Can still get 1/4 on Bet Victor.

If it's really a done deal then there's still the chance to make plenty of cash!

[Franck Stanton]

TC - Thanks for the pm mate, always put a lot of faith in your posts.

I am finding it highly amusing that whilst looking at this thread I am seeing adverts for hair transplant procedures :tee hee:

If we get this over the line it will be a fantastic bit of business.

Over which line ? .... Finishing line ? .... Hair line ? 🤔

Yep I agree.

However there will always be that window when a deal is done but it hasn't been announced yet.

I'm not in ITK, but if some people are and know this to be the case, then I was simply pointing out that the opportunity is there.

[NorthNorfolkHFC]

I am pretty pleased that Stokes is signing as when fit he is a quality striker.

Couple of things concern me though. Does he partner Jason? That means we drop Dom who at the moment is the only striker we have that holds the ball bringing our midfield into the game.

Secondly, he's not played for months. When is he likely to be fit?

Thirdly, I'm not enjoying the love in and favours from Celtic just now. I appreciate that Stubbs may have contacts there but I just wonder how long it'll be before Stubbs, McGinn and Cummings et al trot along the M8 after 'taking Hibs as far as they could'.

Lastly, any comparisons of Stokes signing to Latapy and Sauzee are radio rental!!!!!

I wouldn't mind seeing Malonga tried at the tip of the diamond in place of Keatings.

His ability to control and hold onto the ball could be a huge asset in that role and bring others into the game.

There's been a few that have likened this signing as a major coup. It's a good one but not incredible.

Only downside is he could upset an already stable applecart but I reckon he'll want to make an impression so all good.

Exactly, as soon as its posted anywhere on the net it's open to be posted elsewhere. I've no issue with any Hibs news sites on Twitter or FB. They have posted many things that I hadn't heard and were true! Some info like here comes off and others don't. If folk stopped posting little bits of info this place would be pretty boring.

What squad number will he wear?

[Diclonius]

What squad number will he wear?

I'm guessing 9 if El Alagui's gone. Otherwise, 20?

[Andy74]

So taking a 50/50 punt on whether an already pretty well trailed press story will complete or not is now being ITK? 😉

In that case my sources tell me it will be done. Mind, stuff always goes wrong so I can't be responsible for that.

[hibee-boys]

I thought Stokes had agreed earlier in the week and that it was Celtic holding things up? What would Stokes have to agree on exactly if the clubs have agreed the financials??

[MB62]

Thought I heard Stubbs on Forth One news at 3.00pm saying something like they had agreed a deal and were just trying to tie things up with Anthony and his representatives.
That sounds to me like Stokes Agent is looking for more than Hibs are prepared to bung him

[monktonharp]

And what would Hibs be bunging him!!!!!!!

[The_Exile]

Sounds a bit odd that we need to be discussing terms with him? His Celtic contract can't be altered can it? Can you legally earn bonus money at another club? Perhaps he wants his goal bonuses to still be paid etc? Dunno how it all works TBH.

[easty]

And what would Hibs be bunging him!!!!!!!

Loyalty points probably

[GreenCastle]

I thought Stokes had agreed earlier in the week and that it was Celtic holding things up? What would Stokes have to agree on exactly if the clubs have agreed the financials??

Yup - that was the chat - He wanted to come back and help us win promotion / get one over Sevco.

Then Celtic had agreed terms with Utd - but player not keen to play in a relegation battle.

Now Hibs and Celtic agree...but reported Stokes need to agree personal terms..

Hopefully an official conclusion ASAP as we reach a crucial point in the season.

I thought that whoever pays his wages, his wages would be the same. Maybe he is negociating things like guaranteed game time, goals bonuses and other conditions. I can't think what else would have to be discussed.

Guys, I imagine all the hold is is just waiting on the paper work etc being finalised with the SPFL/SFA etc.

Putting a clause in his contract that if he borrows money from the youngsters again, he doesn't need to pay them back again :greengrin

[iwasthere1972]

What a carry on. You would think that it was Messi or Ronaldo that we were chasing and not a Celtic player who can't even get a game for them.

