Laddie looks a player

[Musselbound]

I see on the Swansea forum they were talking about reducing the size of their squad by moving on some fringe players. We actually got a mention along with Derby in “ we really need Derby and Hibs to get their cheque books out ‘ take it that was referring to us about Myko . I don’t know if Derby was for another player or are interested in Myko . At the right price would folk be happy to see him back or think we should move on ?

Does anybody have a cheque book these days? Answers on a postcard...

Yeah, I would take him at the right price. Wouldn't push the boat out too much though.

[Centre Hawf]

Wouldn’t mind Triantis and Henderson to deliver

Linked with Swansea and Bristol City. I'd be shocked if he was to end up back here.

Yeh would be a suprise but maybe earned decent money in Italy and wants to settle back here, fingers crossed 🤞

[Ribs1875]

Would be good for our European chances if we manage to hold onto Bushiri, then sign Porteous, Henderson, Triantis and Myko.

[Paul1642]

Would be good for our European chances if we manage to hold onto Bushiri, then sign Porteous, Henderson, Triantis and Myko.

Would be good for our Silverware and scooshing 3rd place chances aswell.

That squad would be the best Hibs team in a very very long time, and also quite settled from day 1.

[Hibs90]

Why couldn't we pay £1m/£1.5m?

Even if we sold him in say a year and he has another good season he's going to be worth at LEAST double that so we'd make our money back.

[Hibees1973]

One or two in panic mode already regarding the lack of players in.

Not getting guaranteed European Football until Christmas (at present) will have undoubtedly affected transfer planning. We will have less funds and I expect finances will be handled a bit more responsibly now, given the £7m yearly loss which was announced not long ago.

We are in a decent position at the moment, but understand we cannot stand still. There are still quite a few high earners in the squad who still have to be moved on, Jair & Vente for example.

Gray and MacKay have now got us to the position where we really do not need that many new players. If we manage to move on Jair & Vente this will free up space for two new forward players. I expect the delay in some new signings is that we are still negotiating with Bushiri & Triantis.

If we had guaranteed European football I get that we would need a good number of quality players to be a success in both Europe & domestically. Maybe some think we should spend fortunes in the hope of getting through to the league phase of the Europa or Conference League. I don't think we should gamble on this and in turn affect the financial stability of the club. As others have said it was a sliding doors moment when Aberdeen won the cup and it changed things massively.

Get that and we’d have a chance of conference league and an outside chance of third

[EGL2000]

Were we ever after him?

Seemed like it he wouldn't have been up at the training groud if we weren't surely.

[SunshineOnLeith]

I think Dundee are on the verge of announcing Drey Wright.

Makes a lot of sense, he was one of the few players in that St Johnstone squad to come out of the season with any sort of credit and lower-end Premiership is probably his level. Won't need to move house, either.

100% not getting guaranteed group stage has impacted players we can attract this early on which is one of the most frustrating aspects on Aberdeen winning the cup. I genuinely think we had a chance of getting players like Stuart Armstrong if we’d got the groups. Players like this Simmons might have been more likely to choose us over Bolton too. Not to drag up old ground but it’s been really disappointing we haven’t been able to secure some really excellent signings early on which I’m sure we could have if we had group stage football

Such is life

Don't think any are in panic mode. Think it's more just some of our key players from last season are yet to be confirmed. If they don't come back that does leave us a significant amount of work to do and that's only to be as good as last season. We need to try and improve on last season as that really is the key from pulling away from the rest. No team yet has been able to sustain 3rd for a couple of seasons.

Has it though? Would we really be splashing cash on players who would be with us beyond next season. What if we don’t qualify for Europe next season? Then we have expensive players on our books or a bloated squad.

I doubt that our transfer budget has been impacted too much. Our bread and butter is the league and that’s the squad quality that we need to plan for.

Having a guaranteed £5m/£6m in the back pocket would definitely have made a difference to the budget

Ah, I hadn't realised he'd visited.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Maybe as an outlay, but if you are spending high transfer fees, that comes with high wages. Say we get someone for three years, pay a large transfer fee then fail to make Euro football for the following 2 seasons. That’s not a sustainable model.

We need to progressively improve, year on year, in the league. The Euro places, and the prize that comes with it, is a bonus and will help us to progressively improve faster.

It's all relative - that St Johnstone team were truly horrific but towards the end of the season Wright did show up a bit as something approaching a bright spot. He'll be a solid addition as a squad player for Dundee.

