Summer transfer thread 2024/25

[cabbageandribs1875]

i take it this is triantis

News is filtering through to us from Easter Road.
A familiar face is potentially returning...


i'm hoping it's SJM

[The Harp Awakes]

2hrs to go.

Is this the point where Ian Gordon & Ben Kensell get on the phone to Bill Foley. 'Bill, you know that we stooshie we had. Well, bygones. Help.'

Looks like Foley and Gordon's relationship still festering.

[SHODAN]

I am fine with Triantis coming back IF he isn't the second option after McCowan.

Hardly any time left for McCowan to get to EM and have his medical.

[JohnM1875]

I am fine with Triantis coming back IF he isn't the second option after McCowan.

Even for Hibs that would be mental, surely he can't be McCowan backup option...

[007]

I can smell the pish from here.

It's time you changed your underwear. 😯

[greenlex]

It’s pretty clear we don’t have much of a plan - I can’t imagine the signing of Nicky Cadden for example required a lot of thought
We were looking at Nicky Cadden before last season ended. Fact.

[GloryGlory]

Or Marcondes

Meatball! :greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

The club are close to agreeing a loan deal with Sunderland for Nectarios Triantis.
The player was at Easter Road last season after the then-boss Nick Montgomery brought the Australian to Easter Road.
If a deal is completed he is likely to be brought in as a defensive midfielder rather than a centre-back.

[Is It On....]

i take it this is triantis

Familiar face...Derek Riordan... could he still do a job for us 🤔😂

[WestStandWillie]

Can’t believe we’ve went in for Triantis again. Absolutely staggered by that.

[Smartie]

Have to think (hope?) that if we are still chasing McCowan at this late stage it's because we have a loan lined up from somewhere in the BK's group who will join instead if it doesn't come off.

I think that’s a fairly optimistic interpretation of how this arrangement is meant to work out.

Bailing us out at the 11th hour after we’ve failed to get our business done is unlikely to be what it’s all about - although helping us improve our squad in January with mutually acceptable loans I’d expect to be the case.

[jeffers]

We were looking at Nicky Cadden before last season ended. Fact.

:agree:

[Coco Bryce]

Marcondes was in Greggs on Leith Walk earlier today 🤔

[Exuberance1875]

Triantis is not a good signing at all - was far from good enough last season

[greenlex]

I am fine with Triantis coming back IF he isn't the second option after McCowan.
I think both will be here.

[Exuberance1875]

Marcondes was in Greggs on Leith Walk earlier today 🤔

Hahaha

[Rumble de Thump]

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.

The club has done very well to move on so many players and bring in so many players that the new head coach wants. Someone pretending that's worthy of slagging off the club is mental.

[HoboHarry]

I am fine with Triantis coming back IF he isn't the second option after McCowan.
Why would he be? They are different types of players.

[One Day Soon]

On the bright side failing to sign McCowan takes away the fear of making a big signing for our midfield.

[Joe6-2]

Have to think (hope?) that if we are still chasing McCowan at this late stage it's because we have a loan lined up from somewhere in the BK's group who will join instead if it doesn't come off.

Like to think so

[Jones28]

Marcondes was in Greggs on Leith Walk earlier today 🤔

What did he have?

[The Harp Awakes]

Marcondes was in Greggs on Leith Walk earlier today 🤔

If it was Greggs in Easter Road it would be a goer.

[cabbageandribs1875]

Familiar face...Derek Riordan... could he still do a job for us 🤔😂


it's Garry O'


in the Tony Higgins role

[SHODAN]

Why would he be? They are different types of players.

Then I don't see the negativity around the signing. He's fine as a DM.

[HoboHarry]

Then I don't see the negativity around the signing. He's fine as a DM.
If he's back to play in his true position then he's a good addition to the squad.

[Tambo]

Cantwell to Blackburn.

Mon Hibs, some of us are getting tired and want some news.

[ChuckNor]

Stunned with the potential signing of Triantis. He was at the heart of much that was wrong with Nick Montgomery's team last season. A step backward. I thought we were moving forward?

