If McGinn isn't sold and gets a bad injury, we could lose him for the season and have no money from a sale - far too big a risk for us.
We'll sell him and rightly so. I love him and he's been very good for us, but life goes on.

tbh, seeing how he’s turned out, it’s no wonder that they were spewing at losing him for free.
Would hate for the same to happen to us with McGinn

Doubt he would come to us ahead of staying with Killie for a few quid more.

Doomsday scenario which shouldn't affect our valuation.
If we retain him we can assume he will leave for nothing. We will plan our recruitment with that in mind. Whether he gets injured or not is simply the vagaries of football.
If we are dependant on getting just any money in then we'll sell ourselves short. I'd rather the club got a fair price than got short changed.

As good as McGinn can be and he has improved a lot this past 2 seasons, there were times I felt he tried too hard to make things happen therefore he made simple basic errors, these are still things he needs to iron out of his game if he wants to go further. Knowing McGinn's mindset and professionalism he'll be working as hard as ever to make himself the best, whether that's at Celtic or elsewhere, maybe that's the reason why no one has come in with the £3-5m offer yet, they still see him developing.

£1.5m is a pathetic offer and fine well Celtic know it. Exactly the same as what sevco do when bidding on another Scottish clubs players. Pair of them show so much disrespect and contempt for the other clubs in this country its unreal.
Really hope an English club comes in and blows Celtic out the water for SJM and he goes down there.

IMO this is already a done deal, and probably has been for a long time, all we are now doing is playing out the end game. Both clubs apparently playing hard ball to appease their own fans and a compromise will be made where the “best deal” is agreed. The other scenario is that SJM bides his time and signs a pre contract in January.
Again, IMO Celtic are operating from a strong position knowing that their ultimate replacement for Scott Brown wants to sign for them can wait until contract runs down. Don’t know what the final deal will be, but I think SJM is Parkhead bound.
Disclaimer. No inside info but 50 years experience hoping against hope that we are about to lose another talented player to the OF. This time I hope it benefits the club, but we are in a weak position.

Don’t think Hibs have the slightest wish to sell to Celtic and they will be delighted to get better bids from down south.Also don’t consider Celtic want McGinn as another Brown.

2018 transfer fees gone nuts we have been bid 1.5m for a double cup winning International player. What a total pile of piss.
The fear of losing him for nothing cannot enter this, now is the time to push this all the way IMO if somebody really wants him let's see it.Last edited by Captain Trips; 04-07-2018 at 05:10 PM.

I think Lennon and Dempster would quite happily keep him for the season and let him leave for nothing this time next year rather than accept a low offer from Celtic.
Despite what the doomsayers might think, we hold all the cards here.

Some clubs may not wish to take risk in open market.

We need to get Allan out of Parkhead before we sell McGinn down south otherwise the Allan price tag will mysteriously sky rocket.

#1, I don't know JC & my info doesn't come from him or anyone associated with him. I only posted about this originally because I was fed up with seeing RP being touted as a transfer wizard. RP was a rugby fan who had never seen a football game until STF brought him into Hibs. His negotiating tactics were 100% based on finance, he had zero feel or knowledge of the football market. #2 yes Fletch was originally on a long term contract but it was for sweeties. Overnight he went from lowest to highest paid player at ER. #3. JC's main fault with recruitment was that he relied too much on Tommy Craig. Both Brian Kerr & AOB played under TC at Newcastle. A 3rd ex Newcastle player sat in my living room after playing that day for Crystal Palace & advised TC had indicated an interest in him coming to ER. Thankfully, as he did nothing subsequently, we were miles apart on wages, but ironically his friend was v interested in coming to Hibs & he was still an EPL player last year.
That's it, as usual I suspect the true & full story is somewhere in the middle but I hope you'll appreciate I'm neither making things up nor repeating 2nd hand gossip.u

Derby county just accepted a £1.7m bid for Craig Bryson, wonder if that could trigger an offer for Mcginn.
