Summer transfer thread 2025

[flash]

maybe offered to us & the rangers asked about him ,the player perhaps decided they were the better option:dunno:

I don't think we would be in a position to get this particular player but am sure there were plenty of English clubs who would happily have taken him.

[EGL2000]

I'm surprised we haven't had more of the fringe or youth players up from Bournemouth training with us to get a look at them. See Dundee are doing this just now with the Mexican team they are connected with.

[Scotty Leither]

I don’t really have any issues with them loaning a player to Sevco who we almost certainly couldn’t afford in the first place.

Is that not the whole point of the tie-up?
Bournemouth lending us players that normally would be out of our reach?
As far as the playing link-up goes it’s been pretty thin gruel thus far.

[tamig]

Josh O'Connor signed for East Kilbride, not anywhere near the level I would have thought he should be so far.

Don’t want to sound cruel but the boy never ever looked like potential first team material at Hibs. I don’t think any of his loans were successful either. Good luck to him though.

Lending us players on huge wages for nowt when another team offer to pick up a high percentage of the tab?

Yes I get we've got some behind the scenes interactions that may or may not be behind what we've seen on the pitch recently, but that seems to me to be potentially prejudiced if they act to help/strengthen teams in the same league as us,for all the reasons mentioned above.

Plenty of clubs don’t allow players to move to direct competition. I don’t know why BKG would be any different as an organisation.

He was okay at Airdrie but couldn't quite crack the constant starting XI. But I think he's somewhere between a winger and a centre forward and still hasn't flourished in either role so far.

Must be a slow day for the BBC as they had the BREAKING NEWS picture up, only for it to be sevco signing a loan player, geez a break!!

Well club and player obviously, they decided Rangers was the best fit for him and they clearly made the best offer, not going to be much else to it, is there?

"I want to go to Rangers to play European football"

"No you can't go there because of Hibs, you need to go to West Brom"

"No thanks, I'll just sit and stay here then"

"Fine we'll happily pay you over £2m to stay here in that case"

[Thatdayinmay16]

I'm well aware Rangers made the best offer to bring him to their club and there isn't anything we can do about it.

No need for the uproar for a player who's struggled for regular football for the last 18-24 months.

Hope we unearth a Myziane Maolida type. That's the kind of player that would take us up a level. Some player he was.

Some people seems a bit miffed and others are a bit more relaxed. It happens. Personally I was hoping we might see some more Bournemouth players coming our way and it might happen yet. But I’m not miffed about this one - especially if its true that the hun are covering the bulk of his wage.

I think it’s difficult to get players from Bournemouth where it suits all parties.

Anyone who has been signed as a first team player by them at any point, even if out of favour but still contracted, probably doesn’t see their next move as being to Hibs. At the other end of the scale, we’re probably not that interested in young players that aren’t going to come in and play.

Our best chance of getting a good player from them, IMO, is if they are signing a player but see a spell at us as being part of their development before going in to their first team. Even at that, it still needs to be a player we need.

I don’t have any issue with them loaning to another team. It might work the other way round one day where we have a player we want to sell to one of Bournemouths competitors.

No, it’s to share resources and ideas. We may well get the odd player but Bournemouth have one of the smallest squads in the Premiership. Unlike the bigger clubs they simply don’t have a big pool of quality players they can just loan out.

I think the whole point of the tie-up is the clubs working together which we seem to be doing . The player that’s going to Sevco would have probably been an unrealistic target for us for a few reasons in what we could pay compared to sevco and who the player would prefer to join as well .

Maybe we were offered the keeper if we could guarantee him regular game time ? Again I don’t think that suited both clubs which I think any deals for their players needs to do . I wonder would fans prefer if we were obliged to take any players that Bournemouth offered us instead ? .

Doesn't need to be from Bournemouth though surely players from Lorient or Moreirense who fit the bill.

Off a brief look he looks a good player. 30 Appearances in Portuguese top flight last year. I would imagine he would be instead of Triantis though? Couldn't imagine them both coming.

[Unseen work]

Ismaels contract with Moreirense expired this summer

So would be him wanting to really join us rather than a favour by Moreirense.

We have a lot of centre mids but really only Triantis who provides a presence in there, we’d be pretty gubbed if he was to get injured.

He was on loan at Nacional last season who are ranked as a similar standard to us by Opta.

I get the logical answer regarding the wages etc but it still leaves a bad taste that they’ve been loaned a valuable player to play against us from our partners and as it stands we’re getting nothing. Maybe that will change of course.

