Aaaannnd another new twist to the story: https://www.celticquicknews.co.uk/mcginn-will-sign-for-villa/

[Nutmegged]

‘ITK’ Sellick fans claiming as of 1330, McGinn has REJECTED Villa, and is on his way to Parkhead to have talks with Celtic.

I’m calling bull, but I thought I’d pass on.

Didn't read that one but did read Matt McGlone, he's a pretty well connected tim, said as of half 1 he hasn't signed with Villa and his number one choice is still Celtic.

If Celtic have matched the bid then you'd think McGinn would want to talk to them, if he doesn't talk to them you have to imagine all the crap they've did over the last month has put him off

[J-C]

Interesting to read he said Celtic told him he would be simply a back up option but Villa want him as the main man in midfield, I know what I'd chose.

This story is non-sense.

Lenny has just said, on record that Celtic matched AVs bid, but AV were in the driving seat. Not the other way about.

Honestly, they are so deluded. Wonder how they would react if he did end up at Celtc - most the "ITK" bloggers would have to delete most of their content!

[hibbytam]

Frauds is a bit harsh. People like to pass on things they're heard, might be true, might not. I think most of the time it's somewhere in the middle. Even if ITK people are just making things up, it adds to the overall fun of the transfer window. This place would be a lot duller without some of the crackers over the years. Who was supposed to be signing for us because they were on a bus?
You should take everything you read online with a large pinch of salt.

If he's having a medical today after spending the day yesterday with Steve Bruce that would suggest he's made his choice . Highly doubtful he'd be sitting around in Birmingham if he was planning to sign for the smellies all along.

Medical should be the last stage, so looking v like Villa have our man.

Press still talking about £2.1M fee. Shirley that cannot be right ... or is this just for St M's benefit ? :wink:

[Hibernia&Alba]

Villa would be a good move for SJM: huge club with great pedigree, and he will probably get more game time at Villa than Celtic. I wonder whether this means Grealish will now be moved on by Villa? Massive profit for them.

Do St Mirren get one-third of the transfer fee for McGinn?

Docherty away to Shrews from Rangers on loan. Decent player.

……? He’s gone, would only be peeved if a genuine first team blockbuster had turned us down.

And, according to direct quote from Neil Lennon on the BBC Sport website, Lenny has been chatting with Steve Bruce about SJM for months, and SJM had dinner with SB last night and was very impressed.

Would be quite a shock if he turned round now and said, "Actually, Steve, thanks but no thanks, I prefer to go and warm the bench at Darkheid".

Of course. I was more meaning I hope we’ve actually started negotiations with a club/player that we see as a replacement and are potentially a good bit down the line with negotiations rather than just starting to identify them.

It doesn't say he has been speaking to Steve Bruce for months at all.

It says 'Lennon has "not got any plans for McGinn to play" against the Norwegians, saying he has spoken to Villa's "excellent manager" Steve Bruce about the midfielder "on a number of occasions'.That could have been in the past few days.

Fair enough. My interpretation was that it was over a period of time because in normal speech if it was ' a number of occasions' in a condensed time period since the Villa bid you would qualify it by saying 'recently' or 'over the last few days' or some such.

An unqualified statement such as a 'number of occasions' suggests a more spread out time span.

But, yes, accept it's a matter of interpretation. I am sure club managers talk to each other all the time and so wouldn't be surprising if a scout had talked to SB who had then asked Lenny what he thought and maybe asked to be kept updated on his progress. Mere speculation, of course, so don't jump down my throat.

There's enough on here assure us it was Slivka.

I haven’t seen many, if any, at all suggesting Slivka as a replacement for SJM. I think he’ll be a big player for us this season and will be a regular starter. That doesn’t make him SJMs replacement.

[Heisenberg]

Makes no sense. Why would he even have the medical if he wanted to still have talks with Celtc? Surely a medical is only completed if the deal is going to happen? They are clutching at straws.

Don't know, but intriguing (or just plain daft)... :greengrin

"Lennon saying McGinn is having a medical now at Villa.

"He may not have been what some people wanted but the Manager did want him McGinn and was wanting to come to Celtic - If he signs for Villa as looks likely we have mightily ****** up from the Manager's perspective and he will know whose door to chap."


"He is but he's not signed - everything agreed but he wants to come to us

Villa have given him a deadline to sign - and its running out fast

He's waiting till the wire for us but i'm sure he wont let it go if we are not there

tick tock"

[Famous Fiver]

Must admit I am confused.

I believe that it had been widely reported in the Scottish press that Celtic had made a final offer with a deadline (unknown) which had passed, so any Celtic deal was dead in the water, and they would pick him up on a pre contract in January for nothing.

Now that a fee has apparently been agreed with Aston Villa Celtic are suddenly matching that offer, which reportedly is in excess of any of the (paltry) bids they had already made.

Fake news or what? It appears Glasgow biased Scottish press are making things up as the go along.

In any case, if Celtic have such a low opinion of SJM's worth, how come they are apparently rejecting a Fulham bid of a reported £20 Million for Boyata?

Celtic made heir final offer and said they wouldn’t be back. The press reported that.

Celtic then realised they'd have to come back in with a better offer if they wanted to speak to the player and apparently they’ve done just that.

Pretty simple stuff really!

The Boyata thing is completely irrelevant and has nowt to do with Hibs or McGinn.

[Famous Fiver]

Celtic acted like Billy BigBaws and have had to climb down and enter the real world. Not if you believed a subservient Old Firm biased Scottish press but it has happened.

I think the Boyata comparison is very relevant because it shows up their arrogance in dealing with a Scottish club by offering peanuts but telling an EPL team that they are not offering enough for a player who, in my opinion, could not lace McGinn's boots.

If I had the choice of picking Boyata or McGinn in my team it would be McGinn every day of the week

Netters post what the hear on the grapevine in good faith - they don't have to say anything at all - so why do some give them such a hard time? Sure, they'll get it wrong now & then - that's only to be expected. There are a few bona fide ITKers on hibsnet that have quite good form however, as in all walks of life, there are a few smart erckies who muddy the waters for no other reason than for the pleasures of self abuse.

That the boy that played for the Huns?

Is he a central midfielder?

Think so

[JimBHibees]

That the boy that played for the Huns?

Yes thought he looked a decent player in a poor Rangers team.

[Heisenberg]

Is he a central midfielder?

Yes. Quite small. Played 13 times for the Huns and scored four goals, according to the ever reliable Wikipedia.

[Bostonhibby]

They just make stuff up eh [emoji23]
Whatever helps them sleep at nightI don't think there's many financial decisions taken at ER these days without getting inside information and advice from the average drone believer who posts on kickback. It's just good financial management.

Financially self sufficient the week before putting themselves into administration and still struggling to pay for the fit out of a massively over budget single tier megastand.[emoji23][emoji23]

Was voted Rangers YPOTY despite only joining them in the January transfer window.

4 goals in 13 league games for them from midfield.

We’re dealing with Man City, Villa and Bournemouth.

They’ve been dealing with the real big boys though eh!

[SHODAN]

Presumably Hyndman is our McGinn replacement, at least in the short term. Will we have an option to buy?

[brog]

The Greg Docherty to Shrewsbury on loan from The Rangers is a strange one. Took them for ever to sign him from Hamilton with payments staged for about a year. Many on here fancied him & he was a bit of an icon in his short time at Ibrox. Gerrard walks in the door & 10 minutes later he has no future & eventually goes to one of the smallest teams in England on loan. Must be a story here.

I'm not sure. I have a very good mate who is a Jambo. We often have decent chat about football but I can tell sometimes he buys into their party line. At least last season he was admitting that they were gash for most of it. Not sure that he is convinced that about some of the players they have bought so far. But still get the impression that he doesn't rate McGinn. Strange.

This Emerson Hyndman looks very like a Scott Allan type. Was recently in discussions with Wigan over a loan move

Very good going forward though which is the way of the modern full back fairly often. He’ll be a huge loss to Rangers if he goes.

[hibees 7062]

He was selected as Rangers (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rangers_F.C.)

Sevconian opinions of Hyndman.

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

I wonder if this Hyndman deal means we’re not going for Allan anymore? Both creative midfielders.

[ShadesLongThrow]

Just under £3m to us makes sense. Assume the fee is £4m and St Mirren get a third of the profit. The profit would be say £4m minus £100k fee originally paid and minus say £300k for wages and bonuses over the last 3 years so £3.6m. St Mirren get 1/3 of that which is £1.2m leaving us with £2.8m.

[calumhibee1]

Aye he's no very good and Gerrard doesn't rate him.

I think that’s about it. He’s decent but probably not good enough for the top 4 in Scotland IMO.

[Hibernia&Alba]

You think so? Not for me. I'd take £3 million, if I were them.

Naw, you can use Mastercard up here anaw.

