Winter transfer thread 2024/25

[Gmack7]

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 🤣

I thought they'd be paying a fee as he is still under contract

[JohnM1875]

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

Aye, for £2 mil apparently. Can’t find it reported anywhere though. Think that was the chat last time it was rumored he was away.

[Springbank]

In fairness would be a good move for Elie
Basel have been poor for last couple of years but got their shxt together last summer, signed a rejuvinated Shaqiri & are flying better this season

[Cabbage-Patch]

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

Exactly. Plus we tried to get him in the summer but he got injured again. Maybe a sign we should move on

[Cabbage-Patch]

I'm 50/50 witn this one. He obviously wants away however he's only just started to show signs of the player he was in previous seasons. I would keep him until the summer and then move him on. If we do it in January then we need to splash the cash on a worthy replacement

[04Sauzee]

4.5 year contract for McCart according to this account, could be a slavery.

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.

We've looked after Harry but it's time to move him on.

Bournemouth sign Young American defender Akinmboni. I thought he would be a certainty to be sent on loan to us but from reading the quotes, it sounds like he is staying with their development squad. Might be one for us in the summer though.

He will be 28 in June so 32 when his mega super contract ends or as you’ve said he moves for tens of millions to a bigger but less famous club!

Maybe, he’s not played any football since August so he certainly wouldn’t be ready to play on Sunday if he signed tomorrow 😃

Might be a case of seeing what he’s like in training, if Bournemouth are impresses with his levels they might want to send him for first team football, if they think it’ll take a bit longer, he’ll probably stay with them.

I don’t know anything about him though I would think if he’s only played 13 times in the MLS he must have something about him when Bournemouth have snapped him up .. also think you make a fair point too though.

Yes agree, he’s not at Bournemouth for fun, but imo we are still in a relatively precarious position - as are most of the league - and we need 3 or 4 proven, high quality players to take us through to the end of the season.

[Silky]

I'm honestly conflicted. I think we've signed so many "proven" players in the past who have been keech that I'd be willing to take a punt.

I’d say look at our last few “project signings” and ask yourself if what we need is a Melkersen, Haugue, Jasper, Mueller or that absolute huddy of a CB from Middlesbrough.

Even the current squad is riddled with failed experiments: McKirdy, NMW, Levitt, Tavares and to a lesser extent Vente were all project players who have been less than impressive.

Sign proven quality, supplement with projects/youngsters, not the other way around.

Levitt was never what I would consider a project player. He’d shown plenty ability in our league but for whatever reason it hasn’t worked out for him.

I wouldn’t even term McKirdy as a project either to be fair. He’s just no very good.

The huddy of a CB from Boro is attracting interest from the Premiership and is apparently worth Millions now. Mental eh 😂

I think the difference with this guy and the ones you have mentioned is the black knights and our links to Bournemouth. This young guy is very highly rated and wanted by top clubs in Europe, Bournemouth just managed to win the signature for him. Our other project signings you mentioned were either signed for our failed B team or must have been a 3rd party recommendation, if Bournemouth are paying into the millions for this guy I think it’s fair to assume he’s a good player, whether he’s right for us just now or not, people who have seen him play will be better placed to judge than you or I.

St.Johnstone in for Calvin Ramsey on loan, just cut short his loan to Wigan

[Hibees1973]

If we have £1m kicking around after failing to get McCowan, go and get Jason Kerr from Wigan.

Has had a good number of games now after his injury and has proven his fitness.

At 27 will be a shoe in as captain and we will get the best Jason Kerr for 4-5 years.

Centre Back is one of our problem positions and this would solve it.

Edit: Looks like Toby Sibbick has been playing RB for them...

[04Sauzee]

Calvin Ramsay would be a really good addition at right wing back imo

Based on his time at Aberdeen? He hasn't played much since , think he may have been injured? He's played something like 550 minutes for Wigan this season and I think he's been played mostly at RB and even LB on one occasion.

Levitt is done at Hibs. He hadn’t played for a while got a chance on Thursday. First five looked bright and pushing forward. Then just reverted to type - sideways passing only moving the ball on then his classic pass straight to the opposition.

Another Doyle Hayes

[Mainstandman]

Hibs missed a great chance to sign Lyle Cameron in the summer. Better option for us and I don’t think anyone would have bid against us, Dundee prob would have been happy to keep McGowan. Feel that ship has sailed now.

