He was only a loan was he not? Liverpool wanting something like £7m for him.

And fools seldom differ!

[Leitherhibs]

One of the Everton players I mentioned last week is definitely Fraser Hornby, he’s going on pre season with Everton before any decision is made about where he plays his football next season but it’s likely he’ll be going out on loan.

Seems to be gathering some momentum however social media is a dangerous animal when it spirals into conjecture. A couple of posters on here have hinted this week that something is brewing.

You’re in the wrong place if it’s solid evidence you’re after.

Until the club announce anything is happening then it’s pure speculation.

[BoomtownHibees]

Surely shareholders would be aware of a sale?

[truehibernian]

Is there any solid evidence though or is this pure speculation?

Given the media world these days I would say it's unlikely there wouldn't have been leaks about it by now but it's a funny old world. Only thing I would say is STF is an old man now with not the best health so (purely speculating) Hibs may be looking at legacy and sustainability moving into the next era. Who knows.

I suppose the economist in me says we (and STF and Rod) are in a great position to sell and make hay when crowds are at an all-time high, the infrastructure is near enough complete, and the club are in the top flight and challenging for honours, and there are some very talented people at the helm and in communications - so there would be a demand.

Most important thing for any new owners is to get better pies :greengrin that's my main concern.

Surely there would have to be an EGM?Ordinarily they'd only have to show their hand when they'd hoovered up a substantial amount of shares, in this case it could be more complicated than that if they were just buying all of the holding companies shares in one go(?).

I don't know if it's as simple as this, we need a real expert[emoji16]

Doubt the whole story personally. Surely they'd want to buy the yams? That stand, castle view, reduced size stadium so easy to maintain....

Looks like decent money for Motherwell but wanted to pay the laddie peanuts, typical skinflint Celtic.

So effectively paying a chunk of his transfer fee from his own wages.

No one knows but we can say it's magnificent

[NC1875]

Seen somewhere that they offered him 10k plus a week.

Have they ever thought maybe he doesn’t want to sign for Celtic regardless of the money. Arrogant ********s

[Brightside]

The offered him 4 a week. That’s plenty. He was on about £350 before.

[CorrieHibs]

I hope he rejected them, because he wouldn’t get enough first team football.

It would do no harm if he stayed at Well for another season and got a big move down south.

[brog]

Its not plenty if someone in England will pay him double that. Anyway it's good to see Celtc with more egg on their face.

BIG risk for the player and Motherwell, a bad injury or dramatic loss of form could reduce his price and salary, i hope it pays of both as it did with us and SJM

[MacGruber]

I'm all for young scottish talent snubbing Celtic and the The Rangers for going down south or abroad and love Celtic getting egg on their face. To be honest though in this case it sounds like either the player, the agent or both are being greedy. What strikes me is he has had half of a good season. Personally I can't beleive he is going for 3+ million on the back of it - that's crazy. Part of me wants him to go on, be a great player, bypass Celtic and make a fortune down south. Another part of me thinks it would serve him right turning it down then be poor next season and playing for Falkirk in 3 years time

To be fair the boy scored 16 league goals from midfield in 30 appearances in his first season. That's pretty much unheard of.

It's not a big risk because bad injuries that ruin players are not common.

[Unseen work]

If he was offered 4K per week I think he was right to say no.

Yes he may only be on 400 pw now and it would be a huge jump and a great salary (for people out with football and based on him only doing it for 8 months)

But he is being bought for 3-3.5 million pounds and has English clubs interested in signing him who would probably offer double that.

Celtic paid Scott Allan more a week who they signed for free after one decent season in the championship.

If they’re paying that much of a fee he won’t be sitting in the reserves.

I also have a feeling he just doesn’t fancy Celtic and wants to go down south.

£4K a week is a pathetic offer for a player they’d have just braid £3.2m for. That’s the sort of wage we can afford.

The way they have thrown him under a bus is a disgrace.

