Apologies this one's come so late. Feel free to remind of any I've forgotten.

[04Sauzee]

Been looking forward to this thread 😁
Unseen Work to post his first YouTube reel by page 3 😁😁

[Nicho87]

I’d say kennah is confirmed out as the statement pretty much did say he’s off

[Ribs1875]

I hope we manage to at least retain Boyle.

[HoboHarry]

Who confirmed Bursik and Kwon are out? I fully expect they will be but when/where was it confirmed?

I assume he means because their loans are expiring and they’ll be returning to their parent clubs

[scoopyboy]

A rumoured in from Sunday’s game.

Anthony Ralston, an auld boy was telling me at half time. Was all excited about it as it was from a Celtic employee.

Said he had never got a signing rumour before in all his years watching Hibs

[badabing67]

About time this thread was opened :aok:

Ralston's contract runs till 2027 the only way I could see him coming here is loan. MM is well in with Brendan so I suspect something would be lined up from there. I also expect Lenny will get a bit of a helping hand for the Pars as well.

[Donegal Hibby]

What’s Motherwell’s Dan Casey like ? ( not us linked btw ) .

Nice 😅

I notice has scores as many with his left foot as he does his right foot.

[Dmas]

I’ve missed the NMW rumour, who’s supposedly in for him?

[04Sauzee]

Hearts fans seemed to think they were signing him in January.

Seemingly close to signing for them now

[green day]

Its because their loan period ends.

[Hibernian Verse]

Could be Robbie Brady. He would suit our older heads category especially when Gayle is leaving and Hoilett is out of contract.

[JohnM1875]

Hmm played mainly left mid for them this season. He is ex-Bournemouth, though before Black Knights I’m sure.

Maybe but with N Cadden and Obita are we not covered in that area?

Not sure who it is but I was told it is a recommendation from Tim Bezbatchenko

Jesus, I’d completely forgot Kwon existed.

[babahibs]

Wasn't Dalby at Dundee Utd rumoured on here a few weeks back, or did I imagine that?

[badabing67]

We are looking at a Midfielder from Preston North End.


Who? Wouldn't say no to Ally McCann but his contract runs to 2027 so doubt it would be him

[Thatdayinmay16]

I know we just humped them 4-0 but, I think Josh Mulligan could be a good potential addition, young, played a good number of games at the top level and been one of Dundee's better players in the last 2-3 years.

[Donegal Hibby]

Hearts fans seemed to think they were signing him in January.

Been mentioned again , one says it’s almost done too . I can’t say I ever really noticed him .
Another article I read said that Sevco are in talks with the agent of Peterborough’s Poku .

Have no ITK on if it's currently happening, but Ralston was one that we tried to get on loan when Lee Johnson was here and was told no. I wouldn't be hugely surprised if that door has reopened.

[JohnM1875]

I honestly think he’s gash.

[Thatdayinmay16]

I honestly think he’s gash.

Agreed, him and that Liam Scales being at Celtic for as long as they have been is mind boggling.

[Unseen work]

Have a search of Ryan Ledson on Twitter, he’ll get sent off every week up here 🤣

Some mental challenges!

Looks like he would be a ‘6’ and Triantis replacement. Big lad and seems to have a good range of passing

Got to wonder what will happen there, would of thought there would be a hold on transfer business till the new owners were in. Bet Lyall Cameron must be concerned about how things will pan out for him now. I imagine there is going to be a pretty big clear out.

Would be delighted with that he's really improved over the past few years. Just can't see it happening though as still under contract with Celtic.

[Centre Hawf]

I honestly think he’s gash.

I would say that currently I wouldn't break any budget to get him if we have Chris Cadden/Miller/Megwa all in that position. But I think he'd be a good signing for us if it was a position we were looking to fill. I don't think he's starting for Scotland level personally but I also don't believe he's a terrible player by any stretch.

[CapitalGreen]

Ralston would be an excellent signing.

[EGL2000]

I honestly think he’s gash.

