Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[MWHIBBIES]

They employ people to run the club, it would have been easier for the family to sell up, when Ron passed

I wish they had.

[supermcginn]

Rumours of a player being included in latest offer for McCowan, they weren't interested in Levitt or Campbell a few weeks ago I wonder if something has changed or possibly JDH or Kenneh might be thrown in.

Both. :wink:

All of them!

[A Hi-Bee]

He’s turned out to be an absolute spiv.

Always has been, although getting the most for yourself and your client is the ultimate Capitalist process.
The players has to get what is best for him in a relatively short career.
I think we need more than one player in the middle of the park to turn us around.

£850k and a player?!

Definitely won't be Campbell. It might be what someone on Twitter meant with 'Levitt… that’s gonna upset a few'

[Real Emerald]

:greengrin:greengrin:greengrin:thumbsup: Can’t tell the difference. Can’t believe it actually.

It’s utterly butterly, can’t believe it’s not butterpack. 😂😂

[Golden Bear]

As we all know it takes two parties to tango so even although Dundee FC were happy with our bid then that's no guarantee that the player will agree to come to ER.

Wages will be a major factor and who can blame anyone for preferring to go to the Club that offers the highest potential earnings and onfield success.

It's the way of the world whether we like it or not.

Didn't he have a clause in his contract at United that gave him a proportion of all transfer fees?

[Sioux]

Twitter says Levitt.

Twitter never said anything at all. Have you not worked out what X actually is?

[04Sauzee]

Boy who works for tnt sports

So Notts County have kept Jones & Crowley, have Palmer available again, and have signed a whole host of defensive reinforcements.

Think they can be pretty with that at Meadow Lane!

[Smartie]

Don't know how you can say that. His job is to get the best possible deal for his client. He's doing that.

BTW Simon Donnelly works there as well to deepen the Celtic connection.

The situation that saw him profit from transfer dealings in his role as Dundee United manager as they plummeted very fast from a strong on-field position was distasteful.

Several dodgy stories from his time at York.

And here he pops up here “getting the best deal for his client”.

He’s an utter spiv.

[California-Hibs]

Figure going around in Twitter is 900K we've now bidded for McCowan! Absolutely fair play to the board for at least trying to pull this one off and spending that kinda cash. I guess we aren't skint like some people would have you believe...

[SHODAN]

Twitter never said anything at all. Have you not worked out what X actually is?

What a hostile response to an innocuous comment.

[hibee-boys]

What a career ender signing for Celtic

He’ll be another Scott Allan, coin in a few quid but will undoubtedly spend the majority of his prime years warming the bench then out on loan.

[A Hi-Bee]

Didn't he have a clause in his contract at United that gave him a proportion of all transfer fees?

He sure did.
smart move.

[Sioux]

I think McNamara might have played a blinder here. Getting info from his contacts at Celtic and holding out until they say "sorry we're not interested", or pony up if they fail with other targets. Fks up both Dundee and Hibs whilst keeping himself as one of the bhoys.

[Sioux]

What a hostile response to an innocuous comment.

:greengrin I forgot about this.

[SHODAN]

This gunning for McGowan is pretty reassuring after the abject disappointment of earlier; if we're this committed then it probably means we have a second option lined up if it falls through.

[Since90+2]

I'm not buying Celtic have offered 500k compared to our 750k. 250k is absolutely peanuts to them, if they want him they'd just chuck the extra money in.

[Pytheas]

He’ll be another Scott Allan, coin in a few quid but will undoubtedly spend the majority of his prime years warming the bench then out on loan.

And as Allan's career path later proved, that was absolutely the correct decision.

Players have to maximise their earnings while their stock is high.

McCowan will choose whoever pays him most, Hibs over Dundee, Celtic over both.

[SHODAN]

:greengrin I forgot about this.

Fair, apologies for taking it the wrong way. I refuse to call it X mate. :wink:

[The Harp Awakes]

Question is, is he worth it? Nearly as much as McGinn cost.

[JohnM1875]

Wouldn't put it past them. Biscuit tin mentality.

They've spent £20m this window so far. On two players.

