I’d have loved him to stay and play for Hibs. Something that Johnson was lauded for at his old clubs was developing young players, we’ve seen very little of that so far.
For about the millionth time. They are all offered the same contract once their two year initial deal expires. I would guess most on here agree with that principle.Quote:

If they can find better elsewhere, good luck to them. I would guess that the money offered at Hibs is as good as any other side in Scottish football.
I’ve never noticed a huge exodus of young players from ER who are seeking a better deal elsewhere. The one that springs to mind (Conor Young) has found their career on a downhill trajectory since he left for the “big money”.
I’m wondering who else will be leaving, aside from Laidlaw, O’Connor and Aitken? Those are the names regularly mentioned on here.
Hibs didn't offer him a new contract so he had no option but to moveQuote:

He’s one I really find baffling. Came in to the team in pre season and did well, looked the part and played iirc as a right back and centre mid - maybe even in the same match but I can’t be certain.Quote:

Season 21-22 he played 5 games for Standard Liege and 10 ganes on loan for MVV, so has played at a decent standard.Quote:

Why is that the case (when did Delferriere return from injury) ? It strikes me as bizarre that we have players that could contribute but are wilfully being omitted from the squad (laidlaw aside, that I get)Quote:

He definitely appears to be improving, and he’s got a good attitude.
Cheers for that, I'm only going on what folk say here and that wasn't a lot re some guys on loan.Quote:

I think it was a dispute regarding training schedules.Quote:

There may have been a dispute over training, hibs said at the time it was for the 3 players development.Quote:

That doesn’t sound like they were very good, especially johnsone
Allan did play more games than the other 2, however he got booked almost every game he played, and very rarely lasted the 90 minutes, often he came off injured
FC EDINBURGH did not want them to stay.
If you check the FC EDINBURGH stats before january, you can see this information.
Mabye the truth is somewhere in between.
🤔😄👍🏻
Even though Newcastle u23 don't seem to be as good as other Premier league u23s from the league tables a very good result.
A good season for the Development squad with the reserve league title I'm sight and some great European adventures and I'm hoping a few will be more featured next season in the first team.
U18 is a very young team next season so let's hope the group can do better next year as most will still be eligible.
Still contracts for Josh and Ethan not been sorted out and Jacob and Rudi should be at the u17s euros for Scotland in the summer.
I think the contracts have been sorted out, they're just not signing them.Quote:

So they are not sorted out effectively.Quote:
