No , we can’t and we probably wouldn’t stop a young lad from a dream move like that either . I suppose all we can do is get a bit of money upfront and install a good sell on percentage in the deal in the hope he makes it and moves for big money in the future.

Johnson was on trial at City a good few years ago, can't be mad at the youngsters if they move to EPL teams, to much of an opportunity to turn down.

Will be lots more from other Scottish teams I'd imagine English teams are keeping their eye on.

Is it not because English sides are not entitled to sign up EU youth players now, because of BREXIT rules .

[Frogga]

Is it not because English sides are not entitled to sign up EU youth players now, because of BREXIT rules .

Yeah, that's right. English clubs are all over Scottish youth players now for that reason and because they want to swell their academies to sell later for Financial Fair Play reasons (I think these players represent pure profit).

It's a bit depressing as bringing through young, homegrown players is one of the most exciting parts of following a team. Now they're all just being hoovered up before they even play.

Could the SFA do what they do in South America and stop cross border transfers, or certainly the ability to transfer registration, until the player turns 18? If they were to do that through UEFA or whatever is needed would that make English clubs less likely to buy the players at 16 if they can’t get them in the door until they are 18? At that point they are on full time contracts if not hoovered up in advance.

It still feels like clubs are happy to let these youngsters go 'for the opportunity'.

This has really ramped up since Brexit and I'm struggling to think of many players who have thrived from moving down south. Doak has done well but he's an exceptional talent and being at Liverpool potentially held him back a little due to the lack of first team opportunities.

If it was my kid I'd want them to follow a similar route to Lennon Miller. I think there's a lot more to gain from playing mens football at our level than playing PL2 youth games.

I doubt it is possible to bring in any kind of rules, but you're right in saying Doak is the exception rather than the rule, and even then, the majority of his game time has been on loan in the championship. Ethan Laidlaw is an example. Struggling to start for the Under 21s at Brentford never mind the first team. That's not to say he won't come good, but would he have had more opportunity at Hibs between then and now. Probably, even although our striking options at this exact moment, this season are relatively good.

Is it cross boarder or is it that they can't sign outside of South America? I think that's our problem, because we're in UEFA we can't stop a kid at 16 moving to England because they are also UEFA.

If they lose or draw that game then Hibs win the league.

If they sell him on in a year or two, do we get a percentage of the fee ?
I know we got roughly 100k, is that the total amount ?

2 Goals in 233 minutes play and also had a brief appearance in their u21s. I hope we have a sell on as it likely won't take much for it to be worth more than the fee given how crazy transfers are down there. No idea why a club hasn't come in for Cleland as he looks an even better prospect to me

[PHeffernan]

How do we compete with a team like MCFC? It’s just not possible. All we can do is get the best possible deal for the club and the youngster moving. We might keep a few of our youth team who are late developers other than that our best players will end up going south

[Stairway 2 7]

Celtic and Rangers lose all their youngsters down south nowadays there's nothing we can do bar put a sell on fee

[Tambo]

Always disappointing to hear about the youth players moving so early on in their career.

Mon Hibs, city are minted! Let's get as much as we can 😁

Incredible fee of £235,000 for a 16 year old goalkeeper.😳
If true.

[Up-the-slope]

Incredible fee of £235,000 for a 16 year old goalkeeper.��
If true.

Think he is still 15..... but yes EPL clubs still hoovering up talent. But if we are shown as being somewhere you can get good coaching and exposure via youth / academy ranks we will keep attracting good youngsters and so more fees as well as hopefully keeping some to make 1rst team and bigger fees.

I know rules probably difficult to implement but would be good if players could not move till 18 or be loaned to parent if bought before

If we are getting fees like this for a 15 year old goalie, it’s fantastic news, I don’t mind youth players moving, if we get fees like this to reinvest into the first team.
Doig 3 million , laidlaw £125.000, landers 120,000, goalie £235,000, Conner young £60,000
In my opinion we still have kept our best youth players, at the moment.

