Anthony Stokes

[Golden Bear]

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.

There's absolutely no place for a sensible post like this on Hibs Net.

Get a grip man!

:grr:


:greengrin

[matty_f]

But but, the Facebook pages are saying its a done deal............:rolleyes:

Quite a few on here said it was a done deal too, no point getting precious about Facebook groups.

SSN breaking - Dundee UTD have just put in a loan request with Celtic... Mixu f'n us over, over Anier :greengrin

[Forza Fred]

There is obviously something blocking his move to Hibs, which suggests after the delay so far, he won't becoming.

After all, it appears he wants to come, we want home to come, but still, after days media exposure he hasn't joined us.

Methinks the rabbit may jump out another manager's hat somewhere else, and I wonder if Collins may be feeding Delia with stories.

Celtic have a greed a deal with Dundee UTD but Mixu doesnt think they player will go to them.... i think Stokes is clearly stating he wants to go somewhere... hopefully us.

No its Hibs ensuring the get the best deal for Hibs.

I see it the same way. Unfortunately in the case of a loan, I think celtic hold most of the cards here. If they really don't want him coming to Hibs, refusing to go elsewhere would be self-destructive on the player's part and keeping a very useful striker in the squad would hardly be a great tragedy for the club.

[CallumLaidlaw]

Well Utd have offered to pay more of the wages that Hibs have. The player has made it clear he wants to go to Hibs. Celtic & Hibs need to meet some way in the middle. Im sure the Boss knows what she is doing. We cannot just agree to what Celtic want. We have wage structures in place for a reason.

I understand our revenue stream is down due to being in the Championship but considering Dundee Utd are facing almost certain relegation I am quite disappointed they are able to pay a higher proportion of his wages than us. This is now more down to Stokes desire to play for us IMO. If he really wants to come to us it will happen. Only time will tell.

Can we use the money we are spending on Anier (if any) to supplement Stokes deal?

Suspect it's more that Dundee Utd's need is greater, so they're willing to pay more. We already have Cummings scoring regularly, they have nobody so are prepared to push the boat out to try and save themselves.

I would imagine Utd are in a slightly more desperate situation and are less worried about Wage structures etc. Would be a last roll of the dice for them.

Anthony Stokes Update

It has emerged this morning that Dundee Untd have agreed to Celtic’s terms and conditions for the loan move of Anthony Stokes. Dundee Untd's chances of landing Stokes has been significantly boosted by Scottish lottery winner David Martin who has been in contact with the club after winning £33 million, offering investment for the club which includes paying Anthony’s wages for the duration of the loan spell.

Celtic have now accepted 6 loan offers for Anthony Stokes - Inverness C.T, Hibernian FC, Dundee Utd and three English Championship clubs. The final decision on where Anthony will go on loan until the end of the season will be decided by the player.

We will update you as and when we have more information.

United and Celtic have agreed a deal in Stokes. According to Sky sports

They have but Stokes apparent favoured destination is still Hibs

[GreenArmyyy!]

The Hibernian Retro thing would be an extremely strange story to fabricate tbh.

Not one for rumours but my mate (a Celtic fan) was talking to Liam Henderson in Livingston shopping centre yesterday and said Stokes is coming to Hibs.

Shoeless Bob back on the scene again? He was from the borders I think.

Haha brilliant. Somebody else was saying the lottery winner has absolutely no interest in football at all. Got to love the transfer window....

[allezsauzee]

Presumably Stokes is getting paid his normal wage from Celtic regardless of his destination? In which case surely his choice will be based on what suits his personal circumstances

[mjhibby]

What a soap opera this is becoming. It sounds like stokes wants to come as he knows the set up and mcgeoch and henderson plus I'm sure is aware of Stubbs Celtic connection. Delilah and Collins have other ideas and with all things involving those two they seem to make everything a battle. The money thing is irrelevant as stokes just wants to play. We need to be focusing on Sundays game and not be distracted by this saga. Is Cummings back in training etc.

[TamHibs]

Celtic have to agree to the destination aswel I would assume. Especially if they are putting up the biggest % of his wages

[Bayern Bru]

Presumably Stokes is getting paid his normal wage from Celtic regardless of his destination? In which case surely his choice will be based on what suits his personal circumstances

The chat is that Celtic want the loan club to pay a portion of Stokes' wages - he's on around £8,000 a week.

[MB62]

It is now being reported on the BBC Sport home page that Celtc & Dundee Utd have agreed the deal.

[Since90+2]

Dundee Utd would be the worst possible destination for us as they are potential play off opponents if we dont win the league.

