Does anyone REALLY know if McGeogh is signing? - (Signed. Confirmed by Hibs)

[davidw]

'Really', as in 'I have a source/contact' or 'I have just spoken to him' or 'I am Dylan' (stranger things have happened), and NOT as in 'I have no idea but I think he will' (which is all I have heard so far).

'Cos I am getting a bit worried...

don't worry be Happy .:greengrinIf Scoops says the Players think he is coming then he will ,unless he has an unscrupulous Agent who is just using us to flush out better offers from other clubs but I am confident we wouldn't of got ourselves into that situation .:aok:

[Ronniekirk]

And they ended up with a double Yoker on theirs Jim :greengrin we on the other hand have handled the situation in a dignified professional manner and deserve to reap the rewards for all the work we have been doing quietly behind the scenes ,while any man and his dug with a loose Rangers connection was still bleating on about Scott Allan being denied his right to move to his boyhood heroes and play with his childhood pal . But in the end Money was a bigger Motivator .

[S4uzee]

Hibs could announce him at HT today. Although McGinn had signed I've not seen Hibs do that I can remember.
No idea, just a thought

[Blaster]

I think hibs just want to get their own publicity on this. The Henderson loan deal is well hidden amongst the Allan story

[hibsmad]

Sorry, I know this doesn't answer the original question but I'm not too fussed if he does sign. Dempster said the cash from SA would be used to strengthen the squad. I'm a fan of Dylan but I would rather we spent the cash on a centre half.

A reckon we spent the cash already on Mcginn

[ancient hibee]

As McGeouch didn't ask for a transfer presumably his agent is negotiating a pay off from Celtic.Hope he understands the Hibs support view on putting money before playing for Hibs.:greengrin

[Ringothedog]

You reckon wrong then

C'mon, Dylan, do the right thing - ie stop eating Sausage and Egg McMuffins, ffs: you're an athlete.

Oh, and sign as well, would you? We need you.

'Cos I am getting a bit worried...

No ITK knowledge - more an observation. What options are really open to McGeouch?

If Celtic are valuing him at £400k is there anyone out there willing to pay even half that? So he is likely looking at another loan move for a year or he signs for us. At 22, hopefully he sees the need to settle somewhere and show his ability. 2 good seasons for us and he could get a decent move to England

A bit worried myself, BBC sport Scotland no longer mentioning McGeogh in conection with SA transfer only the Henderson loan.

[Thecat23]

Think this will be done over the w'end, and possibly announced on the Monday. Whether or not it's the length of contract or Hibs aren't convinced over his fitness these things can take a little longer as both parties want the best deal.

I still think though Hibs will get him and we shouldn't be worried about it.

[GreenArmyyy!]

He is signed, Hibs want the Scott Allan situation to blow over so the Mcgeouch deal gets it's own publicity, should be announced on Monday or Tuesday.

As far as I was concerned, the Mcgeough deal was seperate from the Allan transfer. People were putting 2 and 2 together. I expect he will sign this week though.

Anyway, thanks for the replies.

I'm not new to this malarkey. I've followed the ITK discussions on other threads - but there seems to be a lot of disagreement about who is really ITK, who thinks they are ITK but aren't really, who are complete bullsh*ters, and who - like me - know nuffink.

Also - if the McGeogh deal is separate from the Allan deal, does that mean we have to give Septic their money back to buy him....?

Like I say give it time and you'll realise.

We won't need to give them any money back. The 275k is in the bag! If McGeouch doesn't sign then they'll give us what they think he's valued at to add to the 275k

He will sign!

Separating the fact we (I) want Dylan to sign, it would be equally hilarious for Celtic to have taken up the one year extension clause on DMc in order to negotiate the SA transfer, to then value him at circa £400k and DMc refusing to join us so Celtic have to give us the £400k in cash and have an unwanted player on board for another season!

Yeah there is that but Dylan would of been consulted I would of thought. Dylan will get his publicity on his own when he signs and rightly so.

McGeogh and his advisor's will be working on a deal with Celtic to get some cash before he leaves. He signed a one year deal only about a month ago. I don't know his wage but say its 2k a week, that's 100k he would have earned in wages over the year. So he will probably be looking for a 50k pay off from Celtic before he can sign for the cabbage. That's not to say another club cant hijack the deal right enough and sign him.

[Kaff]

Yeah there is that but Dylan would of been consulted I would of thought. Dylan will get his publicity on his own when he signs and rightly so.

I think you're right, do find it strange that his registration wasnt pushed through quickly as he would have slotted into the squad for today very easily.
However with two midfielders joining those playing today have every reason to perform to their best, as most have said there must be players leaving?

