Right, okay bud :faf: whatever you say.

You have as little idea as I do. Difference is, I think you are just disagreeing for the sake of it. I'm just pointing out that we seem to be doing better in that area.

You are right we are progressing in the right direction and have done well with Ryan Porteous and Josh Doig amongst others.

We have left it quite late with Marciano but in the case of Newell and Irvine you can't really offer them deals too early as they are just in the door relatively speaking.

Tend to agree with that, other than McGeouch can’t think of any other player who left recently on freedom of contract (happy to be corrected on that one) and the accepted view on here is he was offered a new deal but wouldn’t sign it because of Lennon. We also managed to get Boyle and Cummings to sign new deals when their contracts were close to ending. If a player is viewed by the club as worth keeping I think we make moves to offer them new contracts. As you say some will sign, others such as Rocky will weigh up their options.

Not really. I always try to back my points up with facts and opinions. You haven't done that at all. You argument is essentially ''how do you know we didn't'' then some smart arse posts.

I'm on the side of Blackpoolhibs.
I would be honestly baffled if Hibs have in the past "left it late" to offer contracts.
There is also no proof of this either.

We do seem to be getting more players to re-sign. I think this is either due to that we are now offering more money than in the past or players are more likely to sign a contract early rather than wait to see if there is anything better due to current uncertain economic times.

For example with Marciano. I think the most likely reason is that he thinks he can get a better deal, so is playing the long game.

Hibs will either have offered him something already or won't do it at all.

The only reason they might wait to offer him is if they think they might get a better goalie in.

IMO obviously. :)

There is a middle ground between leaving it late and being pro active. I simply think we have been in that middle ground.

Fair enough.

I think if we were working in that middle ground like you said, that would constitute a massive failing of Hibs.

IMO we might not offer the going rate for a player, but I just don't think we would be daft enough not to get the offer in in plenty time.

Do you think Hibs are doing this as they haven't considered properly the contracts are ending, or that they are trying to second guess the player by offering a contract late? (Or some other reason)

No. But have they went for it and taken a risk. Look at Ian Murray, he was injured for the majority of 2003/04. Were we offering him a deal then, or waiting till he got back fit? Same with McGeouch and Fyvie who had injury issues. Newall and Boyle have both got new deals despite recent issues. And especially with Murray, Porteous and Doig we've been right on top of it.

I don't think Hibs were doing something terribly wrong before, I'm just suggesting we're more proactive now. Maybe thats because we're in a good place to offer deals.

There’s clearly no interest either party but you’re making things up about the boy. I’ve shared a street with his family for 20 years, him and his younger brother delivered my papers. For Hearts fans (and indeed they are) you couldn’t meet nicer lads.

Delighted to hear that.

I thought he was going to be a star for us from the moment I saw him. Some of the criticism he had when he was replaced by Stenson earlier in the season was way over the top, as he's only just broken into the first team and still learning.

Great news, the laddie has improved so much I wouldn't be surprised to see bids for him this summer, giving him more cash and a longer contract keeps him happy and safeguards us when bids do come in, great piece of business, we did the exact same with Porteous when he broke through.

If Aberdeen really are struggling as much as they say they are, then we could find ourselves putting a little distance between the two of us in the next couple of seasons. Not just a very good squad but a consistent one too.

This from Jack Ross in the EEN before the deal was announced.

"With Josh, his deal is for a development squad player and an out and out development squad player at that, but he is now a first team regular and I think it’s important that the club doesn’t take advantage of that. I think that is only appropriate. The contract has to reflect his contribution and that is where we are trying to get to."

That's a huge incentive for our other youngsters.

I'm really impressed with how the club are handling things just now. Jack Ross not only has the confidence and knowledge to play Josh, but also when not to as well. Every time that Lewie has had a spell in the first team Josh has come back a stronger player. Now we're making sure that contracts fairly reflect each players situation, there's literally no reason for a talented young player to feel unhappy at Hibs.

We'll either be able to keep these players for longer or it will take a better offer to take them to another club. There's so much more joined up thinking happening.

Yep, it shows that there's no need to let your head go down if you're left out, especially as a youngster. I've also noticed during interviews how often players are saying that "the manager's been speaking to me all the time", this is regardless whether it's a player on a good run or if it's someone that's been on the sidelines. I really do think that he's an excellent communicator and is a manager in the real sense of the word and not just a first team coach. The difference is huge IMO.

Excellent from Hibs. We are rewarding talent. The money will be a huge bonus for a laddie on a development team wage. Shows the young team that if they do the business, they get the benefits.

Would have been easy for the lad and his agent to have their heads turned by the talk of Cheski, Citeh and Sellickfootballclub, but he's made a sensible decision which should benefit player and club in the future.

Also, love the idea of sticking it to the Glasgow media and Celtic fans who have been pondering whether or not to lift him off Hibs. Now expect to Josh bypass Celtic and going straight to a big club in a few years time, just like SJM.

Have we ever had players in past seasons who have signed extensions to their current contract, or have Hibs deliberately let them run their contracts down and done nothing about it?

Or have the club done what every other club does, and offer contracts to players who we want to keep, and not offer players contracts who we dont?

Feels exactly the same as every season to me, players sign who want to sign, see Newell and Doig, and players who dont want to sign yet, see Rocky, dont.

Simple really.

I dont think all is lost with Rocky yet tbh a couple of weeks ago we all that Joe Newell was leaving and see how that's turned out. Mrs Rocky loves Edinburgh so I'm still fairly optimistic he will stay

I hope so, he's a good keeper, and compared to some of the dross we've had in the past, he's as reliable as i've seen since Leighton and Goram. :pray:

He said a few weeks ago he knows his worth So clearly Hibs haven’t yet made an offer he considers has met that
Think he has improved and any new contract will need to reflect that

Great interview with Josh now up on HTV and Recast.

Comes across like a really nice young guy, with a measured humility and maturity when talking about his career. He knows he's talented, but also knows that the environment we've got at Hibs isn't one to take for granted and he's still got plenty of learning to do here. Love his enthusiasm.

He'll go far.

Billy started out looking like another great prospect, he had loads of talent, Hibs played him in just about every position at the time. I think he also has something to do with looking after the ex Hibs players so not to shabby a life and future in the game. Josh still has a long way to go I was getting at.

Ha I did wonder last week when Ross mentioned he was surprised there hadn’t been more hype around him. Obvs the contract was in the bag.

Feels exactly the same as every season to me, players sign who want to sign, see Newell and Doig, and players who dont want to sign yet, see Rocky, dont.

Simple really.

I cant remember Hibs ever renewing this many players by this stage. Never. I think Hibs are quite clearly being more proactive with this, keeping on top of it and offering players very competitive wages to stay. I don't get why you are so offended by that suggestion.
