Stokesy

[Tinribs]

Its a fans football forum.. A lot of people talk crap , some people make things up , some people know things , some people believe anything they read, some people dont..

Anybody who finds any of the above annoying shouldnt bother with these kinds of forums. I like a good rumour as much as anyone but take anything with a pinch of salt

Totally agree with that. I enjoy all the rumours and gossip, it certainly gives us something to keep up the interest at quiet football times.

[CapitalGreen]

There are a lot of posts on here but I have still found it quite easy to read from the posters I feel have given us info they believe to be accurate.

There is a distinction between info they believe to be accurate and info that is actually accurate.

I have no doubt that said posters believe their info to be accurate, I have doubt that it is actually accurate.

[Ronniekirk]

Judging by Lennon comments at the weekend i don't expect him to sign today
The Board Meeting today will have this high on the agenda

So be interested to hear what Leanne says tonight at the question and answer session

How long before the club turn to him and say it's now or never? If we believe everything that's been said we've been in talks with him for weeks which is surely enough time to make a decision?

[Ryan69]

Maybe Stokes doesn't fancy pre season so if he signs a few days before 1st game of the season, he's had a nice long summer holiday and not had the torture of pre season training.

I heard from someone that when it comes to severance packages,you dont get full amount if you sign at another club within a month.
Anyone know if that would be true?

Would make sense in the delay right enough.

Hibs have no real rhyme or reason to transfer announcements do we?

I keep hoping at midday and around 5/6pm something will be announced.... everyday.... building it up and then letting myself down lol!!

[Hibs90]

I'm just bored now.

I just want us to get Cummings replacement in and sorted so we can hit the ground running on Saturday, obviously this won't be happening now. Hopefully Murray can step up against better quality opposition.

[snooky]

When (& if) the signing news finally breaks, it's going to be like a damp squib after all the baloney.

Pffft!

[SRHibs]

If he doesn't sign before our first game I think we should retract the offer.

[Jim44]

When (& if) the signing news finally breaks, it's going to be like a damp squib after all the baloney.

Thereagain a positive announcement today or tomorrow at a time when our rivals are in utter disarray would be a real double whammy. Even a knock back from Stokes would allow us to seriously explore other possibilities (which I'm sure is in the pipeline anyway).

[SON OF PADDY]

I assume we're looking at other options.

[Keith_M]

I would imagine (and certainly hope) that Hibs are examining alternatives to Stokes while waiting on his answer, have made clear to Stokes that we're doing so and told him that the offer will be off the table when we've signed another Striker.

[BlackSheep]

I think we wil know one way or another by tomorrow as I'm sure at the board meeting later today it will be discussed in length, whether it's to sanction his transfer or talk about the options.

[Smartie]

The longer he leaves it the longer he leaves the door open for Boyle, Murray and Matelivicius to stake their claim.

Boyle and Murray haven't done a bad job at all of staking their claim so far.

Remember Martin McIntosh, the big signing that couldn't dislodge less prestigious players from the team?

Morten Hyldgaard too.

[Stevie Reid]

I would love him to come but I think we'll move onto the next target before the end of this week if he doesn't commit.

[makaveli1875]

people need to chill out . Weve made him an offer , Lennon has said he has other offers to consider worth more finanially than ours .. he hasnt knocked the offer back so he's obviously giving it serious consideration . The transfer window is open for another 4 weeks. Im pretty sure there will be other targets as a back up plan if he doesnt sign

[bill_reed]

Lennon has said that Stokes will not be match fit and could take some time till he up to match fitness.... maybe that why there is a delay as he trying to get to a point where he will pass the medical and also show he still has a level of fitness to be able to train.... Lennon did say he had very little game time in the last two years... so maybe it like the Commons situation and having to prove his fitness before there is any move....

[yonder1875]

Don't get why some are berating Stokes on here and saying we should move on. If he signs for us, it certainly won't be for the money - it'll be the fact he wants to play for this club that he's grown to love and wants to play under Neil Lennon.