[HoboHarry]

Contacts at Celtic? He left Celtic nearly 20 years ago and it wasn't in great circumstances, think his agent got banned from Celtic Park IIRC.

[Is It On....]

I honestly don't believe Hibs, or any club out with the ugly sisters, should be even contemplating paying that sort of money for a player far less someone in the final year of his contract. It smacks of desperation, not ambition.

[The Harp Awakes]

They've spent £20m this window so far. On two players.

Aye but took £30m in for 1 player. They've got a track record for low all bids for Scottish based players.

[Heisenberg]

Just feel we are going to be left with no McCowan and no other option signed because it’s too late. Soon as Celtc actually bid we are done

[JohnM1875]

I honestly don't believe Hibs, or any club out with the ugly sisters, should be even contemplating paying that sort of money for a player far less someone in the final year of his contract. It smacks of desperation, not ambition.

Completely agree about the fee, not about the desperation part. Nothing wrong with going for your number one target.

[Hibernian Verse]

That’s no barometer

[cabbageandribs1875]

He’s turned out to be an absolute spiv.

some agents look after their dudes by giving them career advice

others are interested in the agents fee, i wonder which one McNamara jr falls into

[JohnM1875]

Aye but took £30m in for 1 player. They've got a track record for low all bids for Scottish based players.

9 times out of 10 it works though. Up to other clubs to be stronger with them.

[SHODAN]

Happy we're shelling out for someone we think is worth it, but it will put an awful lot of pressure on the player to deliver.

:greengrin

[Gordy M]

One of the Dundee fans saying £850k plus £200k in add ons.

[Glory Lurker]

If we've really offered £900k, I hope either Celtc outbid is or we mess up a fax, or whatever young office types use these days, and botch the signing. That would be mad money.

[Green-Hibee-7]

Money has went mad in football. In my head £750k+ for someone signing for us needs to be someone that could almost single handily drag us up the league table. I’m honestly not sure if he is the player to do that. Time will tell if it gets over the line.

I’m in two minds about praise for the recruitment/board for trying to get McCowan. Yeah, I like the ambition, but if we don’t get it done and are left with what we have until January, I do fear the worst.

[WestStandWillie]

McNamara was a crap manager and a crap CEO so he’ll likely be a crap agent also.

That said, he’s definitely been talking to his pals at Celtic

[cabbageandribs1875]

The rocket ship has been built, we are on the launchpad, and we just need the fuel to take off.

[Donegal Hibby]

I don’t . If it’s true then it shows how much Gray and Hibs want him so I hope we get him .

[Northernhibee]

We’re having our pants pulled down here.

[Smartie]

If we've really offered £900k, I hope either Celtc outbid is or we mess up a fax, or whatever young office types use these days, and botch the signing. That would be mad money.

I think I’m on board with it if he’s 4 or more years younger, as it could be classed as “speculate to accumulate”.

As it stands, he’s a player about to give his peak years to someone and I get that we really could do with a cracking midfielder at his peak for 2-3 years?

Does it make financial sense? It makes much more financial sense than some of our recent dealings but I can’t say I don’t have my reservations.

[SaulGoodman]

I hope we have bid 900k cause it means we might be ***** but we’re ****ing loaded. Edinburgh Man Utd.

[Coco Bryce]

I hope we have bid 900k cause it means we might be ***** but we’re ****ing loaded. Edinburgh Man Utd.

This is where I am at. You could bring in two if not three high quality free agents for that money. Crazy, crazy borderline insane bid.

[HoboHarry]

We’re having our pants pulled down here.
No we aren't. We will have a maximum number that we are willing to pay and if it's too expensive we can walk away any time.

[Waxy]

We’ve got McCowan
Super Luke McCowan


Sorry just checking if he fits the song

[Smartie]

We’re having our pants pulled down here.

As we get deep into the dying embers of a transfer window locked in a complex love pentagon with Jackie McNamara, Celtic and others I feel someone has a responsibility to deliver the “Mikey Forrester? Russian sailors? What the f*** are you boys on?” line, or whatever it was.

