Anthony Stokes

[Pretty Boy]

yep facebook and twitter nobody on here even discussed the possibility lol

I was being diplomatic.....

[Danderhall Hibs]

No idea if it will happen or not but the stuff yesterday suggesting it was a done deal simply aren't true.

To be fair to me I said loose ends need tied up. :wink:

[jacomo]

His goals fired us to 4th in the premier league. We could do with having more of that type of bad influence around the place.


You and many others making light of any possible issues with Stokes. Fair enough.

All I am saying is that the attitude and atmosphere at Hibs stank for years, and I don't want us going back to that situation. Will Stokes score goals if he comes back to us? Quite possibly. Will he be a good influence on younger members of our squad? Er...

Same could be said about Riordan but he came in for months and was a massive influence on JC and the younger boys!!

There's more chance of him scoring goals than there is being a disruptive influence, and besides, he would be on loan, if he causes bother he goes back along the M8. Simples.

I would have been someone who when I first heard he was linked with us totally baulked at it..I can only go from what I read but I felt he was a real bad egg..But I've come to think that one of the things Stubbs has always talked about is unity, togetherness and the right mood in the camp..I trust he knows far more about Stokes than any of us & wouldn't risk the great work he's done by bringing in someone he felt could potentially destroy that..Fingers crossed :wink:

I find it strange that you really are so against this for non football reasons but in the Deeks case you thought it was class the club invited him back I don't disagree with that but deeks can hardly be held up as a role model for our young players

Andy has a far better success rate with potential signings that anywhere else that I have seen.

Give the guy a break.

[Mikey09]

Personally I think people saying Stokes will be a disruptive influence in the dressing room and at the club in general are doing Stubbs a disservice. He seems to have sorted JC out, so much so that he's being linked with a host of clubs. Also, if he did get billy big time, I'm sure the likes of Fontaine, Gray and big Marv would soon put him in his place. Think Stokes would get the head down and do what he does best... Score goals.

[HibsNibs]

For example he mentioned Gunnarsson before the papers did, he must have some sort of contact within the club.

Gilles doesn't make up the rumours or the names, he waits for the names to appear here and elsewhere and makes up the pish about it being a 'done deal' etc so he can appear to have inside info. I've never seen him post anything that hasn't appeared on here first.

Baffling behaviour from a grown man.

I think Deeks is a special case.

I am generally sceptical of players returning for a second spell at a club, but he is a massive Hibs fan who had the best years of his career at our club. I also think that Riordan is hardly the disruptive influence he is sometimes made out to be - not the most dedicated, clean-living athlete, perhaps, but hardly a bad lad.

Stokes, on the other hand, is a gun for hire. He has no emotional attachment to us and even Yogi admits he needs 'controlling'.

If - if - he joins us and bangs in the goals, you can all say 'I told you so'. I'm sure people will. That will be no bother to me, there are more important things in life than being proved right on a fans' forum.

But I do have reservations.

[Glesgahibby]

I hope Celtic don't leave this til the last day,incase some one puts in a transfer bid.

I don't understand why people get so upset by him. He's just sharing information with the people following his page that he takes from the media, fans forums etc but he never claims it to be his own information? In fact he more often than not names the source of the rumor or story at the bottom of what ever he posts.

What is baffling behavior is grown men getting wound up by someone like Andy Gillies who's just running a harmless page on Facebook.

He's used a couple of things I have written in the past, not transfer related, and always asked permission before doing so and 'credited' it.

Spot on, really can't understand what he's doing wrong and why folk are annoyed with him, constantly trying to bring him down as some clueless story teller lol

[monarch]

According to Yogi at the AGM after Stokes departure it was 'a footballing decision'.
Yogi didn't attend the AGM following Stokes' departure (he was sacked that morning). It was Rod that stated that Stokes' departure was a no brainer, the inference from his body language being that he was a disruptive influence.
For what it's worth I'll be cautiously optimistic in trusting Stubbs's judgement in this situation as we do have to stop clinging on nervously to one goal leads to see out games.

I've never seen him claim any of his posts or rumors to be "exclusives".

I personally don't know the guy but people appreciate the effort he makes to run the page and share Hibs-related news to a broader audience on Facebook who aren't on the Forums, Twitter and so on. Does it really matter how the news is shared or what context it's written in? Whether he copies and pastes from here, there or wherever he often credits the source. He's not a journalist or anything so why does it matter that he nicks a bit of information from fellow fans? Give the guy a break!

