Sky Sports and Kris Boyd saying Forest have had a bid rejected for McGinn, anyone heard anything about this? I don't see him leaving this window unless Henderson comes in and even then I don't think he'll leave.

Sounds like they got JC for a steal. Hope the same doesn't happen with J McGinn. Anything less than 3m would be hugely disappointing IMO.

Mentioned it on the match day thread.

Has to be enough for Henderson and 1 other big signing.

Wonder if it'll impact on contract talks with Lennon.

That's not what he said.

They've made a bid, we rejected it. Boyd expects them to come back with another bid and he said its likely it'll be McGinn's last game for Hibs.

How much Kris Boyd knows about Hibs transfer dealings I don't really know.

Stating the obvious but how much we got for Cummings and what we ultimately get for SJM (and the % that St Mirren get) is pure guesswork. Two years left on his contract so no need to sell. If he doesn't sign an extension, then we should be preparing to sell and replace next summer. GGTTH

I don't think you got my meaning. I am not sure the 'last game for Hibs' part is accurate and that an acceptable bid is 'expected' because if it is, or in other words, he is leaving, I doubt Hibs or the player would want to risk it.

Of course we should play him rather than protect him on the off chance that an acceptable bid is tendered.

Was about to say something similar - the majority of these 'pundits' are mainly OF, either played for them or just support them. The last thing any of them really want is a challenge/threat from outside of the OF. Like the GFA, they want the Status quo to stay the same forever and good/promising non-OF players represent a threat to their never-ending gravy-train !!

Or on the other hand selling Cummings has worked out just fine and so would selling McGinn if the cash was right.

He's not a long term Hibs player and his value is high just now. Slivka already a good replacement and the money could allow us to get in one or two other players for the long term.

He can be brilliant on his day but I've seen too many average performances from him to think he's as good as most on here do.

We've got a strong squad and can easily cope without him.

He was replaced by Stokes who did score today.

I think fans know players have to be sold at some stage. We've had a good window so far and so we are doing our bit to replace players. Slivka looks like a ready made replacement already and we would be left with money to do even more.

That's insulting from Forest. That manager of theirs had been bragging about how he's getting played really cheap here and he's trying it again.

If he played for Celtic we'd be talking £5million to start

Yes I know that, but Hibs have lost James Keatings, Grant Holt, and Brian Graham, as well as Cummings.

I know full well that players will be sold by Hibs, who are no different from any other club in that regard. Even the Barcelonas and Manchester Uniteds of this world sell players. That's because it's the players who really call the shots now.

From what I've seen of Slyvka, he looks a good player. Whether he will prove to be as good as McGinn remains to be seen. I feel selling McGinn now would weaken the squad.

So if £750k is 'laughable' we can surely assume Hibs are looking for at least £2m? With 30% of that going to St Mirren it's not enough in my view for a hugely talented young player with two years left on his contract. Hibs should hold tight and we'll get a better deal in the summer. McGinn's an intelligent lad and I'd be surprised if he wasn't prepared to wait a few months.

I think Lennon is the sort of guy to say "he's going absolutely nowhere" if he is.

He suggested he was expecting further offers and mentioned that mcginn has a price and that it will be a club decision etc etc. All of that points to Mcginn being off in my opinion. Will be very surprised if he stays now.

So if £750k is 'laughable' we can surely assume Hibs are looking for at least £2m? With 30% of that going to St Mirren it's not enough in my view for a hugely talented young player with two years left on his contract. Hibs should hold tight and we'll get a better deal in the summer. McGinn's an intelligent lad and I'd be surprised if he wasn't prepared to wait a few months.

Where do you get the figure of £2m from Hibs rejecting £750k?

Why do folk think a young guy who can't even get a place on the Celtic bench is in any way an acceptable replacement for our best midfielder (and a full international)?

I didn't say it was acceptable but it might happen. John Mcginn is himself "a young guy" whose career blossomed as a Hibs player and Henderson might turn out the same.

Henderson is only a year younger than McGinn.

Who knows where McGinn would feature with Celtic?

Anyway, Slivka is probably the one who would really take the McGinn role and he is a more established international.

Henderson would be a useful addition too though.

We'd also have money to invest further.

My tuppence worth....I also think he'll go v soon with an improved offer. Hibs clearly have a valuation in mind and won't waver on that. I think McGinn is an outstanding talent and we'll be a weaker side whenever he goes - big boots to fill but we are also a forward thinking club so expect a decent replacement.