Get it done.

Will be interesting to see if he's on the bench tonight at Tannadice for Celtic.


At Easter Road we play...

That's the first time I've ever seen Hibs discuss an incomplete transfer on the official website.

Any chance the title could be edited to not signed or signed in brackets?

[LordBamba]

From Hibs web:

Speaking to Hibs TV, he said: “We’ve made contact with Celtic regarding Anthony Stokes. We’ve agreed in principal with Celtic a deal to hopefully speak to Anthony, we just need to tie one or two things up now with him and his advisor.

“Following that we will hopefully be in a position where we can announce something, but we’re not at that stage yet.”

[Juice-Terry]

Strange thing to announce unless the club are certain to sign him.

[Hibeewilly]

Formalities I would think or else he wouldn't have announced it. As I said in an earlier post it could be to do with securing his services for next season should the loan deal work out. I cant think of any other reason as we definitely have agreement with Celtic so it cant be wages

[Vault Boy]

Great to see the club keeping us informed on where the deal is actually at, they must know that some fans are getting a bit restless with it all. Delighted that it's nearly done. :aok:

[AinsterHibs]

Right, I am now completely bald and nail-less.

Come on Hibs and Stokes, get it done.

:flag:

[Onion]

Game time and a few extra quid if he helps Hibs pip the Huns to promotion, and scores the winner in the Scottish Cuo Final and guarantees Hibs Euro footie next season. :greengrin

[Monts]

Feels to me this statement has been made by hibs to try and force the issue a little. If it was just a formality, why bother saying anything now? Why not just wait til it's sorted properly?

That's what I thought. If he has signed then announce it, If he's not then don't say nothing until he has signed.

It's all very reminiscent of the Scotty Allan gate, albeit the two clubs hadn't agreed anything yet but we are still going in to the public domain about a player who as of yet has nothing to do with us

Hibs are the third club to go public about Stokes. Hopefully we will be more successful that United or ICT

[snooky]

Maybe AT (or his agent) is trying moving the goalposts at this late stage and it's Hibs way of saying "We've done everything we can so if he doesn't sign it's his fault"
(which he might). :dunno:

[Onion]

Which is very unlike us. Trying to calm down all the speculation?

Well, that worked :greengrin

[Lucius Apuleius]

Without going back thru the last few pages of this thread, am I right in thinking that we're in exactly the same position as Dundee United were in yesterday?

When the other team has agreed you can talk to the player it is very different.

[Andy74]

Yes but we appear to have a few sources suggesting he wants to come to us. They had the opposite.

This whole saga is very odd - not tapping up as a loan player.

It's not calming down fans at all - quite the opposite :greengrin

[Waxy]

I blame this thread. Its been a frenzy for days. Fantastic.

[FromTheCapital]

Without going back thru the last few pages of this thread, am I right in thinking that we're in exactly the same position as Dundee United were in yesterday?

Near enough.

Only difference being that we're making contact with Anthony and he's interested. He didn't fancy United at all.

All in all, I wouldn't be surprised if he was announced as a Hibs player tonight, at some point.

That seems to be the case. Although it appears that the player is much more interested in our case.

When a deal has been agreed you then get the paper work put through. This can takes couple of hours for all signatures etc or can be longer depending on clearance.

Some think deals are a case of walking in signing then that's it. It can all be agreed but take a while to actually go through officially.

Funny as that was prob more likely than the Stokes deal but shows what could happen at the last min.

[Jim44]

For a situation where the player is allegedly keen and the receiving club is keen, the protracted discussion seems to be a bit puzzling. Maybe the whole thing has been too public and that all loan arrangements go on like this one. I'm trying to think of another comparable example.

Anthony must be 'the rabbit' given the amount of bugs there's been up to now.

Stokes agreed as far back as Tuesday he'd be happy to come back. All that was needed was personal terms and others moving on. Other teams as you know wanted him and he turned them down.

Now that both clubs have agreed this, Stokes I'd expect will be here shortly!

[Sas_The_Hibby]
