I think I know what you are suggesting and I agree. If Celtic can strengthen the teams who will be challenging the Rangers then I am sure they will be quite accommodating when it comes down to the wire.

Why would they be unsuccessful? They can sign him in January - given this we will want the sale IMHO.

I expect SJM to Cellic, Allan, cash and maybe a loanee in return .. and soonish

A more tempting bid ( for us and McGinn ) might come from elsewhere.

I’d rather he didn’t go anywhere near Parkhead
Allan is surplus to requirements at Celtic anyway, they’ll be wanting him off the wage bill sooner rather than later

**1van Sprou7e** · 15-06-2018 07:46 AM

I'd like to think that us signing Allan is independent of McGinn going the other way

Seen some Celtic fans saying they are fairly certain of Allan being at ER next season

Any names outside the ones we all know doing the rounds.

Why would you like to think that?
Shouldn’t be selling our key player to one of our rivals for trophies

That’s what he is saying.

If Celtic rate Allan then he wouldn’t be going out on loan to Dundee or Hibs. He’s surplus to requirements and I’m sure we do the business regardless of McGinn going anywhere.

Personally, not convinced Celtic are interested in McGinn. Their fans are not fans of SJM for sure, going by what I read on my odd foray onto Kerrydale St.

Presumably he's suggesting that there isn't necessarily a link between McGinn to Celtic and Allan to Hibs.
If both happen it's likely to be part of the same deal but equally one or both may not happen.

Personally think Allan is the key signing we should be looking at this window.

I'm inclined to agree.
Not saying he definitely won't end up there but it's certainly not the dream match for both McGinn/Celtic that some seem to think.

I reckon he'll try his hand down South and Celtic are more interested in other targets.

McGinn’s a smart lad and he will know that the rewards for establishing himself down south are much greater than doing it at Celtic.

When you consider that guys like Dorrans, Arfield Morrison, Adam and McArthur have all had good careers and played afair bit of football in the EPL, you would have to say that McGinn has a decent chance. If he has to go then I would much prefer he went outside Scotland.

I reckon there might be 'out of the blue' signings like Kamberi and Maclaren in January. Lennon will have his scouts far and wide.

***Stevie Reid*** · 15-06-2018 10:17 AM

If our chances of getting Allan rely purely on McGinn going to Celtic (and like others, I'm sceptical as to whether that's the case), then I hope he goes.

Allan is so crucial for us. Now that Kamberi has been secured, SA is all that matters for me. Mallan would be a lovely bonus, but Scott is the key.

Sure we were linked with him last summer as well.

(I know this is quite a leap from that) I would've been delighted had we got him last year, but he was really poor at Aberdeen.

Am sure he's the sort that Lennon could get the best out of, mind you. Probably easier to get a decent deal for him on the back of a poor season also.

Could well have been. Was at the airport yesterday morning heading to Birmingham so there could be a whole number of reasons why he was here tbh

I have a feeling Hearts may be after him. If they have any money left.

They have Dross left Thsts what most of their signings are Am far happier with the quality of player we are being linked to and Lennon will have a surprise or two up his sleeve when all the pieces of the jigsaw eventually fall into place

I don’t think there is any interest from Hibs at all.

I had a feeling that NL although JC was the best we had at time that he didnt rate him as highly as others.

***PatHead*** · 15-06-2018 11:35 AM

Where are the signings? Well into the window, training on Monday and still no sign of Stevie Mallen. Wish that guy still hid in the bushes at East Mains, he may have seen something to report back.
