Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[Albert Kidd 86’]

Exactly my point. So lets not build them up as excellent signings, or knock them down as keech signings until we have a bit of solid evidence about how they will fare against our premiership opponents regularly.
This one looks pretty good against premiership players:wink:

Cracking finish

[greenginger]

Is it not to do with it being a different footballing federation (cross borders) and not the nationality/citizenship of player.

If the BBC is correct with the Hearts boy signing a couple of hours before Ko, the I think either Myko can play tomorrow or Herts have fielded an ineligible player.

I don’t know which I prefer !

[Aldo]

I’m sure he’s been cleared to play and I expect Myko to be in tomorrow’s squad. If not I’d be asking why they’ve managed to give clearance to one player and not another in the same league.

[ancient hibee]

He actually played 15 games and scored 5 goals for us in that period.

Did you rate him when he was with us during his previous loan period?

I suspect he’s never seen him play.

[bingo70]

It’s dependant on the selling/loaning club doing their bit as well though.

[McD]

You’d think if they do have a season ticket, they’d remember him playing a number of times inside the “2 years” they keep screeching about

Yes clearly a player couldn’t get a game for nearly 2 seasons and we get him on loan yes clearly a player 🤦

If you can’t see with your own eyes after his previous spell here that Myko is a quality player, there’s no helping you. He’s also been playing games pre-season. He’s not climbed off the treatment table to sign here. You seem to be a bit of a slaver.

“Predominantly a central midfielder, he can also operate at right-back, left-back and in central defence.”

Hibs new transfer strategy get a player that can play 4 positions to save on incomings.

[Ozyhibby]

Good player. But we need to build a team, not just back to square one next summer. Is permanent deal not an option?

We really don’t want to invest money it seems on the team.

Loan is surely the best option here given his injury record. We can’t risk a multi year deal.

[Hibees1973]

I expect Hibs have been more diligent this time and he is currently fit to play. Given he is a loan and has a poor injury record hope we are not paying any more than 25% of his wages.

When on the park Myko is miles better than most other forwards we have so fingers crossed he stays fit.

I’ve got concerns about his injury record but I thought Myko was an absolutely top notch player when he was fit with us first time around.

We now, imo, have an excellent first choice XI.

Bit of squad depth to be added and a bit of luck with injuries - I think we should be able to have a good season.

The midfield is still a concern in our strongest 11. NMW will hopefully continue to get better but is still very raw. I’m a fan though. Campbell & Newell are inconsistent. Probably more good days than bad for both but lots of games that pass them by. Midfield will probably be functional though this season, rather than one of our biggest strengths.

[Keepthefaith]

Yup

and if this does come to fruition, will you and others like you perhaps reflect on the bile that has been spewed towards the club and individuals within it prior to this point?

I've no problem people raising concerns at perceived inactivity given the gaps that have existed in the squad, but the degree of negativity and slating the club, with others repeating it ad nauseam contributing to a tsunami of bitterness and hopelessness ahead of the new season has been quite something to behold.

the club aren't perfect, we've made mistakes but dear god I hope there's folk who reflect on their contributions both here and on social media and maybe be a bit more measured in future.

Big Mike is a great signing - obvious quality. if there is indeed more to come, I think we'll do alright and have a good feeling about Gray ensuring we progress.

I remember watching one of the games he played last season in the Premier League, think it was against Everton and he looked really good for a young laddie.

Fully agree and it's pretty obvious for ages. Can't believe we've recruited no-one in midfield.

Even though it’s a loan from Swansea?

I still think we need another CB. It’s only going to take one injury and we are back to Bushiri starting. I know some think he is ok for back up but a bad injury to either Marv or O’Hora and we will have to start him every week. That will significantly weaken us.

[Brooster]

Can't be Hodge then. No way he'd be up here on a trial, still three years on his Wolves deal as well.

You might be wrong.

I know what you are saying, but i think its difficult to sign a better CH than Rocky to basically have sitting on the bench until someone is injured.

True but out of that list I’d say three (NMW, Marcondes and Jeggo) made some sort of positive impact, with Levitt and Amos having question marks, Henderson and Triantis just weren’t good enough and CJ was never a midfielder imo. Need to be bringing in better quality players in the right positions. With the rumours going about, I think we’re doing that now.

True but out of that list I’d say three (NMW, Marcondes and Jeggo) made some sort of positive impact, with Levitt and Amos having question marks, Henderson and Triantis just weren’t good enough and CJ was never a midfielder imo. Need to be bringing in better quality players in the right positions. With the rumours going about, I think we’re doing that now.

Disagree about Triantis. He was good in midfield.

Ian Gordon and Ben Kensell have got us into this financial position by bringing in average players on inflated salaries and long term contracts. The Gordons need to pony up with the cash to replace these deadbeats with the quality we were promised.

They will probably announce a right footed left winger at age 34 on a 1 year deal - meaning next summer need to find another new player.

If we don’t add central midfielders (plural) before the season starts we deserve everything we get.

They extended Joe Newell’s contract and unbelievably our manager gave him the captaincy - reward failure then expect nothing less. Yet another 90 minutes where our experienced “leader” went missing and offered the square root of nothing. Must be a dream to play against knowing he’s not going to grasp the nettle and influence games. It’s such a sad sad indictment of where we are when he’s a “lynchpin”. Added to that, you could perm any of our other midfielders and all you’d get is three or four similarly poor, uninspiring, uncreative players none of whom make you want to pay to watch football. In a word, bland.

How many chances do we give the likes of Vente, Campbell and Miller until they are actually removed from the squad and told to train with the laddies until they get a new club. I'm just naming these three to begin with, there are others.