Just listening to bbc sports sound, I know I know, but wee chick youngsaying that McGeough move to hibs is not dead in the water, still on going. So still a bit to go by the sounds of it.

Update from sports sound, Stubbs being interviewed and asked if McGeogh had signed, one word answer, no and I will not speak about other club's players.

True poor sentence construction, should have paid more attention to my grammar lessons.:greengrin

[DH1875]

I've been told its far from a done deal and that there's problems with the contract we've offered him. I'm not in the know and not sure if the guys telling me this are in the know (their celtic fans) but could be what's causing the delay.

[Lee Marvin]

I think I would rather have the money tbh. Feel it could be used in much better areas.

[GreenCastle]

Was he at game today ?

My only input would have been that surely Henderson would have took the number 10 shirt if another midfielder wasn't coming

McGeough is a decent player but yet another midget. Spend the money on a powerful striker to replace Malonga.

:agree: I feel, in this league, we need a no-nonsense big direct striker. A bit old-fashioned put your head in where it hurts type player.

[Golden Bear]

Hardly a midget but I agree with your sentiments.

I thought the Morton Number 9 looked just what we need right now.

AFAIK there is every chance Dylan will sign.

If he doesn't or if there is money left over I would buy the Dunfermline striker El Something, he is scoring for fun.

If the deal from Celtic is £400k or DM if rather we took the cash. We already have lots of midfielders. It would better spent on a CF and CH

There's so much open to interpretation to what's happened and what will happen. I keep hearing that the McGeouch deal is separate from the Allan transfer. So for me, that means that they got Allan for £275k (?) and a one year Henderson loan. If the McGeouch deal is separate, we now have to pay a fee for him. That's not a good bit of business. Somebody said that if we don't get McGeouch, we will get a bigger fee for Allan. How can we , if the deals are completely separate?

[Alfred E Newman]

That's Farid surely?

If and when he ever turns out. Not much use sitting in the stand.

I understand what you're saying and can agree to a point but if Henderson performs anything like as good as he is supposed to be, then we have replaced a good player with another good player and got £275k. We're no worse off player wise but have £275k to spend, if McGeouch arrives for nothing we'll have done very well. Having said all that it still sees a bit odd but we'll need to wait and see I think.

Celtc will be willing to sell Dylan to us without the transfer fee. Anybody else would have to pay for him. I don't know how it would work if he refuses to come though. Would imagine Celtc would then be due us a further fee but I'm confident that the deal is already done so won't have to worry about that scenario

[DH1875]

If the DM deal falls through, do celtic not have any defenders we could get on loan/sign?

So it is part of the Allan deal then?

[BoomtownHibees]

Not entirely. What was reported was that Allan going to them wasn't reliant on a deal being struck for Dylan which it wasn't. If we can agree a contract with him then we will get him for free.

It is a bit strange to be honest. I have heard that's it's all to do with tax etc. but not sure how much substance in that

[greenginger]

That's a bit different. That would be part of the deal. They should just say so!


If its part of the deal, his severance pay from Celtic will be taxable. The move to Hibs has to be seen to be a separate deal or Hibs/Celtic/McGeogh will have to pay at least 40% tax on his pay-off.

That's assuming he was getting more from them than he will be from us.

[CropleyWasGod]

The tax situation is nothing to do with whether the deals are linked.

If DMs severance payment is part of his contract, it will be taxable. If its not, and he is trying to negotiate a separate payment, the first 30k is tax free.

The above would apply whether or not the deals are linked.

[Leith Mo]

Will be announced tomorrow. New signing so deserves a separate space. Done deal.

[Borderhibbie76]

Will be announced tomorrow. New signing so deserves a separate space. Done deal.

Are you ITK or just assuming this will be the case mate?

[NAE NOOKIE]

Its all a mystery to be honest. No idea what the actual money was and no idea if Dylan is signing or not ... only Henderson is done & dusted, but he looks good. We really need to get this crap out of the way so we can get on with it.

[Beefster]

The Celtic manager said yesterday when asked about McGeough to Hibs, that some negotiations were still taking place

Yea, I know he's in negotiations with Hibs. We have dozens of people on here pretending to know exactly what's going on in those negotiations though. If that was in any way true, McGeouch, his advisors and Dempster would have to be taking a break every 15 minutes to phone all their pals and given them the latest.

It must be in Alan Stubbs' book or he wouldn't be trying to sign him.

[Steve-O]

Fair do's, it just appears we've a large number of central players and hardly any wide players at all in the squad. How many left footers do we have, for example?

I get that - we seem to have lots of cover there and nowhere else.

That said it looks like most formations we play we will have 3 central midfield players, so to have cover and options we would need about 5 of them. Longer term we won't have Henderson.

