Anthony Stokes

[GreenArmyyy!]

Did anybody else just hear Stubb's on BBC Scotland refusing to confirm or deny we are about to get Stokes here on loan?

Was that not just Hughes saying he would like to have him on loan at ICT?

SSN reported a possible loan to ICT yesterday...

We already have Henderson so we can't get another player from Celtic.

End of rumour.

At its meeting yesterday (Monday 13 January), the SPFL Board agreed that the SPFL’s Temporary Transfer Regulations should be adjusted.

It will now be permitted for an SPFL club to lend a maximum of two players to another SPFL club, so long as the receiving club plays in a different division (higher or lower division).

You can only get one player on loan from the same team if those teams are in the same division. If the clubs are in different divisions then you can get two players on loan at the same time.

Strange, it works for me. Anyway, HR has posted it above. We can get 2 players on loan from Celtic so it's not quite 'end of rumour' yet.

I wouldn't put it past Celtic bidding £750k for Cummings and we get the cash plus stokes on loan.

Same. Nowhere near enough to compensate us for someone who could, and I think will, be the difference between us getting promoted and not. Getting Stokes would be a bonus but he's not played this season and it'd take him a good few weeks to get match fit.

Stokes would score more goals than Cummings I reckon.

[Big_Franck]

A match fit, in form Stokes i'd agree. Stokes in the state we'd be getting him in i'd have my doubts.

Hopefully we can keep Cummings and get Stokes though :greengrin

[Stevie Reid]

I thought Neil Lennon turned Stokes into a much better all round forward, he still scored goals under him but I thought his link up play was much improved and made him a much more dangerous player than the out and out goalscorer he was before. IIRC he put in two excellent crosses for the Gary Hooper goals that scunnered our chances pretty early on in the 2013 cup final.

Don't know what's happened under Deila (though he didn't seem to previously rate Griffiths that much, either) but I'd be delighted if we were to get him. Would imagine he'd score a huge amount in this league, and chance conversion is still something that we can improve on significantly.

[scoopyboy]

I'd settle for a high score draw. :greengrin

With Hughes at ICT I can see Stokes going on loan there, sadly, as a few have already said I think he would fill his boots at this level.

He seems to have a high regard for Hughes who brought him to Easter Road and to Falkirk previous to that.

He'll 100% end up somewhere on loan. Cant see it being with us or ICT though. He wont fancy Inverness and wants to make a push for the Euro's so needs to play.

IF he really does want to push himself and is fit... he'd score for fun in our team (in my opinion, more than Cummings).

I don't know. Given that it's only a short term loan deal, the thought of having to move house for no extra cash would put me off.

In the grand scheme of Scottish football... With Celtic no longer involved in Europe, he has as much chance of making squad playing for us, in my opinion. Can't imagine playing for ICT would give him any advantage over us and he ain't getting a game in Glasgow.... Saying all this, I believe Leeds are interested in him also and money may well dictate.

[Stevie Reid]

I think that the Republic have shown over the years that playing at a lower level (or not even playing) is not an impediment to featuring for them.

It could also be argued that going from not playing for Celtic, to featuring in a Hibs team that are the main rivals to Rangers for a league title, may raise his profile more than going to Inverness (no disrespect to Falkirk or ICT).

[Big L]

Theirs no doubt that celtic will be monitoring AS, especially with Deila's jacket being on a shoogly nail. Plus Stokes does not want to leave Celtic.. Stokes coming to us for a few months will give him an opportunity to impress his future manager and get the chance to go back to Celtic, all makes perfect sense to me. As for Cummings, If the price is right Hibs will sell him.

[jacomo]

Not really. Yogi always reckoned Stokes was worth the hassle. Others disagree.

IMO he would be a big risk for us right now.

JC has no real loyalty to us, we took a punt on a young lad who was rejected by his boyhood heroes, it stuck in throat the way they treated him and he's grateful to us for giving him his chance but he's a determined ambitious lad and he'll be champing at the bit to show what he can do at a higher level, don't be too disappointed if his agent starts to test the waters with other clubs in this window, his stock is fairly high.

Yep. If the dressing room is as strong as they say it is one player wouldn't come in and ruin that IMO. The players there would keep him in check.