He's definitely improved alot I used to think he was guff as well. Even for Scotland recently he's not looked out of place at all.

[badabing67]

Agreed, him and that Liam Scales being at Celtic for as long as they have been is mind boggling.

It wouldn't surprise me if me if Scales ended up back at Aberdeen next season. And for Ralston I'd think he would only come here if SDG is thinking about having the option of playing 4 at the back. Could be wrong but isn't Ralston pretty much a fullback as apposed to a wingback . Though he can put in a decent cross.

[Halmyre Hibee]

I know we just humped them 4-0 but, I think Josh Mulligan could be a good potential addition, young, played a good number of games at the top level and been one of Dundee's better players in the last 2-3 years.

I thought he played well going forward on the right against us. Managed a few runs through us on the right hand side. Good age with plenty potential.

[CapitalGreen]

Not sure who it is but I was told it is a recommendation from Tim Bezbatchenko

Could be Theo Mawene?

Turns 18 in the summer, Brighton and Brentford have been looking at him apparently. Could be one Bournemouth sign and then send up here. Would make sense if Bezbatchenko is involved.

I'll be hoping he does end up back at Aberdeen, 2 red cards and about 11 goals shipped in 2 games while he was at the heart of the Aberdeen side's defence when we played them a couple of years ago, he is absolutely rotten.

I'll reserve judgement for Ralston, If he can slot in at full back to help Miller/Cadden then great, plus he has European experience which could help us in the long run.

It also potentially means that O'Hora slots in at CCB and Megwa would then be sold.

[Donegal Hibby]

There was a video in the sun with Boyd and some other guy talking about a clear out that was needed there . Interesting one that came up was a player they have on loan who Boyd said they must use every loophole they possibly can in order not to sign him as the fee being talked about is around £3mil .

[Paulie Walnuts]

Ralston would be an excellent signing.

:agree:

[keep the faith]

I'm hoping for no new signings. Extend Rocky, Boyle and Miller. Hoilet for another year and sell Yoane and Vente. Use that money for a hopeful Triantis bid. Done!

[Donegal Hibby]

Agreed, him and that Liam Scales being at Celtic for as long as they have been is mind boggling.

I would have agreed with you around the time Scales was at Aberdeen but I think he’s improved a lot and his a better option than Trusty for them ..

As for Ralston , if there was anything in it does that mean Miller is moving on? . I think Ralston is a good club man for them and would be surprised if there was anything in it tbh .

[LEaston87]

I'm hoping for no new signings. Extend Rocky, Boyle and Miller. Hoilet for another year and sell Yoane and Vente. Use that money for a hopeful Triantis bid. Done!

We need to make signings and constantly improve the team and if we have Group Stage European football next season we need more quality throughout the squad. We can't make the same mistakes we made after finishing third the last time under JR.

[andrew70]

Scales is terrible. Better than Trusty, no chance.

Ralston would be a good signing and competition for C.Cadden now Miller has found his best position.

Would suit our formation well too.

TBH I could only see the Ralston thing happening if we get guaranteed group stage Euro footie

[Hiber-nation]

Ralston would be a fantastic signing. Probably best in a back 4 mind you and we don't want to change back to that any time soon. But good at RWB and could also slot in at RCB.

[badabing67]

Disagree about Scales he was the main reason we got so many opportunities against them at Parkhead in the league. He was poor that day. Trusty looked much better than him against us in the Scottish Cup

[Donegal Hibby]

Scales is terrible. Better than Trusty, no chance.

Ralston would be a good signing and competition for C.Cadden now Miller has found his best position.

Would suit our formation well too.

I know a fair few Celtic supporters that would disagree with you in they much prefer a defensive partnership of Vickers and Scales to one of Vickers and Trusty ..

Some of them have singled out quite a few times Trusty has been at fault , one of them being Campbells first goal in our 2-1 victory.

[CapitalGreen]

Could be Theo Mawene?

Turns 18 in the summer, Brighton and Brentford have been looking at him apparently. Could be one Bournemouth sign and then send up here. Would make sense if Bezbatchenko is involved.

