Summer transfer thread 2025

[we are hibs]

If we want to have a genuine chance of getting through to group stage football then you'd imagine work is going to need to be done more urgently now than if we had the guaranteed groups given our earlier start in Europe.


Still a lot of unknowns in terms of Rocky leaving or staying. Youan and Vente likely to both move on? Miller possibly away too? We are definitely two strikers short with Myko gone and Gayle retiring, a Triantis hole that needs to be filled in the middle of the park, a goalkeeper short. We've got McGrath coming in to presumably play where Campbell and Hoilett have been. when does the window actually open?

One hopes that they have Contingency plans already mapped out. I would like to think they did but I've known many a person in business to not think about "what could" happen. Football and otherwise.

Hibs seem to have some very good people on board now and I would have expected them to have plans for every eventuality, if they didnt then they are in the wrong ****ing job.

Granted top priority would have been a better route into the group stages but that was out of our hands and the board know that as did every hibs fan. We are down but not out and the determination from everyone at hibs to even secure europe in the first place should be applauded.

If hibs put the same grit and determination into next season we wont be far away again and the board know that we will need some quality additions to achieve that.

[big gogs]

Apologies, I misread.

However today's result doesn't help our case for resigning triantis. That's a fact.

How is it a fact,money and ambition will govern the next move for triantis,if he wants to stay great ,if he wants to move ,so be it.we have no control over the situation,I hope he stays.

It quite clearly has an impact and makes it harder to attract him and others if we can’t guarantee group stage football.

You are kidding yourself on if you don't think the lack of guaranteed European football would influence him coming back.

[EGL2000]

Really like the look of Ethan Galbraith had a great season at Orient and looking good today in the play off final. One I would be all over.

Think he's definitely an upgrade on levitt as fairly similar technically but has much better physical attributes. More of a goal threat as well.

Definitely better in the middle for me. But I guess that only adds to his benefits that he can play all over.

Think we were linked with him a few windows ago.

[Unseen work]

We were linked with Galbraith a couple of years ago.

Interesting he’s now a right back/RWB - a position we need to improve on imo.

[04Sauzee]

I see on Twitter hearts have been linked with Josh Mulligan, but then again that was lifted from kickback.

[Mcbizz1998]

Miller wants to leave according to a mate of his I know. Wanted to leave at end of contract and wasn’t particularly pleased we took the option on him apparently.

Not sure why players sign a contract that gives a club an option of an extra year if they aren't happy with those terms. If indeed he does want to go I hope the deal is done quickly to allow us to get in a proper replacement.

Quite happy for miller to leave if we get a fee

[ekhibee]

Miller has been better this season definitely, but he seems like a bit of a legend in his own mind. Hope we do get some decent money for him if he wants away.

[B.H.F.C]

If Miller was to leave I wouldn’t be overly concerned. It feels as if he had that position on the right of the back three for ages but, really, it was a handful of games he played there in the second half of the season.

I’d rather just keep as much of the squad together as we can though.

He’s far better in that position than O’Hora

[bingo70]

I’ll be a bit disappointed if Miller goes, he’s done well this season.

To contradict that though, he’s definitely replaceable. At the risk of opening a can of worms, there was talk of Porteous coming back, if we were to sign him to replace Miller that’d be a huge upgrade I think.

[LewysGot2]

He was all over the place in the game at Paisley. OHora may not have his pace - an issue, of course - but Miller is still very raw. When he gets the physicality and pace bit right he's very positive but when he's off it, it's still an issue.

He certainly didn't seem too upset when he appeared at the Hibs First evening.

Glad Hibs activated the clause, if he goes we get money.

[A Hi-Bee]

Good player, lets see what the summer brings, trust in David Gray and Hibs to get it right.

Agree, I think that would improve us in that position. By no means would I be chasing Miller out the door, I think he’s done well at times. If there is anything in the chat that he’d rather be elsewhere then we just sort it out as quickly as we can.

[Ribs1875]

Miller is a players who is falling into the Youan, Vente and Levitt category. All 4 out of contract in 2026, but it's highly likely Vente and Youan will be available for transfer.

Miller and Levitt both came good in recent months, however unless they are offered a contract to stay and accept it, then I'd be happy for the club to offload this summer if offers came in.

I don’t think Levitt is in the same category as them as he’s been exceptional on the park the last few months. If we were to get another season out him like last season but he left for free next summer it wouldn’t be a disaster.

Youann and Vente we don’t know what we’d be getting next season.

Miller been good but still very prone to a brain fart.

Levitt is the only one out of them I'd be keen to keep, and even then I wouldn't class him as irreplaceable.

Miller is just too extreme in his ceiling and floor in terms of his performances; when he's bad he's absolutely terrible (albeit he can be the best player on the park by miles). It's a characteristic that really doesn't suit a defender IMO, and I'd rather have a Lewis Stevenson (or Jack Iredale) type who is 7/10 most weeks than someone who can easily be a 3 as a 10.

He's currently an Aberdeen player and he's laughing off what's clearly a playful rib from Aberdeen fans. He'll be on cloud nine just having won the Scottish Cup.

It'd be very, very sad if anyone were to cast judgment on him on this.

[Aldo]

If true Jamestown is proving its weight in gold…

No no no just no. Jamestown has identified this player like every player signing for them any time soon. Any player who signs not using this outstanding (the only one in world by all accounts) analytical system is just not good enough. Well that’s what they say anyway.[emoji848]

He won’t be cheap either even out of contract.

Let’s not forget Sevco had to stump up 640k for Barron who had played 60 times for Aberdeen.

Mulligan has played 95 times for Dundee so would suggest a similar fee?? Well development fee.

[B.H.F.C]

McGrath has been part of a squad that has just won a Scottish Cup. If he’s enjoying his weekend, who really cares.

Hopefully he’s not regretting his decision now, right enough. Rather than him feeling like he’s missing out on something, hopefully it helps him put that bit extra in to getting us through the qualifiers.

Totally, absolutely nothing in it at all.

He’s leaving the fifth best team to move to the third best team on a long term contract. At present, he’s still an Aberdeen player and should enjoy winning the Scottish Cup. Rare that teams out with the uglies win it.

I dont think he would cancel, He knew the possibilities when he signed plus they ****ed him about with their offer anyway thats why he went elsewhere. I'm actually looking forward to him officially joining and if others are same quality as him we are looking at im happy with that.

Because it wasn’t the league cup game at Parkhead

One thing I’m optimistic and excited about is our summer recruitment basically on the players we have recruited recently. Apart from a couple they all been pretty good and some have exceeded expectations like Cadden , Triantis , Iredale and Smith . McGrath already signed looks another good one too .

Well yeah, of course but that applies to every player. A few people have suggested McGrath will probably decide to stay at Aberdeen now and the suggestion from these posters very much seems to be that we’ll be helpless about it if he does. That is absolute nonsense.

He’ll be a Hibs player next season. If he’s not then we’ll be getting a bit of cash coming our way.

I think the good thing with Triantis, is that he’s aware he needs to be playing games to play for his country next year

Something he will undoubtedly do with us. Europe until Christmas would undoubtedly have made it an easier decision but let’s hope he’s still keen

I think it will be another loan here though so his options are open next summer

[Hibernian Verse]

I really think we should just bid for him permanently. Cost around a million I'd imagine and he's as low risk as you are going to get. Let him know that he'll be allowed to move on in a season or two when bids come in and we bank 4 million ISH. Makes it sound easy right !

Could easily be funded by the sale of Vente. Even though some of this will probably be prioritised for a striker

Third hand info (not saying it aint true) says Miller wants to move on, and suddenly he's pish, up himself etc etc, jees, sensitive much

He's a good player that will only get better. I can see why he might want to try somewhere new, he's young, been with us a while, the world at his feet really but, as others point out, he's contracted, so maybe we triggered it knowing we'll sell, who knows.

