We have that modern day conundrum of a player who probably wants a move and a club who want the best deal possible for themselves. What would you reckon HIbs would expect for him?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Personally, I'm not convinced that Nisbet would be effective in the English championship. His all round play and dynamism would need upped a few levels. The goal scoring instinct is there though.

I’m not as convinced by him as many and although there’s times he looks class there’s a lot of games that pass him by.
This is maybe the cup final talking but I wouldn’t be bothered in the slightest if he’s here next season, especially if we are getting upwards of £2.5m for him.

Just my opinion though.
If I’m a scout, and I’m not, I’m not watching him for 6 months last season snd reporting back that he’s a £3m player. As you say though, he’s scored the goals so others who know better than me may disagree, I’m just not convinced we will get any big offers for him.

There's just a sense of the attitude problem about him from me.
We should be able to get a reasonable amount for him based on the goals he's scored and potential, and invested properly I'm convinced we'd be better off.
He's been a successful signing but he can't play up front on his own, we struggle a bit to find a formation that allows us to play him and Doidge together and I prefer Doidge every day of the week.
Can't quite put my finger on it.
FWIW - as good a player as Griffiths is, I think there's a whiff of trouble about him too. It should be a "no brainer" that we sign him based on how well he did for us before and the natural ability he has, but he's had more than a few problems at Celtic and I'd be concerned he might have more of the same with us.

He strikes me as someone that’s a student of the game and wants good professionals in the changing room who want to learn. That may be Griffiths but I don’t think that’s the perception of him.
I think he may have concerns about him being a bit of a distraction to the group.
We appear to be targeting the Scottish market mainly though and there isn’t many other obvious candidates apart from Griffiths so he might decide he’s worth the risk.

Nesbit is an international striker who has scored goals at every level he’s played at. Hibs will struggle to replace him when he goes but LG could fill the gap but only if he’s physically and mentally fit

If he starts to score international goals against semi decent sides I’ll change my mind as clubs will take punts based on that.

I knew Celtic were at a Crossroads but I didn’t think they would go to Crossroads to get their new manager. One for the oldies.

I still think Griffiths will join Dundee next season. I think he’ll want to go somewhere he will be loved by his manager and McPake will give him that. Suspect they’ll spend a bit as well this summer.

Fit and focused and LG is the best striker in Scotland.
If he signed, fast forward a year....would anyone even blink at him scoring over 30 goals for us?
Comparison to Nisbet are unfair. LG is miles ahead on experience, goal scoring record and big game goals. But Nisbet is young and has it in front of him. He will do well to achieve what LG has but he might better it who knows?
Total no brainer. Get him signed and watch the excitement for next season build very quickly.

A fit and healthy LG would be a great signing. Loves a goal against the ****bos too.

GoC and Riordan second spells maybe comparable?
From memory I think both had decent enough individual stats but weren’t in great sides?
I’m not against Griffiths signing, I totally get every argument for him signing. I don’t think Ross will though and I sort of get why not.

The fitness Leigh has lacked this season has been match fitness.

Is still a risk for us as we really need him to hit the ground running but if he gets fit again he’d score a barrel load

Personally I don’t think it’s a risk signing Griffiths at all.
Everytime I’ve seen him this season he’s looked a massive threat and fit enough, despite having not played for a lengthy period between each game
He’s kept his head down and other than the fitness issues we hear about there’s not been much else said about him. I can’t help but think Celtic/Lennon chucked him under the bus a bit, they seemed to change their mind every week or so if he was fit enough.
Leigh would be an outstanding signing.

Looking at how little he's played and scored for Celtic in recent seasons though when they have really needed him, I can't accept that his signing would be anything other than a risky one, especially as he'd surely come straight in as one of our top earners.
