We could be looking to replace McGeoch, McGinn and have Allan back at Celtic ! A better scenario is that we keep DM and SA (all assunme McGinn offski). Need strikers too, as both current first picks are loanees. In general, defence has been good, might need additional cover at full back. So, its going to be an interesting summer ! I'm not sure McGinn will be off in the summer. English clubs really don't seem to rate Scottish league players nowadays, at least not to the extent of paying much for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Green Day Posted March 19, 2018 Share Posted March 19, 2018 Is McGinn out of contract at the end of the season ? Nope, but then entering last year, so don't want to lose him for nothing. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They allegedly turned down £1.5M from Nottingham Forest (when managed by Warbiola) last August. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4838680/Hibernian-reject-1-5m-bid-Forest-John-McGinn.html Complicating factor in any deal for McGinn is that St Mirren are allegedly due ~30%. My thinking with McGinn is that if English clubs were struggling to offer £1.5M for him last summer, they're hardly likely to offer that much (or more) when he only has a year left on his contract. Equally, it's hardly worth Hibs' while to sell him for less than that, particularly when they would have to hand over a big chunk of it to St Mirren. So I could see him running his contract down ala Kenny McLean. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see enough of the guy to put a valuation on him, but I have a few mates who have seen him play around 50 games in total who say he should be in the £3-4 million bracket, but as you say English clubs seem to have a ceiling price of £1.5 million for any targets playing in Scotland, Hibs need to ensure they secure a 20-30% sell on clause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zing. Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Paul Hanlon has signed a new four year deal. Delighted with that. His sexy Scott Allan styled reverse shroo ball on Tuesday night must have sealed it for him. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Stubbs Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 That is sensational news. Looks like we're in for a bit of a rebuild job soon but with Hanlon in his prime and McGregor/Porteous at perfect ages to gradually hand over that role, we've got a very solid base to build on for the next few years. Im pleasantly surprised that nobody (other than Aberdeen) has been linked with him. He's absolutely strolled it this year and in cup games v Prem teams the year before. Now that he's consistently adding the attacking side to his game as part of a back three, he looks even better. Feels like he's too good to be signing four year deals with us tbh. I'm not complaining though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Widge Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Can’t imagine him or Lewis ever turning out for another team. Almost 300 league appearances for Hibs before the age of 30 is pretty good going for sure. Plus 2 for saints when he was 19. What’s Hibs record appearance holder, I’d imagine Stevenson will always surpass Hanlons total though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Grass Is Greener. Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hanlon has come a long way from the “shanlon” days. He’s a good Prem CB now. Might have something to do with having a decent partner back there recently. He’s had some proper shite play next to him. Happy with the new contract. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crawford Bridge Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 Hanlon has played like an old fashioned libero this season, getting involved up the park against park the bus shite like Hearts and Hamilton. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Widge Posted April 7, 2018 Share Posted April 7, 2018 I think he played three games for us. Two league games and a cup loss against Rangers. Note the word “league” in my statement. Haven’t counted cup games for Hibs either. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