People are saying on here Gray is a leader and a tough character. He is an inexperienced manager and will need to learn quickly. My fear is much as he may be a quick learner he does not have enough quality to work with.

A couple of weeks ago I was up at The Fort shopping centre when up rolled Martin Boyle in his personalised number plate Porsche. I'm going to add him to the culpable list now. Shadow of is former self and if he wants to move, open the door and say goodbye to him. Will save us a fortune in wages.

It would help. More so given we're hardly going to bring in 2 or 3 all singing all dancing midfielders. Will force Newell forward and free up the others to be more creative. Will allow Levitt more freedom also. As it stand everyone seems to be trying to do a bit of everything and it just isn't working. They don't compliment each other very well and are tripping over one another picking up the ball form the defence.

He’s looked a lot better than anything we have at right back, plus he’s huge and obviously a hand full. All opinions but he’s in sides beating us easily and I’m sure he’s managed a goal or two against us. I think the point folk are making is these guys are available and look at least capable in this league. Our two right backs today both don’t defend well regularly for me. Not to say they aren’t any good but the system we are playing isn’t serving us or them.

Arguing over Gogic regardless of how much it irks people is absolutely irrelevant now. Our whole effin team, management and owners are 💩 and even a team full of Gogics are not going to fix that. 😡

[Centre Hawf]

It's not really, though, is it. He wasn't anywhere near being one of our best players that season.

To be fair to Gogic, while he was far from our best player technically, he was a mainstay in the side that finished third and was probably a couple flipped results away from being CDM in our most successful season for 50 years. He obviously offered us something that made us tougher to play through and overall better side than without him.

I feel like every time we get a defensive minded midfielder we all eventually piss and moan that they can't play the ball like prime Iniesta, but then we get someone who can play it in their place - because we're Hibs and should play liquid football at all times - and then we question why that player can't tackle like prime Busquets and we need a new Matty Jack, who himself couldn't pass water and the cycle starts again.

Every team, even that Barcelona side to use a bad example in comparison to us, is built on that balance and whenever we've actually had it in our squad we've usually had a successful season. We absolutely have not had that consistently since Gogic left, in fact our best spells over the last couple of seasons since has probably been when Jimmy Jeggo was playing for us and allowed to go do the Gogic stuff. That's not to say Jeggo himself was this perfect player either, but I think we get so hung up on watching them on the ball do the simplest things that we don't ever appreciate what they can do off the ball which was majority of what they were signed to do.

[keep the faith]

Sign Ryan Jack.

Decent call

[SaulGoodman]

Not sure who we will sign but I’m just going to trust the process.

[Callum_62]

Not sure who we will sign but I’m just going to trust the process.That is all that is required

Once Hoilett, Hodge and all the Ian Gordon signings come through we will be flying

3 points on Sunday and into the next round come the 18th

When St Mirren did us 0-3 at home, I loved the way Gogic played with his socks down and no shinnies. Said everything about our side unfortunately.

[Ozyhibby]

To be fair to Gogic, while he was far from our best player technically, he was a mainstay in the side that finished third and was probably a couple flipped results away from being CDM in our most successful season for 50 years. He obviously offered us something that made us tougher to play through and overall better side than without him.

He has not played midfield in years now.

He played midfield on Thursday night

He didn’t, he played in a back 3 in a 3-5-2/3-4-3 like he did today.

[Alex Trager]

Gogic is still in the air looking for David Wotherspoon as he chopped inside to place a ball neatly in the box for them to win the cup.

Agree with most of that, although have to say that I thought Gogic was a miles better player than Jeggo.

And Jeggo was a better player than NMW. The decline continues.

I was far from a Gogic fan but he was only out trying to block that cross because Boyle and Paul McGinn had messed up multiple attempts to deal with Spoony and Booth in the lead up to it.

You’re 100% was spot on.

We cry and moan about wanting someone to do that role and when we sign them we appreciate them for about 5 games.

Within that 5 games our form tends to improve until we get a draw we should have won and then it’s “we don’t need him in this type of game”

We then continuously moan about them not being good enough on the ball etc

[Unseen work]

This is another part of it, when we watch players like Gogic to other teams we only recognise the good things they do.

When they come to us, as fans we tend to look for the negative or an excuse as to why something happened and someone to blame

The first goal today is prime example, you can pick it apart but the St Mirren player done brilliantly.

If Elie, Boyle etc done that we’d be saying how good it was

The Luke McCowan chat is fantasy stuff. There is zero chance he will be coming to Hibs, zero.

Said the same earlier today.

Free transfer dross, over the hill players, permanently injured players, and untried youngsters on loan is our idea of strengthening this woeful side.

We're in big trouble.

[Centre Hawf]

And Jeggo was a better player than NMW. The decline continues.

Agree with both of you. I think NMW is another example of where we've gone wrong thought we could replace Jeggo with a better all round midfielder instead of just a better version of Jeggo. While he may have a bit more of an engine and occasionally plays it forward better than Gogic/Jeggo can, the reality is he lacks any real reading of the game as a defensive minded midfielder.

[SaulGoodman]

Can’t see anyone wanting to come to us just now. Club is a shambles.

[LaMotta]

I'm not quite sure yet if that is true but, if it is, then we are in serious trouble.

[Ozyhibby]

I’m still holding out a bit of hope for NMW but it’s likely misplaced. We badly need a player who breaks up play and I thought it might be him.

How are Hibs not ambitious though? We are very ambitious. Just crap.

Vente cost a ****ing fortune.

A million pound player got for 700k because he can only run for 60 minutes.