A partnership of Stokes and Billy McKay has the potential to score goals.

[CB_NO3]

Out of all scottish clubs, Stokes will choose Hibs first. My only worry is the English Championship clubs.

[Paloschi]

Make of this what you will and I do not claim to be an ITK poster.

A family member has heard from someone inside the club, a source close to the players, that the Stokes deal had been agreed between Hibs, Celtic and the player on Tuesday afternoon as the only concrete interest came from us, ICT and Dundee United. Stokes chose us, as indicated in the media.

However since then I believe Cardiff and Ipswich had missed out on their other targets and submitted offers on Tuesday afternoon and Deila pulled the plug stating he prefers Stokes to go down south. Hibs have been very frustrated by Celtic's handling of this, the deal had been agreed just not finalised on paper.

For what it is worth the family member used to work at Hibs and is well connected to a few members of staff that remain. Only posting what I was told.

[Juice-Terry]

I've just been told by a very reliable inside source that it's wholly down to Celtic and that we will hopefully know either way after a meeting which will take place this afternoon. Said source suspects that Cetlic's reluctance to let Stokes go to Hibs is that it will reduce The Rangers' chances of automatic promotion. (I got the impression that wages is not the stumbling block.)

It seems from many folk on here that it's smeltic that are holding things up. Hibs want the player and the player wants to come. But I'm not sure if it's the wages that are holding things up or it's smeltic's very reluctance to sending Stokes to Hibs.

Henderson is just a young up and coming player who's still learning, he's part of their future and game time is what he's needing, Stokes on the other hand will hamper Rangers rise back to the SPFL and the 4 games they both crave for next season.

2. Keep him warming the bench.

They dont get on so why would Stokes do anything other than piss him off.

Celtic don't want him to come to us / Hibs offer not favourable and player needs a decent move so English championship becomes his second choice rather than throw his toys out of pram that he can't get to go to Hibs.

No I still think he will. It was a tongue in cheek post! Celtic are doing what they can to put him off playing in the Scottish championship which is a shame as he was happy enough earlier on in the week with it.

Hopefully Stubbs can speak to him again and get this over the line.

One of the main pulls to Hibs is he doesn't want to uproot his family or travel far so unless Celtic are really forcing it upon him I would be surprised if he goes down south.

[Golden Bear]

Radio Scotland is of the opinion that the Stokes situation won't be resolved until the last week of the transfer window.

I think it boils down to who has a more secure future at Parkhead - Stokes or Delia.

The best experience Stokes could get to prepare him for going back to Parkhead would be to play in a team who are under pressure to win every week, create a lot of chances and are in a head to head title race with Rangers. If (and it's a big if) he has a future at Parkhead following a loan spell to get match fit then it's a no-brainer that he joins us. He can go back there and score goals under a new manager, or under this one in the unlikely event that they kiss and make up.

But I think Delia wants rid of him permanently, scuppering our chances. If their board back their manager then there is no way he'll be coming to us. I'm not sure they will though, I reckon Delia's coat is on the shoogliest of pegs.

No inside info, just opinion btw.

Delilah could be gone soon. If they back him and are knocked out of the Champions League early doors next season, they will have to sack him, Lawwell will have to resign as well. Damage limitation, methinks.

[Geo_1875]

But they allowed us Henderson on loan & Dylan as part of the SA deal. Doesn't really make sense!

I agree. If they really wanted the huns back in the premier league they wouldn't have stolen Scott Allan from under their noses and given us 2 quality players in return.

[portyhibernian]

If his choice is Hibs then I don't see what Celtic stand to gain from blocking a move here. If he comes here, performs well and scores a few (helping us get promoted of course), then they get back a player who can possibly contribute something to them for the remainder of his contract, or at least possibly recieve some offers for him. Currently he's out of favour there and picking up a wage for nothing.

[CB_NO3]

As someone else said. Delia wants rid of Stokes. If he goes to the English Championship and does well Celtic can demand a decent fee for him.

[scoopyboy]

At the beginning of the thread, hardly anybody wanted him. Now that Hibs have expressed an interest everybody wants him.
It's the Hibs.net way.

If it's not going to happen the I'd rather it was now, I'd hate for us to be running around daft at the last minute if Stokes falls through on January 31st.

Exactly so. And who would be the bigger hero at Parkhead? Deila - who will have Celtic stumbling over the line to win the league, or Stokes who might just stop the huns getting promotion?

