Anyone think we can keep hold of him for next season ?
I reckon with them getting a new manager he might be required there because he's defo a smashing player with a great future ahead of him..

More likely to get Allan back which I'd be fine with.
A midfield of Fyvie, McGeouch, Mcginn, Bartley, Allan + 1 more and maybe Scott Martin coming through would be a good top 6 SPL midfield if we go up. Could be anything if we stay down, players will come and go for sure.

I think if the decision was down to Liam Henderson he would choose to stay with us. He clearly loves the Hibees.

The people that think he's going to walk into Celtic's first team are kidding themselves. Allan and Christie, better players can't get much of a look in and they will need to improve with Rangers being back in the league.
If we stay down he won't stay. However if we go up and make a decent offer to Celtic I think we may be able to land him.
Celtic will spend in the summer after their loss to Rangers, they have bided their time waiting and saving money on average players. Johansen, Brown etc are all on a shoogly peg when a new manager comes in and Henderson, Allan will be down the pecking order again.

Henderson will not cut it at Celtic IMO. He has lots of nice touches but not much of an end product. Can see him moving down south.

I see where you're coming from but remember he us still very young. If he adds goals to his game he could go all the way.

If I was a new manager with huge expectations coming in, I would already have the players I wanted pencilled in.
Don't think that would include someone who had been on loan to a Scottish lower tiered league side, as the view would be that I needed Instant results, and someone 'stepping up' would not supply that instant improvement.
The shelf life for managers is decreasing, and while lip service is paid to it at some clubs, 'development' is not a huge priority....winning is.
I think Liam will move south eventually.

Haven't they already wasted their money on players like Pukki and Scepovic? I doubt Celtic will be spending much money any time soon.

The last time I looked at Kerrydale Street, I saw a thread which suggested he was really well thought of at Celtic. I suppose it depends on the thoughts of the new manager, but, who knows, there's maybe a chance we can get him on loan for one more season. I can't see Scott Allan returning.

Henderson is a huge Celtic fan. If you look at the interview he gave to the Irish lad after our semi, he clearly stated he wanted Celtic to win against the Huns despite it meaning he would miss out.
I reckon he will be farmed out again by Celtic, only this time to a premier league team if we don't go up or to a championship side down South.

Political answer to the question though imagine how it would have gone down with his employers or fans if he said he wanted Rangers to win just so he could play in a final.

I'd like to think we'll at least be asking the question...
Celtic are overloaded in midfield and a new manager will want to bring in new players.
The new manager will probably want to take a look at all of his options though, so it might be up in the air until the end of August.

He also said pretty clearly to the question about if he wanted Rangers to win, 'nah, no way, I'm a Celtic man'. In his Glasgow accent. He's clearly a born Celtic fan and our chances of getting him are very slim imo.
Would be a great addition though, he's been smashing for us!

He is keen to play football. Since he's been at Hibs he's received 1 text from John Kennedy & nothing from Delia. He would be happy to play at Hibs again but that's up to the nee Celtic manager.
Yes he is a Celtic fan,7 of the squad are, but he did have a Hibs ST for 2 years when we was younger.
The question is has he improved as much and developed as much for Celtics liking on loan at us? Two national finals and big pressure games says to me he is getting the exposure at least but I can't see him getting a game at Parkhead any time soon. Hopefully he's back next season.

Interesting about having a season ticket for us when he was younger. In an ideal world the new Celtic manager will come in, not fancy him, and we'll be his first choice as we'll be in a more attractive position anyway being back in the Premier League.

That's crazy if that's the extent of the contact between the parent club and a young prospect.

I think we have a half decent chance of keeping him, if we get promoted. Celtic will feel the NEED to be better than Rangers next year. henderson is a great prospect, but he has played against Rangers a number of times this season without being the difference between the sides on any occasion. I can't see him getting a first team berth for Celts next year. Of course it all depends on the new manager, but I think we have every chance of we are in the top league.

He may be used by their new manager as an example that celtic are promoting and giving a chance to their youth, it was one of the reasons Deila got the job i think because of his work with promoting youngsters at stromsgodset, however ultimately he failed to do this at celtic and perhaps it added to the pressure in getting him sacked. Whats the chances of Brown finishing of his career were he started :wink: ? if celtic do an overhaul of their squad.

