So Hibs trigger the extension clause to make sure that the player is tied in for at least another year.
This doesn't mean that a new contract is not still being discussed. So many factors to consider for both club and player.
The extension just creates breathing space and surety for both sides in the meantime.

Leicester City confirm Jamie Vardy is leaving them at the end of the season.

That was after them not having to sell the pink **** tip to cover debts which would have lead to playing at an empty murrayfield and us being the main elite team in Edinburgh. That was after years of spending money they didnt have to gain a sporting advantage over us, who sold all our best players to cover debts, build a training ground and an East and West stand.
Off topic though but it was good to get that off my chest :greengrin
Anyone think Josh Campbell could be away in the summer? Not sure when his deal runs out but with McGrath coming in and Hoillet possibly staying Campbell might fancy a move where he will play more regularly?
I think somebody said he was wanting to leave last summer but SDG convinced him to stay, so he could well want to leave to get more game time.Quote:

If that's true then along with the other Dundee player they already signed then they are fishing in the same transfer pool as we are pretty much, certainly nowhere near the level needed to catch up with Celtic. Doesn't quite square with the mega bucks takeover some of them think is coming their way.Quote:

Celtic somehow manage to win things with guys like Jack Hendry, Liam Scales, Greg Taylor, Tony Ralston, Scott Bain, Luke McCowan all in their squad. You just have to get the big pieces right to make it work or else as someone else pointed out you end up with a Dundee team.
Jamie Vardy is a notoriously poor trainer. I don’t think he fits the type of personality we’re looking to bring into the club. ALF and DG were/are both model pros. That’s the type of character we need.Quote:

It really hasn't, I just question everything and the "facts" as the media would have us believe don't add up in my opinion. Maybe I'll be proved wrong, I wouldn't lose any sleep over it if I am though I'll continue to wish ruin on the entire Sevco name and everything associated with it.Quote:

I think Ranieri or Rodger’s at one point praised him for his professionalism / dedication..Quote:

From listening to alot of football podcasts it sounds quite alot of elite players are ‘poor trainers’, especially ones from outwith Britain.
Dont know if it’s a British mentality thing where we think in training you should be 100mph and smashing players, the old ‘treat it like a game’ mentality.
Whereas they say alot of players from overseas just go through the motions and do the bare minimum so that they’re as fit and fresh for the game as possible
Can’t believe what I’m reading hereQuote:

David Narey and Paul McGrath weren’t poor trainers they just had to adapt their training schedules to allow for not flaring up chronic injuries.
I see burke is on the move again in the summer, it's like his 11th club in 11 years including loans.
be great to see him team up with Josh Hare who’s currently playing for Boreham Wood.Quote:

I think the price would have been more only for the fact he’s nearing the end of his contract. He looks like a good player unfortunately from what I seen of him on utube .Quote:

Definitely need to apply an A-League tax when looking at goal contributions over there - Jamie McLaren was scoring near enough a goal a game at one point.Quote:

A lot of money being spent on players that have no familiarity with Scottish football.
We’ve all seen that movie before

ALF and Dwight Gayle both received plaudits for their model professionalism and being an influence off the pitch as well as on it. Jamie Vardy doesn’t sound like that type.Quote:

Scott Allan was also a quality player but if you ask Rotherham fans they would most likely say he was crap and look at you sideways.
I still harbour hopes that we could sign him one day.
As for Milanovic if he does come to Aberdeen it will be interesting how he deals with much tighter Scottish defences.
The play in the A League is much more open and less frenetic than in Scotland and I frequently shake my head at the space afforded to attackers in the 18 yard in Oz.
He would need to improve his game in this league before we would go near him, he isn’t always a regular for Ross County seems to be in and out the teamQuote:

All the above is according to transfermrkt

I think the issue with Josh Nisbet is not his ability but his height.
Its been clear since last summer that we have looked - where possible - to sign tall, athletic players.
I think Nisbet has looked decent when I have seen him for County, but he gets a wee bit lost when up against bigger teams like Hibs.
Playing the now on TNT sports 3 if anyone interested in seeing what he is like.Quote:

Will Fish also relegated with Cardiff.

Not been herring anything worth reporting tbf
Maybe Hibs will mackerel our day by announcing extensions for Rocky and Boyle! :greengrinQuote:

Scott Burns saying Martin Boyle still waiting to hear if Hibs will extend his deal. Apparently Hibs have until next month to activate his extension and he has interest from England and the middle east.
