His agent will have the DR and Sun lined up and ready to go with their EXCLUSIVES on poor Kevin and his wish to leave Hibernian for his boyhood heroes. Is there still broken glass on the M8?

Fraser Fyvie Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 St Johnstone playing hardball, kicking out a bid for McCart. Offer another 10% and get him and his agent to put the pressure on. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely they'll just move on to another target as they'll have a job on lowering that price down to one they'll pay? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly trying to weaken their competition for second place this year. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Form tailed off last season but that's maybe to do with taking the hump at not getting a move. I'm all for Hibs rinsing Celtic (or anyone) for £4m btw. Just can't see Celtic paying that. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJF Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 What was the script with Nisbet getting benched for a considerable period during the season? Was he out of form? Or did Ross not take kindly to him handing in a transfer request? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given Birmingham offered £3.2m in January getting £4m now isn’t too unrealistic given he’s broken into the Scotland squad and also scored. I actually do agree though, he’s not worth that kind of money. Went missing for us way too often last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought we were offered similar deals for Nisbet and Cosgrove. I'd imagine the only thing that might not work in your favour was Birmingham's desperation at the time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Other Foot Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 On his Hibs form, I also agree that 4mil is a bit OTT. But I think you have to consider his his future potential too. Would he work well in a young, rebuilt Celtic team? Absolutely I think he would. He's got a good level of consistency, is quite a smart player and will only benefit from a move to a more demanding club...unlike Riordan, for example. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think the Birmingham deal was in all sorts of instalments etc which isn’t quite the same. Nisbet will definitely be away this window so hopefully we maximise what we can get and reinvest some of it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leith Green Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 Celtic were burned a bit with the John McGinn saga. I wonder if the new regime at Parkhead will be a bit more savvy and not simply assume that Scottish clubs are desperate to accept any old shitey bid? I would hope that he ultimately went down south - in a similar way that St J wouldnt want to sell Kerr and McCart to a rival, I wouldnt really want to see Nisbet playing for them either. He could quite probably get more cash down south as well. I also think that players moving to other countries and experiencing different coaching / players is good for the national team. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a weird one. It's well know Kerr is a die-hard Hibee. He'll have dreamt of playing for Hibs, but ambitions to play far above that. A lot of OF fans have ambitions to play and finish their career at their team. It's a bit of a shame. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd imagine Kerr will know he could fail down South and still get his move to Hibs tbh. Wouldn't be shocked to see him rock up at Hibs on a free in 3/4 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When McLean was leaving you had anyone with a loose association to Rangers coming out and say that's the move he'll want. We're seeing it with Lewis Ferguson now. It's happened so often that everyone expects that to be the move these lads make when the obvious best choice for their career is going down south. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
d31 Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 St Johnstone signing a defender yesterday and linked with another today so it does sound like some of the defenders will be off. I would have thought Kerr would be the first to go. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have thought Kerr would be the first to go. We had zero cover for CB last season, and we lost a LWB this Summer. The 3 signings are us re-signing our back up RWB, getting a LWB back up to replace Tanser, then finally getting a CB back up. Wouldn't read a huge amount into it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