And we certainly need someone to help Cummings out on a regular basis. He'd easily do that in the championship. That's said, I don't see him signing.

Maybe so, but with the amount of strikers we have at the club already, bringing another one in is unlikely. No?

750k is hardly a knockdown price. How much do you think Cummings is worth? :confused:

Heard we've been told no in the persuit of Stokes on loan. Looks to be on his way to ICT although Leeds and Cardiff are also interested but haven't made contact with Celtic.

[keep the faith]

No danger they would pay 750k. It would be likely to be Stokes on loan and an undisclosed fee.

Would prefer to keep Jason or sell him for proper money down south if we had to. I saw him in the independent newspaper this morning labelled as one of the UK's most desired young players in this transfer window. His stock is high outside Scotland now.

Indeed, know Rotherham, Brighton and Wolves have had him looked at, there will be others (Leeds maybe), his stock is high and as AS said, it would need to be a considerable bid to even be discussed........

[Col2]

Stubbs like all managers will wheel and deal.

Feruz looks like he is going. We have already brought in a striker

Stubbs has option on Anier but might wait until last minute if he thinks he can get Stokes and if he can he would release Anier back to United assuming player ok with this (it's his parent club who want him back so you would expect so)

Cummings being sold might change things with Anier but I would expect some investment (real cash) spent on a replacement

[stu in nottingham]

I'd take him on a loan for the rest of the season because I'm very convinced his goals would fire us to promotion and that's really all that matters to me. It's absolutely crucial.

Signing him permanently is a whole different decision. If there are off-pitch misdemeanours whilst on loan he can go back from whenst he came presumably. A permanent acquisition though - a bit risky (to say the least) on the togetherness of what sounds like an excellent dressing room at Hibs these days. I don't think it's a risk that Stubbs would take but you never know, maybe he thinks he could handle him.

He'd score goals that's for sure mate. I'm still surprised Petrie allowing this (if true) as he wasn't the best guy in the dressing room. But maybe Stubbs can work with him like Allan.

I didn't think Stokes was what he was implying (by text) - I'd take him for the run in - mind, if the squad would accept him I'd take Allan - I'm sure my mate was implying Scott Allan rather than Stokes and he was bang on at each stage of the 'Allan saga'

[Thecat23]

With Hughes looking to take him to a third club, that must put to bed some of the stuff about him not being wanted due to being a bad influence?

If Stokes is coming then Stubbs must feel he can work with him. As for him being a bad influence, many always say what proof? Well he was due 2 players who were first team players a lot of money, how do I know? I spoke to them many times back then. Also due few of the young lads cash but no idea who much, could be £20 could be £100 but the 2 I know of were due money into the hundreds.

For the record I think he'd be a risk but maybe a risk that could win us the league!

I wouldn't touch Allan, his heart just wasn't in it at the end and he burned a few bridges here. Stokes is a huge gamble but as I just posted one that may win us the league.

Hopefully your mate is bang on again. 👍🏼

Is he still though? He says he wants to play but why can't he get in the team?

Sometimes managers and players clash - even the world class players like Messi, Ronaldinho etc......Commons couldn't get a run in the side under Deila......personally I think the Celtic management team have a screw loose !

I'd take AS for 6 months - he could add to a great team and win us the league !

I actually think 750k for cummings now is a decent price, he is unproven in the spl so no one knows how he would do against better players every week, he has proven he can score at this level and thats reflective in the price, i think if he was to go for this much or a bit more there would be a few add ons in case he turns out to be the player a lot of people think he can be

[Jim44]

Collins saying that ICT would be the best move for Stokes. But Celtic's wish that the borrowing team should pay his wages, makes teams like Leeds a better financial fit. I can't see him going to any Scottish team if that's the case.

Totally agree, not a team player, its all about him.

Remember being at Cup replay away to Ross County (nother year where it looked set up for us to win) where he missed a barrowload of sitters and wouldnt pass to Deek. Spent the whole game arguing with Hughes. Actually surprised Yogi wants him, I certainly dont.

Whatever it was he used he has managed him well and got the best out of him. It would be the third club he has taken him to so it'd suggest his worth to the team seems to outweigh whatever it is people seem to think he gets up to.

