Jackson Irvine

[Cod Boy]

Wouldn’t sign him if he’s going to continue to play left midfield by the manager and guess he won’t sign being that reason.

[J-C]

Decent player but wouldn't break the bank to keep him, been offered a deal and still hasn't signed it, if goes so be it, we move on/

Touch of the Fraser Fyvie situation with JI. He seems to want to hold on to see what he can get, thinking that Hibs want him and will hang on indefinitely for him. He’s not that important to us so I hope Ross calls a halt and starts, if he hasn’t already, to look for a good replacement who wants to play for us.

[B.H.F.C]

Not been overly impressed, but he’s been asked to do a job for the team out of position at times and done all right. Best spell was early doors in a better balanced midfield minus Joe Newell.

[ekhibee]

Difficult player to assess IMO, early on I really liked him and he put in some really good passes. But I totally with a lot of people on here who say that the midfield with him and Newell is a bit hot and cold. I do like Irvine, he works hard for the team IMO even when he's played out of position and looking totally ineffective, where as Newell just lopes about but is a really good passer given the space. I would definitely keep him, but if he's seriously thinking of going to Aberdeen he can piss off right now.

[Alfred E Newman]

Since he arrived I’ve seen nothing to suggest he is worth signing. Like most of the team, his cup final performance was abysmal.

[GRA]

I'd keep on another short term deal. Think overall he's definitely added to our midfield but needs to be played in the correct position, which is not left midfield.

Just a shame his performance Saturday dampened some of my enthusiasm for him. Compare it to his last cup final appearance for County v us in 2016. Marked McGinn out the game best player on the park that day. I'd give him a chance to try to get to those levels again think there's still a player there.

[cameronw-hfc]

I get the feeling there is a very very good box to box midfielder for this level inside him, however with a long period out and coming back into a team out of position, I don't think he's had the chance to show what he's capable of yet.

[Key West]

Would be happy to see him signing for next season as a central midfielder.

[Since452]

Like him to sign tbh.

Meh!

A frustrating player! There are real glimpses of class and he's all the attributes to be a really effective player. Some of his passes to Boyle in earlier matches shows to me he's a good player.

However, there are times in games when I get the impression that he's a bit "headless chicken", rushes around a lot, but the game passes him by. I keep saying "what has Irvine done in this match", though then he usually does something to make me think a bit more positive about him.

That said, Saturday is not the day to define Irvine's contribution this year. He's been more good than bad.

I'm more disappointed by Newell's performance. He rarely got out of 1st gear and played so many backward passes. There was a few times when he was jogging back to help out our defence, when he should have been sprinting. The same when we had a chance to break forward.

Newell has been excellent for Hibs this season, especially in the 1st half of it. But he was very poor on Saturday.

If two of your three central midfielders are having poor games, then it's not a surprise that Boyle, Nisbet and Doidge were hardly seen.

Martin Boyle and Jackson Irvine joined the Socceroos training camp in the Middle East today ahead of their 3 World Cup qualifiers being played in Kuwait in early June.

Seeing as Irvine’s contract expires on 31/5 and nothing has been announced and he won’t be back until after his contract ends, I’m guessing we won’t see him in a Hibs strip again.

Doesn't meant that at all

We will have a rough deadline on him accepting and we will stick to that

I hope he signs on to be honest - wouldn't want him signing for any of our rivals

I get the impression that Jack Ross/the club sets deadlines for people signing. If the deadline passes that doesn't mean that any offer is withdrawn, but it will mean that the club will no longer wait on the player in question's answer to fill the position (at which point the offer would no longer stand).

The immediate aftermath of the cup final loss is obviously not the time to launch a new kit or any other commercial initiatives, however it wouldn't surprise me if the photos have already been done for the new kit/sponsor launch. These could even include photos of a newly resigned Jackson Irvine, with the announcement having been withheld for release at a better moment.

Or he might be offski and that's that.

Whilst recognising the part about Irvine having had a long period with no club, I'm not so sure about having had no chance to show what he capable. He's certainly played plenty of games.

If he 's been played out of position, I wonder, what is his actual best position? A lot of people mention this when discussing him, yet I'm no clearer as to what that position would be.

I also wonder why we couldn't find a central midfield blend that accommodates this from Gogic, Hallberg, Irvine, Murphy and Newell (appreciate that Murphy has had lengthy period of injury)? Whoops, forgot to add Magennis.

Gogic, Irvine & Murphy had that blend against Aberdeen at home IMO. Steel, energy & creativity. Newell came back from injury and we’ve never seen that midfield again as Newell appears to be one of Ross’ undropables.

Yip, although Murphy picked up another injury. We cant keep playing him wide if he stays, or even McGennis. We have brought the lad in from ICT, so Ross can see this too and has started to address our weaknesses.

Missed the one opportunity we had in a cup final , him along with the rest of the team can all go. Best opportunity ever to win silverware and to think after 2 lost semi finals they don't bother to turn up for the last chance saloon final and the one that brought with it no just the holy grail of cups but massive financial rewards.

Manager can go too.

Maybe he hopes that turning in MOM performances in the qualifying games will attract some better offers than what we have put on the table.

His contract will be up by then though.

All that would mean is another season of transition for a very slim chance we could better the season we've just had when we have a great opportunity to put real distance between ourselves and Aberdeen for seasons to come. People aren't thinking clearly.

[Greenio]

Good player and well worth keeping.

If we'd won the cup we'd all be saying how vital he is.

We didn't win it though . Our midfield got well and truly owned and Irvine was posted missing for most of the game .

Presumably you’d apply the same logic to Man United?

In a momentary lapse of reason I’ll pretend you are serious.

So we start next with our first game in Europe and need to:

compensate the dismissal of a manager and an entire team.
recruit a new management team - or is someone internally stepping up?
recruit and entire new first team
bed the team in - I forget when the Arsenal friendly is but is 6-9th July not our first game?
so 4 weeks.

if you still don’t see the flaw in that would you like to buy a timeshare ;)

I hope the young lad can beat a defender on both sides otherwise we are back to square one with a right footed player coming inside all the time, Murphy playing inside might be considered a luxury allied to his injury problems. Magennis is apparently a central midfielder according to St Mirren fans and if he plays regularly next season I can see Newell as the one that drops out.

You're not serious however you would like to think Hibs will be carrying out an honest post mortem on that Cup Final, rather than writing it off as a bad day at the office as so many on this board want to. The performance suggests there was something deeply wrong with many of the players attitude/mindset from start to finish and Hibs need to get to the root if it. If part of the solution is moving players on, so be it, but a nuclear destruction of the whole squad feels a bit OTT.

[Since452]

A squad and manager rebuild would see us struggle to finish above Aberdeen and potentially Hearts next season. Then there would be calls for the new manager to be punted. Rinse and repeat. Not for me.