To add to this, he’s yet to sign a professional contract with PNE. If he moved to a Scottish club, the fee would be much lower than if he moved to another English club.

[Since452]

We really need to build on this season and not screw SDG over the same way we did Jack Ross when we finished 3rd. It's so important we get the summer window right.

If we finish 3rd we have a real opportunity to elevate this club further going forward. What a chance we have. Let's not let history repeat itself.

None of the Celtic fans I know rate Scales. He’s a token gesture to most.

Will never play at such a high level once he leaves Celtic and I include Aberdeen, Hibs etc.

Is that his dad that was at preston and Aberdeen was decent 🤔

[superfurryhibby]

Ralston would be an excellent signing.

Who would he displace from the current team? I suppose if Miller is to leave and we want to play a back four, he would do a job there.

I would prefer Miller gets his contract extended, he's turning into a very good RCB, and can play right back if needed.

[Billy Whizz]

Have no ITK on if it's currently happening, but Ralston was one that we tried to get on loan when Lee Johnson was here and was told no. I wouldn't be hugely surprised if that door has reopened.

Ralston is an out and out right back, not a wing back. If we were to sign him we’d be looking to change shape to a back 4 on a regular basis

[Donegal Hibby]

None of the Celtic fans I know rate Scales. He’s a token gesture to most.

Will never play at such a high level once he leaves Celtic and I include Aberdeen, Hibs etc.

I didn’t rate him either especially from his time at Aberdeen but I’ve changed my opinion on him having watched him with both Celtic and the ROI . I think he’s improved.

The Celtic fans I know want another CH in the summer that’s better than him and Trusty but most in the meantime prefer Scales to partner Vickers . At least the ones I know do .

You say he will never play at a higher level including Aberdeen , Hibs etc but is he any worse than the likes of Gallagher, Graham ( Dundee Utd ), Halkett ,McCart (hertz ) , Rubezic , Knoester ( Aberdeen) O’Hora ,Ekpiteta or would he be an upgrade on some of these ? .

Would rather both our centre halves to be honest. The rest are torture but glad they don’t play for us.

[Smartie]

I honestly think he’s gash.


Ralston would be an excellent signing.

I could see him being either.

He's not played all that much football over the years so he's actually half decent considering that.

With a solid couple of seasons behind him where he plays every week I wouldn't be surprised if he turned into a very good player.

I just don't think you get to be that player being a reserve for Celtic who has the odd loan behind him and, er, the odd international appearance plus occasionally coming in from the cold to deputise at his club.

If that's the market that Sevco are looking at then they are knackered, they won't catch Celtic if that's the best they can afford.

[cubehindthegoal]

Agreed, him and that Liam Scales being at Celtic for as long as they have been is mind boggling.

I think they both have “room for improvement” … and part of me thinks we could improve Ralston, and the other part says na, surely celtic would have already. Hmm .. this fence I’m sitting on is comfy it seems 😂

The important thing next season is we don’t do what hearts did this season, and we make the most of our progress, keep as many of the players who have achieved this season like they have that we can, continue to move on the ones who should play no part, and bring in even one or two (I know we may need more depending on who moves on, and I’d add in an extra good goalie in addition actually) like Bowie and Cadden, and aim for more progress.

[Cabbage-Patch]

Could be Robbie Brady. He would suit our older heads category especially when Gayle is leaving and Hoilett is out of contract.

Correct me if I'm wrong but Gayle retiring isn't 100% confirmed. I'm sure he said after the win at Tynie if he was still scoring goals and enjoying playing he would reconsider.

[JohnM1875]

If that's the market that Sevco are looking at then they are knackered, they won't catch Celtic if that's the best they can afford.

Could be wrong, but think they have a £4mil obligation to buy that Cortes who’s always out injured for them.

So probably penny-pinching elsewhere.

[cubehindthegoal]

But I think he'd be a good signing for us if it was a position we were looking to fill. I don't think he's starting for Scotland level personally but I also don't believe he's a terrible player by any stretch.

