Not even on the bench for a second string Celtic last night. Come on home Son. The thought of him in the strip of any other Scottish club makes me sick.

He's had so little exposure in the last year that his appeal and attraction to other teams must have really dwindled. The rumour that it was Celtic's high valuation of him that put clubs off trying to sign him might not be far off the mark but surely now they can't demand a big fee for him ( there would be a development fee I think). It's anyone's guess as to where he will end up and I can't help feeling he's made one or two bad decisions along the way. Lennon said that the 'Hibs have concluded business in this window' statement did not come from him and, with a wee twinkle in his eye, suggested that if the opportunity to get someone else in arose he might be tempted. You never know.

Tin hat on here but where would he fit into that team? Why break the bank signing a player who has hardly played first team football and has no guarantee of starting every week.

I'm a massive Henderson fan but we don't need him.

You never know.It will be another striker if/when Graham goes imo...i don't think we have room in the squad for Hendo sadly with the additions of Swanson and Slivka...happily be proven wrong tho

I see this argument a lot but to me it's very short term thinking.

We undoubtedly have a strong midfield at the moment but throw an injury to McGeough and a suspension for Bartley (neither requiring a massive stretch of the imagination) into the equation and it starts to look light. We haven't really added to the midfield from last year, only replaced (or improved upon) those who left.

Further we have to accept that John McGinn isn't likely to be at Hibs beyond next summer, if he continues his current form and given his contract situation then he is going to be hot property next year and Hibs will have to start to think about dealing. If a deal can be done to bring in a player who has quality in abundance to give us another option now and start to bed him in as a long term replacement for McGinn as part of the process then it's a no brainer imo.

I thought Liam was a quality player when playing for us, Bartley out injured already but we have Slivka we have to give him a bit of time to adjust. I really do have a high regard for Liam and think he would be a great addition to the squad. Whatever happens I wish him all the best for his future carreer.

Development fee will cover them. Celtic aren't acting in the best interests of Henderson which is a shame. He will end up down South for £300k or so. He wants to come back.

If Graham leaves Hibs I'd rather we signed another forward if we sign anyone. It's a shame Henderson moving to ER hasn't worked out. Hope he gets first team football somewhere soon.

I'd love to see him at Hibs again but I don't think it'll happen, mainly because Celtic want too much and he'd want first team football which might not be a guarantee at Hibs at the moment.

Mind you, could see him and Swanson interchanging and if Mcgeouch were to pick up another injury we could start looking a little light in the midfield.

If he's available and within our budget then it's a no brainier - get him signed!

As another poster said McGinn won't be around forever and with McGeough'injury record I don't think it's too much of a stretch to suggest the won't play every game this season.

Earlier in the summer when we looked light up front Henderson wasn't a priority but now the squad looks really strong all round I think take the chance to sign anyone that improves us, especially players at his age.

Isn't Liam in the last year of his contract?

I can see him coming here next summer (especially if SJM goes) but not sure if Celtc will make it viable for us to sign him in this window.

Shame because the guy's career is stalling right now.

He'll still cost us a few bob as we'll have to pay a development fee, all Celtic have to do is offer him the same wage as he's on and the fee kicks in if he signs elsewhere, best to do a deal now on a smaller fee with add ons.

09-08-2017, 08:34 AM
We already have McGinn , McGeough , Slivka and Swanson who are similar players to Henderson. I know Swanson has been played as a left sided midfielder but he is not a typical winger as such as he likes to cut inside and is similar to Henderson in that way.

If we are going to be spending a few hundred thousand on a transfer fee and significant amount on wages I think another striker or a left sided out and out winger should be the priority. Saying that , if Hendo does come back I wont be too upset as I think he has the potential to be a very good player.

I know we have said our transfer dealing are done for the summer but that could change depending on the League Cup draw tomorrow. If we draw Sevco or Celtic away we are looking at 50% of a circa 50k crowd plus TV money. That will be a good few hundred thousand that was not budgeted for.

Leaving aside the fact that it would be brilliant to have Liam back in a Hibs shirt I do wonder if he is being well advised regarding his career. I do not get the impression that he is the kind of guy where at this stage the money matters more than the pleasure of playing and more to the point playing first team football.

There has to come a time where he recognises that he is not in Celtic's plans, if he was surely, barring injury, he would have played last night or at least been on the bench. This is a kid with the potential to be an absolutely top notch player at Scottish premiership level or better and it would be a crying shame if his career was to continue to stall at Parkhead ...... He refuses to go out on loan again so the question has to be in what way is he going to even stay at the level he achieved at Easter Road playing development games and 5 a side training matches at Celtic?

Even if it isn't to Hibs FFS get out of there ya wee legend :aok:

“It’s weird, this relationship between Hibs and me,” he says. The loanee has returned to his parent club but still hankers after what he had at Easter Road. “It’s like I’ve split up with my girlfriend but am still in love with her.” - liam henderson

That is the kind of person we need and if/when McGinn goes next season then maybe we should be ready to make an offer sooner rather than later?

