Can’t see Celtic letting Allan go to Hibs if McGinn goes to Villa. Purely out of spite.

Absolutely, i think he is a great player. I am very pleased McGeough is away and will be delighted if McGinn goes south as it will spoil their special relationship with Celtic.

I agree, i thought Mcgeough was better, i am glad he is gona and mcginn is on the verge of it. 

 

Not sure who they could bring in that would make as much an impact as they two did, cant see mallan being as influential

I think he's a decent player who is young so still has potential and that is factored into the fee. £4m is absolutely nothing, Burnley are signing Ben Gibson on promise shown for £15m. Contract remaining means nothing to managers operating in a league where the average tenure is around 18 months - they just want the player and will pay the fee. I think it's difficult to quantify what value is to be honest.

To be fair to him he has shown character producing for Hibs in Europe while all this is going on.

Can see him knocking Villa back, he really only has a very short time to wait before he gets his move to Celtic.

He is bang average and he will do **** all at a club like Celtic or Villa. His next move after the next one is to a lower level than Hibs... or back to Hibs. Anyone who doesn’t recognise what is happening here for a bang average player with months left on his contract before being able to sign a PCA, clearly walks about reading HITC and The Sun online.

It won’t weaken Hibs in the slightest. If he goes for the Celtic-inflated unicorn price that Villa seem to have been duped in to paying, then this is what happens next:

 

McGinn gets splinters and woodworm in his extraordinary posterior.

 

Hibs get over a million to spend on improving their squad.

 

Villa/Celtic get a far worse player than some of the decent players they have had sitting on their bench/stand recently.

 

Astonished at the lack of understanding regarding this. He’s not very good and available for nothing in a few months time. ?

It's not a lack of understanding, it's a simple difference of opinion on a player. A team in Scotland is selling a player who is an international, was nominated for player of the year and who led his team to their highest league position for years. They should get the most they can for that player.

When he's played against us he has not been brilliant but he has been consistently the stand out in their team. I'm intrigued to know how you form an informed opinion on a player unless you are watching him most weeks.

Paterson, McGeouch, Cochrane, Armstrong and Henderson.

Agreed 

 

But within his current club at this present time 

 

He's their best player and weakens them 

 

That'll do for me

Mid Celtic had not pretended to want John McGinn, then how much do you think Hibs would manage to get for him? With a year left on his contract and the fact he isn’t actually very good?

He doesn’t weaken them if they get anything even approaching a million pound to spend on replacements.

Celtic were interested, they bid for him and Rogers confirmed that in a press conference. I think you are overestimating the year on the contract element. Rogers can wait as he knows he's locked in at Parkhead but Bruce is fighting for his job after the Henry rumours so will be keen to acquire players.

Probably only for a set amount of time. How long ago was the deal done now? Quite a few years?

I don’t believe Celtic we’re ever REALLY interested, at least not as anything other than a cheap acquisition for the odd league game, and they ain’t going to spend upwards towards £2m on that.

 

What they have done however by making pre-arranged fake bids, is to dupe Villa or whoever else in to paying inflated Celtic sale prices as opposed to the sort of price Hibs could manage.

Sneeky suspicion this will be an undisclosed fee to keep the Hibs faithfull in check 

 

Expect 1 or 2 budget incomings from England 

 

The rest going to st midden and Farmers pockets

That is clearly nonsense. Rodgers was speaking about it today and the subtext to his comments looks more like a pop at his own board for not closing the deal.

But he's clearly only saying this as its part of a wider plot to inflate his value.

Have you watched John McGinn playing football?  You hand on heart see him as being worth anything close to £2m and commanding a starting place at Celtic? ?

I think I answered this in an earlier point, only against us and on TV, which is imo not enough to know how good he is. 

Are you watching him every week and have a more informed opinion?

Seen him playing for years. Mainly against us but also on highlights etc. 

 

He’s insanely overrated. Mainly by the fake Celtic interest.

Yes.

 

 

Behave Bez 

 

1.3 million to st midden 

 

Leaves 2.7m.

 

500k to Farmer 

 

Leaves 2.2m 

 

400k for Mclaren once loan ends 

 

Theres 1.8m and you think Rod will give Lennon 1 million pounds for players 

 

Its absolutely no happening

 

And that's assuming they pay 4 mill when they know Celtic offered 2 million

 

He'll go for 2.5 - 3 million or undisclosed 

 

They'll go buy someone for 200k and that'll be it

Their best player was McGeouch. 

 

By some distance. 

 

After that I'm undecided between Kamberi and McGinn but Kamberi looks a real find.

 

Either way though losing McGinn and McGeouch in midfield will be a massive blow to them.

I fear I am being trolled here! 

Supply and demand creates price so simple economics drive market value. Celtic have confirmed they have bid for the player so in what manner could that be construed as fake?

McGinn gets 10% of any fee too I believe (having not submitted a transfer request).

 

Always thought McGeoch caused us more trouble than McGinn, but happy to see Hibs weakened and the player to end up in England would be preferable.