Miller is doing a great job at RCH in a back three…. Cadden I am fine with in a pool of right wing backs … Megwa I haven’t as yet been convinced of … so if we find a strong option for RWB, I think it would be a sensible signing … LWB .. I enjoyed watching Obita on Sunday, and he could get better now it’s a 3-5-2 … and Nicky Cadden too … hmm … and there’s more to ponder, and also young players to come through at some point hopefully …

Good to have these “problems”. Well done SDG for getting us to this position, and also moving on when we can those that are better to move on.

[.Sean.]

Correct me if I'm wrong but Gayle retiring isn't 100% confirmed. I'm sure he said after the win at Tynie if he was still scoring goals and enjoying playing he would reconsider.
He’s never played in Europe. I think (hope) that might sway him

[Bostonhibby]

If that's the market that Sevco are looking at then they are knackered, they won't catch Celtic if that's the best they can afford.Agree, seen him a few times, good player at that level, not sure about the development potential but no higher up club seriously linked. Never occurred to me that he'd add much to Hibs but you never know.

[Donegal Hibby]

I think there were quite a few clubs interested in him before he got injured . How good is he ? I don’t know but he appears to be on Sevco’s radar , probably because his contract is near out ..

https://the72.co.uk/2025/02/19/burnley-peterborough-united-darragh-macanthony-winter-interest-kwame-poku/

The other one that’s interesting is Boyd in the Sun says Sevco must do everything they can to get out of signing Cortes who they have on loan with an obligation to buy for around £3 mill …

I’d love it if they had to pay £3mill for a player they don’t want 😆

[tonyrougier123]

Got to say I’m a big Liam scales admirer, think he’s perfect kind of cb for our shape, didn’t always rate him though. Still hold out hope we can get pleguezelo if Plymouth go down. Think that’s realistic. Or maybe not 😬

[Since90+2]

Yip.

Talk of finishing 2nd next season is very jamboesque, let's try and secure 3rd this season before we get ahead of ourselves.

Thay have previous for not reading the fine print too closely lol. If Boyd is saying that publicly then I suspect they know privately they can't get out of it.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

Talk of Ralston is making me think of why would we change to a back 4 when a back 3 is our strongest and most balanced system with these players.

Rocky has never looked comfortable in a back 4 and I’m yet to be convinced of Iredale as a LB or Miller/Cadden as a RB.

I wonder if we are considering changing formation. But then I think why giving the run we are on just now.

[Thatdayinmay16]

I'd Genuienly rather Sean Ohanlon than Liam Scales.

[Wilson]

Good grief, I'd no idea lol, yet another calamitous decision by them. Seriously, if we can build on what we currently have and that's where Sevco are at there isn't a reason in the world why we can't finish second next year.

There is too many moving parts, on our own side even, to consider that a possibility. For example does Rocky stay? Has Gayle got another season? Is Boyle Australia bound? Is there a remote possibility of getting Triantis back?

Not being able to keep a decent team together is an age old hibs problem.

Even considering that the recruitment team knows what they are doing, you have to allow for the new players to bed in. For a dynamic anything close to the current one to be found.

Rightly, we'll be looking to secure top six as soon as possible and THEN seeing how far we can go.

And all this went without saying that typically teams in Europe struggle to maintain their league form while competing on the big stage.

2nd? Crazy talk.

Well to be fair it's more of a reflection on how poor a state Sevco are in financially as opposed to what we are doing. Given their resources they should be out of sight from us but they aren't...

League table says they are, even now … the rangers have been pretty crap, yet are still not catchable now (oh, but I do like to dream it so, but money talks, as they find out in the Champions League time after time too) … celtic and the rangers will always generate more cash than all the other Scottish clubs, from glory hunter appeal … and similarly, there are European teams out of sight from them.

[Bridge hibs]

Talk of Ralston is making me think of why would we change to a back 4 when a back 3 is our strongest and most balanced system with these players.

