Being told Ethan Laidlaw going out on loan to Cheltenham Town - remember him?

Not a bad move for him after coming back from injury and doing OK for the Brentford 'b' team

Being told Ethan Laidlaw going out on loan to Cheltenham Town - remember him?

Hope he does well, though can't help but think he would've been much better of staying at us.

[Walter]

I've heard from a completely untested source that we are after Zander Clark. That completes the extent of my knowledge.

[Itsnoteasy]

Is it impossible for you to just wish him well? It was Hibs that offered him a contract, hardly his fault he accepted it.

So whose fault is it that he accepted it 😂

I have to hold my hand up to that one.

Have to think we wont be getting anyone from Bournemouth then? Surely we’d have that all lined up and ready to go today if it was happening. Earlier the better.
We like to do things our own way ��

Ayr Utd would be a good fit for McKirdy.

Probably but anywhere for me .

[hibsbollah]

McKirdy has had a horrendous time of it and although it hasn’t worked out for parties involved he always seemed a good sort and a bit mad for it too, really hope his career goes somewhere.

To be honest I don't think I've ever wanted a player to struggle after leaving us. I obviously don't want them to play well if they're up against us. But I'd like to think when here, they did their most to try and make an impact. Just didn't work out.

Most of the time when players leave im pretty indifferent on their careers, Harry is one ill keep an eye on and hope he kick starts his career. Gone through a horrid time here off and on the pitch and seems like a really decent bloke through it all.

[JohnM1875]

Aberdeen statement on the Barron fee;

‘In fact, the actual outcome of the tribunal was to reward Aberdeen FC a guaranteed sum of £639,920, with an additional £250k of conditional performance-based payments as well as future economic rights by way of a sell-on allowing Aberdeen to benefit from any future transfers of Connor as he progresses further in his career.‘

Wonder why that wasn't reported at the time? Anything to not upset the Huns.

Good on Aberdeen for sticking it out. **** the huns.

[04Sauzee]

That Joel Sked boy doesn't think Danny Armstrong will be a Hearts player, with him not looking likely to sign a new deal at Killie I wonder where he will end up. Looks like a Dundee Utd type of signing.

27 so coming into his prime, also means very little sell on value if a Scottish club is to go for him. Have to admit, I've never really noticed him as a stand out player whenever I've seen them play.

Have we made any more offers to Dundee for Luke McCowan yet?

I wonder what level of quality the Scottish championship would be compared to the English league 2 ? .

[Cat Stanton]

Apologies if already discussed - possibly several times (although if so, I've missed it) - but I see Josh O'Connor is away on a permanent deal to Crusaders of N. Ireland. People had high hopes for him at one point, I think?

Also a bit depressing how few young players make it.

[Donegal Hibby]

Hertz linked with a winger called Ryan Longman …. On the winger front I suppose it’s possible we could lose Youan this window who will be hard to replace … not saying we should though remember this guy who seems to have lost his way a bit being quite good….

The writing was on the wall for Josh when he struggled for game time on loan at Airdrie last season and things didn't improve this season on loan in Ireland.
He now joins former team mate at Hibs, Jacob Blaney, so at least he knows someone at Crusaders. Jacob has been there since June.
Hibs player, Kyle McClelland, is currently on loan in the same league, playing for Coleraine who are a point behind Crusaders at the moment with both clubs in mid table.

All 3 will find their level over the next couple of seasons and Josh and Jacob are both contracted at Crusaders until summer of 2026 which buys them another year to develop.

The times I saw him play, he never looked like he was going to make it. In that game v Dortmund, the centre backs chucked him around like an empty tracksuit.

Most of us, when we get older, look back at the experiences of young players, from the perspective of distance, as a waste of talent. But people live in the moment, particularly youth, and the ability to resist temptation if it's thrown at you every day and your body is full of hormones swishing around it must be overwhelming.

They'll only make it if they're good enough. Not many are. Occasionally you'll get a Campbell, Porteous, or Rudi coming through but they are few and far between. I don't think we're too different to other clubs at our level. A big reason people kept an eye on Josh was because of his surname.

