Griffiths loan???

[Jim44]

The window closes at 11.00pm on Monday.

Sorry, I thought Sunday was the deadline.

[SMAXXA]

So your saying your sitting on the fence? 😄

Lol no I'm just unable to say at this point if it will definitely happen as currently it's not definite. I think every hibs fan would be surprised if it happened let's be honest

[WhileTheChief..]

Celtic want rid, we want him and Leigh loves us. Why won't it happen??!

Too many negative vibes on here. :greengrin

[Iceman1875]

Is this worth pulling a sickie on Monday for the potential return of king leigh?! 😂👍


At Easter Road we play...

[Smartie]

I reckon those within the board at Celtic will be a bit torn about what they want. Financially those within Celtic Park probably want Rangers up to resume their utterly tedious bun-fight safe in the knowledge that with the Huns wounded they'll still be able to lord it over them for a few years at least. They'll want the extra income from the OF games and the interest that goes with them, TV money etc and be confident that they'll still get the Champions League stuff to themselves.

Against that though, there's not really ever anything for them to play for any more and I think the fans are probably coming to realise that. No chance whatsoever of winning anything in Europe and pretty much guaranteed domestic dominance.

The thing that I think will probably be most important to them is the prospect of beating 9-in-a-row. Celtic have a European Cup and 10-in-a-row is probably now the holy grail for OF fans.

They are more likely to achieve that with the Huns out of the picture for as long as possible. Given that Griffiths is likely to be 4th or 5th choice they may well cut their losses financially, at least for 6 months anyway and choose to loan him to us as hanging onto him isn't going to be of great value and he may damage the prospects of their ugly twin going back up. If he bangs them in for us his value may rise and they can at least get back what they paid for him rather than make a loss now.

Win/win situation imo. We just need Griffiths to be up for it and for the board to realise the message it would send to our own fans. It would be a massive move.

[macd123]

Sadly I agree. I am sure Hibs management want it, I am sure the player wants it, but Celtic's crowds have collapsed since The Rangers departed. Not I their interests. Hope I m wrong

Im afraid he isn't particularly keen to play in the championship this year. Shame but understandable.

The only reason would be money.

[Thecat23]

Ok guys, posted on the PB this so time to share with you guys.

I text my mate who's an agent this afternoon about Leigh.

He replied not long ago saying... DEAL DONE!!

So again, if all is well which it seems it is.. Leigh is coming home lads!!

[Onceinawhile]

Fingers crossed cat.

Waiting for the scarf above head though.

Even after all the info I've had I'll believe it when I see him myself with the scarf above the head ;)

I'm like everyone else here, praying it all comes off.

[silverhibee]

I think there's a good chance but would still be surprised if t happened

Do you no if Griffiths is still being charged by the SFA regards the song in the Roseburn, and have Hibs enquired about this. :aok:

Who cares what they think. It will be like when Joe Baker returned against Aberdeen all these years ago...... in white boots. 40 odd year ago but still vivid in my mind.

[Springbank]

Rangers will beat hearts in the play offs and then skelp whoever finishes 11th (st mirren IMHO) so we get Leigh, Celtic get their Old Friends derby back, and hearts are left to patch up their firetrap stand fir another season in the wee league

Joe "scored" but ruled out. PS beat Bobby Clark from edge of 18 yard box. First goal he had lost for a record number of weeks. Joe scored with a header to make it 2-0. ER went crazy. Aberdeen got a late goal. Finished 2-1. Long time ago but this is why we love Hibs.

Would be great but sadly we don't tend to sign players that would generate the interest to make it worthwhile. Certainly could have opened the ground when Riordan returned and would be busy for Leigh if he comes home

Whats the best odds on hibs for the championship cos if we get the wee man back the titles in the bag.

Either the deal is done or its not. If they agree to a loan Hibs are unlikely to ask right away if they just forget all the loan negotiations and sell him!

Maybe a loan is better for Hibs. No immediate transfer fee and shared wages?

I'll take him loan first and then let the future unfold.

However, if we were to negotiate an actual transfer, well........:shocked: smelling salts on standby !

This whole thread makes me want to replicate David Luiz's celebration v Colombia through my street. If hibs pull this off on a loan deal it'll be our best signing since stokes, maybe longer. If we get him permanently, best since Sauzee, maybe better.

Dempster, Petrie, Stubbs, whoever is in charge of this, make it happen and I guarantee you the expense will more than pay for itself. Best investment you will ever make.

Signing a player on loan doesn't mean you're playing players you can't afford if you pay their wages or a percentage of them.

Signing players on loan or permanently and not paying them means you're playing players you can't afford.

Celtic now have a plethora of forward players. I am not for 1 minute putting 2 @ 2 together however they will now have more than 2 positions in each forward place with the emergence of mcgregor (who looks a terrific player) and the striker signed and the wing man signed, I believe that hibs will push the boat out, we can offer Celtic ( not Leigh) cos he will come in a heart beat) the deal that is required. Anyway, all is not lost, we can get promoted!!

