Summer transfer thread 2025

[04Sauzee]

It would be interesting to hear Fred’s opinion on this and if he’s heard anything about this player and can he give us his thoughts on this one too …

Yengi to Hearts sounds like a strange one tbh, he scored 2 goals last season and both of them were for Australia. Doesn't seem to have played loads of games for a 26 year old although he has had a number of international caps.

[04Sauzee]

Brian Graham could be Dunfermline bound.

It appears it wasn't Graham it was a Chris Hamilton contract extension 😅

Nice to see Celtic picking up some much needed cash after Frimpong ( I've little memory of him ) was sold by Leverkusen for £29m . Their selling on share £5m.
With Rangers ,Hearts and Aberdeen receiving large cash injections it's could be quite a struggle replicating this season's finish.

Brilliant player. One of the recent few who has actually moved on from Celtic and easily made the step up.

Superb player. The more they attract to the Scottish game the better.

On your last point there’s plenty debunking the idea of helping hibs to the tune of £150.

Recruitment and selling players on is vital but we should be doing anything we can to help our owner who has consistently stepped up.

Jamestown have come up with the boy we looked at and decided wasn't good enough couple months ago

A few of them wondering who’s signing he actually is .. Jamestown or McInnes because he’s 6’3 ? . A few dafties delighted they beaten us to him😂. McInnes described him as a baller with a good physical presence . Checked the Walsall forum and most aren’t to fussed about losing him .

This is just it. Budge/McKinlay and Co have mentioned Jamestown at pretty much every opportunity yet no mention with this signing.

More than happy for them to sign League two players especially one who’s not started many games of late. We obviously didn’t think he was what we needed or better than we had.

He a standout in that league according to my Jambo chums and will make them millions. Make of that what you will!

What makes you think they spend that money well? Aberdeen signed a few guys in January and none of them were anything special, Hearts have been well backed by FOH and their backers for years and again are nothing to fear. Rangers should be miles ahead and aren’t so I don’t see why we should be worrying about any of those sides as their ability to spend money on decent signings has never happened in my eyes.

I'd imagine all those clubs mentioned will eventally get some signings right, just with the law of averages they will at some stage get better.

Pretty sure there's nothing in that. Shankland is out of contract so there's no offer to be 'tabled'. They might have spoken to him directly though.

Seems like the majority of their fans think he's a good player and that they should keep him.

Be interesting if we are in for him. I know we've lost (for the time being at least, Triantis) but we do have plenty midfielders. Newell, Manneh, Levitt, Campbell, NMW and McGrath. Trying to keep Hoilett too by the sounds of it.

6 midfielders should be enough for squad rotation and injuries. If we do bring in Xavier or try and get Triantis back, then I could see NMW and or Campbell going. Although, Campbell does give us Scottish representation for Europe.

None of those are a proper DM though, Campbell and MCGrath are better further forward, Levitt is a playmaker, Manneh and NMW more box2box, Triantis was the only one we had who looked like a proper DM and he may not be back. Newell is a sort of bit of all of these.

Triantis was much more bo to box imo. Especially the second half of the season. Levitt was the deepest sitting player. Newell usually plays the sitting role as well. Get neither could be described as a defensive midfielder, but we haven't really been playing one.

Not saying I don't think we should always be looking to improve by the way, we absolutely should, just a position we're pretty stacked in. Saying that, can see NMW moving on.

Been loaned out a lot, but he's been capped at every level below under 21 by England, which you would hope indicates under fulfilled potential. Considering he's been unable to nail down a place at Hull City who escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth that doesn't look great, but he played ( according to transfer market ) 16 times for Wycombe Wanderers after being loaned to them in February, and they made the EFL league one playoff final.

If it helps, there's a picture of him in his England kit where he looks a bit like Jude Bellingham :greengrin

Wee bit disappointed it’s not the boy Xavi Simons that plays for Lepizig I think and probably worth around £50 odd million.

If we cannae get him, this other guy seems alright I suppose.