Most of the time there is no other reason than just not being good enough. There is nobody to blame, least of all the kid themselves. It’s really difficult to make the pro game.

[Hibernian Verse]

JDH away, Malky not messing about this window.

Expect he will be announced at his new club this weekend, Gray described it as a fresh start for him so must have something lined up.

[hibsbollah]

Two wonder strikes in one game and not much else. Good luck to him.

[Allant1981]

Good to see another fringe player away, hopefully another couple to go

[yerauldda]

I actually quite liked him. He was outstanding when we beat Hearts 1-0 April 2023. In terms of value for money though.. shocking. Hope he can sort his body out and make a good career from football.

[Pretty Boy]

The swiftness we are now jettisoning deadwood is good to see. We can argue about the madness of the contracts handed out in the 1st place but it's a positive we don't look like making the same mistakes again.

If we could also ship out McKirdy that would be the bulk of the non contributors away from the club.

[Nicho87]

No comments made by Malky on JDH. Kennah got a nice send off on paper anyway.

Another one gone though.

[Donegal Hibby]

All the best JDH …

I'd like to see Tavares, NMW, Amos and Mckirdy gone

[GreenCastle]

I think Goodwin had JDH at St Mirren so would be surprised if he doesn’t end up at Dundee Utd.

[tonyrougier123]

No messing on the departures, you love to see it. JDH you have to ask yourself did he want the jersey bad enough?answer is a resounding no.
It will forever stay with me just how bad he was in the euro game against the Andorran team we played, flying in to tackles clearly running a thin line of getting himself stupidly sent off. Couldn’t believe what my eyes were seeing, looked deliberate.

Anyway another out that contributed very little onwards and upwards, hopefully we see a motivated useful midfielder replace what leaves in this window.

[Paul1642]

I'd like to see Tavares, NMW, Amos and Mckirdy gone

Tavares is out on loan anyway and I can’t see Motherwell wanting him permanently, therefore I don’t expect any movement until the summer at best.

Wouldn’t be sad to see the back of NMH but he’s the one on the list most capable of doing a job from the bench IMO.

Amos’ LinkedIn post makes me hopeful he’ll be off this window.

Mckirdy is going to be hard to shift as I just can’t see anyone wanting him.

[Unseen work]

I actually liked Doyle Hayes.

Thought he was good on the ball and had a bit of dig about him.

He always seemed to play well against the old firm and when coming on as a sub. It was when he started against teams we expect to dominate I never thought he done enough, weirdly when he’d come on though he’d inject the energy needed and play forward passes?

The last 18 months or so has been a really weird one about his lack of game time.

Wish him all the best and think he’ll continue playing at a decent level

[S4uzee]

I’ll still never ever understand his 8 minute derby cameo when 1-0 up

[04Sauzee]

If Amos was to leave in the next few days you would expect to see a midfielder arrive as Amos and JDH have been having to fill in on the bench recently. Unless of course Molitnikov will be flying in the next few weeks.

[The Spaceman]

Cheerio JDH - glad he’s been binned / another wage off the books.

[Unseen work]

Yep, just makes no sense whatsoever

[Eyrie]

If Amos was to leave in the next few days you would expect to see a midfielder arrive as Amos and JDH have been having to fill in on the bench recently. Unless of course Molitnikov will be flying in the next few weeks.

I think we needed at least one midfielder anyway because the lack of depth behind Newell and Triantis is a worry. Campbell can't play a deep role which leaves Kwon and a group of players who aren't good enough and have either just left (Doyle-Hayes, Kenneh) or are expected to go either this window or in the summer (Amos, Levitt, Moriah-Welsh).

Campbell, Hoilett and Molotnikov give us good options for the advanced role.

[GreenCastle]

Was a ridiculous sub at that time in the game considering we lost a goal 4 minutes later.

Hope he is announced somewhere else because unless he's had a payoff doesn't "mutual consent" mean he is still on the payroll for the remainder of his contract? This just makes it easier for him to find a new club.

[TelaStella]

Out of all on the list he’s the one I’ve been reluctant the most, though always accepting of his potential departure. I liked his bite and I liked his energy. The times you could see it were always so few and far between though. Less said about fitness the better. Good luck to him in the future. Wouldn’t be surprised to see him at United or Killie.

