Junior Hoilett

[Donegal Hibby]

Took his goal well and thought he had a good game yesterday . Is he another player worth keeping next season as a squad player ? …

Easy yes for me too

McGrath is out injured at the moment so might need a bit of time getting fully fit or hitting form. Having the option and quality of Hoilett to compete with him is a no brainer for me

Those 2, Rudi and Campbell are 4 very good options for the 10 position for different reasons.

[HendoDelivered]

IMO we’d be silly not to give him another year. He is a maestro.

[PHeffernan]

I didn't think we would give Hoilett another contract given he is 35 in 2 months time but he doesn't have chronic injury issues and he has a level of ability of players that we can't afford so I think it is 55/45 he stays now.
His brilliant goal yesterday came when we were struggling to make chances and the game was won from that point.

[tamig]

I reckon it will depend on what Junior himself wants to do. He may not fancy staying any longer in Scotland.

[Shrekko]

If we get 3rd and he wants to stay on we’d be mad not to.

How do we get anyone else as good?

[Stevie Reid]

I thought he was comfortably our best player during our poor start to the season, and I think he dropped out our starting line up when our form really started to take off.

He was always a handy sub during that spell though, and has really come to prominence again as a starter these last few weeks. Another year is a no brainer for me.

Four league goals in 14 starts from him is a decent return. Just looking and we’ve really spread the goals around the squad this season. 15 players have scored a league goal for us, and eleven have scored more than one.

What a difference having a decent ball player in the number 10 position makes. Should have had an excellent assist to his name yesterday too if his cute near post flick on had fallen to a more competent finisher.

It was a harder chance than the shot Bowie hit at the keeper IMO .

Jeez I keep forgetting we have McGrath on a pre-contract! Really good option.

I would also look to extend Hoilett for another year, won’t play every week but can come in like he did yesterday and make an impact. Won’t mind being more of a bit part player at his age either.

He will if he wants to extend his International Career.

[1875M]

Worth a 1 year extension in my eyes. Good player at this level, and seems like a great pro too. Would be a good squad player, even at his age and brilliant for boys like Rudi to learn from.

[Thatdayinmay16]

With him still being a full Canadian internationalist and with Canada being guaranteed to play in the competition, surely another year would be a very smart piece of business?

We get another year of a excellent footballer/experience/great squad option in Junior before he fly's off and bows out on a remarkable playing career after the world cup? Win-Win Imo.

[Up-the-slope]

we will need options if we get 3rd / Europe (can believe I'm even typing that after season start :greengrin) even more.

He has quality and knows the Manager / players / Club so the integration that seems to take even some good players several months is already done. If he is happy as impact player / one to open defensive sitting sides / a great role model to youngsters then out of the over 30's towards end of career he is a very low risk no brainer for me.

Anyone know if he is a player that fancies coaching / Managing long term? Might be good option to work with McGregor and get his badges while adding a bit there too if he does?

Hope so that would make complete sense. Absolute quality as Saturdays goal showed.

A gem of a footballer, model professional, love the guy.

Absolutely the sort of player and character we want around for next year. Will likely be in and out team. But that’s been how it is for him this season too, and he’s shown his worth. His goals and his movement and clever play is worth its weight.. got to be good for other players in our team to have him around too. Many more pluses than minuses for me.

[Billy Bunter 07]

Be extremely silly not to keep him if the opportunity is there.

[Bobby's Cinema]

Absolutely strolled it today by the way. Confidence and an arrogance about him. Outstanding performance for the hour I thought :aok:

[Shrekko]

Whether it’s for 60 minutes or even 20 minutes we have a player who plays at a high level. Really hope he stays.

He could be so important for European football.

I don’t just mean in terms of squad size but if we have a Luzern type fixture the way he plays and his experience would be worth its weight in gold.

I’d love us to keep him if we can and will be quite gutted if he leaves. Would be very hard to replace him.

[Since452]

Tremendous

[JohnM1875]

He's ****ing class. An unbelievably good footballer and I'd be gutted if he doesn't spend another year here.

[Stevie Reid]

Pretty sure he was described by someone on here as being a bad signing, not so long ago. Seemed mental at the time, even more so now.

Absolutely superb footballer, who is a joy to watch on the ball. Seems to really be enjoying his football and have plenty left to offer in some capacity.

Fingers crossed he’ll hang around.

[21.05.2016]

Would absolutely love to have him for another season. Class act with a lot of experience.

[CapitalGreen]

Deserves a shot in Europe, crazy to think he’s never had the chance.

There’s a number of Wikipedia scouts on here who judge players without having seen them play who saw he was over 30 and immediately wrote him off.

[The Spaceman]

He’s such a tidy and intelligent player who can really dictate the pace. Would definitely keep him for next year if we can - I reckon he’ll stay.

[hibsbollah]

Maestro

[BILLYHIBS]

Said when he signed that he could be a game changer for us

I know Gayle is retiring but I’d keep him if he changed his mind.

So would I his sort of quality is very rare
