Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[Since90+2]

I think if the player was keen to come to Hibs a deal would have been agreed by now. My gut feeling is he's hoping for something better to materialise, even if that means waiting until January.

That's not how it works.

The clubs need to agree a fee. It's how transfers work.

[Saint Hibee]

As others have said above am failing to get too excited about Bevan. Situation with him has dragged on and on and his injuries could be a real problem. Would rather see a more proven experienced centre half in. As for McCowan still holding out hope that we may get him. Think the fact that we are playing them on Saturday a big factor in all of this.

Agreed. I really don’t get why we’re so keen on him given his injury issues and lack of experience. But who knows, maybe he’ll turn out to be the Bournemouth Baresi.

[Donegal Hibby]

Much he same stuffas before that Docherty has been saying though there is a podcast with Greechan and Banks about Hibs if anyone wants to listen to it here …..

we'll just have to wait to see if he goes to the Dundee fans at the end of the game and act like hes away......

Maybe block 7 could do a banner to entice him ?

The clubs might very well agree a fee, but the player can still turn down the move.

Of course, the poster is suggesting however that if the player wanted to move it would have happened already.

That's obviously not how transfers work though.

They have since changed this and it’s now saying:

‘McCowan's future creates an intriguing subplot, with Hibs having had two offers for the 26-year-old knocked back while a third offer is understood to be under consideration by the Dark Blues hierarchy.’

Great news, it’s still on!

He made significantly more starts and played significantly more minutes that season under Lennon because he was improving his all round game. Lennon was also in charge for more than that one season in the Championship.

When Lennon arrived he inherited a player who couldn’t get off the bench ahead of James Keatings in the cup final when we desperately needed a goal and when he left Boyle a key starter in the top flight and full Australian international.

In all competitions his numbers were better too under Lennon

15/16 - G/A every 204 mins
16/17 - G/A every 162 mins


I wasn't speaking about 16/17. He improved as a player in 16/17 though. He was good in our first season back up. Some great games from right wing back and right midfield.

I agree that he improved over time in his Hibs career, as each season went on - I've said that previously. I'm just not having it that he had poor decision making and crap final delivery in his early days with us, as has been suggested. I think his development was gradual, and whilst he improved under Lennon, I wouldn't say it was on overnight thing as result of Lennon coming in. Enough of this though, not for the transfer thread!

You're "just not having it"!!?

No one said his final delivery was "crap" stop making things up.

It's only an opinion. Why not get all het up about something worthwhile.

FWIW the group of people I go to games with were often frustrated at the amount of times he got himself into good positions and picked the wrong pass or shot when he could have laid it off. That was mixed in with some obvious good play. Those frustrations disappeared over time obviously but there was a noticeable uptick in his composure under Lennon. I don't think that's even up for discussion but you dont have to have it if you don't want to.

That’s not correct, any club a player was registered to on loan before their 23rd birthday are still entitled to solidarity payments.

The reason we are getting “hee haw” is due to the fact his transfer to Cardiff is within the same national association.

[Unseen work]

Will fish only turned 21 in February.

Still a young boy.

Decent player and will improve a lot I think, hope he grows into a leader and a bit more aggressive.

Wish him all the best

Are there possible payments for the development of youngsters loaned internationally then?

When a player transfers internationally, all clubs who were involved in training that player between the ages of 12 and 23 are entitled to a share of 5% of the transfer fee. That includes any clubs the player was at on loan.

So Ian Gordon didn't sign off on Delfierres contract being extended for years despite showing absolutely nothing to warrant it? I could pick other examples but Ian Gordon is not a football man and has no business being involved in player recruitment and contracts. He is the owner yes and ultimately will have final say but should have the wherewithal to know he has no experience in these matters and is ultimately damaging the club.

Sitting laughing at half time with his mate Malky whilst we had just been rolled over by celtic spoke volumes for me. Hibs are a community club not a vanity project

Whoever comes in ala McKay managers have to entertain the owner this is the sad place we have gotten into. Club is now out of reach fan influence or ownership like hearts sadly.

I just seen Burnley have a loan with a 15m obligation/option for a Chelsea defender with one season of games for Swansea. Fish now has more senior games at the same age, if he has one decent spell in the low end Championship on loan he could very well be closer to 10m than 2m come the end of it such is the market at the moment.

[CentreLine]

Stats dont back that up.

He had a better goals and assists rate per game in the league under Stubbs in 15/16 than he did under Lennon in 16/17.

His real huge improvement came when Jack Ross was appointed.

I think the major improvement Lennon imposed on Boyle was that he stopped falling over at the slightest gust of wind. That one thing ensured that he would go on to realise his potential.

