    Really? For which team?

    He hasn’t played in this role for Hibs.
    He has.

    I maybe could have worded that better - but he's more than comfortable playing deep, coming to get the ball, and doing so with his back to goal. He has done so in some of Hibs' best performances over the past couple of years (including at Ibrox). The kind of thing we all got so excited about McGeough doing this season.

    When we originally signed him (the first time) he wasn't considered an 'attacking midfielder' as in someone who sits at the tip of a diamond, or in front of a more defensive-minded midfield. Albeit recently, he's tended to play in part of a 3 with McGeough or Bartley generally further back.

    Feel like I'm getting to the arguing for the sake of it bit though - as I agree, would like to sign him for the attacking threat he poses.

    Maybe I'm doing my best to justify having Allan in any capacity as I think he's THAT good

    I’d take that deal with Griffiths thrown in for a season long loan 😄
    How is LG fitness wise did he not miss quite a few games last season, has he featured in any games this season so far?
    I don't pay attention to Celtic much.

    Allan has played deep plenty times before, and played it well. For me, he's able to offer everything McGeough did in there.. but I won't get into that argument.
    Aye and Allan will not miss a third of the matches through niggling injuries.

    Would everybody just calm down Theres plenty time to sign him, yes it would be nice to have him for the Euro games but if we get him this window before the season starts thats all that matters imo.
    Season starts in 10 days

    Fwiw (probably not much but you never know), Phil Mac Giolla Bhain claims Celtc's latest offer for SJM is £2.25M plus Scott Allan, who Celtc value at £1M.

    This the same Allan who struggled at Celtic, struggled at Rotherham and struggled at Dundee, he's got 1 year left and is worth around £200k and no more, my opinion obviously.

    If Scott Allan is valued by Celtic at £1m then Hibs will need to pay St Mirren around £1.1m. Taking off other deductions net cash to Hibs will be less than a million.

    No deal!
    Have you read the agreement? I really can't see Hibs losing out because Celtic value a player at x amount. We're smarter than that. It will be a separate deal or the deal with St Mirren won't include players.

    Out of interest, what value do you put on SJM who also only has 1 year on his deal.

    Typical Celtic. We blamed Petrie for everything first, they're just jumping on the bandwagon again

    McGinns worth to us is far far greater than Allans worth to Celtic

    Celtic bloggers are the worst, I've seen better written rangers club statements, which had less paranoia to boot.

    Different player, McGinn has 15 caps and is a key player in a top 4 club, Allan although does well here gets on the bench occasionally and wasn't even a 1st team pick at Dundee. Going by what Armstrong went for McGinn is worth minimum £4m.

    Reading that article has rekindled the hatred I had for Celtic and their supporters.

    I honestly used to think 'aye they're bad but not as bad as The Rangers' but that just proves they truly are different cheeks of the same horrible bigoted arse

    IMO There’s no way you could play Mallan and Allan in the same team both are luxury players and without Mcginn we would get over run through the middle of the park.

    That piece is really funny. Talk about bitter he is making stuff up to cover up the fallout at celtic between Peter l and BR all is not well in the west and Rodgers is very unhappy at the way PL is dealing with the bids for John mcginn.

    Totally disagree after last night. Mallan played the deeper Dylan role second half and I thought he was outstanding, taking the ball from the defence and spraying passes out wide.

    Leigh Griffiths was at the game last night

    Wouldn't read too much into it, he always comes to see us when he can.

    You can argue it might be difficult to accommodate both, but no way are they "luxury players" - quite the contrary, it is essential to have a Mallan or Allan type in midfield who can create chances and take corners/ free-kicks to such good effect.

    Honestly, £100k is the most I’d pay for him, maybe £150k.

    If we can get Allan for around 150k it's an absolute no brainer. On his day he is probably better than McGinn, just not as consistent.

    Best footballer we've had in midfield in a good few years. And we had a few of them last season

    John McGinn has played his last game at Easter Rd as a Hibs player last night. A 4 year deal with Celtic will see him in Hoops, with a healthy sell on and appearance clause, for the start of the SPFL proper with Scotty Allan in as part of the cash + Swap deal and Ryan Christie on a season long loan. Total deal value c£4m

    St.Mirren will get less than they expect because of the way the deal is structured. Pertrie for all may dislike him is no mug when it comes to structuring deals to maximise revenue to the club.

    Source? Not saying I understand horse language but I do equine lip reading.
