a young player who is relocating from a complete different footballing culture. Scoring regularly in the Championship says to me that the physical side of the Premiership will probably be handled and most of teh youngsters fail to cope with that.

Cost Hibs £45k [same as Gordon McQueen joined Leeds from them for] & they resigned him a year later for £18k. Also scored in the 6-0 win against Malmo, but that was about it.

Don't know much about Bowie but League 1 isn't too far off SPL standard and he's scored 14 goals in 80 odd appearances in that league. Hardly prolific. Big Myk was decent for us but he's not broken through at Swansea and been injured a lot. With our luck and track records with injuries too much of a risk. That's why I'm not overly excited at the prospect of either signing tbh

We wouldn't be signing Bowie from Northampton though, he's a Fulham player and seems to be highly thought of, which is why a few clubs are after him.

I’ll never argue with anyone having hesitations about Kukharevych injury record, so I get that.

That's not a bad return for a boy who's now only 21 so was probably playing and scoring goals at 19. He's been playing mens football since his Raith days. Yes he's young but he's got a fair bit experience.

We also spent some of that money on Joe McBride (senior) who was a great signing for us and scored loads of goals.Joe McBride Snr (1968-1971) was at Hibs a couple of years before Blair, he cost us 15,000 (best buy we ever done) the rest of Steins transfer money went into Harrowers pocket as far as I can remember, Blair cost 45,000 brought in (1970) to eventually replace goals McBride (no chance) he only managed 6 months or so at Hibs before we sold him back to Saints for around half the amount we bought him for. Jim sadly passed away at the relatively young age of 64 in 2012.He went back to Saints where he was regarded as a real good player who scored lots of goals for them, just never managed to replicate his form at Easter Road, some player similarities with another buy from Saints Barry Lavety, never managed to hit the same goalscoring as he had done at saint Mirren. Thinking about it we have taken a lot of players good and not so good from Saints, with Gerry Baker and Super John a couple that stand out.

[Alfred E Newman]

We didn’t spend any of the Colin Stein money on Blair. Stein was sold in 1968 and Blair was signed in 1970. We spent a fraction of it replacing him with Joe Mc Bride who was a prolific goal scorer.

[Ray_]

We also spent some of that money on Joe McBride (senior) who was a great signing for us and scored loads of goals.

Colin Stein's cash brought us Jim Black, Johnny Graham, Shades & Joe McBride and with Willie Mac becoming manager, early in the 1969/70 season, we started the season really well and the October win at Ibrox, put us top. It also completed a the set, having already had league victories at Parkhead and Tynecastle. Didn't last, Peter Marinello was gone by the NY derby, his replacement was Arthur Duncan & then we sold Peter Cormack, in the March & Jim Blair was brought in to replace PC.

It was a dreadful time to lose three big stars, in a little more than 18 months, thankfully all, bar Jim Blair, made a desirable impact.

Killmarnock signed, I think, 16 players last summer and St Mirren 10. Both went on to make Europe. Big turnovers each summer are the reality of Scottish football. Which is fine if there’s an overarching plan to it. Our approach of signing lots of good individual players and hoping they somehow fit together is why we were poorer than most at it.

He would have already signed for Hibs had it not been for the change in manager.

On your first point i’d imagine he’s taking stock of all his offers but you never know. He’s diminutive in size so that’s maybe off putting some but that would be disrespectful to a player of his quality.

No being arsey here at all btw mate but if he’s good as some folk on here have said he is, how’s it taken him so long to pick up a club (and one better than Ross County at that) and surely we’d have looked at him as an option considering he’s free and available, which will suit us as we’ve clearly no got a pot to piss in

He’s a very good player and his close control is fantastic. Think he would be a superb addition.

There's a huge gulf between the Australian league and the Scottish Prem. In saying that i know next to nothing about Josh Nisbet.

Who'd have thought eh

[Donegal Hibby]

I couldn't read it though there's some mention of Hibs and that player Cassius Mailula in the Scotsman.

