Contracts Up?

[Keyser Sauzee]

I know that McGregor and Fyvie's deals are up at the end of the season but who else is due to expire? We need to extend both these guys I think as we would struggle to replace them with a lot better imo.

[hibee_girl]

Stevenson is out of contract too

I think Gray, Boyle, Fontaine and Keatings are too

[JDHibs]

There was a list of people a few months back...cant remember them all off the top of my head.

Fonts
McGregor
Laidlaw
Fyvie
Boyle
Keats
Gray
Stevenson
Harris
Holt

It wasnt far off a full teams worth of players, in my opinion it could work in our favour, these players are playing for their futures and its a chance to get rid of some deadwood before going back.

[2016 Delivered]

That's some list of players! Got a feeling Keattings will be let go and stay in this division again.

[Aldo]

Fyvie and McGregor are the priorities for me.

I'd resign Fyvie, McGregor, Sir David, Lewid and Keatings. I'd also see if Laidlaw and Fontaine could be signed.

Anyone know if discussions are taking place to get the priority players from the list signed again?

[HibsNutter]

Would renew McGregor, Fyvie, Lewis, Fonts and Gray. The rest can be replaced with better players in the PL.

[J-C]

You'll probably find discussions have taken place but we're waiting to see what division we're in before we can go ahead and finalise and deals, there's been no talks from any of the players re leaving at the end or signing elsewhere on a pre contract, to me that means they're happy to stay when we either go up or leave if we don't.

Would definitely give contracts to McGregor, Fyvie, Gray and Stevenson. Fontaine, Laidlaw, Boyle, Keatings and Holt - we'll evaluate at at the end of the season. Harris has had his time.

No discussions have taken place and there are no plans as yet.

Scooshing the League would be a good idea as it would let these discussions begin earlier.

This.

[Oscar T Grouch]

We just aren't in a position to discuss new contracts with anyone at the moment. As soon as we secure our place in the Premier league we can start talking. This does carry the risk of those out of contract at the end of the season being free to speak to other clubs, but I have a feeling everyone bar a couple who aren't near the first team will be willing to stay on and continue this very Hibee adventure

Totally agree. Win the league early and get players identified and signed up for a flyer in the premier.

Would ideally want to keep them all except Harris and Holt. It's slightly concerning that we have a full back 5 (Inc goalkeeper) out of contract. Given we have the best defensive record in the UK I'd be amazed if there wasn't interest from other clubs.

Let's just hope that we can secure promotion early and begin discussions asap.

[supermcginn]

Keep mcgregor, fyvie, Laidlaw gray and boyle, the rest can leave.

[1van Sprou7e]

I really hope we resign Lewis but we should also sign another left back if we get promoted

No chance, best finisher we have just needs a run free of injuries

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

Keep, McGregor, Fonts, Gray, Fyvie, Boyle and Keats.

I rate Keatings and have a feeling if we let him go he may flourish elsewhere. I want him to do that with Hibs! He needs to earn it though.

Nah, my opinion is he won't be good enough for the step up next season and will end up at Dundee Utd probably.

McGregor, Fyvie and Gray for sure.

Fonts, Boyle, Stevenson, Laidlaw and Keats not so sure of. Defo good enough for the division we are in however I reckon Lennon would look for better should we get promotion.

Harris and Holt no thanks.

Agree with this. We can get better than these players in as folk have already mentioned.

Laidlaw has done nothing wrong as a backup so would keep him

Swanson
Forster can replace Fontaine
Henderson In
Martin in midfield will step up imo
Oli Shaw can be backup to Cummings and Graham and another striker we bring in.

Förster for Fontaine is a backwards step. Would definitely keep liam if we can.

Harris can leave. Holt I could take or leave - I quite like him and think he provides a good option and works really hard when on the field.

The rest, I would like to stay. McGregor in particular I would be gutted to see go.

[CMurdoch]

Fyvie and McGregor - must be kept

It becomes more difficult after that because we are aiming to finish 3rd.
To do that requires a certain quality of player if we are to move forward.
The above 2 meet that standard.
The difficulty is deciding without sentiment which of the other out of contract players will be able to take us forward.

A factor to consider in relation to the full backs is that they will playing more as defenders in the Premier League given we will naturally have less possession.
This might help Lewis &/or Gray who are much better defenders than wing backs.

Laidlaw will not be on a big wage and has done enough this season to win another contract.

Keating - has a good quality delivery so may have a chance

Boyle - his lack of finishing composure and final ball will count against him

Harris and Holt are gone
