Unfortunately the reality is we are not going to get for him what we should...
There is no evidence for that, just opinion. I have a different one.

It would need to be three million plus and Hendo, but why would we swap when their is already a bid on the table for Hendo, as per message to you and others at the beginning of the window both parties as in us and Hendo and his repisentives also want this, it's just the Smellies playing hard ball, although their demands will drop closer to the window closing.
Lennon says 5 at least, 3 plus Henderson is ripping us off?
You've already told us we're signing Liam, there's no way we're using 2mil
So, is he signing? Cause John isn't leaving.
I was pointing out to [MENTION=2693]Smurf[/MENTION] that we wouldn't accept less than he thinks, the deal for Hendo was on the table, himself and his representatives want this to happen, although for the moment it won't unless they reduce their price. I think SJM will leave but not to Celtic, he fancies it in England and if the valuation is met then he will be away mate.
It won't be met.
So it's not a done deal?
Forest got 15 million for a striker recently, if they are serious then 5 million won't be too much for them.
Not so sure it's quite as simple as that. Forest got £14m for Assombalonga from Boro but although being out of a transfer embargo situation the club still have some restrictions on spending of some kind due to the Financial Fair Play rules. They'll be looking to be careful with their spending.
I don't think SuperJ will go.
If the Smellies can't cut a deal for Hendo with some club down south then they might take our cash on the last day before the window 'slams shut'.
If the Warbmeister wasn't such a thick **** he'd go for Hendo, and get him for half a million.
Agree with your last sentence ... me too.I don't think McGinn will go either, stand to be corrected. My feeling is that Hibs have always strategised to let Jason go and keep Super John. It's not as simple as that of course but while ever a thick, naive $#@! like Warburton is the main threat to sign him I think we're on safe ground.
I also trust the club...though I know it's unfashionable.

I probably don't. I think LD is professional and ambitious, which is fine, but I'm also think if an offer came along that she deemed an upgrade she'd be off. Rod is tending to Farmers investment and doing a good job. So I accept they're doing their jobs to the best of their abilities, but I'm under no illusion the reasons behind it.
And if that makes me fashionable, it's for the first time in my life.
It didn't appear that way before the recent group of signings did it.
I had no faith in this board at all during the start of this window. Loan signings galore last season, not strengthening during the January window and then losing Jase. I wasn't pissing and moaning for the sake of it, I was genuinely concerned.
Emergency loans for Commons and Ambrose. Thank Sauzee we could.
Other than that, Shinnie for a season.
We cant actually do the emergency loan thing this year anyway - you do know that? :dunno:
As for January windows, next to nothing gets done by anyone in those windows, certainly not very much that is meaningful.
I'm not sure where Liam would fit in at present - McGinn, McGeouch, Slivka & Bartley would all be ahead of him in central midfield. Boyle is first choice out wide, while the other two attacking midfielders Swanson & Barker have only arrived this summer...
He's a good young player but I don't think we need to be spending money on another midfielder at this time, especially one who wouldn't be guaranteed a starting place.
This outlook that's being expressed by a fairly significant vocal minority amazes me. He played in the majority of the games when on loan to us. And rightly our support loved his talent and passion in a green jersey when he played every minute demonstrating that every minute mattered to him even as just a loanee.
It's amazing how this myth has been generated that he wasn't actually that good hence why he was only a sub in that marvellous May day 2016. And furthermore let's remember and be thankful for his deliveries but he's now not needed...
We are Hibs and we will NEVER have enough good players. And in particular players like Henderson who plays with such heart, passion and spirit. The boy is a class act. I will be more excited by signing him than ANY player we've ever signed. Please let it happen.
Kenny Millar suggesting Hibs are in negotiations....
It read like a loan deal which is a pity if true.

That would be madness. His contract expires next year and a deal till Christmas is worse than fuck all!
According to KM it's a permanent Hibs want.

Hearing this will be done. £250k, 3 year deal.
Might be triangulation of the same sources..... Seems fairly sure.

I am with you Kenny, if Hibs keep SJM and sign Liam, I would consider it the perfect last day of the window.
Not really.
If it is a loan, doubtful, thateans he's already in direct contact with us when precontract comes around, it means he gets to perform and remember how wonderful it must be playing infront of a Hibs crowd that's on your side.
A loan deal would work for us.
But we're better off with a permanent deal at this point.
Great news if true.
