If someone offered £3m for Porto tomorrow do you reckon we would sell without even negotiating?

Well if someone’s first bid was 3 million then no obviously not because you would imagine there would be room to ask for more.

But it’s more likely someone offers 1 million and we get 1.5 with add ons, no one is going to offer 3 million straight away for Porteous at this stage.

Serious European clubs know about Porteous and he is being monitored. Not saying they will try and buy him, but they are defo keeping an eye on him. Hibs also know this.

How big are the clubs-any names? I rate him very highly. His weaknesses are all solvable, he looks pretty complete to me and is a born leader.

[PH91]

Apologies, i took this thread a bit off topic. I had simply asked r.e. porteous as he is of a similar age and has also only played one season (not even a full one) of first team football.

The general consensus seems to be that 3m+ would be a great deal for hibs at this time, which i agree with, and i think the same applies for turnbull and well.

Anyway, i am very hopeful of seeing porteous captaining hibs and playing for scotland before he moves on to bigger things!

I'd heard that the Andy Murray link up with Porteous wasn't exactly to ensure a long and happy career at Hibs but to ensure he did everything possible to head off to Englandshire for the big bucks asap.

The same person also told me that Hibs were in advanced talks to be sold to rich Americans.

Both of which I assumed to be nonsense.

I’d agree with the last sentence

Would be very nice to see Hibs have rich owners but American owners only rip money out of a club.
Look at Manchester utd and the Glaziers

On the other hand, FSG at Liverpool seem to be doing the right things (although their previous owners were also Americans and far less trustworthy).

Ryan's stats are better than Scott McKenna at Aberdeen 'like-for like' on games played (goals scored, conceded, pens, clean sheets) and they value him at £8 million. He does however need to work on his discipline, agreed.

Can't argue with that, as things stand Ryan will probably get a large number of straight reds in his career. That said, the level of aggression in his game will also mean that plenty strikers just don't fancy going up against him at all. Which is handy.

57 professional games, no red cards. He knows what he's doing.

Ryan is an aggressive player, but for someone with that level of aggression to have had no red cards shows a remarkable level of control.

Interestingly, I heard Edinburgh City were in the process of being bought over by someone who lives abroad.

Not sure how far along it was, but there was definitely interest.

Unless there is a dramatic new TV deal on the horizon I don't see why anybody with cash would invest in a Scottish football team?
The rewards are simply not there, investors in Scottish football have an affinity to each team/area.

Don’t necessarily disagree with the general point you are making however people said the same about Abramovic when he got involved at Chelsea, nobody could see how he could make any money out of it.

I’ve no idea if he has or not but making money isn’t always the motivating factor for rich people to get involved in football these days.

ISTR that Abramovic loans Chelsea money and charges high interest rates on the loans. You don't really think that rich people spend their own money to buy and run football clubs. The Glazers acquired Man U with bank loans and promptly loaded the debt onto the club's balance sheet.

Rich people don't get rich by giving money away, neither do they stay rich by giving money away.

On the American owners, haven't heard any direct claim of that but someone did mention that various comings and goings of people at ER of late had led them to that conclusion. As vague as that.

The source I heard both comments from is an interesting one.

It's not so much about him, but his sources.

Some of his sources are very well placed and spot on. I've had some top notch info from him before.

Some of his sources are absolute slavers and full of nonsense, and when you pass on stuff that came from them then you look like a complete numpty.

I've got to be careful passing on info from him because it is very difficult to sift the diamonds out of the absolute turd.

FWIW I sort of believe the Porteous one. I think both Hibs and Porteous realise we have a very saleable asset there and will be keen to capitalise as much as possible. The priority is most certainly not a long and successful sporting career with Hibs, although it will get nowhere without a strong start here.

Hibs obviously think it will help his development, not sure why anyone would view it as some sort of business decision.

I can't see the relevance of Abramovic imho he had made "new Russian money" and I am pretty sure Chelsea were ripe for picking giving both there location and potential, what then followed TV deals etc means he cant lose on the deal.
He has also "allegedly" used Chelsea for cleansing purposes

I just cant see why anyone would want to buy a Scottish club unless they have an affinity with the club/city

The day will come when I spend my lottery winnings though on Hibs because I will do it for the love not the glory or reward

Every decision to offer or award a new contract is a business decision.

He's saying we've asked Andy Murray to mentor Porteous primarily because we know we're going to sell him and we want to maximise his value.

Yep. Good players in this league but not much more than that.

Think Celtic might spend a few quid as well this summer.

Yet another free transfer shows what we already know. The Rangers are skint.

I actually think Stewart will do well for them though. If it's something Rangers do it's create a lot of chances.

Where’s he going to play and for who? Ryan Kent replacement on the cheap and ineffective on the wing.
