Celtic board have played the Mcginn saga right in my eyes.
Because of Rob Petrie hartred of lawell he was never going to sell to us unless he had no option.
He has let Mcginn talk to villa without agreeing a fee and rumours he is ready to accept just over 2 million with add ons but demanded 4 million from us after changing the price twice.
From now on we should never loan his another player.
In fact we should loan players to the teams around them to hurt them.

And that is good how? Don’t you think he is worth more than £2m? Don’t you think he’s a natural successor to Brown? It’s a long term disastrous position if we don’t sign him. I can’t belueve we are going to miss out for a million quid for a player who will be great for us and who a season from now we will never be able to afford. If it happens Lawell is in the dock for this.

Let him go to Villa, lack of ambition cause there a mid level championship team with a hopeless manager
Celtic have handled this correctly imo.

Naw magic I don't think he's worth much more than 2 million to be honest.
And truth be told no one know if he will be the successor to Brown.
And we ain't missing out on him for a million if Rod Petrie is going to sell for 2.1
Do you think Celtic should pay 4 million when other teams are being asked to pay HALF that amount?
Lawell is bang on here.

Kev how do you know this av, been following this and av yet to see a price quoted for English clubs, if we miss out he will go to another big English club for funny money, and we will be kicking ourselves totally convinced of this seen it too often.

I don't know it mally. I just seen few rumours and got a couple texts about it.
That's why I put rumours just over 2.

Petrie won't get the better of PL if McGinn refuses to go anywhere other than Celtic. Petrie is not in control of this situation at all, he may think he is but it could backfire dramatically on him, and his entire club in future.

The fact mcginn has took the time to go to Birmingham worries me Bruce comes across a decent guy may sweet talk him.

Your bang on there stan. It will have a effect. Over the last few seasons Celtic have loaned a few players that helped hibs have some success but that will surely stop after this.
07 Aug 2018 15:17:54
Hold on a minute! Villa have there own set of problems
NO FEE has been agreed between Hibs and Villa once a fee is established it will be for his agent to discuss also with Celtic
Let's not be arguing over something that has yet to unfold (Y)

Kev i read recently Lenny, Dempsey and others are furious with Petrie. They know this will damage their clubs chances of getting any of our players in future. Where we might have been once easy to deal with we will quite rightly tell the wee runt to beat it. I would love it if McGinn holds out for Celtic move now. Petrie is to the Hibees what the pie man Robinson was to the Jambos.

IF they have accepted 2m from Villa but want 4m from us then F 'em. If that's the case I would love John to hold out and join us for nowt. Wouldn't solve the issue of us needing a CM now though.
07 Aug 2018 17:00:44
McGinn is a bargain for anybody at 4million.
07 Aug 2018 17:51:22
Not if he's going to villa for less aindoh
Plus do you really think he's worth around the same money as ntcham?
