Drew Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 1 minute ago, TPAFKA Jersey 2 said: Yeah but brinkmanship usually only pays off if you are in remotely the same ballpark. Surely if Forest come back with something like £1m, Hibs will just tell them to do one. Hibs aren't in any rush to sell are they? I don't believe they need £1m that desperately. Aye, I agree that Hibs will chase them. I'm not sure that Notts would jump from £750K to, say, £2M, which is what I reckon Hibs would be looking for at the very least.

I'm guessing Notts won't up their bid by a great deal on the basis that they reckon Hibs might blink first. Notts are County....Forest are Nottingham.

I saw plenty of Jackson Irvine with both Ross County and Killie to suggest that he's nowhere near as good as McGinn. But then, you don't have to be that good to attract a 7 figure fee between two English clubs anymore. It's just Scottish clubs they can insult with shite bids.

We don't need to sell but he is in the last year of his contract so there will be a tipping point at which the board have a big decision to make. To turn down £250K or whatever was a pretty brave move but one to be applauded given that he could genuinely be the difference between promotion and not this season IMO. If a bid came in for say £400K it might be very difficult to turn down. Guess it also depends on what the development fee would be if he leaves under freedom of contract.
