Josh Doig enjoyed a successful stint at Hellas Verona and is ready for Ligue 1 move
Nick Montgomery has been optimistic that he can leave his mark on the Hibs team by bringing in young, talented players to help in the second half of the season now that the January transfer window is open.
Hibs, who have so far struggled with squad depth this 2023–24 season, will play Rangers, Kilmarnock, St. Mirren, and Celtic in the course of a month following the winter break. Although the Hibs manager acknowledged the possibility of loan agreements, he was also quick to acknowledge that any plans the former Central Coast Mariners manager may have had were thwarted by a lack of funding at Easter Road.
There is one transfer move, though, that might offer hope in the otherwise hopeless situation. Josh Doig, a former Hibs player, is currently expected to join Marseille in Ligue 1, having reportedly agreed to pay over £4 million for the defender from Hellas Verona. Hibs’ sell-on clause will pay them over £1 million once this deal is signed.
Although this number won’t drastically alter the Hibees’ way of life, it might be helpful as Monty looks to bolster and bolster his team in preparation for a difficult stretch of games.
While he is full of hope and anticipation for that big sum of money, Monty told the press in Dubai that he is not holding his breath: “It’s hard for me to comment on anything like that until it actually happens.”
This week, I’ll be talking to Ian Gordon and Brian McDermott, and they both seem optimistic that it will proceed. I’m not sure if that will significantly alter during this window.
“I am aware that the club made investments in the signings they made during the previous window during the off-season. If that occurs, I’ll probably give Ian a call to ask him to add a few more pounds to the budget. I’m not sure what the specifics are or if it all becomes clear at once. However, it’s great news for Josh and the club.
“We want to return to being a team that produces young players and sends them abroad because the transfer can only benefit us in the long run. It also demonstrates how attending Hibs can provide players with a legitimate platform to achieve greatness, which would enable us to reinvest.