I agree, I have total faith in Dempster here. The last time we were in a similar position we lost Scott Allan who had a year left on his contract, replaced him with Henderson on loan for that year plus we got John McGinn and Dylan McGeouch. What a piece of business that was. I have faith that IF Forest stump up big money for him that we will see quality coming in as well.

I'm just guessing that would be the sort of sum that Hibs might take more seriously. However, having dug out Lennon's quotes from earlier in the summer where he said McGinn wouldn't go for anything less than £4-5 million I hope I'm well off the mark:

One thing's for sure, if we're sticking to that sort of price then there's no chance Forest will be getting him.

What they have conveniently missed out of those quotes was when Lennon said that the offer was nowhere near the club's valuation of McGinn, and when asked about it again he said the offer was 'laughable'. It doesn't sound to me like he'll be going anywhere unless Forest more than double their first bid, which clubs rarely do. They are more likely to up it to a million and get told to GTF again.

**** off Hibs don't sell at this stage!!

My feelings exactly!

Don't sell our best players after everyone has bought their season tickets, thinking that we have a good settled team.

Time to think about making a change to the transfer window so fans are not short changed when they buy their season tickets and then the good players are ripped away from the Club!

I know money talks, but to sell in the last week of the window does not allow time to find an adequate replacement and bring him in!!!!

Lancs Harp
27-08-2017, 03:09 PM
I think Lennon was just being totally honest. Hibs have apparently rejected an offer that was nowhere near the value of the player in our opinion, thats what he said and lets be realistic every player does have a price. If anyone meets thats valuation then Hibs have a decision to make and thats just what Lennon said.

Its always disappointing to us as fans to lose our better players but we all know thats how the game is, not just for us but for virtually every club in the world. How did St Mirren feel when we took him from them? If he moves to Forest and does well there then bigger fish then Forest will be after him and there wont be alot that Forest can do about it. Buying and selling of players is a significant part of the game. One door closes another door opens, when SJM does move on and lets face it, he will, then the key for us is to use the money we get for him wisely and ultimately make the team and squad better., view it as an opportunity if you like and try to llk for a positive out of the situation as difficult as that may seem when one of your better players moves on. Team building never ever stops.

MyJo
27-08-2017, 03:09 PM
Would be dissapointing to lose McGinn this transfer window but every player has his price.

I don't think we will see him leave for anything less than £2.5m and any offers like forests will be suitably laughed at and binned immediately by LD as we don't need, or particularly want, to sell him right now.

If he does go then so be it, hopefully we will have enough time to bring in a couple of more players to bolster the squad before the end of the window (Henderson & Moult :dunno:) and if he doesn't then great, he can get his head down and focus on having a good season in the premiership with us before considering his options next summer.

The other problem in a late bid, is it could be unsettling for the player.

The £2-3 million price tag comes with a far bigger wage than we are paying him, and that can be unsettling!

We need all our players totally focussed on us not looking elsewhere, just look at the other side of the city to see what can happen when derogatory offers are handed in and the players reaction whether meant or not is seen to be not trying.

If it was £1m...the only way we could agree would be with an 80% sell on clause. Warburton can GTF!!!

Exactly ..ollie burke to west brom for 50 million ..ffs

£15m I thought...but that is still a £5m profit for TV Leipzig.

Nope, 50 (fifty). When he went from Forest to Leipzig he became the most expensive Scottish player of all time and they paid 30million. The record was smashed by him again when west Brom paid 50million. A quick Google search will confirm.

It was 12 then 15, lol.

You managed a quote before I got in though. The boy on the radio the other day must've said 13 and 15. My old ears picked up 30 and 50.
I stand corrected. The thing is that given the ridiculous amounts being thrown around in England it didn't surprise me that much.

He said it in the BBC radio interview.

OK ta. I think Forest got excited when they got McKay for about 10% of what Sevco were laughably expecting/hoping for him. He made a great start,though he was shocking yesterday, so I believe they're thinking why not try again. The difference is Pedro had told McKay he had no future & Sevco were desperate for cash. Neither is true with SJM.

Becoming a bit of a myth this one. Henderson started the vast majority of matches when he was with us.