If i was to guess, I'd say him, Rocky and Nectar will all move on, just a feeling tho.

Think there’s maybe a bit of middle ground between Miller being pish and having the world at his feet. He’s been pretty inconsistent for most of his time here although managed to improve on that latterly. He seems to have found a position on the right of a back three, but there aren’t that many teams out there who play with that. I’m still to be convinced he goes on to have a good career at a much better than level than Hibs. I still think the same of Rocky to an extent as well. Triantis has age on his side and the most of ability of those three. He’s still the one I’d want to keep the most. He’ll be so difficult to replace if we don’t keep him. In an ideal world we just keep the three of them and go from there.

Possibly! You could also argue that the EPL teams need a big playing squad, with many of them choosing to play almost reserve teams in the League Cup. Triantis could be viewed as one to keep and test him out in the cups, whilst they keep their better players fresh for the league.

Yes, sadly with no guarantee of European League football until at least December, I think Rocky, Hoilett and Triantis will move on and Miller, Vente and Youan will be sold to allow for a rebuild by the football department.

Has Triantis and his agent not already come out and said its important that he gets game time - wherever that might be for his international ambitions?

[Jock O]

Bain being released by Celtic with a year of his contract still left, as they take Aberdeen's reserve goalie for their third choice, I assume needing to replace one Scottish player with another.

Not a huge vote of confidence for Bain, wouldn't be totally against him as a no. 2 here but equally he hasn't played for a while, and maybe too used to not playing to provide the competition that I think would be good for Smith.

[Bayern Bru]

Has Triantis and his agent not already come out and said its important that he gets game time - wherever that might be for his international ambitions?

Yes. The quote was something along the lines of 'needing to be one of the main men – like he has at Hibs this season'.

Not a huge vote of confidence for Bain, wouldn't be totally against him as a no. 2 here but equally he hasn't played for a while, and maybe too used to not playing to provide the competition that I think would be good for Smith.
I'd be inclined to think that Bain has a club lined up if he's agreed to have the contract ended early.

Hoilett that’s up to SDG

“However, it’s almost certain that the Carinthian will move to Europe (in terms of club competition). After the season ends, the 29-year-old is expected to transfer to Scotland. According to Krone sources, Hibernian (3rd in the Scottish Premiership and based in Edinburgh) are in advanced talks with Sallinger – only the final signature is missing.”

Sallinger is playing for Hartberg at the moment, live on ‘One Football’.

Only saw a bit of it but made a decent save and couple of good passes out from the back. Not saw either goal

Been impressed with the overall standard and style of play in the game though. Both teams trying to pass it along the deck at pace

[andrew70]

Should have signed him from Cliftonville. Great wee player.

[B.H.F.C]

Hale has done well but I don’t think he would strengthen us against the forward options we had this season.

[CapitalGreen]

Sounds like we are getting closer to signing Sallinger.

I’ve never seen him play so this is purely from looking at his stats but seems like quite an impressive signing. One of the top performing goalkeepers from a league that is stronger than ours.

Lifted the below from Twitter so hopefully accurate:
Clean sheets - 8 (3rd)
Save percentage - 72% (3rd)
Saves per 90 - 3.3 (2nd)
Goals prevented - 12.5 (1st)

[HoboHarry]

Henderson was on £5k a week at Hellas Verona in 2019. I don’t think he’ll be out of our reach, particularly given relegation.

How do you know what he was being paid? Genuinely curious, it amazes me how many posters seem to talk with authority on players wages.

Can imagine Henderson being on far more than 5k a week now

Plus he’s living in Italy

[Paulie Walnuts]

Henderson was on £5k a week at Hellas Verona in 2019. I don’t think he’ll be out of our reach, particularly given relegation.

He said earlier in the season he wants to stay at Empoli.

