    Contracts

    Been thinking about this the last few days and I don't know if we should be alarmed, content, annoyed, surprised or whatever that we have a hell of a lot of players yet to commit themselves to the future at the club. Part of me is fine with it but there's another part that's saying I'd expect players to have committed by now given disxusssions started in December time.

    I honestly expected a drip feed of signings by now but nothing so far. Is it player power holding out for better deals collectively, I have no idea it could be anything. I know hibs have said they are relaxed about it but I'm personally not, no disrespect but there are players in the squad that I'd have thought would have bit their hand off to be part of a premiership hibs team but no seen as much so far. I know there are so many variables etc but I'm genuinely at the stage where I am a bit nervous.

    Club should force their hand and get a decision either way to allow us to plan more effectively if players are to move on.

    Even with the Forster captain which is probably nothing but when your club captain and other more suitable candidates are in the team but are thus said out of contract I wonder if this is Lennon sending out a message, as I said maybe not but maybe so also.

    Anyway get them contracts signed ya money grabbing bassas 😜

    I think we'll be fine. I seem to remember the last couple of summers a few of the out of contract players didn't re-sign until a couple of weeks after the season has ended.

    The players out of contracts will generally struggle to get bigger clubs. Lennon has said that most were already on decent money. But if we were to reverse your argument and ask how many have signed for other clubs? I'm confident that we will keep the ones Lenny wants and bring in others to supplement the squad.

    Smaxxa, I seem to remember you having some contacts or friends with contacts at the club, is that still the case or have I got you missed up with someone else?

    If you still do, do you know if there are players that Hibs don't want to keep or if there are players that are looking at others offers?

    I agree with the OP am.a wee bit nervous about this tbh...I thought the likes of McGregor, Stevenson, Boyle and Gray in particular would have signed in the dotted line straight away...but lennon seems relaxed about it so I guess in him and LD we trust

    I'm not too worried about this... We really need to move 6-7 of the squad on anyway. To allow a couple of the youngsters to get more game time, and to allow us to bring in some more quality...
