***Non-Hearts Summer 2021 Transfer Thread***

[RustyRightPeg]

Strange one in the making…

 

Barca and Athletico have agreed a swap deal for Griezman and Saul (Barca want some cash too). Remarkably bad business signing Griezman on a 5 year deal on ludicrous wages. 
 

the deal is supposed to be saving them c €12M a year in wages which is what they need to keep doing as they currently can’t register any of their new signings (including messi) due to the rules in Spain.

A lot of players sign for Celtic with the hope of getting a move to the EPL, it must be really annoying when they actually want to make the move down south and Celtic are sticking ridiculously high valuations on them. 
 

Ajer isn’t a £20m player in his life. Lanky streak of piss that comes off as a total helmet.

Celtic will have received around £30 million from transfer sales in 2021 should Ajer depart

 

Spent very little so far but they will be able to pay the bills from any Covid shortfall

Two hat-tricks, both against us at Tynecastle for Killie and St Johnstone.🥺

I notice that Sean Clare has moved from Oxford to Charlton Athletic, joins up with fellow scorer against Hibs, Conor Washington.

Getting the band back together down there Uche will find himself at Charlton in 6 months when his time at Boro will end when they find out how bad a player he is. 

[Rick Sanchez]

How do you go from Oxford, sent on loan to Burton and then get a move to Charlton.

“He felt for his development it was best he moved on - he wants to be an ‘8’.

 

“If you look at that position, we already have a load of players in that area - James Henry, Marcus McGuane, Cameron Brannagan.

 

It seems he doesn't know his best position. If Oxford deem you not good enough for centre mid then I'm not sure what Charlton see...his awareness was awful.

 

Good luck though.

8 generally means box to box in modern terms, with a 6 being a sitting midfielder and a 10 being the one off the strikers. 
 

I’d agree re. your comments on his awareness, wasn’t great.  It was what let him down when he played centrally for us ultimately. I always say the best central midfielders tend to play with wingmirrors so they know what’s coming from the side and behind, he used to get caught on the ball a lot.
 

Off the ball he wasn’t great either tended to lose his runners coming from behind him but strangely enough, I think if he’s gonna succeed in central

midfield he’d need to be a sitting midfielder.  
 

He’s neat and tidy on the ball most of the time, and plays better when the game is in front of him, much like he did at right back for us. He does have a defensive discipline which he showed when playing at right back, so I reckon he’d be suited to that.

Funnily enough, I think he'd be great competition for Smith as RWB in our current formation.

he improved without doubt but was never a full back or a wing back in a million years. Positionally he was still god awful . He is never ever ever a defender or a player who should be anywhere near a position where he may need to defends. His positional sense non existent and couldn’t tackle .

 

I’ve no idea what his best position is, but absolutely delighted it’s someone else’s problem

3 teams all from same league not really a surprise he's wound up at Charlton,they'll realise he's not great and will be at a Pompey or so the next season

Fair enough. I think he was a better player than we got to see, mostly through being shunted around. Be interesting to see what he does in the rest of his career.

26, £4m and wasn't even in Sweden's squad for the Euros. Be fine for the SPFL no doubt but say goodbye to Europe if that's their level of signing these days.

Already a downgrade on ajer. Only Celtic could have a rebuild and sign players worse than last seaso 

[Guest ToqueJambo]

Noticed on the story about Hibs new midfield signing being injured a bit about Chris Cadden (also injured). I'd completely forgotten they signed him.

 

How many midfielders do they have exactly? Dozens it seems, and not a single youngster good enough to even just get a few games in that area for several seasons, while we've given several chances.

 

And we're the club with a bloated squad not giving kids a chance?

I see Chelea have sold 2 of their promising 18 year olds to EPL clubs. Maybe not direct competitors in Brentford and Leeds. No buy back clauses either. 

 

It says what the opportunities  are for youth at the biggest clubs. At least like the Gilmour loan they might have a better chance now.

That is a statement of intent at that level

Hibs are spending a lot of money in Scottish terms to retain their best of the rest tag. Not many sides have been able to do that other than Aberdeen but rangers weren’t around which helped them.

They're definfitely rolling the dice. Lots of fees paid, some quite large relatively speaking, for the likes of Doige, Nisbet, McGennis, Mackay, Mueller, Cadden... not a lot of return so far. We achieved 3rd and were heading for 2nd under Neilson with a much lower outlay.
