Good source tells me there's an eery atmosphere around the DFC training ground after there was a wee bust-up between Luke and the manager. Obviously just going off what I was told so can't guarantee this 100% but it makes you wonder. This will be in the Sun tomorrow and some people will be calling it a fact..................... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's just the ghost of Bobby Cox, often appears when the club are about to do something amusing like tell Hibs to go spin. Anyway surprised you have time to hang around our training ground chatting to the groundsmen given Cove are full time now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it seems too far-fetched to suggest that a prospective buying team would leak it to the papers to try and unsettle the player and force a move through. Wouldn't surprise me if it did come from the agent, mind you, to try and drum up as much interest as possible. You're right, it has been a circus. Mostly because Hibs are wasting our time with derisory offers. I would guess all the press speculation and bid information will be fueled by McNamara, the higher the bid the bigger his fee will be, it's in his interest to have Celtic named even if they are not after Luke in the hope that Hibs make a higher bid. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Der Panzer Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Are Hibs a bigger club than Dundee - YES. Are Hibs a step down from Dundee at the moment - YES Are Hibs an attractive prospect for Cool Hand Luke - NO If I was Luke McCowan and the only offer I was getting was Hibs I’d stay at Dens and run my contract down - that £750k plus transfer fee disappears and can translate to a bigger wage and larger signing on fee at the multitude of clubs who will be interested when the pay barrier disappears. The only type of move I’d be jumping to now if I was Cowser would be an old firm or an English Championship side chucking around 5 figure weekly salaries. He deserves a move and he deserves a move that will set him up for life. Hibs would be a stepping stone for him - but at his age he’s not got many stones left. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure about that last bit, if Hibs think Celtic are involved then Hibs will just walk away and sign somebody else. If it turns out Celtic aren't interested then McCowan likely stays, leaves for free and McNamara doesn't get a cut of any transfer fee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Nelms runs onto the pitch and hands McCowan a five-year contract which he signs immediately. Can't wait! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peadar BigDinnerO'Driscoll Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Do Ayr get a sell-on fee? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RossBFaeDundee Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 2 minutes ago, Peadar BigDinnerO'Driscoll said: Do Ayr get a sell-on fee? We signed Luke on a free, his contract at Ayr had just finished. They'll be presumably due the entirety of a solidarity payment though, which is roughly 5% spread out between senior teams that develop players until they're 21. If we got a million, they'd get about 50 grand of that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebles_Dee Posted August 15 Share Posted August 15 Carson Ingram Portales McGhee Koumeito Sylla Robertson McCowan Palmer-Houlden Murray Tiff My team for the Airdrie. I’d look to get Astley and Ziyad on if we go a few goals up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's not away this window unless a club pays what we want, so far that hasn't happened so it's carry on as normal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