[Jones28]

Montgomery was at the heart of what went wrong last season.

Nonsense.

[Musselbound]

Then I don't see the negativity around the signing. He's fine as a DM.

How many do we need though? We've just got Kwon on loan.

[ChuckNor]

No Bournemouth loanees? Perhaps all hasn't healed between Hibs and BKFC

[blackpoolhibs]

Keep the money Hibs, save ourselves £1m and just play Triantis instead.

He doubles as a centre half too, win win.

[Smartie]

If he's back to play in his true position then he's a good addition to the squad.

Is his true position not CH… where he’s pish?

He was very good more often than not in his makeshift position.

[HoboHarry]

How many do we need though? We've just got Kwon on loan.
Kwon can't play against Celtic and we also have to assume that he'll miss at least some games through suspension etc.

[Hiber-nation]

Then I don't see the negativity around the signing. He's fine as a DM.

We need more than fine. Nice footballer. As is Levitt.

[K-Zazu]

Is Gray wanting to get sacked? Triantis Campbell and Newell midfield trio coming up.

[Exuberance1875]

A midfield of Campbell, Triantis and Sleepy Joe…sign me up…..

[Northernhibee]

How many do we need though? We've just got Kwon on loan.

What if Kwon gets injured, and who do we play against Celtic in that position?

[HoboHarry]

Is his true position not CH… where he’s pish?

He was very good more often than not in his makeshift position.
Which I'm hoping Gray saw enough of to know that it's really his true position.

[1875Sean]

Was really hoping for better than triantis

[blackpoolhibs]

what if kwon gets injured, and who do we play against celtic in that position?
jdh.

[DunblaneHibby]

Stunned with the potential signing of Triantis. He was at the heart of much that was wrong with Nick Montgomery's team last season. A step backward. I thought we were moving forward?

Cant agree. He was poor at CH but fine at defensive mid

[Coco Bryce]

A midfield of Campbell, Triantis and Sleepy Joe…sign me up…..

Frightening stuff!

[Smartie]

No sign of Kenneh going anywhere?

Not sure having him kicking about picking up a big wage and playing zero football will be in anybody’s interests.

[Since452]

Nonsense.

It's not really. A honking signing by a honking manager and we're bringing him back. If that's how far wide our player search is then I'm genuinely worried. All this talk about McCowan for weeks and we're going to end up with a rubbish CB shoehorned into midfield, again.

[Tambo]

Sterling to arsenal would be a good move for them I think, 8 goals and 4 assists last season maybe not the greatest numbers, i think Arteta could get something out of him.

[JimBHibees]

Frightening stuff!

Kwon and Rudi also

[The Harp Awakes]

Is Gray wanting to get sacked? Triantis Campbell and Newell midfield trio coming up.

Look at the positives. We'll have the best tippy tappy pass rate across the half way line in the league.

[Northernhibee]

Triantis wasn’t honking.

Are you thinking of a goose by chance?

[hibby rae]

Wow Triantis, I am overf***ingwhelmed.

Mackay has really earned his 'best man for the job moniker' this summer.

[blackpoolhibs]

What if Kwon gets injured, and who do we play against Celtic in that position?

Have you forgotten about jdh?

[ruthven_raiders]

What if Kwon gets injured, and who do we play against Celtic in that position?

Also if we played Celtic in the Scottish cup final, we would need someone to replace Kwon 🤣🤣

[Unseen work]

Triantis coming in must mean at least one of

Kenneh
JDH
Amos
Levitt

Is away

[Greencore]

Never a dull moment supporting hibs🤣

[greenlex]

Have you forgotten about jdh?
Won’t be here.

[Smartie]

Have you forgotten about jdh?

Hibs might have.

[California-Hibs]

Honestly if we don't sign a decent new midfielder and go with what we have or even just add Triantis, we are in for a long depressing season. What the hell is going on here?!

[ericd7]

Have you forgotten about jdh?

Pretty sure everyone has yeah.

[IanM]

Wow Triantis, I am overf***ingwhelmed.