Far to many people continuously wanting to give these type of players chance after chance

Keep saying it but the management team see them every day, the fact Levitt isn’t forcing his way in over 18 months and 3 managers says to me he’s not good enough, consistently at least.

He was out injured for 18 months, to leave on a free after they got him back to fitness would have been a real slap in the face. Signing a new deal was the honourable thing to do.

If we need a right back/wing back why not sign Keelan Adams from Falkirk. Megwa plus some cash should do it.

Sorry didn’t see the game. I think he’s a good playmaker and good on the ball. Like most SPFL players he’s inconsistent but will be good more than poor. He’s certainly something we don’t have and need I think. I think he brings others into the game, can shoot and make telling passes.

Not saying we should keep Levitt, because I think his lack of running ability is his main issue.

But thought he did well when he came on and was the one player with the passing ability and brains to spread the play against 10 men, which we missed hugely against Killie.

[truehibernian]

Getting rid of JDH is excellent, Levitt could be used as a player swap and cash hopefully- I’d definitely be looking at Cameron from Dundee using Levitt as a player swap and cash.

Shifting McKirdy would also be a must.

Genuinely insane we’re involved with a club doing that well in recruitment they’re attracting interest from the biggest football club in the world. That’s following on from selling Solanke for £60 mil I’m sure.

Obviously we’ll never be anything like that, but, I can’t help but think if we follow their model and listen to them, there’s every chance we could cement ourselves as best of the rest.

[Donegal Hibby]

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.

Plymouth were rumoured to be interested in this guy before Rooney was sacked , valued quite highly though coming near the end of his contract I think , apparently one of the fastest players going….

[Forza Fred]

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.

He’s certainly getting a bit more prominence after his ‘worldie’’ against WSW but honestly at the moment at least he wouldn’t be a Signing candidate for me.

That’s not to say I’m right and your wrong…it’s just that he doesn’t seem to get in the game often enough for me, and think he’d struggle with the close marking he’d get in the SPFL as opposed to what seems cavernous space afforded attackers in the A League.

Hibs have wasted millions signing ‘developing’ players, and I think he’d have to do more than he has to date to interest them.

Should we monitor him?

Absolutely, as we should for any player who is considered a developing talent.

Hopefully that's the perks of being a part of Black Knights group. Much like the uglies do here, any stand out players in the A-league they keep an eye on and sign. If they're good enough then they filter through the system and make their way to us.

Genuinely insane we’re involved with a club doing that well in recruitment they’re attracting interest from the biggest football club in the world. That’s following on from selling Solanke for £60 mil I’m sure.

Obviously we’ll never be anything like that, but, I can’t help but think if we follow their model and listen to them, there’s every chance we could cement ourselves as best of the rest.

Whoever got 60 m for Solanke deserves a medal

Rangers will be staying in Edinburgh tonight so as long as the teams are there the game will be on and it’ll be folks own decision whether they travel or not.

Saw it at the end of November, day we were at Dundee, when every game ended up kicking off at a different time as they pushed them all back to make sure they went ahead.

Wrexham. English league one. Hibs are so far down the food chain it's scary.

Jack Stevens from Solihull Moors fc in the English conference could be a good gamble for us. He's just turned 24, played 19 and scored 12 from the left wing this season.

Have we signed anyone yet this window?

Edit: to add the words “this window” for the benefit of those as pedantic as me 😂

I see in the BBC gossip, Celtic are likely to get rid of centre half Maik Nawrocki. No idea what he’s like but it would be worth signing him just so we can have a back pairing of Rocky and Nawrocki.

More so reflective on how awash the English leagues are with TV money generated from the Premiership.

No other 3rd tier team in Europe could afford a sum close to that, and plenty top tier teams also couldn’t, so I don’t think Scottish football is the anomaly there.

There are even the odd La Liga, Bundesliga and Serie A teams who rarely sign players at that amount.

He can only play for Wrexham or Utd this season as he's played for both already. Should anyone else want to sign him it can only be a pre or wait until the summer. Utd could sign him permanently this window but maybe he'd like to keep his options open.

To be fair, some of our best signings come with little in the way of rumour. The Manager and Black Knights know the areas we need to improve and, in fairness, last Jan they used this window to good effect. Fingers crossed that they get out the cheque book as a bit more depth could be the difference between top 6 or not.

I feel like we are now out of that trouble and Smith is fine for the rest of the season. If a really good long term option presents itself then we should obviously take it, but a short term 6 month fix is not needed IMO.