I still find it slightly baffling that, unless Bolton were offering significantly more money than us, someone would choose that level over potential European football? Even with the size of the job ahead of us to get group stage football, even 2 or 3 ties is more than he's going to get at Bolton.

And if not for the cup draws we could well have been looking at 2 or 3 Hampden trips last season as well.

What bit of Hibs not getting guaranteed group stages was Hibs issue? The club did everything it could did it not.

If we weren't planning for not making it right up to that last penalty then we wouldn't be doing our job.

Like it or not at our current level, Europe or not, we are going to get knocked back by players at the level we want to be, purely because of money. That is life in the world of Scottish football.

I think it will be significantly more money, Bolton I believe are on a drive to get promotion this year, and don't they have decent crowds? So gambling on the extra league is probably a worthwhile gamble for them

At no point did I say it was Hibs issue. Not blaming the club one bit.

Just a **** year for Celtic not to win the cup

Europe groups stages would have made a huge difference especially in attracting players who we may now struggle to get. Just a fact really but no fault of the club

I think some overplay this bit about European football. It may have been a wee bit different this year if we had European football to Christmas. However, the Yam and Aberdeen have had European games to Christmas over the last few years and have not really been shopping for players in a different market to us.

I tend to think it's the bread and butter trips each year to the likes of Livingston, Falkirk, Dingwall over the years that tend to put some players coming up to play in Scotland.

Genuinely think Triantis signing would have been done early if we’d made the groups. We’d have more cash, he’d get group stage football in run up to a World Cup. Feel there would have been other players seeing us as a good option with a chance to move up the ladder.

I love Hibs, and I love Edinburgh and wouldn't want to be anywhere else if someone offered me Bolton/Plymouth/Blackpool and the same money.

But I think a lot of us are probably entirely over estimating the draw playing a couple of qualifiers is for the vast majority of English footballers. For someone like Xavier Simons he's probably never even contemplated Scotland as a career destination at any point until this summer. He probably knows next to zero about what it's like up here, it would be seen as a step down from his perspective.

Agree as ***** as it is I would say the majority of English players would value a big club in League 1 over Hibs. I think if we had guaranteed Europe it could definitely sway it our way. However, players aren't gonna bank on us winning 2 likely unseeded ties to get this.

Agree.

This is where I have difficulty understanding why we would have a better chance of getting Triantis even if we had European games to Christmas. We would have a ceiling on what we can afford and within the constraints of what we are paying other players. I expect we have offered Triantis the most we can afford.

If we had a guaranteed amount of say 10 European games this season, we cannot give players 4 year contracts based on this. What if we don't qualify for Europe next season. Then we would be stretched financially.

I get that this may seem a bit unambitious, but the club has to be sustainable in the long term. The club strategy should be to try and sign and develop players, to then sell on at a profit. European football is not the panacea to all our ambitions.

I tend to feel European football for clubs such as ourselves, Aberdeen & the Yam is more exciting for the supporters. Don't really see it as the crucial thing in potential players signing for us.

Being a Londoner and speaking about how close his family was and how they liked to go and watch his younger brother play who’s at Fulham I wonder was Bolton a better option because of less travelling too , apart from the extra on his deal maybe that was a small incentive in McGrath joining us too .

European football definitely allows people to prove themselves at a higher level though. If they have a couple of good games playing at the higher level the group stages provides they could definitely earn themselves a bigger move. I think alot of teams are still fairly hesitant to shop in Scotland as then general standard of the league is still pretty low.

Yeah thats a really good post.

Fully agree when it's put like that.

We put the green tinted specs on and say why the **** would you not want to move to Edinburgh, but the reality is that for most players it's probably more like "why the **** would I move to Edinburgh?"

Yup. Don't want to repeat myself but Aberdeen winning the cup could be and probably will be a sliding doors moment for Hibs. We couldn't have done any more but that cup final shock would have been transformational in terms of who we could sign and who we could be going forward. A real sickener and I'm not over it by a long way. A very Hibs thing to happen.

It was disappointing for sure, but think you're going a bit OTT.

Both Hearts and Aberdeen have had it in recent years and it was far from transformational, they've actually regressed in the league since then.

Same here, it's really quite ridiculous bad luck to finish 3rd twice in 6 years and no group stages, yet sandwiched inbetween that are Hearts and Aberdeen, doing the exact same thing but getting group stage football, fair play to Aberdeen winning the cup this year, but of course Hibs end up the biggest losers of it.

