Summer transfer thread 2025

[BoomtownHibees]

Please be 2 years

[Wheat Hound]

Looks like 1 more year (looking at the sticker on the boiler!)

[J-C]

Cracking post on WhatsApp, pic of a boiler.

[JohnM1875]

Please be 2 years

Looks like a year, better than nothing.

[EdinMike]

Which is surprising but I’ll take it !

[BoomtownHibees]

Good point. Didn’t see that

[1875Sean]

They just have taken the years clause on the same terms, delighted he is staying

[J-C]

Yep, never spotted the sticker, looks like the year option then.

[GloryGlory]

Like the temperature on the "Boyler" - 98.

Two more tomorrow would be nice.

Firm agree

[badabing67]

Boyle extension incoming!! YASSSS


I said yesterday that SDG let the cat out the bag on his PLZ Soccer interview

[SteveHFC]

[SteveHFC]

1 year extension confirmed.

[HendoDelivered]

Nice one Boyler!

Off to Oz next summer I’m guessing.

[jeffers]

Delighted with this, would have been mental not to get him to sign a new deal after the season he’s had.

Hes back in Edinburgh today...

[eastterrace]

Thought we had the option of taking the extra year in his contract so he really hasn’t signed a new deal or have I got this wrong.

[Bob Box Fish]

Announce Rocky 📣

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Thought we had the option of taking the extra year in his contract so he really hasn’t signed a new deal or have I got this wrong.

Yeah we had the option, which we have opted to go for.

[Donegal Hibby]

Had hoped for a two year deal for Boyle , happy he’s staying a year all the same .

[eastterrace]

Yeah we had the option, which we have opted to go for.
Also sure I read somewhere we were trying to get him tied up for two years on less money per week but more over the two years, so looks like he decided against signing .

[ancient hibee]

Nobody knows what the negotiations were apart from those taking part.Thevrest of it is speculation-most of it on here.:greengrin

I like your thinking

[badabing67]

Well get him signed up

[Tambo]

Sad news with Gayle then they get us back up with the news of Boyles extension.

Did go through a little spell where he would probably admit he deserved the criticism, has stepped it up the last 6 months or so and will be vital for next season again.

[Alex Trager]

Hes back in Edinburgh today...

Would imagine he’ll be at ER the morra then.

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Would imagine he’ll be at ER the morra then.

Aye, in the away end.

[badabing67]

Would imagine he’ll be at ER the morra then.

He should be, something wrong if he isn't

[Bridge hibs]

He should be, something wrong if he isn't

Think he is talking about Cummings

GK: J. Smith / TBC / Johnson

Out:
Vente
Youan
Tavares
Rudi (loan)

[Paul1642]

Another of our corse squad members sorted for another year.

Rocky
Triantis
Holiett
Myko

Still To go. Three from that four stay and I’m delighted.


The best thing about this transfer window for me is that we can make a fair £ from selling Vente and Youan despite the fact they haven’t contributed this season. Normally the only way we make good transfer money is by loosing our best players.

[Col2]

Another of our corse squad members sorted for another year.

Rocky
Triantis
Holiett
Myko

Still To go. Three from that four stay and I’m delighted.

I think we will be trying for all four. I suspect Triantis might be the most tricky and take the longest to agree especially if it’s a loan deal.

[Paul1642]

I think we will be trying for all four. I suspect Triantis might be the most tricky and take the longest to agree especially if it’s a loan deal.

Rocky is 50/50 for me. The passion he shows every game, including his celebration for our first goal on Wednesday and his post match celebrations make me almost convinced he wants to stay. At the same time I reckon he will get a good offer form Europe and with one eye on securing his international spot, he might well be tempted.

I agree Triantis will be the hardest. I suspect he’s open to staying, once again with one eye on the World Cup. Sunderland winning the playoff will help but then it comes down to who else wants him.

I think Holliett stays if we want him to, and I don’t see why we wouldn’t.

I think Myko should be easy to negotiate. Swansea probably don’t want him back, and 1 year left on his contract makes a Loan next season pointless.

[Lago]

Delighted with this, would have been mental not to get him to sign a new deal after the season he’s had.
Has he signed a new deal or is this an extention of his current contract 🤔

[badabing67]

I think we will be trying for all four. I suspect Triantis might be the most tricky and take the longest to agree especially if it’s a loan deal.


