Sam Stanton - Contract

[DownInAlbion]

Heard today that a 4 year contract has been agreed, hope to god its true!

:tbgwa:

[Ozyhibby]

Good news.

[Sir David Gray]

Great news if true.

He's been one of the only positives to take out of this season and I'm looking forward to seeing him flourish next season with (hopefully) a better team surrounding him.

[Scouse Hibee]

Has already shown potential so good to see him tied up if he does actually sign, he may well turn out to be a player worth his weight.

[Aldo]

Hopefully true and it's well deserved.

[gorgie greens]

Best news of the week.

[GreenLake]

Exciting prospect with a lot more to come. Glad he is signing for longer.

[GreenArmyyy!]

Would be excellent news if true!

[KingFranck]

I'd just be happy to see him sign,tied up? He'd still be the best player at ER even if he was :)

[Hibby Gav]

At last some positive news...the first of lots hopefully :thumbsup:

[smurf]

Fantastic news. A top prospect. Let's hope in the summer we get in other good players to complement him...

[Alex Trager]

Superb news

[ALF TUPPER]

Congratulations Sam. Very pleased for you and for Us.

Good job Hibees. First of many signings hopefully.

[marinello59]

Nice one.,this is really good news.:thumbsup:

[The_Todd]

A bright spot in a long, dark season. Excellent.

[Craig_in_Prague]

I hope he can develop in a better team next season.

[KeithTheHibby]

Great news. One of the shining lights in what has been an atrocious season.

[Lester B]

Very good news indeed.

Bumped into Sam last week, he lives in the same street as my mum, and as I hadn't seen him in a while offered my congrats about his first team breakthrough. You won't find a more modest, grounded and charming young man. We've seen so much promise in young players in the last ten years and for various unfortunate reasons they haven't fulfilled their potential. I think Sammy will. He's already a very good player and with the work he puts in to develop his undoubted talent he will become a great one.

[spike220]

Great news!!!!!!!!!!!!! :thumbsup:

[Ronniekirk]

A bright spot in a long, dark season. Excellent.
Yep maybe the club can now build on positives with more fan initiates to be announced and under 20 s fight for league . let's start talking the club up again and get a feel good factor going for these last five games to get us over the line and then we can look forward to building for another Season in top flight and hopefully top four place while hearts slug it out in the lower league. GGTTH :flag:

[Pretty Boy]

Great news.

4 years is a good deal as it either gurantess us good money in a couple of years or we get 4 good seasons from him.

He is 100% the real deal imo.

[matty_f]

Fantastic news. A top prospect. Let's hope in the summer we get in other good players to complement him...

:agree: He needs players around him that will develop him rather than hinder him.

Good news that he's signed though, he's definitely grown into his staying place as the season has progressed.

[flash]

By far the most important news this week. Maybe now we can build a team to actually beat Hertz rather than sit in front of PCs knocking one out because they might die.

[ekhibee]

Yep, really good young player who's shown already what kind of talent he has and I'm sure there's plenty more to come. Next season will be a big season for him with the chance to improve his skills with hopefully better players.

Seems Mr Petrie knows what he's doing after all.

Talk is cheap, I'm not getting my hopes up until Butcher is out and Hibs play well on the pitch.

Wrong thread I think. :greengrin
There's a genuine cause for celebration on this one though:thumbsup:

Do you view the two as Mutually compatible . :confused:

[steviehibsleith]

Great news a proper footballer who will improve and be a starting midfielder for us next season. Positives like this will hopefully improve confidence in the dressing room for the last few games.

[Vault Boy]

Brilliant news, a lot more to come from Sam. :thumbsup:

Great to see Harris and Stanton signed up long term, well done Hibs.

Superb Sam :top marks

[PeeJay]

Stanton's 4-year contract is good news indeed - he's a fine player, one with lots of potential, it will be interesting to see how he develops, hope he does his bit and we - as a club - do our bit in making him better ...

[TheOneWhoKnocks]

Glad he managed to get it all tied up. A lot to come from him in the next few years, massive talent and a brilliant lad.

[bookert]

Best news we have had for a while.:thumbsup:

[jacomo]

Oops too late - apparently Rod's sacked him.

:wink:

[Scott Allan Key]

Lots to look forward to next season I hope of we get our team in early.

[J-C]

Well done young Sam, one of the few shining lights in this dismal season. :thumbsup:

[rcarter1]

Positive news! :thumbsup:

[SMAXXA]

Thankfully some good news for a change, well done Sammy

[HFC07]

Excellent News, really like Wee Stanton. :flag:

What does it say about McPakes back? Is it ****ed again?

[Steven_Hibs]

What does it say about McPakes back? Is it ****ed again?

:greengrin

Butcher kicked his back :greengrin

[Steven_Hibs]

Good news though, Stanton is the only light in a very dark season. Hope this kicks him on rather than fading away! Like a few have said, needs better players around him

[eggbamyasi]

Soon as I sent that expected reply lol :-)

[Greencore]

Great news ! We should really build a team around Sammy next season. then in a few years make him captain. Its vital that we do not rush his development as with Harris. Imagine a decent goal scorer and another centre mid with Sammy in the team, oh boy..

[Waxy]

What something to celebrate? Not sure i feel right.
Well done Hibs.

[dave62]

Excellent news. Well pleased.

[lord bunberry]

A great bit of business, he is the driving force in the current hibs team, with a bit of luck we can get Harris back on form along with a few talented players around him.

[Bronson]

As good as, if not better than any signing we'll make in the summer. 4 year deal is superb business IMO.

[Makaveli]

I'm surprised and delighted it's as many as four years. Good lad. :agree:

[southsider]

He seems i nice kid with real ability but he should spend some time in the summer down the gym and add a wee bit of muscle. Do that and he will be even better next season. Well done Sam, good stuff.

[Borderhibbie76]

Great news that we have tied down our 3 brightest prospects on deals in last few months...Harris, Forster and now Sammy!! Hopefully the sign of better times ahead :)

something positive , have i come to the right place :confused:

good news , glad we got it sorted

[ancient hibee]

That guy Petrie sure knows what he's doing.

[paul_hfc3]

Brilliant! Great signing. Well done Hibs!!!!

[IWasThere2016]

Yes. Swansea I think you said.

I did.

not sure he needs to much beefed up as he can ride a tackle and can take a bump as well mind the game were he got smacked running into the box , think it was the motherwell game.

[Eyrie]

Feels like the first good news in a while from Easter Road, but delighted that he's signed long term.

[GreenOnions]

Great news. He's clearly got a lot of talent and I really enjoy watching him play.

[Jonnyboy]

Fantastic news having a Stanton in the side again :greengrin