HAVE YOUR SAY
Hibs have contacted Celtic with a view to bringing Anthony Stokes on loan to Easter Road for the remainder of the season.

The 27-year-old is out of favour at Celtic Park, with Hoops boss Ronny Deila making the Republic of Ireland international available for a temporary move away from Glasgow.

Hibs head coach Alan Stubbs is keen to bring the former Hibernian striker back to Easter Road in a bid to bolster their Ladbrokes Championship title charge and have opened talks with the Celtic board about a move.



Hibs also face competition from Inverness and Dundee United for his signature, but it is believed Hibs would be Stokes’ destination of choice.

Stokes hasn’t played a competitive match since Celtic’s 3-1 over Dundee United on August 22, but there is little doubt the Irishman would strengthen a Hibs attack that already boasts eight strikers in the squad.

Hibs would want to team Stokes up with top-scorer Jason Cummings, who has scored 16 goals this season so far. Alan Stubbs has revealed that there have been no offers for the 20-year-old during this transfer window and that none would be entertained by the Easter Road hierarchy.

Read the first page then just gave up :rolleyes:

Highly unlikely to feature in that game even if he signed today


Why not? :confused:

Seems like the media are trying to push this move through, or at the very least convince celtic and Stokes it should happen.

Dagnall played the full 90 vs Raith. That was his first game. The only way to get match fitness is to play in games..

[GreenArmyyy!]

I don't mind admitting I am an admin on the Fans News page. I have absolutely no interest in getting in to arguments or petty squabbles over who reported a transfer rumour for a football team first. Frankly it just isn't worth it. I have seen a few people have digs at Andy over the last year or two but don't always have time to post so have stayed quiet till now. Andy, myself and a few others help to run the Facebook page to give fans a different avenue to vent and to receive information about the club. None of us claim to be super fans or better than anybody else, the only reason we run the page is because we love living and breathing Hibs. We conduct interviews with the fans before and after the games then Andy spends hours upon hours collating them in to a fans diary each week for the fans. We are sponsoring Martin Boyle, Liam Fontaine and Islam Feruz this year. When we receive boots, strips etc they are auctioned off and all proceeds are donated to the Hibernian Community Foundation. This is only done because we love the club. None of the admin are PM's on here or know anybody that is. I myself did ask Mikey to sign me up to the pm board a year or two ago but there was some problem with the system and eventually I gave up on it. Whenever I post on the group (anybody on Facebook will be able to verify) if it is not my own info I state exactly where it came from. Andy does have his sources, so do I, some of it is second hand from ITK members of .net but I generally don't post them as I don't want to risk others getting in to trouble. We do get given info which at times we are told is strictly to be kept quiet so we don't generally post until somebody else has.
Fans news is a Facebook page for our fans to get together and talk Hibs. Regarding Andy allegedly copy and pasting info from the pm board, it would be good to see proof of that otherwise could it be that whoever you guys were referring to has the same source? As I said I'm not here to argue with anybody at all I just don't find it fair of individuals to sling accusations and insults at a guy you probably haven't met and know nothing about. If anybody wants to discuss a specific situation of copyright then absolutely feel free to pm me or ask Andy on Facebook. I hope this post is ok admin, feel free to remove if it isn't. GGTTH.

To be perfectly honest, I'm amazed at the lack of a punning thread here.
As in - Hibs striker beats Seaman.

Sorry.

Alan Stubbs has revealed that there have been no offers for the 20-year-old during this transfer window and that none would be entertained by the Easter Road hierarchy.




Tells us this!

Agreed! Tells me JC certainly isn't in talks with Derby!

He is only going to get match fit by playing games though. IF he signs he'll be straight in to the first match day squad unless he is injured i'd have thought.

Yeah but has he been playing weekly with his old club? I don't think Stokes has and that would be the reason.

[CallumLaidlaw]

I dont think Dagnall has played since the start of december. I realise stokes is longer for a 1st team game, but would presume he's been getting development games. He's at least been fit enough for Celtic to have him on the bench.

[The Harp Awakes]

Understandably we're all getting a bit impatient to hear news. I have no inside information but based on everything I've read here and in the press, I think there must be a decent chance of Stokes coming to us. It looks like we want him and the player wants to come to us. The delay is likely to be due to haggling with Celtic over the proportion of wages we pay.

