At no time did Hibs ever state they wouldn't sell players.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Every club in the world sells players and Hibs are no different.
A better debate would be how much of the sale will be reinvested in the team.

Hibs do NOT - and rightly so - let contracts run down when a player has significant sales value.
I would be unimpressed if we didn't "cash in" (as before with Riordan, Caldwell, IM etc). Lessons have been learned.

Just hope Hibs don't have their heads buried in the sand with their fingers crossed that the SJM transfer pressure disappears. They need to be out there lining up a couple of high quality replacements for JC and JM, and prepared to pay good money for them too.

Looking back, it makes getting 4.4 for Brown a great deal. Can't imagine we'll see a Hibs player going for that much again for a very, very long time.

"Neither Strachan (initially) nor Collins (bar the fact that he pissed off the players to the point they wanted out) were involved ; Sir Rod understood this and in a case of either you're out or you're in ended up joining in the circle-jerk with the agent, permatan Jackson, and Celtic, to make sure at least Hibs would get the best deal."
That's not quite how I remember it. I remember Collins being instrumental in talking up the value of both players and playing an important role in the prices we eventually sold them for. It's conjecture on my part but without Collins I'd not have been surprised if Rod had sold them for cheaper, while still good money, if Collins hadn't publically called out their real market value.Last edited by The Modfather; 28-06-2017 at 04:30 PM.

[QUOTE=truehibernian;5083781]I'll go out on a limb and say that this time next week we will have 1) a young prospect 2) a player who desperately needs games but has real talent and 3) a very experienced and versatile ex player
I like the optimism. I think those players should be Hendo, Ciftci and Whittaker if financially viable! It would give all three guys a great opportunity to get their respective careers back on track.
With a mill to work with these deals could hopefully be negotiated..
If SJM goes as well and the budget increases even further I don't see why GMS Is out of the realms of possibility.
promote Scott Martin to a more prominent role and develop him look at getting cover for Mcgeough and we would be top 4 contenders.
Speculative yes - Impossible no.
Regardless - In Leanne we Trust.

We need much more than just Ciftci up front. Two forwards should be the minimum brought in and probably more like three needed if honest.
Our squad needs 5-6 players brought in as it's much much weaker than last season's. Selling McGinn would be madness.

Lots of options, certainly no madness in selling him - especially if it's a win/win for the club. I think we will sell him, however I also think we will spend/deal very wisely from it.

Ipswich Town have just signed another central midfielder Emyr Huws, so that might be them dropping their interest in McGinn

I've always found it hard to imagine that Celtic would be interested in McGinn anyway, but surely the signing of this guy makes any move less likely:

I supposed the flipside could be Ipswich following up their supposed interest.