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

A good few of their cup winning side in 06 were on loan from kaunis were they not? Selective memories and no wit. Chumps.

They used to have dozens of guys over on loan. The difference between our loans and their loans, is that we actually pay the agreed wages. Each month, on time. Meanwhile-this will come as a shock-they didn't pay the wages properly which led to a £1.75 million tax case in 2012. Not to mention that the loan system(when used legally, like what we do)is established throughout world football and is used by some of the biggest clubs going. Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid in the past 12 months alone.

It's just the Hibees cheating though eh? Clowns

A mate of mine who's a Celtic fan says the Celtic twitter sites are all full of Griffiths loan deal to Hibs. He's a good mate of mine and most certainly is not on the wind-up. I don't know the first thing about twitter and I haven't signed up for it, but it's interesting if true. I don't normally believe rumours like the one started about Griffiths, but I'm beginning to really believe this might be happening.

[HibernianJK]

Leigh coming to hibs on loan a 'possibility' according to a very reliable source.

[Casper]

Ok if that happens then i will be willing to place my gonads in a vice and stick my nipples against electrodes ........... IF we DIDNT end up winning the championship....

Excited doesn't even come close to covering it.

Hahahahaha

[Pickle]

There are now too many forward players at Celtic, they thought commons would attract attention but not at the levels thought (eg snodgrass). hibs have every chance of getting lg on board, he wants to come, he doesn't lose money but he will never earn serious cash at Celtic. Only what I heard, however the forward signings of Celtic would suggest they are not impressesed.

[Glorious St Pat]

Spoke to someone tonight who thought one of the businessmen part financing the deal was a Jambo?! Used to drink in Luckies. Thoughts?

[JJP]

I don't want to allow myself to believe this will happen. The disappointment if it doesn't happen would be too much.

If it doesn't go through though I can at least console myself in the thought that missing out on Leigh last year was so much worse because we had James Collins as our main striker where as now we have Farid and I'm a big fan of El Alagui.

What's in it for him? Strange one if true.

[Pickle]

They used to have dozens of guys over on loan. The difference between our loans and their loans, is that we actually pay the agreed wages. Each month, on time. Meanwhile-this will come as a shock-they didn't pay the wages properly which led to a £1.75 million tax case in 2012. Not to mention that the loan system(when used legally, like what we do)is established throughout world football and is used by some of the biggest clubs going. Man Utd, Liverpool, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid in the past 12 months alone.

It's just the Hibees cheating though eh? Clowns

We need to move on, I understand that on paper and with benefit of 6 months to prepare other teams might appear stronger right now. Fair enough, both hearts and rangers have known for a while they are here, however we are not a team that will rollover and have our bellies tickled, we will continue to support the only team we love, our only team our families love and will be back where we belong before long, let's surprise everyone and show what we can do,

No they don't, without rangers celtic are a certainty to win league therefore a greater chance of getting into champ league, granted it did not work out there way this year when rangers do return to premiership and someone flings a bit cash there way then celtic are no longer guaranteed to have the chance every year by winning the league, there is also the fascination in Glasgow to beat the '9 in a row' they have both achieved

I have been arguing against that for weeks. Where is the evidence? I have also said that I understand that the views of the board may differ greatly from the fans, however what would Rangers in their present state bring to the SPL for Celtic? 2 guaranteed sell outs at Celtic Park.

Every Celtic fan I nkwo wants Rangers dow for a while and would love to win a few more SPL titles before Rangers rear their ugly head in the SPL. Rangers would not be able to compete squad wise and indeed might be heading for another financial meltdown.

And heaven forbid (for Celtic fans) that if Rangers did get back that in their poor financial were somehow able to mount a title challenge, what an embarrassment that would be. Might even force Celtic to spend a lot more than they want to.

Although Celtic this year and last year have failed in the CL I would still bet that money they make out of it and the Europa is a lot more than what they would get from 2 sell-outs at Parkead against Rangers. And it is not as if tv is going to suddenly be throwing huge amounts of money at Scottish Football just because Rangers were back in the top flight.

The vast majority of Celtic fans want Rangers to stay down and suffer in the same way that I feel about Hearts.

We know the board might think differently, however, I think in any country the 'derbies' are not that important, except on the day UNLESS the teams are important. i.e. Man U for years did not care about Man C, until recently. It was all about Arsenal, Chealsea, Liverpool or which ever team was challenging and I think it would be a while before Rangers were putting in a real 'challenge', not a distant second. I admit Scotland has been for years a 2 horse race whereas in England it is a 4 horse race usually.

Just my opinion of course but I do not think it likelty that Celtic want to actaully help Rangers in any way!

****** Rangers and Hearts. They are in a 2 horse race....to be the most odious and detestable clubs in Scotland! And I don't think anyone is about to catch them.

But it would be much more than a couple of sell outs. Have you seen Celtic park since The Rangers have started in the bottom tier? Its half empty every week. It was never like that before because every game mattered. Now they can lose or draw a match and they still know they will eventually romp the league.