Saying that I trust Lennon to do what is needed.

G B Young
09-08-2017, 03:27 PM
As somebody has suggested, it might be we eventually see him return if McGinn departs but at present it's become hard to see where he would fit in, especially as I think it's all but certain Commons will be joining us at some point.

Forever a hero for what he helped us achieve and hopefully he'll play for us again one day.

Personally, I'd prefer to see Henderson over Commons but agree that it is questionable if we need him.

It also appears Cellic have an awful inflated value on a player they don't pay and don't pay that well considering the value.

England makes sense for Liam - Forest is a good shout and I expect Ipswich have had a look also.

I feel like the Cup Final has clouded judgement on how good a footballer Hendo is. Now, there is no doubting he has ability and a bright future, however he was not always first choice for us and IMO fairly inconsistent during his time here. He always gave 100% and is a club legend but he struggles to get a game for Celtic 2nd string which must tell people something.

Would be a good addition but I don't think he gets in our team at the moment with a few ahead of him.

There's been a few players who have ditched supporting their childhood team because of bad experiences with the club at playing level. e.g. Strachan/Hibs (sort of), Broony/Rangers, Cumdog/Hearts, Cormack/Hearts to name a few. I'm sure netters could add more.

I wonder if Hendo will still be "a Celtc man through and through" given the way they don't want him and now allegedly are making his transfer difficult.

Don't think you need the tin hat mate ...... Its a fact that Hendo wasn't always a first pick at ER including the cup final. But what we all saw when he was here was a player with a second to none attitude and almost certainly the capacity and ability to become an even better player over a period of time.

That's why so many Hibs fans would like to see him leave Celtic even if it isn't to come to us ... it would be tragic to see a lad with his attributes stagnate up at Lennoxtown instead of pushing for a first team place at a decent club where his potential could be realised.

Two things that are public domain, but worth retelling:

First is his twitter pic for all last year (while he was a Celtic player) was him up Arthur Seat with Easter Road in the background

If I remember, he was given a five year deal at the same time he came to us.
He will have to take a hit financially to come to us but it will be the best thing he could do. Come home.
I have always thought this story has deadline day all over it but I can see the bread man taking him down the road with Cummings and McKay though.

Don't think you need the tin hat mate ...... Its a fact that Hendo wasn't always a first pick at ER including the cup final. But what we all saw when he was here was a player with a second to none attitude and almost certainly the capacity and ability to become an even better player over a period of time.

That's why so many Hibs fans would like to see him leave Celtic even if it isn't to come to us ... it would be tragic to see a lad with his attributes stagnate up at Lennoxtown instead of pushing for a first team place at a decent club where his potential could be realised.


:agree:


I think we'll have enough games/suspensions/injuries that he'd get plenty game time here, would give another alternative to mcgeouch and Swanson (albeit a different kind of player).

Still want another forward and pacy wide player too though :greengrin

Unfortunately not many players will walk away from a good salary, even to play for their boyhood heroes.

Time will tell if he becomes surplus to requirements at Parkhead, but would think with a five year deal it will be costly to get him in?

When he was on loan at us a Henderson was on a ridiculously low wage at Celtic, it was common knowledge within the squad. That came from a first team player at Hibs.

Armstrong was on £10k p/w with them until he signed that new deal last week, given Rodgers really rates him and was determined to keep him he'll be on a big rise since now too more than likely.

As for Henderson, Celtic have wage tiers, remember reading about this about 18 months ago, guys breaking into the first team are on between £1-2k and theit next contract (unless their rise is spectacular) would take them into the £6-8k bracket - Henderson I'm pretty certain signed a new deal with them the day he signed on loan for us, he was highly rated by the club at the time and had just camr back from a stint in Norway with Rosenborg too, there is no way, zero chance he is on less than £6k - wishful thinking to believe otherwise

I'd doubt he'll be on as much as that, however there's a few folk on here who claim to be ITK and say he's on £1k which is quite simply not true.

I've nae idea what he's actually paid but I'd no be all that surprised if it was around £1k a week. It'll be closer to £1k than £8k, I'm confident of that.

I dinnae see why going away on loan and winning the league with Rosenberg would automatically get him a big contract? Did he get even more when he was on loan at Hibs and won the Scottish?

He signed his new contract at 19 yrs old after playing 13 games for Rosenburg on loan, he made 36 sporadic appearances for Celtic prior to that and his season with us gave him his best season as a pro, he'll be on around £1-1.5K PW, the contract he signed would be as a youngster and not a full squad member.

A similar player to Henderson at Hibs would be Stanton or Handling and they'll be on around £700 pw.