Me too

Add Bursik, Boruc, Levitt and we are getting there, we really cant afford to have players hanging around the club who the manager wont use even in dire emergency.

I would need someone to list those out on loan, but some of those like Delfierre are never going to make it either.

If this means bringing back some of the younger guys out on loan to pad out the squad so be it.

I don't really see much incoming movement, it will be costing to get rid of these guys.

Maybe if Youan is sold that might enable some incoming but getting rid of the absolute deadwood will much the club a happier and better functioning environment

[Iain G]

Still wrong despite him regularly repeating it.

It was an existing injury and that challenge only caused a flare up at that time. I know that direct from him and also plenty articles out there from the time confirming the doctors had agreed that he had an underlying injury.

[hibstag]

Cheerio JDH - glad he’s been binned / another wage off the books.

Hopefully he'll will return to the club one day to work in the physio team a role he well suited too

[Donegal Hibby]

Who was the club that tried to sign JDH ?

[Heisenberg]

JDH had some good performances in massive games v the old firm and the derby win over Hearts. Just never performed over the piece and injuries obviously took their toll.

[Hibernian Verse]

Hope he is announced somewhere else because unless he's had a payoff doesn't "mutual consent" mean he is still on the payroll for the remainder of his contract? This just makes it easier for him to find a new club.

He’s off the payroll, it means they came to a financial agreement and he will be paid a lump sum based on the value of his remaining contract.

JDH was a sensible signing at the time but the contract extension after only a few months beggars belief, unfortunately he was crocked at training by our then hopeless manager Johnston, I met him a couple of times and he's a nice bloke, good luck to him.

[GreenCastle]

All the best to JDH - sadly injuries haven’t helped him last 3 seasons..

Looking at his stats..last 3 seasons..

This season..

8 mins out of 25 games

Last season..

81 mins in Premiership games (only 1st game of season v St Mirren 3v2)
176 mins in Europe games (over 4 games)

Total 251 mins which is just under 3 full games of football.

Season 22/23

19 games - 846 minutes which is about 9.5 games worth - only played x2 90 mins in games.

…

So he’s played in about 15 games last 3 seasons and only played 90 mins twice.

[Tambo]

Some good outs already this month, hopefully a couple more then bring in who we need.

[Greenio]

I see it the other way round. I think it’s creativity we need and we can get by in the deeper positions.

Molotnikov isn’t really an option as a 10 at the moment, for me. Hoilett is a winger who we’ve played centrally because we didn’t address that issue in the summer and we’ve not had much from him. Campbell has done well over the last few weeks but we know from previous experience that might not last, plus I think we need a different type in there to suit different games.

I’m pretty sure he’d have been off in the summer if he hadn’t got injured.

David Gray has done well to get a productive last month or so out of him but it always felt to me like he was going to want to leave at the earliest opportunity, all the flag waving in the world wouldn’t change that.

He’s knuckled down though - which is all we can ask for - and he leaves with our thanks.

Probably a fairly brutal few weeks between his transfer flu starting and the quality becoming available at the end of this window, potentially season defining tbh.

[Tyler Durden]

Must have seen about half a dozen tweets today from the usual “look at me” edgy types about how Lee Johnson injured JDH.

Who cares? Players get injured in training all the time. The guy had more separate injuries than he had good games.

Comes on to be the creative spark and takes easy option every time with a simple switch to the centre half

Not good enough

Fair enough slate him when he’s been pish but you’ve just made that up. He switched it wide well when he came on.

No brainer for me knows scottish football score's goals in scottish football, I couldn't care whether he smiles or not as long as he score's goals.

We have a lot of fragile forwards as it is. Great player when fit but it’s not very often, is it?

Will surely need to be a big offer! Teams don't let their better players leave in January and we shouldn't either.

How many good games have we had out of Youan this season? Less than 5 I’d say.

[JohnM1875]

Really hope we have a starter or two in before the Rangers game. Probably too much to ask but if not the Hun game then definitely the Motherwell game. Badly needed.