The championship play off final between Sheffield Utd and Sunderland on the same day as the Scottish Cup Final will have the biggest influence on it. Sunderland going up will probably be our best hope

Would keep all four. Would like to see what Vente could do in this team, but know he wants away. Youan I'd love it to work out with him here.

[badabing67]

I think it is the one year option the club had on his existing contract

Do we think that with bushiri possibly leaving, that SDG is seeing someone who can be a replacement?

Hopefully not. He's done decent against us this season for some reason but the other times I've watched him against the other teams he's been dreadful.

Stuart Armstrong a free agent again after leaving Sheffield Wednesday. Would absolutely stroll the SPL I reckon, worth an offer?

No brainer for me. Wonder if Celtic might make an offer. Cheap option and homegrown for Europe. Probably won't though, doesn’t really suit their business model.

Would be letting Megwa go. Never seen him have a great game on tv

Migouel Alfarela rumour seems to have died down

“Reports from Greece indicated that PAOK Thessaloniki were interested, and Goal.pl reported that Hibernian from Scotland were also monitoring his situation. However, interest from those clubs hasn’t materialised into a formal offer, so that scenario is also no longer realistic.”

These stories totally overlook that - while we know we are in Europe - the outcome of the SC Final next weekend will have a massive impact on our budget for signings.

We'd be mad to be bidding until we know if we have guaranteed group stage European football, and we have a week to wait still to know that

I wouldn't rule this guy or others out, until we know where we stand for Europe & his agent will know that

[djw80!]

To be fair Partick in general.have been absoloutly honking in these 2 games, but I do agree Megwa won't be anywhere near the hibs team next season.

[keep the faith]

St Pauli apparently made contact with Sunderland over Triantis.🙁

[Cocaine&Caviar]

Haha good shout

[badabing67]

St Pauli apparently made contact with Sunderland over Triantis.🙁


Jackson Irvine is the captain there and it would be reasonable to assume he is influencing this. On the face of it, it is concerning. But If Triantis is going to make the Aussie squad for the World Cup he is going to be needing regular game time to achieve this. He will not be guaranteed that at Sunderland or St Pauli. We have to hope that he recognises this, and he needs to make a good football decision in the summer and not a money decision to progress his career. Pretty sure he is going to have plenty to think about in the summer. But he will need to wait till he knows the outcome of the Sheffield Utd v Sunderland play off and the Scottish Cup Final before he can really start thinking about it

I think the way he is playing he will fancy his chances of getting a game for them, and its a standard up from Scotland. Not sure if they are safe from relegation as yet but that would hopefully influence him if they did.

They're 3 points ahead of third bottom Heidenheim with 1 game to go. Much better goal difference as well - 13 better than Heidenheim. Third bottom in the Bundesliga 1 goes into a playoff against third top of Bundesliga 2, ISTR.

I think he’s staying now for no other reason than he wasn’t subbed off yesterday to give him an ovation. Who knows but I think he’ll be here next season.

I’ve always been of thought if we are guaranteed group stage he’ll stay, 2 year contract with reasonable release clause be my guess, if we don’t he’ll be off

[A Hi-Bee]

Ooooh Rocky Bushiri,
:flag::flag::flag:

[Donegal Hibby]

Had a look on the Aberdeen forum and see there’s a few that think Nisbet will be signing for us , be very surprised if there’s anything in that considering it’s been said a few times about taking in the right type of of characters .

If DG wants him, that'll do for me

[GloryGlory]

What’s wrong with Nisbet’s character?

Well there was that time he went in the huff for months when he didn't get a move only 6 months after he'd signed for us on a 4 year contract.

[ancient hibee]

If they’d offered enough we would have sold him.

[andrew70]

Had a look on the Aberdeen forum and see there’s a few that think Nisbet will be signing for us , be very surprised if there’s anything in that considering it’s been said a few times about taking in the right type of of characters .

He’s exactly the right type of character.

Would love him back, I can’t see it but he’s a quality player and has shown great application in a poor Aberdeen team.

Would be a fantastic sign of intent.

[Donegal Hibby]

What’s wrong with Nisbet’s character?

It felt like he was angling for a move after signing and thought he looked increasingly stroppy after the bid from Birmingham was rejected . Which is why I’d be surprised if he was a target.. just my opinion of course .

[Trinity Hibee]

Nisbet still got a year on millwall contract

[Coco Bryce]

What’s wrong with Nisbet’s character?