Aye. Triantis was generally higher up the pitch than Levitt but we don’t really play with a DM in the current setup.

id be delighted with all three, be very satisfied with two. If we lost all three I think that link with a wonderful second half of the season would be gone. All players can be replaced, but the team spirit and connection seemed special and still be a shame if it happens.

I don’t think Triantis will be back. Doubtful on Rocky, it has to be at the point where if he doesn’t take it we move on. Hoilett, I thought, would have been quite straightforward to deal with. Only thing I can see being and issue with him is that he’ll want to play every week even at his age. He won’t do that here.

[andrew70]

Could well be that we’ve put that out there to alert Sunderland to the fact we are moving on if no decision made soon.

Mackay is a shrewd operator, I am sure we will be looking to ensure deals are over the line well before the European games.

Also Triantis is clearly unsettled going by the reasoning behind his withdrawal from the Australian squad. He’ll be wanting a quick resolution too.

Just a guy I know said a fee has been agreed with Sunderland, the transfer window is open today.

It's up to Triantis if he wants to hang around Sunderland or if his agent is weighing up other offers and decide later. It's really strange this window, open today but closes on 10 June for the World Club Cup, then opens again on 16 June.

Guess Hibs trying to get some stuff done early as we start European games earlier than hoped.

The guy that feeds this stuff to me can be a bit speculative. Out of all the stuff he has said over the years only a couple of them came to fruition. Nisbet from Dunfermline & Levitt from Dundee Utd are good examples.

Maybe there is something in this as Hibs Obsever does appear to be a bit like a mouthpiece for the club at times.

I think it was to specifically cater for those clubs in the World Club championship or whatever it is called.

Aye, just read that too about the 1st June window.

“This applies only to the 20 national associations with clubs playing in the competition”

So our window will be;

“Monday 16 June and closing on Monday 1 September at 19:00 BST, a slightly earlier time than the traditional 23:00 BST close that has been used.”

Though with Sunderland now being a Premier League club maybe that would change things?

I would be happy for us to spend most of our transfer budget on Triantis if that would be the case, every player has bad games, thought he was really good for the majority of the season and looked better than the season before.

I don't see why his performances would drop if he was to come back, 4 year deal with a plan to make some good money on him in the future.

I'm guessing the Hoilett will be down to family and would love Rocky to sign the deal ASAP.

[I'm_cabbaged]

I think that’s what he was meaning .

He’s a jambo. I’d argue against that

[MagicSwirlingShip]

No way we’ll ditch the back three IMO. We do need to be prepared to be flexible at times I think, or teams will figure out ways to counter it. With the players we have we should be able to flip at certain points in games without too much of an issue.

I suppose that’s a possibility in I’d imagine we will be facing some really stiff competition for Triantis and you’re talking about a million quid to get him , Simons is rated at €700k on transmarkt and again I think there’s other clubs interested in him going by reports . I can’t see us taking two at the money it would take to get them , plus the fact that Newell could play that role too .

Plenty of ways hibs can dress it up

Targets being reached: top 4 finish - pay hull extra cash
Win a cup: pay hull cash
Sell of fee: 20% of sale back to hull for example

I think a max bid hibs would do is £1 million maybe with a few of the above chucked in also, IF we go for it

Maybe things have changed though we did try and get McCowan for a million . I think we will try for Triantis though wither Sunderland are willing to let him go for what we can pay , will their be other clubs interested that he might feel are a better opportunity for him .. who knows.

I’ve been wrong many times, but I can’t see Triantis signing for us any time soon for a number of reasons.

The most obvious is cost…..Sunderland, like any club, will want as much as they can get for him, and a championship club would easily outbid us, not to mention overseas clubs.

Also, Sunderland has a newish manager, and it would seem prudent they get him in for pre season training and a couple of friendlies to gauge his current worth before just offloading him.

Last but not least…given the choice in playing in the EPL or even the Championship would pay him a lot more than we could pay, and these leagues are seen by most neutral commentators…and certainly here in Oz as being further up the ladder than the SPFL.
Most Oz players who come to the SPFL are sold on it being a ‘pathway’ to the English leagues, and despite his enjoyable time at Hibs, I think there is an inner desire to play at what he would see as a higher level.

