Summer 2021-22 transfer thread

[northstandhibby]

Irvine's a terrific player to have in the midfield and I'd be delighted if he stays. I'll also wish him all the very best if he moves to a club that is not one of our direct rivals. I'm also a big fan of the Motherwell player Campbell who would be a capture if we managed to attain his services. If we could keep Irvine and add Campbell it would be brilliant but probably unlikely. Who knows.

[Unseen work]

I get some people don’t rate him but to be he’s a very good player for this level and it would be a huge loss is he went to Aberdeen.

Yes some games he was quiet or never had the impact some expected. But as a whole he played behind the striker or left mid, neither would be his best position Imo.

What did change when he came in though was our overall performances imo and especially the performance of those around him - Boyle being the main one.

They seemed to always be on the same wave length and he created a lot of chances with his vision.

He clearly never had his goal scoring boots on but he got in the right position repeatedly and at previous clubs has chipped in with goals so he had the capabilities.

He’s a big lad, can run all day and is good on the ball. Perfect for Scottish football.

Central 2 between him, Newell, Gogic and Magennis with Allan just infront.

He got in so many goal scoring positions and I get the feeling he will get 10 goals next year if he stays with us and we play a similar style. He could be a massive player for us with a bit of luck. He looked liked Doidge did earlier in the season and we saw how quickly his finishing improved from terrible to very good with a goal or two to give him confidence.

I think we really improved as a team when he arrived and was a big part of why we finished 7 points clear in 3rd.

I agree with most of this.

The annoying this is you hope Ross hasn’t annoyed him playing him out of position that he wants to move to another club and play more centrally.

I’ve said numerous times on here before we can’t go into next season with same midfield - we need to improve it or we will struggle. The whole team needs more depth and competition for places.

I know we have but not sure Newell and Irvine play well together - it’s the Mallan / Allan situation all over again. All a bit one paced and we need more bite in the middle with some quality on ball too.

The biggest disappointment from central midfield was the lack of goals.

[Highwayman]

Reference previous posts as to rumoured interest in the massively injury prone Mikey Devlin.

Surely Hibs can’t afford another season where they have half a team they can’t rely on because of injury,recovering from long term serious injury or illness.

Namely Messrs Cadden,Mackie,Magennis,Allan,Wright and Murphy.

If Hibs want Jason Kerr they’ll have to sell Porteous for decent gelt and persuade St Johnstone to part with him for probably most or all of Porto fee.

As for Alex Campbell.Seems like the boy has his eye (like Nesbit) on big bucks down south.

I'd expect Irvine to be a better player in the coming season (whoever he is with) with a full pre-season behind him. Likewise Magennis and Scotty Allan who could be like having a couple of new signings given how little they played in 2020/2021. You could maybe even say the same for Murphy, if he can avoid injury and get a run in the team.

Meant Alan Campbell.Don’t know where I got Alex from.

[Unseen work]

Was there not an article saying it would only cost 300k for Kerr?

If it’s true we should match that straight away.

Only in the last year of his contract and I’m not sure St Johnstone would be able to reject too much money.

I’d be stunned if we got him for as little as 300k especially as he’s the captain and double cup winner.

Him for Porteous would be a fantastic bit of business especially when we’d be making a profit.

I’d be trying to sign McCart too.

Kerr open to extending his contract in Perth.

He is a decent centre half who knows his job. Ryan has the potential to be much more.
I like Kerr but if RP continues to learn he will play at a different level.

Mystery to me.

He’s miles better than Porteous.

If we were able to sell Porteous, bring in Kerr and have money left over, that would be the outcome of the century.

I still think that Kerr is probably out our reach, as are most of the targets we’d want.

It’ll be rabbits out of hats stuff from the recruitment team again. In fairness, they’ve done well in the recent past and I’d trust the club to get it right again.

Boyle is the one we’d have most trouble replacing, particularly if rumours of release clauses etc are true.

I’m quite relaxed about the idea of losing Porteous and Nisbet, especially if we got a few quid and it found it’s way towards decent replacements.

Better defender at present but nowhere near as good on the ball which will be the reason Ryan will play at a higher level.

Irvine will probably have decent offers from elsewhere, possibly Asia/Australia? I’d be surprised if he left us to go to Aberdeen.

Good question. Ryan is 2 years younger than Jason, has been capped at 3 underage levels, has twice as many U21 caps as Jason & has been involved in full Scotland squads. If Jason was at Hibs & Ryan at St J, some posters on here would be saying Ryan was the better player. We seem at times to delight in putting our own players down.

Could happen with absolutely anyone we sign. Murphy went about 12 years of his career without missing a game.

[Jones28]

Jason Kerr is a billion times better than Porteous. That’s why St Johnston had no offers for him in January.

[Heisenberg]

I’m sure Porteous would do a fine job if asked to spend the majority of the time defending his own 18 yard box with the help of two other central defenders and two defensive midfielders in front of him.
