Apologies if this was posted elsewhere but what’s the general feeling about him staying/leaving.
I feel as if I’d be happy if he stayed but wouldn’t be that bothered if he left. He’s been okay for us but not a lot else. I was extremely disappointed with him in the final (not the only player) but I feel he’s been a bit of a let down and I’d rather see a player who is contributing a bit more going forward. I like him but I would rather see his considerable wages go to someone who’s going to pick up 5/10 goals a year.

Either way I hope Ross stops with just two central midfielders next season. We can’t afford the quality needed from those two midfielders to make it really work IMO.

On balance I would like him to stay, but, and I might be wrong here, I get the impression that his recent tweet was an apology for the players letting us down and a fond farewell as he will be off to pastures new.

I was enthusiastic about him after his first match - he was pretty impressive given the amount of time he'd gone without a game. However for me he hasn't shown enough since then to merit breaking the bank to keep him.
If he was to stay on a wage/deal that Hibs think is reasonable then I'll be happy enough. If he moves on because we won't meet his demands then so be it.Last edited by Peevemor; 26-05-2021 at 02:16 PM.

Like many I was delighted we signed him as I felt he was the missing piece in our midfield puzzle so to speak. Then after what was a really good start he just seemed to go a bit flat and would routinely go large spells of matches without really imposing himself I felt.
Ultimately if we do keep him I think there's a player in there to build a successful team with for sure, but on the other hand if he's wanting stupid money then I'm not sure I feel like we need a man of his traits badly enough to break the bank.

I'm indifferent about him. From what I've seen he's a decent player, nothing more.
I think he'd be easy enough to replace and I'd prefer to have someone in his position who occasionally chipped in with a few goals.
If he stays then fine and if he goes then also fine.

A bit torn on him. Like others are saying he was good when he came in but regressed a bit. Really poor in front of goal as well surprisingly because I’m sure he scored a few goals at Hull
You just know that if he joins Aberdeen he’d have an absolute stormer next season

I'm indifferent. He's not offered enough for me to back him being a high end earner. I hope Kyle Magennis can step up to the plate and we use the money elsewhere to strengthen the side.

Similar to Jack Ross I suppose, not bothered either way.
After the first few games I thought he would have had more of an impact at the business end of the season. What a chance he had on Saturday to really make a name for himself.
If we sign him I'll get behind him but would prefer it's a deal that's best for Hibs.

Apparently Aberdeen want him, so he can't be up to much
He's no better than OK, doesn't control games, disappears for long spells, doesn't score goals can produce the goods but doesn't do it often enough. Would not push the boat out for him as there are plenty of the same standard players floating around Scotland.Last edited by Onion; 26-05-2021 at 04:32 PM.

Hope he stays however fair to say some of his performances not the best though though the was excellent at Aberdeen

Interested to see how he performed if Hibs adopted a rigid 3-5-2 as opposed to the hybrid/flexible formation we use at the moment.
Also, JR has made it no secret he expects KM to be the main man next season..

I'd like him to stay. Get a full pre-season under his belt and see how he goes.
He's a good player who has often been played wide left. Play him in the middle and you'll see the best of him.

It’s a no from me
Couldn’t hit a barn door if his life depended upon it and runs funny for a footballer
At least he apologised

Why do folk think he's so certain to go to Aberdeen?
Wasn't there an article a week or so ago stating that if he decides to stay in Scotland he'd be staying at Hibs, and not going to Aberdeen?

I like him. He improved us immediately after arrived and would probably be my first pick of the midfielders.
I'd be keeping hold of him if it was at all possible.

The player we’ve seen at Hibs, well Bangkok Hibby sums it up perfectly.

Maybe a cliche , but I think he would be a different player after a proper pre-season. If he leaves then so be it. I would be surprised if he gets a better offer in Scotland as he won't be on the radar of the OF.

Was impressed with Jackson Irvine when he first came to Hibs for his energy and work rate.
Thought along with Cadden,Gogic and Doig he was part of the best Hibs midfield last season
For some unknown reason when Newell came back into the team,he didn’t seem sure of his position and his form dipped.
If he does stay,it probably will be because he doesn’t get a better offer elsewhere.
Is this a good reason for staying ? I’m not sure.

I’m unsure, but as the Modfather says there is no point if it’s to play in a midfield of Newell and Gogic. All the signs are that Newell is a favourite of Ross, though if it was up to me I wouldn’t be playing him and wouldn’t have extended his contract. Gogic on the other hand I really like and I would be starting every game. I’d like to see Scott Allan in the side on the assumption he can get back to his best.
Trouble is if we continue to play with two strikers the current midfield doesn’t look balanced for me and most definitely doesn’t get enough goals. And I’ve seen nothing so far from Magennis to suggest he is the answer.