Hoilett so far off it after a good start
Kwon is terrible
Boyle can't seem to beat a man now
Youan looks likes he's off
Myko still injured and even then hasn't been great
Chris Cadden just isn't good enough
Definitely need a defender.

That's half a squad of players that need replaced, if Youan is leaving and not just injured. Obviously never going to happen in Jan. But we should hopefully get three in ready to start.

Did he come on to be the creative spark?

It was clear to me our plan after those subs was to create an overload in the wide areas with Obita/Cadden and Cadden/Boyle on the wings.

[500miles]

Hopefully Newell isn't out for long. We need the sense of space and time he has in the middle of the pitch. Switched back and forth between rushed and ponderous today.

There’s a number of fans that said his best position is a ten. He looks like a lost player to me.

[RossScott1991]

As much as last few weeks have been positive, a game like today was always going to happen soon. Squad and midfield exposed for lack of quality, need 3/4 upgrades in key positions long term. Short term seen enough knowing we are fine from early season worry. But to be a good team we need a GK, CB another couple of quality CMs, preferably more attacking. And another ST, but thats long term. Short term focus on the outs and plug gaps with a couple of decent loans in the meantime.

He wasn’t playing as a 10 today. Campbell and then Molotnikov were playing in that position.

We actually played a few decent balls to runners into the box today. For me we simply lack players willing to make the clever runs time after time. Our movement is poor imo. The best passers of the ball still need movement and players creating space and we have very little of that. Our game is getting balls across the six yard box and I think that will work pretty well if we can get someone in that is decent in the air and good at getting across defenders. Myko may do ok when he gets back and so could Bowie but we need an addition that is expected to play

[Unseen work]

Intrigued to see how Josh Mulligan gets on today in the derby

Was brilliant against us at right wing back and imo it’s a position we need to strengthen

Triantis got on the ball plenty today and created 4 chances - only N Cadden (v County) and Hoillet (v Motherwell) have created more in a league game this season.

Our problem today was poor delivery from wide areas combined with no presence in the box to get on the end of things. I’d have put O’Hora on instead of McKirdy and moved Rocky up front which would have at least given the St Johnstone centre backs something to think about, it was far too easy for them.

[Centre Hawf]

I think after an albeit disappointing draw against St Johnstone it's important to not panic and go into meltdown mode. We've just won 4 on the spin and played a lot better football on the whole over the last 7 or so games. I don't think today told us anything new about anyone or what we needed.

We need a new striker to help ease the load of Gayle and Bowie when he returns.
We could do with a body in midfield that can actually contribute and impact games and maybe a nice lovely playing number 10 to join him too.

We know Dylan Levitt isn't fancied (although I did think he moved the ball well enough today). And Kwon isn't a good enough replacement for Joe Newell. We know Harry McKirdy isn't at the level needed.

Guys like Miller and Rocky are probably unlikely to be shipped out this window unless someone really wants them and that's fine as we can't do everything in one January window.

[CapitalGreen]

In terms of strikers we could sign, take a look at jatta from Notts county, exactly type we need. In fact Notts county have a few players worth looking play some terrific stuff.

I agree. I think the reality is we're going to have to live with the guys who are starting for us. There is no point debating on Chris Cadden or Boyle or anyone else with 6 months left on their deal for example when we have much more glaring issues to sort first.

[BSEJVT]

Would hope so

Youan has been leaving since before he got here :-)

Rocky will never lose the knack of something totally stupid and can never ever be relied on not to.

We are absolutely stupid if we renew any contracts at this stage.

Hibs are the best gig any of these players will ever get and if we need to renew contracts later in the season for the sake of having bodies next then the recruitment arm continue to fail

Surprised at that as I can’t remember him creating many chances at all. He got the assist with the header yeah. He also had a shot that was saved after a good run

Not even Triantis but I just can’t remember us creating good chances at all today.

My point is I don’t think he goes and demands it in the way Levitt or a Mcgeouch would. The caveat though is that he offers a lot more defensively than Levitt who showed his weakness defensively a couple of times today

Agree about it being far too easy today for st Johnstone

[Cabbage-Patch]

Mentioned on another thread but Rocky again showing he's not good enough to be our regular starting CB. Hope we are definitely looking at this position in January. If Rocky were to leave it may be best for all parties.

