[Link] John McGinn

According to reports also Hibs refused to sell to us at any price and the player wasn't keen on the move either so not all Celtics fault really is it?

 

He's expressed disappointment at the end of the past three windows, at our failure to bring in targets. Looks like that trend will continue..

 

Except Brendan has been saying he’s in full control of transfers since he came in.

 

Well if reports are true that Hibs have accepted a similar offer then they can * themselves of they're looking anyone else in on loan. If they come looking fringe players take nothing less than full value up front. *.

 

not a few weeks ago he didn't he said the club deals with the transfers its his job to develop players

 

Broony bigged him up in the press as did Brendan , even pictured him in paper with Celtic top on next to broony .

 

Brendan did say a few weeks back hibs stance on the deal would make celtic walk away so clearly Petrie has said not selling to Celtic and that's why we have taken our offer off the table, but lenny as his manager was pimping him out to championship sides

 

well he aint coming so * him and Petrie too

 

aye until he decides he has had enough lets all wet our pants and worry Brendan will resign now, cracked crests in paper, oh the media don't like us, everyone needs to calm down over a possible 4th choice midfielder FFS!

 

Petrie was never letting him go to Celtic that's it end of close thread and move on

 

down for talks Marie reported fee of £2.1m but "sources" claim hibs where never going to do a deal with Celtic and player wanted move to England more

 

BR and Lawwell will be on the same page with this one, and it’s the same page most of us fans are on; McGinn would be a decent squad player for us with potential to break into the side a year or so down the line, BUT he’s not worth 4m to us.
He is not a priority so if we get him for a reasonable price, all well and good, if not, we move on.

It’s not the case of not willing to spend the money, it’s a case of spending the money wisely, and stumping up 4m for a squad player who’d be available for free in a couple of months is not money spent wisely.

 

Its more worrying, the fact we're nearly half way through August, the defence which is clearly in dire need of a bit of quality hasn't been strengthened, no replacement's have been brought in for Armstrong or Roberts..

 

Answer that at end of window when all we probably have is Edouard , with Armstrong Roberts and Boyata gone not expecting anything else after all theyre known for it and Cl yet to be decided , just forgetting all the other money weve raked in though .

 

Inknow, which is my point. We brought him in saying that he had full autonomy. Now it’s changed, power creep from Peter Lawwell now that Desmond’s not peering over his shoulder as closesly as he was after Ronny?

Who knows. it’s been a complete change from what was originally said.

 

Where are those reports ?

 

You don’t know that.

 

To be honest, I would class Ntcham as a steal at £4m.

Players are worth what clubs offer. Hence why Morelas is worth zip all.

 

Didn’t Fletcher only score 3 goals the rest of that season?

He was never good enough for us. Bizarre why some people constantly bring him up as if we missed out on some great talent.
