The thread for all the gossip for the summer of 2024. Someone with more time than me, I would appreciate if you could pull together a list of who's contract is up this summer, employees and loanees, who we keep regardless of contract terms and then who do you all think we should be looking at?

I will start with a few in's....

Jason Kerr at Wigan

Shaun Rooney at Fleetwood

Liam Kelly at Motherwell

Josh Nisbet at Central Coast Mariners

Outs, well by Sauzee we have a few duffers, including some McKirdy, Kenneh, Harbottle, Tait, McKay, Henderson, JDH and Delfierrie (sp?)

I will suggest my outs once I see a list of the clingers on we have in that massive squad of ours.

Plenty kits still for sale in the shop, no much else though unless you are 20+ stone or awfy thin.

Thoughts?

Thoughts? Eat less you fatties and eat more you skinny’s .
 
Exercise caution-Simon Murray and Gogic playing well for others and Dabrowski MOM last night with great saves

The sort of players we let go because they aren't good enough for Hibs but never replaced them with players who are good enough for Hibs.

I'd hope we've learned from this but doubt we have.

Just back from the club shop?

I think we need a new improved club shop n all.
 
I do agree, he was a bit of a dick when he left and never looked fully committed to Hibs. Kinda forgotten about that. At 28, he'd probably see his career out if he did sign.
He was a dick at the pars, trying to get a move, same at Hibs.

Can't blame him for trying to get the best from his career and talent...... but a bit of a dick nonetheless.

I understand his dad passed, but ......

Still.

A bit.
 
It’s all a bit romantic but maybe it’s the way forward, but,
I would get rid of all the managers and coaches, then keep Lewis and Hanlon on a playing coaching basis.
And have Eddie May, Daz and SDG as our managers/ assistant managers.
Then we would have a basis to work on a project , to bring on youth who knew what is expected at out club, and who knew what a privilege it was to do so . And any players brought in , would get the message that all that is asked is you 100% everyday at training and match days. Get people in who want to be there . Nobody is chained to the door, if you’re not happy , then go, find somewhere better. Because good luck with that one.
I really believe the fans would get on board with a bunch of coaches which we know, get Hibs , and understand the fan’s expectations. Then we would have a basis of a few years where we could build what we want. We would put up with down times without screaming for another change, IF we could see progress , 100% effort , and a team which appreciated the privilege they have been given.
The difference in our league between finishing 3rd or the bottom 6 , is not that hard to do really, if you get a couple of decent players and them back them up with good players with the correct attitudes, and that is down to how you manage them .
We have people at our club who I believe could do all that, sometimes the answer is so obvious in your face you can’t see it .
Just get it right Hibs. For once , just get it right.

I'm the complete opposite and no doubt get slated, but I want all included out the club and start a fresh. Some of those have seen us relegated twice. A captain that has seen us go down twice and has talked about the Derby as "just another game" I don't want that mentality anywhere around the club, or youth players. Not bashing the players, all good servants to the club, but mentality wise, we need to be a LOT more ruthless..
 
I’d be looking at James Forrest. No much game time at the Smellies now. Why no?
I noticed he got subbed on, scored and then subbed off with 119 minutes played so Celtc could bring on another defender... Sheep scored a minute later:gigglle:

Once, Shirley? Not sure Hanlon and Stevenson can be blamed for the 1998 relegation!
 
Honestly I've no love really for any of them. Lewis Stevenson & Paul Hanlon are two absolute greats. Proper Hibernian legends on and off the park who will no doubt leave this summer. I feel Nick Montgomery has not used Paul Hanlon properly whatsoever. That better managers in our league wanted Paul tells a story. I hope Lewis Stevenson gets to 600 but Jair has probably more chance of game time.

I've respect for the likes of Marshall (needs to go though), Obita (decent first season), Cadden (you feel he feels honoured to be at our club and I like that), Newell (underrated and you can tell he desperately wants to be successful at Hibs) & Boyle (sadly he looks a shadow of who he was so not one we can any longer look at as a first team automatic starter..) but apart from that I honestly I have no feeling for any of them.

I'm impressed by the two January permanent signings in Nathan Moriah Welsh (what we've needed) & Luke Amos (unlucky with injury but looked a player. I'm hoping he's not though injury prone like JDH).

If possible I'd not be averse to trying to somehow extend Myziane Maolida (boy is a player), Nectar Triantis (He has something but bizzarely was Nick Montgomery's top target for defence??!!), Emiliano Marcondes (Top player who needs better around him) and Will Fish (Needs better around him and a proper defender to partner him).

Looking at the lists though we've far too many average players still under contract. I mean FFS that imposter JDH will still be hanging around the treatment table... Somehow we need to offload the majority. It likely won't be cheap.

Too much quantity and not enough quality. For how many years have we been saying that?

Fuckin hell lol. It’s no half piled up!
 
Keeps for me - I’ll no bother with loan players as that will not be up to Hibs and I doubt we will hang on to.

Mariah Carey
Vente
Levitt - controversial I know but I’m hopeful there is still a playmaker in there who has been used wastefully
Obita
Newell
Amos
Cadden

Boyle but I wouldn’t extend. My favourite player in a long long time, but sadly he is done.

Don’t know enough about the young lads on the cusp so no comment on them.

Imho we basically need a whole new defence. You can make cases for individuals on their day but it’s not working and hasn’t for a long time. Maybe keep Miller but I wouldn’t be angsting about it.
 
Jake Doyle Hayes - leave
Joe Newell - stay
Chris Cadden - stay
Rocky Bushiri - stay

Harry McKirdy - leave
Nohan Kenneh - leave

Kanayo Megwa - stay
Murray Aiken - not sure
Ewan Henderson (Oostende have option to buy him at end of this season) - leave
Daniel MacKay (Livingston have option to buy him at end of this season) - leave
 
I would keep Obita, Vente, Myziane if possible, ALF, & Cadden. We have Moriah Welsh. I would put Marshall as goal keeping coach, we need another keeper, defence especially centre backs, build or midfield around Moriah Welsh,

Keeper, I like the keeper at St Mirren. Captain Kerr, Mayo at Killie, O’Hara in the midfield with Moriah Welsh and Allan Campbell is the holding midfielder. Either Armstrong from Killie on the wing or Luke McGowan from Dundee. The boy from St Johnstone Adama Sidibeh as our new number 10.

Would sell, Newell, Campbell, Boyle, Youan, and anyone else who would bring in funds.
 
I like Lyle Cameron at Dundee.
He was on loan at Peterhead along with Flynn Duffy.
Duffy was the one who looked better prepared for the first team at Dundee( they were championship).
Cameron has stepped up and looks like good SPL player.
Duffy is back on loan at PD.
The vagaries of football.

I've added the one player missing from the list, Murray Johnson who is contacted until 2027 and added to the Fish entry
 
Mates a Falkirk fan they are desperate to keep Dylan Tait
To be fair he should be like Pele in the 3rd tier with 150 senior games under his belt.

However, Hibs have all but run out of time with Tait. He's 22 and his contract is up in 13 months time.
I don't see Hibs extending his contract by a year in the hope he can be sold on next summer.

He's probably a decent Championship player and could go on to play for a bottom 6 team in the top league but probably won't go higher.
Saying that, I don't have any credible opinions given he has only played 1 competitive game in a Hibs jersey.
As things stand I can't see us getting even £50k for him and certainly not from Falkirk who don't have money for transfer fees. Could see him moving this summer to Falkirk or Raith Rovers on a free with a sell on clause. Think that's the best we can do.

Can you imagine it on here if Montgomery did that?!
Bad enough what he has done... but if he did that