We also desperately need an out and out 9 and a long term replacement for Newell

When's the last time we managed to bring in one player on a permanent deal who demonstrated genuine "quality" who wasn't completely past it? Not being cheeky, genuinely can't remember... Boyle when we resigned him?

Generally speaking we're signing mediocre / sub par players who are not going to elevate us beyond mid table. Hope that can change.

If we are to only buy in three players then I would say a goalie and a striker are a must. I then think we should probably look at a centre mid. If Newell is out then we will need better than Kwon.

[GreenCastle]

Youan is obviously being kept away from playing to avoid any injuries - hope to be proved wrong but with what happened in the league cup game getting injured in a nothing challenge I don’t think Hibs will risk it again and will cash in this January.

It was noticeable last week and today we missed him a lot - his maverick ability to do something different.

I also said there was no-incidence he was waving corner flags around not really caring as he won’t be in Scottish football much longer - again maybe looking too much into it but just too much of a co-incidence. Really hope he stays but can’t see it.

We have picked up recently but we are still missing quality all over and competition for places.

Hibs Observer an hour ago post todays game

"Joe took a knock just before half-time in the last game. He has been nursing a groin issue for a wee while that he's been able to play through. Unfortunately, he went into that tackle last week and he's not quite recovered from it yet," Gray explained.

“We’re still positive he will. We just need to monitor it carefully. I'll wait and see how he recovers. Élie should be available as well. He's unfortunately been slower to recover than we thought he would. I did think he would make it today, but he is getting there, and it should be days rather than anything else. But there's nothing too concerning there," he added.

I have been impressed by Jed Drew, RW with McArthur FC. He is 21, and has a bit of speed to him.
Played 9 games this season in the A-League with 5 goals and 5 assists.
He made his debut in 22/23 season, and has played 4 times for the Australian U20’s.
His improvement coincides with the team playing better, but he could well attract attention from European clubs, lower divisions, if his form continues in this vein.
I imagine he would be a cheap punt, and the SPL is a step up from where he is, but at his age he still has time to develop.

Quality player but horrific injury record. A bit of a risk

[Smartie]

Levitt is at least a bit of a contrast to the others. If it was Newell or Campbell out, I might be tempted to go with Levitt.

If it was Triantis, Kwon (for all his failings) is probably a reasonable alternative for that role.

Even with just the departures of JDH and Kenneh we look like we’ve trimmed a bit of fat from that position and with an injury or two we start to look thin for cover again. We now look sort of stuck between needing Jacob McIntyre getting valuable experience in the first team on loan and needing to bring him back and having him around the first team.

I see the guy I mentioned ( R.Kone ) scored again . That’s 12 goals in 23 games now .

Celtic close to resigning Tierney

Brilliant signing if they can keep him fit which given his track record seems unlikely.

[Cabbage-Patch]

BBC reporting we are after a keeper, Attacking Centre Mid and a striker. Throw in a CB and i will be happy with that

[Unseen work]

Said it a couple of times but go get Noah Chilvers as the number 10

Got a goal against Aberdeen yesterday and speaking to my Aberdeen supporting mates he was brilliant

[Hibernian2105]

Anyone remember we were interested in Jake Brimmer a few years ago? He’s currently at Foleys team in Australia and he’s playing well in the 10 spot.
Take?

He's had a good couple of weeks, before that he hadn't scored or assisted since September. Bit early to be championing taking him in January IMO, see how he does the rest of the season.

Dhanda looked good at RC too.

Nah, our experiments with aussie players and coaches hasn't really worked in all honesty has it? Asides Jamie McLarens 1st spell wouldn't say any of the guys have been a major success really

[TrinityHFC]

Wouldn't even be allowed to play for us this season due to playing for both Dundee United and Wrexham. I imagine Wrexham will probably renew his contract if he keeps up this form or move on to a better team on a pre contract. Surely a few championship teams taken notice.

Plenty players who have done nothing their career then had a good six months in Scotland. I doubt he will be moving on to much better things.

