I genuinely have no idea what your issue is with me. The info I posted on Leigh was correct at the time. All was done but Celtic pulled the plug at last min. Even the press ran the story I had said the day before.

I'd told folk about Butcher and Liam Fontaine along with other snippets about when we went for Wylde and how Bolton shafted us on it. Not asking you to believe me that's up to yourself, but the way you constantly have digs is baffling me!

Or if your just winding me up as a joke then I've bit!

Indeed Ronnie. The lad just wants to play but I don't think it matters what he does he'll never fit in there at the moment with the current regime..... "Not fit enough", "Not in right frame of mind", "Doesn't suit system we wanted to play today"..... Excuse after excuse.

Hopefully something sorted sooner rather than later.

If we did sign Leigh, he'd have to bide his time and wait for an injury or a drop in form from one of our strikers. We are not having much trouble scoring goals, and i'm struggling to see just who he'd replace?

Lol

[mjhibby]

Laughable that that Delia smith says lg is not fit enough. Everybody who knows anything about Leigh knows he is ultra competitive even in training so to say that is a smokescreen at best. I think it is more to do with how they want to play their strikers and Leigh doesn't fit the bill. For Leigh to be effective you need to have him right on the shoulder of the last man as his superb goal for sellick at the pbs showed. I'm sure Collins,while I've plenty time for him,isn't helping the man management side either. Ironically griffiths seemed to relate to Neil Lennon as when he scored at the pbs. Leigh needs to be handled in a certain way by the manager and reminds of one of the wee guys in the team that I coach. Headstrong,stroppy but if you channel them the right way capable of superb performances that have the mums and dads watching purring with appreciation. I've no doubt Leigh is enormously hard work but when a guy can score an extraordinary goal out of nothing as against Falkirk in the semi or the free kick at the pbs is is worth the hassle. Please god he doesn't become wasted like deek or Garry. Let's just get him home and let home run riot,to coin a phrase, in the championship. Life's not all about money and I'm sure Leigh and thousands of hibs fans would be much happier if he was where he is comfortable and where he could make a big big impact in Scottish football. As to whether it happens I'm not sure as I was told it was Collins blocking the deal,but let's hope for Leigh's sake he gets something sorted so he doesn't end up another wasted great Scottish talent. Rant over.

RONNY DEILA refused yesterday to rule out the option of Leigh Griffiths joining Hibs on loan.....:wink:

Am I right in thinking it's the first time this has been commented on by Celtic?? Fingers crossed there's something in all this this time but I won't hold my breath!

[SanFranHibs]

RONNY DEILA refused yesterday to rule out the option of Leigh Griffiths joining Hibs on loan.....:wink:

where did he say that? Not saying he did not. Just been googling it and cannot find it. Found this which I am sure everyone here has read.



Thought even the headline is poor reporting. 'Out of Form'? Out of favour, yes. If you are not starting it is pretty harsh especially when the last time you were called upon you rescued a point for them. Says 1 goal in 7, but how many starts? There is no substitution for playing time and it's not as if he is getting a few run outs in the U20's to get him fit! Going to the gym and bulking up a little or running on the treadmill is not going to get him match fit. Matches get you fit that is why's it called 'match fit'.



“He really wants to succeed at Celtic. He’s at a very big club, he knows it and this is his chance,” said Deila. “Wanting is one thing, but knowledge is another.

“You have to see all of the time if you have the attitude or the knowledge. Playing matches is important, but being a 24-hour athlete is important as well.

What you do in matches is important, but you have also to be very aware of what you do every day in training and off the pitch. There have been no problems with Leigh off the pitch, but he needs to get fitter


Sounds like he should be going to the library and not the gym! If there are no problems off the pitch and we have to assume he is doing the training that Delia and 6-Pak Collins have designed for the squad then how do you get match fit? Play matches, not just 10 minutes at the end of a game that might already be lost or won and winding down. And if he is not doing what he should at training then that is between the coaching staff and LG, not a newspaper filler and fuel for the rumour mill. And if the training is well designed and LG is doing everything they demand at training then surely that is it ASSUMING he is not leaving training and downing a few pints of lager and a haggis supper on the way home or staying up all night playing on his Xbox or staggering in at 3 in the morning from the Glasgow nightclubs. I am sure others here would have more knowledge of his lifestyle than I do (which is zero) but I have never heard any rumour that he hits the drink or pisses around and indeed RD says there is no problem whatsoever with him off the pitch. So what the hell is he talking about? 'Look inside himself, gain the knowledge'. He's Sparky, not Grasshopper.

