Griffiths loan???

[j'adore hibs]

Would appreciate if SMAXXA or thecat123 could clarify the situation?

SMAXXA already has, as i said on friday it was never going to happen , nor will mcfadden , hibs are looking at other options though

[Gordy M]

Aye but it turns out it was a done deal at the Hibs end of things.
So youre saying hibs have had no contact with celtic and griffiths? And if celtic say he can go then hibs would still have to negotiate with griffiths about wages etc? I was saying that posters had stated that hibs had already put things in place SHOULD celtic release him. I take it you know that not to be the case?

Not disputing that, but there was at least one poster saying it was a done deal. Nothing about it being at the Hibs end only, that it was a done deal....

Then did we all just imagine a few folk saying "Done deal"?


Leigh and agent speak to Dempster, she says, "this how much we can pay you, do you want to come back and be a hero", Leigh says "deffo, ASAP", Dempster says, " right we'll talk to Celtic and see if we can get a deal done with them. "

what's so ****ing hard to understand about that, or is it that you can't stick it on your twitter page that it's as far you know, genuine info.

I don't understand what was "sorted" at the Hibs end, what is there to sort unless you know what you sorting, which you'll only find out if you approach the player's club?

[Velma Dinkley]

how can it be a done deal at one end? it's either both ends or it's not done at all, surely :confused::flag:

[JJP]

Folk should not be having a go at those who shared their info. This was always an ambitious attempt from Hibs and one which could always fail to materialise. Clearly they were right and Hibs were trying to bring LG home. Hopefully we still have other decent options out there because the loss of Farid is massive.

[djs69]

Some folk who claim to know people and know it's a done deal just do it for the attention

At the end of the day this shouldn't be made into a witch hunt.

Folk have shared info they have heard. Things change minute to minute hour to hour.

Quite a few folk with a point the finger/blame culture way of thinking..... Looking for the slightest excuse to rip into someone because their info isn't exactly what had been posted.

Pretty galling really and I wouldn't blame those posters if they didn't post anything on here in the future.

Do you honestly think players don't send their agents to clubs to find out what is on offer, wages/bonuses etc and then if the player is happy, they then go to his parent club and try to get a deal done, if you think it's all above board and ligit nowadays then you are very naive.

Errrr aye ok. So if the Hibs management discuss the scenario where Ronaldo is exactly what we require in attack does that make it a done deal at our end? We want him but it all depends on Real Madrid letting him come? You can argue the semantics if you wish but the bottom line is that yet another ITK has been found out.

Not naive at all, I'm just clarifying that you are saying that Hibs tapped him up.

Even so that particular nuance, involving agents visiting Hibs in clandestine fashion and agreeing a deal at Hibs' end, isn't present here in the post that claimed "deal done".

Post #258, this thread



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!!

It was a done deal with Wolves as well with Griffiths.

This.

There are a few posters on here that I get my hopes up based on their rumours because they get a fair bit right and I appreciate the early notice.
There are a few that are never right and I just ignore them.
But I know absolutely nothing is guaranteed until there is an official announcement and it falling through is not the fault of whoever posted the rumour.

It's also a little counter productive to complain about ITK posters seeking attention by, erm, giving them attention.

[J-C]

;4150136']Deila said nobody is leaving but the big defender gadgey who's rumoured to be going wasn't playing at all today.

said something about his frame of mind etc, usual crap.

[Col2]

We have to realise Celtic, like us and like just about every other football club are into that last crazy 48 hours on transfer window.

So Delia is asked if anyone is moving on and he says no. If he had said maybe or yes then he unsettles players who are not sure if they are staying or going when much of this will be dependant on new players coming on like the serb striker or other targets they have.

The position can and will change constantly over the next 32 hours. As someone said "its not over until the fat lady sings"

[Bleeds green]

Pretty pathetic to have a go at the ITK posters for sharing rumours with us which they made clear were subject to final approval by Septic.

That anger would be better directed at Delia for stopping the move going through so that he can keep Griffiths languishing on the bench because he doesn't rate him.

Reading between the lines I would hazard a guess that it was pretty much a done deal but with Celtic going out the CL it has put the deal for Sepovic on hold and that has had a knock on effect with Leigh.

Hopefully bud. And even if we don't sign Leigh, hopefully we can make a signing nearly as big to give us a much needed lift.

No worries mate, I'm the same as everyone else I just want Leigh back. I'll keep posting any info and it's up to folk to read it or not.

I'll be glued to the phone tomorrow until lunch then radio silence until I land in Lanzarote.

Is it possible you can delay your holiday to Lanzarote for a day at least mate? We need you for all the ITK gossip :(

[snooky]

Exactly what I posted as well a while ago on the MB but folk seem to just pick up on the the negative stuff!

Hibs really have done all they can on this deal and more! As stated it isn't dead just yet there is a lot that can happen in football between now and tomorrow at 11.