Heroes reduced to sound-bytes as a stick to beat them with - sadly predicatable.
If this was a "journalist" we'd call them "lazy".

To to be heard in the near future:

"never kicked a ball since" or "still living off/dining out that day in May".

In this case I do "hope I'm wrong"

I just heard the quoted amount of the amount £750k, that is an absolute disgrace, and was quite rightly thrown out.

But with McGinn away with Scotland this week, other players will be talking to him about the difference between Scotland and England, and that could be potentially unsettling, and Strachan could in interview say the reason McGinn not playing is the transfer rumours, and then it is even more pressure on him!!!!

Accepting the first bid from a Championship club managed by an ex The Rangers fan!

I guarantee we got bumped!

Seems like it was a maximum of £1 million...which is nowhere near good enough.

Whatever we got for Cummings its was significantly more than the £0 we would have got when he moved on this summer anyway without having signed a new contract with us last year.

Cummings signing that contract with its rumoured release clause was the only reason we got anywhere near £1m or whatever the actual figure was for him. Without it we would have been left with nothing if we kept him to help us get promoted or sold him for peanuts in one of the last two transfer windows and jeapordised our chances of winning the championship.

Despite what you might think the club did extremely well to get what they did out of the Cummings deal.

There is no way whatsoever that Notts Forrest etc would have bid that if SJM was playing in any other country. This is and never should be about the Scottish league it should be about the players actual ability, potential and IMO the league that they are wanted in.

If there are other current international players at his age moving between clubs in that league for less than £1m then ok.

He wasn't even first choice with us in The Championship. I think too many folk's opinions are based solely on the last 15 minutes of the Cup Final (a game he didn't even start in). Don't get me wrong, I'd like to see him at Hibs, but not as a replacement for SJM.

As somebody has already pointed out, this is a total myth. He made 32 appearances for us in the Championship - 27 starting. I got along to approx half of our home games that season and in most he was excellent, and often a standout.

I have been watching Hibs for long enough to know that our best players tend to leave us at some point. I'm sure SJM will go and maybe even in the next few days but the fee is key for us. If second rate clubs like Forrest who are propped up by the false economy of Sky money come calling then Hibs should be holding out for North of 3 million and up to 5 in my opinion. I watched Forrest yesterday and they were crap. He wouldn't be going to a club challenging down there to get into premiership. The only thing he would get out of a move to them would be more money. I think he is better than a mid table championship club and is certainly better than 750k. Oh aye, and Warburtons a fanny

They are doing the same as we would do - it's just business. As long as Hibs stick to their guns we will get a decent price. Rod Petrie has always driven hard bargains so we should do just fine if McGinn goes.

I don't have a problem with it Billy. When we signed SJM, the Saints fans were understandably upset that we had paid what seemed a small fee for an emerging talent. IIRC their Chairman was questioned on the fee at their AGM & that was when he disclosed the 30% sell on fee. Still a great piece of business by us, arguably our best deal for many years.

Brog, can't disagree with your comments, we've done well out of McGinn, raised by St Mirren, and blossomed at Hibs

John McGinn is out best player and a lot of our attacks go through him. He would be hugely missed if he did move on, I'm not 100% sure if McGinn himself would even want the move or not this season. He seems a smart boy who loves playing for hibs, he knows an even bigger offer may be on the cards next year IMO.

If he was to go however, Slivka is looking very good and we would be able to bring in Hendo. Wouldn't be a crisis but certainly not ideal.

£750,000 for John McGinn is an absolute joke.

They would need to treble that offer (at least) to even start giving the board a decision to make.

The thing that annoys me is that if McGinn was English, he would probably be valued at around £5-7 million, yet English clubs seem to think that they can get Scottish players on the cheap.

Its got nothing to do with his nationality. Where he is playing, yes certainly but not his nationality. Robertson has just moved from Hull to Liverpool for a figure of around £10 million, he was Scottish last time I looked.

I wonder what the general consensus would be among the Hibs support would be, having bought 13,000 season tickets, if it ends up Hibs sell our top goalscorer (Cummings) and our best player by a mile (McGinn).

I would have fancied Cummings to have scored today.

The general consensus I suspect would be that players of the quality of McGinn & Cummings outgrow every team in Scotland and better players than them outgrow the much vaunted EPL.

Providing the club receive decent remuneration for the players and reinvest that remuneration well it is part and parcel of the every charging landscape of any football team
