I'd be surprised but delighted at this. Seems strange Celtc wouldn't ask for any kind of fee as i'm sure they'd be able to get one for Henderson.

HSL tweeted something along the lines of 'can we a secure another signing' who would you like it to be....?

Obviously it may just be about enticing new donators but possibly a hint towards a player coming in that we'd all like to see.

Logically that makes no sense. He clearly has a value and if they were looking to shift him they would alert an agent or 2 and they'd bring in a few hundred k for him.

On top of that, why do it today? Do it minutes before the end of the window when they've exhausted all other options.

His contract is to Summer 2018

I dont normally spread ruours as you can see however I ahve not said he is signing for hibs. Celtic have agreed for whatever reason to py up his contract. maybe he has a taste of first team football? Maybe he needs a new challenge?

But i know he will attend at some point today..............................whether he will join us who knows....or when he joins.

There are only 6 days to go of the window, Celtic probably trying to get everything done on time. Rogers wants the squad reduced as its massive which has an affect on training etc. Christie left yesterday.
Not saying he's coming but the timing is perfectly reasonable if they want to make sure that everything is completed for Feb 1st.

There's so much speculation at this time of year but thanks to the OP for posting this anyway.

Liam Henderson is actually the player I'd like to see at ER on a permanent deal more than any other possibility at the moment.

Watching the cup final DVD - in our matches leading up to Hampden I was struck by how many of our goals involved Liam directly in the build-up.

I think it's important we plan for the future. We may lose McGinn in the summer and Fyvie is out of contract. We'd all like to keep both of them but, realistically, losing at least one is likely. Getting Henderson in would be a brilliant addition to the squad but would also be planning ahead.

Fingers crossed.

the may 2017 I also queried however i was told thats what is on offer.. whether he signed until 2018 or not.
he has been told last week that his chances would be limited ..very limited with the squad that would be built during the summer.

Like any club.....why hold onto a player that might make 5 appearances in a season?

He might be work £200k ...but who pays money for players who are not playing

I would love to see Henderson back, he has family members who are Hibees and he gets us, his passion was 2nd to none, especially as a loan player. With McGeouch being continually injured, we do need someone like Henderson to give you that drive from midfield, remember we have a few players out of contract in the summer, plus speculation re McGinn.

That makes no sense in the slightest.

In the summer it was reported they wanted £400k, 4 months later, and 7 or 8 appearances they are suddenly willing to pay off 5 months of his contract, keeping in mind hes contracted until 2018 and let him leave for nothing?

Wont believe any rumours regarding Hendo until hes hes got a scarf above his head at the stadium on the official media pages.

I take what you're saying on board. However, he's a young player who hasn't had the opportunity to play as many 1st team games as McGinn or Fyvie. I think there's enough there to suggest he has masses of potential to improve given the chance for regular football.

He plays a different role in the team too when compared with McGinn and Fyvie so I'm not saying he could "replace" either of them. I'm just suggesting that if we were to lose "quality" from midfield I think adding Liam Henderson would be adding quality at an early stage and that's important.

Im not saying it is true, but it does make sense. They may have wanted 400k, but they didnt get it. In the meantime their squad has grown and rodgers will have a better idea about what he wants.

They might be foregoing a transfer fee, but they would be saving a years salary. If hes on 3k a week at celtic, that means they would be saving 160k ish

He isn't getting a look in for the first team and apparently Celtic are looking to splash out £8m on Bojan putting him even further down the pecking order.

If he wants to leave to get first team football he has maybe struck a deal with Celtic to say release him now and he will waive his right to be paid the final year of his contract rather than sitting in the stands for the next 18 months or going out on loan and Celtic continuing to pay him wages when he isn't in their long term plans.

Very talented and technical player who can create either from open play or dead ball. Would be a great asset to the team given his age. Not a box o box player more an attacking midfielder or number 10 role. Great attitude also.

Unlike Hibs, Celtic can afford to do things like this, we have Stanton, Harris and Handling on contracts we cannot afford to pay off, so they either go on loan or sit in the stands while it runs down. Henderson has a lot going for him and loved his time here, he did more for the team last season than the 3 mentioned did.

That was the first question I asked myself as soon as I saw this thread. This is a very positive exciting signing if it happens. He was a key player last season with his skill, industry and willingness with an enthusiasm that was evident. Hope it happens without losing any of our key players.

Its not outwith the bounds of possibility, but like most I'll believe it when I see it.

