Winter transfer thread 2024/25

[Since452]

Neither is Kwon

Kwon is lucky to be getting into Hibs team never mind Celtics. I think with the arrival of the new guy he won't be.

[erin go bragh]

Signed 25 year old Jota and sold 30 year old Kyogo and made a profit. Very good business by them unfortunately.

Sold Jota for 25m and bought him back for 8m. Paid 4m for Kyogo and sold for 10m.
We sold Boyle for 3.5m and basically bought him back for 1.5m but Celtic are on a different level from everyone in the SPFL.
Hopefully with the Black Knights help we can unearth some gems that make us s fortune in transfers as Celtic have certainly shown it can be done.

That 17 year old we were in for who just signed for Djugardens raised my eyebrows to the BKG. Surely they would have wanted him for Bournemouths under 19s, with a loan to us.

[superfurryhibby]

No it wouldn’t really. Myko will contribute and is a completely different option from Vente. We’ve got Gayle and now Bowie too. Vente wouldn’t improve us. He was a big part of us having a disappointing start by missing chances every week.

Yes it really would. Myko has been poor. Gayle is by his own admission a physical wreck. Bowie has just returned from his second serious injury in the past year and will not be pushed too hard in terms of managing his return to full fitness. Youan is injured, possibly close to being sold. We have Harry McKirdy on the bench most weeks, a player unable to make a telling contribution.

I think your other points on Vente have been shown to be incorrect, so won't bother with them.

Vente is our record signing, I would guess we are subsidising his gametime with FC Zwolle, Hibs are in need of another striker, I'm not averse to him returning to Hibs. It's unlikely to happen, but I would like it if it did.

[B.H.F.C]

Losing that goal seconds after scoring still boils my blood. I still think we'd have won that day if we hadn't.

Gets overlooked because it was Celtic but we missed a massive, massive opportunity that day. Game had went exactly as we needed up until the restart from us going 1-0 up.

[cameronw-hfc]

Kyogo deal is done.

Just seen a celtic fan refer to him as fraudogo on twitter. Insane how this lot act when a player leaves them, probably their best since Larsson as well.

[Greenbeard]

If we were to sell Vente in the summer I'd hop we look at someone like Johnny Kenny at Celtic, he looks a real good talent.
Given how crap Kwon is I wouldn't be signing any more Celtic reserve players unless it was a loan first with an option to buy if he proved himself good enough.
"Kwon gone" is the post I am hoping for on here.

And Celtic had a pretty weak 11 if gone to extra time. Kyogo was off and there was a 19 year old sub striker on. Definitely penalty however Newell and particularly Hanlon missed two glorious chances to equalise. Beaton showing how good a ref he is in that game

Short term was more important this window IMO with it being the last season of guaranteed group stage football. Games ticking away, opportunity for any impact is going to be limited.

[Malthibby]

beaton and his gang made sure they won that day, quick free kicks and the most blatant pen we should have got all day. Paul mcginn at least had the balls to say it.

Yup - late penalty was an absolute stone-waller & we would never have been allowed to take a free-kick like that. Defence was asleep, though....

Okay but what does that mean, sign quality players for four months? There's not too many Myziane's kicking about. Then we are just kicking the can a little further down the road again.

I think what Gray has been saying is we have to bear in mind what we want to do in the summer and that might mean looking at players now who we actually want for the next 3 or 3 yrs rather than a short term fix.

We can't just keep focusing one window at a time and not building anything.

But we could sign guys on permanent contracts now who’ll improve us for both the next 4 months and next season ?

No one’s saying we should just sign loan players for this season although if they improve us for 4 months while we are scouting signing for the summer then why not. As the above says, last year of guaranteed group stage football and we’ve yet to strengthen

Knew you’d be first to respond to this, as you are to any similar opinion. The can will be kicked further down the road regardless. Football is short term, the opportunity is there and will likely pass us by (again) if we don’t act.

We’re a team that has won 7 out of 24 games. I know you’ll come out with your usual stuff about it not being that straightforward, good players only being available towards the window and all that. Despite all that, I’ll still be disappointed that we haven’t improved the squad at this stage and are still dropping points that probably make third unlikely.

Looking at our opponents, celtc aside has any team strengthened with quality ? Aberdeen have signed a stack of players but they have regressed, hearts are using some computer so we dont know if they are decent or not.

We could be negotiating on a few departures or negotiating on one or two coming in, and to be honest I would be happy with one or two, rebuilding is for the summer, quality over quantity is which will define this season.

I think we generally do all right in January. We often need to, to save the season. I’d also argue that you have more of a chance of getting good players in January for different reasons. Maolida and Marcondes being the obvious ones last year, you get them because they’ve not kicked a ball.

I just think this window was about the short term. We know we have a lot of changes coming up in the summer but the league is so pish we still have a chance of third. Feel like that chance will pass us by shortly if we’re not careful. It’s fine talking about our opponents not strengthening (it would appear Hearts have) but we are chasing. We need it more than those above us as it stands.