[04Sauzee]

Was still expecting a few more outs, no update on Delferriere

[Wilson]

You reckon. I think we'd bring in a quantity of free agents but how much quality would be anyone's guess!

I like the prospect that we have a number one target and we actually go out and get him. It would be a nice change. I'm surprised (although I shouldn't be) and the number of posters trying to spin it negatively.

[A Hi-Bee]

Was still expecting a few more outs, no update on Delferriere

[Unseen work]

[JimBHibees]

McCowan's agent must be greasing the palms of various Scottish footie journalists. This "Expected Celtic bid" s***e is doing a lot of heavy lifting...

Agree amazing what being an ex Celtic player can do. Succulent lamb

[HendoDelivered]

Jamie Borthwick saying club also working on centre half, replaying to a supporter asking the question.

[greenlex]

I like the prospect that we have a number one target and we actually go out and get him. It would be a nice change. I'm surprised (although I shouldn't be) and the number of posters trying to spin it negatively.

I think many of us have just been shaped by the frugal but ultimately safe Petrie era and are a bit wary as a result.

As you say though - us identifying a number one target then pulling out all the stops to secure him is something that should really be applauded.

[dp00]

No gonna lie I expected there to have been quite a few out the door today and 2/3 in the door already

[Houston7]

No we aren't. We will have a maximum number that we are willing to pay and if it's too expensive we can walk away any time.

Presumably we knew we had no chance of getting Mark O’Hara from St Mirren. It was suggested that £900k was quoted for him. Better value, I think, and we would not be competing with Celtic.

It's Dundee and McCowan's agent's show to run, especially with interest from Celtc. If he's the player we really want, there's nothing else we can do but play along and hope to get him in the end.

[Heisenberg]

4th bid rejected apparently

[CockneyRebel]

I don’t . If it’s true then it shows how much Gray and Hibs want him so I hope we get him .

The money for McCowan is not big in football terms but is huge for Hib's budget and from what I've seen of him we have offered too much already. A good player yes but no superstar and getting closer and closer to £1m is way too much IMO. We shouldn't be bidding anyway if Celtic are involved. He will choose them even if we were to bid more than Celtic.

Just you keep on being mr doom and gloom, no matter what we do this window it will never please you

[Northernhibee]

I’m inclined to agree but that’s the game we have to play.

That’s it. We need him and all parties know it.

When I worked in sales, I had a boss who always said it was worth doing your worst deals money wise at the start of the quarter. You may have to give a couple of hundred quid extra discount than you wanted, but it took that person out of the market and if you get to the end of the quarter short of where you need to be, you’ll be doing stupid deals just to get someone to buy as you’ll be competing with everyone else who left it too late.

We needed to go big early with our two targets so we can either say “shove it” when they want big money and move onto someone else, or stop this becoming a long winded process where we can be played like a fiddle.


I’ll be pleased if we sign him but the money being reported is ****ing ludicrous.

[number9dream]

Surely the only way we get McCowan is if Celtic don’t make an offer, so is it wise to jump back in with a higher bid?

Transfer window is open for over 2 months but here we are going down to the wire in the last 2 hours. It's like leaving Christmas shopping until the fag end of Christmas Eve when there is nowt left to buy or you panic, pay over the odds and buy sh*te.

Seems to me Hibs are desperate now and Dundee are playing us like a fiddle by Celtic hawking around upping the money to stupid levels.

None of us know how this will play out but Hibs transfer strategy is really odd.
It’s mostly always like this for good players.
The selling club have to maximise profit and wont agree till very late in the day.

[FilipinoHibs]

Delf a real talent, not given a proper run by any of our recent managers.

Don't lose sleep over McGowan, done nothing against a poor Hibs team. Let Celtic kill his career but make him wealthy.

[A Hi-Bee]

Seems to me the club are damned if they do and damned if they don’t.

Its always Hibs fault when there are numerous reasons its taking this long.

Can you explain how the strategy should work out if Hibs are doing it wrong?

I blame Petrie.
A million in todays football is not that much.
Sure we will bring in others if required.

[greenlex]

Time to walk away was a few days ago, there's only three hours left. Medicals etc take time as well.

