It looks like he may be offski this time. Great deal for all concerned if the rumoured £4m fee is correct.

However, who would you like to see replace him?

Put a cheeky cash offer in for Doherty at Rangers. They won't want to deal with us but they'll be looking to bring cash in having spent a small fortune this summer.

Ain't gonna be any direct replacement for SJM. Sign someone on that basis and they are under immense pressure from the start.

First off, in order to get the right balance in the squad and give us the options on midfield set-up we want, what type of player do we need rather specifically who?

I ain't no coach but it strikes me that if we get Allan, which everyone seems to want, then along with Mallan, Slivka, Bartley, Swanson (who I'd like to see getting a bit more game time than the odd 5-10min cameo), then is it more a McGeouch type player we should be looking for rather than another McGinn?

A lefty is required for balance. Could we tempt Ryan Gauld back to these shores? Still has two years on his Sporting Lisbon contract, so probably unlikely.

We won't be able to afford a SJM replacement but we will have enough to rebuild the midfield with a combination of players that will replace SJM, Dylan and Scott A.

Mallen is a very good starting point but not sure he would work with Scott A. Mulumbu would be a great bit of business and give us the legs and engine of SJM.
Lennon may need to think of another formation with the resurrection of SDG as fitting him and Boyler in might not be easy. Maybe we go back four and play with a right winger. The good news is that £4 million gives lots of options.

Very difficult. We need to replace his strength and ability to drive the team forward - a proper box to box midfielder with a good engine is an absolute must IMO.

You don't sign a John McGinn quality player every window, that's for sure.

Slivka has always been SJM long term replacement so I’m calm about selling McGinn (although I wish he was staying). Slivka will hopefully kick on this season. Juventus don’t sign a player if there isn’t something special about you. Bring in Barker and Allan and we’ve got a team to challenge for second again💚

I've read quite a few times on here that Slivka was brought in as a SJM replacement... did Lennon every say this? Seems like a bit of a myth.

I'm a big Slivka fan and think there's a real quality player in there, but he's a different player to SJM. Nothing wrong in that as we don't necessarily need a like for like replacement, the team will have to adjust. I'd like to see Slivka get a good run this season and see him fulfil his potential. I think there's an even better player than the one we've seen.

Slivka couldn't lace SJM's boots! Yet to be impressed by him and his performance off the bench on Sunday was a shocker. He lacks any real heart and has zero dig, all strong attributes of SJM. I would cut our losses with him to be honest.

Surely this is a wind up. The boy hardly got a sniff last season and to be deployed as a right mid in majority of games he did play well your not going to see the lads potential. He scored and Against the huns and Sellik when he played last year. SJM is a world class player and I ain’t saying Slivkas at that level but he will slot into the void left by McGinn and be a shrewd replacement a nd will hopefully kick on this year.

I'm no 100% convinced by him so far, fair enough we haven't seen a lot of him but any time I have seen him - in pre season etc - I've never been overly impressed.

Been on loan in league 1 a couple of times but never actually played a game in the top flight, he's been around the squad for a while now and never really had a run in the team so would be good for him to get a run and see if he is up to it!

He's nowhere near a replacement for SJM and for folk to say otherwise is deluded. SJM has vision, drive, ability to tackle, can grab the game by a scruff of the neck and his influence on the team is massive. Slivka doesn't have any of these attributes or for whatever reason hasn't shown them. He may go on to be a good player elsewhere but in my opinion isn't suited to the Scottish game

My point was that Slivka is nowhere a replacement for Mcginn as they are totally different players.

The lad at Motherwell, Allan Campbell, is a solid combative midfielder with plenty of potential. For a more established player, I would agree that Mulumbu should be on our radar.

Essentially with SJM leaving we are looking to add some steel to the midfield, which it lacks without him

Would probably be unlikely but if we got £4m for McGinn, around £2.66m after St Mirren's cut I'd be more than happy if we made a bid for Greame Shinnie, I think he's quite similar to McGinn, drive, pace, left sided, good passer and a natural leader, I'd happily test them with a £750,000 bid.

