Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[WestStandWillie]

Heard earlier that Port Vale are wanting Kenneh on loan. We're wanting a permanent transfer and a fee.

Good to be ambitious but I doubt we'll get two fees for him

[McGruber]

Ongoing.

Youan? Hoefully not

[flash]

Unless it's two five pound notes.

[Iain G]

Triantis filled a slot almost accidentally, but the fact we haven't really replaced even him is quite a damning indictment of our midfield.

Even though Monty had played him in the DM role before when in Oz?

[JohnM1875]

Heard earlier that Port Vale are wanting Kenneh on loan. We're wanting a permanent transfer and a fee.

Be surprised if anyone offers us a fee for Kenneh, they can arrange a pre contract in January. I get a fee would secure him now and there might be competition in Jan. But a loan seems the smart option for other clubs.

[easty]

Even though Monty had played him in the DM role before when in Oz?

Twice, once as a sub for the last 20 mins, then the next again week in a match they lost. Then never again. :aok:

[Hibees1973]

Sidibeh scored two excellent goals for St Johnstone at the weekend guy is rapid burnt off Triantis and Rocky for pace at ER to score running into a headwind in a recent defeat

I'm in my 50s and would fancy myself beating Rocky in a headwind.

[Centre Hawf]

Even though Monty had played him in the DM role before when in Oz?

What does that matter? He was signed as a centre half, was utterly hopeless, ended up filling a gap in midfield only after he was bombed to the bench. He wasn't signed to be an answer to any midfield issues.

One of their players is Kwon from Celtic, potential loan?

Centre mid

Big brain play from Unseen work!

Tremendous work, well played 👏👏

[CentreForward]

Definitely incredible work but do we really know much about this guy? Can anyone remember much about him at St Mirren? Hasn’t played a game for Celtic and doesn’t look like he scores any goals. You’ve got to guess that he has to be reasonable if Celtic signed him. Guessing with his connections in Asia that he was an Ange P signing. This certainly sounds like this could be exciting but know very little about him. Certainly all very left field and unexpected!

[Jones28]

Apparently more of a defensive midfielder.
Done well at St Mirren and their fans liked him.

Good signing on paper.

Let’s hope we get McCowan too signed and transform our midfield at long last :aok:

excellent signing Kwon if true ,made a big impression with the Buddies on loan ..Bit of height into the midfield too think he’s 6 ft 4 tall.

[Donegal Hibby]

Great detective work from unseen work 👏👏👏

https://youtu.be/a0DZ6w94Bl4

[Unseen work]

Kwon, McCowan and Newell would be a very decent midfield 3.

Got to move on Kenneh, Delferriere, Amos from the middle of the park along with others like Jair, Harbottle etc.

Some agent if he manages to get a move to the Eredevise.

Just hasn't worked out at all here after a promising start. Hopefully at least get back what we paid.

[BILLYHIBS]

Rocky is rapid especially over 20 yards

Rocky might have caught him if Triantis hadn’t played him onside

They play in the top flight too, might get a decent amount for him if it’s permanent

[Unseen work]

I think Vente still had a lot of fans who had faith in him at the end of the season and put it down to lack of service etc

Started the season well with a hat trick and then seemed to miss every chance he had after that

His confidence plummeted and so did the fans confidence in him

Hopefully get a decent chunk of our money back then. Feel he could probably still do well over there.

You'd imagine is he's away we will need to get another striker as well. Doubt we would just go with myko who had a poor injury record and theb Bowie who isn't an out and out. Need to have an option we can rotate, bring off the bench etc.

[Donegal Hibby]

Think you may be right, different culture etc not for everyone.

Definitely looked a player when he first joined us but hasn’t looked like a player that’s settled imo . Wish him well if he goes .

Reading this article about Kwon and like the bit where it says we aren’t giving up on McCowan . Kwon and McCowan would really improve our midfield….

Watching him Sunday on and off the ball - really didn’t look bothered and seemed like he knew he was leaving.