Of course he has a difficult decision to make, money elsewhere will have blown us out the water.

No he won't be match fit given the way he seems to have been jumping about for the past 6 -8 weeks or so at least, much as I rate Stokes and think he could do a real job for us, but I think its gone on too long now and if he actually was so bothered about his profession and about playing, he should be out keeping himself in decent shape, but although no evidence to the contrary, I just can't see it with him.
It actually feels like he is taking the proverbial now, sitting waiting as long as he can for the best offer, yes its his entitlement, but we need an answer to let us move on into our real season.
For what its worth, if he has offers from abroad, I don't think he with last long there, he always seems to have too much going on with him and can't hold it together, I think he is definitely a risk .. Whatever way it goes I hope we put a deadline up and stick with it, Thursday this week at the latest for me ...he knows he's wanted here, so a bit of respect ....from him "thanks but no thanks or delighted to committ to us ".

Ps I desperately want him here btw...but he has our offer and 2 weeks or so is long enough to make a decision imo. This week or we move on...im sure lennon will be thinking along these lines also judging by his comments at end of last week

Players don't have to pass medicals to sign, it wouldn't hold up the transfer unless Hibs wanted it to. Match fitness will be lacking, physically he is fine.

[BegbieHSC]

Was it not mooted that if you're without a club under certain conditions for 14 days following on from the termination/expiring of your contract, you get further compensation?

Whitty signed on the 15th of July, and his contract with Norwich formally expired on the 30th June??

Stokesy left Blackburn on the 21st July, so could we expect him to be unveiled on Friday/Saturday? It would certainly add credence to that theory.

[SquashedFrogg]

He might have 4 weeks to decide, but Hibs certainly don't have 4 weeks. What if he said no to Hibs on the last day of the transfer window ?

Then we will throw a massive tantrum and never speak to naughty people ever again :greengrin

Seriously, it won't get to that point. There will be a cut-off point.

The way I look at it, is that the season is over 10 months, so it's important to get the right players in - even if it means people wetting the bed in the meantime.

I'm willing bet we won't be the only club starting the season without having completed their transfer activity. What amazes me is that this scenario happens (not only to us - clubs all across Europe) every season and people still go into a blind panic when it does happen.

It's the same when a player leaves - people still actually go into shock when a good player leaves us.

Relax my friend. Anyway, it'll all be fine. Anyway, I thought you lot were all chilled-out over in the West lower? :na na:

I'd honestly be astounded if there wasn't a deadline in place. I'll trust the manager/club on this. FWIW there's very few players who I'm happy to let take their time like this - the guy who scored 2 in the greatest game of my life is one of them.

Stokes has been spotted doing double sessions in an Edinburgh gym .
So I can't see his fitness being a problem.

Is that how football transfers work? No negotiations? Just yes or no? What if he said yes - but with certain conditions? Would you end the discussion? Not just with Stokes, but with any player?

I feel your frustration but that's not how things work. I'd guess being a free agent further complicates the process. i.e. Strengthens players hand in negotiations.

No doubt Petrie will sort him out though :)

[Ken]

In all seriousness, I think people are forgetting that Stokes was only released from Blackburn about 10 days ago. We may have been in contact with Blackburn prior to that about a loan deal but we wouldn't have spoken to Stokes about terms of a permanent contract.

The fact he's not rejected it makes me delighted that we could potentially sign a player well out of our price range

I for one would be delighted to have him back, but there should be some sort of deadline

[JJP]

Why would we set a deadline? Why not just leave the offer on the table whilst pursuing other targets? He could decide to take up our offer before we have actually signed anyone but it doesn't have to stop us looking for other targets in the meantime.

[BoomtownHibees]

But I was informed on this very thread that it was done and dusted

[mjhibby]

Either he signs or he doesn't and we are in a decent position squad wise and Lennon could well have an eye on someone like Rooney but can't get him unless the dons get a replacement. If we were to get Rooney with a week of the window to go I'm sure we'd all be delighted.

