Do the players going on loan have any say as to where they go on loan or can they just turn around and say I'm not going there, I'm wanting to go there or nowhere at all.

Yes they can refuse but face being frozen out the squad if they do that.

Absolutely.

Unless he is trying to work his ticket.

Stokes could be his stumbling block, when Hibs tried to punt him round the British Isles it was only Celtic that showed any interest.

Was told of this last week, source very reliable. However I was asked to keep quiet on it until anything became public. Fingers x info I recieved is correct as source has been bang on in any stories (football wise) about Leigh in the past.

Interesting Scoopy. Hadn't realised Hibs had 'tried to punt him'? His off-field reputation even then preceding him?...

Come on now HC, not your usual LG optimism :greengrin

Seems highly improbable except Celtic's manager seems to be making some 'courageous' moves even in his team selection. You drop one of your best players, Commons, against ICT to save him for the big CL game and then don't start him?

This may be the usual rubbish but sign me up !! LG threads, like Riordans a few years ago are more fun and it does no harm to hope.

And just remember who LG loves and who loves him !

He wants a high pressing game at Celtic and both Commons and Stokes are a bit lazy that way, Leigh's different just isn't liked ny Collins seemingly and also not by their wonderful fans.

Van Dyke's been expecting to go this window anyway as he's by far the best player ther apart from Commons.

Was speaking to a season ticket holder at darkheid, app the players like and have bought into what dalia is trying to do, collins is not so popular. Certainly seems to be 'clearing out' the club for whatever reason.

I suppose they can say they want to stay and fight for a place in the team, but if the manager wants you out and there's no chance of game time there agent will try to work a deal for the client to go to a club of there choice depending if the club can agree to pay what celtc ask for.

Or the players could sit tight and hope that the manager gets sacked and is replaced by someone who might play them.

That was my thinking SH, Griffiths is a home boy and has his kids who he adores, Celtic was an easy option for him at the time as he missed them and he was able to still live in Edinburgh, he'll like what's been happening with Stubbs and the players already in ( Gray, Allan, Fontaine, El Alagui ) the passing football and the chance to be a hero at his beloved Hibs again and get them promotion, especially at the expence of Hearts and The Rangers.

As posted before, heard this from a couple of trusted sources and it was interesting that Delia said before the CL game that a couple would be going out on loan... Could this mean Griffiths. I certainly believe that Hibs have made moves.

Ha ha, exactly how I feel. Haven't been this hyper about a Hibs signing since we brought Deeks back from Celtic.

It's the boost the club and supporters need, I've been impressed by Stubbs despite some disappointing results and think he could be just the man to get the best out of Leigh.

Had also heard a bit on this but was then told that Peter Lawwell had pulled the plug. However, since then Celtic have signed more players and confirmed the arrival of the guy from Spain so deal back on, especially with the financial hit of missing on the CL.

Got to say - I believe what I heard from where I heard it (been right on some other things as well).

Welcome home Leigh!!!!

Fully expect to look a t** come Tuesday if this doesn't happen, but I'll take my chances. In registering for the Fans Forum next week I said amongst other things I wanted an answer that would convince me and many other recently lapsed Season Ticket diehards (it took a long time but I admit they finally did kill off me going back to Easter Road though I did go to the PBS) to return. THIS would do it.

My second request was for the Board to raise a motion of no confidence in its Chairman, but I'll settle for this for starters.

Why wait for half seasons, surely it cant be that hard to come up with an offer for the remainder of the season with the two home games already played being deducted.
If and this is a very big if, the Wee man came home, i am sure an offer like this would be snapped up by thousands of supporters and therefore generate a large lump sum right away, which could be the difference between getting him and not getting him?

But until the club comes up with an offer, it's walk up or half season.

NEVER , EVER, in all the years I have been supporting the Hibs [56 of them] Have I wanted us to sign a player as much as I WANT this to happen. PLEASE Hibs, pull out ALL the stops and make it happen.

As for purchasing a S/T If it did happen 'course I would - already have one but, f it, I would be so excited I'd buy another one

Please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please oh please.

I will buy a season ticket and a child season ticket for this signing alone. I cannot afford it and it would be a bl00dy sore one but if Hibs show the commitment then I'm in too.

There are very few silver bullets for anything in life but I genuinely believe that bringing Leigh back would instantly kill a lot of the pain from the last few years. I also think that signing him would virtually guarantee at least a play-off place because I think he would score for fun in this league.