For a team that plays in green, we certainly don't get the rub of it with big decisions.

It is **** that they’ve had the group stage money twice each.

Long shot, but with a few decent draws I think we could make the Conference group stages.

I'm not yet fully over it from a selfish holiday point of view. Had one eye looking at booking 3/4 potential away trips this year. The chances of Scottish teams getting groups stages after winning the cup/finishing 3rd after last year is no longer anywhere near as easy. Futhermore looking at the coefficient going ahead it won't be back to that for around 5 years minimum.

It was a bit of a sickener at the time but looking back now and we had a great season in finishing 3rd , beating hertz and Aberdeen twice , old firm , watching hertz struggling and falling to make top 6 . Third was our aim and we succeeded . I’d gladly settle for a similar season again with maybe a better run in the cups .

It is just crying over split milk at this point.

Hibs did all they could do. A heroic effort to get third. We didn't let ourselves down on any level. Celtic spectacularly blew the treble.

Don't let Celtic's failure define our experience.

So Rocky will be off and Hoilett will sign for a lower league team in or around London, Luton or something.

I'm not yet fully over it from a selfish holiday point of view. Had one eye looking at booking 3/4 potential away trips this year. The chances of Scottish teams getting groups stages after winning the cup/finishing 3rd after last year is no longer anywhere near as easy. Futhermore looking at the coefficient going ahead it won't be back to that for around 5 years minimum.

Right, so it's all about your holidays then :wink:

Can anyone verify the issue of the Scottish co-efficient and entry to group stages being harder going forward, and remaining so for 5 years minimum.

Edit: just so I can return to glass half empty mode, just as I felt for about a day after the cup final result :-)

Decision on Rocky next week and he has multiple options. Hoilett weighing up decision due to his family being in London. Hibs not interested in bringing back Myko as it stands and have other preferred targets

Think the club have been more than fair to them, but it’s getting to the point where we need to move on if they’re not signing.

Rocky will probably have offers of more cash. I’m still not convinced he’ll be playing at a better club. But money talks. If Hoilett goes for those reasons then fair enough, again he’s not going to a better club.

Hoping we see some movement in the next week or two. I think we’re in a strong position, as strong as we’ve been at this point in time for years. But we can’t be complacent, which I don’t think we will be.

[Stokesy's on fire]

I don't see that happening first SC in 30years will have bought plenty of good will. It's also a bold claim when you look at appointments from clubs like Dundee/ Killi/ Motherwell. I can see plenty of mid-season changes.

Thelin is hopeless looking at the form they got lucky thats all the good thing is they will foolishly back him when they are getting battered home and away next season.

Hibs did all they could do. A heroic effort to get third. We didn't let ourselves down on any level. Celtic spectacularly blew the treble.

Yup. Don't want to repeat myself but Aberdeen winning the cup could be and probably will be a sliding doors moment for Hibs. We couldn't have done any more but that cup final shock would have been transformational in terms of who we could sign and who we could be going forward. A real sickener and I'm not over it by a long way. A very Hibs thing to happen.


Don’t want to be telling anyone how to feel, but if that’s your takeaway from the season we’ve just had, that’s mind boggling



It was a bit of a sickener at the time but looking back now and we had a great season in finishing 3rd , beating hertz and Aberdeen twice , old firm , watching hertz struggling and falling to make top 6 . Third was our aim and we succeeded . I’d gladly settle for a similar season again with maybe a better run in the cups .



Exactly, we achieved the best league position possible in real terms. Unlucky to draw Celtic away twice in the cups, but can’t let the outcomes of those dictate how you feel after such a successful season, the tremendous togetherness of the players, fans and club

I think when we signed Hoilett last year, it was on the back of Aberdeen withdrawing their contract offer as he was taking too long to think about it.

He’s obviously someone that won’t be rushed, I hope we can keep him, he’s a class act. We’ve got McGrath in now anyway so he’s not someone we desperately need an answer quickly from, if we have to give him a bit space to think about our offer, I’m fine with that.

[CapitalGreen]

Perhaps already posted but Myko not being pursued according to the Hibs Observer - glad we are in the market for an upgrade.

[Tambo]

Would love both Rocky and Hoilett to stay and I'm sure the club has back up targets if these fail, do wonder if Junior decides not to if we will go in the market for another CAM, would expect Rudi to go out on loan which would leave us with McGrath and Campbell to play in that position.

Next week could be a key week with decisions and the draw.

