Doubt it, won't both need international clearance first?

I think we will announce one or both before that is sorted

Hibs gaffer Neil Lennon wants Anthony Stokes to sign on dotted line and rediscover form at Easter Road.


Neil Lennon has urged Anthony Stokes to take up the Hibernian deal on the table and set about rediscovering his best form.


The Easter Road boss revealed last week he had made the former Celtic striker a "strong offer" to return to Leith.


The Irishman helped Hibs win the Scottish Cup 15 months ago but since then his career has gone into a nose dive.


He signed for Blackburn last summer but has started just four games for Rovers, with his Ewood stint dogged by off-field issues before being released last week.


But his former Parkhead manager, Lennon , believes that with those personal problems now behind him, he can transform Stokes - who turns 29 on Tuesday - back into the feared frontman he was during his Celtic days.


"I'm trying to bring him in because I think he's a good player," said Lennon. "He's won championships, he's won cups and I think his best performances have come when he's played in Scotland whether it be here, Falkirk or Celtic.


"So it's an environment that he's very comfortable in and can prosper in.


"I can't comment on his personal issues but the majority of those issues are resolved and behind him now.


"It's important that he gets back playing football. He's 28-29 now. He has a bit to prove to people but I believe he has qualities that will enhance us.


"If we can get the deal done then great, if we can't we move on.


"But I do think his best years came under me at Celtic so I think that will certainly work in my favour."


Lennon is also keeping a slot in his squad free for another of his former Hoops stars Kris Commons.


The 33-year-old - who is currently recovering from back surgery - says he will only take up the option if he can regain the strength required to make a mark for Hibs.


But Lennon insists the ex-Scotland international is far from finished at the top level.


He said: "Kris is a very proud individual. He knows there's an interest from us - but nothing more than that.


"He has to prove his fitness. He knows himself, it's a back operation - it's going to keep him out for a couple of months but it's not career threatening.


"I still think he has plenty of football in him. When he came here last season he wasn't fit but still scored two goals in five appearances. If he comes through the op okay and can get himself back up to full speed then he will be an asset to any club.


"But it will be Kris' decision whether he signs ultimately."


Meanwhile, Lennon confirmed Deivydas Matulevicius will miss Tuesday night's Betfred Cup clash with Arbroath as Hibs are still waiting on international clearance from the Belgian FA following his move from Royal Mouscron.


However, his Lithuania team-mate Vykintas Slivka is due to complete a season-long loan from Juventus this week.

Good update on proceedings! Wish we could have got Bob in on a permanent deal though rather than a loan. He looks a prospect.

[seanoheimhin]

I know things can be more complicated than they seem from the outside, so maybe there's a fair reason for the hold-up.

But given Lennon's public comments urging Stokes to sign, I can't help but feel he's not really jumping at the chance to come back.

Certainly seems like he'll end up here, just sounds as though he's taken a lot of convincing

[Borderhibbie76]

I agree.... and while some will say it's not like we are unable to to look at alternatives, it is unlikely that Lennon will take on trialists if they are not gonna get signed if Stokes says yes.

Hardly time yet. Has he not just negotiated his release? Surely makes sense to wait a wee bit to allow negotiors to develop. I'm sure those doing the negotiations will realise if its time to move on. Most indications seem to indicate that both parties are interested in the deal happening.

I hope Stokes will see sense in the end. He can't be short of a few bob from money made in his career soo far. We are giving him the platform to play in the Premiership in big matches week in and out. He's 28-29, its his last chance to play at the top of his game. Not only that he will be moving to a club where he is a living and breathing legend. He deserves the keys to easter road as far as I'm concerned along with all others involved in 21/05/2016 - Imagine being the guy who scored 2 and put in a man of the match performance in the cup final to end 114 years of pain. He was a man on a mission that day, he woke up that morning and decided even if 10 others in a green jersey didn't perform he'd do his best to deliver the trophy on his own. Imagine then returning to that very club to play infront of a packed Easter Road to 15,000 fans who worship you, singing your name. He will now no longer find a connection with any other clubs supporters for rest of his life. If he is human he will want to experience returning to play for that club, even if it is for 1 season. Come home Stokesy.

[Bay Area Hibees]

I have no info but wouldn't surprise me if he wants bigger pay day than what we can offer. Nothing wrong with that. He may have felt return at 33 would make more sense.
But may be better offer not on cards. Just hope he's fully up for it and don't tarnish his hero reputation.
For some reason I can't see him ending his career with assuming me joins now.
Regardless hope we get him !

[ancient hibee]

Maybe he wants a big contribution towards his payment to Elvis.