Only really closes for those in the club World Cup. Everyone else can just carry on. As far as Hibs are concerned the window is open now and we can sign whoever. Just have to wait to register them.

I don’t think it’s out of the question.

It was clearly Grays favoured formation when he came in. He may view 3-5-2 as nothing more than a means to an end and attempt to get back to what he prefers this summer. He may also of course decide if it’s not broken don’t fix it.

I definitely don’t think we can rule it out though.

I definitely don’t think we can rule it out though.

A lot of the games we either lost or drew was down to silly basic errors like red cards or mistakes at the back, Gray moved to a 352 because it suited the players but also it stabilised the defence, also remember it was this time we changed keeper. 4231 I don't think suits Nicky Cadden as he's not really an out and out winger, more of a wide midfielder/wingback and also with this system you need a proper DM, which we don't really have, our midfielders are generally playmakers or box2box type, I can see him staying with 352, if it's not broken don't change it.

On the cost front, we probably could offer Sunderland an acceptable fee for him. If Nectar wants to sign for us - not necessarily leave Sunderland, only for us - then what other clubs offer for him is by and large not really relevant.

For Triantis, yes he could go to another Championship club but he won't get the chance to play in Europe if he does that, as it stands he's got the chance to sign for us and play 4 European games as a minimum.

I think if all parties are willing we could come to an acceptable agreement for Nectar to come back to Hibs, Sunderland to get a decent sell on fee and Nectar to showcase his talents and follow the John McGinn route to the EPL. Sunderland are already in the EPL, but they are going to have to bring in better players than Nectar to stay there. As good as he's been this season there's no way he's starting PL 11 quality yet.

[MJ hibs]

Nectar has another couple years on his deal at Sunderland? They could just decide to loan him out again.

One more year to develop as a midfielder and possibly play for them when they likely go back down next term.

[Hibernian Verse]

After having a look on the Sunderland forum and seen this thread , guessing because he pulled out of the Aussie squad or something more in it ? 🤔…

https://www.readytogo.net/smb/threads/triantis.1657478/

Reading that thread made me hope they go down with under 10 points next season.

[Greenworld]

That is strange re the window - didn't realise that

I don't think that affects us though it's it's surely only our transfer window that matters when signing someone

Hope your right on the fee though - it would be a massive part of our team if we can get that done

It's a short career so I wouldn't begrudge him a move there. That said, he's had a good 6 months and staying with Hibs might be the best option for his career. A three year deal would take him into his prime, and from a Hibs point of view he's a very sellable asset if he continues his form for another season.

Depressing end to that sentence.

The average League One football player's weekly salary is around £7,000, with the top 100 earners earning that amount on average. While specific average salaries aren't as readily available for League One compared to higher leagues, this figure indicates a substantial income for players in the third tier of English football.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Top earners: The top 100 earners in League One average around £7,000 per week.
Number of high earners: In 2023-24, 52 League One players earned £6,000 or more per week, according to Salary Sport.
High earnings compared to UK average: These earnings, which can exceed £300,000 annually, are significantly higher than the average UK salary, according to William Hill News.

Egan-Riley was one of the best defenders in the Championship last season. Think West Ham, amongst others, are linked with him. Safe to say we’ll no be signing him.

If it's the top 100 earners that average £7k a week, then it'll be much less than £7k a week for the average League One player.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Reading that thread made me hope they go down with under 10 points next season.

Having read it, to be fair it was only two or three who showed the usual knee jerk disrespect to us and the league we play in.

Saying it's a huge jump from the championship to the EPL, never mind from the Scot Prem to the EPL isn't an unreasonable statement.

Saying Hibs would offer peanuts for Nectar, in the context of the market Sunderland now find themselves in, isn't that insulting ... in EPL terms a million quid, which would certainly be our max offer, is peanuts.

For the most part they were saying if he made the Scottish Premiership team of the year it would at least be worth holding on to him, even if it meant another loan to the English championship to see if his undoubted progress could be replicated in that league. Not an unreasonable take on things.

