Rumour.

ologna, 5 April 2023 – What if after Hickey and Ferguson a new unknown talent arrives from Scotland? It is still early to have certainties, but from the British country bounce several names of players who play in the Scottish premier approached to the rossoblù: for contacts or presence of the scouts of Casteldebole to observe those directly concerned.

The last one leads to Josh Campbell, a new talent from the land of Ermione: he is a midfielder born in 2000, who has yet to turn 23, who this year has already collected 9 goals and 5 assists, owned by Hibernian, who made his debut in the under 21, but not yet in the senior national team. Numbers and path similar to that of Lewis Ferguson, who last season totaled 16 goals and an assist with Aberdeen, only to land in rossoblù. In Bologna the thread of Scotland is fashionable.



After Hickey, who earned 16 million plus 4 million in bonuses against an expense of 1.8 million invested to snatch him from the Hearts of Midlothian, here is Lewis Ferguson. The midfielder arrived for 3.5 million, with a contract of 250 thousand euros net and already has Lazio and Milan on his heels.



"But I see myself in Bologna for at least another two years," said the midfielder, who to date has scored 5 goals: as many as Hickey, his compatriot, then flew to the promised land of the Premier League, at Brentford. Hickey and Ferguson: guaranteed return and capital gains. The direct line with Scotland opened by Riccardo Bigon continued with Giovanni Sartori, who last summer, was long fought: Ferguson or Doig?



Yes, because the Scots in the sights of the head of the technical area were two, but from Brexit onwards the British are worth as much as the non-EU citizens and more than two can not be bought. Except that Lucumì was the number one goal to replace the starter Theate. The choice fell on Ferguson, torn from Lecce. But Doig remained targeted, chased even in January. And he will also be chased in the summer, unless Kyriakopoulos' ransom arrives. Ferguson is a market man who does not want to sell in Bologna: if anything, retouching and extending the contract is the goal. But Medel is expiring and Dominguez a question mark related to the extension of the contract, then Josh Campbell could become a real target, especially if Dominguez does not renew.

2 million is being quoted goes to Hibs if the deal goes through.

We won't get 2 million from the sell on?
I think they're still due us 1million, and we'd get 500ish thousand from the profit %age.
With more to come down the line when he transfers again.

Annoyingly, I think Hearts get about 2% of the fee because he was a youth there.

We will get 27.5% of the profit plus the amount of the original fee still owed to us.
The sell on will give us nowhere near £2 million extra.
If Verona make €3 million on the transfer we will get 27.5% of that which would be €825k

Weren’t we due a payment from Verona?

See above.
 
Weren’t we due a payment from Verona?
We will still be due part of the original fee given the fee is almost never paid in a oner.
However, I would never add such an installment in with the sell on fee given it is not extra money.

Regardless, the payment is due to Hibs and we have a decent sell on fee. With both payments we are looking at over 2 million, is not that right?

The original fee installments will already be budgeted for.
The only additional and unbudgetted money coming to Hibs from a transfer would be the circa 27.5% of profit sell on fee.

Did Hibs get the full transfer fee up front from Verona?
 
Anyone been told that we are trying to hijack the deal for the boy the Gunts are trying to sign from Jason Cummings old team.

A host of Serie A clubs are now chasing £5million-rated Scottish kid Josh Doig.

The 21-year-old former Hibs youth is currently at Verona after moving from Easter Road last summer. But after his debut season in Italy, several top-flight sides are chasing him. Bologna and Torino have concrete interest and are currently negotiating with Verona over a summer transfer. But MailSport understands that Fiorentina and Monza are now also monitoring the left-back’s situation as they weigh up bids of their own.


Also, although it’s less likely, Italian giants AC Milan enquired about Doig’s availability towards the end of last season before technical director – and club legend – Paolo Maldini left the San Siro in June. The Scotland Under-21 star made 22 appearances for Verona in Serie A last season, scoring twice against Udinese and Sampdoria If he makes the move to Bologna, Doig will hook up with fellow Scot Lewis Ferguson at the Renato Dal-Arra Stadium.

Looking good for us, hopefully get even more cash out of it
 
Hibs should send Danny Drinkwater an invite to come and train with a view to a contract. Not played in a good while but nothing to lose taking a look. Aged 33 and a decent player in the past.

Bit random.

He's been out the game for over a year I think. What made you think of him?
 
It'd be a real smack in the puss for them if it was us.

Can't wait for them complaining about us spending money.

I think by the end of the window and including the Youan fee, it'll be quite shocking how much we've spent.
Just hope and pray its well spent 🙏
 
Hopefully now that the Doig deal is near completion, it would be good to see a few permanent deals done before the Team head out to Spain.

Lotsa games under his belt, attacking mid.
Few goals, few assists.

The spreadsheet says he's above average technically, good on the ball and a passer. Goes forward.
No aggression or jumping ability. Poor decision maker, not one to join in defensively.