Stokes - not for me. Way too much unsavoury baggage in his locker.

Strange that ICT should want him though after how "favourably" he spoke about having to go to Inverness to sit in the stand for a Celtic match. Very childish tweets from Stokes that weekend saw Celtic rightfully disciplining him. Stubbs has worked hard to build a squad that looks to want to work for each other, don't want a bad apple coming in at a critical time of the season and potentially spoiling the good work to date.

Let's be honest guys, Cummings has NOT had the flu all week.

It's the transfer window month and he knows and we know, he's away before February.

Stokes would be a very short term and very expensive replacement.

Don't do it Alan.

We won today without him anyway :flag::flag:

I was just thinking that when I saw the Whittaker thread too ...is there any other set of fans who want their previous players to come back as much as we do ? It's mad ...

Absolutely correct.

Whittaker and (especially) Deeks are finished.

Lets move on.

That's the Steven Whittaker who's still playing regularly in the EPL, yeah?

[hhibs]

hes not away fir certain. By not cup tying him tho we have increased his value to a Scottish Club if they want to bid.

There is only one Scottish club that could afford him for goodness sake and I for one would be very peed off if this has been "arranged" by Hibs.

We really would be going back to the bad old days of Petrie at his worst,and no, a loan of Stokes would not make it any better.

[JJP]

JC is a promising talent and he is improving all the time but surely he is not ready for a big money move yet. I'd be shocked if he is leaving so soon, especially to a team such as Celtic. It frustrates me how it is always our players who come in for this kind of attention in the press. Why, for example, is Sam Nicholson not being linked with a move out of Gorgie?

[Paisley Hibby]

We'd be NUTS to sign Stokes. He's just not worth the money it'd take nor the problems he'd bring.

[Sir David Gray]

I think the Stokes rumour has something in it.

I wouldn't put it past Celtic bidding £750k for Cummings and we get the cash plus stokes on loan.

No deal.

[JJP]

I think we would be nuts not to sign Stokes if the chance is there and if he would prefer to come here, as reported. Promotion this season is vital and Stokes knows where the back of the net is. It's not like we are presently scoring a hell of a lot of goals. Although I don't think I would be too keen on a move that would see JC going the other way.

[hhibs]

No deal.

Too true!

[CallumLaidlaw]

If stokes signed for us he'd be the best striker on our books. If he was determined to make the ROI squad, that would only work in our favour. If Stubbs trusted him to come in and work with the squad, then I would too

[Andy74]

Stokes might be the solution for changing nervy 1 nil wins into comfortable 3 or 4 nil wins.

[mentalhibee]

Would be a great signing, quality player. Could help us clinch promotion, get him signed Stubbsy!

[blackpoolhibs]

Stokes would be the best forward we have at the club should he sign, wouldn't care if he borrowed £100k from HSL and never paid it back if it got us up, and maybe won us a cup or two. :greengrin

I hate jumping on people on this board but hopefully you'd had a drink when posting this!

[bingo70]

Does my head in that so many people are so judgemental about a person that they've probably never met.

That was a long time ago he was at hibs and nobody knows what effort he's made as a person since then, if every mistake I made as a 21 year old was in the public domain I dread to think what folk would be saying about me, most of us will have been ********s to some extent at that age.

I realise he's also fallen out with delia recently but he's not exactly the only person to do that.

I just want us to get promoted, Stokes would score the goals that would help us do that, that's literally all I care about.

[Www1875hfc]

Looking forward to seeing Stokes back in a Hibs Jersey. :wink:
He could well be the difference in getting us out this division.

[staunchhibby]

Signing Stokes would hopefuly give us a good plethora of goal scorers and would hopefuly improve our goal scoring in case thay counts at the end of the season.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

Signing Stokes would hopefuly give us a good plethora of goal scorers and would hopefuly improve our goal scoring in case thay counts at the end of the season.

Well said.

He may not be the most popular character but he certainly knows where the goal is.

He would be a massive asset at the business end of the season

[Ozyhibby]

It's not just the goals Stokes brings, he is also very creative and gets a lot of assists. If we can get him then we need to make it happen.