I confess when I saw Leigh come on as a sub against Dundee Utd (game already won) he did look a bit slow out of the trap and I commented on it at the time but it seemed to be accepted that he was recovering from a flu/illness. Looked lively enough against Dundee when he came on. Maybe LG is not responding well to being droppped and is slacking and feeling somewhat pissed off at not being a regular but I think it is safe to say whilst at Wolves, Hibs, Wolves again and then Celtic under Lennon LG seemed fully committed and bursting with energy.

Deila, if you want him fit send him our way and he will get plenty of game time!!

:flag:

P.S. just found the more recent Daily Record report.

http://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/celtic-star-leigh-griffiths-warned-4291241

Interesting how the Telegraph was published before the Record one and how differently the statement/interview has been reported. Obviously the 24 hour athlete is still the main thrust of both articles but no 'out of form' subheader in the Record report and no 'look inside himself' in the Telegraph report. Don't these guys ever read Hibs.Net?


Ok, that is my LG nonsense of the day out of the way.

I know it is not just about posting on here. I have to be a 24 hour .netter, take care of myself off the computer, join a typing school, get my eyes tested. I am off to look inside myself and gain the knowledge so I can become a better Hibs.netter.

Hopefully back online in time for the game today!

Are we sure about this? Any of his 'associates' on here able to confirm this?

We don't know what has been said between him and RD whose latest interview/statement can be interpreted differently. He might consider loaning him out to a Championship team but on the other hand LG is still part of his plans and it is up to LG to fight his way into the first team. Is it just a case of LG going into a cream puff because he is now a 'bit player'?

Of course I am biased and want him back at ER but I really feel it is in our interest (mostly) in Celtics interest because he would get fit and score goals which make sit easier to offload him in January getting as much of their money back as possible, and for LG who would at least get playing time, get fully fit and score goals which helps him in January.

But maybe LG is the stumbling block! Maybe the Championship has no appeal for him and he might be thinking it would only take an injury or two in the Celtic forward line or a bad couple of games for them and he would be back in the mix.

Maybe we just have to face it. Heffernan is the man !!!! :greengrin

[Eyrie]

Given our non-performances on the pitch just now, I'd actually be concerned for Griffiths about whether he can live up to the expectations that he can be our messiah.

And if he does, how long before some hoofball pub team decides to crock him?

[emerald green]

Leigh Griffiths isn't a miracle worker. Even if by some miracle he came back to Hibs, it's ridiculous to think or expect that he can carry this squad of non performing players on his back, yet again.

How often has it been said in the past that it often doesn't work out for a player when he returns to a former club?

Don't get me wrong, I would welcome LG back, but a reality check is needed too.

The only way I can see out of the mess this club is in on the pitch is through major investment in the playing squad. The problem with that is there is no money available for such major investment, otherwise why did the club only sign the players it did, along with the now familiar loan signings?

The financial situation is only going to get worse as more and more fans call it a day (some perhaps to be lost permanently).

The current owner is not going to say to LD or AS... "how would you like two or three million pounds in January to fund the signing and wages of 3 or 4 really top pros?"

[erin-go-bragh87]

Looks like he's playing today going by his tweet this morning??

[Hibeesmad]

[GGTTH07]

[Gus Fring]

Maybe now all the doubting thomases that say he'd be daft to leave SPL and European football will realise this is actually a good move for him because right now he's not playing at all and that will hurt his career worse than playing and scoring regularly for a lower league team.

[Hermit Crab]

If he doesn't sign tomorrow as per scoopboys post about this being a possibility, I think he's a cert to line up against hearts in the cup match coming up in midweek.