Rocky has never looked comfortable in a back 4 and I’m yet to be convinced of Iredale as a LB or Miller/Cadden as a RB.

I wonder if we are considering changing formation. But then I think why giving the run we are on just now.If we get into europe I would expect we may have to switch formations to suit certain ties, that along with having a substantial pool of players to play midweek and weekend schedules. I know europe could be over quickly depending our luck of the draw but I would hope we are making signings with the thought of competing in europe regularly.

I was thinking on Saturday… that if we’d persisted with these players in a 433 all season and especially with Myko as a single central striker… Gray would be about 4 months gone, we’d be in the bottom 2, we’d be tearing strips off one another, desperately looking forward to the summer rebuild and pondering whether we first need to punt Gray’s successor.

I actually think we might be a bit complacent about what might lie ahead. Sweeping changes to the team (maybe enforced by losing players whose contracts are coming to an end), a change to a formation that doesn’t suit our players and I could see us hurtling backwards as quickly as we’ve recently progressed.

We should really value what we’ve got right now imo.

[tonyrougier123]

I'd Genuienly rather Sean Ohanlon than Liam Scales.

I’d have thought a year ago, seen Celtic quite a bit with him there, comfortable on ball always looking forward, alert. Aye he’s had some shoddy moments for sheep and Celtic but I really rate him as a modern cb, but I do understand folks pre conceptions of the player he was. I’m not even sure why there was chat about him just seen him mentioned and thought I’d give an opinion the player.

[tonyrougier123]

I know we just humped them 4-0 but, I think Josh Mulligan could be a good potential addition, young, played a good number of games at the top level and been one of Dundee's better players in the last 2-3 years.

Mulligan would be a very good signing, versatile and scope for further improvement in a decent side.

[Dmas]

Can’t see Megwa being a first team regular

He got Thistle's young player of the year however the replies on the twitter post where less than complimentary, think he may have won by default

I thought he made some really good runs with and without the ball and recovered it from Triantis a couple of times.

Edit: Looks like he's a Dundee youth product so he will require a development fee despite being out of contract.

I think whatever happens this window, taking numbers we might need for group euro stages in to account, it has been shown how much more can be coached into a side by reducing a huge squad down to 2 eleven's. Malky Mackay deserves huge credit for keeping the right players and trimming us down very quickly. Good football man, glad to have him at the club. And long may that be the case.

I'm hoping for no new signings. Extend Rocky, Boyle and Miller. Hoilet for another year and sell Yoane and Vente. Use that money for a hopeful Triantis bid. Done!

Would say we have to make new signings but our top targets should be Rocky and Miller. Got to be keeping Boyle aswell and with the year option is a no brainer. I'd also like to see Levitt extend now he's showing the quality he has.

We will lose Youan, Gayle, Myko and possibly Hoilett from those contributing. Kwon, Bursik, Vente, Tavares, Kenneh - there'll be plenty movement in the summer.

McGrath and Manneh in the door already.

[500miles]

He was injured at the start and then again toward the end of the season last year for Dundee that's why he dropped out after the split.

Still played a decent amount of games in a midfield alongside Cameron, McCowan and Sylla last season. Was a hernia injury that kept him out if I remember correctly.

The development fee set by Tribunal for Connor Barron was £640k + £250k in potential add-ons and a sell on clause.

Mulligan is the same age as Barron, has played more senior games, has more international caps. He has been developed by Dundee longer than Barron spent at Aberdeen.

I imagine he’ll move South as any fee to move domestically will prove to prohibitive and nobody will want to risk a tribunal.

Does it make a difference what European grading the selling club are? (Not sure grading is the right word but hopefully you know what I mean). Sure it’s linked to facilities, number of coaches etc…..

It does for the FIFA calculation. The SFA don’t publish their methodology so we can only guess but i imagine it will take that into account too.

Dundee’s academy is the level below Aberdeen which is why I don’t think they’ll get as much as Barron went for (£640-890k), and closer to £500k is more likely.