Probably reading all the negativity here and other platforms. I'm a Hibby, but I'd think twice!

If you think Triantis is honking then you need to take off the blinkers. He isn't.

[Paul1642]

Out of all the players we had on loan last season I would unfortunately put Triantis about last in terms of who I’d want back. He wasn’t bad but it’s not an exciting one at all.

[Hibees1973]

If we had a defensive midfield target you would like to think there would be at least a dozen ahead of Triantis.

A sign things aren't going well today.

[tam4hibs]

If you think Triantis is honking then you need to take off the blinkers. He isn't.

Part of the squad that could only muster 8th.

Hes Honking imo.

[Smartie]

Out of all the players we had on loan last season I would unfortunately put Triantis about last in terms of who I’d want back. He wasn’t bad but it’s not an exciting one at all.

If we’d only signed a creative midfielder so far and were needing a bit of defensive balance to the midfield then I think he might be a near ideal candidate.

Given where we are right now I don’t think he’s top of the list but I definitely think he’s a player whose signing makes a degree of sense.

[jonny]

Probably reading all the negativity here and other platforms. I'm a Hibby, but I'd think twice!

You think it's bad here, should've had a look at Kickback last night. Really cheered me up and made me realise that we're definitely not the most fickle or negative fans in Edinburgh 😂

[HoboHarry]

If we had a defensive midfield target you would like to think there would be at least a dozen ahead of Triantis.

A sign things aren't going well today.
Can you give us a dozen examples of the quality we need and their availability or are you going to say the usual about how that's the job of Gray and MM to know that?

[Smartie]

Hes Honking imo.

So was Maolida, but we’d have welcomed him back with open arms.

[IanM]

Air mate - staggering.. I get he’s not the first signing we’d want but **** me.. if he’s signs he signs

[LunasBoots]

Wow Triantis, I am overf***ingwhelmed.

Trust the process 😉

[He's here!]

Keep the money Hibs, save ourselves £1m and just play Triantis instead.

He doubles as a centre half too, win win.

Yep, beats me why we're getting so despondent about McCowan not coming when we had Triantis waiting in the wings all along to resolve both our midfield and defensive woes.

[Groathillgrump]

Marcondes was in Greggs on Leith Walk earlier today 🤔

Impossible. Greggs on Leith Walk closed down weeks ago. :na na:

[7Hero]

Probably reading all the negativity here and other platforms. I'm a Hibby, but I'd think twice!

not one potential signing ever in the history of Hibernian FC came on here , read the threads, and made a decision not to come to the football club.

[Keepthefaith]

Out of all the players we had on loan last season I would unfortunately put Triantis about last in terms of who I’d want back. He wasn’t bad but it’s not an exciting one at all.

Why does he need to be exciting?

Agreed he made a lot of errors as CB but I actually thought he looked very good as DM. Assured on the ball, ability to keep possession, intercepted well.

So many folk losing their **** tonight when business isn't finished.

[greenlex]

Part of the squad that could only muster 8th.

Hes Honking imo.
Mind that time we got relegated with George Best in the team.?

[truehibernian]

Don’t mind Triantis at all, versatile and added height and physicality in that soft midfield. Need to add a creative midfielder though, that’s vital.

[Coco Bryce]

Impossible. Greggs on Leith Walk closed down weeks ago. :na na:

Must have been Storries then 😏

[hibby rae]

I struggle to think why we've signed him again

[Keepthefaith]

Funny how folk choose to ignore the process behind us securing Bowie who we'd apparently monitored for quite some time.

[Exuberance1875]

A fine evening to trust the process. Remember what Ben told us all

[easty]

Anyone trying to paint Triantis as a good signing is buttoned up the back.

I’ve been pretty positive about Hibs over the summer but this is horse ****.

[bordergreen]

The club are close to agreeing a loan deal with Sunderland for Nectarios Triantis.
The player was at Easter Road last season after the then-boss Nick Montgomery brought the Australian to Easter Road.
If a deal is completed he is likely to be brought in as a defensive midfielder rather than a centre-back.