The fact he has been left out today's squad suggests one of two things

He is going on loan somewhere

or. He isn't trying in training and has been dropped till he gets his act together .

He is too good a player not to be playing so am prepared to at least believe this could be on this time but like all the other rumours it is just that till its announced .
The fact RD mentioned it during the week also gives me some hope .

Wouldn't do the guy behind him any harm to make sure as well

To late for him, he has morning sickness already. :greengrin

[GORDONSMITH7]

A Celtic supporting amigo from Carluke just text me with 'Hibees are to get Leigh Griffiths on emergency loan'. Phoned him and he said he heard it at Darkheid today. Might be mince and tatties but thought I should share (as he clutches desperately at straws) By the way I think that there has been precedent of folk going on loan outwith the Windae as long as it was to a club outwith the SPL. Could be very wrong on both counts.

I called it hours ago :wink:

Denied it weeks ago though????

[hibees 7062]

Lots of Celtic fans on twitter saying that he has signed.....

Lots of us saying the same on here :wink:

They should start selling Hibs johnies .
Probably be better with HFC printed on them rather that Hibernian. Birds would think my name was Ian :greengrin

Just read article by Stubbs saying there is no quick Fix to our situation .If he knew we were in process of signing Leigh on loan you would of thought he wouldn't have said that . If this is just another Wynd up its not going to be amusing this time given how badly we clearly need him

[Gus Fring]

To reiterate to anyone who is still confused about the emergency loan rules, there is absolutely nothing in them preventing this loan from happening. The only restriction will be on the length. He's not even cup tied

[AlbertK86]

Too late for what? The season has just started.
And we're 10 points behind already with no leaders and a mince defence

I find it hard to get excited by these rumours any more. Already been let down so many times and that's just in the last few weeks.

It'll be great to have our hero back for a few months on emergency loan.
We need emergency wins and emergency points.

What a day!

First Sergey's horse tip romps home at 17/2, then I arrive at my hotel in Newcastle to find that my booking agent mistakenly agreed a price of £27 instead of £72,but they're taking the hit.

Then, the hotel receptionist gives me a £1 bar voucher free and tells me it's happy hour all night on a Sunday.

It's a luck of the draw thing, with a button you have to push to stop a screen on a happy hour deal.

So far I've has 2 pints at 25% off, one half price and one free!

Then I get a text from Sergey telling me he's bringing jellied eels for me when we go to the Ryder Cup on Friday (we're guests of the USPGA).

And now Super Leigh is coming home.

If Carlsberg made Sundays!

Thanks, I guess.

More good news is I just got 2 for one in the happy hour.

I didn't want 2 more so I got one half price.

Good ole boy served me, obviously. Very good.

[silverhibee]

If Griffiths signs then i will be up to Dingwall on Tuesday.

Not had a Wimpey's for ages, looking forward to it on Tuesday. :wink: :greengrin

[GreenLake]

Tomorrow I begin a very specific diet which I have been planning from a few weeks back cooked by these guys (http://www.californiachef.com). Leigh Griffiths signing is sure to send me out on a bender and scupper things before day one is even over. Therefore, I am going to assume these rumors are true and celebrate tonight instead.:greengrin

Welcome back to Hibs Leigh.:flag:

[hibs4thecup1988]

Chances are he won't be playing Tuesday. Celtic won't want him cup tied for going back to them in December. League games only.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

So today's the day according to many

Hears hoping

[CRAZYHIBBY]

In the celtic news this morning that hes coming

[Ronniekirk]

I now have to go wash my phone I hate that website

[Steve20]

If you can only have a maximum of three months, does that mean we would need to sign him permanently in January to keep him? Or can you negotiate another three month loan deal afterwards?

[PeterboroHibee]

I think the 'emergency' loan just covers you outwith the transfer window. You can then renegotiate a deal, whether permanent or a loan extention, with the parent club in January

Just hope he hits the ground sprinting if we pull this off.....another 25 yard spectacular against the yams would do me

[edinburghhibee]

I'm just adding weight to what others have said on here already but it's looking like this is happening today. Some small paperwork issues to be ironed out but everything is moving along fine ATM. Sparkys due at lennoxtown around 1030hrs so we prob won't hear anything until lunch time. Still keeping my fingers crossed until he's been revealed by the hibees!!