This is exactly how I see it. Doesn't matter how well talks go and in principle things get agreed. Until the player signs no deal is done. I've seen players in a managers office with 2 hours left to go about to sign and had a call and they have walked.

Money talks guys and Leigh may get a better deal elsewhere and might fancy it. But what I will say is Hibs from what was said to me is everything is in place and agreed it's down to the guys at Celtic to give the green light!

Of course. This is all 'rumour' although it would seem to be the case that things are happening at Parkhead. Commons not startting in the CL and rumours that he wants away, RD signing more players and it seems that they are not too happy with the attitude of some of their players.

Just hope that if there is any fallout at Parkhead a certain little player falls our way !!

I have googled 'Griffiths loan hibs' a few times in the past week just to see what came up and their was only one thread, not on the main Celtic forum, that Griffiths was coming here for one year. That was posted on the 14th. However the other Celtic fans said it was not true.

But I think something like this would not break until it actually happened. Looks like RD is trying to stamp himself on the Celtic squad. Get rid of 'undesirables'.

What does it mean that the deal is agreed on our end?

Rod: Alan, would you like to sign Leigh Griffiths?

Alan: Yes.

Rod: Then it's agreed. I'll call Celtic and see what they say.

I'm sure Griffiths would be delighted to come back. Surely hibs see the value in bringing him back on loan, the increased gate money would cover his wages easily you would think. Don't think Rod will be keen on paying all those extra win bonuses though!;)

Rod who


How many forward thinking players have Celtic got/ signed?

The only one that matters is their forward thinking CEO


Hibs board would be...
D-U-M-B if they didnt sign Sparkee!

If he HAS spoken to AS then someone at Celtic must have given the ok for Leigh to do so. Only do that if not happy with the player at parent club.

Absolutely nailed on :agree:

If we don't sign him: FFS Petrie, GTF, show some ambition FFS etc etc

If we do: Great piece of business from LD, finally the club being run by someone with some ambition etc etc

Your source must be very similar or in close circles as mine as she was with him yesterday and the info is a wee bit deceloped on your post. I have divulged Info on the 'businessmen' on the PM board which would back that up

Just a thought, has the guy that won all those millions on the lottery been approached with a view to helping with the wage ? If I won £12.5 million I sure as hell would give Hibs the cash for an outright transfer.

Celtic seem to be / will be the main problem with this deal, no doubts that hibs would take griffiths in a heartbeat and he's come home in a heart beat. Hopefully tied up before Mondays or is the loan window longer than the transfer one?

If Griffiths happens to be playing for us when they next pay a visit, I think a rebuttal of their banner which was about LG would be appropriate.

P.S. Yes I know, I posted this photo earlier but more appropriate now that we have a 'banner thread'.

Would be delighted if this comes to anything but the cynical side of me thinks we have a series of fan consultation meetings where this will be raised if he doesn't come to us on loan but goes somewhere else .
A bit like when we were told rod had flown down personally to meet Wolves Directors to push through a deal but we all knew that it had been left to the last minute and wasn't going to happen .
So could be more of that, we met with Celtic made our best offer but We just couldn't get the deal done and x pipped us to him .x being whichever club he goes out on loan to .
Am not getting my hopes up even with cat calling it 70 / 30 in our favour But as with Fontaine if he has called this right he may have propelled himself to the top of tHe ITK posters .might see what odds at bookies you get on this happening .
Moan The Cat please be right on this one .

Celtic st holder told me management do not think Leigh is physically strong enough to lead the line on his own, which is seemingly, the way they want to play. Perhaps JC will do us a favour.

I would LOVE for Griffiths to come to us, and the buzz around the club would be fantastic.

But surely no one thinks that Celtic can afford to jeopardise Rangers returning next season? :crazy:

OR

Do Celtic fear that Rangers could actually challenge next season? :pray:

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

Rangers are doing their best to **** up their finances and fail to be promoted this season. Even if they get promoted they are so ****ed their challenge will be pitiful at best.

Their gates may be down but not I would guess their season ticket sales.Additionally while Rangers have been away Celtic have been picking up an extra £15M each time they've got through in the Champions League.Doubt they want Rangers to jeopardise that.

Sadly Celtic will still be tempted by the one/two extra full houses they'll get off the back of it.

Still though, logic can go **** itself :hyper:

Without rangers, celtic are guaranteed champions league football and the money that comes with it. Their squad seems in disarray at the moment, I'm sure they wouldn't mind waiting another season to play rangers in the league with a stronger squad...