3) Person with account on here took info as fact and posted it hoping it'd make their account look good.

Personally as much as I like a, bit of in the know gossip I only really believe stuff when the club confirm it. That's no slight on those passing on info, it's just they get there info second hand and a lot can happen before deals are officially done and dusted.

4) Information was correct, deal has been agreed but can't be officially signed until a certain time after the Blackburn contract was cancelled, which seems to be roughly what happened with Whitty?

No idea how plausible that is, but it is a possibility.

If anyone can confirm this is correct then it sounds to me like a valid reason for the apparent delay. IIRC I read on here about us not being able to announce Whittaker until a certain date but I don't remember reading the reason for it.

I appreciate their situations are different but if what you say is correct and this aspect is the same as for Whittaker then it would be around 5th Aug at the earliest (Saturday as you say) before we'd get the announcement we are hoping for. That said, Kenny Millar said in the Sun a few days before Blackburn's official announcement that the agreement for Stokes' release had been reached so I guess it could have been signed a day or two before Blackburn officially confirmed it.

I guess more patience required (which will be difficult) and fingers kept crossed.

Anyone who doesn't understand that things happen and circumstances can change in the blink of an eye probably needs to get out more.

There are some folk on here whose information I read and think yeah that could happen, but until the contact is signed so could anything else.

Those folk are far less annoying to me when things don't pan out than the hundreds of posts bleating about the deal not happening and miss-calling those that posted what they heard in good faith.

I honestly don't know why those folk that are genuinely ITK to some extent or another keep posting, the grief they get for doing so is pathetic.

Having said that I am grateful that they do.

I used to love the close season rumour mongering about who may or may not be coming, but there are so many folk getting all precious about it and Hibs signing policy that its now an absolute torture of a read.

Challenge it at the time then.

These 'some people said' sarcastic posts are getting tiresome imo.

[Thecat23]

Na its the ones that pretend to know some inside info that they clearly don't. Or copy it from a source but deny it was taken from there when it is proved to be wrong.

There is actually many on here who either know players, staff or agents. We pass on what we get told nothing more and deals come off others don't. Until I'm told Stokes isn't coming then I'm happy to wait and I still think he'll sign.

I don't mind taking any stick though, if I post but then it doesn't happen folk will have a pop. If it does no doubt we'll be called lucky or we guessed it 😂 Either way if folk are getting that worked up about folk posting snippets I suggest they ignore this and other transfer threads.

Listen mate, if folk hear snippets from agents, players, whoever, and decide to post it on here that's all fair and well and great that they choose to do that. But when an "ITK" poster posts that it's a "done deal" and a "2 year contract" 5 minutes after a fake tweet appears, to then deny that's where they got their info from, that's bollocks.

If anybody is ITK then fair play, but don't pretend to be something you're not (not aimed at you btw)

[Diclonius]

This meta-transfer chat about who's ITK/who's not ITK is utterly tiresome, and has been since the whole sorry charade happened circa-2014. Is your life that worse if a transfer rumour turns out to be wrong, or god forbid, the parties involved change their mind?

People can choose not to share ANY of the information they receive - no one is entitled to it. He'll sign if and when he signs. Get over it.

Not Stokes related but I heard 2nd hand from a current Hibs player that Luke Berry was as good as a done deal before it fell through, so these things happen

I've heard a few folk say the same bud, I myself knew nothing of the deal or that we were even interested. Although I've heard 3 different stories why he didn't sign so I've no idea what one was true or if any are. Sounds like we have a few targets still in mind regarding our forward line. I still think we'll sign Stokes and one more striker. Maybe a backup striker in case we get hit with Injuries.

Your track record is pretty good in my opinion. Keep it up.:wink:

[FitbaFolkKen]

These transfer threads are a nightmare, if Hibs could either sign folk up swiftly or drop their interest even more quickly then that would save us a lot of pain and misery on here.

