I think Celtic's board are just one bad Euro result away from a fans backlash though.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
£7m in for Armstrong yet seemingly penny pinching over a replacement. It's not a good look.
Saw Ntcham was involved in a car accident last night (though seems like no-one seriously hurt thank goodness).
Hibs are quite right in having a bullish valuation, and in sticking to it. John McGinn is worth more to us than has been bid, and he's worth more to Celtic than has been bid. Just wait til they go 1 down to the opponent in their next round Champions League qualifier...

An example of the esteem in which they hold McGinn.:
Yeah we should pay the going rate, you're right. The going rate for a player like him given his contract situation is less than £1m though.
Also it's not our concern about their replacements. They have allowed Allen to go and don't seem to be interested in bringing him back, at least not on a full contract. Mcgeogh, who everyone thinks was their best player last year was also allowed to walk away for nothing. They are taking the piss with McGinn here because they didn't plan very well. That's their problem, not ours.
If the reports are true about the figures we've already offered (£1.75m allegedly) then we've already went way too high. Our next bid should be half of that and show them that we won't be held to ransom for their folly

There should be a rule, no more than 3 bids for the same player from a single club in the same transfer window
That would cut out a lot of this low balling pittance bidding nonsense

The english transfer window shuts on 9th August SJM is a valuable asset to club, I trust the tache and LD to tell celtic to gtf with their time-wasting bids.

That is the impression they have. That they are doing us a favour by stripping us of our best players for whatever money they see fit to give us. That we should be grateful to get anything at all. I doubt the Celtic hierarchy view us much differently. They are too used to dealing with selling clubs who need to short sell their assets just to survive.
These attitudes wont change because most Scottish clubs wont stand up to them. I want hibs to be more concerned with putting a good team on the park than snatching at a low offer. Keeping McGinn for the season would be helping to do just that. If Celtic want to wait a year then make them wait.

The same player will be worth less for Hibs as the selling club than he would being sold by Celtic and similarly less being sold by Celtic than they would being sold by most EPL clubs. It's a nearly insoluble problem too realistically speaking. You'd have to have all players independently valued and there is no way the big clubs agree to that just as there's no way they'd agree to all the actual Champions in Europe qualifying for the group stages of the CL ahead of the clubs who finished 2nd and 3rd in the EPL for example.
Everything that happens in football is money, power and influence rather than having anything to do with fair play.

Interesting point.
Is the board, who've rightly received a lot of praise since 2014, due any scrutiny over allowing the club to lose arguably their two most saleable assets in McGeough for free and possibly McGinn if he signs a pre-contract in January?

No other reason why he would be left out, unlikely to be injured. All the best SJM, great memories.

Guessing Celtic have said we will offer this but he can’t be cup tied

Hope if there’s any evidence of them tapping SJM up, which sounds like there definitely has been, that we report them.

For a club that said they wouldn’t be putting in a third bid and a support who apparently don’t rate McGinn, they are wetting themselves at this news. I know we don’t know any details,and we never will, but I’m willing to guess we’ve been hard-balled.

I'm wondering if a club other than Celtic have come in for him today.

Saw a rumour on social media (yes I know but here it is anyway)
McGinn to Celtic for an undisclosed fee with Allan to hibs and Bitton on loan