Neither a doubter or a believer on this, just interested to know how others seem to be pretty sure how much individual players earn, especially when there are a couple of people who seem so sure but give very different info?

Whether he is on £1k or £8k a week is really irrelevant, it will be down to how desperate the lad is to either play first team football and hopefully progress his career, or sit tight and just take his wages for the next three years and possibly fade away in to the background as another nobody in the game. (I am of course assuming he is not going to make the first team breakthrough with celtc on a regular basis, as it looks at present)

I have no idea what Liam is on but when he signed his new contract he had only started 8 games for Celtic. To date he's still started more games for us than for Rosenborg/Celtic combined so I think it's indeed fair to say 2015/16 was his #1 season.

Henderson is still a perfect fit for us. If a loan move down South has broken down then it would benefit everyone for Celtic to sell to us and regardless of inflated wages I believe he would come. He could be a big star up here and get a move with a sell on fee to Celtic or perhaps get swallowed up down South and they will get nothing.

As far as people in the know have heard Celtic want too much for a player who gets on the bench once in a while and not in their plans, he has a year left and I don't understand why they're being so difficult to deal with, I'd thought a lower fee with a sell on % would be a decent deal for Celtic.

If Henderson sees out his contract till summer, but signing a pre contract with another club in January, would Celtic still get compensation? If they don't really want him, they would be taking a bit of a risk offering a similar contract as he might call their bluff and accept it. They should cut their losses and let him go with maybe a nominal development fee.

Won't believe a word of it, until I see him in the jersey.

Brooster is normally bang on and he was 100% convinced Hendo was away down south a few weeks ago. It's giving me (most likely false) hope that we might be back in for him.

Last I heard was....Hibs had a bid of £350k turned down well over a month ago. Norwich had a bid of more than double that turned down soon afterwards. He was close to signing for another English Championship club about 3 weeks ago but I dont know if that has fallen through. Liam doesnt want to go on loan and Celtic may have to drop their evaluation the closer it gets to the end of the transfer window.

That is a serious amount of money we offered, where are we getting all this dosh?

I love Henderson, i love the way he plays and the way he gets the club. He's another player who plays with his head up, and looks for a forward pass.

Fingers crossed we can come to some agreement for him, and that he wants to come home. :pray:

Would be a massive statement of intent if we spend c£400k on a player. He only has one year left on deal so not sure the sums are fair but would love him back.

We had a decent squad in championship and eventually won fairly comfortably but we do need a stronger squad for this league and to be in top 4. We are almost there but Hendo would be icing on cake.

Just checked the PM board - we offered £150k and a packet of ready salted but Lawwell is holding out for Worcester sauce.

Other way round. I realise that Commons would be coming in as a coach/player, but it'll be some time before he's fit enough to play and does he even have one year left?

Henderson would be ready to play immediately and will be here for several seasons, unless he plays so well that he earns us a decent transfer fee.

So it's Henderson for me every time. Fortunately we don't need to make a choice - if we get Henderson then we don't need Commons, and if we don't then Commons will be a free agent so can be brought in after the window closes.

To be fair, he has never claimed to be 'in the know' and just repeats gossip from various chums and acquaintances.

Yes and spent a year with little game time since. Im of opinion Hibs a bad move for him. He needs games as a first pick. Mcginn Dylan start if fit and leaves few chances cm. Happy to take him back. Good player but imo he needs a club where hes first pick week in week out. Wish him well

I'm not disagreeing with fellow hi bees for sake however my take on Hendo was he was constantly a driving force for us and I'd have him back in a heartbeat and when fully fit and in form playing consistently for us. His energy, skill and enthusiasm was a joy to watch for us and could easily be so again.

Correct. Liam would create healthy competition for starting places and would be good succession planning for McGinn's departure in the not too distant future.

The stats were posted on the PM board by Capital Green.
Hendo started 40 of 48 games for us in 15/16 having joined after 3 games were played.
Was also injured in Nov/Dec.
No gaurantee for 17/18 obviously but I'd forgotten how many games he had started too.

The short corners were fine at the start but to persist when they had it sussed was bordering on madness.

That probably highlights the difficulties he'd face at Hibs right now.
Swanson had a cracking season last year for St Johnstone while Henderson got very little pitch time.

At the moment I'd say he's behind Slivka, McGinn, McGeough and Swanson for sure.
Whittaker is likely to play as a right midfielder at points and I'd like to see Fraser Murray continue to get gametime.
We also have the potential to play 2 wingers in Boyle and Barker and we have a cracking DM in Bartley.

While he's not the same position as some of those players they're all still part of the same maths of 3, 4 or 5 midfield slots and 9 players already competing for them. Not getting a game because of formation rather than having players ahead of you is probably slightly preferable but it's still not getting a game.

I'd like Henderson - not least as there as bids likely to come in for McGinn - but at the moment I'm not sure he's going to want to come to Hibs without being fairly certain of making the starting XI.