You Tube videos, especially the Premier Sports one at 6.28 which shows replays from two different angles - just over 5 minutes in (to the Video), Hanlon heads the ball into the middle of the penalty area,
Porteous (5) is running in along with others and the Celtic no. 4 (Scales?) pushes him to the deck with both hands extended from the back.

Agree and that’s why it might take a bit longer. If we aren’t just looking at players teams want to ship out for a few months.

We aren’t in desperate state so it is the right thing to do.

Why would we want players who haven't kicked a ball? If they take 5 or 6 weeks to get used to the 'unique' football in Scotland. More time will "pass us by".

If we need it more than those above us, why mention hertz? Or do hertz, in typical .net fashion, consistently sign good players?

It's a time for muddling along and generally signing stop gap players, and not a time for building for the summer surely?

In an ideal world you wouldn’t want players who haven’t been playing. But if the argument is about quality, generally that gives you an opportunity to get a player you wouldn’t normally get (Maolida last year being the prime example).

For me it shouldn’t be about muddling along. The opportunity is here and there for us now. The opportunity is less as of the summer with the loss of the automatic European place. I’m really not bothered about building beyond the next few months in this window, good stop gaps can help us achieve something rather than muddle along.

Also, look at the post I quoted and that will explain the reference to Hearts for you.

[Ribs1875]

Inside source told me there was a lot of over micro management from Kensell making others jobs difficult. He was wanting the final say on most things, so it would look good on him and would take the credit. The BKG had several clashes with him and it was highlighted to the Gordons. Would make sense giving how slow our transfer business has been.

[greenlex]

So we pay 3 guys six months wages not to be here while paying another 3 guys wages to take their place. Don’t think so.

Yup. If they won’t go of their own volition get them away. They aren’t doing anything on a match day for the wages in any case. All they are doing is blocking pathway for the next Rudi

They didn't understand why we thought it was a pen and seemed to think that blundering into the back of a player and pushing him to ground was not a foul. You could bet your bottom dollar they'd be shouting louder than anyone if it were the other way.

Pretty sure Hibs would know as soon as Djuugardens upped their bid Hibs would know what was going on.

More like we didn’t believe matching it was value for money.

Rumours of Kensell leaving months ago when his family moved back south.

For months we have been told he is strictly working on the commercial side and not involved in transfers.

I find it difficult to believe his departure is anything to do with us not signing the 17 year old.

2 points dropped against Ross County - would have been nice to have someone in before that game to help the team improve.

We're unbeaten in nine games. While we need to sign people I don't think every time we fail to win a game is indicative of us being tam kite that some paint it as. We could resign the midfield three of McGinn, McGeouch, and Allan in their primes and we'd still drop the stupid game here and there like we did back when we had them.

We're doing fine and there's no reason to panic at this present moment, get the right players in for the next 14 games + cup games and not just someone for the weekend.

Your posts are always bang on! As you state, even our better teams in recent years dropped points. Even Celtic were at risk of dropping points until they scored in the 81st minute. Whilst we weren't brilliant, it took a soft penalty to prevent us getting all three points.

I don’t understand why every window we seem to be pretending he is injured in the apparent hope that a bid is coming in for him? When have Hibs ever done that with players? We play them until such time as there is an offer

All seems completely bizarre and frankly not good enough that our player isn’t available for months at a time, whenever the window is open. It looks like we will be getting nothing for him anyway so he should have just been playing.

Never thought we needed to do a lot this window but a couple capable of making a quick impacts could make all the difference. There are a minimal number of games to go in the league and for all we have players coming back, we will lose others to injury and suspension as the season goes on. It’s still a squad that has only managed to win 7 out of 24 games. I think our need for improvement is underplayed a bit because we’ve had a good run, which has actually dipped a bit this month.

All to play for in the league and cup but still think we need to do some good business between now and next Monday if we are to do something worthwhile in either.

We need better.

To know we have Smith on the bench, but a better keeper starting, then we are in a strong position.

It has been quite some time since the Hibs squad could not realistically be improved in almost all positions.

Our issue is, we have consistently lowered the floor instead of raising the roof.

It could be said our position right now is about right, so if we improved on every (most) positions we would go one direction.

That applies to every player in every position.

I’d say that midfield and defence are our weaker areas just now. Manneh should improve us and I’d say that defence (CB/RB) is another area we need to strengthen.

What I would prefer is an option where we just keep improving, rather than taking punts on development players, which I hope we are done with that strategy now.

While I don't disagree that I would like an improvement in goals. The problem with wanting a new Goalkeeper is that we already have 3 on the books currently with 2 of them set to leave us in the summer (Boruc and Bursik loan ending). If we tried to sign another we'd be paying for 4 different keepers and hoping to only ever play the new guy. It looks pretty certain that we can't cancel Bursik's loan and I don't doubt we've tried to shift Boruc for the past year or so already, just no one is taking a punt on him.

For me it's not a priority this window, if we get all the business we want done and there's room in the budget for a new keeper on deadline day and it's someone we really like then by all means lets just do it. But if it's going to be a choice between having a fourth keeper or a starter elsewhere on the park then I'm happy to hold off and roll with Jordan Smith until the same and then sign a new keeper to compete with him.

