No idea how much is in the kitty after the Cumming's sale but I'd like to think there would be more than enough to meet the Celtic valuation, if that report is true and accurate.

Hopefully we're already closing in on it and this is just Celtic trying to squeeze a little bit more out of the deal. Time to come home Liam.

16 assists?

And I think £300K is unlikely.

[DavidDavidGray]

If he's only 300K then we should 100% do it. He was a first team regular at Hibs and was loved by the fans, he loves the club and we will almost definitely profit from it In the future.

[007]

I am trying to resist a compulsion to send a tweet to Leeann pleading with her to do this deal. If it doesn't happen tomorrow, it probably never will.

Tonight I'll be dreaming of Hendo of taking corners with Stokesy on the end of them.

[Hibee Mac]

So far this season we are crying out for someone who can take a set piece, I'd sign hendo for that reason alone never mind the assists and attacking link up play he innevitably brings.

The scottish cup simply would not have happened without this young man, bring him home.

[BegbieHSC]

I'm very much resigned to the fact that this isna happening!

For those who do not wish to visit The Sun's website:-


"HIBS are working on a deadline day swoop for fan favourite Liam Henderson.
The 21-year-old is available after reluctantly admitting that his first-team chances at Celtic are going to be limited this year, despite impressing when called upon by Brendan Rodgers.
Henderson put himself in Hibs’ history books by setting up two goals in the Scottish Cup Final against Rangers
SunSport understands Preston North End couldn’t agree terms with the Hoops over a permanent deal, but at this stage Rodgers is open to the idea of a loan.
He rates Henderson highly but simply has no room for him at the moment given the wealth of options the Bhoys boast in that area of the pitch and he’s keen to see him enjoy regular action.
Henderson is a hero to the Hibs support after his part in their 2016 Scottish Cup triumph and he returned to Easter Road in the summer to take in Lewis Stevenson’s testimonial.
Hibs asked about Henderson earlier in the summer to no avail, but talks have resumed off that could yet see Easter Road supporters land the name they crave more than any other."

He's also an astute man and Henderson, even on loan to Hibs and in the shop window, would generate a good fee for Celtic down the line Billy.

I've no doubt LH felt he was on the move down south and for whatever reason it fell through - maybe to do with % sell on, who knows. But it's awful to see such a talent get no football. We wonder why we fail qualifying for things :rolleyes: as a footballer you don't get this time back, he's 'lost' a season already by not playing last year - sad to see.

I've no idea. Id like to think that he'd rather be playing every week but he maybe feels he can break into their first team. Nothing wrong with him having that ambition.

So.. another half a season kicking his heels in the stands. The laddie will be forgotten about soon if he's not careful. Obviously not by us, but other teams. He should try to get himself an emergency loan to a team like United or something to give him some game time.

As an aside, does anyone else have their doubts as to whether Celtic are actually playing hard ball to the extent that people say they are? I reckon both sides are at fault here but it doesn't ever sound to me like Hendo is particularly arsed about getting out of there which is strange considering how passionate a player he was for us.

Rumour I heard was that Hibs were not happy with what they saw as an excessive 'sell on' condition.

[Unseen work]

Despite Liam having a lot of quality I wasn't as keen on him returning as a priority as others as I don't think we needed him as we have an ample amount of players that can play a similar role to him.

Obviously if it was the right deal I would have been delighted.

its a shame that it will be a year and a half since his good season with us and since then he will have barely kicked a ball.

Having our best young Scottish players rotting away is no use for anyone.

Celtic seem to have a habit of doing this and then stalling there careers.

It depends on how "excessive" exactly but I'd be a bit miffed if this was the case.

Why shouldn't Celtic demand a hefty sell on % whilst selling him for what is by their standards a low fee? They've developed him, put in most of the work. If a very talented young player ends up going for a lot of money, why shouldn't they get a significant share?

He's a football player, and the most important thing should be his value and importance to us in football terms.