His stat so far don't make good reading in England

His scoring rate is shocking in England compared to Scotland. In 63 games down south he found the net only 6 times!! 258 games in Scotland with 116 goals. If he wants to impress it makes sense to stay in Scotland

[Brightside]

Do people not have notepads on their desks any more. Much easier for doodling. :aok:

[brog]

Henderson is just a young up and coming player who's still learning, he's part of their future and game time is what he's needing, Stokes on the other hand will hamper Rangers rise back to the SPFL and the 4 games they both crave for next season.

Doesn't really matter though does it? AS obviously thought Henderson would improve our team & has confirmed that by making LH pretty much an automatic starter. Any improvement in our team obviously reduces Sevco's chances of promotion. I'm sure Celtc want Sevco back in top league ASAP but I'm equally sure they would not do anything that was seen to be helping achieve that objective.
Celtc fans would go berserk at that notion.

I'm now convinced that Stokes is not in a position to make a decision currently ...as he has been abducted by aliens.
Given the amount of speculation on this thread I'd go one further and suggest that this opinion is just like most of the speculation in the previous 29 pages and the said aliens hail from Uranus.
I could of course be wrong and he could be gaily skipping down Easter road at this moment looking for the nearest Greggs to buy a lovely steak bake before nipping into the nearest bookie to put a monkey on his next move.

From the Scotland Live bit on the BBC Website -


Inverness CT manager John Hughes has confirmed that loan target Anthony Stokes will not be joining from Celtic.

Hughes confirmed he had spoken to the player but moved on as "reading between the lines" the club realised "he didn't fancy Inverness.

The Inverness manager said: "We wish him all the best. Whoever gets him is getting a real talented footballer.

"We just have to move on but to be honest we were sort of doing that three or four days ago.

"We read the picture, reading between the lines we realised he didn't fancy Inverness."

I can understand why the finance-y people at Celtc would want them up, and anyway, Rangers aren't going to be competing with them for the Champions League place in the next few years. Rangers will be fighting for 2nd place with a few other sides, when they do eventually go up.

There was a study a few weeks back, maybe someone can remember where it was published, stating figures and the only teams who's attendances were affected were us for very obvious reasons and Celtic since Sevco were parachuted up to the Third division. The fans aren't interested if they are not competing with Rangers.

There may have been one or two other sides but the notion that Scottish football has no competition is far from the truth, only Rantic see otherwise

Don't think wages will matter too much. He still gets paid his wage. Celtic might want to recoup some but getting him game time would be the main thing for them.

Hibs will only be able to offer for arguments sake £2k from an £8k weekly wage whereas as team from down south would be in a position to offer the full whack and this will be why Celtic want him to move down south. Celtic save £8k a week and puts Stokes at a higher level in prep for his possible return next season or if not, puts him in the shop window . It makes perfect business sense but some on here would have you think otherwise

I can understand why the finance-y people at Celtc would want them up, and anyway, Rangers aren't going to be competing with them for the Champions League place in the next few years. Rangers will be fighting for 2nd place with a few other sides, when they do eventually go up.

Really second ? I think they will struggle to make top 6 or top 8 if it is fixed.


Alagui for definite I think but I would like to see Boyle stay. Still feel he has something to offer Hibs.

I would agree with that. However in Stubbs I trust.

[WhileTheChief..]

It's gonna happen :)

Tremendous business by Hibs.

[TamHibs]

Feruz away too according to the Sun.

if true, it won't make any difference to what we pay for Stokes wages as we weren't paying anything towards Feruz's wage anyway

[AinsterHibs]

I reckon hibs are having a clear out in order to get cover his wages

Seems likely....

Looks like that corner kick Feruz won against Alloa will remain the highlight of his professional career.

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

But he does not believe he does not believe the Tannadice club are the favourites to sign him during the January transfer window

Does this mean he does believe it?

For sure? Or you guessing?

Well it sounds like we wern't paying for Feruz so no wages there to cover? More like releasing a player that has made no impact whatsoever in his time here.

[Geo_1875]

Boyle??? He;s going nowhere. He has a hair transplant to pay for.

Boyle getting Fontaine's beard trimmings glued to his head. Shouldn't cost too much.

[lucky]

That's 3 out but 2 in. Maybe making room for Stokes.

4 if Sun are correct - Stanton, Forster, Anier, Feruz.

[Thecat23]

Feruz away too according to the Sun.

I posted it long before they did ;)

[FT'J'Bo's]

SSN just announced that Celtic have agreed to loan Stokes to Dundee Utd, so long as Stokes agrees!

The announced that hours ago, Stokes has snubbed the move

Yip, and I won't miss Feruz. Never seen much to make me think he was that special.

Hope he gets his act together though. So much was thought of him - and so very little shown.