[allezsauzee]

There seems to be an assumption that this is about Stokes dragging his feet rather than Hibs not giving him a realistic offer for a player of his class. He's been on decent money before, he's negotiated a termination of his contract at Blackburn, he's not going to sign for buttons so I hope Hibs aren't hoping that giving him a lowball offer and hoping that if Lennon says how great they are together enough that he'll go for it.

[Big90inOz]

To be honest I have never been convinced this is the correct signing for us, he was great on the cup final day but that same determination wasn't there for many of the other games

This has been dragging on for weeks now, if he wants to sign then it should have happened quickly after his release from Blackburn. Now its dragging on more and the season proper is rapidly approaching, if he isn't committed ( and that seems likely) we need to find someone who is committed and wants to play for our club.

I don't agree with this.

There was no lack of determination or work rate at any point.

He wasn't anywhere near match fit when he arrived, it took him a while to find form and other than the cup final we'd probably all say it didn't work out how we wanted during that loan spell.

But it wasn't for the lack of trying. He was committed all right.

With the right partner, he could be very successful for us.

[Vault Boy]

The thing about signing quality players who will have plenty of options elsewhere is that it takes time. Another thing about signing quality players is that they're worth the wait and whether they're signed on the 1st of July or the 31st of August, they improve the team for the season ahead.

I'm delighted that we're going after players who have tough choices to make about their future because it means they've shown a level of ability that warrants interest from multiple clubs. It's ambitious, exciting and positive - things that are more pertinent than the bit of impatience caused by extended negotiations.

Good things come those who wait.

MATCHMAKER Neil Lennon insists that former Celtic star Anthony Stokes is the perfect match for Hibs

Lennon revealed he is waiting on paperwork from Italy to finalise the capture of Juventus midfielder Vykintas Slivka.

The Lithuania international is set to complete a season-loan deal and Lenny is doing all he can to ensure Stokes joins him.

Republic of Ireland striker Stokes is a Hibees legend after his double in their historic 2016 Scottish Cup win and the Leith outfit have made him a ‘very, very good offer’ as he ponders his future after leaving Blackburn (https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1314500/blackburn-rovers-release-hibs-hero-anthony-stokes-paving-the-way-for-a-return-to-easter-road/).

Lennon said: “We have left it with Anthony. It is his decision.

“We’re certainly not holding a gun to his head at the minute — although I might eventually if he doesn’t hurry up!

“If I was him, I would be coming here.

“He knows he’s a hero after the Scottish Cup Final and he knows the management team and the majority of the players.

“He knows we can get the best out of him.

“At this juncture of his career, I think he needs to play, and play for a club that wants him and for a manager who knows him inside out; someone who can deal with all his little issues, because we’ve all had them!”

Lennon coached and managed Stokes at Celtic (https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/team/14914/celtic/) and is convinced he can help him return to his top form.

Speaking ahead of tonight’s Betfred Cup tie with Arbroath, he added: “If you look at his performance in the Cup final, it shows he’s a big game player and he likes the big games.

“It really floats his boat.

“Coming here there would be plenty of big games to get his teeth in to. Whether he would get that pressurised situation elsewhere, I don’t know.

“He’s happy here. He was pretty happy at Celtic as well. Certainly in Scotland, he’s at his happiest.

“He needs to get back to playing. He’s well out of the Republic of Ireland fold now.

“Possibly he could come again for that but he needs to find the right environment.”

Lennon is also keen to snap up former Celtic and Scotland star Kris Commons once he recovers from a back operation (https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1323881/hibs-neil-lennon-kris-commons/).

He is so excited at the prospect of Slivka, 22, joining international team-mate Deivydas Matulevicius.

He said: “We are waiting for clearance from Juventus now to get the deal completed.

“He wants to come here and tactically he is a very good player.

“He is athletic, two-footed and has an eye for goal.

“He covers the ground very well and looks very composed on the ball.”

Paul Hanlon is unlikely to be risked against Arbroath but could be in line to face Alloa this weekend after recovering from a pelvic injury.

[Baw187]

But it wasn't for the lack of trying. He was committed all right.

With the right partner, he could be very successful for us.

I thought that the last 2 months of the season, Stokes was excellent, and was unfortunate not to score more readily.

His link up play and workrate were 2nd to none. If anything you could see him getting frustrated with Jason as I think Jas wasn't on the same wavelength half the time.

I thought that the last 2 months of the season, Stokes was excellent, and was unfortunate not to score more readily.

His link up play and workrate were 2nd to none. If anything you could see him getting frustrated with Jason as I think Jas wasn't on the same wavelength half the time.

Totally agree.

Stokes was knocking his pan in for us.

The partnership with Jason didn't really work for whatever reason, that's why Stokes' second spell wasn't more successful.

I suppose it was still successful enough though.

I'm concerned that, like last time, Stokes has barely been playing and will need time to get sharp.

Of course he delivered in spades when it mattered most... but still.

Let's hope he signs soon and gets to work.

