But not a bad situation for the new boss - whoever it is...

I think thats a pretty decent basis to start. 2 good CH's, 2 good wingers (albeit 1 is injury prone and the other is still learning his trade), a good footballer in the middle of the park and a fantastic goalscorer.
Id be happy for the rest to go.

I see it as a positive that the new manager could end up with a good bit of leeway to get his own guys in.

I'd keep Riordan and Galbraith (if he proves himself in a decent run of games). Apart from that, I wouldn't be that disappointed to see any of them leave, with the possible exception of Miller who, on his day, could be one of the best midfielders in the SPL.

Never mentioned that any of them would definitely stay.
If the players I mentioned all wanted away then your right, we may be in a wee bit of trouble. Unless of course the new manager, whoever that may be, can bring in some players who offer us more than what we have.
Only time will tell.

I don't thinks it's coincidence that most of the team are out of contract and the recent poor performances we've seen.
Maybe i'm just being cynical but, these players wont want to risk injury on the remaining months of their contract.

Genuine question here, so don't take offence, but do you think there's any point? If we had a fully fit Zemmama that played for the team on a consistent and long term basis, I'd agree, but that's definitely not how it's been so far.
I'd be interested in some stats as to how long he's been with Hibs and what percentage of that time he's been unable to play for the club (injuries, out of the country, etc). I'm not saying for a minute that I've got any complaints with the reasons he hasn't been in the team, just the cold hard facts that he's hardly played for Hibs during his time here.

Surely he owes it to Hibs to stay here. IIRC he came out and said that he wants to get back to playing and repay us for when we allowed him to go out on loan when his wife wasn't allowed in the country. And obviously repay us for the time he's been out injured.

A lot of the players listed will be allowed to leave. Given the operating losses Hibs have suffered recently and decreasing attendances, I can't see Petrie maintaining the player budget when it has risen for the past few years. It's not going to be as drastic as Williamson playing a team of kids but the squad definitely needs cut. For a start, we can't afford to carry three experienced keepers!

This is all in our favour - all the players coming towards the end of their contracts should start to play out of their skins whether they are looking to stay or leave, and a new manager coming in can exploit that.
In fact, with Zemamma and Duffy coming back to fitness, and Trakys hopefully getting fitter, what a good time for a new manager to walk in the door.

I still think that a fit Zouma would be the most valuable asset in our team as he is our only real playmaker. Getting him fit is definitely an issue but if we could get him on a years extension and assess him over that period it'd give him a chance to win a further extension and also not over commit Hibs to handing out a long contract to someone that can never play should it not work out.
This is me making the assumption that he wants to stay of course.

There are 23 players out of contract including the younger ones. From a previous thread there are only 7 players left in contract - now that is scary

Of the lot of them I would only be eager to see Riordan stay on. Bamba should be punted, if possible, in January. I would say the same of Miller but I doubt anyone else would be interested in paying money for him.
The suggestion from some that we should continue to employ Zemmamma is bizarre. Decent wages and never fit-no thanks.
Football isignings are a bit of a lottery. We move on journeymen players and mostly sign some more. I guess that the hope is that we unearth some gems from amongst the dross?
What worries me a lot is the rise in wages to turnover with little or no signs of improvement on the field.

I guess some players will move on even if we wanted to keep them. In those cases I think we would all want to see real replacements, not the slow decline in quality we have had. Unless young players come through then we are bound to have this decline.

[QUOTE=FalkirkHibee;2598524]Riordan
Miller - offer new deal
Bamba - doesn't want to be with us so no point, not sure about him at CH but give a run in midfield while we still have him
Zemmama - probably going to go but if we could keep him fit would like to see what he can do on a regular basis. We have never had him fit for more than a couple of months at a time the whole 5 seasons he has been with us.
McBride - not fussed, can't help but feel there is better out there. Squad player maybe or as part of a revamped midfield but might have to go to free wages up
Galbraith - would like to see how he does if he gets a run in the team
Smith -
Stack - not fussed
Dickoh - don't know yet
Duffy - don't know yet
Trakys - don't know yet
Thicot -
Rankin - see McBride
Nish -
Hogg -
Grounds is out of contract in January - don't know yet.[/QUOTE]
