Cheers jacomo never sure if rules change and I just miss them. 👍🏻

There are still sanctions in place for trying to poach youth players, but I’m not sure clubs even bother to report another club for ‘tapping up’ one of their players these days, do they?

This is why players have agents. Nisbet could truthfully say that he’s never spoken to Celtc, while in the background his agent is negotiating personal terms.

Was wondering what was going to replace the Leigh Griffiths saga on this thread.

Now looks like Kevin Nisbet ongoing speculation is going to take it towards 5,000 posts.

When exactly does the transfer window open so that matters can move on.

As far as Celtic are concerned their targets seem to be players with more vowels than consonants in their name.

Maybe i am missing something but the transfer window has been open since 9/6//2021

[CJHibby]

In the event of Kevin Nisbet leaving, I'd hope he goes to another league and not to another Scottish club. Fwiw, I think Lawrence Shankland would be a brilliant replacement but fear Hibs may not meet his wage demands

[Ozyhibby]

The people saying get rid of Nisbet are probably the same people who were saying it January for half the price. Lucky they are not running the club.

Aye. Old reports would suggest Shankland is already earning more than Hibs would pay, with United apparently convinced they would make the outlay worth it with a big transfer fee, which is looking less and less likely.

3/4s of a million pounds as well I read, possibly going up to a million!! Unbelievable for that big useless lump. If he is worth that then Hibs are 100% right to turn down £3m for Nisbet

And people down there slag off Scottish football

Yip, getting boring now, nothing but baseless speculation in my opinion.

I think this is basically how it works now. Agents are just the middle men to get round that type of rule these days.

Thanks for clarifying the situation.Noted 09/06/2021 to 31/08/2021.

Was there an extension last season,that went beyond end of August 2020?

Could extension happen again next season ?

[GreenCastle]

I think we are only getting started to speculation and movement with Hibs players. But it's important we try get this sorted soon to avoid the ongoing distractions and try bring in new players to get settled in.

But when you are renowned for getting the best price possible for players sometimes the deals drag on longer than you want.

Also would this be the first player since Petrie left we have tried to sell for decent ££ ?

Nisbet - high possibility going to Celtic or elsewhere.
Mallan - will he wanting regular football ?
Hallberg - convinced he won't be back - don't think he's even back in Scotland.
Porteous - this summer or next will probably move on

The radio silence on Doidge is odd too -except the Covid snippets - hopefully he's ok and still planning to be here.

I'm sure I read that Mathie and his team have a shortlist for every position in the event that interest grows to the point of potential transfer of a current player.

Edit: I think it was a podcast

[bod]

Think we’d be working on his replacement as soon as we signed him maybe sooner than expected though

[Dazzjw1875]

Any news on another bid for the CB from St Johnstone?

So Hibs must have given permission for these talks to happen. You can’t discuss a player’s future with another club he’s contracted to unless it’s the last 6 months of his deal or owning club allows. Or have I got that wrong?

For pretty much every single transfer that happens, then the player is contacted 1st, by a variety of methods. Way back when it was usually a team mate who sounded the player out, nowadays it's mostly the agent though in the age of social media there's plenty other options. It makes sense, there's no point in starting negotiations with the parent club if the player's not interested. The authorities turn a blind eye apart from exceptional circumstances.

I dont think there is anything to stop a club speaking to a players agent.

Don’t think there is, but he shouldn’t be making it public, his client has a 3 year contract with us, unless Hibs have gave him permission to talk to other clubs.

Also was common when players met up with other players on international duty, can remember waiting at Glasgow airport to collect someone and watch the Scotland players who were at English clubs leave in there top of the range cars, players must get there head turned with what they hear and see on international duty.

Right, can we just go ahead and sell him please? With a replacement in too? This is just going to drag on and on and he clearly doesn't want to be here.

Whilst that might be what we (both the club and supporters) think and want, we'd be foolish to make any sort of signs that we're prepared to do that.

We have one of the league's top scorers, he's an internationalist, he is attracting a lot of interest and is on a long contract.

We don't need to sell, we don't want to sell, but if an offer comes in that is to good to refuse then we wouldn't want to stand in our much-loved player's way.



(BTW, I want him gone, asap, for as much money as possible and for us to have an adequate replacement in asap).

Huns couldn’t afford Nisbet, unless they sold Morelos or Roofe.

Spotted Hallberg last week near Newhaven. Maybe he’s self isolating? 🤷🏼*♂️

He said..."I know Glasgow is like Liverpool - a proper football city with proper football fans and I know the people are very similar."

Probably explains why I don't like Liverpool

He's not self-isolating if he's out and about.

Without a doubt. Many transfers originated in that manner but I know specifically of Stevie Archibald to Spurs.

I find it extraordinary that you should be in such a hurry to get rid of our best striker.