This would suggest that we see players as commodities, to be bought cheap and sold for higher fees with the football of secondary importance.

Surely, as a business, this is how we have to work to improve ourselves. We buy young, Scottish talent in cheap, with a view to improving their footballing skills, therefore improve our team, before selling on for a profit.

To sell someone for a higher fee means they have turned into very good footballers.

Hendos situation at Celtic is incredibly sad. They are ruining the boy.

How come ? He must be happy with his situation or else he would be pushing for a move.

The ball isn't in his court when it comes to a move though, see the failed Preston bid for example. Fair enough last year he wanted to fight for his place but I feel sorry for him now.

[hibbycraig]

Maybe Liam is happy with his situation at Celtic. Earning a good wage, training with top class players and coaches everyday. I would say he wasn't really a top priority signing for us this summer.

[Brooster]

Preston North End had 3 bids turned down. Liam was set to come to Hibs on loan but Celtic insisted he sign a contract extention before doing so which Liam refused to sign. As someone has already said.....Celtic are ruining Liam Henderson.

Hopefully this means there's a good chance of us doing a pre-contract in January.

[Betty Boop]

Maybe he'll go on emergency loan to a Championship club ?

[WhileTheChief..]

What's with the blame culture on here all the time?

Just cause we don't get what we want doesn't mean that someone is to blame.

Celtic seem to do pretty well by their players. I've not heard of any complaints from Henderson at all and he's not handed in a transfer request or we would have heard about it.

It's like a bunch of bairns on here stamping their feet and chucking toys.

If thats the case then i would expect Celtic to hold out for a Development fee next summer by offering him a renewed contract knowing he won't want to sign it which means there will be more unreasonable demands from Celtic and possible tribunal before Henderson can be away from them.....what an absolute shower of ****s

Listening to Sportsound last night and Commons was telling what happened with his Celtic move from Derby, he said he was negotiating a new deal and got text from the chairman to go see him only to be told he'd been sold to Celtic. He knew they were interested but had no say in the matter as he was in his final 6 months, players don't always have it their own way.

It's not American sports where players are traded.

Regardless if Derby and Celtic had agreed a fee, he could have sat tight for 6 months.

He didn't have to go, was well within his rights to refuse.

100% agree. Celtic are perfectly entitled to wait for the right offer just the same as we are with John McGinn.

Difference being one is getting a game and one isn't. Henderson is not able to increase his own personal value without being able to showcase his talents.

Oh the irony :greengrin

[Roxyhibee]

Liam has been a 'victim' of circumstance and slight naivety from people handling his future.

He signed a three year deal two years ago (I think), without an actual football agent. I've no idea what the agreed salary was but his future at Parkhead looked very bright, as it was Deila then and he liked him. Farmed out to a high level playing standard in Norway and back to join the beginnings of a new talented Hibs team. So far so good.

But Rodgers comes along and quite rightly sees Celtics future playing in the latter stages of the CL which seemed too big a leap for Hendo, as bigger names came in meaning he can hardly get on the bench just now.

He is heading for limbo again this season it would seem - but he does have an agent now and more importantly, a strong, healthy positive attitude and a great family. He and those around him will have learned a lot from this past year.

He's still very young and once he gets game time somewhere again, likely in January, he'll be an excellent player for someone.

Would love him him back at Easter Road - and I'm sure he would too. May still happen.

[WhileTheChief..]

[Nicho87]

I feel sorry for Henderson. But he only has himself and agent to blame. He signed a deal after he left us and was clear he wasn't going to be a first team player. Wish him well, our paths may cross again. But for now let's move on

Not that's not true - signed long before, so we don't want to make stuff up about the boy, especially a Hibs hero.

But agree, we have to move on.

[J-C]

I understand that, but the club had decided before telling him or his agent, he did say he was in the process of negotiating a new deal, which is why it was a shock they sold him.

