Leigh Griffiths

**Pretty Boy** · 29-12-2019 04:57 PM

IF Celtic are looking to loan him out to get game time then it's probably not inconceivable that Hibs are a destination they have considered.

They know we have a decent set up, they know we'll look after their player and they know he'll want to come here.

We probably couldn't afford a fraction of Stokes or Ambrose wage when they were loaned to us but that happened. It's a predictable rumour but not the most far fetched we will hear in the coming weeks. I'm not sure there's going to be a big queue of clubs down south wanting Griffiths and I'm not sure he would want to go down there again either.

Trust me.

I absolutely do not trust you. I’ve been hurt in various transfer windows before. I won’t let it happen again.

He will go down south on loan.

What if he doesn't want to? If up to him, I'm 99% he would chose a loan to Hibs over every other team in UK.

Back to us on loan in January.

Glenn Whelan to us on a free transfer in January. Am I doing this right?

***lord bunberry*** · 29-12-2019 04:58 PM

His wages won’t be an issue if it’s a loan deal. Surely Celtic would want him going to another Scottish team that will possibly take points of the huns.

**murray26** · 29-12-2019 04:58 PM

I wouldn’t be totally shocked.. Celtic will surely strengthen in January and Leigh will be further down the pecking order

We potentially have 1 game left against rangers and it’s at ibrox ... I doubt they’ll be thinking about that

***Greencore*** · 29-12-2019 05:00 PM

Anyone else remember when loan players could play against their parent club. Never happens theses days...

***Golden Bear*** · 29-12-2019 05:00 PM

We'll certainly need another striker if Kamberi moves on.

No, you are not.

There are realistic, valid reasons why the leigh to hibs deal could actually transpire. There are literally no such reasons for Whelan to hibs.

***HibbiesandtheBaddies*** · 29-12-2019 05:06 PM

YAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!

Would love if it's true, but not bothered if it's pesh. Just love the sentiment!

.......and love the wee fella.

There are numerous reasons why any number of players could join us but that's not really the point is it? If someone posts that player "X" is joining us with nothing to back it up then it's pretty meaningless, just another .net "fact".....

You can always come back as Leigh Griffiths if not already taken

Apparently he'll only come if we sign Berra, Haring and Naismith too...so looks like its on and we cover all requirement. Striker, Midfield and a useless twat in defence

**Bothar Casca** · 29-12-2019 05:21 PM

Sparky still has some things to work through personally, and Celtic take their duty of care with him very seriously. Therefore he will not be sent down south or to a team they/Leigh doesn’t know well. Lennon has experience of how Hibs have handled players/staff with mental health issues and was impressed.

Sending him “Home” would allow him to continue his recovery as well as giving him regular game time and the confidence that comes with it.

This is not a simple loan deal, there are a few facets to this deal that out Hibs ahead of many other clubs. Finance not one of them.

They are many more valid reasons that it won't sadly. His wages are well beyond us.

Are you saying these talks are actually happening? Or is this your opinion if they were to happen?

20k is yes. But most loan deals are a fraction of actual wage. There are many reasons why Celtic would potentially accept 25-30% for 4 months.

We won’t be paying all his wages though.

Will we pay £5-6,000 a week for one player?

On loan, as a one off - possibly.

On a permanent deal - doubtful

6k ish? Absolutely no chance. His issues make him a massive risk for that much.

**Pretty Boy** · 29-12-2019 05:57 PM

What percentage of Stokes and Ambrose wages did we pay when they joined on loan? How did their wage at Celtic differ from Griffiths? How did we facilitate that but definitely can't make a deal for LG work?

The answer to the all of the above is that no one, outwith a small group of people, has a clue. Therefore we have no idea if a deal is possible and whether wages are a stumbling block or not. It's all conjecture and guesswork.

We would pay the same as Commons and Ambrose ,Stokes got . Definitely possible as Celtic might see it as a chance to put him in the shop window.

We paid £100k to the rangers for Middleton (allegedly) so £5k pw for 5 months = £100k therefore, I’m for it 👍