If that's the case, we need to be careful as there's several clubs after him who may be in a better position financially to stump up.

I'm not saying he shouldn't start btw, I just saying if he signed in time I would understand Stubbs wanting to maybe see him in training first to see his fitness levels. Id love Stokes to play soon as he is here.

See what your saying regarding his wages, but the amount of clubs interested is irrelevant if Stokes only wanted to come to Hibs. Celtic would need to accept what Hibs were willing to pay or the alternative would be to continue paying all his wages as he see's out the rest of this season and eventually his contract with them, Stokes holds all the cards here.

Look, stuff appeared on that Facebook or Twitter page that was virtually word for word what was on the PM board here first. When I asked how that information got on the page I was immediately banned from it. That, to me indicates a cover up and by posting what could be sensitive information could put itk posters and sources at risk of exposure therefor making them reluctant to post in the info in the future. Whether you were an admin at the time or not doesn't matter but it happened and it was wrong to post it. That's the last I will say about it on the matter.

HAVE YOUR SAY
Hibs have contacted Celtic with a view to bringing Anthony Stokes on loan to Easter Road for the remainder of the season.

The 27-year-old is out of favour at Celtic Park, with Hoops boss Ronny Deila making the Republic of Ireland international available for a temporary move away from Glasgow.

Hibs head coach Alan Stubbs is keen to bring the former Hibernian striker back to Easter Road in a bid to bolster their Ladbrokes Championship title charge and have opened talks with the Celtic board about a move.



Hibs also face competition from Inverness and Dundee United for his signature, but it is believed Hibs would be Stokes’ destination of choice.

Stokes hasn’t played a competitive match since Celtic’s 3-1 over Dundee United on August 22, but there is little doubt the Irishman would strengthen a Hibs attack that already boasts eight strikers in the squad.

Hibs would want to team Stokes up with top-scorer Jason Cummings, who has scored 16 goals this season so far. Alan Stubbs has revealed that there have been no offers for the 20-year-old during this transfer window and that none would be entertained by the Easter Road hierarchy.

I'm not really sure what your point is. Hibs.net is a discussion forum where individual posters have said they believe something or other to be true. At no point have we as a site said Stokes is signing, that's what the guys who run these Facebook pages are 'announcing'. Not a criticism of them as they may well have info but comparing this site to them is oranges and apples.

If he does come - and I hope he does- I think it will be later in the window rather than earlier. Celtic will want to get the best deal for them as I would expect Hibs to do with any of our players. They won't get rid just because the player wants the move without getting every penny they can squeeze out of us or wherever he ends up.

By the sounds of it Stokes wants to come here but if the stories at the time were right so did Leigh when we enquired about him.

Good post.

It is indeed a much better feeling turning your nose up at Anthony Stokes because he might be trouble to trying to get excited about Rowan Vine.

[blackpoolhibs]

I love the pm board for titbits, some of the information has come off and others not. What i do believe from 2 or 3 certain posters, is their information is correct at the time they have posted it.

Things do go wrong, but when posted i believe from them its done from very good information.

What i dont think they should do though, is ask if this will be kept on the pm board, if the information is written on this message board, pm or main. Anyone can read it if they have paid a tenner, they may not put that information out there knowingly, but just telling one person can lead to that information going anywhere.

Its not a secret anymore if its printed on a message board, pm or not.

[Thecat23]

If I were them I'd be driving him to ER tonight. We won't be able to match the wages of the English clubs but they will know that come the summer he will be right in the shop window and may attract a decent fee, we always get a lot of interest in our squad and a track record of people moving on for a decent fee. (Every time we have a decent player they get touted in the press as going out the door)

If he goes to the English championship they may pay more wages but he's more likely to sit on the bench or not get shown up if his fitness isn't there and they will end up having him in the stands for another year.

Ronny Deila tells Hibs they face competition in Stokes loan chase

http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/celtic/1338953-ronny-deila-tells-hibs-they-face-competition-in-stokes-loan-chase/

The Irishman is free to leave the Scottish champions this month on loan, and Hibs have confirmed formal talks have begun.
Stokes former boss John Hughes wants to link up with the forward again and keep him in the Scottish Premiership while clubs in England are also monitoring the situation.
The 27-year-old scored 22 goals in the capital six years ago and Stubbs is keen for the player to return to the capital to help his teams top flight promotion bid.