Hopefully he heads to England and they can watch his career take off just like they have with SJM

Nothing new that I’ve seen. Heckingbottom has said Omeonga wants to sign and we want to sign him but won’t be able to progress until after the Euro u21s and obviously depends on offering Genoa the kind of cash they’d want.

McNulty is pretty much the same but talks are ongoing. Also confirmed we aren’t hanging about waiting on these two and have others ongoing as well in case deals can’t be done.

Other irons in the fire.

[SHODAN]

In the same way as last season I think Hecky'll be happy when we have at least two good players for every position. Right now we'd be looking at:

First XI:
GK: Marciano
RB: Gray
CB: Porteous
CB: Hanlon
LB: Stevenson
RW: Boyle
CM: Allan
CM: Mallan
LW: Horgan
ST: Shaw
ST: Kamberi

Second XI:
GK: Dabrowski
RB: Whittaker
CB: McGregor
CB: Jackson
LB: Mackie
RW:
CM: Murray
CM: Slivka
LW: Newell
ST: Gullan
ST:

Not convinced Whittaker/Slvka are in his plans, and Dabrowski may not be our second choice (plus Marciano might be away). We're also still pretty soft in midfield, and strikers obviously needed.

Looking at that we need two grafters in midfield, another winger and two strikers.

Plenty of time though.

Wouldn’t surprise me if Dabrowski, Gullan and Mackie go out on for another 6 months or so. Dabrowski hasn’t played enough football, to sit on the bench every week. Needs to be playing

I'd keep Mackie in and around the first team, but agree with you on Gullan and Dabrowski.

This is where I am at.

All of the players that they have had raided from them recently have played for half a season for MWell. For what 4.5 months?

Unless I am not aware of them playing before -entirely possible- but I think it is mental they are attracting so much attention after such a short period of time.

If I am right and it has only been the second half of the season, even if it’s been a whole season, you’d think they’d be counselled to stay and develop further with motherwell.

It all seems extremely rushed to me.

Clearly you know, or have been told that they are being greedy? I'd suggest they perhaps have other interested parties, or have reservations about signing, maybe want to keep options open? Who knows?

Whatever the outcome, I hope that a fine Scottish talent finds the right club and progresses.

To suggest you would like to see him fail based on speculation is quite harsh IMO.

I'm with you on this. If the figure of £4k is correct then he'll be Celtc's lowest paid 1st team player by a long way. That suggests to me he's not in Celtc's short term plans but is being bought as an investment. An average Championship team will pay him double that money. The boy has every right to either look for more money or expect to be playing each week. I don't see that as being greedy, more realistic.

[Since90+2]

The paper I read yesterday reported Turnbull's offer was £12k per week. I find that a lot more believable than 4K. Absolutely no chance he was offered that low a wage.

[MSK]

The paper I read yesterday reported Turnbull's offer was £12k per week. I find that a lot more believable than 4K. Absolutely no chance he was offered that low a wage.I think £12,000 is excessive, particularly for a player in the very early stages of his career, I dont know much about the player but celtc will know what level he is at and where he would fit in. £4000 could be more plausible and would be more a more manageable risk should Turnbull fail to make it into a regular starting berth, no doubt that lower figure could have various financial attachments/bonuses added to it.

Or as suggested elsewhere on this thread, he may have had his head turned by some English championship club who have a lot of money sloshing around 😆

[pontius pilate]

Sky sports news are reporting Sheffield Wednesday are lining up a bid for him. So every chance he has had his head turned

The Sun reporting he was offered more than Van Dijk started on at Celtic and Turnbull's agent is asking for £20,000 per week. I know the newspapers are not always correct but I'd be more inclined to believe he was offered £12,000 a week than £4,000.

[DetroitHibs]

John McGinn has written the blue print for any future good young Scottish lads wanting to go far in the game. First off, knock the bevvy sessions and late nights on the head and do everything right. Also don’t jump ship too early, establish yourself at club level and hopefully international level. If your good enough, you’ll make the big money. For me the best thing this lad could do is play another year at Motherwell, that’s not going to happen though.