There’s always the chance of folk going out the way as well. Mariah-Welsh, if talking about midfielders might be one that wants to go and play week in, week out which he probably won’t do here. Still a fair bit to happen in this window.

personally I hope Iredale kicks him into the stand when we play Rangers. If a fellow Black Knights team are happy to loan him to a rival, then im happy for us to injure him out for the season. Alls fair.. it’s only business, we couldn’t afford him.. etc

Same, thought he played well every time he was called upon last season, can see him wanting a move for more game time.

Ismael started 25 times for Moreirense last season, they finished 10th in the league, so a similar standard to us you'd imagine. Market value of 1.5mil Euros according to Transfermarkt.

It’s not unique to us but I always feel the transfer window never really does us any favours, especially when it comes to early rounds of European competitions. We strive all season to get into Europe but the window means you haven’t got your squad fully assembled by the time the games start.

[Hibs90]

Squad as it stands:

GK: Smith, Sallinger, Johnson

Defenders: Miller, C Cadden, Megwa, Whittaker - Ekpiteta, O'Hora, Iredale - Obita, N Cadden

Midfield: Levitt, Manneh, Newell, NMW, Delferriere, Campbell, Molotnikov, McGrath

Forwards: Youan, Boyle, Bowie, Jair


Obviously a few who will move on, probably Jair, Youan, Delferriere, Megwa, Whittaker?

Could do with some signings/renewals.

It continually bugs me.

The sorts of teams that Scottish teams have by about November would have punched their weight much better over the years than the half fit, half assembled dross that we regularly have to go into battle with before anybody's really all that arsed about getting back into the football again.

We're actually in better shape this year than we've been in most years because we're going into the season with the bones of a decent squad and could probably, fitness depending, put out a respectable team with what we've already got.

Hugely annoying though.

Don’t want to sound cruel but the boy never ever looked like potential first team material at Hibs. I don’t think any of his loans were successful either. Good luck to him though.

The player wanted to go to Rangers, he’s worked with Russell Martin before and so that was what he pushed for.

I like what we’re doing. We’re not just trying to add bodies, we’re making serious signings to come in and properly add to the squad. With the type of money we’ll be spending on them, I don’t think they’re coming in to sit on the bench either.

Mulligan will be a starter for sure, excellent player

Let’s not dress this up in any way, if we sign Mulligan, that is a real statement of intent, the lad is quality

[we are hibs]

Was hoping we would try and sign a new first choice right wing back so would be happy with this. Seems to be a very good signing on paper.

According to Hibs Observer ""Hibs "win" race for Rangers linked midfielder Josh Mulligan""

From that alone I'm taking it we have signed him.

[Paulie Walnuts]

If I’m being totally honest I can’t remember seeing him at all.

So what’s he like?

[B.H.F.C]

We’ve obviously got some work to do but, if this comes off, the squad is coming together.

Rocky and Triantis or replacements needed sharpish. I don’t think we need to rush in terms of forward options. We need more to cover us over the course of the season, but I think we have three good options to get us going. Still think a striker will be signed before Midtjylland though.

[EGL2000]

Really good at going forward from RB runs forward with real power. Also a good crosser (not quite Nicky Cadden standard though). Good age as well at 22 so definitely still room to improve. Not sure how great he is defensively though.

A quick look at the Dundee forum tells you he's a cracking player too. Great signing if it goes through tomorrow.

[neil7908]

Mulligan would be a very good signing. The exact kind of player we should be looking at - young but played a good number of games, experience in SPL, can play a few roles and bags of potential in terms of how he can grow as a player and then potentially profit for the club.

[Callum_62]

Our recent signings have been wholly sensible

Get Triantis and Rocky tied down and it's a brilliant start to the window

Mulligan

I'd said about Mulligan at the time Lyall Cameron was the hot topic and said I'd have Mulligan as our top target and would take him from Dundee over Cameron. Still of that opinion. Would be a tremendous bit of business.

Whilst lording in the 'l told you so' worth remembering I said Triantis was rubbish about the same time and was underwhelmed with the signing of 'just Chris Cadden's brother'. Mulligan will be excellent though.. you heard it here 😅

I reckon we’ll have come to an agreement with Dundee and it’ll probably involve a sell on fee to bring the price down a bit.

Good few years ago and different people involved, obviously, but sure that’s what we did with McGinn.

With Rangers out the picture the next best thing for them, financially, would be to deal with us as they wouldn’t get as much from down south if he ended up down there.

I don’t think it’ll impact anything to do with Triantis (or us signing another midfielder if we can’t get Triantis). Unless Gray has seen something in him that makes him think he can play permanently in there, like he saw in Triantis. I’d be surprised though. Right hand side was somewhere that needed strengthened, I think he’ll be signed to play there with the option to cover centrally if needed.

[Unseen work]

If it happens, it is an absolutely fantastic signing. Funso Ojo and Ross McCrorie has made me realise it’s never quite done until the scarfs above the head 🤣


He’s someone I’ve been saying we should sign for a couple of years now. He is everything we should be going for in a player. Young, Scottish, great attitude and a really good player.