[Big90inOz]

I don't agree with this.

There was no lack of determination or work rate at any point.

He wasn't anywhere near match fit when he arrived, it took him a while to find form and other than the cup final we'd probably all say it didn't work out how we wanted during that loan spell.

But it wasn't for the lack of trying. He was committed all right.

With the right partner, he could be very successful for us.

The million dollar question is- does he want to be here. it doesn't look like it unless he has no other options. How long do we give him ? Wait until the last week and pull in a stop gap ?

No way, give him a few more days then drop it and take time to look for a good alternative. Forget about stop gaps.

[snooky]

To be fair, we should be looking for quality players all the time. If not, then we deserve all we get if we get caught short from losing one target.

[basehibby]

Come on Stokesy and sign on the dotted line ..... :I'm waiti:cb:agree:

[660]

He’s just timing it so he makes his debut at Ibrox. Calm down it’s all planned.

[Hermit Crab]

He’s just timing it so he makes his debut at Ibrox. Calm down it’s all planned.

Why would he do that? He needs training and games. Tomorrow, and Saturday then a week on Saturday would be ideal preparation for him playing at Ibrox, an unfit Stokes is no good to us against them, we need every advantage we can get.

Maybe he just wants a couple of weeks more holiday instead of training and playing diddy teams.

[lucky]

It's his right to see what's available to him just like it's up to Hibs to withdraw the offer and move onto other targets. There's no doubt Stokes would be a great signing but I'm sure Hibs have alternative options if he decide to try something else. How long Hibs give him is up to Lennon

This has become so tedious, he has been trying to get released from Blackburn for quite a while now which has alerted lots of clubs who might be interested as there Isn't a fee attached. He definately would be a success if he came to the club.

[CapitalGreen]

People who are suggesting we drop our interest and Stokes and work on an alternative:

How quickly do you think we could get this alternative in?
What drop in quality would we be taking to get an alternative done quickly?

[ancient hibee]

Blackburn desperately needed a goalscorer last season but Stokes couldn't get a look in.This will be well noted down south so I imagine clubs will be very wary of offering a lot of money to a player who has been pretty unreliable with off field issues.Perhaps he should sign for us while he has the chance.

[Borderhibbie76]

Lot of unnecessary panicking on this thread...a couple of reliable posters have told us they are confident he is signing...Lennon is discussing him openly in the press (which he never does about transfer targets)...calm doon guys ...its happening

If he gets a partnership going with davey and Simon Murray joins in the act then there will be a few nervous defences in the SPL this season. His performance in the cup final was simply sublime and reminded me of the stokes in his first spell when he at times unstoppable. We had to win the cup as that would have been a travesty given his amazing performance that great day. No pressure when/if he returns.

[mjhibby]

I just wonder if he feels pressure coming back to us thinking we will be expecting the stokes of the cup final.

I don't think he's type of guy that lets pressure get to him.

the 2 best performances I've seen from him have both been in Scottish Cup finals involving Hibs. He'll come in confident of getting goals, and loads of them too I reckon.

He'll of course bring goals but it's everything else that he brings too which makes him a class act - his link up play and footballing brain we're a level up from JC when they were a partnership.

Me neither. At 29 I think he'll go for one last big pay cheque at some crappy bottom of the table championship or league 1 English club. He'll then want to sign for us in his early 30s when he's barely scored a goal since the cup final. Hope i'm wrong though.

Agreed. Ironic though as if we can get Stokesy in and potentially another midfielder/winger too then it will have been a hugely successful window IMO - it all just feels like a complete drag however with the SW/AS sagas :faint:

I'd suggest bringing a player on loan from juventus will represent better value than signing a player unable to hold a starting place at the team that finished bottom.

The Hibs.net police have spoken.....

And there was me thinking its free for anyone to post.


It is, however taking things from here and posting it on Facebook and twitter then claiming its your own itk info is not the way forward. Thats what got peoples backs up.

He wasn't, he was saying it was taken from different sources including social media.

It's certainly got your back up. The guy has quit the page, he's a Hibs fan. Folk bitching about him has got very tiresome.

I have no clue as to the history I was just answering your question in a not to confrontational way.

Always has me in stitches!

This is pretty much as close to being confirmed now judging by a couple posts on social media

The S at the start of the registration plate would indicate it was first registered in Scotland.

If we was playing for Blackburn at the time he bought it wouldn't it have an English plate.

Am I looking too much in to this. Definitely.

SM at the start of the reg means Edinburgh region although I am in Glasgow I bought my new car from Peebles and it is SK which is also Edinburgh region. The 17 is the car year as is mine.

The car was bought this year likely after Febuary when 17 became available.

Columbo now rests.

Two year deal apparently.

I could tell you my source but I'd have to kill you before he kills me.
