Bohemian Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 (edited) Not exactly Hibs related but we can all relax, Liam is not joining Hearts moneyball revolution LiamHenderson is ready to turn down a return to Britain as he looks to continue his Italian adventure with a dream move to Serie A. The former Celtic youngster is officially a free agent after former club Bari’s financial collapse earlier this week. Now teams from Italy’s top flight are chasing the ex-Rosenborg and Hibernian loanee’s signature. Fiorentina, Parma and Bologna are among the clubs who have already been in touch with the 22-year-old’s representatives. And Seria B outfit Hellas Verona – who have recently appointed Italian World Cup winner and Henderson’s former boss at Bari Fabio Grosso as their new manager – are also keen to land the playmaker. A number of clubs from the UK have also been in contact, but SportTimes understands Henderson has made it clear he sees his future in Italy, where he feels his style of play is more suited. The Hoops academy graduate joined Bari for £175,000 in January after being left frustrated by his lack of first-team opportunities under Parkhead boss Brendan Rodgers. He made an immediate impact, helping the Biancorossi to the Serie B play-offs. He was set to make Bari a quick profit, with Fiorentina reported to be preparing a £2million bid, but now they may be set to land him for free. Just six months and 19 appearances into a three-and-a-half-year deal, Henderson’s time at Bari is up. They are set to be declared bankrupt after missing the deadline to register for Serie B amid reports of financial difficulties. But the reception Henderson received from the Bari support - who dubbed him ‘the Braveheart with Brazilian feet’ - have convinced him that his future remains in Italy and he is likely to snub attempts to lure him back to Britain.

JamesM82 Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 McGinn was on the plane to the Faroe Islands last night. Apparently if he plays on Thursday he wouldn't be able to play in CL qualification for Celtic. Murray and Hanlon (minor injury) didn't travel. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was McGinn bundled up the stairs with a black hood over his head and a pistol jabbing in between his shoulder blades ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, as a football club we gave that up after the Good Friday Agreement. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure we’ll have most of our transfers done for the start of the league season but it’s not looking ideal for Europe. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but I’m still expecting Continuity Hibs to have him trussed up and chucked out of a fast moving car, into the centre circle 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’ve got a couple of boys on the verge of regular first team football but not enough to fill the void left by all the players we’ve lost from last season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair fucks to the laddie. Excellent player who has broadened his horizons instead of taking the easy money and league cup medal with Celtic. When he comes back to the UK in a few seasons, he'll be plying his trade in the EPL. Can't believe he hasn't been called up to the Scotland squad either. Probably sums up everything that's wrong with our national side. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Must have a good YouTube showreel His goals to games ratio last season was good and total goals 16 decent on paper. However, break it down and 8 lc goals were really early season and 7 of his 8 league goals were against teams that finished well below us in the league. Looked pish in the friendly v Linlithgo and first leg v Faroes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominique Malonga Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Started on fire for us although the opposition in the Betfred Cup was obviously not the best. He did do a job though, and his goals against Hertz and the **** will live long in the memory.Ultimately, he just wasn’t good enough for a top end Scottish Premiership side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
