"Super" John McGinn

Surely there's not a chance in hell of Scott Allan taking a £250k hit on his yearly salary (seeing it cut by around 60%?). I'd imagine that would be getting paid up in full by Celtic, so if he has another 2 years left on his deal, that's another £500k, so I'd guess that's why Celtic aren't going near the £3m mark.

 

They'd already effectively be coughing up £2.7m plus Scott Allan in that deal above,

 

Exactly the issue. From both Celtic and Allan. He goes to hibs and loses a fortune. Celtic loan him and pay for McGinn and they're paying way over the odds. And if Hibs don't buy him within a year he's worth nothing to Celtic.

[jacklivi1874]

Doesny really matter what the Hobos get but celtic paying whats being  reported is quite  incredible 

[Bighenry]

Celtic and hibs would be as well wearing half n half strips. Since Celtic won them the cup for them it’s become the norm for hibs to borrow a few players per season. Lennon is still as Celtic as they come. It’s Even more likely at the moment ,given the fact he’s back at darkheid at drop of a hat. Even when hibs are playing.

****ing embarrassing how much sooking up to celtic, hibs do. 

 

If Hearts every done that to any of the arse cheeks. I would honestly jack it in. 

 

Embarrassing, sickening, just a mentality I can't relate to. 

 

Celtic are treating them like a b team.

Much bigger and better than Hibs in every aspect.  McGinn stays or goes we will still be better next season regardless. 

[chester copperpot]

The fee is not the issue. 

 

Lennon wants a couple of players, not one, and needs Celtic to subsidise majorly (if on loan)

 

The fee is nowhere near 2m btw. That is all I am saying on this.

Aye, but hibs are meant to be one of the bigger clubs in this country, it's like spurs  beibg6 pally with man utd or some sort. 

I find it strange, especially as allot of hibs fans hate the Glasgow two, although like us an element does suck up to an arse cheek, I can't even imagine Budge or Craig contemplating a special relationship with rangers.

Just read that he's tremendously good pals with Scott Brown.  Was just about to vomit when I realised that at some juncture, the two of them must have had an in depth discussion about how comprehensively Harry Cochrane ripped the absolute pish out of them.

If Hibs play him tonight then nothing will happen till January. Celtic will sit tight and sign him on a pre contact then.  McGinn is desperate to sign for Celtic and one way or another that's where he will land up. I hope Lennon and co shoot themselves in the foot with this and screw over St Mirren at the same time. 

[wanderer]

Lennon admits in the EEN today that the ONLY "concrete" offer has come from Celtic. So there are no rival bidders for a player in the last year of his contract...really surprising, especially with the paltry fee of £4 million being quoted for such a quality player...

I noticed this also....

 

Murray’s departure will undoubtedly raise speculation that Australian striker Jamie Maclaren, who is determined to leave his German club Darmstadt despite having two years left on his contract, may return. However, Lennon insisted he wouldn’t comment on players under contract elsewhere. But he did say: “We have four or five options we are trying to pursue and we want to try to get some business done as quickly as possible but a lot will depend on John McGinn’s situation as well in terms of how much money – if any – we have to spend on players going forward.”

 

So after Hayley Croppers posturing at the end of the season about player budgets, the reality is that was based on selling McGinn. So Celtic now know they need the McGinn cash to buy players, clever stuff from the former Celtic manager there, handing all the power to Celtic!

The talk is he has handed in a transfer request...So, that really leaves Hibs between a rock and a hard place. Keep a player who now publicly wants to leave and can sign a pre-contract in 6 months OR accept the terms Celtic offer. It would appear this bumping up of McGinn's value has backfired a bit because Celtic seem to be the only serious bidders. Without a counter bid, his value is what Celtic are prepared to offer. I love watching them coming back down to earth. No McLaren, No McGeough, No Barker, McGinn off. Enjoy your rebuild Lenny. Leaving it a bit late though.

As an aside, was having this conversation at work regarding this point, it seems whenever Celtic or Rangers for that matter are interested in any Scottish talent, there never seems to be a bidding war, ie we were told six months ago clubs were all over McGinn , where have they gone.

This is not a recent phenomenon either it was the same with McCann Paul Ritchie, Alan McLaren Lee Wallace and David Templeton, lots of talent, but only the old firm showed any interest.

Why when it was obvious all had the potential to play above the old firm

Didn't they spunk cash on the other striker? Any idea of fee?

I had heard it was roughly £300,000. Very surprised if McLaren comes back without a decent fee. 2 years left at Darmstat and they have said they want to keep him for the following season.

He's also said McGinn will play tonight. If he does he can't play for Celtic in the CL qualifiers. IMO that devalues McGinn again, Celtic have Rosenborg next up you'd think McGinn would be in that squad. If he can't play Celtic don't need to buy him until the end of the window or sit tight until January.

[Howdy Doody Jambo]

Celtic would be mad to fork a big fee now when they could get him for a few hundred grand in January 

Celtic Hobs and St Mirren are all tight together so probably a few players being exchanged between them, no need to pay the tax man in splashing cash

It may also indicate how much Celtic actually want the player and how important he is to there plans that they won’t be an extra amount to secure his services now with important and hectic schedule coming up.  If I was the laddie I would sit tight until Jan and PCA it down South. 

[Mikey1874]

McGinn will start as a squad player. Missing a few Champions League qualifiers is no big deal.

 

Might go after Hibs get knocked out.

i think we already know the answer to that, they'll take him when the price is right. McGinn might well go down south but the way things are panning out there's no bidding war about to happen.

Loans rather than sales are a better indication of their close relationship. Who have we loaned from them in the past decade or from Sevco for that matter.

It is not even quid pro quo as it is pretty much only Hibs who benefit, just one wee club pathetically getting the begging bowl out to the big bully in the playground to help them out.  Ambrose is class example.  Celtic have their back.

That was low it narrowly beats the 3 way transfer or loans between Murray Bain and Allen. 

[luckydug]

I think the point people are making is the loan players Hibs have had from Celtic .

It's doubtful if they would have won the cup without the help of the Celtic loan players imo.