I like myko but you saw with gayle last season the wily smaller order guy had more presence because he knew how to use what he had

For me myko had too many times he was brushed off or couldn't hold it up and his Movement in the box could sharpen still.

He was improving last year which is the encouraging thing but not irreplaceable

Also happy we're not pursuing. The guy was a worker but for me he always seemed a bit off balance & never seemed to get a clean strike away - they all count but a couple were fortunate to go in & a couple he should have stuck away.

I'm sure he's benefitted from the coaching at Hibs this season & hope to pushes on to better things.

River Plate will receive 45m euros (£38.5m) after the 17-year-old's release clause was triggered, which sets a new record for the Argentine club.

His six-year deal begins on 14 August, the day he turns 18.

Was from the Scotland's coefficient page on twitter who is spot on with that stuff. Basically said due to a number of factors such as how coefficient is now calculated, losing previous very good years and other nations scores ect. We have very little hope of getting it within 5 years and it will be closer to 10.

So £1.7millionish if true, not too bad.

Probably still looking to sell Youan and Miller this window, maybe Levitt seeing as there was talk of interest from Wrexham and he's entering his final year. Could have a good amount of money to play with this window. Freeing up what you'd imagine is three big wages in Vente, Youan and Levitt as well.

Personally I'd be looking to keep Levitt, but I'd understand moving him on if the fee was right.

I wouldn't be adverse to Levitt moving along with the other three. All four are decent, but if we want to kick on and improve, we need players who are a bit more reliable and robust than all of them.

Could be north of £4m for all four if they are sold, which will really help the transfer kitty. Also, with them all having only a small time left of their contracts it's either stick or twist time.

If we want to replicate 3rd and even get close to European games until Christmas these are the types of players who are good, but just not good enough.

Agree, I would like to see us extend Levitt's contract. If we can get that kinda money for Vente then I think that should go straight into signing Triantis.

Newell is bang average. I appreciate he has an influence off the park in the training centre. Long term he is not the answer. We seen from last season he wasn't missed much on the park. I do think every player has their "best before" or "sell by date" and I think his is coming to that point. Longterm if we want to mount a challenge in Europe, then we need to set our stall a bit higher than fielding folk who are not good enough for these levels.

I wonder will we maybe look to move Levitt on and recoup most of what we paid for him with his contract the way it is? NMW is another possibility too . I don’t know about that in if we got Triantis back the midfield could easily be Triantis , Newell and McGrath or maybe Manneh in . I do think we will see our midfield players rotating with two games a week which is why we need a few good options like Newell .

IMO there’s no coincidence that his injury coincided with our unbeaten run. Captain and midfield set the tone and he doesn’t set a great tone.

Good guy and good motivator it seems but we aren’t paying for a Hibs tv commentator and motivational speaker.

Personally happy for him to stay but I wouldn’t shed a tear if he left.

That's exactly how I feel it panned out last season. He wasn't in the team and we started to dominate games especially in the midfield the more we got into the unbeaten run. To be club captain at hibs would make him one of the higher earners, and I feel there are players out there who would be better value for money on his wages than he is. For what little we seen of him last season I would say he struggles to make even the top 10 of highest performers last season.

Just my opinion. I appreciate all he contributes off the pitch and has done for the club. Realistically in order to progress we need to be attracting players of similar level to what the likes of Triantis, McGinn, McGeouch, Thomson, Zemmama, Brown and Beuzelin brought to hibs. Joe Newell has never been that level, regardless of what his union members on here say.

Canadian player has been approached. Not sure if he is interested in the move but I’m told the player would be very popular with fans. Wouldn’t tell me who.

Mike Franks coming back as goalie number three ? 🙈😁

[bingo70]

Back to the Canadian

Perhaps Jacen Russell-Rowe. Plays for Columbus Crew which is where Tim Bezbatchenko worked previously. Out of contract at the end of the year and his MLS Salary for 2024 was only $97k, less than £1.5k pw. Recently called into the National team and valued at €3.5m on Transfermarkt.

I’m thinking Jamie Knight-Lebel might be someone that fits the bill as someone we would likely be after.

Had a successful loan spell from Bristol City at Crewe last season. Seen a Crewe fan suggesting he will probably go on loan to a higher level next season, likely the championship.

Had a look at him, not sure he’d tick the “would be very popular with fans” box.

[Donegal Hibby]

Theo Bair maybe ? Even though I always thought he looked brutal. Also had a really poor season in France so doubt it.