[Billy Whizz]

I agree

[Ronniekirk]

Record now reporting it.....see newsnow
Cheers That's what happens when you get up too early and then spend ages posting lots of diatribe on another thread ,venting my feelings . But that's Hibs ,if I didn't care I wouldnt be going back , threatening to stay away ,but then going back Perseverve may be the Leith Motto but it's also applicable to being a Hibby these days

[calumhibee1]

Just hope he hits the ground sprinting if we pull this off.....another 25 yard spectacular against the yams would do me

Another 25 yarder? The free kick was closer to 35.. both free kicks infact. :agree:

[SanFranHibs]

Plus the 2 yards over the line!!

[Diclonius]

Chances are he won't be playing Tuesday. Celtic won't want him cup tied for going back to them in December. League games only.

I doubt Celtic will want him for the rest of the season.

[SanFranHibs]

Chances are he won't be playing Tuesday. Celtic won't want him cup tied for going back to them in December. League games only.

I doubt Delia is concerned with Leigh's League Cup eligibilty.

If he was concerned about LG getting LC or SC cup-tied surely it would have to be written into the contract between the two clubs because if we beat Ross he could play in the next round and of course he could play in the early Scottish Cup rounds.

Am I right in saying he can play in any competition unless Celtic do insist on a pre-nuptial?

Also, I think once he goes on loan then that is it between him and Celtic. Simialr to the Wolves situation, where he returned after playing well for us and was actually their top scorer in his final spell with them and they still punted him.

P.S. If Deila was smart he would keep him until after LG had banged in one or two against them this week as he must be aware of LG's penchant for scoring beautiful free kicks against them. That I could see.

[chrisski33]

Hooe u comes but we cant rely on one guy! Imagine he gets injured in first 5mins of his first game? He will be a big boost IF he comes.

[kevo1875]

He will be a massive lift for the fans and hopefully his passion for hibs might rub off on others in the changing room.

[Stewboy]

Hooe u comes but we cant rely on one guy! Imagine he gets injured in first 5mins of his first game? He will be a big boost IF he comes.

With our luck I would take 5 minutes!

[greenpaper55]

It will take more than LG returning to us to sort our problems, he might get a goal every other game that is if the ball ever reached him but that will not sort out our defensive shortcomings or our lack of movement and fitness.

[Bad Martini]

It will take more than LG returning to us to sort our problems, he might get a goal every other game that is if the ball ever reached him but that will not sort out our defensive shortcomings or our lack of movement and fitness.
It was Griffiths that stopped us being relegated under Fenton, with the same issues papered over you mention above.

We've been relying on our forwards too much since Riordan and O'Connor were chipping in 40 goals between them....

[calumhibee1]

It will take more than LG returning to us to sort our problems, he might get a goal every other game that is if the ball ever reached him but that will not sort out our defensive shortcomings or our lack of movement and fitness.

Griffiths would score over 30 in this league if he was given a full season. I'd still be surprised to see him finish on less than 20 if we could get him here for the whole season. He had nothing to work with when he was here last time and just went and done it all alone, he would do the same again against weaker opposition IMO.:agree:

[Gus Fring]

We want them to pay 50% of his wages and they're only willing to pay 30%. Petrie is actively involved in negotiations apparently

Rod should politely explain that if he stays they'll be paying 100% of his wages and he still won't be playing for them.

[Diclonius]

Is that not against the rules of loans? Parent club has to pay more than that? As for the petrie bit I don't believe it at all.

Source?

another point is that it's also been reported that its private investors paying his wages so why would petrie be involved?

When someone starts spraffing about info on wage pecentages etc then it's generally p1sh info, there's no one on here who will have knowledge of things like that, hence why some people should think before they post, otherwise we'd get hundreds of posts a day telling us their mate said this that or the other.

What LOI could have said in his initial post was that he'd been told it might not happen but wasn't too sure how reliable his source was, then we'd not be questioning him. He's a nice lad who does well at his wee TV interviews etc but there are many genuine ITK guys on here who are saying otherwise re Griffiths and I'll listen to them 1st as they've been spot on in the past.