Also said that Duk still isn't at the club. I wonder what will happen with him. I notice someone has had good fun with his WIKI

https://i.ibb.co/vzZVtSK/Screenshot-20240823-104837.png (https://ibb.co/XJSjwqv)

A proven goalscorer in our league. Like Shankland. I hope even with big Myko we try and sign him (Nisbet not Duk).

Not a chance he's staying in Scotland IMO.

[04Sauzee]

I agree this is clearly pie in the sky, but Armstrong is the type of signing that would be transformational. If there was even the remotest chance of getting him, we should throw everything at it.

54 appearances for club and country last season. I'm surprised he's not got a club yet, reckon he will get a nice club abroad or top end English championship

Strange decision imo. If you’ve made absolutely zero impact in the first team by the time you’re 20 then I find it hard to see how you can be deemed to be worth a 4 year contract extension.

Yip. Getting tied down to a four year contract, certainly with a higher wage, is a leap of faith for someone who is no better than the rest.

Extended contracts should be a reward for good past performances in the first team, and not on the basis that he did ok for Airdrie, and a few minutes here and there in the 1st team at ER.

[GreenPJ]

I think Gray and MacKay probably see him as being first team fullback in 12-18 months. I suspect he will get a loan for this season or at least until January and then at some point next season it will become a straight fight between Miller and Megwa. Cadden will either have been moved to right midfield or maybe even CB or will be moved on.

[Smartie]

Will likely get shot down but Megwa isn't someone I rate. Gray does and that's the important thing.

I've liked the little I've seen of him but accept that he's a youngster with a few rough edges.

I'd probably rather see him work on those rough edges than the more expensive yet still raw and imperfect alternatives he seems to have ahead of him in the queue for a first team slot at RB.

There might yet end up being a role for him on the right of a back 3 fairly soon tbh. There's probably not much between Ekpiteta, Rocky, Miller and himself for that role if we wanted to stick with 3 at the back.

not seen enough of him personally But did well at Airdrie , and young player of the year last year . So clearly doing something right Hopefully Gray is right and he continues to work hard and improve .

[Keepthefaith]

So just to sum up, we want young players to get opportunities but just not the current crop? We don't rate him but trust the managers opinions. We don't trust the manager, he'll never make it at Hibs if he hasn't by the time he was 20 and were repeating the same mistakes. We do rate him and he'll go on to be a great player. That sums it up?!

IIRC when the players spoke preseason about who is most likely to break through/ who had most potential, I think megwa was named by most of them? Agree though that if he's trusted with a long contract he needs to be given first team opportunity alongside that, with CB looking the most likely option?

Aye, kind of how I see it. Just think he’s at an age where he needs to be playing and he’s probably third choice in his position at the moment.

I’d think another loan would be likely but I don’t think one to the Championship would get him any closer to playing for us regularly. He’s ticked that bit off, needs to start playing at this level.

Thanks. I suspect that we will either extend Miller's contract or at very least take the extension. Cadden, its a big season for him - he will only be 28 at end of the season so prime age although not sure if Cadden will play at a higher level although he could definitely make more money down south at a League One/lower Championship club although not sure he would have the same game time.

Tough one, think Miller has probably been best player both games against Celtic so can't see him being dropped.

Could maybe come in and partner O’Hora at CB? Dundee don't really have a bully upfront, unless they start Main, which I doubt. So could be a good game for him. Appreciate Murray is an experienced pest.

I'm sure Megwa has played at CB for U18 level and you could also also play miller at CB if we go with 3 at the back.

Cadden as been mostly used at RW/RM whatever you want to call it so that's probably where Gray feels his best position.

I'm just wanting the young lad to be given a chance in the first team after the introduction from Rudi, which shows no harm being patient but eventually giving them the opportunity.

[GreenCastle]

Megwa is a weird one as I think back to young good players over the years at Hibs and seeing stand out potential and games etc. You could even argue Rudi has done more than Megwa in a shorter space of time.

I watched him at Airdrie and yes he did pretty well but at the same time I still think he has a long way to go and a real weakness of his is heading the ball. For his size teams will exploit that - Stevenson was small but was decent enough in the air.

It would be nice for Megwa to push on and contribute more - I just hope it isn’t another long contract and little return.

Maybe it’s still a lack of trust I still have with recruitment / management to reward players with longer deals without doing too much.

Maybe it is easier for forward thinking players to break through at a young age. Size is a factor in any position but a defender who isn't that big already has more to do. I watched him when the Dev team played in teh Cup and he really has some jump on him and isn't afraid to mix it. He looks to have a chance to me and he just needs to find a position that suits him at this level. I always wondered if he could play DM as he is really good on the ball and seems very relaxed when in possession. I can't see him playing in a two at centre back and even a three I think big forwards would peel on to his side. Loads of ability and hopefully teh length of contract is an indication that SDG feels there is plenty to come.