Would be a brilliant signing. Our chances of winning the league and a cup would increase. Great that a player of his ability would turn down top flight clubs to sign for us (if it happens).

22 goals in the 40 games he played for us...in the SPL...in a team on the decline. He may very well have caused problems in the dressing room, but that was then and this is now. If the alleged transgressions are true, then a simple 'Don't lend the guy any money' warning to the present squad would sort that particular worry.

We want and need him to come and score goals for us in a league he'd canter, not to invite him home to meet the folks.

I have my reservations about such an alleged disruptive dressing room influence returning to the club, but he could well be somebody who, short term at least, does us much more good than harm,

His goals could be decisive in our promotion push.

Would be very happy to see one of the best strikers in the SPL play for us, especially considering we are facing Championship opposition every week (apart from the cups). Would improve our attacking threat considerably.

[GreenLake]

I'll be stoked if he signs

[SteveHFC]

ANTHONY STOKES looks set to push for a move to Hibs.SunSport revealed last month that Easter Road boss Alan Stubbs wanted to sign the out-of-favour Hoops hitman on a loan deal until the end of the season.
And we now understand Stokes is prepared to make the switch to the promotion-chasing Championship outfit.

Inverness Caley Thistle are also in the hunt for the 27-year-old along with Dundee United.Caley Jags boss John Hughes was the man to bring Stokes to Scotland when he was in charge of Falkirk.
And Yogi has already offered the striker the opportunity to resurrect his career in the Highlands.

But Stokes is understood to be excited by the prospect of working with Hibees gaffer Stubbs for the next four months.
Liam Henderson is already on loan at Hibs from Celtic and has been singing Stubbs’ praises along with Dylan McGeouch who made the move last summer.
Informal talks between the clubs have taken place with Stokes likely to make a final decision this week.

So Now we've got ex team mates encouraging him to sign, theres a manager trying to buy him for a third different club and he got a new deal at Celtic since joining them but some folk on here who've never met the guy know more than these people and don't want us to sign him as he's trouble?

The first line in your link seems to suggest he's going full circle seen as how he done the exact same thing fiive and a half years ago when he couldn't get out of Easter Road quick enough

Would love to see Stokes back at Hibs!!! Was gutted when he went, he would tear up the Championship and give us some real needle up front!


-------Cummings------------Stokes------------


------------------Malonga----------------------


-----McGinn--------Dylan---------Henderson----



--Stevenson----Hanlon----Gunnarasson----Grey--

Bench: Boyle as impact with keatings and Fontaine and Bartley

IMHO it would allow us to use Malonga and Dylan more effectively

The rumours spread so successfully about the gambling and disruption of the dressing room when he left that a lot of folk can't see past it.

I thought at the time it was leaked to keep us "happy" and keep everyone quiet due us only getting £700k or so.

No danger he is 1/3 on

Why would I say he's 1/3 if he's not?

[HUTCHYHIBBY]

Stokes knows how to put a free kick in the back of the net too, would be a very handy signing.

What evidence would support you leaving Fontaine and McGregor out of the team for Gunnarsson?

[CorrieHibs]

Not seen on this on another thread. So thought I would ask. Has anyone else heard about Cummings going to Derby? Maybe that's why we're getting stokes in? Would hate to lose Cummings though. Think it's too soon for a big move. Another season or 2.

Their manager has been on local TV saying they have already done all their January transfer business

None, it is the Hibs net way, we sign someone new and stick them in our make believe team.....But I wanna see his long throw :greengrin

This thread is conclusive proof that some people will just moan about any signing. It now seems to be likely that we're going to get hold of a 27 year old striker - who was brilliant for us first time round and probably a better all round player now - who has played in the Champions League, and has scored 122 goals in 241 starts in his career.

Yet people are categorically stating that they do not want him? It will be one of the most astonishing bits of business we have ever pulled off if we get this deal done, and he could well be the difference between us winning the league and settling for a play off place.

can he even play central defence thought he was a full back

Managers to tend to say things like that IMO to try and play the game that a potential signing may not be as important as the selling club might think they are. Derby will be wanting to go up this season so would be majorly surprised if they dont push the boat out this window.