I thought Triantis was good for us in midfield. Not a bad option. I think with time in the team he will come good. Good energy, good passer, good defensively. I liked him.

But, in saying that, I also thought Montgomery would be a great manager. So, what do I know…

[Silky]

not one potential signing ever in the history of Hibernian FC came on here , read the threads, and made a decision not to come to the football club.

[skyehibee]

Triantis screams of missing out on 3/4 targets and having to settle for him. Surely he was not high on the original list.

Which is the correct answer.:greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

West Bromwich Albion have re-signed Celtic's Republic of Ireland international Mikey Johnston for an undisclosed seven-figure fee.
The 25-year-old winger, who spent a successful loan at The Hawthorns over the second half of last season, has now signed a four-year contract with the Baggies, reportedly on a £3m price tag.

[tam4hibs]

Mind that time we got relegated with George Best in the team.?

Highlighting a team performance from 50 years ago to justify Triantis?
Clutching.

1. Did he improve our goals conceded? Was he the CDM to protect the back we all hoped?
2. If not, did he provide many assists? Or how many scored?
3. If not, chance creation? Dribbles completed?

I can see with my own eyes he didn’t bring much to the team. File under Jimmy Jeggo. Brian Kerr etc. And I’m pretty sure the three points above / stats would back up my view.

Accepting mediocrity.

[Hibees1973]

Can you give us a dozen examples of the quality we need and their availability or are you going to say the usual about how that's the job of Gray and MM to know that?

I could give you a few but my first thoughts, Mark O'Hara and Ryan Jack are both way better than Triantis. Proven at this level and know the league. Know O'Hara would cost a fee but Jack is available if he is willing to come to a club 2nd bottom of the league. All signings come with risks but I'd be more reassured if Hibs brought in guys like this.

That's who I think we should be targeting.

[HoboHarry]

In other news, looks like McTominay and Gilmour will both be at Napoli. Good move for both of them I think.

[The Modfather]

Funny how folk choose to ignore the process behind us securing Bowie who we'd apparently monitored for quite some time.

While I think Bowie will be a good signing, it’s worth noting he’s scored 1 goal and still to start a game.

50 years ago? Last year? What’s the difference. Point remains. Every player in the team last season had us in 8th nit just him. There’s not much wrong with my eyes either.

[LunasBoots]

Currently think Bowie will be a top signing, just need that attacking midfielder that'll get more service up that end of the park

[IanM]

I struggle to think why we've signed him again

That’s fine .. but let’s not kid ourselves that some of the comments on this thread are appealing

[Keepthefaith]

While I think Bowie will be a good signing, it’s worth noting he’s scored 1 goal and still to start a game.

It's worth noting he's scored that goal and hit the bar against Celtic without being fully fit. You can reframe all you like, just seems you want to find the negatives in doing so

[Gordy M]

Have we actually signed Triantis? I normally get a message on Whattsapp about signings....but nothing?

[greenlex]

Triantis screams of missing out on 3/4 targets and having to settle for him. Surely he was not high on the original list.
He screams of a loan deal for a season. Able to cover two areas of the pitch and someone the coach has worked with and obviously thinks is worth signing. Will only cost us a bit of a wage.

[Unseen work]

Triantis screams of missing out on 3/4 targets and having to settle for him. Surely he was not high on the original list.

I posted about a month or so ago I heard we were keen on him.

I think he’s one gray will have wanted for a while. Was he not injured at the start of pre season, may be a reason for the delay?

[ShadesLongThrow]

Must have been Storries then 😏

There’s a blast from the past. Storries at Jocks Lodge who used to sell a bag of yesterday’s buns for a few pence. Happy days!

[Tambo]

Saul has been quiet tonight, maybe he's on the plane with the McCowan back up.

Needing some more unseen investigations.

Jack doesnt have a club for a reason, go work out what that is, you would be the first to moan your tits off as being a **** signing when he hits the treatment room after 2 games

Certainly not fine if he's our only business.

Triantis signed. Official. What an absolute shambles. It's like being promised a BMX for Xmas as a kid and actually getting a pair of socks. Those who are saying "he was actually quite decent in midfield for us" Need to have a word. If that was the case he would have been signed before now.

