Retained Players

No surprises there.

The four loanees did very little if anything to enhance the quality of the Hibs first team in the time they were at Hibs, so I won't be losing any sleep over their departures.
Barlaser will be out of contract in few weeks, but he'd be better off trying to find a club in the lower leagues down south.
Loans should should only be for players who are clearly a level above what we can afford and are fit and suited to scottish football.

Sorry to see Cleland, McMurdo and Calder leaving the youth academy...all three looked very good at that level but the youth coaches clearly don't see them being Hibs first teamers in the future. It's a ruthless business. I hope all three go on to have decent careers in the game.

Its much of nothing really, those loans have ended, contracts have ended and anyone still under contract is still here.

Hope to see a fair few changes.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Johnson, Manneh, Chris Cadden all leave.
I'd like to see MacIntyre and Molotnikov this season coming. But could see them both leave?
Maybe Smith?
Klidje is up in the air for me, I think he could operate out wide, but if we don't change anything are we gonna see him challenging for punts up field again?
Whether he's good enough or not is open to discussion, but if we keep doing what we're doing he's no even got a chance to show anything. Might survive til January.

Hopefully keep McGrath, Elding, Mulligan.

If we do go for the likes of Henderson and/or Kerr we should see movement in defence.
 
Cannae believe Manneh is under contract for two more seasons
He's either shit or Gray has fine what he sends to do and that's shut players out. He did it with Vente, he did it with Klidjé, to an extent he did it with Chaiwa. It's his management style I'd question rather than the players. Manneh didn't look like a world beater perhaps but he hasn't really had a chance to settle in.