[Smartie]

I suspect our recent decent run will have removed some of the panic that might’ve been being felt a few weeks back.

Not that we don’t need players, the bench at Perth re-emphasised our need for players who can contribute - but I suspect that the desperation to get a lot of business done quickly will have eased a bit as we’re not really staring disaster in the face any more.

Arguably it could be a good thing that we’re prepared to wait for the right players rather than thrust sticking plasters around asap.

I’m not as convinced with Smith. Think we have been on a good run and he has been ok but he hasn’t convinced me. Against Killie he had one shot to deal with all game and fluffed it(luckily it resulted in them being down to 10 men). And we know we have no back up for him that can be relied upon. I really think we need a keeper this window. Either on loan or permanent.

TBH he had pretty much nothing to do against saints? I'm not sure he's really been tested much other than the Celtic game within this run. what he's done has been mostly competent / consistent and it's looked like there's a game plan for him to leave cross balls into the box to the defenders.

like others, I think we need better but I'm more comfortable with him as a back up now though, question is what we are able to do about Bursik who clearly isn't going to get back into the team

To be fair it has heavy Maolida vibes, other than the length of time out the game.

Boetius last game time was playing for Mainz in the Bundesliga. He was in the squad basically all of the 22/23 season making 10 starts and 10 sub appearances.

When he was coming back up the road from QPR and Marciano was clearly leaving I felt he was the ideal replacement at the time. I think the reality is that any keeper that plays every week for a mid table SPFL team will likely be shown up on occasion.

[sleeping giant]

Opinions eh, I thought he was terrible.

I thought Kwon was absolutely fine today, he’s a better player than NMW I think so I would continue to play him ahead of him when required.

He looked so unfit the day. The amount of times Rangers players ran off his was ridiculous. One thing NMW always give you is energy and desire.

[Unseen work]

I thought kwon was alright today and then tired very very quickly

[Golden Bear]

Kwon looked as though he was running in a field of cement today.

We can do better surely.

[jeffers]

So did I. Just before he was subbed his running was very laboured.

[PatHead]

Think you are in a minority of one in that assessment. I was pleased when we signed him but hasn't done much to earn a place in the team.

[Silky]

No Zander Clark on the bench for Hearts today. "Injured" apparently

Ahh, same "injuy" Youan has.

[Billy Whizz]

That was always planned, his present contract will expire shortly. Let's hope he gets a chance to prove himself at ER before the end of the season.

So he’s going into the 1st team squad?

Be aswell let guys like Aiken take the 5th/6th choice centre mid instead of Amos etc

Can’t beat a signing before a game

Great news

Imagine the meltdown if Hibs had posted that during a losing streak like at the end of November?[emoji51]

Lyall Cameron scoring for Dundee. I will disappointed if we are not lining up a move

[AdidasHibernian]

Cameron from Dundee would be a no brainer.


Worries me people think Kwon played ok today, he is terrible and was poor today in my opinion. Always looks like he is playing in 2nd gear.

[Billy Whizz]

Not disagreeing with this. Think Amos wants away, but Murray hasn’t played much at Airdrie of late

[Golden Bear]

Don't know. His loan was up at the end of December. I think he was fielded out to see how well he's recovered from last season's bad injury. He then got another injury a couple of months ago and has only recently returned to first team action with Airdrie.

[Malthibby]

I wouldn’t be rushing to sell NMW after today’s game. Apart from one mistake, played very well and a definite upgrade on Kwon.

Think he had two misplaced passes but really took it The Rangers, aggressive and clever & helped push us forward at the end of the game.
I'm a fan, mind.

[Hibiza]

Kwon is just another midfield deadweight.

[JohnM1875]

I thought Kwon was absolutely fine today, he’s a better player than NMW I think so I would continue to play him ahead of him when required.

Surely not? He was abysmal. Constantly out of position and looked burst after 30 mins. As bad a performance as I can remember in recent times. Hate saying that, but it was honestly that bad.

[Sheffhibee]

Kwon is just another midfield deadweight.

Yes I agree, doesn't seem able to have a tackle either. No pace, hope Newell is back from injury soon, we really miss him when he's out.....

[Hibby70]

Ahh, same "injuy" Youan has.

Ellie was definitely limping when I saw him today. Looks like he is in a bit of pain with it.