Rubbish signing. Hopefully I’m proved wrong but I’m praying for better to come.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Triantis...oh dear we are in one hell of a mess. I honestly hope he doesn't read the comments on here either will be brutal for his confidence

[ruthven_raiders]

Yeh im the same.

Hopefully makes us more difficult to get beat, maybe Levitt will be used behind the strikers, his best position....maybe Rudi will flourish there, even miracles upon miracles JDH comes in a does a job...

[Paul1642]

Agreed he made a lot of errors as CB but I actually thought he looked very good as DM. Assured on the ball, ability to keep possession, intercepted well.

So many folk losing their **** tonight when business isn't finished.

Well my point was that out of last years 5 loan deals, Fish, Marcondes, Maolida, Mayenda would have been the 4 preferences. We have already loaned Kwon as a DM who is better than Traiantis IMO. Other positions were the priority. I i know it’s not necessary going to stop either deals but I don’t think he adds much right now. Hope I’m proven wrong.

[Gordy M]

Hopefully makes us more difficult to get beat, maybe Levitt will be used behind the strikers, his best position....maybe Rudi will flourish there, even miracles upon miracles JDH comes in a does a job...

I dont think he will be first choice, signed as cover for couple positions i think. Kwon will be our defensive mid id say

[easty]

Triantis is a good player as a defensive mid imo

Good signing

Wish it had an option to buy

Aye of course he is. I mean, you dinnae get to 21 year old and have 5 games at defensive mid cos you’ve been diddy at your actual position without being a quality defensive mid.

Great signing.

We should resign Mikey Devlin and chuck him up top like LJ did at Tynie.

[Saint Hibee]

Triantis isn’t terrible, but he’s certainly not going to improve us from where we were last year. Hopefully there’s a more attacking signing imminent.

[GloryGlory]

I posted about a month or so ago I heard we were keen on him.

I think he’s one gray will have wanted for a while. Was he not injured at the start of pre season, may be a reason for the delay?

Another who won't be ready for a few weeks? Fit right in he will.

[ian cruise]

Triantis isn’t terrible, but he’s certainly not going to improve us from where we were last year. Hopefully there’s a more attacking signing imminent.

We're definitely about to find out if the main problem was Monty and his backroom's training and tactics or not!

[SHODAN]

I'm waiting on the fans getting back before I get mad about this tbh.

Motherwell, rangers and Livi games in particular he played really well there.

He’s been in Sunderland’s squads lately, so maybe they weren’t in a position to let him go prior to now?

They’re sitting in a decent position in their league right now too.

[Gordy M]

I think Triantis is SDG signing....did he not get him straight in the team for Marcondes when he took over?

[Silky]

We are paying a director of football to bring players back that we had before he got the job

We wouldn't have complained if he'd brought back Miolida. Lots of folk on here wanted him back. I imagine there would have been a different take if Miolida had returned.

Is Triantis a solid player have on the bench? Does he strengthen the squad? Can he step in if somebody is injured/suspended and do a job?

Has he been signed as anything more than that?

[Chorley Hibee]

Not really laughable is it. Thought he was good in middle last season. Bit raw but decent athlete and ok on the ball

Good, really?

I can't believe how bad we actually are when he's classed as good.

Thoroughly underwhelming.

[21sMay]

Triantis isn't a bad signing at all , just need a few players who can go forward now

[The Modfather]

Ironically at the end of the window Triantis seems a signing for a signings sake.

[Smartie]

Triantis isn’t terrible, but he’s certainly not going to improve us from where we were last year. Hopefully there’s a more attacking signing imminent.

He improves us from where we were this morning though, which counts for something within 2 hours of the window closing.

Not ideal and I hope we’re not done, however…

Triantis...oh dear we are in one hell of a mess. I honestly hope he doesn't read the comments on here either will be brutal for his confidenceWow, game changing?

Feels very much like the same as it was last season.

Not to say the guy himself is a problem it's just that the sales pitch from the salesmen running the club truly sounded transformational. Could well be it's how it feels in their circles.........

