Was quality at Cardiff last year so glad we're (Cardiff) getting him cheap. Makes you wonder what SJM is worth though.

If Celtic seriously want him then they will have to pay. If not, they run the risk of missing out when he's free to agree higher wages at an English club come January, because they've saved on a transfer fee. If Hibs have any pretensions of being a top 2/3 club then they can't be bullied on this and McGinn's onfield value could over the course of this campaign only benefit the club if he remains for another season and leaves for free.

Selling SJM reminds me of recent real estate transactions in my neck of the woods, and can be seen I guess on yon lifestyle programmes on selling houses.
Substitute SJM for the house, us for the owners and Celtic for the prospective buyers, and it’s similar.
The ‘owner’ feels almost invariably that his property is worth much more than being offered, partly due to emotional reasons, and frequently cites ‘the house up the road’ being sold for more, as justification for a higher price.
The buyer, however, looks on the purchase in a less emotional frame of mind, and generally will walk away and look elsewhere if the seller does not sufficiently move.
We will place a value on SJM that others don’t see, and the possibility exists that the sale will not go through...and eventually SJMwill move at no cost, or a much reduced cost in January.
Players, like houses, are only worth what someone else will pay for them....not on what we ‘think’ they should be.

1.5 million even with Allan as a makeweight is nothing short of an insult … they got 7 million for Armstrong and want 25 million for Tierney …. Hibs should absolutely and unreservedly tell them to take their so called 'offer' and shove it right up their arse … insulting cheeky *******s. I would rather see SJM run down his contract and go for nothing.

If Celtic want McGinn they need to buy him now. Come January he can do a pre season with an English club on far higher wages as has already been mentioned.
If he goes South then Celtic can forget about ever affording to buy him back.
They knew fine well that Hibs wouldn’t accept their offer and they’ll come back with a vastly improved one, probably involving Allan.
Hibs hold all all the aces here. Not McGinn and certainly not Celtic.
I’m completed relaxed about the whole thing. Either we have him for a season then he goes for nowt with everyone’s best wishes, or we sell him now for a fee that our Board are happy with.

While we could get rid now and try our best to buy a suitable replacement, we could live in it for the next 12 months while we run the lease down. We could also run our family business from it quite successfully and get the additional income that comes with doing so.
Failing any of that we could always sell the house in January when there aren't as many houses available for sale.
Meanwhile the prospective buyer has sold a couple of high profile buy to let properties and has found that other sellers are playing hardball with the value of their houses as well.Last edited by Speedy; 05-07-2018 at 12:10 AM.

Setting the policy of signing players on long term deals will have been set by the Board and Petrie will have been acting as a Director of that Board.
It's pretty clear Petrie and JC didn't have a very good working relationship but to be honest there doesn't seem to be many people down Easter Rd that did like JC as Manager.
A theme that I believed continued at Livingston.
Fully agree on Tommy Craig and his influence over JC with players. Some of the worst signing I've ever seen in a Hibs jersey. Jonelit (excuse the spelling!) - I've played against better amateur players in my day.
Anyway happy to put this one to bed, which is just where I'm heading!!

If you don’t get the price you want, you are better keeping your house and waiting for the right deal to come along or stay where you are.
Again Hibs don’t need the money, of course it would be handy, but SJM may help us finish higher up the league and qualify for the European stages. Wishful thinking maybe but no need to accept silly offers.

Thankfully Fulham, Derby and Brighton buyers also showed up and théy were cash buyers, no mortgage required and no drama.
also the local buyer would have rubbed our noses in it by making us visit our much loved old house 4 times a season whereas the cash buyers from elsewhere save us from that.Last edited by Springbank; 05-07-2018 at 05:52 AM.

It should all kick off today! If Celtic really want SJM he has to be registered by them with EUFA for the CL. So it is pay up or shut up squeaky bum time.
We on the other hand have our own agenda and need to push on with the small matter of getting new recruits on board for the upcoming Europa League games and the new SPFL season.
Look forward to a bumpy ride.

I think if we’re close though you’re right, they’d prefer to get this one over the line and leave the other available slot for someone else.

Woke up this morning to a text from a good mate who has good contacts, and he said SJM was pulled last night because a deal was near.
I'd imagine its the smellies, although hopefully these new admirers down south change things.

Bet it was all an elaborate plan to make sure it didn’t look suspicious that just McGinn was missingLast edited by Heisenberg; 05-07-2018 at 06:55 AM.

IF McGinn is moving lets get it done quickly and get Allan in time to play on Sunday.

Sunday's team will be very close if not identical to the team for the Europa first leg.

It is 2 additional players that can be registered.
42.07 List A has to be submitted online by the following fixed deadlines:
a. 21 June 2018 (24.00CET) for all matches in the preliminary round;
b. 6 July 2018 (24.00CET) for all matches in the first qualifying round;
c. 20 July 2018 (24.00CET) for all matches in the second qualifying round;
d. 3 August 2018 (24.00CET) for all matches in the third qualifying round;
e. 17 August 2018 (24.00CET) for all matches in the play-offs;
f. 3 September 2018 (24.00CET) for all further matches from the first match in
the group stage up to and including the final.
42.08 For the qualifying phase and the play-offs, a club may register a maximum of two
new eligible players on List A after the above-mentioned deadlines, provided the
quota of locally trained players is respected. Such registration must be completed
by 24.00CET on the day before the relevant first-leg match and the club’s
association must confirm in writing that the new player is eligible to play at
domestic level at this time.

IMO too many people are hung up on Allan he would be a good signing but for me he is a luxury player. He goes missing far too often in matches. If we could get more from down south just forget about Celtic / Allan and get more money to buy other players. Celtic will probably value him higher ~1 million to offset the McGinn fee where in reality £250k is more realistic as he’s only been successful at hibs in recent times.

Allan played a major role in pushing us for second place. Allan for me was in the top two signings I wanted. Flo being first. I think he has a few games last year where he wasn't on his game but that's to be expected I don't think he was missing far too often. I can't see Celtic looking at anything near 250k for Allan nor do I think hibs would pay that for him. But when this sort of player becomes available its hard to pass up.
