Hibs have become much more proactive with contracts recently. I think losing some good players for either nothing or much less than we should have got has hit home.

Brilliant news.
Give him a bigger pay day on a longer contract and it'll mean we get a lot more money for him if offers come in, nothing more than he deserves though.
I hope he signs.
Would be brilliant to have him tied up on a longer and better deal.
I actually think he’s going to go on a bit of a scoring spree now. You could tell after he scored the goal how much more he wanted to get in the box and was driving forward.
Having someone of his size arriving late at the back post is a real threat and I think his goal will make him grow in confidence.
It really is quite incredible the progress he’s made in 6 months.
I’ve said on numerous times how the first couple of games I wasn’t convinced. It seemed more like we were forcing him into the team in the hope he would be good. He was poor defensively and although he’d bomb forward there was no real quality or composure.
That was clearly nerves and getting used to first team football.
Now he takes men on and whips great crosses in. Even on Saturday he showed great skill when the defender was quickly onto him, he nipped it round one side and ran round the other. The performances he’s put in especially against Tavernier, Frimpong etc show how good he is especially against better opposition.
He dominated the whole left flank.
He could go all the way to the top, he has everything and is still growing.
Really hope he signs an extension great young player and managed brilliantly by JR this season.
Took him out of the team earlier on when he started struggling a bit and has came back in and not looked out of place
New contract incoming for Newell
He will stay. Hearts should rightly be spewing. Maybe we could nab Irvine off them also and have the two Portys and Porto in the side.
He’s plenty ability IMO, is pretty highly rated and part of the Scotland u-21 set up prior to lockdown.
Think he’s playing with the wrong team myself but I know he is Hearts daft and has been there since he was very young so I doubt you’ll need to bother too much about him heading to us anytime soon.
