Hibs fans have been signing up to HSL for close on 5 months now!

Spot on, it's much easier to sign the players we want if we sign up or get a season ticket!

Its not really failed though has it? In 2010 they got £10m for McGeady, in 2012 it was £6.5m for Ki Seung Yeung, 2013 it was £12.5m for Wanyama, 2014 it was £10m for their keeper Forster and this year it'll be the best part of about £8m for Van Dijk

they have wasted a shed lot of cash on crap projects but I think their blueprint is to make one big sale per year and apart from 2011 they've been pretty consistent

I think we're in violent agreement here. My point is Celtc now need a significant player sale each year to avoid trading at a loss. In that regard they're really no different to our ( or many other Scottish clubs ) model, albeit they're operating at a higher level with better players & guaranteed European football each year. They definitely speculate to accumulate on these transfers, I think Ki & Forster both cost around £2m but the other 5 huddies I originally mentioned cost at least £10m & that is pretty much lost money. I believe their a/c's this year will be horrendous unless they can flog Van Dijk off quickly.

Dylan's not even in Celtic's 23 man squad for tonight's friendly game

There is no chance that he will play for Celtic. At the end of the window, Celtic will have a decision to make on whether to keep paying him or let him go for free. I doubt anyone will pay a fee.
We might get him then unless we have already used our budget by then.

Seems crazy that they offered him a contract, if they'll let him go for free. Wonder if he'll be a bargaining chip for Cifti's move to Celtic

Possibly, but they have to get Dylan to agree as well.

A bit of a tenuous link but apparently Aiden McGeady has handed in a transfer request and wants to return to Celtic. Second part probably nonsense but if it happens would push Dylan further out the picture.

100%

It's the last day of ST plan and I would sincerely hope that fans that can't buy a ST for whatever reason, would seriously consider buying into, HSL.

We have all seen first hand the benefits it brings. If not for today, then for the future of Hibernian FC.

You know you want too http://www.hiberniansupporters.co.uk/donate.html

Exactly, if Dylan so wished he could just knock back every offer and Celtic would have wasted a years salary for no return.

I doubt he was ever in the picture. I very much doubt that Dylan will be at Celtic by the end of the Window. An agreement will be reached and he will move on. Whether it's to us or not remains to be seen.

Been offered to Dundee Utd in part-exchange for Ciftci apparently

Will be up to Dylan whether he wants to go there though. I would hope that we will be above Utd in the next couple of years.

We'd pump them if we played them just now and that's without the six signings we still need to make.

He'd be daft to go there but a pay-off from Celtic as well as a starting XI place in the Premiership every week may seal the deal.

Celtic had the option to extend even if it was completely against Dylans wishes. Clause in his contract.

Technically, but the reality is he could have turned it down which would normally result in a financial penalty which he could pay or get another club to pay it if he wanted to move there.

Yes but they can't make him sign for Dundee Utd or anyone else if he does not want to.

Good game in a blue moon. End up at Partick or Weedgie area.

[Nutmegged]

Dundee Utd isn't the death sentence some on here would like to have people believe, they've had their best team this century decimated in the past year but they've also started rebuilding with some exciting young talent too...if McNamara can keep that job I expect a big Season from Soutar, Telfer, Muirhead and Blair Spittal, McGeouch would be a good fit there but obviously I'd prefer him to come here

Not a chance. We're not near that level yet. We'd be a bottom six team and would need a good 7-8 players to make a play for top six.

I think we would beat them if we played them. Obviously we would need additional players to compete at the top end of the SPL but that wasn't that point?

7-8 players? So you reckon only 3 of our players are good enough for the top six of the SPL?

Which 7 or 8 aren't? Just out of curiosity

Pretty much all the players that would be our first 11 would make it in to an spl team. We've got options up front but no depth beyond that. I also think we need a good number of players as things stand. And that's just to get us out the championship.

That is as things stand right now, not necessarily how we will be at the end of August.

Agreed The frustrating thing just now is that I've no doubt in my mind that we would easily competing top 4 in SPL.

If you think of the players/set-up we have in the Championship then imagine what we will be like in the SPL.

Good things come to those who wait. For me, we are simply re-grouping. In the medium - long term, we will benefit from this stage in our history

So does that mean he may end up at Celtic? I'd be astonished if he ended up there....