Didn’t Motherwell not get a decent fee for him? Contract runs to 2028 in all . Thought CG mentioned an interest one as well in this one …

Looked decent every time I seen him on the TV playing in the A league but then again I was a fan of Nisbet. You would think with the Black Night group having a presence in that league they woul know what players have the quality to make it over here.

Yep. Utterly terrible.

He didn’t even have a full season in form at Motherwell. Up to Christmas he’d scored 2 in 20 games. That he managed to get 13 in his next 21 games is a complete anomaly. Plus, whenever I’ve seen him he looked crap.

I’m no arsed either way about Myko coming back, but I’d have Myko over Bair everytime.

Newell's record in the league cup section was 9 points out 9 so couldn't be further away from being disastrous for the part he lead. 100% blameless for the Kelty game when he didn't spend a single minute on the pitch.

Blatantly obvious you've taken a dislike to Joe and won't move on that. He's a good player that contributed to our good run, quite a lot actually. It was 'only' 5 games, but the hardest part of getting there was winning the first few games when we were in a slump. Joe wasn't just there for those games, he was massive in a few of them. Aberdeen 3-3 he was very good, could have scored 2. He's also been playing through an injury for a decent amount of time, not mentioning the off field calls he made to help turn us around.

Joe has been a good captain in his short time so far and a good player for us over his Hibs career, albeit a bit inconsistent

[Donegal Hibby]

I haven’t always been in the Newell camp and have questioned him being captain in the past but ….

I’ve changed my opinion of him . I do think he can be inconsistent at times though there’s never a lack of effort and having read Gray saying how willingly he was to play through the pain barrier as he had a injury .I think that shows the character of the guy as well as the leadership he brings to the rest of the squad ….

In truth I think we are lucky to have him and hopefully he’s back raring to go for the new season.

No disrespect to anyone though I hope we make a signing soon which might lighten the mood on here.

Not seeing any news on the Vente transfer front? I was hopefully the move to Heerenveen would have gone through, but it seems all quiet. Surely the mooted 2 million euro fee would cover Triantis's transfer and signing on fee?

If we get Triantis back, I would say we have the strongest midfield, outside of the Old Firm, good strength in depth in all positions across the five.

It's a no brainer to splash out on Nectar. He's already shown what he can do and will only improve with experience. I'm not sure where his ambitions lie, but regular football in a good performing side like Hibs, it's the best place for him to develop.

Triantis is a different scenario than McCowan.

You would expect we have a very good relationship with Triantis and his agent, given he has been with us over the last couple of seasons. I expect if we have met the fee asked by Sunderland, then offered Triantis a wage which would make him one of the top 3 earners at the club, then the ball is in his court. His national team manager has been quoted Triantis wanted to be released from national team duty as he has a lot on his mind.

The squad are due back for pre season training this week. It's Triantis goal to be in the Australian World Cup squad so he needs a full pre season preparation. Hibs will also want him prepared and ready for our early European ties.

Triantis is one who we will have pushed the boat out for, but given him a deadline to decide.

I have no doubt he will have more lucrative and exotic options on the table. It's whether he and his agent decide if Hibs fit best with his career path. There is no doubt that if he spends the next year or two with us and progresses as he has, then he will get to a higher level. But he may decide to take the jump now, but will start from scratch at a new club which comes at a higher risk.

If someone offers them more than hibs and him more money, he'll go there.

He'll only end up at hibs if he doesn't get offered more money and Sunderland a bigger fee or loan, else where.

Being brutally honest, you are probably right.

But I would like to think there will be a bit more nuance than this in the deal to bring him here. Sunderland will have more than likely set a fee, given he is a player on the periphery of their squad and highly unlikely to play in the EPL.

Yes, we could be blown out of the water wages wise. Depends on how much and if we are willing to offer him daft wages, which could cause disrupt squad morale.

[berwickhibee]

He needs to be a starter wherever he goes.

Big year for him with the world cup around the corner.

No one can really tell as no one knows how players like that will perform in this league. The overwhelming majority don’t work out and you’re left with players on long term contracts but there are exceptions that do work.

You only need to look at the Hearts squad or us over the last couple of years to see all the duds on long contracts that sap the life out of your resources. They’re all a gamble.

[Paul1642]

Hearts squad must be huge right now. Maybe I’m seeing the same signings reported a few times without noticing, but i swear they have signed around 8 players.

They also seem to be mostly foreign which goes against McInnes’ usual squad dynamic.