I'm getting Dhanda "split the Old Firm" vibes :duck:

Yep. It needs to be remembered this group could still end up finishing 5th. And even a chance we might not be in european competition if Hearts or Aberdeen shock everyone and win the cup. Despite the amazing run and the fun we’ve all had, we’ve achieved nowt at this point.

[worcesterhibby]

Like others I'd like to see extensions for Boyle, Miller, Rocky and Hoilett. Plus use the £3million we get for Vente to buy Triantis :greengrin

So we would still need:

New 2nd goalie
Replacement for Dwight Gayle
Replacement for Myko

We need at least two GOOD players for event position

Goalies - Smith + Alex Paulsen ? (or another)
Right centre back - Miller + Marvin
Centre Back - Rocky + O'Hora
Left Centre Back - Iredale + Obita

Right wing back - C Cadden + Megwa ?
Left Wing Back - N. Cadden + ? (Obita can cover but not if Iredale is also injured)

Midfield - Triantis/Newell, McGrath/Campbell, Manneh/Levitt, Rudi/NMW

Forwards - Bowie/ ? Boyle/ ? Hoilett/?

I'm assuming the following will be away or retired:

Vente, Youan, Kwon, Bursik, Tavares, Delfierre, Kenneh, Gayle

It's up front that we have the most to get sorted... right now it's basically Bowie and no one else... so we need to get Boyle and Hoilett sorted or we are looking for up to four new forwards!! since as it stands we would be losing Boyle, Hoilett, Myko and Gayle

Your right, but it was still a relevant reminder by HV

Harry was just too lightweight for our league, as well as being severly hampered by illness and bad dress sense. It's not a surprise that we have done much better since we introduced a load of big units to the line up ! Having said that if you are class, you don't need to be a big unit, just look at Dwight Gayle

A proper can of worms this, if the 2 teams are in the same league would it be reasonable to assume that the clubs spend roughly the same to develop a player. The difference being the clubs with bigger budget can try to develop more players. Ultimately the ability of the player and hence the market value of the player should be the main consideration in setting a development fee. In your scenario, if you were a Motherwell fan. Would you not be a bit upset, if you got a lower level of development fee for Lennon Miller than Aberdeen got for Barron, because of the size of the club or some form of grading.

It’s always been the case that certain clubs will achieve more for selling a player than other clubs will. We would get more for selling a player than say Ross County would, the scenario you are talking about just sort of formalises it.

It’s not a pie in the sky figure made up out of nowhere, the figure is a reflection on how much that club spends on youth development. If Celtic spend say 10x more than Hibs to produce young players, I understand why when it comes to a tribunal, that would be taken into account. The organisations involved are trying to make sure it’s worthwhile for clubs to spend money on their youth infrastructure.

We’ve recently tried to buy two players for just over £1m. I don’t know how much it’d cost us to buy him ourselves but it’s not impossible it could be around that mark.

I’d like us to see if we can buy him ourselves before needing the black knights to do it for us. Obviously depending on the cost that may not be an option. Anything from £1m to £1.5m with a decent sell on % would be possible for us I’d have thought if we make the group stages of European football.

It doesn’t contravene FFP/PSR, but Bournemouth paying a fee for Triantis would contribute to their spending under FFP/PSR. The amount Bournemouth have available to spend under FFP/PSR currently is very tight, they aren’t going to be buying players for other teams.

Do they not have a young player who is going to be sold to one of the big English clubs at the end of the season?

That will surely help.

Also they would not be buying him for Hibs but for themselves to take back and this would form part of their development.

[GreenCastle]

Triantis with European football on his CV definitely adds value to his transfer value also.

Reckon it’s 50/50 if he returns - ideally with us in Europe !

[Ribs1875]

Triantis has been a integral part of the streak. I think it's unlikely he is going to be with us next season. As much as he would be a loss, I think we would learn to live without him. There are plenty of players I am sure we will be in the market for. Triantis despite a slow start, has made us forget about Marcondes.

We are anticipating losing a few key players through contract expiry and transfer fees, but it's not the end of the world. It enables existing players and youth to step up. The fact we are on course to finish strongly makes me enthusiastic about our recruitment this summer coming.