More Chris Cadden than Nicky imo. A really strong and powerful player who can drag you up the pitch. A better dribbler and passer than Chris however and imo really improves us on that side of the pitch.

[04Sauzee]

Would help with the European squad with him being association trained as well.

Played a good number of games for his age. Just the last 3 seasons he's played 65 games with Dundee in the top flight and 42 when Dundee were in the championship.

Hope you're right. If we are still in for Triantis then you'd imagine we'd hear shortly given it was reported as advanced talks a few days ago. If we could make it happen, re-sign Rocky (looking less likely now you'd imagine) and bring in 2 forwards we really would be in great shape. Would leave the door open for Hoillet aswell but probably unlikely given the time that's passed.
Hopefully Rudi and one or 2 others can step up from the academy.

Huns wanted Mulligan..Hibs aware of this..Bournemouth then offer Aarons - this changes their mind and Mulligan to Huns deal cools off.

This then opens the door for Mulligan to Hibs for a few seasons. End of the season Huns will then need to find another right sided player. Hibs can improve and develop Mulligan then sell for a decent fee in a few seasons.

The squad is coming together. If we get this window right we have a real chance to kick on this season. Triantis is the big one for me. If we can get him it would be massive, he’d be very difficult to replace. Youan could also solve a few issues for us if he stays, which I think there is a decent chance of happening. If he is here, he’ll need to perform being the last year of his deal.

There was talk that someone in East Mains thought he would make a better DM. But I'm not sure I see that being the case on what I've seen of him at Partick. He's very much a RWB/RB/RCB type and I'm not convinced that he's got it to play for Hibs either.

I would prefer to see him and get a good read on him in a Hibs jersey again though before he's cast aside, especially after signing a 4 year deal. But it doesn't seem likely.

Why does he write here we go at the end? Is he a Hibs fan? Or does he write that atvthe end of all his transfer tweets?

Fabrizio Romano’s “here we go” statement is a catch phrase that the journalist uses to indicate that a transfer deal between two clubs has reached completion.

For example:

“Kepa to Arsenal, here we go"

“Deal done for the Spanish goalkeeper to join Arsenal as new backup for David Raya.

“Arsenal activate £5m clause from Chelsea and all documents are now sealed. One more addition for Arteta after Martin Zubimendi.”

Considering the end of the season's play, some may disagree with you. When Miller was moved to RCB and Cadden returned to RWB, they performed well, albeit maybe not with Nicky Cadden's final ball.

However, before that we badly needed a right back. That said, from the video, he looks more like a RWB and competition with Cadden.

I'd go as far as saying he has the potential to get into the Scotland squad regularly if he performs well with us, especially as Scotland have struggled ever since Hickey and Paterson got injured.

I think it is a position where we needed to strengthen. Not a problem, as such, but I think it was a position where we need improvement. I think Mulligan can offer more going forward than Cadden and has loads of room for improvement.

I think it’s good that we look like we’re trying to properly upgrade positions. Years gone but we’d have just looked for a cheap a backup for Cadden. Now, we’re spending hundreds of thousands of pounds. Same applies to the goalie.

I think it is a position where we needed to strengthen. Not a problem, as such, but I think it was a position where we need improvement. I think Mulligan can offer more going forward than Cadden and has loads of room for improvement.

I think it’s good that we look like we’re trying to properly upgrade positions. Years gone but we’d have just looked for a cheap a backup for Cadden. Now, we’re spending hundreds of thousands of pounds. Same applies to the goalie.

I think when good players become available and they'll improve you then you just need to strike rather than live in regret. Which as you say sometimes we'd say "well actually we have Chris Cadden so why do we need Mulligan?"

I like Chris Cadden and still think he'll have a lot to offer us this season but Mulligan at least has a higher ceiling.

I have absolutely no insider info, but I expect him to be back here based on what SDG has said about the advanced and very positive talks.

The lad clearly loves it here and it could be such a great stepping stone for him like we've seen with younger players here over the years.

"The club remain in talks with central defender Rocky Bushiri, meanwhile, despite the Democratic Republic of Congo’s contract having expired at the end of the campaign. Bushiri is due to report back for pre-season training along with all of Hibernian’s other international players on Friday, with Gray describing “positive talks” with the cult hero."


In the evening news. Would be pretty strange for him to turn up for pre season if he wasn't staying, no?

It would be, but then I suppose we take out of contract players in for training fairly regularly to have a look at them. Teams also allow ex players to use their facilities to keep fit when they’re without a club on occasion, so it’s not unheard of.