Wasn't it made out that we were being greedy over McGinn's transfer fee? That we should accept Celtics generous offer for a man who will likely be a squad player at Celtic?

Now we are expected to believe that Turnbull and his agent are being greedy.

The common theme is Celtic and their penny pinching.

Perhaps Turnbull and his agent know what a 3m pound player gets paid and want something close to that?

You reckon Bain will be on more than 4k?

If they do succeed then no doubt they will inflate his value too.

McGinn had proven himself over a number of seasons, in big matches and was a full internationalist - I don't think anyone outside of Celtic fantasists were claiming greed. He had proven his worth.
If Motherwell had turned down 3 million on the basis they valued him at 5 million I don't see as being greedy either.
If he ends up getting £12+ or £20k a week then fair play to him. All in all I hope he makes a succes of himself.
If it transpires his goals and form aren't repeated and he turned out to be a flash in the pan he will only have himself to blame. For what it's worth with championship teams hovering no doubt he can make his seemingly self appointed worth of a wage.

Maybe it's the ridiculous wages that top footballers get that grates with me. Maybe it's that some think they are worth it. Maybe footballers wages the world over should be capped at a certain level and the billions of excess can be used in our health, education, poverty etc

I'm not looking to start a debate or get political. We live in a world where 1 man won't be able to get enough food from a foodbank and another man pockets £100,000 a week whilst complaining of having to force pasta down his neck at 9 in the morning for a lunchtime kick off.

Anyway I digress. It's a short career for footballers if Turnbull thinks he is worth a fortune then good luck to him.
If he turns away a gravy boat and lands in a bigger gravy boat he will have done well for himself. If he misses the gravy boat all together through holding out for a bigger fortune than on offer he won't get any sympathy from me and I would think, 'well serves you right'.

All in all, it's probably because I'm jealous really. That and getting older and grumpier.

As someone else coined it, I would gladly force pasta up my arse for £100,000 a week!

So..... who are Hibs signing?

[Nicho87]

Sky sports news are reporting Sheffield Wednesday are lining up a bid for him. So every chance he has had his head turned

Love island style

[brog]

You reckon Bain will be on more than 4k?

Probably, but in any event Bain's transfer & subsequent promotion were in exceptional circumstances. Celtc didn't pay £3m for Bain.
Anyway, I'm sure you understood the gist of my comment.

[brog]

The paper I read yesterday reported Turnbull's offer was £12k per week. I find that a lot more believable than 4K. Absolutely no chance he was offered that low a wage.

The truth is probably in the middle. £12k a week would mean Celtc would pay out a total of £5m if DT has a 3 year contract. I don't find that believable either.

[Eyrie]

The paper I read yesterday reported Turnbull's offer was £12k per week. I find that a lot more believable than 4K. Absolutely no chance he was offered that low a wage.

The paper will be reporting what Celtc want it to say to their fans.

I think it was reported recently that the average wage at Celtc was £800k pa ie £16k per week. £12k would seem reasonable if they're signing 19 year old Turnbull to be a regular starter but not if he's a squad player which, based on their current midfield, would be their intention prior to him earning a place. So I'd guess that they've offered a lower starting wage with good appearance money and automatic increases after a certain number of games to get to £12k.

[The Sundance Kid]

The Sun article regarding it seemed to suggest it was Sunderland rather than McGeouch who had who had taken up the option for another year.

Admitted they may still let him leave but are looking to ensure they get a fee, which if I recall was almost exactly the same situation he found himself in with Celtic when we signed him permanently.

Going by Wiki he doesn't seem the most dangerous of wingers. Handful of assists and goals in the last 3 seasons.

Every chance Wiki could be wrong though.

[Wilson]

You are right about his stats. I saw an article from 2017 which mentioned he had goals in his locker and was looking to show that more. I'm sure McGinn was saying similar a couple of seasons ago so it shows where hard work can get you.