Whenever he’s interviewed he seems to stress how much he loves it out there. I’d suspect he’ll stay out there and wouldn’t be all that surprised to see him get a move to another Serie A side.

[500miles]

The Sun done an article when he moved from Bari, seemed to be publicly released accounts. Verona had the smallest budget in the league and he was 13th from top of the wage list.

What does goals prevented mean? I’m guessing he’s faced more than 12.5 shots on target this season?

If we are signing this goalie, for good money, there must be a fair chance he’s coming in as number one. I couldn’t see us spending a few hundred grand on someone to sit on the bench.

Of course, same goes for anyone.

Agree on Smith. I’d not be terribly upset if he continues with the gloves but, if we think we can improve the position and do something, it would show a pretty ruthless streak and that we’re not prepared to stand still.

[Libby Hibby]

Who ever we sign either need to be or considered to be better that the current incumbent otherwise, what is the point?

[Bayern Bru]

What does goals prevented mean? I’m guessing he’s faced more than 12.5 shots on target this season?

Think it’s likely to be the same as goals saved above average, which means he’s saved more goals than he was expected to. So he’s overperformed, in a sense.

Think Smith did something similar in the Scottish Premiership

Worth bearing in mind that we managed to bring Gray, McGregor, Ambrose, McGinn, Fyvie, McGeouch, Stokes, Boyle and many more to the club when we were in the Championship.

We finished third and got into Europe. There will still be plenty of players who will be keen to join us, even if our offering is marginally less appealing to some than it might have been had Saturday’s result gone the other way.

[Dmas]

Scored far more than Myko and Gayle in a poorer team, I’d take him but think he’s on his way down south, I also like the goalie for county looks like we’ve got out goalie though

[Centre Hawf]

Henderson was on £5k a week at Hellas Verona in 2019. I don’t think he’ll be out of our reach, particularly given relegation.

He was actually on double that as a gross wage. He's currently on just shy of £30k gross. I don't really envisage a situation where he comes back to Hibs at this point.

Comparing him to our 4th choice striker is a bit silly. Gayle is a lot more prolific when he played.

The type of player we are in for won’t have really changed, IMO. And hardly any of the players we are in for will have the offer of group stage European football from elsewhere either. When McGrath signed for us, it was still more likely Aberdeen would be in Europe than us. He still signed for us though.

The only thing that might have changed is our transfer budget. Had we secured group stage then we could have tried to buy Triantis, for example.

However, if we still manage to qualify for either EL or CL groups, would qualification be achieved before the transfer window slams shut :hmmm:

[EGL2000]

Not loads in it when looking at there goals per minute ratio. When you add that Ross County create significantly less chances than us think it would pretty much even it up. In no way am I saying he's better than Gayle. However I definitely think he would be a good option. Imagine he will be pretty cheap now as well considering they have been relegated. 100-200k ISH ?

A Hearts fan has done a detailed breakdown of Hale

https://x.com/liamastewart/status/1927131655040340266?s=46&t=jmxs-mZWT_cnYbURW-GKJw

From the second Ross County's relegation was confirmed fans have of various Premiership clubs have started discussing Ronan Hale and if he is worth a pick up particularly with rumours of a relegation release clause.

Hearts fans are no different and with Shankland's future still currently a mystery let's take a look and see what the numbers say.

The headline number been thrown around is Hale's 12 league goals this season from an xG of 10.77 - which makes Hale on of just four players outside of Celtic & Rangers to reach the milestone for the season.

Three of Hale's goals came from the spot, leaving nine non penalty goals throughout the season.

A look at those goals further shows;

- Two tidy finishes from tight angles at the edge of the area against Motherwell & Hearts
- A powerful effort unmarked inside the box after getting on the end of a poor clearance against St Mirren.
- Two fantastic runs and finishes against Motherwell, left and right footed.
- A nice turn and finish against Motherwell following a poor piece of defending.
- An incredible finish against Hearts curling one in from the edge of the area and a similar goal against St Johnstone and a tap in against Dundee United.

