Sounds like a rip off to me, final year or not. He's worth more.

[JeMeSouviens]

Er Haud oan a minute. From 600K to 275K????

The 600k is prob what they've agreed to pay for Allan. Subtract Dylan and the loan fee plus wages from that and you probably get to about 275?

[Hibeesmad]

Sounds like a rip off to me, final year or not. He's worth more.

I agree that he is probably worth more face value but with getting McGeough who could grow to be worth £500k-£1m and also getting Liam Henderson on loan to help us gain promotion. We could even get something else out of the £275,000

[Mikey09]

Mackay Steven only had 6 months left. Armstrong had at least 2 years left I think.


Thanks. Still think Allan is worth more. Top player and if he goes to Celtic and gets his chance he will turn into a multi million pound player.

[Mr White]

Sounds like a rip off to me, final year or not. He's worth more.

Saves a **** load of bother this way. 2 players and some cash and the end to quite a damaging episode? Result imo.

That doesn't sound like a good deal to me, even if we are getting McGeouch on a permanent deal and Liam Henderson on a loan deal.

It also seems a bit odd that Celtic would be loaning him out to a Scottish Championship side, a few months after he was on loan at a team that's currently competing in the Europa League.

Hope so. We could still be doing with adding in other areas.

Kerrydale st don't rate McGregor at all. They seem to think Henderson is a prospect though.

[greenlad]

Is Henderson a worse deal than McGregor? What position does he play?

Would say better. Very slight technical player who plays behind the forwards and scores the odd goal. Surprised if he's not a regular at Celtic within 2 years.

[ElginHibbie]

Think both midfield, apparently we asked for Henderson as part of deal Celtic tried to swap it for McGregor but we stood firm... or so says Twitter

[high bee]

It also seems a bit odd that Celtic would be loaning him out to a Scottish Championship side, a few months after he was on loan at a team that's currently competing in the Europa League.

We were losing Allan at the end of the season for nowt and in his place we get Henderson, a highly rate youngster who has impressed at a higher level. On top of that we get McGeouch that we have been trying to get for a while and we get £275k on top. Sound like a great deal.

Doesn't matter if SA is a £10mil player in a few years cause we were never gonna get solid money for him.

[Stevie Reid]

Kerrydale st don't rate McGregor at all. They seem to think Henderson is a prospect though.

Cheers man. Know their names from on here, but that's it.

[Sir David Gray]

Is Henderson a worse deal than McGregor? What position does he play?

He's a midfielder.

Do Celtic not have any defenders we could take off their hands instead? We're woefully short of numbers at the back so we could be doing with adding a defender or two before the end of the month.

I hear Virgil Van Dijk's future is uncertain at the moment. :greengrin

[God Petrie]

We get a player we wanted plus a replacement for Allan plus cash in exchange for a player who doesn't want to play for us.

I don't know how people can think this is a bad deal.

I agree 100%. If true, this is about the best outcome for all concerned.

[Mikey09]

Central mid as well I think. Not as good as McGregor in my opinion but still a good player.

[Stevie Reid]

Great comments on that Rangers MB - the one about this deal being a worse one than if we'd let him go to them is a belter! So we get more money, and a couple of players AND don't strengthen our biggest rivals, and that's a worse deal?

Ok pal.

[SneakersO'Toole]

Nail on the head.

Plus it is the best GIRUY to our championship rivals. Its a no brainer IMO.

[Hibernia&Alba]

I know what you're saying, but Celtic are getting a bargain at 275K plus McGeough, if that is the arrangement. He could be a terrific player for them for many years, and 275K doesn't go far these days.

[GreenCastle]

Will Dylan be match fit ?

Really hope this saga comes to a conclusion tomorrow - been dragging on far too long.

[B.H.F.C]

Maybe not 100% but at least he'll have had a proper pre season training wise. Surely played a few games as well, even if it's been for their development team.

We have to be realistic. Dundee Utd offered us less cash 8 months ago when he had just started with us. Now we're getting more money plus a player AS obviously rates & it appears a loanee. There will also be a sell on deal for SA. I think it's a win/win.

[high bee]

It is potentially a bargain, however we are not in a position to massively profit from his sale, his value to us is stumped by his contract length.