What I would say is that if Celtic are looking for 200K it would be worth paying, his first game back would probably add 2,000 to the crowd and we would get some of the cash back at a stroke :greengrin

I refuse to think of Liam as a replacement for McGinn or Fyvie or a consolation prize for Cummings leaving ..... what I imagine is the three of them back together rekindling the bonds that were clearly evident amongst the players at the end of last season and of which he seemed to be a major part. The team spirit is still obviously very strong, but I think Hendo's return would ramp it up to 11 as they say.

To any clubs watching .... The lad has a bit of potential and with a lot of work by backroom staff it may be possible that he will make a decent squad player at bottom 6 premiership level, we want him because he likes the club, but it would be a huge risk for anybody else to give him a chance.

Liam said he didn't want a loan in the summer and his preferred move was a permanent one to Hibs, where he'd struck up a great rapport with the fans. Celtic have maybe tried to convince him to go elsewhere and Liam dug his heels in that Hibs were the only club he was interested in, also it may be the case Liam has told them he'll run down his contract to get his preferred move.

I've said before that McGinn will be wanted by Celtic, he's a fan and has family connections, so maybe keep us and Liam sweet and have 1st option on McGinn.

Yep I agree with all that but as he wasn't always a first choice last season It would be unfair if we have an unrealistic expectation of his levelI think h would be an excellent signing particularly on a four year contract,a loan would be a waste of time.

25-01-2017, 12:17 PM
Giving away an option on McGinn is unlikely to be in our gift. St. Mirren still have a financial interest in him as well. If McGinn goes it will not be linked to any other deal.
I've not seen anything to suggest Celtic actually want him and I'm not sure where he would fit into their team anyway.

Yeh, its true that Liam wasn't always a starter last season, but as with this season the team does appear to change depending on who we are playing and I think he was a victim of that quite a lot ........ when you watch the guy play his potential to become a regular starter is clear enough, he has the potential to become a future Hibs captain.

But clearly things have changed since Rodgers arrived. He wants a competitive squad and is willing to let good players go if they dont exactly fit in with his system or are too far down the pecking order. He is trying to build a squad that can compete in Champions League.

So it seems reasonable to me that some very good players will be released or sent on loan and getting them off the wage bill makes as much sense to Celtic as trying and failing to sell them.

I don't think anyone is saying we're giving away McGinn as an option, or if he fits etc, we're just trying to work out why Celtic would just release Henderson all of a sudden. For me I can see McGinn as the perfect replacement for Brown in that Celtic team but Brown has found a new lease of life under Rodgers.

I'd heard, from a friend of a board member, that Henderson was our number one target going into the transfer window.

The price was 400k but Hibs were hopeful of negotiating a better deal. Paying a fee was a possibility as we rate Hendo highly.

If we get him for nothing then that almost seems too good to be true! Here's hoping though!

Giving him to us makes a lot more sense when you look at it that way. They could cut their nose off to spite their face and end up paying a player to sit in the stands or they could give him to use, with a hefty percentage from us on any future transfer which will go back to them.
It really is win win win.
Not only will he benefit and Celtic too (financially), they will also send a clear message to their youth/reserves that if they play well and play their guts out, even on loan, then they will either end up playing for Celtic OR the club won't stand in their way to move on and make the most of their careers. That's got to be a good thing for both Celtic and their youth teams.

I'd love this to happen as I'm sure most people would, but how he could be valued at £400k seems strange to me. You're only worth what other teams are willing to pay, and nobody would pay that. No Scottish clubs have that sort of money and I'd be very surprised if many English clubs were queuing up to buy an out of favour fairly young Scottish midfielder. Some sort of % of sell on fee would seem most likely to me whether he comes to us or goes elsewhere.

To be fair to Celtc, if they think they can get a fee for him then they are perfectly entitled to go for that.
Personally, I like the sell-on % deal that's been suggested on here.
That would appear to be the best deal for all concerned.

I'd love this to happen as I'm sure most people would, but how he could be valued at £400k seems strange to me. You're only worth what other teams are willing to pay, and nobody would pay that. No Scottish clubs have that sort of money and I'd be very surprised if many English clubs were queuing up to buy an out of favour fairly young Scottish midfielder. Some sort of % of sell on fee would seem most likely to me whether he comes to us or goes elsewhere.

I think Celtic must have hoped that an English side or two would have come in for him. However this doesn't appear to have happened and now they are looking at us as the only option.

I just don't get the free transfer with Celtic paying his contract until May.

For example, surely if Celtic came to us and said we could have him for 50k then we would bite their hand off!?

If we do get him for nothing then there would have to be a substantial clause involved. Possibly a large % of future sale, maybe a buy back clause, or perhaps first refusal on McGinn. Obviously I don't have any idea what it would be but I imagine that there would have to be something.