The difference being Maolida was good and, despite the desperate revisionism, Triantis wasn't.

I'd like to say I can't believe this is where we are, but it's entirely believable with these jokers in charge.

Pleased about Triantis signing and suspect many of the folk slating him here are basing it on one match when he played in defence if they saw him at all . In most other games he showed quality and tremendous confidence for his age . Knows our club and DG knows him so this is not the usual end of window sign a youngster from English League .

Must be the space between his ears

[Callum_62]

The defensive midfielder, who can also play at centre-half, will spend the remainder of the 2024/25 campaign with Hibs on loan from English Championship side Sunderland.

Hibernian FC Head Coach David Gray commented: “I’m delighted to bring Nectar back to the Club. He’s someone I really enjoyed working with last season and he’s another great character to add to the dressing room.

“Nectar is someone I see as a defensive midfielder who has also played a lot at centre-back, which naturally gives him a strong defensive mindset and discipline to dominate the middle of the pitch. I look forward to working with him once again.”

Hibernian FC Sporting Director Malky Mackay added: “Nectar is someone we identified early on in the transfer window, and we’ve been working hard to get this deal done.

“After spending six months here last season, Nectar has a full understanding of the Club and knows the standard of the league, which will help him to hit the ground running.

Maolida was a lot better than good. His goals / assists were the difference between mid table mediocrity and a battle at the bottom of the table.

No, folk are dissatisfied because he was average in a below average team.

And he paggered a ball in to a team mate from 10 feet away when he had the whole of Ibrox to hit.

With a lot of talk being about us in for a Centre half is it actually possible that that’s what Triantis has been brought in for rather than as a defensive mid, or perhaps both? Hope not!

Chris Mepham, centre half. Probably wouldn't want to move up here.

[Ronniekirk]

I struggle to think why we've signed him again
Gray sees him as someone thst can protect the back four from midfield freeing up Joe to play further forward .He was immense at Ross county He went off and we got deeper and deeper and ended up losing the game
But he struggled to last 90 minutes and while I would of hoped for a more expected player he is a good addition
Gray played him and dropped Marcondes so he clearly liked him

[21sMay]

Two more to come on hopefully 🤞

[cabbageandribs1875]

Hibs head coach David Gray is "delighted" to welcome 'Nectar' back and says he's in as a midfielder.

"I’m delighted to bring Nectar back to the Club," Gray said.

"He’s someone I really enjoyed working with last season and he’s another great character to add to the dressing room.

"Nectar is someone I see as a defensive midfielder who has also played a lot at centre-back, which naturally gives him a strong defensive mindset and discipline to dominate the middle of the pitch.

"I look forward to working with him once again."

[GreenCastle]

Is that 4 loans now?

How many are we allowed ?

Also does that limit loans in January unless someone leaves ?

[hibee-boys]

Irrespective of whether he’s a centre back or not I thought Triantis looked more comfortable on the ball than most of our midfield last season. If we want cover in the DM position I think he’s a good acquisition, if that means Josh Campbell rarely gets deployed in that role, or any role in midfield for that matter, it’s all good to me.

Our team is garbage. Was hoping for a couple today but a loan signing that we had last season? Shambles.

I’ve read people thinking there’s been progress because we’ve brought in ‘10 players’. Talk about burying head in sand stuff. You can bring in 110 players but if you don’t address the problems, it’s meaningless.

No good keeper
Left back position not sorted.
A midfield that’s one of the worst in league. If you start Newell and Campbell regularly then you can’t expect to win games.

Club is a mess. And this window shows how much they couldn’t give a toss about the actual football side of it.

Agreed. Underwhelming.

What good is it getting rid of Jair and Delfierre if it just means we do loan signing of guys we seen last season. Who are also very much the same profile as about the other 100 CMs at the club that that we collect like pokemeon.

He’s probably an upgrade on Moriah-Welsh. But only just.

But we need a midfielder that can cut teams open , have an eye for pass and improve us getting it into forward positions.

Meh is how I feel about this.