He's a wee huffy.

[Paul1642]

Nisbet still got a year on millwall contract

Doubt they would be making it hard for anyone to sign him. It’s his the player not wanting to take a wage drop that will be the issue.

[A Hi-Bee]

How many times do we need to go over the same things just to get reactions, He is a real good player and will always score goals, if Hibs wanted him he would be a great signing, we will need some quality next season to compete on two fronts.
:flag::flag::flag:

[number9dream]

Ronan Hale might be a better bet than Nisbet. He’s scored more goals this season (for a struggling side) and he’s a couple of years younger. He’d be cheaper too.

Ryan Alebiosu will be a free agent after impressing on loan at St Mirren. He could be good competition for C Cadden.

Tawanda Maswanhise at Motherwell could be a good super sub option if Youan leaves. He must be among the fastest players in the country.

[Donegal Hibby]

He’s exactly the right type of character.

Would love him back, I can’t see it but he’s a quality player and has shown great application in a poor Aberdeen team.

Not so sure he is tbh . Noticed on the Aberdeen forum one says ‘ I’m not convinced he wants to be here’ which was much what I thought about him at us .

Also one says in the Celtic game when a fan took ill that Thelin had the players in a huddle when talking to them , Nisbet was the only one not in it , guy does say maybe he’s reading to much into it but I do think that’s a bit Nisbet like .

[Hibiza]

Good shouts , anyone is better than Nisbet , occasional player.

[aberhibsfc]

Call me greedy, but if we do strike a deal with Bushiri. Faced with a European stint, I'd still be keen on picking up Porteous.

[A Hi-Bee]

Call me greedy, but if we do strike a deal with Bushiri. Faced with a European stint, I'd still be keen on picking up Porteous.
We will need as many good quality proven international players as we can get, it will be a long tough season, with 2 games a week up to Xmas.
Porto is certainly one. Along with Nisbet as well.

[Shrekko]

They're not saying it based on anything other than ideas in their own heads so there definitely won't be anything in it.

[CapitalGreen]

He's a wee huffy.

So is Kevin De Bruyne. Being huffy on a football pitch for 90 mins isn’t the sign of a bad character. If you’ve played football at any level you’ll have no doubt played with some huffy b******s who are nothing like that off the pitch.

[ekhibee]

He’s been in Edinburgh, has property investment up here.

Yep, he's a qualified lawyer as well, would interesting to see how long he carries on before pa king it in. Good player though, think he'd be a really good signing.

You made the point on the Youan thread that you didn’t believe there was anything in the Youan rumours and debate because Gray hasn’t publically criticised him, which isn’t unreasonable. However you appear to have made your mind up on Nisbet and his attitude based on what some Aberdeen fans speculating. Would Thelin not call him out if there was an issue?

[Tambo]

I'd guess Millwall will be looking to sell this summer, unless another mid/lower EFL take a gamble then there's not many places for Kevin to go, a move abroad?

Would Aberdeen think he's done enough to warrant a perm move?

Boyle, Bowie and Nisbet should get you goals.

Not really basing anything on the Aberdeen fans speculation but more on when he was our player in the moment he arrived through the door he seemed to be looking for a move away ( or least it felt like that to me ) .

The Birmingham bid getting rejected it didn’t feel like he was entirely happy about it and if anything looked like he was in a mood / pissed off about it ..

Gray I think is quite a strong character and was a leader on the pitch that we know well having been at our club ten years or so.

Jimmy Thelin i know nothing about or that he even existed until he got the Aberdeen job so I don’t know how he’d handle it . I do think Gray wouldn’t be speaking as positively about Youan if there were issues there though.

[500miles]

Bobby Wales signs for Swansea.

Wonder if that tells us anything about Mykola’s future?

I’d be amazed if anyone buys Nisbet this summer. Equally amazed if Aberdeen don’t want him back next season.

Everyone knows Millwall don’t want him, and he’s in the last year of his contract. Nae point paying for a guy you can get on loan, then on a free.

Thats a very good point, I'd have him back at Easter Road for next season.

You would think SDG would want his main targets in as soon as possible to be ready for Europe, Striker wise if we sell Youan i think we will go down the older experienced free transfer if there is one available who they think would be good and a Loan deal.