That means when you breakdown Hale's non penalty goals for the season he scored against Motherwell (4), Hearts (2), St Mirren (1), St Johnstone (1) and Dundee United (1).

The immediate concern for Hearts would be stylistically how he fits McInnes' desired system - a manager that wants width and pace out wide and targets in the box, at 5'7 Hale is certainly not that.

There is of course a precedent for McInnes having some amount of success with smaller forwards, Anderson at Aberdeen and Kilmarnock, and Hale's off the ball movement and ability to attack the space in behind could link up well with Shankland if the striker re-signs.

Hale's numbers tell the story of County's season with the 26-year-old putting up a huge volume of shots and dribbles per 90 but with a below standard completion rate.

No Hearts' player took more shots than Hale (91) while his 37.35% SOT rate ranks lower than any of Hearts' CF options - to be expected with a shot volume almost four times that of Wilson, Vargas, Musa and Kabangu.

His 13% goal conversion rate sits above Musa & Shankland, while only Musa & Vargas, both of which had significant minutes out wide, produced more dribbles per 90 across the season with Vargas the closest comparison.

Hale matches Kabangu's 30% offensive duel win rate despite 25% more duel output per 90.

His 2.61 touches in the box per 90 is lower than any Hearts CF and aligns with the type of goal Hale scored most throughout the season around the edge of the area - but is also easily put down to the deep position and low possession game that County played with the lowest average time on ball in the league throughout the 24/25 season.

This trend continues when you look at Hale's creative and ball progression numbers - with the 26-year-old ranking lowest from Hearts CF options for passes per 90 and fourth for pass accuracy.

The closest comparison on the ball, in terms of output, is James Wilson with the two forwards on par for passes per 90, pass accuracy, passes to the final third whilst Wilson just leads in shot creating actions and xA per 90.

There's clear quality in Hale, but with Elton Kabangu and potentially Lawrence Shankland looking like they are sticking around and James Wilson having a breakout season it is hard to see where Hale would fit in - we have already seen that quality at County doesn't always translate to instant impact at Tynecastle - Yan Dhanda - and lacking tactical versatility from Hale makes it difficult to see how he would fit in for Hearts next year even at a cut price - Musa & Kenny could both leave which would make Hale one of four central options which would make the deal more likely but after a strong individual season is the County man going to accept a spot on the bench? Sam Dalby feels more of a natural fit but with Hearts missing out on Europe potentially a harder name to bring in particularly with interest in Scotland and down south.

It’s a long winded way of saying that Hale isn’t any better than what they have. Which is true and applies to HIbs aswell.

I agree. Think he’s done well in a poor Ross County team but, apart from anything else, I don’t think he’d play very much. We know Gray likes a physical presence so we’ll sign Myko or someone like Myko. They’ll then fight it out with Bowie to partner Boyle. I know we’ll need a squad but we still have Youan contracted (obviously a fair chance Youan will be away). Granted, Gayle is away but Youan would take his place in the squad initially. I don’t think a striker like Hale will be anywhere near being a priority.

[Unseen work]

Hibs observer;

Hibs have been linked with further midfield additions in free agent Ryan Ledson and Balla Moussa Conte of Tunisian side Sfaxien, although it's understood there isn't concrete interest in the former at this moment in time. Any new arrivals may necessitate departures to avoid the squad becoming bloated once again.

Also said Myk is wanted by another team also.

Hibs have been linked with further midfield additions in free agent Ryan Ledson and Balla Moussa Conte of Tunisian side Sfaxien, although it's understood there isn't concrete interest in the former at this moment in time. Any new arrivals may necessitate departures to avoid the squad becoming bloated once again.

Also said Myk is wanted by another team also.

Gray is clearly a big fan of Myko and I reckon we'll see him back for the new season.