I think the Megwa deal is a good one, if a bit long.

Good young player though who appeared to be a standout in the championship

If we released him or offered him out now I dare say a fair few premiership teams would be after him.

[04Sauzee]

Don't know why it came into my head but what ever happend to that boy we had with us in Dubai from Leeds? I think it was Leeds, a young CB I think.

[Northernhibee]

This says Nisbet to Aberdeen is agreed and that we were tracking him too . I just don’t think we were TBH .

He will score goals for them, I just wouldn’t take him back. We heard lots about his attitude having improved after a stint in lower league football but the main thing about him is that it’s his attitude that’s stopping him from filling his potential.

Maybe a 2 year deal with an option of a further 2 if he broke into the 1st team? Having not seen much of him it’s hard to judge, we may regret another long deal or it may turn out to be a master stroke. I think a lot of fans are just very wary of any long deals to players who have yet to prove they are good regular contributors. Trust is thin on the ground with Hibs atm but it’s all you can do. 🤞 Hope the lad becomes a smashing player for us.

He won’t be on big money. 4 year deal is about right for both parties.

You’re probably right, without knowing all the details it’s hard to really comment, I just hope it works out.

[JohnM1875]

Bit frustrating there hasn't been any significant movement in and out this week. Still need a few players added and plenty out the door. Very rare we announce signings at the weekend so we'll be going into the last week of the window with plenty still to do.

Surely we're confident of McCowan signing? If not and he doesn't I hope we've already had discussions with the second choice and their team.

I thought we might have signed a goalkeeper. Don’t rate either goalie we have at the moment.

It’s a concern, especially for me as I don’t do patience very well, I like everything to be sorted quickly. If McCowan had been done and dusted I’d be quite happy to wait to see if deadline day threw up any surprises but that midfield has been needing sorted for seasons now.

There’s no doubt he will as he’s a quality striker though with Myko and Bowie I don’t think we needed to strengthen upfront as much as we do midfield and defence.

It always felt like he was wanting away when we had him .There’s been rumours on the Millwall forum of a bit of a rift with their manager and of him missing training . Signing McCowan would make us more stronger than signing Nisbet would which is the one I hope we can get done .

You’d like to think Kwon goes straight into the team. But he can’t fix that midfield on his own.

Another week of Campbell and Newell probably. Depressing thought!

I can just about handle another week if I was convinced it was going to be improved after tomorrow. That’s the bit that’s got me very nervous as I’m not sure it will be. 🙏

[Donegal Hibby]

After listening to some of this , skipped some of it to get to the Hibs bit , about Scottish teams in Europe, post match nae badges , McInnes or just skip to 53 : 00 for the hibs bit ……

Do they have a plan B, i hope so otherwise we are in trouble with Campbell and Newell in midfield every week....

[Frogga]

Just about sums it up - this is a club that chucks unjustified long them contracts around, saddling us with gross for years on end. I wish him well & hope he is the exception.A lot of English teams seem to be doing this now as well - keeping younger players well into their 20s and just loaning them out every year. An example is Bevan signing a long-term deal with Bournmouth and appears to be nowhere near their first XI.

I think it's seen as a win-win. Keep a player as long-term cover and (hopefully) get a fee from another club in that time.

It was the Championship. He won some club player of the month awards while on loan. The coach, his team mates and the fans thought very highly of him.

Aye sorry that was what I meant … **** knows why I said League 1 [emoji15][emoji16]

🔵 Matt O’Riley to Brighton, here we go! Agreement sealed as reported earlier as #BHAFC complete one more massive signing.

Celtic to receive £25m fixed fee plus add-ons up to £30m package, record fee in Scotland.

O’Riley and Kadioglu, done deals. 🇩🇰🇹🇷

Probably not a good thing for us I guess, if they are getting that money they might chuck a million at Dundee for McCowan?

Why would they want him? He’s nowhere near O’Riley’s level.

If they wanted McCowan they'd have got him by now. A million isn't anything to Celtic, and they'll want someone better than McCowan to replace O'Riley.

[hfc-1875]

He has been linked and I don’t think the Celtic fans would be happy if they only brought him in but was thinking they may go for him and another like for like replacement for O’riley.

That’s possible but I get the impression that Rogers is pretty fixated on Europe and everything they do is to push that side. He knows the league is a dawdle. All that could be rubbish of course.

Yeah when Celtic were first mentioned I was concerned but when you consider the money they’re bringing in from sales and Europe, they’ll be looking at 2-3 players at £5-10m to boost their squad. And if they needed a Scot for home grown quota then they could either get a youngster with future sell on (Lennon Miller) or pick up Stuart Armstrong on a free.
