I find it hard to believe that the deal is off as such. Only the Daily Record have covered this with the sun just copying what they have stated. Sky Sports were the ones to publish the transfer in the first place and they haven't mentioned anything about the deal possibly being dead over personal terms. I'd wait for information from more reliable sources before jumping to the belief of the Daily Ranger
Well the Clubs appear to have agreed on a fee
So i dont see anything odd about the player coming to Edinburgh to talk personal terms,have a look around the City,find accommodation,etc
Not something that can be done by phone
There's also a possibility he just doesn't want to come to hibs

It's unthinkable that we could get to the point where offer has been accepted, the player travels to Edinburgh and no one at any time has discussed wages, you couldn't make it up!
I think any agent (or player) will have a rough idea of what our wage structure is like and with the best will in the world they also know that as a Cambridge first team player you aren't going to come in on the highest wage at the club when you have international players signed up.
If it is dead then its a bit of gamesmanship on the agent part to generate a higher wage elsewhere.

If he's been living in Cambridge he won't be surprised by high property prices.

Probably the simplest and closest to reality scenario if the reports are correct. The boy maybe just didnt fancy it in the end , moving to Edinburgh from Cambridge is a fair distance. He maybe just doesnt fancy leaving english football for the scottish premiership. At the end of the day , he would be stupid not to come up and talk with us, but its better he doesnt sign for both parties if he is not certain he wants to be at Hibs.
At the end of the day , good luck to the laddie and his career. Now lets focus on signing somebody of a similar ilk who wants to play for the club

I think we all need to look at the bigger picture here. For the first time in over a decade and one of only a handful of times in my memory that we are in a position to wait and add real quality when the time is right. There is no major overhaul required and we will be in a good position with 3 more strong signings , although i think we will be closer to 5 more new signimgs come deadline day. Think as a support we have become used to making a rake of signings season after season , and look how that usually pans out.

Was thinking the exact same a moment ago. If 2-3 media sources were reporting it, like BBC, Sky Sports, EEN, STV, then fair enough it is probably the truth. Or do the daily record have close sources to Hibs?

Agents. Doing their jobs and trying to get the best deal for their clients and using every tactic possible. Hibs agree fee, speak to agent. Agent makes it known that client is for sale via press. Other clubs agree fee, agent speaks to other clubs knowing what Hibs have offered. Other club pays more than we are willing to. Player signs for other club. Nothing for us to get worked up about, we won't break the bank so we will miss out on players but that's just how it goes

Thats about the size of it. Anything else is a smokescreen. If he doesnt want to sign and see himself elsewhere we move on. No need for the wailing. He and his agent will have had an idea of the sort of terms they were going to be offered when they came up here if he moves to another club for more cash we just need to deal with it.
A couple on here doing some mudslinging and BS. There is no way in hell this deal is dead because of anything a fans FB page has said and also stating that Lennon is also furious with them too is complete nonsense, to me is looks like a vendetta against that fans news page, something more personal.
Once the bid is accepted, Berry and his agent will know what Hibs wage offer would be, it'll be lower than what we're prepared to pay but as normal you have to haggle a we bit. The player will come up with his agent to look around, get a feel of the history and training facilities and if he's happy will sit down to negotiate his deal, like add ons and basic etc.
There will always be rumours and paper talk, it's part and parcel of football with the media the way it is nowadays and there's no way it would scupper any deal, I haven't seen anything untowards on the web and I don't think anyone on here has either, if this deal is in trouble it'll be because Berry is getting greedy and wants more than we want to pay, he is from League 2 remember.

The story first came out on Sky Sports who reported the 250k fee. This was then picked up and reported by everyone else. I've not seen anything on any social media or on here from hibs fans that's been different from that Sky Sports story. If the issue is because it's been leaked to and reported by Sky then this boy and Cambridge will never get any transfers done.

I don't do twitter so I didn't see that.
I was reading between the lines, the only social media group to post anything was the Fansnews FB page, I assumed he was having a go at that. It's still strange that this Tam guy has posted something which at face value is having a right go at someone, then he's vanished and is just sitting there watching this all unfold, proper trolling this is.

If it's true (and I seriously doubt it) that he has taken the huff at either the transfer fee, his current wage or his wage demands being speculated on by randoms on social media, then he isn't right for Hibs anyway. He'd not cope living in Edinburgh with people grassing him up every time he went out for a pint. Maybe best he stays in League 2 obscurity if he's that sensitive.

Hull City player Josh Tymone has it revealed on twitter that he was leaving by........his Barber shop!!!

But if the deal for Berry has fallen apart due to social media, then it's a bit pathetic imo.
If the papers/sky or radio had revealed the same details, whatever they were, would the deal have "collapsed"? I somehow doubt it.
Im not 100% certain it's collapsed, only the DR has reported it.

For those that don't use Twitter, 'liking' a tweet doesn't necessarily literally mean 'I like this'. People often use likes purely as bookmarks.

I think Tracey is quite close with the fans news guys (she used to be an admin on there iirc), surely she wouldn't have liked a post that was having a go it Andy for no reason? Could it have been aimed at someone else? I saw she posted something on Facebook last night about social media being destructive too....could just be coincidence but a fairly big one! It's a really strange situation!!
I did see what Tam had posted and it's definitely not about Fans news, all that's been posted on fans news is what's been in and around the media.

