    Having a look at his last couple of seasons don't look great. Only managed 2 goals in the Turkish 2nd division last year. I'd avoid that one personally.

    Correct I have no idea but I was saying surely it's below one million or they would have mentioned 7 figures, like they do with other sales. Anything below 1 million is poor especially when they have admitted multiple teams were interested.
    Undisclosed means they aren't able to say.

    Melkerson was undisclosed yet they still said 7 figures. I'm not saying it is less than a million just think it's weird that it's not been mentioned.

    Also as a side note howcome any transfers for slightly bigger players the fee is always public. Yet are deals are always undisclosed. Is it some legal thing or?

    Imagine both clubs agree not to disclose

    Why would the club announce they've received a massive windfall when they're in market to buy players?

    Good luck to Vente. Another punt who was not suited to the Scottish game. Hopefully we have learned lessons now.

    What lessons should we have learnt ? We signed a guy from another country that looked like a good signing on paper and fortunately it didn’t work out which happens at times . Though we have signed many other players that have .

    Its quoted in the press that its an offer over £1m for Vente which is incredible due to the fact that he was surplus to requirements over a year ago. McKay is quoted saying it's a good deal for Hibs. Very few clubs give out transfer fees nowadays.

    Learned lessons, we gave it a shot and made a profit.

    Doesn't sound too much of a lesson to learn!

    Would consider Assombalonga as a 4th choice striker, in the similar mould of Gayle.

  14. #4693
    Theo Bair linked with a loan move to Kille.

    Could be some height in that forward line.

    Looks like he's been without a club since Feb. I wonder why that is? Still only 32

    Genuinely hope we are having discussions with S. Fletcher.

    Bowie could learn a lot from him, and it would be a fitting end to a wonderful career.

    Don't think we will be, but don't disagree. Managed 40 appearances for Wrexham last season albeit averaging about 20/25 minutes. Exactly what you'd be hoping he could manage here.

    I do think Scottish Premiership is a higher standard than English League One though.

    Heckingbottom thought it was "League One standard -bottom half of League One".

    Always thought he looked awful. Had a decent record at well but could easily be another Van Veen.

    Championship is mid Scottish prem to not as big as Celtic.

    We bring in some wafflers from down there.

    Unfortunately we can't compete for players in the English market, so I'm all for casting our net far and wide for players. It would be great to bring through one or two homegrown players but that's not been happening very often recently

    Why so determined to criticise the deal?

    Very odd take on what is a good deal for Hibs, we get rid of a player for good money that doesn't work for us, good deal for the player as he gets to move home, what's not to like?

    English championship clubs pay huge wages compared to SPFL clubs, apart maybe from Celtic and, to a lesser extent, Sevco.

    They can hoover up all the best players in Scotland so there's no possibility of the leagues being similar in standard.

    Wish Vente all the best. He never lacked effort but for various reasons it just didn't work out for him here.

    Hopefully the fee was big enough to allow us to re-invest in a proven goalscorer, it's a priority area for us this summer for sure.