I wonder if we are still interested in Julio Pleguezuelo, although it looks like he may have extended his contract earlier in the year. Wouldn't say no to Ryan Hardie although I'm sure a number of clubs would like him.

One thing I took from Alasanah Manneh’s performance against The The’s was how athletic he was and how good at pressing and intercepting passes he was.

You can see that we’ve targeted taller players up front and at the back, I think we’re beginning to see how SDG would like his midfield to be.

Hard to imagine Derek McInnes fitting in with the Jamestown analystics

Even going by some of their recent signings and players they’re rumoured with

Signed;

Steinwender - Signed in January and never looked brilliant
Kartum - As above and is a light weight right winger who cuts in. No real pace about him
Borchgrevink - Norwegian right back who signed a pre contract with them
Kyzidiris - left winger from Slovakian league

Heavily rumoured;

Soufiane El Faozi - Attacking midfielder playing in third tier of Germany
Chesnokov - Khazakstanian winger

No chance he plays half them

Funnily enough rumours of them signing Oisin McEntee who was rumoured with us a couple of months ago.

They had to pay a fee for Borchgrevink and my Jambo chum , who btw is always there to tell me how much a player cost as it’s what big teams do, tells me he cost £650k

You forgot to add McCart to that list of meh signings. A fee paid for him too.

Suspect the right back might be the pick of the bunch but if they had paid anywhere near that money we would have heard all about it.

Failed to score against anyone higher than 9th in the league or during the last 2 months. Dropped for their final league games and they looked much better without him. Good way for Bloom to extract some money out of them I suppose.

[ElginHibbie]

They're not part of a multi club setup, just so happens the best player the world beating analytics found them is a guy who is not needed at another club Bloom has a stake in

Nothing to see here, sure if we signed a player from Lorient they wouldn't be throwing out the "Bournemouth Reserves" chat

And then made to pay for someone who just had an unsuccessful loan.

[Donegal Hibby]

Some rumours that it was an obligation to buy rather than an option too . Whatever way you look at it he’s at best IMO an average signing. Seemed to have split opinions on him from their fans that’s of course before he signed permanently and became a world beater who’ll easily score 20 goals this season…

I don't know what Bournemouth's signing policy is. Kyogo turned 30 in January. Not sure how much he would cost and what kind of salary he'd want. It's not a player they would make money on. Maybe it's a low risk for a player like Bournemouth? Just doesn't seem to align with previous signings.

At the very least any season long loan would be effectively the end of his time at Hibs. Either that or we just pay the guy to bugger off.

I don’t think there’s any chance he’d speak to us let alone sign for us . Must be on a decent wedge at hertz , possibly 5 , 6 or 7k a week ? What would it take to get him 8 or more plus a big signing on fee ? . It might be worth it possibly if you were getting the player that was scoring goals but you could end up with the latest version of the unfit , not scoring with a not so good attitude version . Too much a gamble for that sort of money I think.

Yeah, I reckon a season long loan is the most likely outcome. He struggled at Motherwell so can't see their being many takers.

He’ll probably get on the park in pre season but I don’t think that’ll equate to getting a chance as such. You always have players making up the numbers at that point that aren’t part of the plans. I think he’ll fall in to that.

We do but if one of those 3 keepers is under the age of 22 or 23 (can’t remember which) and came through our youth team then they don’t count as taking up a space in our 25-man squad.

Therefore, I would expect for the first half of the season at least Murray Johnson will be used as our third choice.

I don’t think we need a YouTube reel to be convinced about Smiths abilities in goals, he did well last season.

We should always be trying to sign better though, then it’s up to Smith to prove he’s better than Paulsen.

I wonder if SDG may be able to do something with him to make him an effective impact sub? He had a mini-revival under Montgomery and for a short while looked half decent. His goal against Dundee was impressive.

I doubt it and at best he wouldn’t be more than someone who comes on with ten to go off the bench, but I just wonder.