I hear things all the time but only ever post when I know it's genuine or when it's being confirmed by other well known ITK guys, my info I used to get came from a well known player/coach who now plays for Falkirk, he was a good mate but I aint interested in Falkirk now :greengrin nowadays I hear very little as a lot has changed at EM.

Wow, think you should take a deep breath. Hibs are trying to get him and have been for a while now. That's 100% fact. The press know it, agents know it and players know it.

Hibs were so close last time as it was done until
Celtic pulled the plug! If you don't want to believe it then prob best staying off this thread.

You heard anything Cat ? oh and by the way hope you had a great holiday.

When someone starts spraffing about info on wage pecentages etc then it's generally p1sh info, there's no one on here who will have knowledge of things like that, hence why some people should think before they post, otherwise we'd get hundreds of posts a day telling us their mate said this that or the other.

What LOI could have said in his initial post was that he'd been told it might not happen but wasn't too sure how reliable his source was, then we'd not be questioning him. He's a nice lad who does well at his wee TV interviews etc but there are many genuine ITK guys on here who are saying otherwise re Griffiths and I'll listen to them 1st as they've been spot on in the past.

C'mon J-C, it's a message board where folk can post what they hear, no need to have a go at the guy for passing on what he has heard.

Pretty sure they have got things wrong as well.

Care to venture any wild speculation as to how likely it is to happen today?

Nothing new, I was just told it would be done this week. Not heard there's been any hiccups or that but will have to just wait and see.

Cheers hol was great, sitting at my desk now feeling like I could cry though 😩

That's harsh J-C, we all hear our info from someone, but never say who.

Many of the older yins need to remember we were all young, enthusiastic laddies and lasses just many without the minefield of the internet... What's more this young and enthusiastic laddie has got off his erchie got access to and provided some insights others can only dream of.

Let's give everyone a fair crack of the whip (as that Jambo said to his missus ;))

I've no idea so not going to lie. As I said I'd heard we'd be getting him this week, wasn't told deal would be done by today or that. Be great if it was.

Really hope Celtic don't stop it a second time!

If I were Celtc and wanted to get a better deal on the loan I let Hibs stew a day or two and see if there's a movement on what we'll stretch to. Celtc don't have an Agm coming up and no time pressures to off load. Hibs on the other hand...

If we manage to sign LG today what would it mean in terms of possible revenue for the club? Would it increase gates at ER by 1000 per match? If so this would equate to $20000, give or take, per home game. This sort of extra revenue means that we could afford to pay LG heaps a dosh and we would be climbing the league table to safety/promotion. plus extra merchandise sales as a bonus. LG would be good for business.

:aok:

So are you the Jambo on the wind up then TC ;-)

[Haymaker]

This endless debate about sources and who's in the know is getting as tiresome as the results on the pitch.

:agree: can we just get the thread back on :hyper: track?

Ssshhhhh Aldo you will blow my cover :greengrin

[Hermit Crab]

Not getting my hopes up now after many recent disappointments but it would be nice if we signed him. Any more updates from our ITK guys on here? :aok:

[ManBearPig]

have I missed something and now its not happening again!!

Aye, Celtic have pulled the plug on the deal in a row over wages. Guess who else is involved in negotiations? (all alleged, not confirmed)

Or you can just read the last 3 pages of the thread and draw you own conclusions?:greengrin

It was when he started to talk about what percentage of wages we offered and what Celtic wanted that was when it got silly, no one knows these details and would never be told them by a mate he knows. If he'd just said that a mate told him there may be problems with the loan, then we'd have all thanked him for the info and hoped his mate was a bullshi-tter, then all this would not be posted.

Yes peeps have got things wrong in the past but they also put in their posts that as you know things may and can go wrong with the deals and a lot of these guys have a lot of previous for getting very good info.

I dount Celtic would want him cup tied so it's probably in our interests to sign him later in the week as we're only getting him on a max 3 months loan. That way his last game would be the Huns on the 27th. :agree:
