** Hearts - January Transfer Window 2022 ** Toby Sibbick signs 3.5 year deal

[151]

Everton supporting pal who told me Beni would be outstanding has said Simms who is coming  reportedly, will bag double figures.

Another one in the eye for the Bongo haters.

Okay, the sneaky rumour did happen last night and now Anderson saying he could be at Tynecastle tonight. I’m not far off being able to claim to be ITK! 👀 

 

I'm with ya. You're now officially on my ITK list 😄

Perhaps he will be cut a lot more slack in future.  Even when he gets abuse he's courteous in reply.

Looks to be an interesting signing. Hope he's not the only attacker in.

A swoop and shock inclusion in one day.

He rightly gets it tight for his general football slaverings and can also  be quick in dishing out "banter", he's no victim. 

 

However, like many he doesn’t deserve abuse when suggesting possible interest in players or transfer news.

Doesn't take a genius to figure it out. Barry Anderson logged onto Kickback as he always does, saw that Bongo Song had been posted, then told his past self to write article linking us to Everton FC forward Ellis Simms.

I would agree with everything there but I do disagree that he isn't a victim when he's clearly victimized at times. 

 

Even some of the "slavering" is playing the man and not the ball. 

 

Anyway off topic.  Very good signing it seems today

We wanted Simms permanently last time. Wonder if we still do.

Everton rate him really highly and just gave him a new contract.  Pipe dream at this stage, lucky enough to get this calibre of player on loan as it is. 

[Jack Torrance]

It was discussed earlier in the thread, regarding leaks to the media. The way Banderson has "broke" the name, backs that up.

 

If it does come to fruition, it's clear the media will only get an insight when the deals are done.

 

Banderson mentioned the name last night and he'll have been told to hold off on releasing more details until today.

 

So he's drip feeding now that the deal is close and he might be at the ground tonight. Then when the signing is confirmed he can say he exclusively revealed it earlier.

 

 

[JamboCampbell]

Branthwaite in the stand tonight, scenes! 

 

Chances of signing either on a perm are slim though nah? Got to say its looking more and more like Joe and the boys are waiting for the 'right' players before splashing any cash. could be a big summer ahead if we secure the european money. maybe these deals with an option to buy....

Indeed. The less said about that sneaky, time-travelling villain Barry Anderson the better, however.

 

Anyway, this Blackpool journo seems to think he's better than Gnanduillet, so that's a start.

Gnando scored some good goals for Blackpool as well and look how he turned out. If this comes off then I will judge the guy once I have seen him play. He looks good and has a decent predigree but we only have him until the end of the season it would seem.

That's a mighty low bar - better than Gnanduillet.

If so would hope it’s permanent rather than a loan.

Maybe just making sure they get a fee. On been with them 4 years. Was Man u before

The lad's own views on where he wants to go might be more of a stumbling block than the cost.

 

If he's keen to come and enjoys it here, it might make Everton easier to deal with. On the flip side, he might just want to come for a few months for game time then go back to fight for his place. 

 

Of course, the league Everton are playing in next season will have a part to play in all that...

Maybe. Catch 22 in some ways. We got Baningime relatively cheap as he wasn’t playing for them and only had a year left on his deal. With 2 1/2 years left and an appearance against Chelsea this season it’s unlikely he’d go for cheap. And of course if he plays well enough for us that we want to keep him then those performances will likely have raised his price.

According to the Athletic, he is already in Edinburgh and having his medical

Assuming Ogashiwa is still in Japan, would it still be feasible to sign him before the end of the month? I.e.

Do players have to physically sign a contract in person? 

Could we sign and register a player "subject to a medical"?

Hokkaido (the city where I presume he is based) isn't even in mainland Japan!  Has anyone worked out which flights he'd need to catch to make it here by Monday!

EPL clubs rarely give these laddies a chance, it's tough for them to break into the side but great for us as we can give them an opportunity here and they have sell on value.