"We think he will go on loan," Deila said ahead of Friday night's trip to Dundee United.
"He has some options but together with Stokesy we haven't decided what is the right one yet.
"A lot of clubs have been in contact who want to have Stokesy on their team.
"We will see what Anthony wants and what is best for the club. He is happy to go out on loan. He wants to get some games under his belt.
"It's important for everybody he finds himself, gets some good performances and can then perform for Celtic again.
"Does he still have a Celtic future? Yeah, everybody has that.
"He has a contract with the club and Stokesy knows the things he has to take care of.
"Hopefully he will get a good run of games, score some goals and get back in good confidence and the best shape he can be in."

http://sport.stv.tv/football/clubs/celtic/1338953-ronny-deila-tells-hibs-they-face-competition-in-stokes-loan-chase/

The Irishman is free to leave the Scottish champions this month on loan, and Hibs have confirmed formal talks have begun.
Stokes former boss John Hughes wants to link up with the forward again and keep him in the Scottish Premiership while clubs in England are also monitoring the situation.
The 27-year-old scored 22 goals in the capital six years ago and Stubbs is keen for the player to return to the capital to help his teams top flight promotion bid.

"We think he will go on loan," Deila said ahead of Friday night's trip to Dundee United.
"He has some options but together with Stokesy we haven't decided what is the right one yet.
"A lot of clubs have been in contact who want to have Stokesy on their team.
"We will see what Anthony wants and what is best for the club. He is happy to go out on loan. He wants to get some games under his belt.
"It's important for everybody he finds himself, gets some good performances and can then perform for Celtic again.
"Does he still have a Celtic future? Yeah, everybody has that.
"He has a contract with the club and Stokesy knows the things he has to take care of.
"Hopefully he will get a good run of games, score some goals and get back in good confidence and the best shape he can be in."

I'm still in the not "too fussed" camp but the fact that formal negotiations are ongoing suggests that a deal could still be struck.

[WhileTheChief..]

In negotiations eh? Total faith that LD will pull this off :)

Absolutely buzzing at this. Brilliant.

[Waxy]

If he does come - and I hope he does- I think it will be later in the window rather than earlier. Celtic will want to get the best deal for them as I would expect Hibs to do with any of our players. They won't get rid just because the player wants the move without getting every penny they can squeeze out of us or wherever he ends up.

By the sounds of it Stokes wants to come here but if the stories at the time were right so did Leigh when we enquired about him.I'd rather it was done asap either way.If it falls through late in the transfer window we then go into panic buy mode and are left with scraps.I wouldn't want us bringing in someone just for the sake of it.

As someone else mentioned we all thought it was a done deal with Griffiths previously and Celtic scuppered it.

Sounds by the tone of Their managers statement that it may happen again

Hope not as think he will score plenty if he returns

I heard on the radio that LG wanted to stay and fight for his place.

Personally though, I don't think we'll sign Stokes. We've seen all this 'so and so has signed' stuff before and it's been a load of nonsense. RD said there are multiple clubs interested, so from my perspective I think it's unlikely.

Been doing a bit digging tonight see if Stokes deal is on or off. Getting same reply that he'll be here and looks forward to working with Stubbs. So I'll be very surprised if he does end up somewhere else.

Stubbs seems to be the pull in this after Henderson and Dylan been giving him praise.

Hope you are right but I doubt Celtic would loan him to us- would jeopardise the The Rangers return- too much money at stake to give us a leg up?

Think this is one of these myths which are born on Hibs.net from time to time. Rangers are in so much doodoo that they will only have short term value to Celtic even if they do get promoted. Celtic will know that too.

[Col2]

Chat I got today from someone I trust and is reasonably connected with Hibs is that this deal is not a done deal and while player and Hibs want it to happen, Celtic want him to go to another club.

View was that this could go to the wire which will make the decision on Anier interesting given that is meant to be this week.

As I think someone mentioned earlier, that sounds very similar to when we were meant to be getting Griffiths on loan last season.

Alternatively, if league reconstruction is on the cards then Celtc might like the idea of Sevco reaching the top flight through reconstruction rather than by winning the second tier. It would certainly appeal to their fans.