I imagine, if there is interest, then Heck will have seen a player he can help improve. If his goals and assists were particularly impressive at this point then we would likely not have much chance of signing him.

I also saw a breakdown on his appearances in league one and they seem to have spent half of the season playing him on the left and then switched him to the right for the other half. Heck has talked about pace and power and maybe there is some versatility in there as well.

Having featured in a good number of games at league one and championship level, and perhaps still to hit his peak, he could be worth a punt.

I think he's gonna become my fave player as I had same issues when I played.

I could play anywhere - including keeper - and was always sub accordingly.

When I did start I rarely put decent run of performances together and would soon be benched again.

Interesting we are going for another winger if true, perhaps he sees Newell as playing more centrally or Boyle up top in a two?

Maybe he just wants lots of options as he previously said he wants strength in depth and to make better use of the ball in the final 3rd.

Also important to remember he had a lot of departures this summer, a couple will be coming in as bench players initially.

We were all too predictable last season with little pace in the team. We all know Gray and Stevebson are good solid pros but not the best attacking wingbacks in the world. Could be we're looking to play with wide pacy players and stay solid at the back 4-3-3/4-5-1/4-2-3-1, 3 systems that interchange and are very versatile.

Lennon?

Much as I like Boyle and think he’s a very good player for us. I don’t think he’s good enough for someone like Celtic.

I hope he’s here a while yet, but I wonder if his improvement is starting to level out and he won’t get much better than he currently is. I hope the season before last wasn’t his purple season as he was poor up to his injury last season. With mitigating circumstances of the shambles under Lennon and being shoe-horned up front.

I hope the season before last wasn’t his purple season as he was poor up to his injury last season. With mitigating circumstances of the shambles under Lennon and being shoe-horned up front.

Most people would probably say Jonny Hayes isn't good enough for Celtic but he is there and got quite a few games last season.

This. And Boyle is massively under rated also.

He might not be the most technically gifted player but he causes issues, he's as quick as Burke with a better end product.

Is that the guy they were all frothing at the mouth over that was going to be the final piece of the title winning jigsaw?

[Aim Here]

We were all too predictable last season with little pace in the team. We all know Gray and Stevebson are good solid pros but not the best attacking wingbacks in the world. Could be we're looking to play with wide pacy players and stay solid at the back 4-3-3/4-5-1/4-2-3-1, 3 systems that interchange and are very versatile.

It wasn't really the fault of recruitment - two out of our three fastest players spent the better part of the season injured, so instead of a trifecta of Horgan, Agyepong and Boyle terrifying the opposing defence, it was mostly down to just Horgan.

[GreenOnions]

Yeah, but don't forget Sevco founder Charles Green's statement " Yorkshire men have big hands " :greengrin

I thought that was Confucius

[Unseen work]

On paper our signings looked very good imo and looked to have a strong squad, only thing I thought we were slightly lacking was energy in centre mid.

But with Horgan, Boyle, Aygepong, Kamberi, MacLaren and Hyndman I thought we would have plenty of energy and attacking options. Mallan also offered a huge goal threat.

Unfortunately near enough all of them were injured at some point of the season.

Hyndman was a huge disappointment as I thought I would be brilliant.

Aygepong looked very good in cameo appearances but with him we knew he had a track record of injuries.

.............................................Marci ano/Bogdan/Laidlaw............

Gray/whittikar......McGregor/Efe......Porteous/Hanlon......Stevenson/Nelom

..........................Mallan/Slivka.......Milligan/Bartley.....

Boyle/Aygepong...............Hyndman/Murray..........Horgan/

.......................................Kamberi/MacLaren/Shaw.......


Looks strong if all fit and playing to there best. Also shows we heavily backed Lennon financially.

[cabbageandribs1875]

I think he's gonna become my fave player as I had same issues when I played.