Realistically the most we could get is £600k elsewhere then we have to find someone to buy or loan of a good standard or we keep our best player for a year (with the chance of it getting even messier when pre contracts are signed not to mention every visit to ipox) then we lose him for nothing.

Instead we replace our best player with potentially our new best player, one of our main targets and a lump of cash that we can still fund a player or two with.

[Northernhibee]

A massive GIRUY to any Sevcoites looking in and a similar GTF to Scott Allan. Hope the wee troublemaker finds himself on the bench for the season.

Great business from Hibs if true.

[S4uzee]

I think 400-£500k would've been a better deal. A bit of a steal at 275k IMO

[Carheenlea]

Scott Allan in a Celtic shirt would be equally as nauseating as seeing him in a Rangers strip. With Celtic declaring their intention to buy up any Scottish talent that's half decent, then we are just further contributing to a domestic game dominated by one club. Rangers will be back in a few years in a position of strength more powerful than it is at present and the circus rolls on. **** Rangers and **** Celtic.

[3pm]

This won't happen.

[Sir David Gray]

Will Dylan be match fit ?

Really hope this saga comes to a conclusion tomorrow - been dragging on far too long.

Hopefully.

It would be annoying if we signed another player that couldn't play for a few weeks after signing.

[Pete]

Is this really happening or is it just rumour? This is definitely the lesser of two evils when it comes to feeding a Glasgow club but we're getting a good deal.

If true then this could galvanise us.

[bill the hibby]

This won't happen.

Seems like it already is

[green day]

I think 400-£500k would've been a better deal. A bit of a steal at 275k IMO

But its not £275. It's reported at £275 plus DM, and a loan of a decent player.

We could have sold him for £500k and not got DM.

We could have accepted an offer from Rotherham and he told us to bolt then signed pre contract for the huns.

We used SA as a lever to get DM. Good job IMO.

[KeithTheHibby]

600k for a guy in his final year? Plus a permanent player and another on loan?
And people say Rod Petrie was finished.

All reasonable points. We could have lost him for nothing to The Rangers, and now we would have a replacement in McGeough; but I would like to see a bit more cash involved. A sell on clause would indeed help.

I agree with some of that. But I personally value Allan at about £1m if you look at what other players go for McLeod, ciftci etc.
So with DM added in and possibly Henderson on loan that doesn't equate to my valuation

Can I just take this opportunity to say a massive thank you to Rangers for turning Allan down last season. As a result of that decision we've:


Spent the last year watching a great player play
seen him rip your defence to pieces
witnessed him dump Ian Black on his ass
watched you make a fool of yourself and show your true position with your laughable offers
now received a financial boost by flogging him on
received a couple of excellent players as part of the deal


You truly are the club of the people, thank you The Rangers :aok:

[Onion]

It's apparently 275k plus McGeouch and Henderson, not 600k.

If it's a proper £275k up front, that's much better than anything Sevco had to offer and IMO a realistic/decent deal for a player with 9 months left and who would have signed a pre with Sevco in January. Get rid of SA, bring in 2 good players who want to be here and money for 2 more.

Only hope it goes through.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Hope so. We could still be doing with adding in other areas.

The two coming in will probably see Harris, Stanton or both leave before the window closes I'd guess.

Fingers crossed, without wanting to bash Harris, the Montrose game should have been ideal for him to grab it by the scruff of the neck and dictate play, but didn't show enough for me.....Think he could be either away permanently or on loan, (hunch, nothing concrete)..........

[The Leith Dutch]

If it does go through it's actually probably better that it's less money but with players (particularly as we're getting one who's played with us last season).

Don't get me wrong - cash is nice but this close to the transfer window shutting and with the season in progress we need value on the field now.

Nobody worried about them loaning SA back to the hun?

[Winston Ingram]

Mackay Steven only had 6 months left. Armstrong had at least 2 years left I think.

GMS 4 mths, Armstrong 18 mths

[Sir David Gray]

Eh?

It's in reference to the time Gascoigne went up to where Raoul Moat was hiding out a few years ago when he was on the run from the Police after shooting a couple of people. He approached the Police officers who were dealing with the situation and told them he was a pal of Raoul Moat's and he had a fishing rod with him and he wanted to be allowed to meet up with him and go for some fishing to try and encourage him to give himself up.

[Baldy Foghorn]

He's only on loan.

Indeed, however the previous poster reckoned 340k for SA, Celtic valuing DM at 460k. That is 800k, so how come the deal is worth 1-1.2 to us?