[Nicho87]

Kwon must be dynamite in training

To be fair, Kwon only started last two games as newell been injured

The fact he’s still coming in before Levitt just further proves my belief Levitt will probably move on sooner rather than later.

Love to know what the 'non eyes' stats say 😁

The passing, the assists, the duals etc ?

Can't say he's been a stand out for me.

You do tend to get the names of anyone who’s had a couple of decent recent games mentioned as possible signings every window.

Good player of course, but an absolute crock.

Missed masses of games when he was there last time, will miss even more this time. Hopefully I’m wrong, but he’s been regularly injured for years now, it’s unlikely to start getting better as he gets older/has had to recover from more and more injuries.

With posters having previously said Amos was told he wouldn’t feature much as Gray didn’t sign him. I wonder if Kwon keeps getting opportunities he doesn’t appear to merit is because Gray did sign him. Possibly NMW & Levitt can feel a bit hard done by as they’ve not had the opportunities Kwon has. Though none of of our midfielders are the answer, so not like whatever permutation is the answer for anything more than a top 6 battle.

I don’t think Gray will care who signed them, it is whether or not he thinks they will benefit the team. He signed Kwon because he thought he would do a job for the team and for the most part he has contributed more than the various midfielders who aren’t in the plans.

Are they paying 600k to the team willing to take him? Boy is gash

[greenginger]

Centre forward Baah at Watford would be a good addition but I hear the Sheep are interested ! :greengrin

Away to DC united by the sounds of it, looks like he will be a replacement for Matai Akinmboni who just joined Bournemouth, both LCB's

He’s with Auckland FC in New Zealand.

I wouldn’t like us to sign him.

So long as they are all good that should be enough. Think we are probably ok at CB.

We are not ok at cb imo. We need better quality in there for me, still lose too many goals from silly mistakes

If all 3 were starters and we get Bowie, Newall and Ekpiteta back we would be ok

I do get that, it’s just when I watch him I immediately think “He’s a Hibs style player”

Dhanda was a weird one for me. As a number 10 he always seemed like he just wanted to drift wide and cross it to Jordan White etc. Gave me slight reservations as i don’t think we’d want him to play like that

[Since452]

McKirdy will hopefully be away this month. Looked like a wee laddie when he came on yesterday. About to turn 28. Just don't see it working for him in this league.

Agree big time. Miller looked decent there vs Killie but at st Johnstone looked shaky and ultimately gave them a stupid corner which led to the penalty.

O’Hora verdict is still out for me on him. Love Rocky to bits but ultimately he simply cannot be a starter for us

I agree but I’m just thinking about what’s possible in one window. CB would be last of those 4 areas I would fix.

Looks like a panic sale where the player wanted out at all costs

If they line up with Halkett and McCart against Brechin in the cup tie I'll be putting money on Brechin to score first

Not really the BBC - it's their 'gossip' page reporting what the 'not the old firm' website thinks we should be looking for. Which is a wee bit different.

The Web link is here: https://www.nottheoldfirm.com/transfers/hibs-january-transfer-wishlist-as-david-gray-targets-three-positions/

Harry's not had it easy with major surgery and trying to get back reckon he needs a move to get back on track its just not happening with Harry and likes of Levitt

I think we got Kwon when Malky had his cosy chat with Rogers at the same time Rogers told him we had no chance of getting McCowan so you can put your £1 mill bid in to fool your fans

Hearts selling Rowles for 600k and getting McCart on a free is good business imo.

Not quite the 2-5 million hearts thought they were getting 🤣

Seen one person in twitter mention Youan to FC Basel. Can't find anyone else anywhere talking about this.

How they got that for Rowles is anyone's guess. I don't think McCart is an upgrade on him though thankfully

[Silky]

I don't know if we were after him as such. Think he was foisted upon us by Bournemouth!!

[sauzee1989]

We only signed him before and he had to go back due to injury 😂 I would count that as after him

Aye, Kone looks a really good striker in league one also some cracking finishes , Wycombe are flying, they play with some really attacking midfielders and full backs. Another team worth sending a scout down to watch along with Notts co.

McCart is hardly the ball playing centre half they need for Critchleyball.