I could play anywhere - including keeper - and was always sub accordingly.

When I did start I rarely put decent run of performances together and would soon be benched again.

My best spell was as a striker - 7 in 6 games - and then third hernia and playing XI days over.. I do miss it

Bang goes another rumour.

[Unseen work]

Not overly fussed if we miss Devitt.

Plays behind the striker and I expect Allan to be there all season, also have Newell, Mallan, Murray and Horgan who can play that role.

Am I right in saying this one came from Alan Nixon?

If so, I wouldn't be in a rush to class it as us having missed out on him. I think he has one of the worst rumour success ratios on the go (particularly when it comes to us)

In fairness, his story was that we were interested in him, not that he was signing for us. We could well have been interested without him actually signing.

Think Nixon said a week or two back we’d dropped out the running.

[Hibeewilly]

Bang goes another rumour.
I asked Hecky at the Hibs Club the night of the Q & A with him and Stockdale (when he told us about the friendlies that had still to be announced) if the Carlisle friendly was part of the deal for Devitt as it had been rumoured prior to that night. He said "we're not interested in Devitt"

Aye true. We could've been interested without even putting an offer in too.

Looks a big powerful and slightly awkward player.

Seems capable of playing numerous positions.

I’d imagine with who else is interested we won’t stand much of a chance.

Looks like a few clubs with maybe a bit more money to spend than us looking at him which is unfortunate. Not surprised Hearts are looking at him as he's 6'3. Here is the usual YouTube real

6' 3" midfielder......great career goals to games ratio......better than a lot of strikers.....interesting one

Jeez I never said it was the recruitment's fault, my post said only that we were slow and predictable, yes we had players out injured but Agyepong was a poor signing and we had only Horgan as a proper wide player, Hecky has spotted our weak areas and looks like he may be putting that right.

[Heisenberg]

Looks like he played further forward last season which would explain his 1 in 2 ratio. Will be tough to get him going by the other teams interested.

Transfermarket has him as an attacking midfield player or as a 2nd striker? No idea if that's accurate

Could well be, I was just going by Keith Downie’s description. If he played midfield and scored that many it’s even more impressive.

Pretty sure I read Agyepong had been out injured for a lot of the previous two season, so our recruitment or maybe medical team should have some questions asked of them over his signing.

Like signing for us! He's a great wee player, or at least always seems to be when he plays against us.

[Vault Boy]

Hibs, Hearts and some Championship teams after Chuks Aneke according to Keith Downie.

Chuks was an absolute classic signing on FM 2012.

This seems like one of those countless occasions where a journo just throws a load of clubs together that would be looking in similar markets just to see what sticks.

I hope it's genuine though, could be a very useful player with something completely different to the rest of our midfield options.

[Franck Stanton]

More roster refurbishment news on Monday?

Obviously not

Can't stand all the diving he does, plus don't think I could forgive him for his head butt on Porteous.

Ryan was up on his feet a couple of seconds after the point where the clip ends yet the BBC's Aberdeen pundits were accusing him of play acting.

Imo he went down very easy, barely a head but either.

Was disappointed in Porteous when he done that

[HFC93]

Glad GMS won't be playing against Hibs next season. He always seemed to get the better of us.

[Souter96Mac]

Both Anthony Forde and Jon Taylor look decent winger/attacking players. Would be happy with either of them.

i was surprised and glad he only got the last 15 mins against us the last game, he did usually cause us problems



not that it mattered the last game

Even in that short cameo, he won a penalty for the sheep but was saved excellently by Marciano.

Anyways, I’m glad he’s leaving the sheep. Always seemed to raise his game when he played against us.

I disagree, the clip clearly shows Mackay-Steven's head making a solid connection with Porteous's chin. If you've got Hibs TV you can see it clearer in the highlights at about 8 mins. He should have got a straight red for it.

It looks like a clear red card. Lifts the heid into the chin, wee scrote. Dinnae like him, but he’s decent.
