Yep!! A thread entitled Greggs & people want FACTS!! FWIW I heard same story on that awful night!! I thought some of the reasoning was flawed then & still is now but I can believe we're a bit apart with J McP on basic wages. I do believe however we're looking to compensate in other ways.
Those two are a bit odd imo, and Scott Burns is usually pretty good with his info.
Pernis has made it quite clear he wants to move from United, whether to play in a better league or to improve his wages. Given that we cant improve on the football, we would have to offer him a significantly better deal than he was on at United to even get his interest, so to offer the same is just a waste of time. Im pleased that hes the sort of player we are interested in, but Im not entirely sure what they were hoping for by offering him a deal thats no better than the one being offered by the club hes just left?
As for Michalik, unless hes not our main target for CB (possibly McPake and Clancy?), I cant see why he still hasnt received an offer? Weve known about him as a potential target for what, a week or two now, so for him to have still not received some sort of offer is very strange. Hopefully they have someone else lined up but without a deal on the table, I wouldnt blame Michalik for looking elsewhere.
Tomas Cerny on the radar.
Apparently we offered him the same terms as at United. New team, new season, same attitude. :rolleyes:

Hibs make offer to player.
Agent says that's what he's getting at present club.
Why does he say that is it?
A.Because that IS what he's getting at his present club
or
B.Because he's trying to up the ante and maximise his earnings.
Anyone who thinks it's A should not take part in wage negotiations.
Even a moments thought should make it obvious that with basics and different kinds of bonus and incentives available the likliehood of two offers being the same are zilch.
A Director at D Utd told me that they were really worried they would lose him last year. At Christmas transfer window he was desperate to go home and they had an offer from a club nearer his hometown. His wife had a baby last year (summer time?) and he was desperate to get onto the continent to be nearer them. If memory is correct German teams were interested at the time.
Dundee Utd didn't want to sell as they felt he was worth more in their team.
I would be amazed if he remained in UK and I think no matter what offer was on the table from Hibs he would prefer to be on the continent.
How long is the tache man out of the country at the 'Euros'.
If he is not here you can bet there will be no deals done in his absence.
McPake would be a decent signing, but he was a stand-out in what was a very, VERY poor Hibs side. I'm not yet convinced that he merits a 3 year deal on 3k per week, especially when you factor in the injury problems he's had.