[DH1875]

If Hendo was playing for Hibs, how much would folks value him at? If we value SJM at between £3-£5million and Hendo at between £300k and £500k are we saying that SJM is 10 times the player that Hendo is :confused: of course he's not and that's why Celtic can ask for as much as they like for him.
Put it this way, if Hendo was a Hibs player and Celtic came in for him for £300k, there'd be an outrage on here.

If he was not getting a game and only rarely making our bench, I don't think we would give a toss, tbh.

[ancient hibee]

Since Rogers came to Celtic a number of players like Griffiths and Armstrong have knuckled down and done what was needed to be permanent members of the match day squad.Henderson,despite going back to them after a huge personal achievement here,has failed to do that.So much so that Celtic are willing to pay millions to bring in one player at the same stage as Henderson.I wonder where the fault lies.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

He is at the start of his career not the end. If he has a season kicking his heels and then leaves for nothing then he will be more affordable to clubs if they don't need to dig deep for a fee.

How exactly? He signed his new deal under Deila (it was announced the same day he came on loan to us) who thought very highly of him. Not his fault he's fallen out of favour under a new manager!

You're wasting your time - the blame boys are not paying any attention to the facts about Liam signing before he came to Hibs and under Deila.

A Scottish Cup super hero as well. Shame on them...

Do we really want a player that's hardly played any football in a year and a half though?

Saying that, we re-signed Stokes...

If he goes on emergency loan somewhere, that would scupper that. Wouldn't put it past Lawell.

In short yes. 3 or 4 years ago we would have had him straight into team under current regime he would be bit part until fitness is back.

We have an excellent squad that can now accommodate a player we can play when required not as a necessity.

[Jim44]

It's a shame that some folk are taking a pop at Henderson for not engineering a route out of Parkhead. He probably genuinely believed he could play a part in their plans and was encouraged by Rogers with favourable public comments and the odd serious kick of a football. Circumstances have gone against him and his only mistake as far as I can see is that he has been really short-sighted, not seeing the wood for the trees. Poor advice probably hasn't helped either.

Everything he says is correct, the only down side in coming to us is that old word "money"!

When he was playing for us Celtic were topping up his wages, don't know if our wage structure could take paying him.

Its down to whether he want to spectate or be involved on the park, he will more than likely get game time when Celtic are playing in Europe every week, and may get a place for rested players.

Just seems a waste of good talent, but that has been the story of the Uglies for years!!!!

[Phil MaGlass]

IMO I wouldnt leave a club if, lets say, I am on 4k per week to earn 2k per week. As much as I would love to, even for more game time. My career finishes in a few years and need to have enough saved for a rainy day. He could however request to play for us in Jan on loan?

He will definitely get some game time during this season at Parkhead but it will be few and far between, unless of course Celtic embark on an unlikely spate of defeats and have a plague of injuries to their favoured midfield players. Barring a complete reversal in circumstances, he has no future with Celtic, and a loan deal or a club willing to satisfy their valuation (diminishing), must be his only escape route. He's too good a player, skilful, conscientious and with great potential, to go to seed, as happens with some players in his position. The unknown quantity is when and with whom.

While I understand the need to earn money, will Liam once he hangs up his boots be incapable of working at something else when that day arrives?

[IGRIGI]

Also he would have to factor in the chance of earning 8-10k a week if he came down to 2k at Hibs for a few years and built his reputation up to attract interest from down south.

[Stoney Hibee]

When you look at the number of shockingly taken corners over the last two games, you wonder what a difference he could have made with his delivery?

[offshorehibby]

Liam's priority over the next 2/3 years is playing football week in week out and not earning loads of money sitting in a stand.

Exactly plenty of avenues for ex pro's to still earn a good/great living.coaching/management,work as an agent or punditry.you only need to watch sky sports ex players making a fortune to blether pish.

If you take in what you say, he would be better staying as long as possible at Celtic!

If you look at the pundits around just now, most have had a career with the Uglies, the exception being Michael Stewart!!!

The other point is at the moment if he is not playing for Celtic, so no way he would be on the punditry radar!!