Also one says in the Celtic game when a fan took ill that Thelin had the players in a huddle when talking to them , Nisbet was the only one not in it , guy does say maybe he’s reading to much into it but I do think that’s a bit Nisbet like .

If you believed everything read on here no one would want Youan but they do.

Forums are full of misinformation.

You do think “that’s a bit like Nisbet” doubt a man who has lost his own father would be so disrespectful. Perhaps he was taking time to reflect.

As I say full of misinformation.

Your right in forums do have there fair share of misinformation which is why I don’t believe Youan has faked his injuries or refused to play going by the manager’s reaction when talking about him ..

Maybe he was taking time to reflect , who knows but we can only go by information wither it be right or wrong and make up our own minds and I think I read on the Pars forum they predicted he’d be angling for a move away after signing for us which it certainly felt like he was , when it didn’t happen I certainly got the impression we had an unhappy/moody player ( maybe that’s only me that thought that though) .

He went to Millwall and the fans were certainly not happy with him there and now at Aberdeen theres a few who are now again got doubts about him or at least asking questions ..

I do think he’s a good player but it does feel like to me that at most clubs Kevin Nisbet has went to there have been unrest with him either wanting a move or fans generally questioning the guys attitude… doesn’t really fit in with the right type of character the club have repeatedly mentioned about wanting in a player IMO .

There aren't much more dubious characters than Anthony Stokes but we still signed him and he still helped us to win the Scottish Cup, scoring 2 goals. It'll obviously be down to Gray and possibly McKay as to whether bringing Nisbet back would work or not.

Agreed. Bowie will definitely be a better player than him and probably is already. I know Myko didn't have a crazy season but I'd honestly rather have him back. Felt like he picked up form a bit and gives us a physical option up top.

Agree about Stokes even though he contributed in a massive way , Kamberi was one that I thought had a character that was all wrong.

Absolutely down to Gray if he thinks bringing back Nisbet would work though my gut feeling on it is if he was available when Aberdeen signed him why didn’t he go after him then rather than bringing in Myko .

I don’t think we wanted him then and I don’t think we’ll want him now , will be very surprised if we do in truth.

[KazaHibs]

We definitely need a new GK to challenge Smith. Reckon with the connections of the Black Knights it will be Paulsen from Auckland.

We 100% need a new centre half, Right Wing Back, Centre Mid and a Forward! Not much to ask. But 5 players of a higher quality than what we have has to be the aim especially with a potential European campaign

[Unseen work]

Anyone know what’s happened/happening to Kwon?

Done really well for St Mirren last season and when he first signed for us I thought he looked quality, despite us struggling.

His confidence and form then completely went during our poor run and he then picked up an injury

Saw on Instagram he posted ‘see you again Hibees’

Be stunned if we sign him though

[Halmyre Hibee]

I wouldn’t be adverse to Nisbet & Porteous coming back to the club permanently or on loan. Need an experienced squad for next season. The lad Hale is definitely worth considering as well. Can also supplement with loan deals from the Black Knights consortium to fill in any gaps. Don’t want European venture to negatively impact our domestic ambitions of at least 3rd place again and some silverware.

Hopefully he means he's coming back as a spectator, like Dwight Gayle. Can't say we've even remotely seen anything from him on the pitch that makes him worth signing, even as a squad player.

[Unseen work]

Ronan Hale might be a better bet than Nisbet. He’s scored more goals this season (for a struggling side) and he’s a couple of years younger. He’d be cheaper too.

Ryan Alebiosu will be a free agent after impressing on loan at St Mirren. He could be good competition for C Cadden.

Tawanda Maswanhise at Motherwell could be a good super sub option if Youan leaves. He must be among the fastest players in the country.

All 3 have impressed and had good seasons.

Alebioisu is one I only noticed midweek but thought he was very good, checked twitter and St Mirren fans love him.

Maswanhise has impressed me all season and thought he may be a good replacement for Youan with his pace, directness and goal threat.

Hales a tough one, had a brilliant season with the amount of goals but I can’t say I’ve noticed him much. He does seem pretty clinical though with some of the finishes I’ve saw.

Other couple of players that have played in the league, had good seasons snd we may be interested in

Richard Taylor - Out of contract

Josh Mulligan - Out of contract

Mackenzie Kirk - 8 league goals in his first full flight season for team at the bottom of the league

Simon Murray - We failed to get him last season, but now we’re in Europe and Docherty has just been sacked from Dundee, could they swing it?