More that they see him as having the potential to play for Bournemouth in the future and therefore make an investment akin to the one they made with Alex Paulsen.

Paulsen signed for*a reported initial fee of £850,000, rising up to £2 million*on a 4 year contract.

Would that sort of deal interest Sunderland?

Do Hibs have the buying power to put together something like this?

Would we be able to match Triantis' wage demands?

I sincerely hope that he is a Hibs player next season. Really rate the guy. Gives me Scott McTominay and Declan Rice vibes with the way he runs very upright scanning the field.

I can’t see Bournemouth doing anything like that. They may have infinitely better resources than us but their squad size is nowhere near the size of the big players in their league. By Premiership standards they are a fairly lean operation, buying players and instantly putting them out on loan will be more of a rarity than the norm for them.

Unlike in previous years I am pretty confident that we have people in place now pre-planning for the potential loss of what Triantis brings with alternatives already identified. I want him to stay but won’t be too despondent about it if he goes.

McKirdy scored more goals in that league than Ollie Watkins and Ivan Toney. Should probably judge players as individuals on their own merits rather than tarring every player with the same brush based simply on where they came from.

Of course good players can come from anywhere.

Re your point though, Watkins and Toney were kids at 20 and 18 respectively when they played in that league. McKirdy was in his prime at 24/25.

[dangermouse]

Unlike in previous years I am pretty confident that we have people in place now pre-planning for the potential loss of what Triantis brings with alternatives already identified. I want him to stay but won’t be too despondent about it if he goes.

Is Manneh not meant to be Triantis replacement?

They also had significantly better goals to games ratios in that league than McKirdy. McKirdy had a better season than either of them ever managed, but over their short careers in League Two they were way more productive than McKirdy was.

The player DH shared the link of is the same age as Watkins was.

If we dismissed players simply based on bad previous experiences with players from the same division we would rule out most leagues.

you can be absolutely sure that Rangers do see us as a threat next season. If they can take a key player away from us, they will. I just hope Triantus looks at the state of The Rangers and sees his future elsewhere ( Easter road ideally)

[SChibs]

I wonder if Vente would consider another crack at Scottish Football now we have a better team. He might be looking at Cadden whipping in excellent crosses every week and fancy his chances of scoring a load. He could be like a new signing replacing Gayle and taking the pressure off Boyle a bit who will be a year older

[Centre Hawf]

Rangers will not see us as a threat. Not in a million years will they consider any of us below them as such. They'll do what they always do and sign £5/6/7m worth of players for their new manager and push for the title even if they're so far off Celtic still. To split the Old Firm you need about 75 points and that still relies on Rangers being the worst version of themselves that season, the rest of us aren't getting that amount. The worst Celtic team of the last 15 years still finished 14 points ahead of arguably the best Hibs team of the same period.

maybe, maybe, but it’s not stopped Rangers or Celtic taking our best players in the past, despite their protestations that the standard of the league makes it hard for them in Europe. They love being much better than everyone else in the league and they both LOVE proving it by hoovering up the best SPFL players for fun, when they can. Particularly if the can unsettle the player and then lowball us.

we did a great job of resisting it with SJM, we just don’t have the same power over the fate of Triantus.

I think Vente has more or less indicated he wants to move and with his contract situation is probably best for all parties , with him doing well we will hopefully make a tidy profit . It will all be needed as we don’t know what’s happening with Myko, Boyle , Gayle and Youan yet?

League 2 Records

Toney 1 goal every 255 mins
Watkins 1 goal every 246 mins
McKirdy 1 goal every 205 mins

Goals per minute is always a fairly misleading stat imo.

It’s always trotted out when someone hasn’t scored a particularly impressive amount of goals. The stat obviously doesn’t tell us why they haven’t scored a very impressive amount. For example, if McKirdy has a record like that, you’d expect him to have more than 34 in 131 in that league. Ultimately his goals per minute is like that because he spent so much time as a League Two sub striker, starting 76 and being subbed on in 55. Compare that to Watkins who had 21 goals in 68 games and started 55 while being subbed on in 13 then you start to see more of a picture.

