Pretty much begging to come back.
Do it Hibs
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.
He is my favourite player, among a long list of favourite players. Total awesome if makes it back.. :pray:
Aw, yer back! a bit early for my comments, I agree but hey ho. I do surprisingly fully agree with your comments on this one though Mr C.....rab.:wink:Quote:

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

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

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!
Sign him up. Immediately.
He just looks the way you want a Hibs player to look. It has to happen.
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".Quote:

: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.Quote:

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.Quote:

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

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.
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.Quote:

He’s bang average IMO.
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.
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 !Quote:

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.

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

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?!Quote:

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

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).
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.
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.