Kenny McIntyre (BBC) seems very, very certain of his story (been questioned by a few on twitter) and will look ridic if he is proved wrong.

Stranger things have happened in fitba though, guess we find out Friday?

[Pretty Boy]

Did anyone get a video of the huns singing there's only one Scott Allan the other week?

You'd think they'd have learned their lesson after Scott Brown has consistently taken the piss out of them over the last few years.

[Booked4Being-Ugly]

Does DM even want to come back to Hibs?

[Stevie Reid]

Sky don't often get things wrong - no McGeough would surely be a deal breaker though?

[Pretty Boy]

Does DM even want to come back to Hibs?

Yes.

[B.H.F.C]

Sky don't often get things wrong - no McGeough would surely be a deal breaker though?

I don't think they are saying McGeough won't come to Hibs. Just that it won't be directly linked to the Allan deal. Give us McGeough on a free and get Allan at a knockdown price.

[ElginHibbie]

:agree: probably just a technicality Sky are being funny about

[Unseen work]

So if mcgeouch ain't part of the deal...

McGregor and Henderson as the 2 players?.....

[givescotlandfreedom]

Sky are saying Rotherham are coming back in with a second bid.

Good, a bidding war suits us to a tee.

[eastmainsmsh]

Mcgeoch and mcgregor apparently

I turned to my dad during it and said "we should be filming this for when he ends up signing for Celtic". Was too pissed off by that point to even take my phone out my pocket though [emoji57] Anyone get it??

[Beefster]

Indeed, however the previous poster reckoned 340k for SA, Celtic valuing DM at 460k. That is 800k, so how come the deal is worth 1-1.2 to us?

Presumably Celtc would be paying Henderson's wages. I took the Allan fee to be £290k up front with £50k for every time they qualify for the Champions League during the period of Allan's contract. If that's right, it's potentially another £200k.

I think the "extra" value was coming from Liam Henderson, what hes valued at, although we aaren't actually getting that we are getting the player, thats how I read it anyway.

Amidst all the back slapping and bean counting going on,of true Rod Petrian proportions, it's worth remembering that , if true, we have just sold the Championships best player thus leaving us with a very ordinary looking Hibs team.

Imo whilst this may have been unavoidable I think we may have just handed the league to Sevco.

Hopefully someone can step up and fill Allan's creative shoes.

[high bee]

Seevco or is it Seethco?

[magpie1892]

It's in reference to the time Gascoigne went up to where Raoul Moat was hiding out a few years ago when he was on the run from the Police after shooting a couple of people. He approached the Police officers who were dealing with the situation and told them he was a pal of Raoul Moat's and he had a fishing rod with him and he wanted to be allowed to meet up with him and go for some fishing to try and encourage him to give himself up.

I understood the reference, but didn't understand posting it. Ne'er mind, the 'joke' must have escaped me!

[hibbymick]

Do you think hibs wouldve knocked back 1m for him from The rangers ?

[Thecat23]

Do you think hibs wouldve knocked back 1m for him from The rangers ?

Even I would prob take a million from them. I'd have been surprised if they did but The Rangers don't have that anyway. But I'm sure if that sort of cash was offered the board would have had to think long and hard.

[allezsauzee]

Do you think hibs wouldve knocked back 1m for him from The rangers ?

Thats a bit like asking if Celtic would knock back 3m from Hibs for Leigh, The Rangers don't have a million to spend on a player.

[NAE NOOKIE]

Its a shame to see an obviously talented player on the way out ....... But in the circumstances anything over £250,000 plus McGeough and a talented player on loan for a season is very good business for us ... the meltdown it'll cause in Govan is just a huge bonus :greengrin .............. I for one don't think Hibs are all about Scott Allan and what we might end up with is a very good team on the park. I still think we need a CH and left back though. The best thing about this is, if it happens, we can get on with our bloody season !!!

Allan is a very good player, so too is McGeouch who at times was more direct and contributed more, McGinn aint that bad either, oh and Henderson is a top top prospect. This deal gives us far more options and stops us from becoming a one man team, which it has at times.

Obviously not fully concluded but I just think as it's been reported in all the media that this will be done by tomorrow, hence why we're all speculating as to price and the terms of the sale etc.

