Hibernian look to tie up new deal for Ian Murray
Jan 26 2010 Alan Marshall
Hibs manager John Hughes last night revealed he is hopeful of signing vice-captain Ian Murray on an extended deal.
The 28-year-old defender has been one of the Easter Road side's top performers this season and his surging runs from full-back were once again a feature in Saturday's 5-1 hammering of Hamilton.
But the Scotland cap is out of contract at the end of the season and talks on a new deal have so far failed to reach a conclusion since beginning at the turn of the year.
Murray is keen to stay in the capital but, having entered the final six months of his contract, is now free to hold talks with other clubs and a return to English football, where he suffered a disappointing spell with Norwich, is a possibility.
Hughes has confessed he is desperate to hang on to the versatile player, who returned to his boyhood heroes two years ago after leaving for Rangers on a Bosman free transfer in 2005.
He said: "Ian Murray is one that I'm hoping we can all put to bed.
"He's everything I want at the club, he's had a right good season so hopefully something will happen.
"But football's football and everyone is entitled to do what they want. We're entitled to look somewhere and they are as well.
"I'd like to think he will be staying with us and he will sign his contract."

Signing Murray should be the number 1 priority of the board at the moment. I genuinely worry about the back 4 without Nid.

Murray deserves to be among the top earners. Been far and away our best player since returning to the club.

IM wants to stay at Hibs and the only thing stoping him signing is the value of the contract.

will be a huge loss if he left. As far as i am aware he doesnt want to leave ER. get him signed up give him what he wants as he is one of, if not the most consistently brilliant player in a green and white shirt week in week out!

Murray is vital to the team. He's got the commitment in games, shows passion, is consistent and never lets the team down.
The guy should be amongst the top earners, let's no arse about Hibs.

If the Yams think we're serious about retaining Murray they'll soon be in with an offer...

I'm sure Hibs will get the stick for it if it happens but if we can have guys like Miller, Riordan and Stokes within our budget I'm sure Murray can be accomodated unless he's being silly.
I don't believe for a minute we'll offer him any less than those, despite all the usual in the know comments.

I wonder how long a deal IM is looking for?
Would imagine at least 3 years perhaps even 4 which would take him up to 31/32 years in age - when you put that into perspective it really is the last big deal he is going to sign in his career.

Maybe he doesn't have to as it might mean something else?
Didn't King Paddy get called the same too?

Can't help but feel he might think he has one more crack at England in him and he'll walk again!
With Hibs getting blamed for not offering enough of course as is the way of things!

We really need to get him tied up on a long term deal quickly. A lot of clubs will definately be keeping a close eye on Murray and will be ready to pounce at any minute. Ian Murray totally deserves a simillar wage to our already top earners. The guy will be very hard to replace.
