There could also be a scenario where a deal taking Nisbet to Celtic with Griffiths coming to us is a possibility.
Hypotheticaly of course but could happen all the same.

Would be keeping those two things very separate.
2 year, £4k a week contract on offer if he can come to an agreement with Celtic about his current deal.

However, expect another season of more talk than action from Leigh at Celtic before the inevitable hot air up the faithfuls backsides "Hibs have always been my team and it would be great to finish my career there. I think I have 3 good years left in me. The Hibs fans are great and I would love to play in front of them again, I loved scoring goals for them against Hearts blah blah blah"

I still haven't worked out why I'm getting a hard time on this thread.

Even though I honestly don't give one, I do object to people inventing stuff about me.

Don’t worry about it, this thread is a total troll fest.

Got to laugh, petty vendettas, “fans” that can’t spell the name of one of the most prominent Scottish players of the past decade, relentless creativity in making up hypothetical situations whereby Hibs are beaten to the signing of players we aren’t even interested in. Quality nonsense.

I think you misread... I asked who is better 'that' we have.

You're right, I misread.

Irvine, Gogic and Newell are better than Brown is now, and Nisbet is better than the current manifestation of Leigh Griffiths.

I certainly wouldn't be swapping any of them.

So we shouldn't be discussing signing proven good players?

There’s no way that Gogic is better than Brown.

Brown hasn’t been playing for Celtc all season for any other reason than he’s still good enough. Gogic wouldn’t even be on their bench.

I could be wrong but I think it's the Admin approach without being an Admin.

Hopefully users who have been registered since early 00's will want to contribute to this thread.

You are wrong.

Quote me one instance on this thread where I've done anything "admin like".

When you can't, at least admit that you're wrong then give me peace.

This is Brown's last season as a starting player, unless he dropped a league.

Gogic will start games unless the manager thinks there's an occasional tactical benefit from keeping him on the bench.

Brown was a fantastic midfielder. He's not now.

Gogic is a better pick for us right now than Brown. Very few Celtic fans wanted Brown to be playing for Celtic most weeks this season. He was there to be exploited when we played against them. Brown is 36 years old and his 5 yard pace has gone. Thats huge for someone in his area of the pitch. He will still have occasional good games but he is nowhere near the level we should be looking at as we look to improve our squad.

so would you if they gave you loadsa moneyevery week
He will say anything to get a contract when the time comes.
Hibs, Aberdeen or Hearts next for Leigh.
Eventually it will be junior football at 36.

**Onion** · 31-03-2021 12:02 PM

Fact that Hibs fans and maybe Hibs would like to see LG back at ER immediately makes him eligible for Aberdeen under their signing policy with money being no barrier ..... "If Hibs want him, we'll have him".

Has served them really well this season

Simple question is... Is Leigh Griffiths better than what we have - Yes. Is Scott Brown better than what we have - Yes. We need to start thinking about how to get over the line to be successful and get to finals and win trophies with this team.

You'll make an Admin one day 👍

What are you trying to say with the last sentence?

There’s no way that any of our midfield are better than Brown and I would say the same re Nisbet and Griffiths.

Brown especially is still streets ahead of Gogic and Newell and also better than Irvine imo. None of them would have got anywhere near the minutes at Celtic this season that Brown has.

I can guarantee you that even fewer Celtic fans would have wanted Gogic or Newell playing for them.

Not being good enough for Celtic (although he still played stacks of games) doesn’t mean he isn’t good enough for us. Likewise with LG.

He was a good player, but he's lost that edge.

He will hardly feature for Aberdeen next season and he wouldn't at Hibs, unlike our midfielders who will play regularly.

**FilipinoHibs** · 31-03-2021 12:28 PM

Leigh on £18K a week and contracted to summer 2022. He aint budging for anything less which means a big payoff from
Celtic.

There’s clearly different shades of opinion re. Brown and Gogic, Newell and Irvine but there’s no doubt in my mind that our present trio are, by far, the better investment in our immediate short term progress and for the next few seasons.

Nah, he’ll start at Aberdeen next season. He doesn’t have to drop down a league.

I agree with your last point, he’s not the fantastic midfielder he once was. Madness, in my opinion, to think he’s dropped to the level of Gogic though. Brown, even now, can still read the game and get into the right positions, and is far better on the ball, than Gogic.

He’d start every week for us. Playing where Gogic plays now.

I’m not casting doubt but I does surprise me how porous the walls much be around players earnings across Scotland and the UK. Is it agents leaking pure unchecked speculation with pundits having a bash too or are players just big mouths?

It wouldn’t be a surprise if Celtc gave him a deal to get him out though. At that point, we’d be as likely to get him as anyone else.

His days of new contracts at £18k a week are behind him.

I think LG to Hibs would be a good move for both parties.

Or it could be the fertile imaginations of fans on forums.

Me tae bud. It seems that if the same figure gets branded about often enough then it's just accepted as being the correct one

Remember when we were all clamoring for Anthony Stokes to be brought "home" and that if we signed him we would be absolutely unstoppable. Then remember when we actually signed him and we were all saying we were going to be banging the goals in and we would be loving watching us pump teams because of the firepower we would have. Then remember how that went?

Aye, me too.

Well that’s that then.