Here's a parallel on what's happening - hope the end is the same :greengrin

Haha my good lady may have something to say about that! She's already been warned the first day is a write off as I'll be on my phone most of the day 😄

Off topic, for the Man U fans on here tomorrow is going to be a very busy one! Manager is trying to get a huge overhaul done. Mate is down there now working on 2 deals he says are massive! Will try get names if anyone is interested?

Thanks, I don't post things for attention I post to share like others do. I'm a supporter like everyone else and rumours are just that.

It's easy to keep quiet but that would make a dull rumours thread so while I know Iay get stick, I hope folk can see what I post is from good sources who just pass on what is happening at that time.

[yankyhibby]

The capitulation to Alloa and the manner of that defeat, and the reality of how much change is required has now diminished the excitement at the prospect of LG returning. One quality signing would be a welcome lift, but this in itself will not be enough.

[John_the_angus_hibby]

Not entirely true. One ITK (aye right) poster was telling us it was a done deal.

Correct. A done deal is a "done deal"; it's not one party out of two agrees. That is not a ****ing done deal.

Back to the thread topic

Any movement will be dependant on celtics own transfer day deals

Sparky clearly ain't in their 1st team plans

But they won't let a player of his quality go until they have cover

If Celtic sign a forward player or 2 - we could be in for a treat

Fingers crossed on them strengthening

Its a bold idea, but the club could fork the dosh, and then watch the money flow naturally through the gates. 500 or so extra per home game would just about raise the same cash as what you are suggesting.

In order for this seasons games to be meaningful we pretty much need one thing. Goals. LG gives us that.

Seems so straightforward and a proven track record

[greenginger]

The posters on Kerrydale Street don't seem to have warmed to our Leigh even after his goal today. They don't fancy Stokes either.

They still refer to Griffths as a racist carrot.

That's from a support that lobbed a couple of hundred bananas on to the pitch in front of a black player. But that was just Banter !

Agreed. This is getting close to being a no-brainer for the Hibs hierarchy. A couple more defeats and the season would be a write-of before it has even started, with all that goes with that - even lower crowds, pressure on Stubbs, LD and Petrie ! Unless of course, they're already working to a 2 season promo strategy :wink:

The flaw in the plan is that (like Farid yesterday) he gets injured early doors. What then? I would love us to go out and spend willy-nilly but it is not a particularly wise course of action long term.

Leigh Griffiths: Hibs fail in bid to take Celtic striker on loanhttp://news.bbcimg.co.uk/media/images/60193000/jpg/_60193978_brian1.jpgBy Brian McLauchlinBBC Scotland
Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths is unlikely to rejoin Hibernian on loan, BBC Scotland has learned.
Hibs have contacted Celtic but the Scottish champions are unwilling to allow the player to move.
Scotland international Griffiths, 24, spent two seasons on loan at Easter Road from Wolverhampton Wanderers.
He subsequently joined Celtic in January (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/25977707) for an undisclosed fee and scored his first goal of the season in Sunday's 1-1 draw with Dundee. (http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28917052)
The former Livingston and Dundee forward has been left out of the starting XI for most of Celtic's matches since Ronny Deila took charge but impressed as a substitute at Dens Park.

What a difference 24 hours (or so) can make.

Before the Alloa game here was me thinking Hibs could have a striker partnership of Farid & Leigh. Now, neither of them. I should know by now never to get my hopes up.

Best wishes to Farid bye the way. Hope you make a full and speedy recovery.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Multiple threads on this first time round with Sparky culminated in LWT thoroughly looking into a manager fund. At the time it was debated whether any managers fund could just be about one player? No manager should rightly be dictated to re. players and that could leave a lot of contributing fans disappointed - then what?

Long story short The best way forward emerged in Suzys Leith Links. This is a great cause and roundly welcomed.

but we need to get real, at its height iirc Club86 raised £100k per year. So let's not kid ourselves that despite the inches written, ultimately there is sufficient will for fans to stump up for someone like Leigh.

[ancient hibee]

Think you'll find in last year's accounts there is a loan from the owners of £1.5 million.

Dunno ... probably his way of pointing out that it is vanity and egotistical nonsense for any clubs supporters to expect a player to become a fan of the club the day he signs. Though I'm sure Leigh wouldn't put it exactly that way :greengrin

Very true Matty. I'm reminded of the many posts on here bemoaning no signings and then along came Liam Fontaine with a byword from AS that the deal had been in the making over the last couple of weeks. I'm just hoping we get a couple in tomorrow that may have followed the same timetable

Although Deila has been consistent saying LG was staying I would say that could have been typical posturing, knowing that negotiations even for a loan might happen. However, Celtics refusal might also be that they realise that LG is their best goalscorer and as much as LG is not liked, Deila I think is running scared a little after not starting Commons and not using at (I think) LG in the CL against Maribor and they were eliminated. Now it seems Stokes is the one who 'can get tae ****' going by the Celtic fans I know in Paris. Just as fickle as us!! And yet Deila starts Stokes usually. I think it is their turmoil that has killed off this deal. Had they progressed in the CL, beaten ICT the week before with LG still being a late sub at most then you never know.