If we add a defensive midfielder then for me (and Allan), Fraser Murray is the 'replacement' for SJM in the sense that he (and the club) can start to really develop his obvious talent over the next 3 years. He needs to work on his core physical strength however so did SJM when he arrived and if you look at SJM when he first signed until the one that is leaving it's night and day (but with consistent improvement season upon season). The same will apply to Fraser and he has all the technical ability to achieve anything he wants to in football.

I saw him at HTC a couple of weeks ago and although he has been injured he does look like he's been filling out. Great prospect and one to watch for me. Also really impressed with the development of Sean Mackie - he is going to be a right good left back / wing back if he gets chances in the first team this season but he may benefit from a loan spell in the Scottish Championship / League One initially. The improved physique on the lad shows he's been working hard.

The improved physique on the lad shows he's been working hard.

I'd actually forgotten all about young Fraser Murray. But think you could be bang on. Anytime I've seen him he's looked a great player. And if he fills out the same way McGinn did we'll be on to a winner.

Surely our priority post SJM is subsidising the Hibs oven gloves.

Sorry but Fraser while definitely has real potential to make it with us, he is not the same type player as SJM at all, physique wide he is a millions miles away just now ! Sean Mackie hasn't half filled out in throats season and I think needs to go out on loan and let's see if can make the step up from development, cos there are certain aspects of his game that are good and some that need worked on, but he has a chance i think !! ..The boy Blake is an interesting one for me, mitt long back from injury i think, but looks like he might be in with a shout of progressing if he continues to develop after his lay off !! He likes getting forward as well ...as does Mackie 👍

I am worried that people are going to judge Slivka this season in comparison with Mcginn. They are completely different players. Slivka will be a very important player for us this season no doubt, but does a different job to Mcginn.

All midfielders we sign for the next few years will be compared to McGinn/McGeouch. We still call the defensive midfield position the Matty Jack role ffs! 😂

Surely this is a wind up. The boy hardly got a sniff last season and to be deployed as a right mid in majority of games he did play well your not going to see the lads potential. He scored and Against the huns and Sellik when he played last year. SJM is a world class player and I ain’t saying Slivkas at that level but he will slot into the void left by McGinn and be a shrewd replacement a nd will hopefully kick on this year.

If only everyone else realised that. World class players get tens of millions.

I’m just glad I’ve been about to watch him first hand at ER for this length of time. No doubt in my mind he’ll make it very big wherever he decides his career take him because he absolutely deserves it. Heart on his sleeve each game and an absolute role model in the way he’s going out this transfer saga

Dundee were quoting £1 million last season for him - I doubt we'd be interested at that price.

...and Hibs were quoting £5m for McGinn but going to sell for less.

I think that Dundee will be a bit more answerable to the bank than Hibs and may need to accept an offer much less than £1m+
Just my own opinion but I don’t think they are that much better off than when they went into administration

Would probably be unlikely but if we got £4m for McGinn, around £2.66m after St Mirren's cut I'd be more than happy if we made a bid for Greame Shinnie, I think he's quite similar to McGinn, drive, pace, left sided, good passer and a natural leader, I'd happily test them with a £750,000 bid.

I’d love to get him. Only one full season as a pro. Previous seasons off games here and there. Last season of contract. Hopefully we can get him

I really like the look of Kamara based on video evidence. Him to do the leg work, and give freedom to Allan (hopefully) and Mallan to be attack threats.

Plus he’s not Finnish, he’s only 22!

Whoever it is lennon and Parker have had lots of time knowing this was likely to happen.
They will be working overtime on the list of possible players.

Hopefully the terms agreed between the clubs includes a good sell-on % to Hibs.

If the tic did match Villa's offer I can't see them playing ball on Allan coming east now, or anyone else for that matter.

Over the next three weeks we should offer Celtic £150k, then £175k and finally £200k take it or leave it offer.

Get Lennon to talk about how Allan is a player he admires in press conferences and get a couple of blogs on the go so Celtic know that if they don't accept the offer we have made we will just get him for free in January while completely ignoring the fact that we actually can't get him for free in January.

I heard they were both going to the EPL £20m each... with a 33% sell on when they inevitably move to Barca/Madrid.
