Griffiths loan???

[PeterboroHibee]

Having read this (http://www.scotsman.com/sport/football/spfl/griffiths-will-stay-at-celtic-deila-tells-hibs-1-3553600) article in The Scotsman, I'm now convinced this Loan has been killed stone dead.

I'd encourage all you Straw Clutchers to read it.

Ive never been fully convinced we would sign him, but theres nothing in that article that suggests anything in the situation is changed. Im not sure what point Deila is trying to make from those quotes, and it almost contradicts what both managers have said over the last few days. Also, he keeps talking Griffiths up in the press, then refuses to play him. Its a very strange message to send to any player.

[Bad Martini]

I fail to see the confusion here. He has said LG isn't going anywhere.
He has talked him up as he is celtic player and if he does need him (injuries to his preffered strikers), he needs lg on side....

And that's it...!?!?

Would love to see Griffiths back at easter road. But all the evidence suggests it won't happen. No matter how much we all want it to happen.

Still think delia is an erse for not playing him mind you.

[TheHarpy76]

Sounds like Riordan all over again imo.
Strachan was forever banging on about how he was the best finisher at the club etc and yet he never played him.

Exact same thing with Griffiths.

Makes you wonder what's happening off the pitch.

Given your negative comments on here and on the PM board I take it you don't want Hibs to sign Sparky.

Nah, haven't a clue mate.

At least we know Hibs are trying to get him though.

[mutley]

Like everyone, I've been clinging onto the idea, but the time it has taken has dragged on, if there is no news by the end of today, I really do think that the deal is dead in the water.
I can't go through another week on " it's happening on Monday, no maybe Wednesday, oh wait it'll definitely be friday"

I'm gutted but lets move on

You take it wrong..... I'm simply trying to dampen the fervour a little.


Also, everything I predict turns out the opposite, so it's a bit like 'reverse psychology' :wink:

“We enquired about him before the deadline. Apart from that, there is nothing to report. The recent stories have not come from us. It is people making assumptions because Leigh is not in the Celtic team. He is not my player and it’s not my decision."

Alan Stubbs (http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hibs-bid-sign-celtic-striker-4326630)


That seems to be at odds with what's been reported on here.

What do you want him to say about a player THAT IS NOT HIS?!

He cannot come out and say he wants him and that he should come to us.

We will soon see. If Stubbs does his pre match press conference without anything happening I would say its dead

That's a bit of an over-reaction, isn't it?

Am I not allowed to highlight what people have said in the press or question what people say on here in light of it?


The only definite quotes I have read from anyone at either Celtc or Hibs would suggest there is going to be NO Loan deal for Griffiths.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

I'm on page 218 on my iPhone. He signed ages ago. Hit double figures before being recalled by Celtic. Not to worry though, big rumours that he could be signing for another 12 months once the summer window opens, next month

[GreenLake]

Very true, a bet on how many points Hibs won the league by would pay out at gigantic odds compared to a Ryder Cup bet. I'm not much of a gambler so a novice in the use of information from the future.

Are you for real??? Not one itk poster I have seen has said it's a done deal, they have said hibs have tried and if Celtic give the go ahead it would happen this week, I think it's quite clear from all the reports including a Stubbs interview hibs have tried and it looks like Celtic want to keep him for now, you need to get a grip your embarrassing yourself

Read all my posts. Back when the window was open I posted everything is done Hibs end. Which then it was.

I got a text saying that's it done deal. At that time it was. Celtic pulled the plug last min, I said it, press confirmed it day after.

This time, again I said he would be coming as I was told Hibs were back in (which they were) and it it was in Celtics hands.

Sadly Petrie has got involved and it's went dead as these things do.

We have to remember that under normal circumstances, the club loaning the player out do so because they want a youth/fringe player to gain some first team experience, and they are the party looking to get the deal done. In this case, it appears Hibs have made an enquiry, however, Celtic are under no obligation to agree to this deal, and are quite within their rights to refuse. The fact that Griffiths isn't getting any game time is irrelevant.

It's al semantics now T C. But are you saying that there was a deal to be done and Petrie s intervention scuppered it ,as opposed to Celtic deciding they weren't prepared to let him go .ie were Celtic holding out for greater % of wages than Petrie was prepared to pay .

Calm doon Aldo you'll do yourself an injury mate :greengrin

Afraid these arguments will always occur when people post things like it will happen this week / on Monday / at 1pm etc. ...... When it doesn't pan out people will always question the sources behind such bold statements, whether these sources are at it or the people claiming to have sources are at it is always debatable. One thing is for sure Celtic have made it pretty clear that they are not interested in loaning him out at this time so it's over ..... For the time being anyway:rolleyes:

[bingo70]

Be nice if he signs but some folk care far too much.

We were ***** when he played for us before so he won't magically make us into a good team, although his goals would clearly be welcome.

Sometimes get the impression some folk support Griffiths more than they do hibs.

[weonlywon6-2]

Did the celtic manager not say earlier today that leigh was going knowhere,if petrie has blocked it then im very disappointed to say the least

Total crap. No idea why anyone pays any attention to you anymore.

Some of you 'ITK' guys are now just creating issues for the club where they aren't there.

There's enough to worry about trying to win games just now without the usual drivel aimed at the club.

Folk like you are the reason I've given up posting here but it's time some of this stuff just stopped. No idea what you get out of it.