Also, you mention twice about what the fans want. When it comes to money, the board don't care about what the fans want. I am convinced that having the Rangers in the top league again would raise more cash for Celtic than a few games in the Europa League every season.

All that being said, I still believe Leigh will be a Hibs player come Monday :-)

Correct, I did mention what the fans wanted and also added that I know that what a clubs board wants can differ greatly from what the fans want. I think the main thrust of the Rangers back in the league argument is that people imagine that they would immediately able to challenge. I think financially they will not be able to and am not convinced they are going to escape further financial trouble and penalties.

I really think Celtic are happy right now with their finances and indeed I heard this mentioned on the radio just a couple of weeks ago. They are making money !!! I did say it was only my opinion but I just don't see Rangers in the SPL as a guaranteed financial windfall for Celtic or indeed any other team. If Rangers were back going toe to toe all the way, of course Celtic crowds would be bigger, but if any other team could mount a serious challenge their crowds would be bigger.

In a few years time, if they survive, we all know who will be the biggest challenger to Celtic but it is not right now and I still think Celtic, including the board, would not do anything to actually 'assist' Rangers in winning the Championship.

I might be well wrong but if we get Grififths it would at least add a little weight to my argument. :greengrin

[LordBamba]

This is from the Scotsmans rumour page

Griffiths linked with Hibernian return

CELTIC striker Leigh Griffiths could be set for a shock return to Easter Road before the transfer window slams shut, it has been revealed.

The 24-year-old has played 15 times for Celtic since joining from Wolves in January, netting seven goals.

But Ronny Deila is reportedly ready to let Griffiths, Kris Commons and Anthony Stokes leave Celtic as he attempts to make his mark on the team.

Griffiths scored 31 goals in 66 matches for Hibs during two loans spells between 2011 and 2013 and despite a host of off-field issues, won the SFWA Footballer of the Year award and was called up for Scotland.

Hibs are looking to bolster their squad before deadline day and have been looking at a number of trialists - but Dutch attacker Donovan Deekman will not be joining the club. (Various)

That could be the issue, but as I said the increase in season tickets and walk up fans would more than cover that .. So a no brainer for me !

I would normally agree but in our 'new era' I really don't think LD will go to Celtic and offer an amount that they know will be unacceptable just to have it come out at a later date that Celtic agreed in principle but it was Hibs lowball offer that prevented it happening.

I am usually a cynic when it come to Hibs and money but I really believe that if we are going for him then we are going for him and really trying to make it happen. Would be too much for most Hibs fans if it did turn out we had made a derisory offer.

I am optimistic that if and I say IF....LG is going on loan he will be coming home !!!

:aok: Can't really disagree with you there

[Pray4Marc]

The fact Alan Stubbs is a close friend of Dermot Desmond from his playing time at Celtic, could be a factor in if any deal is made. Financially we can't afford Leigh, so Celtic or Leigh will have to take a hit in the wages department. My reference with Desmond is that he is a multimillionaire and despises Rangers. I imagine he would get great pleasure from Rangers failing to win the league, or hearts to that matter. Desmond has more of a say at what goes on at Celtic than people think.

Best team in the championship: we would stroll it. That team would be in the top six in the SPFL.

Make it happen.




Defence still lacking, we conceded 2 soft goals to a part time on Tuesday. Lets not got ahead of ourselves.

[Hibs90]

I don't think we would win the league with Sparky in the team but we would defo be up there challenging where as as we are now we have no chance.

Loan deal or permanent deal?

Considering Ross McCormack is going for 11million quid, a few hundred thousand for griffiths would be a great investment.

[Callum_62]

Would be much more confident if we were involved in the play offs too

Christ, just sign him!

This.

I'd love Leigh to come back, because he will do great and give us all a much needed lift, but let's not build him up into being Lionel Messi here, he can't win us the league on his own if we continue giving away soft chances and the like.

I hope we get Leigh, and a couple others, that would be a real statement of intent!

LG, if he comes, will score 30 goals this season.

[Hibby70]

I don't bet (apart from the national) but just opened a sky bet account £10 on Hibs to win league at 12-1 and Sky matched bet so effectively 24-1.

Reckon odds will come down if we sign LG and Sevco go bust.

This is from the Scotsmans rumour page

Griffiths linked with Hibernian return

CELTIC striker Leigh Griffiths could be set for a shock return to Easter Road before the transfer window slams shut, it has been revealed.

The 24-year-old has played 15 times for Celtic since joining from Wolves in January, netting seven goals.

But Ronny Deila is reportedly ready to let Griffiths, Kris Commons and Anthony Stokes leave Celtic as he attempts to make his mark on the team.

Griffiths scored 31 goals in 66 matches for Hibs during two loans spells between 2011 and 2013 and despite a host of off-field issues, won the SFWA Footballer of the Year award and was called up for Scotland.

Hibs are looking to bolster their squad before deadline day and have been looking at a number of trialists - but Dutch attacker Donovan Deekman will not be joining the club. (Various)

Lifted straight from the Evening Times.