Makes total sense.

No way this will be linked to McGinn or any other weird theories thrown up on here.

Celtic need to get rid of plenty players and he wants to come to us. Will be great to have him back.

But we would be willing to pay for him. Maybe not 400 thousand but certainly something.

Why give him away on a free? Why pay his contract until May? It's not like he'll be on huge money.

I hope I'm wrong but I just don't get how it makes sense without some weird clause thrown in.

When your talking about transfer fees there is lot of other things that go with it including agents fees etc and the player has a cut of any transfer fee received built into their contract usually so by the time you have done all that its much much less that the club will be left with.

They have asked for £400k which would be a good deal for Celtic but there aren't clubs lining up to pay that for hendo and he has his heart set on a move to us, we can't pay £400k but could offer maybe £200k max?

So they could sell him for £200k and end up with £100k in hard cash after everyone takes their cut for organising the transfer or they could release him from his contract without paying the final year and look upon it as around £125k saved in wages.

Yeah but that amount of money is peanuts to Celtic, it's like a months wages for Scott Sinclair, so they are probably just cutting their losses and savings themselves a lot of paperwork by releasing him rather then selling him.

Also maybe doing the decent thing for Hendos career if they have no intention of playing him

25-01-2017, 02:10 PM
He may very well have told Celtic he's wanting to come play for us, whether that be for nothing now, or for nothing in the summer, so pointless trying to get a fee for him? Better they just cut his contract short and save his wages.

Edit: Just realised he's contracted to 2018 so that's probably not what's happened :greengrin

Celtic need to get rid of plenty players and he wants to come to us. Will be great to have him back.

If there is any substance in the rumour and we would all like it to be true then there must be a make weight involved somewhere along the line.

Henderson has an affinity to Hibs and vice versa but he is also a professional footballer who wants to make his way in the game and so to think that a) Celtic could not get a price for him now from lots of clubs and that b) he only wants to play for Hibs is nonsense (remember he was happy to play in Norway(?) for a while on loan). On top of that the purse strings at Celtic are well controlled and they are not just going to give an asset away for nothing.

If he was to come to us for free there must be something else being used to make it a more attractive proposition for Celtic - that does not mean definitively McGinn or that if it was McGinn that we would be compelled to sell him but if Celtic met a price that we are willing to sell at then they would have first refusal (potentially).

25-01-2017, 02:31 PM
Here's an option why Celtic would let him go. He comes to Hibs he developed like Mc Ginn is doing and when we sell him on Celtic gets X amount of the sell on clause.

I was told this option by a former Celtic supporting work mate. Not sure if rumour is true, but I'd like Liam to come to Hibs as his desire to get the team motivated last season was evident. Also he can deliveeereer too.

If what has been suggested that Celtic have offered to let him go at the same time, paying up his contract till May 17. Then why would Celtic be entitled to anything from whatever club Hendo opts to sign for, no fee, no % sell on clause and certainly no underhand way to get McGinn.

There's so much speculation at this time of year but thanks to the OP for posting this anyway.

Liam Henderson is actually the player I'd like to see at ER on a permanent deal more than any other possibility at the moment.

Watching the cup final DVD - in our matches leading up to Hampden I was struck by how many of our goals involved Liam directly in the build-up.





I think it's important we plan for the future. We may lose McGinn in the summer and Fyvie is out of contract. We'd all like to keep both of them but, realistically, losing at least one is likely. Getting Henderson in would be a brilliant addition to the squad but would also be planning ahead.

Fingers crossed.



Was thinking exactly the same thing watching those games. Hendo played a key role.

Petrie might have the reputation of being a bit of a tight-arse but I don't believe Dempster would have sanctioned Commons going back to Celtic for a couple of weeks, and all the risks involved, for the sake of £4K. Commons has not yet returned for other reasons which hopefully can be resolved.

The hendo situation is a strange one. He needs to go out on loan somewhere as he is only being used to give players a rest and with no Europe he will hardly kick a ball in the second half of the season. Neil Lennon has persistently said commons is his no 1 target and should we get him we would be in a great position squad wise for the business end of the season. I'm sure we have asked regards hendo but would only try to get him if commons went elsewhere. Celtic don't need the money so I suspect it's more them seeming to be in control of the situation unless Rodgers genuinely is thinking of bringing him into their squad which is showing no signs of doing. The tie at the pbs puts us in a better position financially but as Lennon has said the transfers wont probably happen till either Monday or Tuesday. Can't see both commons and hendo coming as only one will play with the midfield being our strongest area. I'd be delighted with one more addition to the squad and better luck with injuries ongoing.