Mulligan (potential) transfer has came out the blue like Nicky Caddens did

If he’s coming back to train he has to be staying. If he’s coming back to train, and hasn’t given and answer, he should be told we need one now.

If it’s right that he’s back in tomorrow then I think there will be a contract announcement tomorrow.

What a difference 6 or 7 months makes. Because back then I certainly wouldn’t have been really hoping Rocky stays.

If we ever get to the point those roasters are at - where the defence mechanism around a rival signing is 'THE COMPUTER OBVIOUSLY DIDNT FLAG HIM UP, WE'D HAVE HIM OTHERWISE, HE MUST BE PISH' - then just swiftly put us all out of our misery.

Sent from my Pixel 6a using TapatalkIt's a joy to observe, they've given up on spending 50 odd million and using a football structure (of sorts), all they've had to show for it is a couple of unique atmospheric managerial appointments, relegations and a bottom 6 winners season.

The Budge McKinlay dream team is still coining it in and the flumps now only have a computer with a Kilmarnock floppy disc installed as their latest advantage over everyone else to hang onto.

Haven’t seen anywhere near enough of him to form any sort of judgement. Looked ok in the 2nd half against Rangers but other than that, im no sure you can class him as a “really good player” based on his time here

I can only take it as a positive step that he's still very much open to staying here at least instead of clearing out and not looking in the rear view mirror.

Clubs do still help out players all the time though, Stevie Mallan was routinely at East Mains getting some rehab work done when he got back from Turkey initially for example.

There's every chance that Rocky comes out on pre-season with us without having committed to anything, as we'll probably enjoy having him around the team, but also in the hope that he decides to stay in the coming weeks and in doing so has had his pre-season and just fits in nicely ready to go.

Tend to agree. I think we all want Manneh to come good, but thus far there's been little to show he will. His performance v Rangers was patchy, but there were some decent moments.

Thought he was good in the 2nd half against Sevco and encouraged by what Gray had to say about him in he wasn’t up to speed with the pace of our game and how a good pre-season would be beneficial to the player . Going by what Gray has been saying I think he’s expecting Manneh to make a positive impact and it wouldn’t surprise me if we see him more involved this season.

I should hope so. By the start of the season, he'll have been at Hibs for at least 6 months.

He's potentially a big player for the coming season, but has it all to prove in terms of being good enough/suitable for our game.

Two players Gray mentioned that needed a good pre-season was Manneh and Bowie in he gave the impression that we haven’t seen them at their best yet . Hopefully we do now .

I noticed the BBC gossip had a couple of Hibs-related items this morning with the X account of Duncan McClean as the source. They have since disappeared which suggests someone there has figured out it's a fake, which is what most people here reckoned. A quick Google search suggests there is no Scottish sports journalist with that name.
No idea what motivates such nonsense but there's a lot of it out there...

Not too shabby.Agreed

However, it's the strength of the bench that really starts to impress.

GK - Smith - proven ability
Defence - Miller, Ekpiteta, O'Hora, Obita - all fit into the system easily
Midfield - Manneh, Moriah-Welsh, Newell, Campbell, Chris Cadden, Molotnikov - all bring something to the party.
Attack - Youan - potential game changer

Sure I've missed someone out but add in some of the developing youngsters and maybe one or two up front and that is one hell of a strong squad.

Still very reliant on Triantis signing as he is pivotal to how the midfield works. We don't have an equivalent player in the midfield so might be nice to bring in someone similar as cover for injury or the inevitable suspension.

Not sure the squad has been this strong at this time of year for decades.

This summer was supposed to be a complete overhaul but the unexpected success of last season has left us simply building and enhancing the squad.

Happy days.

Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkI think that the first choice midfield 3 would be

Triantis
McGrath and
Another

Triantis playing that defensive midfield role, McGrath the attacking midfielder and whoever Sir David sees best to complete the midfield depending on the game and the opposition.

If Mulligan can fill Triantis' spot occasionally then it is just a case of working out who works best with him.

We certainly have options.

I'd said about Mulligan at the time Lyall Cameron was the hot topic and said I'd have Mulligan as our top target and would take him from Dundee over Cameron. Still of that opinion. Would be a tremendous bit of business.

Whilst lording in the 'l told you so' worth remembering I said Triantis was rubbish about the same time and was underwhelmed with the signing of 'just Chris Cadden's brother'. Mulligan will be excellent though.. you heard it here 😅

I'll take this opportunity to hold my hands up on Triantis and 'Cadden's' brother too. TBF Triantis had some murder polis games at the back early on but still, I got both of those way wrong.

Our right hand side wasn’t as strong as our left with Nick Cadden. This should fix that. He looks a very good signing.

If this means we become as effective down our right flank we already are down our left flank I'd say that with the right guys up front we are going to score a ton of goals.
