12 Hibs Players Team Players Out of Contract

[CMurdoch]

Generally every 3 years loads of players at Hibs reach the end of their contracts at the same time.
This next happens at the end of next season when the contracts of the following 12 first team players end:

Scott Allan
Christian Doidge
Stevie Mallan
Paul Hanlon
Lewis Stevenson
Sean Mackie
Melker Hallberg
Drey Wright
Alex Gogic
Paul McGinn
Steven Bradley
Jamie Murphy

Which of the players do you think Jack Ross will want to keep?

I reckon Paul Hanlon will be the best bet with possibly Christian Doidge and as an outside bet Alex Gogic

As above for me. He seems to like Hallberg as a sub too, so possibly him if he's ok with not playing too much.

Out of that list I think we’ll keep
Allan
Hanlon
Stevenson
Mcginn
A lot will depend on form with others, Doidge on current form will struggle to get a new contract, Gogic is a bit of a strange one for me, I quite like him but we’re probably going to need a bit better to progress. Bradley is still young so he might get more game time next season and win a new contract. The rest will probably be allowed to leave.

So the end of next season? A bit cruel when we havent even started that season yet.

Problem for Scott Allan is he will be one of the top earners.
A big season for him next season.
Unless he can make a big comeback I suspect his considerable wage will be put back in the pot for new recruits.
Stevie Mallan in a similar boat. Lots of the wage budget with little return equals gone.

Agree with this.

Add Scott Allan and Mackie.

Just chucking it out there to give us something to talk about during International week.
Some of the guys might move on in the summer and some will get offers of new contracts in December.
Aberdeen reach the same point in the contract cycle at the end of this season although with the exception of Hoban I suspect they will be delighted to get rid of the rest.

Assuming Jack Ross will be here to make the call!!!!

I hope he is but you can never tell.

[147lothian]

It's something to think about before the midway point of next season for me, doesn't really matter at the moment, just my own opinion of course

Mackie is an interesting player.
Looked fast and strong when he played earlier in the season before being stopped in his tracks by injury again.
In the meantime Doig has managed lots of game time and has cemented himself in the team as Stevensons successor.
Hopefully he is ready to play again and can play in the early round of the Scottish Cup..
Injury rather than a lack of ability appears to stand between Sean Mackie and a good football career.
Hope he can catch a break.

I expect Doig to be away either end of this season or next. At his level of performance we wont keep him for much longer.

I really think we could get £4-5m for him this summer what with his age, most recent performances and potential.

A wee while before he gets his vaccine right enough .

Think the Hibs project will keep his interest whilst it continues to progress.

Once a fair chunk of the out of contract players above go at the end of next season he will be working exclusively with players he brought in or chose to retain.

If I was to guess on his shelf life I could probably see him leave for better things or be pushed out during or after season 2022/23.

It's a bit early for such a discussion. We've got two transfer windows before these players are out of contract; much will depend on recruitment, player sales, players coming through from the development team, fitness and form. Lewis currently seems to be back-up to Doig; any further contract extension would take him to age 36 or beyond. I suspect that we'll be looking to move Wright and Hallberg, possibly Mackie and some of the loanees, along in the summer rather than waiting a further year.

I think those in bold are pretty nailed on to get some sort of extension mostly due to their ages and their current squad roles. The rest are a mix of "Needing to show something to earn it" like Sean Mackie and Drey Wright or "Lets see how the body holds up" for Stevenson or Scott Allan.

The attraction with Gogic is Ross knows exactly what he is going to get with Gogic and he is easy on the wage budget.
He was taken out the team a few times but we missed his combative powers and he was put back in.
Has played more minutes than most of the fancy Dan's around him this season so a lot of bang for our buck.
He is like a hammer in the toolbox. Better to use the finer precise tools on a job but sometimes you just need to get the hammer out to persuade compliance.

Good, then we hold on to him!

For me he's by far the best prospect I've seen taking the step up since the so called golden generation (what were Hearts thinking?). I think he could easily go on to earn a £3-4 transfer, but it's a bit soon yet.

Probably one more season at Hibs.
That will decide whether he is below, at, above or well above Hibs level.
I would say he is at Hibs level at the moment with potential to move to the next level up.
As ever time will tell.

Scott Allan - maybe
Christian Doidge - yes

As I said on another thread (although everyone just ignored me so it's maybe complete nonsense), but I think Gogic is interchangeable with Irvine as opposed to Newell depending in the opposition/circumstances. Irvine is obviously more skillful, but for me they're more similar than Gogic & Newell.

[1875Sean]

Isn’t Jamie Murphy signing for us permanently in the summer, is it only a one year deal?

Yeah, different horses for different courses.

Doidge on current form would certainly not struggle to get a new contract.

I disagree. I think he’s been poor this season. The Doidge of last season would easily get a new contract, but he’ll have to get back to that sort of form or I can see him leaving. Some of his finishing this season has been dismal, at times he’s looked out of his depth. Hopefully he can turn it around as he was great last season when he finally got going.

Loan turns to permanent at the end of this season and he has a 1 year deal.
He will be 32 when his contract ends in May 2022.

Doidge hasn't been in good goalscoring form but he has never looked out of his depth IMO, not once. Always a part of every game. We wouldn't be 3rd place with an out of depth striker starting every match. He'll stroll into a good gig if we are stupid enough to let him go.

Some of his finishing has been embarrassing, completely missing the ball at times. He’s never been the most technical, but as long as he’s scoring it doesn’t matter. He needs to get back to scoring goals imo.

[Allez Hibs]

Now Doidge is getting it tight 😲

I would not be getting rid of Doidge.
