I know mate ..... But in all honesty its the situation we are possibly facing.

Could be but our younger players are looking to be a cut above at the moment and look what we did the last time with fresh legs and a few shrewd experienced heads?

If Allan stands out between now and the end of the season there will be interest in him from elsewhere and there will definitely be interest in Christie from a number of clubs if Celtic show any willingness to let him go. You would need either or both to agree to any swap deal for McGinn and once again wages would be the stumbling block .... Allan has a history of following the money and Christie would attract interest from a good number of clubs who can pay more than us.

If we get to the stage where we need to replace McGinn, McGeouch and Allan we are going to need to think out of the box ... in fact when you look at it come the summer we could be looking for practically a whole new team.

Ambrose ..... could well attract interest from clubs with more money than us.
Gray ..... has a shocking injury, no guarantee he will be fit for next season.
Whittaker .... hasn't proved to be the player we thought we were getting and nobody can deny it.
McGinn .... IMO he will be hugely disappointed if an offer doesn't come in from a decent club, he would see another two or three years at ER as his career stagnating.
McGeouch .... seems to be stalling over his new contract and Aberdeen seem interested, especially given McLean and Christie might not be there next year.
Allan .... As I said, it would take a change in mindset from him to sign on at Hibs permanently.
Barker .... Man City may well be looking to loan him to a championship club or even abroad ... its unusual for a player to spend two seasons on loan at one club.
McLaren .... Will almost certainly return to Germany, or look for a bigger club .... though he needs to start scoring for us soon if he wants to make the Aussie WC squad.
Kamberi .... doing so well I can see him returning to Switzerland and getting another go at his parent club.

It could be a long summer ... sigh

No bother we're taking Debruyne and Aguero next season

Did he not sign a 4 year deal at Celtc, think he still has 2 years left.

Yea you're right .

This is his third season Silv and only has another one left.

2015/6 we won the cup, 2016/7 we won the first division and were now well through his third season.

I think Allan and Christie may be part of the McGinn deal.

That would be an astonishing piece of business. Does Christie not have a few years left on his contact? Celtic seem to rate him.

I wouldn't be surprised if Scott Allan went to Rangers. Still the team he supports after all.

I'd be surprised after the hatred aimed towards him by the orks. He loved our latest win in Govan.

[GreenOnions]

If we can persuade Scott Allan to sign a permanent contract with us in the summer that would be fantastic for us.

If we can keep McGinn and McGeouch even better. However, we have Slivka and Fraser Murray waiting in the wings already as well as big Marv for more defensive duties.

Should we sign Scott permanently but lose one or both of McGinn / Mcgeouch then it will soften the blow of losing any players and make it much easier for NL to ensure our midfield is still strong next season.

[The Green Goblin]

Celtic can have SJM for Leigh, Brown and Allan.

Yeah, I know. I'm just messing. I think SJM leaving is inevitable, but would love him to stay, obviously.

2015/6 we won the cup, 2016/7 we won the first division and were now well through his third season.

Time has flown in since we won the cup, so possibly a year to go this summer, the worry is if he has a good half season with Hibs that it may alert clubs down south to take a chance on him and pay the wages he might be looking for, he won't go to the Rangers as Celtc would never sell to them, it's okay for Rodgers to say these things but Celtc will want a decent fee for him and Rodgers may not be the manager at Celtc after this summer and a new manager might want to give SA a chance.

[keep the faith]

If Celtic are willing to do a deal then we should be doing it right now.
Allan will attract more and more attention as the season goes on and we have the guarantee that he fits our club.
Come on hibs, now that would definitely get the season ticket sales moving.

[Lancs Harp]

Can we pay the wages hes likely to want? Must be earning a few quid on his Celtic contract.

[Aldo]

I think if Moyes is still the manager of WHU come the summer then a bid for SJM will come in from them.

[offshorehibby]

Apart form being a promising youngster at DU he's played his best football at Hibs, he's bombed every other place he's been. He needs to think of a bit stability, stick with Hibs continue playing good football in a good team and maybe start knocking on the door of the Scotland team. Or he could disappear back down south totally bomb again and watch his career head on a downward spiral.

Lennon says we should enjoy this midfield while they are here. Dylan keeping his options open. McGinn only got a year left. Allan coming permanently could be out of the question due to affordability.

I'm hearing 150k is the sweetener...

If he was to go to Rangers he won’t come to us permanent after Celtic and would he risk playing for a lower side just in case? I actually think he will sign a long term deal with us and screw the nut. This story has many twists and turns to come.

That’s my thoughts, Chat about Allan and Christie coming in as part of a deal for SJM, Both of them will likely earn twice what SJM earns a week

John goes to Celtic Celtic partially pay some of Scott’s final years wage(with a pay off on understanding he comes to us) will get them a top player us a player we should be desperate to keep and get him partially off celtics wage bill.

I don't think Brendan Rogers mentioned us, just Scott Allan.