[Unseen work]

I have a feeling this deal with the players coming in, the money we will get, and the players coming back from injury will stand us in very good stead for the league.

I think in a way we could be similar to hearts last season. Alot of quality, competitions for places and a lot of Match winners

Henderson, Boyle, carmichael, keatings, malonga, Cummings and farid all have goals in them!! And alot at that.

Whole SA situation has turned out to be humiliating for The Rangers and Dave King. Media spin was all on Hibs refusing to sell to them, when reality was that The Rangers offer was derisory and all they could afford. Celtic step in with a more realistic offer and pick up a good player who'll make them money.

We now know The Rangers humiliation has a price and it's £275k (in instalments):loser: :thumbsup:

[Waxy]

Surely its really bad for Hallidays mental wellbeing not letting him sign for celtic to be beside his best mate.

[weecounty hibby]

Sad to see a good player leave. But cash plus two good players for a guy who had handed I a transfer request is good business. The fact that Der Huns are seething makes it even better business. Can't wait till its official so that I can officially rip it right out of the dirty Huns that I work with

I suppose another way of looking at it is we had a player who had submitted a transfer request, is out of contract in a year, and all the talk over the last few weeks was about him going to Rangers. It has possibly weakened us (not necessarily though), but its also not directly strengthened Rangers.

Im sure most of us would have wanted Allan to stay and play a key role this season, but events over the last few weeks have meant that was unlikely. Given the circumstances I suppose that is why everyone will be happy if the deal goes through!

The result at ibrox is more important We need a win or a least a draw irrespective of where Scott Allan is by that time . If it transpires that he is away ,and it looks like we have strengthened team ,and by the next time we play them we are top of the league I will be delighted Remember a lot of punters have said if we sell Scotty ,we can't win the Championship ,but would be even sweeter if we proved them wrong :agree:

Seems on the surface a good deal for both clubs. Perhaps a little sweetner from Celtic for their next manager in 2/3 years time. Delia's "roar" is an embarrassment and the Celtic board must cringe when he does it. The late Jock Stein or Billy McNeil behaving like that ?

Panic buy by Delilah as he realised Hertz were running away with the title :wink:

[SHODAN]

McGeouch is Allan's replacement. Before his injury last season he was our best player, better than Allan (although Allan wasn't at the top of his game quite yet). I remember in the 1-1 against Hearts at ER he dominated the entire game.

Considering we'll also have another creative force coming in (Henderson) and have a ball winner who will enable them to play (Bartley) we'll be just fine.

Would hope that we can use some funds and further strengthen our shortfall in defence and maybe a keeper ,but feel I'm battering my head on a wall on the keeper bit.

[Libby Hibby]

This whole SA affair has been a sorry one and I can't wait until it's over.

Make no mistakes here, this has all came about due to a number of reasons but it started the day we failed to gain promotion last year. SA is too good to play in the Championship in my opinion and would probably be at Rangers now if they had gained promotion. There was probably agreements in place between Rangers and SA but when they failed that caused a problem.

Since then the whole episode has been played out in the media and it's turned into a massive distraction.

If he goes to Celtic, I genuinely wish him all the best as I don't think he has done much wrong, he's avoided social media, never bad mouthed Hibs, Stubbs or the fans and for that, I have a bit of respect.

The transfer request did disappoint me but this is the world in which we live in if a contracted players wishes to leave a club, hate the game, not the player.

In terms of Hibs, AS and LD have got the best possible deal for the club for a player who we all expected to leave for free. Well done for sticking by their guns, being brave and showing the Rangers and the West Coast media that we won't be pushed about.

Welcome to the club McGeoch (again) and Henderson.

GGTTH.

Sevco only have themselves to blame for at least not assuring Allan's signature on a pre contract in January. When we said that we would not sell him to Sevco at the start, it was for obvious footballing reasons, but these thickos saw it as a sectarian red rag to bull and jumped in head first on two further occasions. All this did was to stir up a hornet's nest and led to Allan putting in a written transfer request, thereby keeping the fiasco on the back pages and forcing the issue, ie. they've lost him to Celtic. If they had kept their heads down after our first refusal, Allan would have been playing for us for one more season, perhaps a wee bit reluctantly, but he was definitely their's next season.

Indeed A70. :-)

They were referring to our fans posts etc on Social Media about SA. Wonder if the daily Hun will pick up on that!!

