    McNulty playing for Scotland - Good or Bad for Hibs?

    Does it improve our chances of signing him as it proves we can help him get in the 󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 squad?

    Or does it increase his stock putting him out of Hibs' reach financially?

    Let me know what you all think and I'll read it on the pod this evening

    Not sure that, financially, we’d ever be able to buy him. Reading will want to recover a fair chunk of the money they paid for him.

    He’s also got three years to run on what will be the biggest contract of his career so he might not be in any rush to give that up.

    Reckon the best we can hope for is another loan.

    After missing that header I'd suggest we have a better chance now

    ‘Apparently’ he’s keen on sticking around and wages aren’t as big a problem as one might think. The transfer fee in persuading reading to let him go seemingly the bigger obstacle.

    Can't see it, from a financial perspective.

    Hibs are starting to get a reputation of helping players play for their national team and this is another one of hopefully many more to come. This will give players debating whether to come to the club the confidence of furthering their careers.

    On a side note, I heard from someone with close connections to Mark that Hibs have an option to buy him. Not sure if this is 100% accurate but I thought I'd share it anyway.

    He's got three years left at Reading, where he will be on a lucrative salary.

    We would struggle to pay a quarter of his wage.

    I heard different in that we haven’t an option as such, but have expressed more than an interest, but as yet haven’t offered an ‘acceptable’ fee.

    Your source may well be closer to Marc than mine though!

    Big fan of McNulty. Very positive player who's played as big a role in our turnaround as the management.

    Reading payed between £1.2 - 1.5 million which is a fair wack. Could Hibs afford to pay around £750,000? Would that be enough? Would like to see us make a fair effort to bring him in.

    Not a hope we can pay that.

    We paid over £500k for Anthony Stokes. It's on the high side, for sure, but £750k isn't out of reach, if McNulty shows he's worth it. We probably have to wait for Aston Villa to sell John McGinn to some EPL or Bundesliga team for £lots so we catch a decent sell-on bung, and then we'd have to catch Rod Petrie in a really good mood. It's unlikely but possible.

    Stokes was a free transfer? McNulty will be back down South next season.

    As Tina Turner might have sung.....

    What's Rod got to do with it?

    Probably lessens our chances of getting him permanently, I'm afraid.

    We need someone than can score headers anyway!!

    Not when we signed him from Sunderland.

    When Hibs are considering spending money on something, Rod will be involved.

    Can't wait for the summer transfer window thread already. Trying to guess where Marc is by the reflection on his shades on his Instagram pic. What a time to be alive.

    I think that there might be some scenarios where McNulty might be at Hibs next season but it has to be said that it will take some magic from Hibs to make it happen.

    I reckon if Lennon gets the Celtic job then McNulty will go there in the summer.

    Makes no difference, McNulty is out of our price range. More likely that Celtic or Sevco will sign him now.

    We're always told that when we sell a player that the money comes in instalments.
    Rod Petrie might have his detractors but I have faith that if anyone can negotiate easy terms, it's him.

    We wouldn’t be able to pay his wage.