Yep, he's done what he set out to do, cause mayhem and at the same time put any blame on Andy Gillies and his Fansnews page.
I've clearly missed something here lol
I saw the tweet but as we replied the Fans News group no longer posts "Exclusives" or rumours that are not already out there on twitter, Facebook and forums. That's a decision we made as a group. We now simply relay the gossip out there. So our conscience is clear lol
There's always someone who has an issue with myself, it's a sad life when I'm your thought of the day lol

I maybe jumped to a conclusion Andy but as I don't have SKY, your page was where I say any details of this transfer, him being at East Mains etc bur nothing more than the usual rumours etc. It was also on here but seeing as your is a FB page I assumed he as having a go at you, I also don't do twitter either, I used to have it but got fed up reading crap on my timeline all day long. :greengrin

LOL. No worries. The story reported by us initially was the sky sports story. If memory serves the post about him at East Mains in the Sunday was from Kenny Millar's tweet and a Sun sport story.
Fans News is a completely different group to two years ago, with 11k members we try to be a tad more responsible lol

Its nonsense. The HibsNews Twitter page just posts stuff already in the media as a source of info for Hibs fans. They ask questions about players and give their opinion too. I, like many, asked the guy what it was they actually posted to derail this signing and shock horror he didn't reply. Make it that what you will.

Whether the initial comments were aimed at him or otherwise is irrelevant, they were taken that way by some and to drop that bombshell then just disappear with no follow up or clairification whilst another person gets serious grief is cowardly and downright nasty.
Whatever people think of Fans News the guys give up their own time to provide a service for Hibs fans that they can choose to use or othereise. Andy didn't deserve the accusations thrown at him in the last few days and the people responsible should be ashamed.

Really don't see why anybody gets remotely excited about someone posting Hibs football rumours on a facebook page , twitter or a fans forum. It's a free country, it's not illegal, in fact it isn't a big deal in any shape or form.
If anybody has infornation that they wouldn't like leaking out to these sort of places as it would damage their source or inhibit what the club is doing then simply, just keep your mouth shut.

If it's been to that extent then I can see where he's coming from. However, if these people are convinced he's to blame and can't see any other reasoning then they'll be like that whether he's part of fans news or not. So he should've stayed and stuck to his guns.
One things for sure. Sky were first people with the story, AG didn't tell Sky Sports.

I'm not sure people realise the abuse that can come with running groups/forums and so on.

I couldn't agree more!! He's been getting personal abuse for months, especially from guys on one of the other Facebook pages who just don't like him, it's not right at all. I'm sure loads of people have sighed when they've seen the latest fans news "breaking rumour" but I've hardly ever seen them post anything that hasn't already been out there in some form. They certainly haven't posted anything we didn't know about the Berry deal but yet I've seen a lot of people naming Andy personally as the reason the deal broke down. Like him or not he takes time out of his daily life to run a fans page and they do a lot of video content etc for fans too, personal abuse and naming him to make him a target of abuse, even if he had done something wrong, is pretty much bullying & out of order imo.

Back on topic, here's hoping Luke Berry signs up at Easter Road and joins a club with record season ticket numbers, Scottish Cup feelgood factor, a winner of a boss, and an exciting goal-laden midfield around him (plus the strongest defence since Sauzee/Laursen/Smith/Fenwick days behind him)
That's what I want to talk about!

The internet is a cesspit which makes Ibrox look like a wee garden pond. The majority of users are just plain ordinary folks, but practically every lowlife on the planet has free and anonymous access if they have even a smidgen of nous. Stirring up trouble is second nature to them.

It's a bummer when that happens - true story this - my wife once sent me a text which was meant to read "on my way home - do you want me to bring you in a hot choc" - instead it read "...hot chic..." - guess what I didn't get !
That happened to me once. Meant to send "Just leaving the pub. Be home in 10." to the wife. Autocorrect changed it to " I hate you, you bitch. You ruined my life."

A disgrace that folk like Andy & Pretty Boy have had to get online abuse from folk with no sense of proportion.
These folk have nae class never mind Hibs class.
For what it's worth I thought a lot of the comments on the Craig Thomson thread were small minded and knee jerk sad.
Pretty Boy was one of a few folk on that thread swimming against the tide and trying to speak sense. I respect him for this as well as his role as an admin on here.
We should all strive to be better folk. Hate and anger just makes the poster look small minded and is tedious.
Stick up for guys like Andy and Pretty Boy who do what they do for the love of Hibs and their fellow fans.

It's ridiculous that someone like Andy gets abuse to the point he packs it in, simply for trying to provide a service to other Hibs fans who are interested in reading rumours (ones already in the public domain).
Folk need to get a grip and I agree that it's one of the sad things about the internet and social media, that it gives walkers a platform to be pricks with anonymity.

A wee update from the club would not go amiss even if it was negative, folk don't mind transfers going wrong as long as they feel they are being informed as much as they can be. After all the bottom line is we the fans are the providers of the cash for the manager to spend, anyone would think that Rod was coughing up out of his own wallet-fat chance !

Possibly one of the more sensible posts on this thread for a wee while. Mind you, I think the club might be reluctant to comment on a negative situation but I suppose they may be inclined to avoid over-optimism as well. - hence the silence, I suppose.

It would point towards his move to us being off though. We apparently agreed the fee at the weekend and he's now back with his team having come up for a look around on Sunday.

It points towards nothing. Nobody really has a clue what is going on. He could be back training while loose ends of the deal are tied up. He needs to train with someone and can't do it with us while he's contracted to Cambridge Utd.