[tonyrougier123]

I honestly think Nisbet could be a decent player in this league.
Aussie league is hard to judge in saying that, I think his ball control low centre of gravity and tenacity could be zemmama esq. did miss one of the worst sitters I’ve ever seen though 😂🤦*♂️

[SunshineOn1875]

I couldn't read it though there's some mention of Hibs and that player Cassius Mailula in the Scotsman.Ian Gordon spending far to much time on football manager with that one.

I’ve seen him a few times and I’ve absolutely no issue with us not signing him. I’m not sure he’s good enough from what I’ve seen.

[Since90+2]

Unfortunate not to have got a goal for N Ireland too . Thought this was an interesting watch about him....

His record in Premier League 2 last season was phenomenal. Played 14 games and scored 18 goals plus 5 assists.

Not sure what standard that is but I'd imagine it's atleast on par with our Championship and those numbers are impressive.

[Donegal Hibby]

Maybe though I checked up on MM and noticed that when he was manager at Ross County he signed Loturi from Calvary FC . Also a possibility he knows the player , anyhow might not happen as it's all speculation at this point.

Would rather him than the South African boy.

Looks like he knows exactly where the goals are.

Still think we would also need a big experienced robust striker.

Also quite like the look of Bowie as well.

Yeah very impressive

When you see the success of guys like Mika Biereth for Motherwell last season it seems a bit bad about to look at these guys.

If we signed Biereth, Beck etc last year I’m sure there would have been comments about we need a higher standard. Within a couple of months they’re then we’ll out of our reach

Think the South African boy is a winger/10 according to most fans of South African football.

I really don't know the standard of the premier League 2 though I agree , you'd think it would be at least on par with our championship. It's quite some record he's got , that's for sure .

Hopefully he and Bowie are added to the attacking options.

I posted the same on the PM this afternoon.

Good to see someone else’s brain is obsessed with finding out these sort of things as me 🤣

The football ability standard is probably a lot higher, but there’s a massive step up from playing u21s to first team football.

Yip, Kennah was bossing it at that level.

[Since90+2]

How many games did you see him play at that level?

[Edinburgh Green]

How many games did you see him play at that level?

None, why?

[SunshineOn1875]

How many games did you see him play at that level?Leeds fans did go on about how they were surprised to be letting him go as he looked a talent. Although saying that Leeds fans are thick as mince so that should have been a big enough sign.

[easty]

How many games did you see him play at that level?

I lived in Leeds for 3 years, so a few mates down there. When we signed him I messaged a boy who goes home and away, he knew of Kenneh but said he had nae idea if he was any good as he’d never seen him play.

[DC_Hibs]

Yip, Kennah was bossing it at that level.

Aye, at centre back.

Read an article about his time at Shrewsbury where the new manager dropped him. When he got back in he was told to play to his strengths and keep it simple - meaning just give it to the football players.

I’m amazed anyone scouted him and thought he could play midfield. His attends at chasing Nouble back when we conceded at Livingston was even worse than his ball skills.

[MagicSwirlingShip]

The next Jimmy Jeggo.

Viva el Jeggo

[Since90+2]

None, why?

Not sure how you can say he was bossing it then? I think he played 1 season at that level and Leeds finished 2nd bottom.

The lad at West Ham has 23 direct goal contributions, the vast majority of them goals, in 14 games at that level. That's impressive even without us being sure what sort of level it is, but it will be technically very good.

[Donegal Hibby]

On the forward front , we are now linked with ..

Bowie.
Mailula.
Marshall.
Mykola .

I suppose my preference would be Bowie in he seems to versatile and Mykola in that I rate him highly and he'd give us a physical presence upfront though understand why some don't .

Think it was just some of us speculating about him right enough and he wasn't actually linked.👍

[Gruff]

Who is Marshall?lad from West Ham, was on loan to West Brom last season.

I’m not sure why West Ham would see a loan move to Scotland being an upgrade on a move to the Championship.

[MWHIBBIES]

Smith-rowe to Fulham for 34 million.

His attends at chasing Nouble back when we conceded at Livingston was even worse than his ball skills.Its mad that we thought giving him a 3 year deal was sensible. He struggled in the league cup group games, the writing was on the wall then. Despite this there were some people on here soon after he'd signed claiming he'd make us millions and play at a much higher level - I've no idea how anyone could have come to that conclusion based on his early performances for us!