[erin go bragh]

Thought our midfield improved considerably when Kwon went off but almost everyone is giving NMW it tight 😂

[Silky]

Well, Newell wasn't playing, so someone had to get it tight today! 🤣

[JohnM1875]

One bad pass that eventually led to their goal. But his energy and speed about the pitch is decent. If he could be coached to improve his passing we’d have a player on our hands.

[Brightside]

Kwon was awful. He looks injured. Send him back asap.

[A Hi-Bee]

We improved 100% once Kwon went off, NMW provided the energy and aggression that Campbell and Trantis needed to grow into the game ending up very strong.

[Unseen work]

2 away wins in a row since Kenneh went to Ross county….sure it’s just a coincidence 🤣

[S4uzee]

Thought he’d have been sent on loan to a different league tbh

[Murphys Touch]

We’ve had a top notch festive period, best in my lifetime probably!

However that starting line-up and bench today showed me need a couple of really proactive windows if we want to improve and get consistency. The guys have done brilliant but Miller, Rocky, Smith, Campbell, C Cadden should compliment the team - not be mainstays. And certainly not all of them at once

[I'm Spartacus]

Is Zander Clark signing? I can't see any chat on here, maybe I've not gone far back enough.

[blackpoolhibs]

Kwon was awful. He looks injured. Send him back asap.

When he first signed i thought he was neat and tidy but that was about it, he now looks as the grounds have got a bit heavier a player with no strength in his legs, he's very slow as if he just cant get round the park, i'd have Levitt or NMW every time before him.

[04Sauzee]

There was chat about a pre-contract agreement this window. There was also talk about the ex Sheffield Wednesday keeper Dawson. Both were mentioned in the presa, but it's gone really quiet again.

[Paul1642]

Ross County’s from has the potential to help us. Their last 2 wins were certainly good for us. As long as we have included a clause that he can’t play against us then so be it.

[Ozyhibby]

Now is the time we need to start making moves. Festive fixture all done. Let’s strengthen properly for the rest of the season.

[Is It On....]

Was looking through results and we have had 4 clean sheets in 22 league games so would love it if we could sign a "Rob Jones calibre" centrehalf 🤞

[Tambo]

Whoever we bring in should be first team ready, a number 10 and a CB to start with, would love a RB also.

Let's get more more outs and some ins next week please Hibs.

Or you could we’re only 3 points from the play off spot due to them winning their last two tough away fixtures

[Keepthefaith]

of course, but we're only 8 behind Aberdeen and Dundee Utd too. we will strengthen so there's no reason to not feel more confident. county's resurgence has been a surprise but also shows what we've all known that bar Celtic we can go toe to toe with any team, and there's very little between 3rd and 11th. you have to say that our team spirit and fight puts us in a great mindset to really push on

st johnstone look gone and I have to say killie look vulnerable with their lack of goals and with Armstrong refusing to sign a new deal and possibly away this window

[Paul1642]

I’m looking up, not down.

If we end up in the play off spots and / or behind Ross County, then a lot more has gone wrong than loaning out Noah Kenneh.

[yerauldda]

2 away wins in a row since Kenneh went to Ross county….sure it’s just a coincidence 🤣

He’s been excellent according to one of their fans on pieandbovril. Good on him.

[1875M]

Would be looking to get 1/2 in this window at least. If it’s 1, but genuine quality, I’d take that over 3/4 average players who are going to inflate the wage bill.

Complete agree. A signing of Myziane Maolida‘s calibre could make all the difference, just like last year. I feel like this is a better team to come into right now than the Hibs of last January.

I think we need 2 though. A striker incase Bowie’s return is not as swift and smooth as we hope, and a CM because with even one injury such as Newell’s right now, our depth is of poor quality.

I mean aye, fair play to him. But it's been two games. I thought Tom James looked decent after a couple of games.

[hfc-1875]

At least 1 centre back, a centre mid, a number 10 and a striker please

[one day maybe...]

He runs like he is trying to hold something between his arse cheeks!

lol I said today at the game he runs like his laces are tied together. But your analogy is better

[Donegal Hibby]

I don’t think he will be too happy moving from the hertz bench to the Hibs one .. Smiths deserves to remain No. 1 in my book now .

[stevie-bee]

I thought the hairs on his arse where tied together

[chippy]

Bring him in and let them fight for no 1 and let Bursik go or be 3rd choice.

[JimBHibees]

Agree his running style is very odd.

[04Sauzee]

Fair few Rangers fans very keen on Lyall Cameron and are convinced he's very keen on signing.