Callum Slatterly - Always impressed me and been flying since he came back. In a position we’re well stocked though and has had injury problems in the past. Recently signed a contract extension

Oluwasaen Adewumi - Just turned 20, good goal and assist returns in the league. Really impressed me a couple of times and was only on loan at Dundee.

Boyd- Munce - Can we sign yet another St Mirren centre mid? Another that’s impressed me and reminds me of Callum McGregor. Unlikely to be a position we look to sign though imo unless it’s someone of similar ilk to Triantis

Jordan Amissah - apparently been brilliant since signing for Ross Counrt. Young keeper and in a position we’re we’ll desperately need to add numbers to

Sam Dalby - 15 goals and 2 assists in 35 games, 25 years old and out of contract

Johnny Kenny- More game time with us and in Europe? He’s previously played and scored in Europe too

Not suggesting we sign all of, or any of them, and I imagine we’ll be scouting far and wide for players.


But I think SDG will likely to keep a base of players that know the league, some good options available. We’ll also need a bigger squad for Europe.

Strange one started off well at us then his form just fell off a cliff and he totally dropped out of the picture

Think he will struggle to make it at Celtic and we have better options already here and hopefully still to come

[easty]

If the bit in bold is true, then next season is the perfect season to have him on loan. He's in the last year of his Millwall contract, and if he's wanting a move somewhere else then he'll have to have a really good season next year.

[Spudster]

Given the Le Fondre and Gayle signings and looking at the out of contract players I can see us going for Steven Fletcher

Exactly that.

Porteous big problem was he couldn't accept when he made a mistake. It was always someone else's fault.

Probably explains why he fell out of favour at Watford and gradually worked his way back onto the bench at Preston.

Can't fault his passion for the club but he's a liability.

The spirit and togetherness this squad has shown this season I haven’t seen to often over the years. I’d like to see us try and build on / retain that . That’s the reason as a fan I’d have concerns about signing Nisbet or Porteous . I honestly thought Porteous antics towards the end weren’t good at all in shouting and pointing fingers at folk. Two players I wouldn’t be in the least disappointed if we avoided signing.

It’s not as if they don’t all shout at each other every now and again as it is, you see it all the time. It’s professional sport, it happens and we’re no different. I don’t know what gives people the impression that Porteous would upset things with the squad.

Iredale strikes me as the type that would be quick to call out another player putting another down or acting a bit too big for their boots

I remember the Dundee game up there when Bursik had given away the goal right before half time. Walking off at half time and it was clear as day he was trying to blame Iredale for the pass back to him (which he should easily have dealt with). Iredale certainly didn’t miss him in response to that and told him in no uncertain terms what he should have done.

[Hibbyradge]

Not a fan of the Steven Fletcher suggestions. He was a great player and a top pro, but he’ would be 39 by the end of the season, and is 3 years older than Dwight Gayle who’s hanging up his boots (4 years older than Gayle when he signed for us)

I think Gayle has proven that an aging top player can be a great addition, but I think around 33-34 rather than 38 needs to be the age bracket.

What makes you say his name?

[TT07]

Just as long as we dont sign anyone as poor a player as Ernie Winchester.

Dalby based on this season would be a brilliant signing

Think he’d really suit our style of play. Sort of player that would compliment Boyle and Nicky Cadden really well

You just hope it’s not a one season wonder and he can replicate this form, don’t think he’s had a prolific season before this or even close to it

Included in the whoscored.com team of the season as one of only 2 non-Old Firm players alongside our Nectar.

He would use his passport more often if he came here but tbh I think we can get better

Malky saying a player was at East Mains today.

Let the rumours begin
Better ask Saul he will know.

Quite informative from Malky saying thè Gordon family have put in £24/25m into the club. Very impressed with Malky. CEO will be appointed, employing
a team of headhunters to identify candidates.

The stars.. or, umm, flights aligned that day. I’ll never be able to top that 5 minutes of fame being quoted on BBC sport and all. Someone else can have a go, maybe track a train or something😂

Five years ago by the way!! What happened there.

[EH21Hibee]

It was Ledson at east mains yesterday.

[ElginHibbie]

Porto convincing him to sign for us obv

[Ribs1875]

It was Ledson at east mains yesterday.
From what I have been reading about this Ledson on the PNE fans pages he divides opinions. Seemingly a player who will run through a brick wall, but lacks quality to play in the championship. It sounds like he could be a useful player to have, but equally we could probably do better.