I’m not sure we’ll see another Doig come through and sold for big money in today’s world. He would have been snapped up at 16 or so before making the first team. I also don’t think we’ll see any homegrown players come through that are special, like Doig, or any of the golden generation. Only possibility is if they are late developers that aren’t snapped up at 15 or 16.

Hibs seem to see the sale to English clubs as another revenue stream rather than something to attempt to ward of and get them into our own first team. It’s not the approach I would like to take but I’ll not drone on about that more than all my other times.

DOIG came through hearts academy, but was released, hibs then picked him up, and he was in our academy for a very short period, however if our academy didn’t exist, he woudnt have came to hibs.

[HIBS NUTS]

Makes sense given he's 15, no?
Yip it even makes less sense for such a large fee, if he was playing under 16.

Jamie McMurdo claimed a brace with Dean Cleland also on the scoresheet as Hibs Under-18s drew with Cowdenbeath in a bounce game at Central Park last night.

Very difficult to know which 16 year olds are going to make it. Probably a good idea for Hibs to accept these fees. So far none have proved we made a mistake yet. Eventually one will but we can’t look at what the one individual was sold for but what we take in annually from selling these kids contracts.

Ryan Mallon, Rory Whittaker, Lewis Gillie, Joseph McGrath, Owen Calder, Logan Jimenez, Zach Bruce, Adam Buckley, Josh McDonald, Dean Cleland, Jamie McMurdo, Luke Davidson. Think Freddie Owens on loan at Civil Service is also on a pro deal.

There may be more but those are the ones I'm sure of

Jiminez looks a player.

[HIBS NUTS]

Jiminez looks a player.
He’s now playing as a centreforward, and looks the part, he has played in various positions.
The actual team at the moment has no real weaknesses, I thought they were terrific tonight.

Having not watched them but keeping a close eye on the young teams results, they are clearly a very good side.
For those that have been following them, do you expect/think any can make a breakthrough next season?

I'm really not sure tbh, we still have a batch of players from the previous years still waiting to make the breakthrough, but a very good season for the 18's this season.

Regarding Jimenez, i was wondering how he was scoring a few recently as when i asked about him a few months ago and from my google search he was listed as a CB on the transfer market website so interesting he's now playing as a ST.

More goals from Cleland!

[Billy Whizz]

I saw something on LinkedIn that Hibs were taking part in a mini competition with Hull and Newcastle
Final is Newcastle v Hibs. Anyone know what age group this is?

[Paul1642]

I know it’s been asked before, but what’s the consensus in terms of Dean Cleland stepping up to the first team, and when?

My knowledge of the youth set up is pretty much limited to this thread but the amount of goals he seems to be scoring seems pretty exceptional.

Surely he’s earned a shot at pre season, or the final game of the season if things are mathematically resolved in terms of league position.

Jimenez has played all over the pitch including full back, but with Josh landers leaving , he is now playing Centre forward, with Cleland just off, this is also helping Cleland.
They were fantastic last night especially the second half, the hibs midfield was under pressure in the first half, because our 2 wing backs were miles up field.
Everyone was good last night against a top 6 side

I’ve watched the young players, for a long time, and Dean Cleland is the best goal scorer, I’ve watched, better than landers, young,laidlaw, occonner.
His attitude on the pitch, is brilliant, he never stops running, he’s quick, he’s good in the air, and he always seems to be in the right place.
Hes not the biggest, but is strong, however he will definitely have trained with first team, and David gray/Mcgregor will no when he’s ready.
My only frustration, was when McKirdy was getting minutes, and I rated as one of the worst forwards to have played for hibs, That was the time to try him out.
I know he had health issues, but he was rank before this was uncovered.
I wish him all the best at Bromley, but he was smaller and weaker than Cleland.

Probably more likely we sell him to an English team based on recent years.

