Lennon implied in his interview last week that Celtic were not the only club making an offer on John, I think the weegie press tell everyone that Celtic have made an offer and it's been rejected, maybe other offers have been undisclosed as of now so we don't know who or what.

Tend to think like you. Hibs like to keep their dealings to themselves... Some clubs however, like to do their business through the press, especially when things aren't going their way

Who is the agent?

Agents are a terrible thing for the game imho

How else does a 21 yo laddie make sure he gets the best deal possible?

They can’t be expected to negotiate their future going up against experienced business professionals when there’s millions at stake.

Of course they need to have agents.

McGinn is 24 in October. No really a laddie any more.

The "good old days", before agents had so much power, had the likes of Dundee United signing up their best players for sweeties on long-term contracts.

You would think there would be some reference to McGinn on one of their forums surely. All I could see mentioned was Tierney of Celtic.

Didn't realise how prolific Marc McNulty had been for Coventry - or that he had signed for Reading!

Cheers for that..!

I deal with my players just as they were my own two boys. Ok there maybe some agents at the very top level who are making millions who are thinking of themselves as they
get greedy but they are far and few between. Put it this way, Hibs will not be dealing with them.

I try and do the best for the players as it's their living and it doesn't last long. Players at a certain level need to be looked after EG Making sure they Invest their money in the correct way, they don't get into
trouble outside football etc etc...It's like bringing up your child giving them the best advice you possibly can, it's up to them if they take it or not.

It's like any occupation, there are bad guys and there are good guys!

I hadn't realised he'd been a Hibs youngster.

Once McGinn signs for Reading I'll start giving updates on their progress.

I had known he was here. Would have been a realistic target for some Scottish clubs last season, I'd have thought.

Haha, cheers

I’m taking about players in general, not McGinn.

Can you really imagine the like of Cummings representing himself??!!!

We could do with some more Willie McKays in the game.

Jim McArthur’s another decent agent.

There’s plenty out there doing exactly what they should be doing for their clients. They don’t represent clubs!

Of course it’s easy to say they’re all crap etc just like we do with journalists, chairmen, officials and anyone else involved in the game that isn’t a Hibs player!

So that makes him a 23 year old faced with signing a contract that will make him a millionaire and potentially map out a huge part of his career. Still a huge decison for someone that age don't you think?

Jim McArthur got Deek his big move. His career went into reverse right after that. I guess that’s another debate though.

They often do. It's not even unusual for them to represent both in the same deal! The English premier league are looking at banning this:

Interesting take from the player's point of view (I think it's generally accepted that TSF is Dave Kitson):

Yeah but he did what Deek wanted.

Deek ruined his own career, not his agent.
