    This.

    Was doing very very well at Hibs, although it's a different story when you actually get a player in and you see first hand what you cannot from scouts at a game/highlight reels etc - attitude, training, the individual.

    I'm not saying Allan is a pretentious wee * or anything, but he may not be training well, or his style of play may not just fit into Brendan's preferred system/style.

    If he goes, that'll be our two most immobile players nearing the exit door - with Commons probably likely to follow suit.

    I think you are exaggerating how lazy he is, to be honest.

    I actually think he has worked hard anytime he has been given a chance. I'd rather him being slightly less energetic than Armstrong for example because he has more class on the ball and the ability to pick a final pass.

    For all of Armstrong's energy he is poor on the ball. People say the same about Rogic, he is too slow, unfit etc.

    At the end of the day I'd rather him once again as he has the ability to open up teams. Put him in a midfield 3 with 2 other more energetic players and it isn't as big of a worry. At home domestically as well when teams sit in we need players like that.

    "Scott will definitely stay," said Rodgers. "I really like what I’ve seen with him. It’s trying to give him good tactical understanding of the game. He is mobile, he can run and he can press. Hopefully this can be a good season for him," he added.

    Would of liked to have seen more of him in the hoops, tidy little player but BR must not fancy him and we do need to get rid of players, so good luck Allan..

    Technically one of our better players. I'd start him over Armstrong, 100%.

    Never listen to anything a player or manager says though, they all talk pish and always have. As you are never going to get the truth out them.

    We'll likely never see the day when a manager is asked "what do you think losing 3-0 to Motherwell today" and them saying "Its an absolute disgrace, the players were terrible, a few have played their last games, its not just getting pumped but to get pumped off Motherwell who are a terrible side is even worse"

    Or "Is Amido Balde going to get a chance soon", Manager: "Listen, we thought Amido may be good but the guys rank rotten, he canny control a ball even in a training session he will be punted at the first oppertunity if someones daft enough to sign him".

    Every manager and player always gives the same answers to everything "Hes training well and will get a chance", "We want to keep him", "It was a poor pefromance but credit to X team, they played well", "We are disappointed but we will come back stronger", "X club are a fantastic club and of course I want to stay" blah blah

    Not happy....honestly think there's a great player there and hasn't had a proper chance...thought this would have been his season under new management...had great eye for passing the ball into great areas.....far better than Armstrong will be

    We don't actually know it is Allan for certain yet, in fairness. All going off of a PTT tweet.

    Could be Henderson.

    How do you know? Not disputing just interested to know for certain.

    Stubbs has worked with both after all.

    Its likely he will go though, same for Commons and Henderson will probably be loaned out again.

    Unless Rogic and Johansen are sold which may happen as their contracts are running out.

    Currently Brown, Bitton, Rogic, Armstrong, McGregor and Johansen would be the first choice players for 3 positions as theyve played the most. Then theres Henderson, Allan and Ajer of whom Ajer is likely to be kept as hes 18 just moved here and would be better to let him settle than loan him out.

    It's Allan's decision.


    Lennon still wants Henderson at Hibs.

    I'd like to see Henderson move to a side down South for a year. A League One side would be more challenging week-to-week than playing for Hibs in the Championship.

    Agree about Henderson.

    We know what he can do in the Championship. Time to step it up a gear.

    A move to Rotherham would be good for him too.
