Pretty much begging to come back.

Do it Hibs

[Hermit Crab]

He is the one I'm most desperate to get signed up on a long term deal, Hibs have, and will continue to resurrect his career, we could get big money for him in a few season time if he keeps playing the way he is. I just think he's a such a talent and a joy to watch.

Lennon will get this sorted hopefully.

[rcarter1]

He is my favourite player, among a long list of favourite players. Total awesome if makes it back.. :pray:

Yes I'm back a changed man. :greengrin

Back to the point, get SA signed up asap, he wants to be here and we want him here, some players just fit with a club. SA is one of them.

[keep the faith]

The player I want to see most again next year. He seems to love the place too.

[Nicho87]

4 year deal. No more, no less.

A player that on his day is simply majestic.

Closest we can get to a latapy of this era.

Now he was a player !

[Nicho87]

Spoilt and lucky to have him and sauzee in the same team.

Ridiculous really.

TAKING A HALLIDAY Rangers ace Andy Halliday wanted by Hibs as Neil Lennon looks to replace Dylan McGeouch and Scott Allan . Could this be something to do with it ?

I’d still sing his song even if he was a Hibs player.

[monktonharp]

I’d still sing his song even if he was a Hibs player.So, you sayin' ...

oh Andy Andy, ****** it up at Hampden but he's awrite now?:confused:

[monktonharp]

I’d still sing his song even if he was a Hibs player.that would defo give him a lift, as he pulls on the green top every week, dreading your sanguine comments from the terracing.:greengrin

[21.05.2016]

If I was Allan I'd be very very keen on signing a deal with hibs. Things just seem to click for him here and he's clearly not in Rogers plans at Celtic so it makes sense.

He's made a few bad decisions in his career so far which I think have stopped him being further on than he should be but here's a great chance for him to really establish himself again, get himself right back in the spot light then many a couple years from now he will get the chance of a big move. I think he was too quick to move from hibs last time and Celtic was not a bright move (lets face it, they never really had much need for him, they just wanted to get it up the huns and take him from under their noses just because they could!).

Come on Scotty, get signing!

[Baader]

Sign him up. Immediately.

[Shrekko]

He just looks the way you want a Hibs player to look. It has to happen.

[Onion]

Really hope this comes off. Quality on his day and seems to fit Hibs like a glove. In saying that, might see Sevco have a nibble again during the summer, weaken us and strengthen them at same time. Its what they do.

They gave them a hell of abuse at ER last week. I suspect a large amount of their fans will never forgive him for rejecting them in favour of celtic of all clubs, it made a right mug of them given how confident they were that "one of their own would return home".

He didn't reject them Hibs wouldn't sell to them because their offer was a joke and going up by 50p a time.

Seemed like he enjoyed scoring down that end of the ground though.

:agree: he hasn't said so but I'd imagine the laughably low bids were humiliating to him. You'd think if they rated him they'd have made a proper bid instead of a derogatory one. I doubt the rangers are his 'heroes' anymore.

Watching him play against them I don't think there's any doubt about that any more. In particular in the 2-1 game at Ibrox he was enjoying goading the home fans. When he won his penalty there he turned round and laughed in the faces of the raging huns. He also enjoyed winding them up in the first half last week and to me doesn't appear to have any love for them. He's one of us now. Get him signed up Leeann.

Come on Scotty, get signing!

It's Celtic that we need to persuade..not Scotty. He is contracted to them for another year, so we will almost certainly need to pay a fee.

[BlackSheep]

Worst comes to worst can we not just sign him on a season long loan with a view to getting him for free at the end of his contract?

The only danger being if he plays a whole season like he has done since January for us then other suitors will come calling and we may miss out on a fee.

[Smartie]

And I suppose the fact that we want him and he wants to come puts them in a stronger negotiating position.

That’s what will happen imo.

There’s no real incentive for him to accept a large drop in his wages by agreeing to terminate his contract with Celtic to come to us.

Please please please ****ing no

[Smartie]

I don't think Halliday is that bad.

He looks to me like being a Rangers fan playing for Rangers in almost permanent crisis hangs quite heavily on him.

He's been hung out to dry by being played at LB and hooked early in games when the manager has set his team up all wrong.

I think he looks like he needs to go somewhere where he can enjoy playing football, a bit like Scott Allan.

And he'd certainly have a point to prove to a few people.

I'm not all that against the idea.

[calumhibee1]

One of my favourite players to watch in my time supporting Hibs. Such a natural footballer.

Just do a Flo deal. One year loan with option to buy at the end of that. Easy.

If we miss out on SA and sign Andy Halliday instead I will goad the wee prick mercilessly.

He’s bang average IMO.

[Captain Trips]

If we need to pay a fee the larger that is I think the longer the contract we need to offer and hope he accepts. I think he is in the 100k to 500k area hopefully the lower end of that but a player of his ability and how he has been while here, for me worth every penny. IMO I think Celtic will want about 250k.

[Catch22]

If Halliday comes to ER, his new song should be. To the tune of Son of my father.
Oh Andy Halliday
You may have signed for us
But your still a cxxxx

The fact that he wants to sign for us is helpful. Celtic might get offered money by a league 1 side or somewhere abroad but if Scott doesn't want to go, he doesn't have to. Celtic will want money, so it will no doubt be a hard bargaining process between Petrie and Peter Lawwell...the immovable object being pressed by the irresistible force !

I just hope SJM isn't part of the bargaining process.

HOPE

SJM signs a new 3 year deal with a release clause so he can go if an English club come in for him for £3 million or above next year
SA signs and we pay maybe £200,000
Mallan comes in as replacement for Dylan
Kamberi deal is sorted quickly
Mc Larens club punt him about for a couple of months, but he turns down all offers and they end up having to sell him to us at a bargain price.
Barker: Man City feel that the best thing for his development is to loan him to us for another season.

..... we’ll have to McGinn (:rolleyes:) negotiations with them probably.

[ancient hibee]

That would be silly.Why would we want to pay Celtic a fee when he would be out of contract.Nothing like the Kamberi deal at all.

[WhileTheChief..]

Didn’t Rodgers already say that they would be easy to deal with as far as Allan is concerned?

I don’t see Celtic holding out for a large fee at all and think things will be sorted easily and quickly.

[Elephant Stone]

How is there no mention of any other clubs interested in Allan? I don't get it at all. If we could only keep one player out of McGinn, McGeouch and Allan I'd be inclined to keep Allan, he's something else.

Well Hibs are the only club that he's really shone at and he is very keen to come back

[Tug Wilson]

The only place that Scott Allan has achieved close to his potential is at Hibs. Other teams will see that he fits in here. They may even be put off as they will be worried that they get the Scott Allan that played at Rotherham or Dundee. Whereas we know that we will be getting the one that plays for the mighty Hibees.

I said that the other day. The Scott Allan that pitches up at Hibs is IMO a better player than McGinn or McGeouch. Quite why he doesn’t live up to that ability away from Hibs is a mystery, he should be in the Celtic team most weeks. If he creates this many chances for us, how many should he be creating for them?!

Mental eh? He finished joint top of the assist league despite playing half the season in a shocking Dundee team. Seems to have got even better at Hibs as well, playing with proper fire in his belly and scoring goals as well. The kind of player that makes football worth watching.

[Juice-Terry]

So Celtic can't sell him to anyone else before his contract runs out?

[BlackSheep]

So Celtic can't sell him to anyone else before his contract runs out?

Your proposal puts us exactly where we are now.... a loan with a fee at the end is the same as just paying the fee now.

Of course there is the unknown of whether we can afford it now or whether we may be able to afford it in a year, but ultimately it comes down to how much Celtic want for him.

They may even be put off as they will be worried that they get the Scott Allan that played at Rotherham or Dundee. Whereas we know that we will be getting the one that plays for the mighty Hibees.

Being the devil's advocate here, surely that's a good reason Celtc won't want to sell him to us?

Might be some truth in this. SA has been around the houses and singularly failed wherever he's gone - except at Hibs. It would be a big gamble for most clubs (other than those with cash to burn, like Celtic) to take a chance on Scott, especially as he's openly said he want to be at Hibs.

[Eyrie]

The only reason for Celtc to loan Allan to us for next season is so that he can't play against them but can play against everyone else.

I think they're more likely to want a fee which will cover the pay off that compensates Allan for a drop in wages (eg if he's on £5k at Celtc and we offer him £3k, the pay off and fee would be £100k).

[Franck Stanton]

How about doing a "McGinn type" deal. Sign Allan for a nominal fee, say £100.000, with a big percentage of any future transfer fee we get for him going to selik.

[J-C]

Rogers spoke about Allan a month or so ago, saying he was a good lad and sometimes certain players just seem to fit at certain clubs. I still think Celtic signed Allan to noise up Rangers and we'll have little trouble re signing him.