I can see our deadline day highlights reel now - Swanson "I just pretended to be a Jambo" in, Cummings gone, Marciano in, Berry's Signed, Whittakers signed, Info Leaked scuppers Berry, Cummings only went for a fiver, Stokes signed, Efe Awol, Whittakers no signed, Wheres Hendo?, Stokes no signed, 5pm tomorrow, Lennons off to Preston, Davey is huge!, Whittaker has signed, Stokes signed, Bob from Juve, Maybe Stokes isnae signing.... I'm sure I've forgotten some drama and the chronology may be off.

Been a pretty busy summer but I reckon it'll be alright whether we get Stokes or not, let's just settle down and smash Partick at the weekend!

This is why I said other day I was really confident of this happening.

Happy to pm or send screenshots to anyone of my chat with my mate. For what it's worth my mate sits beside me and is a big hibs fan.

Exactly what he sent to players mate and what I posted as well so he's clearly telling people he's coming but seems he's maybe hoping for more cash as I thought it would be done by now.

Isn't this a an inappropriate speculative remark? Cue a red top, or any internet bampot :greengrin coming out with "Stokes holds Hibs to Ransom". He may well be, and probably is, capable of getting more money. But the reality is perhaps that Hibs have made an offer that is the best we can do, and that Stokes is well aware that it won't be increased.

Not criticism of you, just an example of where a throw-away line in a conversation can lead to an unintended consequence.

[Greenworld]

Yup I agree best offer has been made decision can't be that difficult. Let's remember he has hardly played lately so will take a while to get up to speed also.much as I like him I'm wondering if we should move for our next option.

The league kicks off this Saturday and its time to get serious about getting players in. Surely Hibs cant continue to wait and wait for Stokes to make his mind up ... while we do we cant spend the money we have to set aside to pay what will be one of our biggest, if not the biggest, wage.

If we wait until too near the end of the window we could end up with a wage pot of three grand a week that might have attracted a more than decent striker we cant spend because all the decent guys we might have had a chance of getting have already found clubs .... in view of that if AS hasn't given his answer by the end of this week in my opinion we should move on.

I have to agree on this.... As much as I want to see Stokes sign, this saga seems to have dragged on forever... last summer, January and now this summer.... I don't doubt his desire to play for Hibs but If we keep moving the goalposts for him then he wont settle on an answer, whether its yes or no.

I know that any knowledge of this deal is purely speculative and that Lennon has stated we have offered him a strong deal, but not once has it been said we have offered him the maximum we can afford and there has been talk of improving the deal each week.... Hibs need to decide what their final offer is and send it to him with a take or leave it message.

Edit... While I am aware of the ITK posts in regard to this transfer saying that the deal has been agreed in principal, I am inclined to air my views with what public knowledge i have on the subject until we see or hear definitive proof of AS signing

Putting aside all the eagerness and desire to get this over the line, it would appear that Stokes is in no great hurry to make a decision. With Lennon's input re. great deal offered, might be room for some improvement etc., Stokes is in a win win situation and might very well wait till the end of the window before accepting or declining. I assume he is, meanwhile, training seriously in private or with another club.

Didn't LD say last night she still thought Hibs would sign Stokes?

Some of these anti-pun types will be a bit gutted that the nonsense is continuing.

The thought of Gala blaring out the tannoy at ER after Stokes scoring makes me moist. This would be one of best signings I can remember us making. NL would get the best out of him. Please let it happen 🔥🔥

Do you wait for so many posts to go by then re-post this

Not a lot happening by the sound of things, and the other thread is contributing nothing of note.
By all accounts the club seem quite relaxed and they are expressing an air of confidence that a deal can be done. Another day is almost gone and there is no sign of anything developing.

He's being a slippery eel over the negotiations just now but surely he'll stop all this carp and a deal will be announced when the fish man comes on Friday