[HIBS NUTS]

I think the league goes to under 19 next year, so most players will be able to develop for another year, at this level.

[HIBS NUTS]

​
Probably more likely we sell him to an English team based on recent years.
I’m really surprised Thats not happened. But we have taken in about 1/2 million in fees recently, with added sell ons ,which is decent .

Maybe he’s knocked it back? It does feel like our model is more about moving players on now rather than troubling the first team.

[HIBS NUTS]

Football has moved on , English teams can’t recruit young players from Europe now, since Brexit
So they are offering ridiculous money for Scottish young players, to fill their teams, £265,000 for a 15 year old goalkeeper is madness.
It’s actually helping hibs, and if we get sell ons , fantastic.

And the under 18s haven’t really been impacted.

I don’t disagree just seems a change of strategy/focus. Maybe the club should focus on the young ones with a view to selling on at 16 instead of the pretence that someone might break into our first team.

[CapitalGreen]

I don’t disagree just seems a change of strategy/focus. Maybe the club should focus on the young ones with a view to selling on at 16 instead of the pretence that someone might break into our first team.

How would those strategies differ in practice?

[The Modfather]

I don’t disagree just seems a change of strategy/focus. Maybe the club should focus on the young ones with a view to selling on at 16 instead of the pretence that someone might break into our first team.

Under the clubs current ethos, we would be as well keeping the youngsters on until they are 16 or 17. Then if they’ve not been bought by an English club at that point release them. Do away with the overheads of running under 18s and 19s teams when we’ve no actual intention to try and bring players through it would seem.

[Danderhall Hibs]

How would those strategies differ in practice?

Sweep up the players at a younger age, put the best coaches on those teams, potentially less full time contracts to those over 17?

Not sure of the specifics but we have people in charge of all that.

Yeah - if that’s where we see value that would make sense. Certainly doesn’t seem to be many players who have been made first team ready and those that might have been eat marked are now being swayed to go elsewhere before they’re 16/17. Potentially that decision is made easier with there being no clear pathway to the first team.

Would be no harm in a new deal if both parties are interested, the goal record don't lie at that level and you watch him pretty much every week with great reports.

Could only assume SDG don't want to throw in youngsters in such a vital season with it starting terrible and potentially ending great.

I'm hoping Oscar can push on next season after getting good reports from his loan deal this season.

[Ringothedog]

Rangers have a very strong team

[big-mo]

Sorry 6-2

The final score was 7-2,
Killie took the lead on 6’ Logan got one back shortly after, Killie then regained lead, but Rory Whitaker levelled again but Deano got Hibs third right on half time, as said all 5 goals were headers. Into the second half and Lewis Gille got Hibs 4th shortly after the restart. Logan then got his second before two late goals from Deano, the final one in added on time. That was his 38 goal of the season 28 in competitive games.

This was another great performance, against a very big and physical Killie side. The result could have been more as the were at least another four or five chances put wide or just over. Killie still third but 7points behind and having played a game more.

That is now 20 goals in the last three league games, all against top six opposition.
Still a we debate about the next game, it looks like it could be Rangers away on Tuesday afternoon, and then it is up to Cormack Park next Friday afternoon against The Dons. The Rangers game is the one postponed from a couple of weeks ago.

Rangers are still top by two points but Hibs have a much better GD. The last game of the season is at HTC against Rangers, some people talking about moving it to ER, but I think they should keep it at HTC, where we have been doing so well.

A great night in the new Terrace Suite in the Famous Five Stand tonight. First look at the FF bronzes too and they are beautifully done and presented.

I was at the Academy End of Season Awards last night in thr FF Behind the Goals. Very good night and well ran.

Deano won the U18s player of the Year and Goal of the Season awards, not suprising but the Goals of the Season was a real team effort, sixteen passes right from the back and across the pitch befor Derano finished it of. The moment of the season was the first post split game against St Mirren where we played St Mirren and won 6-1.
It was also good toe see and hear from Malky Mackay, and there were a few former Academy Graduates there, Paul Hanlon, Lewis Stevenson and Scotty Broon.

