...pedantry alert. OK, he got the league position wrong by one place, but he also made a number of interesting points which it might be more interesting to talk about instead no?

Forgot to put a smiley after it, want being pedantic 😁

[we are hibs]

The sun are saying we want 3.5 million and that there has been contact from clubs down south but no official bid. But hibs are expecting bids from down south. This is great news imo. Opens everything right up.

Exactly what we wanted to hear!

[guthrie01]

Good, should take the English money then offer 100k for Scott Allan and see how Celtic like it

[Big L]

I had a look to see what was being said on the Celtic rumours site and the editor spouted of to the Celtic fans that McGinn was coming to Celtic and that he told Hibs not to listen to offers from other clubs because they were wasting their time. Make of that what you will.

[Pete]

Time for Celtic to get serious if they want Hibs to play ball.

Allan plus serious cash and I’ll be satisfied.

[madhatter]

Clubs down south will be thinking they can get a player of similar caliber to Armstrong for cheaper, if we get 3.5-4m for McGinn that would be good. Lets be honest though, I can see McGinn going further than Armstrong in his career so whoever gets him will be getting him on the cheap.

Celtc need to remember the English window closes early this summer. Clubs down there are about to go on a spending frenzy - a lot of the top clubs have already done business so the market will be moving fast.

[B.H.F.C]

If there is interest down south, Celtic’s bid will prompt them to get the ball rolling. That’s when we find out how serious Celtic are about wanting him.

Interesting comments from Lennon tonight, saying McGinn isn’t right mentally. That changes things a bit IMO and we’ll want to get things wrapped up quickly now. We just need to hold our nerve.

I don’t believe the accuracy of this for a second, but, if on the very off chance it were true, I would be telling McGinn to shut it and if Celtic were relying on a ‘steal’ he and they would be disappointed. You’re with us for another season and if you don’t like it you can show a lack of professionalism and take the powder puff and then slink off to Celtic in June 2019. I will be really disappointed if LD buckles to Celtic and McGinn pressure.

not sure why but i believe that, and if it turns out he only wants to go to the west of scotland club then i for one will be rather peeved at SJM, i'm still a tad peeved at Dylan McGeouch :(

[madhatter]

If I was a professional football player, playing well for a random club and Hibs were interested to sign me, I'd be hugely annoyed if they put cheap offers in for me, it honestly would put me off moving to Hibs to an extent even though I'm a massive fan and have Hibs family. The whole talk of "we'll just let your contract run out at Hibs and get you for free" is another thing that'd make me think "nah, you are alright, if you don't want me enough to sign me now after all these offers clearly sent to unsettle me, then get lost".

Strange that most footballers seem to be quite happy for cheap deals to be submitted for them...even if they've enjoyed playing for their current team...

Can't see for a minute mcginn saying he isn't interested in offers down south. I'd also like to think he'd have more respect for hibs. Guess we'll find out

Why’s that? Up to him where he wants to work isn’t it?

Any club can come in for him but it’s still up to the player if he wants to move once we accept a bid. They’re not slaves.

Mcginn is is a total pro with massive respect for hibs! id be very surprised if hes actually said anything about leaving hibs to any1 other than family.he has already said he is totally relaxed about having another year at hibs.

Allan said very much the same before Rangers saga fully kicked off and pretty sure he handed in a transfer request...just saying. We can't know what players will do. Scott Allan seems a decent enough bloke but he did that to try to force his way to his boyhood heroes. Not sure why McGinn couldn't do the same.

Sorry disagree with this. Scott Allan has a track record of doing things some perceive to be not cricket. Ask Dundee Utd fans. SJM doesn’t have said track record. I think it’s something that will eventually run it’s course

[BegbieHSC]

Apologies, more social media rumours going around tonight, but there’s a suggestion among some (NOT ME - I’VE NO GOT A CLUE!) that if there’s a situation where an acceptable fee is not reached by the end of this transfer window, that McGinn will sign a small extension to ensure that us and St Mirren don’t lose out through a pre-contact acquisition from another club come January

To me, this doesn’t really make sense, and seems like pie in the sky, wishful thinking, but it would be nice if it was true.

Thought I’d pass on in the event that there is a remnance of truth in it.

Craig Gordon did that before moving to Sunderland to get Hearts a bigger fee.

Can disagree, not a problem with that but McGinn could easily get a track record for doing the same as Scott Allan, we might be his “first”. We cannot underestimate the family pull he has and where his mind is at.I could quite easily see him ask to meet Leeann and Lennon to request to be sold as quick as possible to Celtic.

We don’t even know, this may already have happened. Fit by next weeks game or gone, at the moment my money is on he’s gone.

[DetroitHibs]

If a player like Lampard takes SJM aside and shows him round Derby and gets in his ear, he could easily want to sign for Derby. Lampard could improve John's playing career a lot.

And himself bigger wages while he waits.

It's actually quite common - both Suarez and countinho did it at Liverpool I think

Yes he would do that. He is that sort of person.

Hibs have always rolled over to celtics money. Every now and again well have a player who can do better than celtic. This is one of those occasions.

We Didn't roll over to Celtics money with Steven Fletcher, but I get what you mean.

Most of the time, for successful Hibs players being sold, Celtic tend to be the only show in town and are most likely to offer the highest fee, even derisory amounts that they offered for McGinn.

I think Hibs have played this pretty well, holding off Celtic and now the papers are beginning to print interest from down south, whether there is interest or not, I don't know.

This may encourage Celtic to pay the fee that Hibs feel is worth selling McGinn for.