Dwight Gayle for example has a better goals to minute ratio than Boyle this season in the league. He hasn’t been better or more productive than Boyle though.

Don't disagree that it won't stop them taking a Triantis if they want to, and while I would normally say that the days of the Glasgow two hoovering up the talent in the league has sorta died off, but I think Rangers have been etching closer to getting back to that with the likes of Barron, Cameron, Souttar, Wright etc.

Triantis I think would be a good signing for them sadly.

[Hibernian Verse]

In saying that your own first sentence was rendered redundant.

Good players can come from anywhere but it's still relevant to consider the level they're playing at when you're watching YouTube reels. McKirdy was just a recent example of a signing from League Two that is fresh in the mind. It's easy for Donegal to get excited. As my Granny would have said, Ca' Canny.

The numbers were simply presented without comment to conplement the basic goals per game numbers presented.

In fact, your post strengthens my argument that to get a clearer picture of a player, you really have to drill further into what they are doing rather than simply making a judgement based on where they play or their top level stats.

Without a doubt, had Watkins being playing in EFL2 now and been linked to us, their would be numerous posts on this thread dismissing him due to where he plays and citing McKirdy as an example.

[Donegal Hibby]

Forgot about Hoilett in fairness , was meaning more on our attacking options which could be the area we see the biggest change too if we don’t retain some ..

Though your right about Miller and Rocky in the defence who would be a big miss

Kwon , Triantis in midfield and Triantis would be another big miss ..

There’s a few players we have while not impossible but it will be hard to find suitable replacements I think if they leave or we can’t get them back .

[Hibiza]

What I would love to see is Bournemouth buying Triantis from Sunderland and loaning him to us for the season.

He then gets European experience and develops in his best position.

At only 21 he definitely has time to develop into a Premiership player.

Will Bournemouth take a punt?

If he signed an extension then yes, but the club and playerboth keen to part ways by what's been said on each side lately. No point losing someone at the end of next season we forked out good cash on for nothing. Especially on the back of a good season he's had for a diddy Dutch team. He will get cashed in this summer.

If McGrath has a stormer today does he play next week. That he has to be a pretty strange position for a player in that scenario.

I Dont think we need him were decent options in the middle of the park with McGrath and Manneh. But I would like us to add pace out wide and upfront.We will also need a bigger squad if we get into Europe, don't think we have enough at present to cover thur sun games. But I'm confident it's under control and we are speaking to players.

I would have been in favour of signing him based on what I saw of him in the past but on recent performances that Ive seen on tv he looked way off the player he was at Well and early doors in England.

The recent game at tiny he looked like he had been plucked from the pub leagues in Edinburgh and I cant think of anything positive he done in that game.

I would have no problem in trying to resurrect his career with a cheeky bid if SDG likes him, he wouldnt be the first player to struggle to settle at a new club in a new midfield (Dylan Levitt anyone?).

But if we want help in that position id prefer Josh Mulligan from Dundee if his performance against us is anything to go by. At 22 hes also4 years younger than Campbell.

Moving outwith Scotland, the buying club would only have to pay the development fee as calculated by FIFA’s Training Compensation framework. Looking at the online calculator FIFA provide, the fee would be about £300k.

Moving to another Scottish Club, the buying team would need to agree a development fee with the selling club, should the clubs fail to agree then a fee would be set by a tribunal plus associated legal costs on top of that.

Is there any good reason why we don’t just set a ruling that we use FIFA’s Training Compensation framework .. that seems anyone can see and use … and stop chucking money down the drain in Scottish football, with tribunals and legal fees ?

FIFA requires all member associations to have their own rules in place for domestic training compensation. It’s rare it even ends up in a tribunal. The only examples I can think of off the top of my head are the recent Connor Barron transfer and Charlie Telfer joining Dun Utd from Rangers in 2014.