Also good to hear that Deano has been training with the first team a few days a week.

He’ll probably follow the other standout young players and sign for an English Prem team before he plays for us. It’s just the way of it really. For most teams as well, that’s including Celtic and Rangers.

He might - that’s 2 or 3 that’ve done that now I think due to the Brexit rules making it easier for English teams to sign from Scotland.

If that’s the academy strategy then that’s good but I’ll be taking less interest in it if we’re never going to see any output other than a wee drop cash in the accounts.

I feel your frustration, but £400,000 in fees , plus sell ons, last 6 months, is brilliant money.
More than we get for most first team transfers
And we have kept the best players..

I’ve never seen Cleland play in the flesh, what’s he like physically ? Could he cope with “Men’s” football ?

[The Modfather]

What do we do to turn him into a first team player? We’ve had numerous lads at this age score this many and none have got close to the first team - we need to do something different.

If we actually had a desire to do it, which we clearly don’t, then the natural pathway is to let Gayle retire and promote Clelland to that 3rd/4th striker next season despite in the short term that being a downgrade.

I think the likely outcome is to keep him playing at a level he’s far outgrown and then pat ourselves on the back at another successful season at youth level.

[007 Mickey Weir]

Do we know what Clellands contract situation is?

[HIBS NUTS]

I’ve never seen Cleland play in the flesh, what’s he like physically ? Could he cope with “Men’s” football ?
He’s relatively small in stature, but strong.
Hes fast, has 2 good feet, good dribbler, and is decent in the air.
His main attributes, are definitely his non stop running and energy, and he always seems to be in the right place.
However he obviously trains with the first team, and the coaching staff , will know if he’s ready, to play first team football.
He won’t be playing in front of gayle, Bowie, or Myko, he should have had a chance ahead of McKirdy.

He’s still under contract, for the foreseeable future.

Would winning this put us back in the UEFA Youth League like a few years ago? Really enjoyed the games at Easter Road when that happened. Was easily the highlight of the season.

I’m pretty sure it gets into, CL under 19s competition.
Last time a lot of our team, didn’t have competitive games , as they were too old to play under18, in Scotland, but played in the European youth league, that autumn.
However I think something has changed for next season, with talk of a Scottish under 19 league.
Could someone tell me if this is the case.

That’s my understanding as well, which means we could play the same team in the league as in Europe should we win the league

We could play the same team last time, laidlaw, occonner, blaney, Johnstone, etc.
It was just they coudnt play any competitive games before euro ties.
As the league they were able to play in, stopped in may.
We landed up playing loads of friendlies.
Hopefully this time is different. 👍

Huns at home on Friday at 4pm. Massive game.

Massive game, I'm not sure if it's the rules but would have been nice to be shown live on YouTube or somewhere, I remember a game vs them a few years ago, maybe was a cup game and was shown live on an app which the name is not coming to me.

Penalty with 2 mins to go, stupid penalty to give away. The huns didn't look like scoring otherwise. A missed opportunity but probably the right result across the piece.

Ah well, fair dos then … we do seem to have a decent bunch of younger players though … one or two breaking through in next couple years would be good. Other teams are doing it, eg, Dundee, and we need to find that too. Well done though to the youngsters today 👍

It was a penalty, but ushering out the ball, shouldn’t lead to a penalty.
As you’ve said a draw was about right.👍

[Tambo]

Unlucky lads, still in our hands for the title.

[HIBS NUTS]

We shout out for Ryan Mallen in goals, for the under 18s this season, he’s been excellent, great awareness and distribution.

How many goals does he have for the season now?

Wonder why we didn’t loan him out in January. I hope it’s not because we prioritised trying to win the U18s league rather than half a seasons development wasted playing at a level he must be getting very little from.