The fact is Sunderland, and their fans, have far bigger things to worry about than the merits of a player they had on loan to the Scottish premiership .............. In short, putting together a team strong enough to go to St James's park and not get an absolute pasting, never mind one that can avoid relegation from a league where that's swiftly becoming the norm for promoted teams :greengrin

[Since452]

I think Sunderland getting promoted increases our chances of signing him. He's never going to get in the Sunderland team in the EPL. In the championship he'd have had a chance.

Surprisingly it doesn't take that many bets for a price to tumble. Reckon a few weeks ago the Yam were around the same price as us and Aberdeen.

Guy I know in the betting industry advised it may take only around 20 decent sized bets for a price to reduce like this.

Wouldn't think there would be many more bets on a price like this. It's more than likely the price will increase in the next few weeks. Odds can vary wildly over different bookies. Our odds are as low as 40-1 with Betvictor which is nuts.

Newell is still out, Triantis may be away , Levitt last year of deal- is he staying ? NMW- is he away -not required so much. If this guy is higher quality - great. 2 games per week from July- September at least

Disappointed to lose Triantis but if we are moving quickly to get a replacement, that is good. Also good that we realise the need to recruit to replace rather than just rely on what we have, particularly with Newell due back.

I think Hibs will be/are still pursuing Triantis regardless of Simons. Probably NMW moving on I’d assume.

I just don't think any club in Scotland can keep a hold of their young talented players. I actually think Motherwell done really well to get Lennon Miller in to the First Team. But then his father is in the game and would of been giving him good advice. I was wanting Hibs to go for Bowie when he was at Raith but when Fulham came in it was no hope for that. I hope that the Bowie model is not the model of the future. There Scottish have to go to English clubs and pay 6 figure fees for players that started off at Scottish Clubs. It is getting beyond a joke.

They did say they want 2 players competing for each position, the revolution is starting, and will hopefully be televised. Although like most people I suspect, wasn't sure they would be both at this level! (Making lots of assumptions on Simon's level despite never having seen or heard of him before :-))

The biggest challenge here is they probably don't want to wait too long to take a risk in such an important position in our system, but equally and understandably Triantis has to take time to consider all his options and they probably are nowhere near complete at this moment. The biggest challenge is guys like Triantis often don't move till later in window unless a really top level offer comes in, certainly if Sunderland are looking to loan him again they may want a decent say in where he goes, and want to see what comes to the table.

Its a really tough one for Hibs to be fair, probably alongside Boyle in most important position to fill. I assume we want to have this bedded in long before European games.

Add in European games and the fact we want to improve and not stand still.

He’s the physical type of player Gray likes.

I don’t think this would stop us signing Triantis too if we had the chance.

Plus I feel like we aren’t just going to see how far we can go in these qualifiers and maybe get a glamour tie. The aim for BKFC will be to get us into the group stages and have quality players in all positions. Another point, i have a feeling Levitt will be away.

It's a good thing for the national team IMO.

This is it. It's the same as why some youngsters from the National youth set up went abroad, because they can be sold back to England for inflated fees like Hickey was.

[Jones28]

For sure. Last season it was the Yan Dhanda bandwagon, next it's Bloom + McInnes = the league's in the bag.

Screen shot taken, will be interesting to see which direction it goes.

No Hibs mention but Alfarela saying he doesn’t want to remain with Legia as a back up. Will meet the new manager to discuss when preseason begins June 16th.

Sunderland in advance talks with Dortmund over the sale of Jobe Bellingham. That will increase Sunderland's transfer budget you would assume. I don't think Triantis will be a Sunderland player next season, unfortunately I don't think he will be a Hibs player either.

Genuinely hasn’t looked good any time I’ve seen him (Jobe) play. Granted I've only seen him play a handful of times.

I don't think any business Sunderland do will impact Triantis' exit thankfully. He'll likely be in a separate camp of "sell if we get X offer" as I don't think he's on that level to be playing for them.

My only worry is that the promotion may have tipped his wages up and whoever he goes to might have to be a fairly high wage paying side to land him.