The seethe o the seethe.

Of course they won't, they are allowed to do what they want as it appeals to the "masses"

Never mind just hoping this deal goes through early today and we can get back to a bit of normality come tomorrow at 3pm.

A game we MUST win.

This whole SA affair has been a sorry one and I can't wait until it's over.

Make no mistakes here, this has all came about due to a number of reasons but it started the day we failed to gain promotion last year. SA is too good to play in the Championship in my opinion and would probably be at Rangers now if they had gained promotion. There was probably agreements in place between Rangers and SA but when they failed that caused a problem.

Since then the whole episode has been played out in the media and it's turned into a massive distraction.

If he goes to Celtic, I genuinely wish him all the best as I don't think he has done much wrong, he's avoided social media, never bad mouthed Hibs, Stubbs or the fans and for that, I have a bit of respect.

The transfer request did disappoint me but this is the world in which we live in if a contracted players wishes to leave a club, hate the game, not the player.

In terms of Hibs, AS and LD have got the best possible deal for the club for a player who we all expected to leave for free. Well done for sticking by their guns, being brave and showing the Rangers and the West Coast media that we won't be pushed about.

Welcome to the club McGeoch (again) and Henderson.

GGTTH.

Good post. Pretty much mirrors my thoughts.

My thoughts exactly. Let's get this done and we can concentrate on us and the game tomorrow.

It would be hilarious if Celtic loaned him back to us...

Tbh I don't think I'd want him back. Would be very funny though.

I won't believe anything until he's pictured drinking with Celtc players.

True. The contents have been sealed since 1690.

Could be wrong but don't think a player can be registered with three different clubs in the space of one window.

Ok. Hopefully it's to announce the Allan deal then.

[PeeJay]

If this is a done deal I'm quite disappointed. Our best player goes, we end up with yet another injury-prone player, who doesn't really impress me anyway, to add to the many we have on board already. Personally think It would have been better to keep and use Allan then let him go for free, than to give him away for next to nothing now ...

Could it be that too many Hibs fans on here are more concerned with how this is affecting Rangers instead of how it is affecting us as a club?

They did and Delia refused to make any comment about a player who wasn't his and asked the media to ask him about one of his current players.

So Hibs shouldn't sign a player that doesn't impress you!!!!

FWIW Scott Allan passed his medical last night.

if Allan goes, it works in rangers favour. looks like celtic are doing their bit to help rangers back into the top flight.

hate the both of them.

we shouldnt be selling to either of those clubs

Allan's transfer request saga has already disrupted our start of the normal season and end of pre season. He doesn't want to play for hibs and that's the bottom line here. We achieved nothing when he was in the team last season.

[Cod Boy]

suppose we will know if he is away if he isn't a training this morning

I can see where your coming from Peejay but I don't want a player who doesn't want to be at the club and SA did this the minute he handed in his transfer request. Cutting off our nose to spite our face, maybe, but one player does not make a team.

To get a fee plus Dylan (permanent) and another loanee as part of the deal will strengthen us and make us stronger IMHO.

It's never done until it's announced however I hope it's announced in the next few hours so we can concentrate on Hibs.

Exactly this last few words, we need to focus on hibs as a whole now and put all this garbage behind us, I think we were doing that at the start of pre season but this whole saga has derailed everything.

We we lose a player that doesn't want to be here, get about 250k, get a player who looks good (to most), another player on lam who looks a real prospect and further cash payments if Celtic get to the champions league each year.

That 250k. Could be used as wages for another couple of players, so we lose one player and gain 4!

If it's to our advantage, then yes we should.

Apart from the Scott Allan situation, like it or not, the gruesome twosome will always have the ability to pay their players more than we can and there's not much we can do to counter that. Money talks.

[PeeJay]

I'm not convinced that Allan is to blame for this season's poor preparation and start - I fail to see how you can blame him for last season's dismal failure to get promotion?
Anyway, you say he didn't want to play for us as he wanted to play for Rangers, yet here he is now going to Celtic so he can play for them, although he wants to play for Rangers - don't you think a properly run club should have dealt better with this situation at the onset: Celtic will deal with it, I'm sure ...

We can but hope. As I said last night, if the agreement is on the rumoured terms, I would like to have a gained a larger fee; but it needs resolving for the good of he club. Hopefully we'll look back with satisfaction.