Agreed. I've not heard much about this guy's physicality which is clearly what Levitt lacks. But I am a bit disappointed if DL finds himself out of the team again as IMO he's still, by a distance our best creative midfielder and he's one that is still on the books next season. If we don't sell him and recoup a chunk of what we paid then it's such a waste to have him wasting away on the bench.

Levitt finds himself in a difficult place as he's very technically gifted and can spray passes and recycle the ball lovely etc. But he can't grab a game in the same way I see others do. He can't tackle, nor can he really cut out passes to regain possession. It's like he just waits until we have the ball back till he can start playing again. He's a borderline liability out of possession, the best he can do is maintain shape and jockey players.

I always thought he could make a better number 10 and I think there's still a chance of that in place of Campbell, but he plays in a totally different way to Josh that I'm not sure he'd slot in so easily there either.

I still think Levitt's got what it takes to play an advanced role.

He's also got the passing ability to create the sort of chance Vente stated upon signing that he thrives off.

When we're trying to break down defensive teams at home I'd maybe consider Levitt in the Campbell position. As well as Campbell has been playing and contributing, I always find him at his best in the games against the better teams and it is a squad game.

[Nicho87]

Of course you chuck a new signing into your first eleven, this is of course on the hope and premise that they’re better than what we already have in the building, otherwise what’s the point in signing him

Doesn’t always work out like that obviously but you sign players to improve results / team / performance so naturally he will in an ideal world replace someone in the current 11.

Don’t think it’s to far fetched personally

19. He was a regular scorer for Bournemouth under 21s. Aldershot fans reckon he wasn’t given any opportunities. Assume he’s at Bournemouth for a reason!

I doubt he’s coming but if he was I wouldn’t read too much into a short loan spell. We didn’t play Mayenda last year and he’s been a regular scorer at the top end of the Championship.

Is he allowed to play for 3 teams in the same season? Or is that just a same-country thing?

He’s only played for 1 team.

[erin go bragh]

I reckon he will replace Levitt.

Amos and NMW hopefully go and keep Levitt.

Would be interesting to see us play effectively 3 8s in the middle of the park. Not against this in the slightest tbh. Too much emphasis on a 6 having to be some sort of stopper rather than just another good footballer.

I think that in recent years we've fallen into the trap of having too many specialist central midfielders who are great at some things and terrible at others.

Whilst I know I'll get the "jack of all trades, master of none" thing thrown at me here, I've always thought most central midfielders need to be your best players and have a strong all round game where they're good at everything.

That still allows for the odd Bartley or Scott Allan to be chucked in with a few all rounders but I don't think you'll ever get anywhere with 3 specialists. There needs to be a few all rounders in there at all times.

So the principle of your "3 8s" thing, I'm potentially happy with.

An 18 y.o guy playing on loan at Aldershot in the 5th tier in England with 0 goals in 5 appearances? This place will go into meltdown if that happens.
About par for the course.

[CraigHibee]

Boy on Twitter seems to think Johnny Stuttle is coming to Hibs, don't know if it's an assumption on his side or if it's something he's heard. Can't see it myself.

think i would rather take Johnny Fartpants

There's a poster on here who has periodically dropped in the question of would Alan Campbell in be a good move (with Kwon released from his loan / going back to Celtic)

Possibly the finances to a few deals all hinge on Youan's outgoing deal starting the chain...

Campbell in and Kwon away would be a brilliant piece of business.

[CropleyWasGod]

He’s only played for 1 team.

Not Bournemouth and Aldershot?

(I meant "registered with" rather than played for)

It is if they've played a competitive first team game. They can be registered with more than two clubs but can't have played.

It's actually playing, not just being registered. E.g., Harry Clarke would have been registered with three clubs the season he played for us, but only played for us and Ross County.

I'm still of the opinion he's not coming here but from the Aldershot website

Jonny Stuttle's loan deal with Aldershot Town has come to an end as the striker has been recalled by AFC Bournemouth. Stuttle made eight appearances for the Shots and scored his two goals in our 8-0 win over Chertsey Town in the Isuzu FA Trophy Fourth Round.

[Broxburn Greens]

This has probably already been said but I think I'm right in saying Hibs are now the only Premiership side to have no new recruits so far this window?

All good if we're deliberately targeting only players we really want, so long as we get them in and if we can't get them in I'd rather stick with what we've got at present rather than panic buying in the coming days, panic buying only leads to bloated squads and that never works out well.

Hopefully some decent news in the coming few days to help us push on and contend for the euro places (which not so long ago didn't seem very likely anyway).

Not much to to go on, but stuttle does move well and looks a direct threat upfront also looks quite a decent unit for 18. Not advocating for us to get him but with Gayle guiding both him and Bowie as forwards could give us a lot of power and energy up front.

[ShetlandHibby]

Think we’re at the point where we might only see a loan or two coming in to provide cover/depth. Bit disappointing but if the right players haven’t been available then I’d rather be patient and wait.

[JohnM1875]