With a half fit Myko starting on Sunday and Bowie coming on before him.

Shame if true as would have loved for it to work out but just hasn’t happened.

Wouldn’t be surprised if he goes elsewhere and scores a load of goals. Be interesting to see how he does.

Wish him well if he does leave.

Seemed a good signing on paper with 21 goals in 38 goals and 23 goals in 38 in Holland.

[greenlex]

Agreed. It’s his speed between his ears that lets him down.

[Centre Hawf]

Heard this one a few times from folk but I sadly think it's not going to happen. Guys only connection to Scotland is his international appearances and he's pretty much been in Yorkshire his whole career. Doesn't strike me as the type to be interested in a move up the road.

[Up-the-slope]

Still think he will come good (just probably not with us now ) - you don't score the goals he has in his career at any level and then it totally goes.

Look at Shanklands period in Belgium - couldn't his the proverbial coo's jacksy with a banjo. some clubs / environments just don't work for some players
#
Hope we sell with big sell on so we get benefit when he gets back at it.

Makes me wonder how Melkerson is getting on

[B.H.F.C]

If we can move Vente on its best all round. Been clear for a while now that it just wasn’t going to happen for him IMO.

[RossScott1991]

Happy with Kwon. 6ft 4, CDM. Just what we need! That’s one nailed down. Now need to try get McCowan. Then newell and Campbells days of playing every week are numbered.

Vente off to it seems. Best thing for him tbh, snippets of being ok but has to be classed as a pricey flop.

[BILLYHIBS]

Agreed. It’s his speed between his ears that lets him down.

😂

[04Sauzee]

Without getting into a wages debate I'm assuming with the fee we paid that Vente will be a decent earned. If he's not getting game time it's best to have him off the wage bill, even if his rumoured new club is just on loan and they pick up his wages.

[Cabbage-Patch]

Vente away to FC Zwolle it appears too…..

Loan or permanent? If this is the case we need another striker before the window closes.

I’ll be honest B. I wasn’t trying to be funny. He can’t read the game and always seems to a yard or half yard out of position and rarely seems in control of a situation. Physically he has all the attributes but lacks that something to make him much better. It’s definitely between his ears and speed of thought is right up there.

Only time Vente looked on point was when he partnered with Le Fondre at the start of last season.

[Since452]

How did Kwon get on at St Mirren last season? Don't know much about him. They finished in a European place so must have done pretty well?

[Saint Hibee]

Would much prefer McCowan to Kwon if it boils down to a choice between the two. To my mind it’s really a driving forward kind of midfielder we need rather than a defensive one. Or is that what Kwon is? I kept my eyes closed during most of our St Mirren home defeat last season …

[CapitalGreen]

Joined in Jan and played 9 games before injury ended his season early. Was good for them and the best player on the park when we met at Easter Road.

In the Hibs 0 St Mirren 3 last season he was fantastic.

Fantastic might be stretching it as that was probably along with the Aberdeen game later in the season a despicable performance by Hibs. No effort no spirit a real get manager sacked performance

Think its very much both we’re trying to get and not one or the other.

I'd obviously prefer Allan Campbell over Kwon on loan, but realistically Campbell will get a team down south no bother. So Kwon loan makes sense.

Hope the there's an option to buy added in too.

That was in reference to filling the team up with loans from Bournemouth.

Every club uses loans to get hold of players they probably couldn’t afford to buy. No issue with some loan signings.

Only John Park on the back room staff.

[Smartie]

Would love us to get away from trying to build a team on loan signings.

Me too, but it sort of makes sense when you've got as many non-contributing players tied up on long deals as we do.

If we've got 15 players out of contract next season and if we actually have plans to keep our head coach and sporting director in place for more than a year or so, then we can be making proper plans from January to be getting the squad sorted further next summer.

It's not ideal, but is probably a way to get from A to B.

😉👊👍

[.Sean.]

If I am being greedy I’d still love McCowan and Campbell, those two and Kwon would be a solid midfield 3

Who was it that said we were in for Campbell, is this still an option?

