I think that Lennon is letting Celtic know that if they want McGinn for the qualifiers they’ll need to get everything agreed before tomorrow night.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

I really do not know how much Rodgers wants SJM. I think he believes any good players in league they should be buying even if not certain where will play.
I really think they want him for the sake of it tbh. Now we have knocked them back they will not want to look like not getting who they want and will try again even if need him or not.
I wonder if the bids indicate Rodgers has other irons in fire who will require a larger fee and does not want to much of the budget used on SJM as not really sure about him, almost yeah he is OK for about £2m I can justify not playing him every week for that.Last edited by Captain Trips; 18-07-2018 at 06:10 PM.

You really think Celtic will spend over £2m for a player that Rogers doesn’t rate just to save face?
That’s wired to the moon mental!
Back in in the real world the grown ups are haggling over a price. Happens in pretty much every transfer everywhere I’d imagine.

I've a feeling that Celtic will make a bid that the club accept prior to tomorrow's game and McGinn won't play or be cup tied for their Champions League qualifiers.

I know he got injured but I could not see where Johnny Hayes was going to play but they could sign him relatively cheap for them and weaken opposition and for the fee easy enough to bench.Last edited by Captain Trips; 18-07-2018 at 06:17 PM.

Sorry if this has been posted before, big old thread. Hibs are obviously holding out for tje right deal for SJM, and rightly so, but would he be a first team pick for celtic every week with him being 'scott browns replacement'? Im not doubting he could get into the team, he would breeze it, but would he play alongside brown or not, and if so, would it be a bad move in the sence that he would loose regular game time and that match sharpness? If this was the case then would it be in the interest of both clubs to have a deal go ahead, he becomes a celtic player but remains on loan to us for the season, playing europe and first team football week in week out? Or do you reckon he would get 1st team football every week over in the west?

Plenty players get signed then barely start at their new club, Rherras for example.
My point is that I doubt any manager at a club buys a player just to save face. Apart from Rangers maybe!

I'm not convinced that Rodgers rates him as highly on spending a lot on him. My opinion of course.

Hard to take for me that one of our best players in recent times cup winning legend is subject and again IMO of a meh type transfer to Celtic.

There's a weird paranoia that Celtic are obsessively looking at the club's just below them in some kind of fear.
At this point Celtic can buy quality players that are way outwith the budget of any other team if they at any point felt threatened.
They know the market here and realise there is good value either for depth of squad, selling on for a profit or makeweights in deals to sign other players in Scotland they think offer value.
I don't like it and the effect (weakening the opposition) is the the same but the idea that they systematically sign players solely to weaken the opposition doesn't really fly for me - they know they'll win the league next season and even Hibs taking say 2 wins and a draw off them in the league won't change that.

In view of tonight's game, I can't see any breaking news today regarding John's future. The frustrating silence will linger on.

Celtc don't need to buy players to weaken the opposition. They're mile's ahead of everyone already.
They buy players who will improve/ maintain their team.
They're not going to pay £2m to us, and £10k a week to John McGinn to weaken us.
McGinn wants a big move and Hibs want to sell. If Celtc offer the highest transfer fee, they're actually financially strengthening us compared to the other interested parties.
Nottingham Forest offered a low amount in January for him, for example. Reports suggested John was disappointed not to get his move then.
That's a bit of a rambling post, but I hope my points are understandable.

They have just lost Armstrong who before his injury was a regular for them and a very good player, John will take his place in the squad and he'll have to be ready not to start every match which he does here. He wanted a move south and was upset nothing more came of the Nottingham F bid in January, he understood it wasn't enough for the club. Obviously after speaking to his friends and family he's decided to stay in Scotland to further his career, he's involved in the Scotland set up so didn't need to move south for that and Celtic will be a good platform for him, unfortunately it means h'll play against us regularly.
Celtic don't buy players to weaken others, it's just they're the only ones up here who can afford to buy them, players see a move west as a good move, regular winning stuff and stay close to family and friends.

I understand that, I just don't want him playing against us as he's been the heartbeat of this team for the past 3 years, I know Celtic are ahead of everyone and we'll be fighting for 2nd-4th spot again, just prefer him to go south that's all.

There will be pressure on Celtic to pay the money as well. Hibs need to hold firm.
