Stokes Loan

I'd it's a loan why would his agent be trying to squeeze more money out of us? He'll get same wage regardless. More likely just paper talk because there's nothing else to write about.

Not a loan though, reported he's closing to agreeing a pay off

Sun reporting he has agreed a pay off with Blackburn. Let's hope his desire to move to Edinburgh sways him instead of the cash. With Elvis to pay I'm sceptical that he'll choose us.

I'd be gutted if Stokes had everything lined up with Hibs to get the deal done and then chased the money elsewhere. Can understand that it's hard to turn away what would likely be several hundreds of thousands of pounds though.

That's a much easier decision to make when you're not the one making it.

Hopefully Hibs move very quickly to get him to agree terms and commit pen to paper on a contract.

Interesting that Kenny Millar on Twitter having given it big licks all summer that stokes was Defo signing...appears to be back tracking this morning saying he is "less positive now"...thats concerning me. Hope there are other irons in the fire in case this all goes t##s up

Matty it would. Hope he doesn't chase the cash and see's sense and come back and play every week!

We shall see!

He didn't at any point say that Stokes was definitely signing. No point in just making things up.

I never meant that mate sorry but he did say last week he fully expected him to sign...im as desperate as any of us to see him come back...but Kenny doesn't appear confident anymore

The Elvis case may be an issue - he has / had a £200,000 fine to pay!

I think his girlfriend (if they are still together ) was from Edinburgh or near by so that may help.

Kenny Miller is not that daft to have been saying that Stokes is defo signing

Think you need to re check his tweets

Give home a big signing on fee then.... if we are that keen on him then stump up

[.Sean.]

Hibs should spend the 250K that we seem to have floating about on his signing on fee.

Cummings fee hasn't been spent and we NEED quality up top. I'll be pretty disappointed if the board fail in getting him.

[Jim44]

Have these other clubs been sniffing around all the time or is it convenient for the press to spice things up a bit now that he is imminently available?

[BoltonHibee]

Another Scottish club were showing an interest earlier in the week. I do t know who the club were, I assumed Aberdeen at the time.

I've always had my doubts as to whether he was a realistic prospect, but here's hoping.

I can only be Aberdeen BH. He won't get a game at Celtic and won't sign for Sevco so that leaves the Dons.

I'd be very disappointed if he chased the money and ended up there!!

So who exactly are these supposed new suitors then...,, I hate the 'exclusive' articles that simply throw the cat among the pigeons without even a hint at who else is interested.

If they are blowing us out of the water in terms of wages then I'd guess it's English clubs. Aberdeen might be able to offer him a bit more than us but I'm confident he'd come to us instead of them if it was a choice between the two.

Just saw that on twitter but they didn't name another club. Could be his agent playing Hibs in the press to squeeze a wee bit more out of us

Or Lennon's response could simply be "we're not prepared to pay any more" rather than "we couldn't afford to pay any more". There will be a lot of clubs expecting the Cummings cash (and the pressure from us to find a replacement) to 'up' the level of fees/wages. Maybe the club is playing a blinder here in terms of making it clear that this won't hold us to ransom. Or maybe we're penny-pinching. I'd hope it was the former.

A Dublon judge set that case aside. Elvis must now go thru civil court if he wants to take the case further but civil actions cost.

My memory is failing me. Did he join in the huddle or invent it? What did he do that was so bad, apart from **** off to WBA at a poor time obviously.

Gave zibi a 3 year deal after the 2006 semi final and hid it from the fans.

That was such a bad decision it could only have been done for spite against the club for some personal reason.
If not, then put it down to just one of his many bloomers.

If you read his twitter now he is less confident of it happening, he had obv heard of other teams offers

[Mick O'Rourke]

Since Anthony left Hibernian,he appears to be in Edinburgh(or Dublin) every other week or so!
Clearly loves our fair City.


Aberdeen?
If he chooses to return to Scotland.. it could surely only be back with Hibernian.

I'd imagine that as soon as it became known that we were interested, Levein will have suddenly become desperate to get his wonky big 6-fingered hands on him.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

If he comes fine if he doesn't then we are in no worse shape than we were last week
