Get the impression Nisbet is desperate for a move to Celtic.

Why wouldn't he be? Celtic fan, chance to probably quadruple his earnings. Guaranteed Scotland player from now on as a celtic player. We just need to make sure we get the best deal from them and I'm sure we will. We will always be a selling club for our very best players, sadly that means some will end up at the bigot twins. The very very best will end up in England like McGinn, others will fade into obscurity like Fyvie and McGeouch. The main thing is getting the most out of them when here and/or getting the most out of them when selling

I hadn’t really taken to him before. This sort of thing doesn’t help.

Same. My Raith Rovers mate had warned me that he'll look to leave at the first opportunity. The Birmingham thing kind of backed that up. As long as he keeps banging them in for us I'm not too bothered.

Or he’s a celtic fan enjoying a night out with guys he’s just spent a month in the Scotland squad with?

If all you had to do to get a move somewhere was post an instagram story then every footballer would be playing for Barcelona

Or as long as we get a good fee for him I wouldn’t be too upset to see him move on

[ancient hibee]

It’s interesting that so many posters don’t care that our best striker may move on.Much of it seems based on hearsay and rumour of the kind of guy he is. Maybe it’ll make it easier to criticise the club and manager this coming season if we don’t do as well.

That too yeah

[Lancs Harp]

I dont think Nisbet was ever going to hang around too long. Its about what we can get for him and and how we use the transfer fee and progress from there, with the sort of fees beng mentioned we could strengthen various areas of the team if we played our cards right. I would be most surprised if we saw him in a Hibs shirt next season.

[MWHIBBIES]

The length if Nisbets contract means the only thing he'll be doing this summer is what Hibs tell him to do.

Correct. And if we get a stellar offer, then cest la vie - thanks and goodbye

[The Count]

I like the guy dont really know what he has done or said to upset some.We will get a good fee for him and we move on its happened numerous timrs over the years and will not change.Older Hibbies learn its life and its something we have to accept.

[Smartie]

Nisbet’s time at Hibs has been transactional and loveless. Even seeing a Hibs player at the Euros was like that, hoping Hibs get an extra few quid courtesy of the few minutes he got on the park here and there rather than actually wanting any sort of success for “one of our own” which it’s never felt like he is.

With hindsight, I sort of wish he and Porteous had been allowed to leave in January. Whilst there would have been issues with finding replacements, their on-field positive contributions haven’t matched their own inflated opinions of themselves.

It’s weird when they’re both as good as they are (and have the potential to be better still) but I just can’t wait for them to leave, for us to get the money in and for us to get players in who actually give the impression that they’re grateful to be playing for Hibs for a while, even whilst accepting that we’re often nothing more than a stepping stone for good players.

Tin hat on.

[Winston Ingram]

I’d be delighted if he went to Celtic. He’s probably the most overrated player I can ever remember at Hibs.

Celtic have got plenty in their biscuit tin and could afford Nisbet three times over. I can’t see it though as they tend not to pay Scottish clubs what players are worth.

Agree about Griffiths, he’s not got any monetary value just now, that’s not to say he wouldn’t be a good signing, I can’t see clubs spending money on him though, even if he did get a new contract to become a make weight in a deal.

With the changes Celtic have made in the Board room and Management Team it could be we see them loosen the purse strings in new Managers first Season or they could be playing catch up with Rangers fir more seasons than would be acceptable to the Fan Base

Like others I'm neither here nor there with Nisbet. If he goes it'll be for good money and I think we'll be able to replace him.

I'd be far more concerned if we were to lose Doidge.

I like Nisbet, dont think he's done much wrong to be honest, agree re Doidge entirely.

Celtic won’t win the league with Nisbet. If they want to shell out £4m for him to sit on their bench then they’re more than welcome.

same, I put it down to not seeing him for Hibs in the flesh due to covid. he's undoubtedly a talent but I just feel he comes across as thinking he's bigger than Hibs.

