Are the both lying? Or do you think it’s some sort of elaborate subterfuge to con the football world? Plain digestives, not chocolate ones, only washing towels every other day and went back to Sky, and got a discount, cutbacks eh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We shouldn't really need to spend money, but it'll be great if we do have some... We just need to do our homework on them and not just sign guys because they're a certain build or because they have a certain reputation. Agreed, it should only be in exceptional circumstances that we pay fees. There are hundreds of players out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a pain when threads descend into punfests tbh, some people think it's fine, fair enough, their choice I suppose.

Kiwidoug Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Very pleased neilson has come out with a statement at last. Clearly a response to my concerns. I now know the position regarding Ginnelly and just hope that other clubs aren't hovering. Also this thread has given me a real insight into the goings- on at parkhead and Easter road. My only take on that is that if I was offered Ginnelly or Griffiths, I'd take Ginnelly every day of the week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even A half arsed Griffiths would be worth between 40-60 goals to them over the next 3 seasons. A signing that was always going to happen, unfortunately. Selling Nisbet and getting Griffiths means at least short term they are no worse off on the park. I don't rate Nisbet at all, so I'd say they'll be better for it, Griffiths gambling or not is twice the player imo. Griffiths if he had any sense ( which I don’t think he has) should get his arse out of Scotland. As a Celtic player he could still get a transfer to a championship team earning £10-15000 a week for the next 3 years. The guy is a good striker just needs the right environment/manager to get the best out of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course we would all love to know what the club has at their disposal, but if AB came out saying "aye we've got a million to spend on new players" then that £200k fee for player X suddenly becomes a £300k fee when the seller learns we've got money. That then has a knock-on effect on other transfers because that additional £100k its cost us for player X means we can no longer pay player Y a competitive enough wage and we lose out. Plus always a chance of being gazumped. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he goes to Hibs nap to be done for drink driving or getting in a fight in Morrison’s I would agree, he is a decent striker but he is not as prolific as people think. I was looking at his stats at Celtic, he has not hit 10 league goals in a season since he got 12 in 20016/17 season. Last season alone he only scored 7 goals in all competitions (in 24 games.) He is no longer at his peak (which was 2015/16 season when he scored 40 goals in 51 games.) He will get goals at whichever club he goes to but he is not the player that he was at Hibs.

David Black Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 Griffiths going to Hibs will weaken them. He'll get off to a good start and then his mental issues will rear their heads again and that's him for the rest of the season, only then they do not have Nesbitt. Griffiths falls into the Riorden and O'Connor category, thick as a brick and he'll end up the same way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
