Out Of Contract

[Kiriakov33]

Suppose its up to the loanees clubs what they want to do with them but I would certainly try to keep Ball and Stewart if we can. I also heard that a fair chunk of the U20 will be released.

[BWG]

I dont want him but I could see us trying to buy Scott Allan.

[Mr Brightside]

Have to put faith in McInnes to identify players who are available- would like to think we are on it and have some targets in over the next few weeks. Ferguson is a start!

[Kiriakov33]

Maybe they will announce a couple of pre-contracts at the strip launch this week ??

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Ball has been absolutely crap for 90% of the season. Cant believe how many people want to try and keep him now because of a few good games late on.

 

Must find better

[Tord31]

ive already said i wouldnt retain any of them (other than mclean)

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Thats cause you ken fits up

[the_shrimp]

Campbell on the wing?

 

Lol

Apologies millerman.

 

Well I'm sure we can do better than Stewart. He's been average at best this season.

[Tord31]

I really like Stewart as a player but end of the day his number of goals and assists has been a let down.

 

Ball is not good enough to be a first pick although for sure he's been great in the last three games.

 

Woodman will want to be a number 1.

 

Christie may be available later but not now so any negotiation is gonna see us pay over the odds.

 

Chidi will be back in Nigeria within a couple years. Not good enough.

 

McLean is obviously off.

 

Rogers, Arnason, Maynard and O'Connor you presume are leaving.

 

So just the youngsters to wait and see.

 

Bruce Anderson looks in the good books so presume has signed on again

[Tord31]

realistically the players good enough give this XI

 

Lewis

 

Logan Devlin McKenna NEW

 

NEW Shinnie

 

McGinn NEW GMS

 

May

 

and even then Devlin and May look ropey at the moment. Considine would have an argument his name should be in at left back before those two are in the team...

[Tord31]

He's been good enough before and we gave him a four year deal. Think we are going to have to like it and lump it

[DD1903]

He's away to Hibs anyway isn't he?

I'm not sure. They can have him

Yes hes been crap playing as a fill in right back role. Hes now had a run of games in centre mid and has done very well. People have changed opinion as they can clearly see he can do a job at centre midfield against the top 6 teams.

He literally only played right back twice all season.

 

He was crap in his midfield role too until the last 3 or 4 games.

Only started 9 league games this season I think. Hes now played the last 5 games as a centre midfielder against the 5 best teams in the league. Hes been a very consistent performer to help us finish second. Ball clearly needed a decent run in the team to find his way. Dont get me wrong i thought he was fucking hopeless up until the Kilmarnock game but hes proven himself to be a decent player.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

If he stays on he of course gets my backing. I just think/hope we can do better.

Rogers signing a two year deal according to P & J

[DelMonte]

I dont want him but I could see us trying to buy Scott Allan.

I'd take him in a heartbeat. A good player who could turn into a very good player. Great hair too.

Another known hun, classic McIness signing

Like McLean?

[Granite95]

Like McLean?

More thinking along the lines of Gregg Wylde tbh.

 

Not sure if Celtic would sell him to us, and if he'd even want to join us. The games I've seen of hibs he's normally been one of their better players to be fair

Are you forgetting Cosgrove?

[Yorston Vasey]

Oh aye forgot McGinn my bad. It did feel a bit light when I read it back.

I see what you did there.

 

McInnes needs to phone up all the Burger Kings and McDonalds in Aberdeen to get this fat cunt banned. Tell the DVLA he's not fit to drive either so the fucker has to walk everywhere. Needs to lose a ton of weight this summer if he's to get back anywhere near the McGinn we know he can be when he can be arsed.

[Byrne Baby Byrne]

Non existent at Celtic, horrendous at Rotherham and fairly unremarkable at Dundee. Only seems to do it in a Hibs top for some reason. Would be an interesting one

I'm with Camy on this one.

 

All those games we persisted with O'Connor at CM it now appears we should really have been playing Ball.

[DelMonte]

Ball matched the best teams in the league since the split with little trouble and he's only 22 which some people forget. Plenty room for improvement. Definitely worth signing.

Him and O'Conner were playing regularly and well prior to the semi and have been exceptional since the semi final. That one game shouldn't define them.

 

Not that i'm saying to keep either, but when they are played in their correct positions they have been decent. O'Conner especially, he hasn't really been given the credit he deserves for his performances since the semi.

Exactly this.

 

Would be happy enough to see him stay next year.

 

Might also result in Shinnie moving back to LB if we can get someone else for the middle of the park in as well.

I would be happy to have Ball and O'Connor stay. We would do well to find better squad players

I guess it depends on the wage they are on. O'Connor should only ever play CB and on that basis I think he's an ok squad player. Ball has shown some degree of form with his little run in the team and he outmuscled Brown a few times yesterday. Again, not a bad squad player but we should be looking at better players for the starting 11.
