Summer 2020-21 transfer thread

[H18 SFR]

Are we not on the record as saying that we won’t sign anyone whilst the players are on reduced wages?

[Hibs90]

We need;

RB - Naismith?
CB - ?
LB - ?
DM - ?
MC - Docherty?
AML/R - Boyle back up?
ST - McNulty not good enough

Minimum. Have to bare in mind also that the ageing players will be even older. You could argue a whole new back 4 is required. Yet another summer with a huge rebuild.

[Ozyhibby]

We could probably do with McGregor and Gray moving to their non playing roles.

Wonder if we will go back in for Nisbet and that boy from Hamilton who will now be available for nothing? Don't think Nisbet will cost anything like the 400k that we were rumoured to be paying in Jan.

Alex Gojic?

Don't think we have been linked with him. I have been very impressed every time i have seen him play in the midfield. Notice he's also out of contract this summer.

Yes. Good player with scope to improve and ability to be effective in defence and midfield. Good age, stature, physical presence and temperament. Lack of any real pace but would be an excellent addition to the squad.

There is room for manoeuvre though with loan players going back.

These 7 should free up a significant amount of available wage , and it is going to be a market for clubs who have money or are prudently run like ourselves to take advantage of. However , the club has stated that no new players will be signed whilst there is the policy of reduced wages.
Has there been an indication of when the transfer window will last to ? I appreciate that we dont know when football will start again in this country , but IMO , a number of clubs will be cutting their cloth accordingly and runnning leaner , cheaper squads next season and although its a difficult balancing act to acheive , getting some of these free agents being mentioned would be a significant boost to the squad and help Hibs have an excellent start to the new season , whenever that will be. Getting a jump start in the league while other clubs are building squads , should in theory be a huge boost for the club

[scotiaf]

I am not sure we will sign anyone unless previously agreed, i think it could be one of the strangest seasons in my lifetime with other clubs utilizing youngsters to make a squad. Potential reduced salaries still until its possible to get fans back through the doors, I can’t see us spending 400k on any player even if it was Messi. Sorry to be doom and gloom on a thread that normally starts out fun till around mid July and goes crazy.

Gogic I feel would be a a class signing. One that would fly under the radar and he’s free

Jonathan Obika anyone?!

Not sure we will sign anyone apart from possibly Docherty and/or Omeonga if some sort of deal has been pre arranged. Kamberi as a makeweight for the Doc may help facilitate that. Mind you giving players 2/ 3 year deals in the current context are extremely risky. Think we will be wondering what academy players can step up. The LB/ LCB on loan at Queens Park last season did well apparently, maybe we will go with hiM and a couple of others. If we do sign anyone a DCM is priority 1, followed by by a striker. I’d take McNulty but doubt he would accept significantly reduced terms. Mind you Reading will want rid so you never know

[Billy Whizz]

I see Ross County have made their Sporting Director, Scott Boyd redundant.
Shows you football is tightening its belt.

[JDT]

This might be the season Scottish football (bar the old firm) might have to use their youth academies more. We've had few young players out on loan who seem to have made positive contributions so maybe now's the time for them to get a chance.

[hibbyfraelibby]

Financial reality probably means we will have a smaller tighter squad. If they are not already here, in one form or another, then I cannot see many if any coming in unless someone leaves for big bucks...which no-one has.

[Blaster]

Our main priority should be trying to get Martin Boyle to extend his contract.

[Phil MaGlass]

I don´t think there will be many signings this year, we don´t even know when the season will start, especially if theres the slightest chance of the virus appearing again in the winter months, keep the money in the pocket, all clubs should be told to use atleast 5 youngsters in their 1st team and the SPFL should come out now and say there will be no relegation or promotion next year

A good shout! I thought he looked really lively the few times I saw him play. Although wiki says he signed a 2 year deal in summer of 2019, so contracted until 2021.

Hopefully the boy Gogic first

Agree with this, need to be conservative at least until we know things are back to normal (or as near as they are going to be)

[Souter96Mac]

Probably a great chance to go for it and challenge for 3rd, however in the uncertain financial outlook, I agree with others. We should focus on blooding in youngsters

I'd much rather we played our youngsters than brought in players like this. None of them take us from what we have right now, to a better level of playing side. They're squad fillers, at best.

It was Mickel Miller we were after not Gocic but both are interesting if raw.

Get the feeling that if it was going to happen then it wouldve by now. Hes at an age where if hes going to get a "big" move then this is probably the time. Hes in the peak years of his career. I wouldnt be surprised to see him leave in this window

With the 4th biggest budget in the league we bloody better be challenging for third?

There will be a lot of players available in the coming months. Think we will see a fair amount leaving Hibs too.