He's a nice wee player. Still quite raw/early days for him at 19 but he isn't the same as his brother who is a more attacking option, Jobe tends to play a little bit more deeper like a traditional centre mid and even in defensive areas. I think he'll do very well out in Germany and it's a good move now for him instead of getting lost in the bottom end of the Premier League imo.

If Sunderland are smart, they’ll probably have an eye on finding themselves back in the Championship the season after next.

Triantis might be a budget option in a key position leaving them to spend handsome parachute payments on star quality elsewhere in their team.

Keeping him on and loaning him out again whilst possibly extending his contract (on a prem wage that drops on relegation) is what I’d do if I were them.

The manager won’t be planning that far ahead. If Sunderland get relegated he’s likely out the job. He’ll want as big a budget as possible for making a fist of the Premier League which will mean bringing in fees for players not in his plans.

[KeithTheHibby]

Hibs, Aberdeen and the puddle drinkers should be circa 500/1 to win the league. How any bookie can price them at 20/1 is rediculous.

Potentially, but the reality of it is that he's probably not on their radar as a player that will make an impact at them regardless of what their Prem status in 12 months time.

He started the season and even captained us for a spell. Was actually only a very small window of games that he was displaced out the side for Miller at RCB. Never missed a game through injury and only an unused sub 6 times.

I think he's had a good solid season here and think he'll kick on next season.

He got better as the season went on but was one of our poorer players and a downgrade on Hanlon I reckon. Miller done better there and I was a bit surprised not to see Ekpiteta get a shot there.

Would like us to bring in another starting CB that puts WOH to backup.

He had a couple of iffy games I won't lie, but I also think the team was struggling as a whole and that probably made a lot of them look worse than they were.

I don't think Ekpiteta would suit any other role than middle of a three which is probably why he hasn't been used often. O'Hora can play both or in a 2 which leaves the door open to him being used more often. Miller has done well at RCB but I don't particularly see O'Hora as a drop off other than maybe in pace.

This is mental to me. I don’t understand why Tony Bloom is getting such a love in because they will now be using his “analytics”

Surely we all do? Surely what we did last year with BK is almost exactly if not exactly the same, with similar investment, yet the media seems to just have forgotten that?

The whole thing blows my mind

Former Celtic winger Daniel Arzani is a Hearts transfer target.

The 26-year-old is out of contract at the end of June after two productive seasons with Melbourne Victory.

Hibs could go to Tenerife and somehow Hearts would end up in elevenerife.

Best not to take notice of them, they seem to have this undying thirst of having to one up us every time, the old "Ma da could batter your da" vibes.

We all use analytics in different ways, however they seem to think it was invented by Tony Bloom.

Interesting one. Was a bit of a 'wonderkid' about 7 years ago when he went to Man City and then spent time on loan (and badly injured) at Celtic for about 2 seasons. There's definitely a player in there to some degree but he's spent the better part of his 20s now trying to get going and only recently started showing anything.

Only my opinion though I think O’Hora is probably more comfortable in possession than Ekpiteta .. not knocking Ekpiteta btw who I think is a good player too.

I get the vibe their going too far down the same path they did when they had Levein/Cathro/Stendel in charge, recruitment to me not making sense, buying players from leagues that don't have a great success rate over here that won't understand what big derby games etc mean.

Going to be hilarious when it inevitably implodes on them.

Doe to the the homegrown European requirements we are going to need to look at players we wouldn't usually go for. Prime example of this is Newcastle signing Tim Krul to meet the homegrown rules. Can't remember the exact rule but players under a certain age think it's 21 don't take up a registration slot so we can't just call up youth players.

[Jock O]

Not sure if this is best place but since I expect the 6 monthly rumour of him joining us, some interesting insight into Owen Bevan where he talks about his struggles. Only one year into a 4 year contract, so Bournemouth must see something in him. Hopefully gets back to full flight after his year out, not sure if it will be with us just yet.

We’ve not got enough money to just sign someone in that basis IMO. It’ll still need to be players who can come in and help make the squad better. Murray wouldn’t do that for me.