Only posting on here from ITK people I object to in hindsight (:wink:) is the one who said LG had a medical at East Mains on Friday!!!

But seriously, I cannot for a second bring myself to blame people who posted here they thought there was a good chance LG was coming here. The Celtic fans I know in Paris just a few days ago thought he was coming here.

I hate to be so down on all this but I fear tomorrow is going to be a long and disheartening day!

Talk of getting him permanently sounds ridiculous to me. Celtic paid around 1m just 7 months ago. They'll want no less than 90% of that back if they were to sell. We'd be bankrupt!

[Thief]

Scepovic's agents playing off Celtic/Getafe for better deal would appear to have scuppered the Leigh deal, especially after his impact on the game today. Think if Scepovic does sign, then there will be a Celtic striker moving on, but think it's more likely to be Stokes :-(
According to post on Twitter, Newcastle have increased their offer on van djiik, so still think there will be few ins and outs at parkhead tomorrow.

Multiple threads on this first time round with Sparky culminated in LWT thoroughly looking into a manager fund. At the time it was debated whether any managers fund could just be about one player? No manager should rightly be dictated to re. players and that could leave a lot of contributing fans disappointed - then what?

Long story short The best way forward emerged in Suzys Leith Links. This is a great cause and roundly welcomed.

but we need to get real, at its height iirc Club86 raised £100k per year. So let's not kid ourselves that despite the inches written, ultimately there is sufficient will for fans to stump up for someone like Leigh.

:agree: :top marks:aok:

Sparky is Going to End up being a Bench Warmer at Celtic.. Just my Opinion..

[My_Wife_Camille]

If a few miserable posters on here that insist on hiding behind the guise of being 'realists' want to 'give it up' and 'move on' then that's fine, they make no difference to anyone anyway.

All that matters is that Hibernian haven't given up yet and they're going right back at Celtic first thing tomorrow trying to make this happen!

Still more to come from this for those who haven't given up or moved on!

[Hibernianinc]

There can't be anyone who thinks today's changed things, can there?

Leigh gets brought on, and scores. Is Deilia going "haud on, this boy's a striker??"

The unwashed know what they have.

Further, if today was a factor, Leigh could have run around like a heidless chicken and done the thick end of eff all ( like most of our current squad) and made it damn clear he has no interest in the tims over us.

Nope, it'll happen IF they get someone they like better.

Perhaps.:wink:

Herald saying the Serb striker Scopovic has pulled out of the Celtic deal. That could really end our chances of getting Griffiths.

I wonder if the fact that the scepovic deal fell through for Celtic had any baring on the LG deal. Will be interesting to see what happens if Celtic sign a striker today. You just never know on deadline day. I shall live in hope.

Never really bought into the numerous done deal posts re Griffiths, but one thing this did was liven up a dark dismal period in hibs history.

I kept well away from this thread. Far too many 'in the know' posters who I saw no reason to disbelieve.

I have had an update this morning and can confirm that the loan deal is 100% off. Celtic lost out on 2 attacking targets (The Serb being one) and Delia wants him.

fact remains that as of 12pm Friday the deal was agreed, but as the old saying goes, things change very quickly in football, and for reasons outwith both Hibs' and LG's control the plug has been well and truly pulled on the deal.

Really????.......You obviously have not read anything previous as we already know the deal is off. :greengrin

The fact he says Delia wants him would equally suggest that we would need to meet their valuation of him.

I have read it, but I have now heard it first hand from source so passing it on, as have done with previous information.


Also "The Businessmen" in question who were to be part funding the deal were only interested in funding that deal too.

I've got a great idea! Why don't we get all the season ticket money that we were promised would be spent on the playing squad, and use it to bid for Leigh? As far as I'm aware we haven't actually spent any of it yet so say 6500 ST's at an average of £200, that's £1.3 mil, I'm away to email Dempster and Stubbs! Thank me later lads (and lass's) :aok:

[KeithTheHibby]

I heard the deal was in serious doubt on Saturday afternoon. I would imagine by this time Celtic had been told that the Serb wasn't joining them which resulted in the griffiths deal being pulled.
Could it not be the case that Celtic have other targets in mind and if they get them the deal could be back on? Straw clutching I know but logically this could happen.

Everything points to Celtic still wanting a striker, so you never know. If Leigh wants to come home, then they may have to let him as they wouldn't want an unhappy player on their hands. Where's all the folk so know him, or stay next to him in Wallyford/Porty? Get him telt that he's needed and loved and would be the main main for his team and try and force it through!

As the old adage states - 'if you don't ask, you don't get!'

[1987kev]

Celtic just selt there best player in commons. We could get sparky for transfer fee million pound I think would do it. We prob lose that if we stay in this league next season.