If celtic seriously want him he's going there , they will dangle a wage infront of him that we won't be able to co.e close to

[Ronniekirk]

I didn’t read what was being posted as a dig at Hibs, more a view on how our transfer strategy is going.

It’s a perfectly valid view to think we’re playing this badly. We’ve left Dundee with no reason to keep rejecting offers until the last minute. They can see we’re desperate and are willing to keep increasing the offer.

People moaning about those who don’t think everything is rosy at Hibs is way more draining than those questioning if everything is rosy at Hibs.

[The Harp Awakes]

To be fair most people working there at the time should have realised two bookings was a suspension

It must be boring for fans of other teams, i could be totally wrong but i really dont remember like Aberdeen Hearts etc making any deadline signings?

Go back in January and offer him a decent signing on wedge and wait until summer or offer Dundee peanuts.

It’s looking like it’ll be Triantis. Innocent maybe instead of McCowan or is he a proper defensive mid and not able to play the same kind of role?

Signing a CH to play CM is a mental decision.

I thought Triantis looked all right in midfield but it’s no a signing that is going to improve us.

[S4uzee]

It’s an attacking midfielder we need, not another defensive one. There must surely be a plan B if McCowan falls through.

Play Levitt attacking midfield in his natural position. He's suffered from being played out of position so far.

[Bridge hibs]

Who said McCowan will solve everything, apart from you ?

A naive question maybe, but who is revealing and to whom is all this up to the minute info about bids and rejected bids being made? It’s quite farcical.

Worth saying we've got rid of a lot of players in sales and loans. Decent job of trimming down a bloated team and will hopefully help us pay for a couple more signings in the next couple of hours...

Newell is not good enough for a Hibs team wanting to challenge for Europe. I don’t get why so many people keep thinking he should start when he’s constantly poor in games.

[cabbageandribs1875]

500k isn’t a lot now a days unfortunately, I’m honestly not convinced it would get us much quality


i wonder how much salary a £1m player would expect to receive, we would have to make big signings every season, the BK's aren't putting that amount in each season, if not then that's one player making a colossal amount more than someone playing alongside him

[Since452]

Really hope the Triantis chat isn't true

[Northernhibee]

Newell is not good enough for a Hibs team wanting to challenge for Europe. I don’t get why so many people keep thinking he should start when he’s constantly poor in games.

I think he’s better more advanced than he is in the 6 role.

Or if we have two more physical and mobile players like Kwon and Triantis it might allow us to try Levitt in a free roam sort of position where he can pick up space and not have the same pressure

[Heisenberg]

We need creativity from the middle of the park. The thought of that midfield is a bit depressing for me .

That’s the main worry for me, there’s nothing going forward in that midfield at all. Newell drives up the park at times but it’s rare

[Hibees1973]

Just had a look back at the first page of the thread.

The loans in/out, transfers in/out, shake it all about has now reached ridiculous levels.

Not sure if anyone follows transfers for other clubs, but there cannot be many clubs in Europe with as much movement as us in one transfer window. Certainly not an organised, stable club.

Not really sure what the criteria was when some organisation called us the 5th best run club in Britain. Successful transfers wouldn't have been a measure.

[cabbageandribs1875]

[Smartie]

Lack of creativity and that little spark makes it easy for the opposition to organise their defensive formation and frustrate us.

I predict we’ll get him with the 11th bid at the 11th hour. Mind you, Celtic will probably get him with their first bid. Joking apart, all this fannying about with McCowan has to be distracting our guys from the need for serious alternative possibilities.

At the start of the window, folk said we needed 2 x ch, 2 x cf, keeper and defensive mid and a massive clear out. As far as i can see thats been done? Now you can argue about quality etc but to say there has been no strategy/plan is clearly not correct?

[LunasBoots]

800k for McCowan with a year left on contract is a fair offer

Triantis was decent in midfield. He’d be a good option.

That Motherwell game was probably the last time we had a midfield that looked the part in a game against top level opposition.

I have no issue with him as a midfielder.

I hope to never see him play as a CH ever again.