[calumhibee1]

I would definitely take £3m for him but he’s good for a decent amount of goals and a barrel load of assists every season. IMO he’s their best player.

Bournemouth supporting pal says we are one of a few clubs to have asked about a loan deal for Emerson Hyndman - the USA midfielder who was at Rangers a while back... I guess it could wait until after tomorrow’s deadline down south since loans can still be done up until 31 Aug.

Good work that man.

So hopefully we can sign him permanently for a small fee at the end of the month.

Wages likely to be more of an issue than transfer fee I’d imagine but with cash in the bank hopefully we can get something done.

If we got him on a 3 or 4 year deal I’m sure we’d get a decent fee in the future.

Hampered by the fact we are losing our best player, a legend

[Aldo]

I’m gutted but happy for the lad. Listening to him during parts of that interview it’s clear he’s very level headed and has taken good advice prior to the move.

Good luck to him!

Saga is finally over and time to move on whilst wishing him all the best!

Thanks fir everything John! [emoji22][emoji30]

Upwards and Onwards.... The Hibs go marching on!! :flag:

My favourite ever. Good luck John

They’ve got McGinn
Super John McGinn
I just don’t think we understand
He’s Aston Villa’s man
He’s better than Zidan
They’ve got Super John McGinn

[PapillonVert]

It's very sad that SJM has gone (we knew it would happen one day).

Can only say, all the best, John, hope you achieve everything you set your heart on.

[Sean1875]

Absolutely gutted. I know that the deal was the right one to make but breaks my heart seeing him in a football top that's not Hibs :boo hoo: A true legend who will always be welcomed and remembered fondly around these parts - thanks for everything SJM

[Heisenberg]

Maybe we were struggling to agree terms so agreed on a 6 month deal as a temporary solution so we could get a deal done tonight for him to play tomorrow. Terms to be reviewed again in January.

Good point, forgot about the deadline.

Gutted to see McGinn leave but delighted he’s not gone to Celtc. Hibernian legend.

[madhatter]

Think this is the most upset (in footballing terms) I've been with regards to players leaving Hibs. He is a legend not only for what he did on the park but also for the way he conducted himself off the park. Sad day but also a good day, I hope he goes on to have a great career. Best of luck John.

Says it all

Whilst it was inevitable he would leave this window its still painful that he's gone

True to the type of guy he is he made sure that we got something for helping him on his way when he could easily have done a McGeouch and left next summer lined his own pockets and left us with nowt.

Best of luck to my favourite Hibs player ever.

[Speedway]

We’ve not got McGinn
Super John McGinn
We’ve a loan signing
And ex hun instead
If we don’t splash the cash
And stop signing gash
I’m away off to ma bed.

[brog]

If Celtc have a bad result tonight, cue Nightmare in Paradise!

[Crazyhorse]

Sad to lose you John but we are grateful for the money. :aok:

What was the deal in the end? Seen everything from £2.1m to £6m on here.

[madhatter]

Surely Kamara will be in a list of targets for us now?

It’s like watching yer own laddie leaving home, you’re proud of him setting out into the world, you’re hoping he succeeds and yes you’re a wee bit sad.

Go on son, show the world what you’re made of.

You have the ability, humility and hard work ethic to achieve all your dreams and I believe you will.

You’ll always have a place here should you miss us too much.

Thank you John, it’s been a tremendous pleasure to have watched you.

Great post

Exactly how I feel

Couldn't have expressed it better

It's the old undisclosed fee. I hope we got at least £3 million.

[AT8]

Another positive to take from him going is this.....when was the last time we sold a legendary player for mega bucks? For the past decade or so (not including the years following May 2016) we have been saddled with absolute dross who no other teams wanted, never mind splashing serious cash on. We are now in a position where we can sign up and coming Scottish talent, enjoy them for 2 or 3 years and then cash in. Yes, it's very sad that he's gone, but we have the memories and now a large chunk of cash to work with and start the cycle over again.

[Onion]

We had McGinn
Super John McGinn
Celtic didn't understand
They sat upon their hands
Now, he's a Villa man
Celts lost Super John McGinn

Really hope we don't sing his song (or variations like this). He is a legend but we need to move on and celebrating the fact he didn't sign for Celtic just doesn't seem the right way to go about it. We need to support the players that are still with us.

We still have quite a few legends here who need supported, especially tomorrow! Intrigued to see how we approach tomorrow's match. Very difficult tie for us now!

:agree: The McGinn song should be retired as a mark of respect :not worth