[Jim44]

Reconstruction is not on the cards, IMHO. Lip service will be paid but no action will be taken. The ugly sisters have already put their smokescreen into place, with Warburton saying he favours reconstruction and Delilah coming out against it. Clever, eh, no colliusion. In truth, they both really want the status quo, giving them at least four ugly sister derbies. Celtic's views will prevail and Sevco will be reluctantly, but inwardly purring, forced to accept the status quo. The only possible spanner in the works is the unlikely event of Sevco not getting promotion, in which case Celtic will concede defeat. That's my conspiracy theory anyway.:greengrin

Reports are that Celtc prefer he went on loan to England.

Sounds anything like a 'done deal' to me.

I would say that Stokes should be thankful Hibs are interested in him, not the other way around.

[Hibbyradge]

Exactly. I have no expectation that Stokes will come to Easter Road.

To be honest, that's perfectly fine. As long as we keep the current squad together, we will be good enough to win promotion.

[snooky]

Bottom line is, Celtc more than likely want TRFC back in the big league (albeit in a weakened state) so they can get 4 OF matches and give them a good whipping into the bargain. Why would they want to strengthen us at this point? :dunno:

[Heisenberg]

Deila has said this...

“He has some options and so do we,” said Deila. “He has to go on loan to play games and get running again. It hasn’t been decided what club but hopefully that will be very quick. It’s not only his decision, it has to be right for us but if he doesn’t want to go then it cannot happen. There has to be an agreement.”

Makes it sound like Stokes and Celtc don't quite agree on his destination as of yet.

Aye, that's very much the impression I get too. Stokes would like to come to Hibs but Deila wants him to go down South.
TBH, I can't really say I am worried one way or another. It really all depends on what Anthony Stokes we get, one that wants to get his head down and play fitba and get his career back on track, or one that is more interested in life off the park and could end up disrupting the dressing room. If it's the former then we would have made a very good signing because he is a class player, especially in our division.

[blackpoolhibs]

Delia is talking sheite, i read its a done deal.

[.Sean.]

Stokes is a good player who'd rip this league for arsepaper. I really don't have any time for his background or baggage but if he comes in and scores goals so be it. Lucky football supporters are allowed to be fickle :greengrin

Stokes will end up where he wants to end up, Celtic clearly want him out and only he can decide where he goes. If he digs his heels in and really want to sign for Hibs there's no much Celtic can do other than let him come to us or keep him in the stand.

[Geo_1875]

Delia is talking sheite, i read its a done deal.

I don't know if it's a done deal but whatever happens Delia will have no input to the decision. He's as likely to leave Celtc before Stokes.

[The_Exile]

It's a done deal in the mind of Stokes IMO, he'll want to stay local and come play for us where a couple of his good mates are. Celtic probably don't want him to come here but when all's said and done a loan move destination involving a playersof Stokes ability is very much decided by the player and not the club. I think we'll see him signed til the end of the season but if not, wouldn't surprise me if he was kept at Celtic to sit in the stands.

[sambajustice]

Surely with our special relationship (sic) with Ra Tic there should be no issue with Stokes coming to ER...

[blackpoolhibs]

I don't know if it's a done deal but whatever happens Delia will have no input to the decision. He's as likely to leave Celtc before Stokes.


Of course you do, he's not signed for Hibs at this moment in time, so its clearly not a done deal at this time. :greengrin

Not exactly "down south"

[Paisley Hibby]

I feel the only folk leading us up the garden path are those saying it's a "done deal". If he was my player and I was planning to sell him I'd want to have him playing on loan at the highest level possible to boost his eventual sale value. He might still come to us but only if Celtic give in to "player power" and so far they show no signs of doing so.

[Andy74]

I wouldn't believe anyone chucking figures around on here.

[Stevie Reid]

Doesn't sound too encouraging at first, though I can't see any way United will stay up this season. Hopefully, if he does have the option of coming to us, he'll fancy playing in a side that creates loads of chances, and plays in front of bigger crowds of happier fans - rather than being relegated.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Mixu also says he feels Utd are NOT favourites to sign Stokes, and he has spoken to the player

[flash]

Pretty sure he won't be our only target. Strikes me as one that came out of the blue and we are probably looking at others as well.

[jacomo]

Delia is talking sheite, i read its a done deal.

If we won't cover all his wages (how could we?) and another club will then it's not a done deal at all.