[McGruber]

Interesting. Probably the position we are most stacked in though we might well have a Triantis shaped hole to fill.

The Management and Coaching Team must feel they can improve him Trust the Process

[easty]

Any rumours on what's happening with Vente?

He went off at HT in their 4th last game of the season, unused sub in 3rd and 2nd last games, then not in the squad for the final game of the season. Dunno if he was injured?

Anyway, ends the season with -
Zwolle - 31 games / 14 goals
Hibs - 6 games / 3 goals

Cannae see him back here next season, so hopefully someones lining up a decent bid.

With just shy of 200 games in it, it sounds like he does have the quality to play in the Championship.

26 games this season, captained Preston in 6 of them.

[Thatdayinmay16]

Does he?

At 27 he'd bring vast experience as well.

Definitely one I'd be happy with, a very similar type of career as Iredale & Cadden but a league above.

A very good potential signing on paper IMO.

[Centre Hawf]

Balogun left rangers

Always thought he was their best defender, would take him

There's not many out of contract players I would take that would be within a reasonable budget for what they could offer us. I feel like Balogun at his age would perhaps ask for a bit too much but a 1 year deal for him if we lose the likes of Rocky/Miller/Ekpiteta wouldn't be the worst scenario if he fancied it. But I'd wonder if we'd go for someone like Richard Taylor at St Mirren or even Dan Casey at Motherwell if we wanted to plug a CB gap in the squad. Both good ages and out of contract and performed well this season.

Stuart Armstrong would be a brilliant signing. Exactly the experience and quality we need for Thursday/Sunday football. Hope there's something in it.

How did he do at Sheffield Wednesday last season?

[Centre Hawf]

Feel like Stuart Armstrong is destined to be back at Dundee United. Would take him at Hibs for sure but I'd imagine that means Junior Hoilett wouldn't be staying as we already have McGrath and Campbell that are similar type of players.

Edit: FWIW I imagine the 'chat' on Twitter is a load of nonsense anyway.

[hibsbollah]

How did he do at Sheffield Wednesday last season?

Injured for most of it and then released along with many other players. Bit of a clear the decks going on. He’s definitely got the ability if he’s physically up to it.

[Thatdayinmay16]

Where are you seeing this on twitter?

Folk not actually saying his name just a lot of hibs fans tweeting gifs or pictures of him.

It's likely just nonsense.

Josh Campbell is the polar opposite to Hoilett McGrath and Armstrong but he brings other attributes to the table 😂

[Centre Hawf]

Josh Campbell is the polar opposite to Hoilett McGrath and Armstrong but he brings other attributes to the table ��

I agree about different attributes. But my point, probably poorly worded, was more the area of the park they operate in. McGrath could obviously play wide left for us. But if we're sticking with 3-5-2/5-3-2 then McGrath and Campbell are likely to duke it out for that number 10 spot as it stands in the same way Hoilett and Campbell have rotated.

There's still a chance Hoilett stays, but if you also sign Armstrong then unless he's changed to a much deeper midfielder in the last few years then it would become a crowded section of the depth chart.

Definitely injured, not sure how badly.

[B.H.F.C]

Hopefully not badly. Can’t see him coming back to play but you’d think getting him moved on might form a big part of what we do in the summer.

Can’t see McGrath playing wide left in a 3-5-2

[Centre Hawf]

Can’t see McGrath playing wide left in a 3-5-2

I agree, which is why I put him and Campbell as the contenders for the number 10 role if we stick with that system.

Richard Taylor worth a good look at. Hope we are interested in him. Just my humble opinion though

I’m hoping Hoilett stays , class act . We are certainly going to need players rotating positions when juggling with a European and league game in one week . The Armstrong rumour would surprise me if there was anything in it unless Hoilett is moving on of course. Some of the games I’ve seen McGrath play he’s looked more effective out wide , very good player who gives us options in he can play 3 or 4 different positions.

I still think Campbell is worth a punt, would only just be 27 at the start of next season. With a full preseason and regular games i think SDG would get him firing again.

I feel like it's the type of move that see's him go back to Motherwell next and just see if he can recapture something to even be an asset at this level. The last 3 seasons for him have been a total write off and he's struggled consistently. I'd stay well clear personally.