No chance they will spend to sell season tickets and hammer rangers.
Brown has never hid a desire to finish up here.

I feel sure their new manager will be happy to listen to offers. Question will be whether we can offer them enough and I don't see why not.

Reading online and listening to punters, they said Celtic tried something different with Deila by bringing in young players and trying to develop them but they weren't good enough for Europe and are still struggling to an extent in the league. Getting beat by Rangers have game them a wake up call, I'm not saying they'll spend huge but the cheque book will come out and a good few in that squad will be away.

No chance will Henderson be getting a game for Celtic next year so he may well be back here to continue his development. If i'm honest he frustrates me at times with his poor end product and poor shooting. When I watch his first touch and good technique I keep thinking he is about to do something special but he rarely does. You can't fault his effort though and he is capable of improving and going on to be a top player.

Broonie was one of my favourite Hibs players and I always hoped he'd end his career with us. (Some might say he already did :stirrer:) These days? I don't think him returning would be a good idea for him &/or us.
Thanks for the memories, Scott. BTW, you should have gone south rather than west.

Sellik have a totally bloated squad in size terms. A new manager will want to strip it back and replace numbers with actual quality, especially in the midfield. Scott Allan and Ryan Christie are probably safe from a new manager's broom as they are Scottish, on long term contracts, relatively cheap and the club paid money for them to be developed and brought on. Scott Brown would command a transfer fee well beyond what we could pay if Celtic say he is surplus to requirement (doubt they will).
For LH, I'd say it's a different story. Given the size of the Sellik squad, out on loan is out of sight & out of mind. The new manager at Parkhead will be bringing in his own players so if Hibs make an effort to get LH, we probably could if the player is receptive to a move.

Scott Brown lacked so much ambition IMO. At the age/point in his career he was when he left us in 2007 I believe he could have made it in England in at least the championship or at a lower table premier league side. Instead he went to Celtic and was happy to stay there. Fair enough hes done ok for himself, captained celtic and Scotland but the real test for players is down south where unlike at Celtic you regularly come up against top players and there is far more competition to challenge.
Now I don't know Scott personally, perhaps his lack of desire to go and try and make it down south in the big leagues was due to family reasons or something. I just think he was very short sighted and lacked ambition, preferring to stay in a sort of 'comfort zone'. Look at Steven Fletcher who played in the same hibs team as Brown, he had the ambition and went down South, making a pretty decent career for himself playing in England with big clubs.
As for him returning to hibs at some point, if he is still good enough then I would absolutely take him back. However, I get what you mean about the whole patronising stuff and the whole kind of "awck well when celtic no longer want me I've always got hibs that'll have me". I wouldn't just take him back for old times sake and because he was ONCE a good player for us, only if he was still able to do a good job for us.

the problem we are up against is celtic will have a new manager in place over the summer, he will surely be wanting all players back for pre season to assess them (loanees included) if we are lucky we may get him back on loan again but i'd love to see him permanently
Bishop Hibee
28-04-2016, 05:49 PM
No chance of keeping him if we stay down. Slim chance of getting him if we go up.
I like him. He's improved a lot over the season and as has been said if he added goals to his game he'd be a great signing. A lot depends on what the new manager at Celtc makes of him but I'd imagine he'll have a look at all the players under contract pre-season,

If Hibs are in the Premier next season, we have a chance, in a McGeouch type deal. Henderson isn't the finished article yet, and won't get enough game time at Celtic to continue his development. They will be clearing out midfielders next season and Henderson will probably be one.
As others have said, he'll probably go south, especially if we stay in the championship.

Liam himself does not know if he'll be at Celtic next season. He is waiting on who is going to announced as the new manager and to find out if he is in his plans. Unlikely he will be moving south as he's just bought and moved into his first flat.

Good investment anyway whilst your first pad is special I guess the life of a football player is such you'll likely move around. Can always rent it. So I don't think it's a huge indicator (not impossible) but sounds like you may have more info

I'm not sure comparing him to Fletcher actually puts either of them in a good light.
Asides from making a load of money, Fletcher has achieved very little in England. Brown on the other hand has won trophies and won more caps. Ok, Fletcher has played against better players week-in week-out, but Brown has played in the Champions League. If Fletcher had been picked up by one of the bigger teams and actually won something the story would be different, but as is I'm not sure if you gave Brown the choice that he'd swap careers with Fletcher...