We get our width mainly from full backs in our systems and we now have Carmichael and Boyle who can play wide if we choose - I think McGeouch can certainly play wide if needed as well.

I also think Harris and Stanton will be gone if we can arrange it.

[S4uzee]

Not sure about Harris but would agree about Stanton.

I would rather keep Stanton than Harris

Fair do's, it just appears we've a large number of central players and hardly any wide players at all in the squad. How many left footers do we have, for example?

We had 6 left footed players on the pitch on Saturday in the 2nd half!

Though agree no left footed winger.

[Borderhibbie76]

So aside from debating if we need him or not. ..is he likely to sign today does anybody know???

Dylan McGeouch contract finalised and signed, he is now a Hibs player. Awaiting on Hibs making it official. Good signing in my opinion! Just seen this on Twitter ?

[HibsNutter]

If he was going to sign, I'm sure there would have been some announcement from the club when the Allan/Henderson deal went through, even if the announcement was simply 'McGeouch has been given permission to speak to Hibs', and so I haven't got my hopes up about him signing. He is a cracking player, but I'd much prefer we prioritised strengthening any other area of the pitch than Midfield.

It may be a little to do with media tactics - Monday's back pages are full of reports and analysis from the weekend; given we won, it allows the opportunity for Cummings and the side to get a bit of positive exposure. Tuesday however is another day so maybe, just maybe, the delay is a bit about seeding us positive news over the course of the week in order to keep up interest, sales etc. :idea:

All very strange. Cannot imagine Hibs are trying to time the announcement, as it will now come as a relief/non-event when it happens rather than the exciting new addition to the squad it would have last Friday. Also, weird that the wc media are not at least asking questions about this transfer ! It was part of the most exciting deal of the summer and involves a Celtic player. All very odd !!

Agree all people can do is pass on what they are told and people can choose to believe it or not. The people giving the information are not in charge of if contracts are finalised or when the news is announced. Bottom line is if he signs he signs, if not we move onto another player.

If it had fallen through the Media would be on to it I would think Stubbs has made it clear he won't talk about it until it's a done deal .So maybe loose ends at Celtic not tied up and he won't sign the contract until every little detail is sorted but all parties may be confident that will happen

Both Scoops and underscore are very confident so we just have to be patient on this one It took ages to announce Fontaine after the ITK folk were clear he had signed .

Stubbs will want him in squad to play Rangers in signed and fit ,but if things still being sorted out and he knows he won't be in squad for Sunday he will be focussing on a game plan with players who are in contention
Doesn't answer your question ,but as I am not ITK ,never will be ITK ,and don't know anyone who is IT K , that's my best guess :confused:

There is no way on this earth IMO that Hibs sold him for 275k and a loan.

[Ozyhibby]

Don't know whether he has signed or not but I'm not buying that we are holding of to increase media exposure. We are not Barca and mcgeogh is not Neymar. The column inches will be the same whenever we announce.

We are however an important source of information for the local press with reporters embedded in the club for a long time. Pretty sure they will work together to ensure one helps the other, for the majority of the time. So if the EEN needs column inches on a particular day, or Hibs needs to launch a scheme on another - there will be some sort of unwritten working agreement there to co-operate and understand each others needs. Just my take.

[Hibbyradge]

It'll be nice to see him return to ER, as we're definitely short in some departments. Would be good if he was an option for this Saturday, though.

I have to say, if the deal is the £275k + Henderson on loan, I'm a bit dissapointed with that. If McGoeuch comes in, then I think its a decent deal, but when we apparently turned down £375k from Rotherham, the offer from Celtic seems low.

There was no offer from Rotherham. The money will not be disclosed anywhere as Stubbs rightly doesn't want other teams knowing what we have available. Allan will be "undisclosed" and Dylan will be "undisclosed"

Need to keep up. Celtic valued DM at £460k and waived the fee for Hibs as part of the Allan deal. If DM doesn't sign, Celtic will be due Hibs more money.

[Greenworld]

I have to say im baffled by it all underscore is convinced its a done deal but no announcements.the only press release I can recall that the lenth of deal was a problem. The only other thing of note was the announcement that this deal was not part of the allan deal which everyone thought it was. Not that im bothered one way or another but does seem to be taking too long even by hibs standard.

I think what they said was the Allan deal was not dependent on the McGeough deal. If the McGeough deal falls through we're not getting Scott Allan back. Celtc will just have to make up the balance with cash or other players.

[B.H.F.C]

If the deal has been done I take it Dylan will be training with us today?

[Bad Martini]

Sorry to say but there is only one person who really knows what will happen and when. Major influence can be exerted by clubs, chairmen, agents and whoever the **** else wants to get involved but it comes down to the players' choice in the end.