Sent from my Pixel 3a using Tapatalk

I want players playing for us that have ambitions to go way bigger than Hibs.

Obviously its how you phrase it, eg 'bigger than hibs' but I've seen nothing to suggest he's arrogant

What's the alternative? We want every player to think we're as good as its guna ever be for them? No thanks

He just seems really really thick eh? Not one us suggesting he doesn't take time off and enjoy it with mates. He's deserved it. But **** like that Instagram post is just moronic and disrespectful to your current employer. There's plenty pictures out there with Allan and all his hun mates. But he's not posting stuff like 'Mon the Billy Boys.

Not one of my season ticket four have ever takwn to the guy. Which is weird for someone who's scored so many goals and earned a call up and a handful of caps whilst at Hibs.

Hope he moves in the summer for a good price and makes Hibs decent money.

Think your first paragraph sums it up. It has felt transactional. Maybe just not seeing him in the flesh but don’t get any sense of personality or enjoying being here from him.

as do I, and most do but there's ways of doing it. we all know they'll move on at some time but do it respectfully.

I'm ambitious and I've had jobs and roles that I've know from day one that I only took as a stepping stone. I always gave my all and acted respectfully. when it came to leaving I left on terms that I would always be able to go back. it's not hard to just keep your head down and bat any questions away. just mention you're committed to being the best you can be and you're happy at Hibs. when he moves then he moves.

I dont think you need a tin hat on at all.

I want a team that will give their all for us, I want players that understand that if they do well for us they can get their dream move to England or wherever - but it should be a 2 way street.

Nisbet was given time to come to terms with the situation with his dad, and Hibs (as you would expect) seemed to do all the right things by him and treated him well and respectfully.

A few short weeks later, how he and his agents handled the Birmingham thing was the polar opposite - and left me a wee bit scunnered if I am honest.

He is not a Hibs fan, I dont expect him to be a badge kissing Franscesco Totti, but a little thought and consideration might have been appropriate.

get as much as we can for Nisbet and invest it in players who want to be here!

Its been said before that he hasn't played in front of our fans, and perhaps thats part of the reason he hasn't become one of us. On the other hand maybe its just him. I see a massive contrast between him and Christian who always puts in a massive shift for us. Different abilities, personalities znd characters I know but it shows how important it is to us that a player gives the impression he gives us his all always. I have no idea how difficult Kevin would be to replace but whatever is best for him and us, and we shouldnt keep a player who wants to move for higher kudos and wages.

Glad we didn't sell either in January because there was no good reason to.

Since then Nisbet has further enhanced his reputation both within and more importantly outside Scotland. The good strikers goal against Holland and his brief appearances at the Euro's will help Hibs to move him on for more than the £2 million Birmingham were offering Hibs. In the meantime he will continue knocking in the goals for Hibs.
As for it being a loveless transaction what do you think Ron Gordon is all about. We are supporters of his club and everything in that club including the players are his assets and he will work us all for his and the clubs financial benefit.
From comments made by Nisbet when he arrived at Hibs I believe he is on a lower wage than he was offered when we tried to sign him 6 months previously. He has done the business and if he is to stay at Hibs this season they should put that right.
A good first half of the season for Hibs and clubs will be all over him with big offers in the January window.

As for Porteous, a million quid was a pants offer. Could cash him in for that sum anytime we want.
Hopefully a more pragmatic and less error prone Porteous plays next season. All the ability in the world who only needs to improve his decision making to move onto the next level. FWIW I would put money on him making the necessary tweaks this season. Greater chance of him being a success at a high level than Nisbet.

Hopefully when we get back into Easter Road Nisbet is still there and we can get properly connected with the players again.

So even though he’s now scored in an international against a top side, played at the euros, it’s a better time to sell and maximise value, you’d rather we had sold in January for less money? Not sure how that makes any sense. I’m a Hibs supporter, players will come and go, however our job is to maximise our income when the time comes to sell and January wasn’t the time to do so.