Playing first team football is the main thing I'd expect.

Anyway, I'm not too fussed about him for the second half of this year but would certainly want to see him at the club thereafter to develop for the next few years.

Your seriously underestimating fyvie there. I wouldn't swap him for any of those two. He is a different type of player but absolutely crucial to us and our success.

:top marks Hibs are a poorer side when FF is out. Much of his work is unspectacular but allows others to do their thing. Would be one of the first names on the team sheet for me.

I have to agree with you. He does things for the team which often go unnoticed but are still important. Henderson and Mallan are different types of midfielder from Fyvie, it was silly of me to make a comparison. In the long run though, they are 2 players I would definitely want to sign in the future, permanently.

Commons loan for rest of season then go get Henderson on a 3 year deal in the summer.

I agree, Henderson is still a young lad learning his trade and if people stopped wearing green specs, they'd see he wasn't a regular starter last season, Yes he has a great attitude, drive and commitment but he isn't what we need right now, Commons on the other hand is a match winner which he's shown twice already this season.

I've seen a few people say that he wasn't a regular starter but that's just not true. Henderson made 48 appearances for us last season and 40 of them were starts. The only players to start more games than him last year were Gray, Stevenson, McGinn and Cummings.

Much as I admire KC and hope he comes, He is quite clearly past his best. Liam might not have started every game last season but he did play in 48 games. His 2 crosses to deliver a Scottish Cup are the stuff of legend and trump Kris's 2 goals hands down...and seriously, when have we not needed a player with a great attitude, drive and commitment...not to mention a good amount of skill? His contributions in his brief appearance today highlighted his potential. Commons is a luxury player in the position we are in now. Partly down to his 2 goals...but that's all they were, 2 goals. We need players for next season, and Liam Henderson would be a great place to start. I want my cake, and to eat it, but if we were only to get one of them...Liam for me

Agreed. When we go even further ahead of the rest it would pay dividends to begin gradually easing one or two of the more promising development players into the first team but only when it's become patently clear the leagues ours. It would be the ideal opportunity.

47 appearances, 26 league starts and 5 as sub and if IRC he had a good run of games when Dylan and Fyvie were injured round about Jan/Feb time, he was a final sub when our strongest midfield were all fit. I like Liam and loved his passion as a loan players, he really got the club due to his family members being Hibs fans but we have to remember he's a Celtic player and fan and only signed a new extended contract with them before he came here.

He'll not have a bad thing to say about us and I feel he still harbours hopes of making it at his boyhood club, you can't knock him for that, we have a good midfield here right now, with the emergence of young Martin adding to the depth, so Liam is not a player I'd worry about not getting.

Keatings hasn't chipped in with a good few goals though. He's scored 3 goals and two of them were against Bonnyrigg. I know he had a spell out injured but he must still have started a good 10 games or so and came off the bench in quite a few more and that goal return isn't enough.

We can probably muddle by for the rest of the season with what we have, but when we go up a striker needs to be a priority imo. And it needs to be better quality than we signed this season.

We can probably muddle by for the rest of the season with what we have, but when we go up a striker needs to be a priority imo. And it needs to be better quality than we signed this season.



Keatings has scored 3 league goals in 7 starts (5 subs) and the 2 goals in the cup game, Boyle has 5 league goals in 10 starts (11 subs).

Keats has been unlucky with injuries again (just as he was coming onto a game) and Boyle is as we know hot and cold and maybe a better impact player.

I agree we''l need another proven striker when we go up, maybe even 2 if Cummings goes.

We are seriously trying with hendo, and will continue to even if we can't get him before the deadline! Can also say we failed in a bid to sign a left winger from Bristol city on loan

Henderson doesn't want to come to us or go anywhere else on a loan deal. His successful sub. appearance today will have strengthened his resolve to see out the season at Parkhead. He's as good as, if not better than, quite a few of their midfielders.

47 appearances, 26 league starts and 5 as sub and if IRC he had a good run of games when Dylan and Fyvie were injured round about Jan/Feb time, he was a final sub when our strongest midfield were all fit. I like Liam and loved his passion as a loan players, he really got the club due to his family members being Hibs fans but we have to remember he's a Celtic player and fan and only signed a new extended contract with them before he came here.

He'll not have a bad thing to say about us and I feel he still harbours hopes of making it at his boyhood club, you can't knock him for that, we have a good midfield here right now, with the emergence of young Martin adding to the depth, so Liam is not a player I'd worry about not getting.

Like SJM he's young and only going to get better though.

I'd love to have him back.