Therefore, unless anyone on here is the player, they know the same as the rest of us right know, albeit some may know someone who knows someone etc. They may EVEN know the player...who knows ? Either way, as I say, until its finalised from the players' perspective, we know, **** all.

Err, endof in that regard?

In regards the deal, IF we dont get the player in question and did get £250k and a loanee, thats a bad deal. Again, its all IF's and maybes as nobody on here really knows.

:na na:

Fair dues :thumbsup:

[NAE NOOKIE]

The more this drags on the more I wonder if it would be such a disaster if McGeough doesn't sign. If the guys we already have in midfield step up we have a pretty good core of decent players in there already ... none of them look like they are duds and they could form a very good midfield as it stands now.

If McGeough falls through we could have a fair chunk to spend on wages and I for one would be just as happy to see a good centre half and left back signed on the strength of that.

If it is McGeough I wont exactly be crying myself to sleep mind ...... I think he's a cracking wee player.

Can someone please explain the logic to me in that he has signed but we are putting of announcing it cause I really don't get it.
Also don't get Stubbs saying he can't speak about another teams player. If he's signed, is he no our player? If he's no signed why are people on here saying he has AND if its a case of everything being in place and he's gonna sign, how does he no just bloody sign then?

So many questions and so little answers.

Maybe we'll all welcome a wee uplift come the end of the week.

I'm greedy, I want him available for the game this weekend.

Because the majority of posts just now seem to be made by 12 year olds.

You do realise in the year 2015 all the school kids can now post on their phones while at school anyway

[Shrekko]

Sorry to say but there is only one person who really knows what will happen and when. Major influence can be exerted by clubs, chairmen, agents and whoever the **** else wants to get involved but it comes down to the players' choice in the end.

Therefore, unless anyone on here is the player, they know the same as the rest of us right know, albeit some may know someone who knows someone etc. They may EVEN know the player...who knows ? Either way, as I say, until its finalised from the players' perspective, we know, **** all.

Err, endof in that regard?

In regards the deal, IF we dont get the player in question and did get £250k and a loanee, thats a bad deal. Again, its all IF's and maybes as nobody on here really knows.

:na na:

Fair dues :thumbsup:

Cheers for clearing that up.

McGeough was training with Celtic today and looked in 'good spirits' along with Allan

Well he's not signed then

This..... He wouldn't be training with another team if he was a hibs player. So all the he's been signed and deal done comments are wrong

[Jim44]

Need to keep up. Celtic valued DM at £460k and waived the fee for Hibs as part of the Allan deal. If DM doesn't sign, Celtic will be due Hibs more money.


I think what they said was the Allan deal was not dependent on the McGeough deal. If the McGeough deal falls through we're not getting Scott Allan back. Celtc will just have to make up the balance with cash or other players.

Very reassuring, but I'll believe it when I see it with quote marks and attributed to someone with credible connections.

[Borderhibbie76]

This is becoming a nonsense...if he is training at Celtic today then clearly he has NOT yet signed for hibs. ..endof until we hear otherwise from Hibs

[RCNG]

Those who say he'd signed should be banned for a month....

There is no way he has signed if he is training with the

The Plot thickens .if he had signed a contract with us already and we just hadn't announced it he defo wouldn't be training with Celtic you wouldn't think .
Is the photo genuine and taken today ? If so suggests negotiations still on going and he is contracted to Celtic so trains with them

Nah, get the polis involved.

[scoopyboy]

time for the admins to close this crazy thread

Or possibly time for you to stop your whinging, cos that's all you've done on this thread.

If you don't like the thread then don't enter it, simple really.

IMO the admins see no need to close the thread otherwise they would have done, they do a good job without you so just leave them to it.

I fully expected to be "tailed" home now by the non-believers. I'm sure my phone is already being tapped.

:agree:

I find the level of neuroticism on this message board unbelievable at times. Dylan still training with Celtic = deal is off? I wish some folk would just calm down and be patient.

Not off but not done. Folk are getting stick for daring to suggest it might not have been completed yet.

No squad number though :hmmm:

[brassmonkeybar]

looks like celtic dont expect him to be staying though, as judging by the pics hes the only player without a squad number or initials on his training gear

Still mite not come to us but seems like celtic expect him to be somewhere else

[Jim44]

Alan Stubbs won’t rush to spend Hibs’ Scott Allan cash http://spont.ly/1RgXIU4 #hibs

What kind of a statement is that? Exactly how much did we get for SA?

We'll never know how much or how little Stubbs is not going to rush to spend. Well Mr Stubbs, despite your coolness and casual soundbites, if we get another tanking from Sevco and the DM 'deal' is confirmed as dead in the water, you'll have one week to rush to spend the SA cash.