We also desperately still need a centre half, especially if we’re ever playing 3 at the back as that’s a complete and utter no no with Both Rocky and Ekpiteta

[Donegal Hibby]

Happy with the Kwon signing as we needed a DM . I take it this is the first Korean to play for hibs ? . Hopefully McCowan next please….

I think thats a top class loan signing for us. Been lacking a proper no.6. Walks right into the starting 11 (but not this weekend I assume!)

Can’t help but think McCowan won’t now be happening as MM mentioned the speed it was concluded when thanking Celtic.
Sounds like a ‘plan b’

Prefer the direction we are going in with signings.

Hoilett and now Kwon both by all accounts done well on loan in our league last year.

Two centre halves coming in seen as leaders with hundreds of games under their belt at a comparable level.

Can see the logic in the signings we are making - got to be more confident in the % of it actually working out and players coming in adding value - it is just the extent of the movement that we actually need that is so massive.

[Unseen work]

Wonder with Vente going if we’d go for Sidibeh as we were previously linked with him

Only thing is 500k would be a big outlay considering what we paid for Bowie and likely to pay for McCowan.

[Ronniekirk]

Definitely incredible work but do we really know much about this guy? Can anyone remember much about him at St Mirren? Hasn’t played a game for Celtic and doesn’t look like he scores any goals. You’ve got to guess that he has to be reasonable if Celtic signed him. Guessing with his connections in Asia that he was an Ange P signing. This certainly sounds like this could be exciting but know very little about him. Certainly all very left field and unexpected!
I live in Paisley and saints fans loved him and wanted him back so it should be a good signing

[Real Emerald]

We’ve also got Hong King on the books, every week I hear folk shouting his name. 😁

Edit: Usually in a pairing with team mate Fu King

[Up-the-slope]

No mention of an option to buy in the loan announcement.

No chance - they signed him on 5 year deal

Wouldn't be the first player Celtic signed on a decent length deal then punted after a season or two.

Delighted with this signing. I think he'll slot in nicely as our 6 that we've been crying out for. I do also think that may put to bed the Campbell interest, but if we can get McCowan still that would be fantastic.

I’d say that means Campbell and hodge won’t happen which is fine

But I’d say we will go all out attack for McGowan

But when Kwon, Hoilett, Bowie, Myk and Cadden are fully up to speed it should be a huge difference to our team.

Never mind Mccowan and another centre half

Yep, watched him play for CCM almost every week throughout the season, if our midfield lacks energy then Nisbet has that in abundance and more, what he lacks in height he makes it up with his bullish performances, and thats against players who are tall and quick, he doesnt shirk or look out of place on the pitch.

He’s scored 7 career goals by 25 years old and never scored more than 3 in a season. He’s not really a goal threat.

I've never seen him play so not an opinion on Nisbet, but i don't think our midfield lacks energy, its quality and physicality that we're missing.

Cheers mate, just got this off a Dutch site

There is a good chance that Dylan Vente will return to the Eredivisie soon. The striker of the Scottish Hibernian is about to complete a loan transfer to PEC Zwolle.

'Earlier in the transfer summer, Vente was already linked to PEC, but a deal seemed impossible at the time', writes Voetbal International, which knows that Zwolle and Hibernian have now reached an agreement. Only the medical examination can stand in the way of the temporary transfer to Zwolle, where the 25-year-old Vente has to compete with Thomas Buitink.

Vente has been under contract with Hibernian for a year now. The Scots acquired him for just under a million euros from Roda JC, for which he scored 21 times in the Kitchen Champion Division. In Scotland, the counter is running slower. After 25 matches, Vente, who has already played minutes in the Eredivisie for Feyenoord, has four goals.

Well, with Hibs recruitment record I think we can safely pass on that one, and with the other two I don't think I'd be a million miles away if I said his size would be a significant factor or more likely, like scores of other players, they just didn't fancy him.

I also don't think anyone is saying that Nisbet is a world class superstar.

But he certainly would have been an improvement to our midfield, and is the type of character who would have been good to have around the dressing room.

It will be interesting indeed to see how he adapts to a relegation battle in the Scottish highlands, (assuming Ross County are involved in one but pretty sure Ross County will be better for having him in their squad than not having him.

Guys like Campbell and NMW have incredible energy, Newell too. They'll run all day for you, just often in the wrong direction.

Look at Celtic's 2nd, theres no lack of effort or energy from the midfield trying to win the ball it's just all focussed on the wrong areas.

If that's the main thing Nisbet brings then I can understand us not being interested. Need quality and positional sense more than legs i reckon.

Theres a difference between attitude and skill. Watch the goal again. There are 4 players trying hard to press and win the ball, then when it makes its way to McGregor Campbell is caught between leaving his man or closing down, because he's a very poor defender. Eventually closes him down and tries to get his body in the way.

They all had the attitude to go and win the ball they just did it very very badly.

Thats what we're talking about here we don't need more effort we need more quality.

I agree he didn't but Campbell thinks he does :rolleyes:.

Watch the video back again he knows Hatate is behind him that stops him charging out until too late.

A competent player in that position is either already ahead of his backline trusting his Centre Halfs or charging full steam as soon as the ball is on it's way to McGregor recognising that he is the danger.

Gray played a second striker as CDM against a champions league team, predictably he messed up defensively. Doesn't mean he lacks effort or energy.

[Forza Fred]

Nope, we signed Miller from Macarthur.

Triantis as you said, on loan from Sunderland.

I guess you can argue that they both played for Mariners at some point for CCM if it suits, bus as I say, I can’t think of a player we have signed directly from CCM.

He’s scored 7 career goals by 25 years old and never scored more than 3 in a season. He’s not really a goal threat.

Not scared to have a pop and assists which is more than can be said of every one of our 123 midfielder players barring Campbell

I think he would have been a good player to bring in, it obviously wouldn’t have been an expensive option either by where he’s ended up but it’s gone now he’s someone else’s player and we’ll see how he gets on.

Mate, you can use Wiki as your gospel reference if you wish,but given that I changed Martin Boyle’s city of birth on his page a few weeks ago, I tend not to use it as a source of truth.

He signed for Macarthur, from Mariners. Hibs came in before the season started and negotiated the transfer fee(about $500k)and paid the transfer fee to Macarthur, not Central Coast Mariners, because he was by then a Macarthur player.

A similar thing happened with Devlin at Hearts..He last played for Wellington but signed for Newcastle. Hearts came in and signed him before he played a game for Newcastle, but as he was Newcastle’s player that’s who got the transfer fee.

[EGL2000]

Pretty gutted vente only rumoured to be a loan. Was hoping we could recoup and good amount of the fee we paid for him. Value will fall dramatically if his contract runs down another year.

His contract at Mariners had expired at the end of the season and he had signed one with Macarthur.
Hibs approached Macarthur, negotiated a fee and paid the transfer fee to Macarthur.
Mariners had zero involvement in the transfer as he was no longer a Mariners player.

Might be similar to Melkersens move loan with an option to buy.

Fee will be lower than what we would of got this summer. I think Melkerson still had a couple of year at the point he moved so didn't impact value as much. That team would be able to pick him up for free if they waited 6 months after the loan.

I’ll get my coat 😂


baffling that so many on here were desperate for us to sign another midfield midget despite probably having never seen him play

will be interested to see how he does
A very insulting choice of words there, disrespectful.

Talking nonsense here mate.

Theres a difference between attitude and skill. Watch the goal again. There are 4 players trying hard to press and win the ball, then when it makes its way to McGregor Campbell is caught between leaving his man or closing down, because he's a very poor defender. Eventually closes him down and tries to get his body in the way.

They all had the attitude to go and win the ball they just did it very very badly.

Thats what we're talking about here we don't need more effort we need more quality.

Hopefully Kwon is the 1st piece of that.

Not sure our midfield on Sunday work as hard or are as organised as other teams
