bobbycoxblue Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 [emoji38]. There's an Arab over on the Falkirk thread whose trolling is just as bad; it must be an epidemic! You seem to be keeping a low profile these days Spudster, with pish like this it's maybe just as well. There's more chance of Dundee winning the Scottish Cup than of us going bust. And epidemic..? .. two people constitutes an EPIDEMIC? mmm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarto Mutiny Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 Managed to land 3 of you though. Pleasing. However I understand the buckets have already been presented to the wealthier supporters as Stevie has finally decided it's over. See you next season xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Granny Danger Posted February 11, 2017 Share Posted February 11, 2017 We have played poorly most of this season, even during our long unbeaten run we were rarely brilliant. I said then that we would pay the price for this eventually and that's exactly what's happening. I won't be surprised if we finish fourth this season, the players look disinterested and the manager is making bad decisions. As a season ticket holder of many, many years I will tolerate another season in this league, there are many fans who won't. If we don't improve the squad significantly in the summer then revenues will be badly hit as folk vote with their feet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They players keep on letting us down Whatever happens this season, next season's squad will look very different. There aren't a lot of players for the current squad I would keep, especially if we somehow contrive to get ourselves promoted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have to say the same about Toshney on the basis that he would only play in defensive midfield. I agree about keeping Fraser but by Christ he needs to man up.

I am not 100% sure which of our players are under contract for next year, as you have to assume they'll still be here stinking the place out given that nobody else is likely to want them.

skinny arab Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 Player recruitment is going to be absolutely vital for us this summer. At the start of this season Hibs decided fuck it we're going up this year and spent big on having a squad and management team in place to achieve this. This has to be the type of approach we take next season as if we don't bring in the right quality to get back into the top flight next season I think attendances will take a significant hit.

Dundee Hibernian Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 As far as I remember, Donaldson has a contract until May 2018, and Toshney 2019. Telfer and Edge are both out of contract at the end of this season. So clearly that has an effect on our squad next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stumigoo Posted February 13, 2017 Share Posted February 13, 2017 On 4 January 2017 at 17:56, stumigoo said: I've noticed that the papers have us trying to negotiate a new deal for The Edge for beyond the summer (which is a good idea). I know it is early (and we don't know our budgets for next season) but in terms of contracts and extensions, these are the players who's deals end in the summer... Van der Struijk Van der Velden Flood Murdoch Spittal Dixon Telfer Murray Zwick Dillon Obadeyi In my opinion... Van der Struijk - Offer a new deal. When fit he is the best fullback we have and I have been really impressed with him. Van der Velden - Release. He flatters to deceive and hasn't performed at all in the last couple of months. Plus he is 35. Flood - Offer a new deal. I don't think it will take too much for him to stay and I think he could still very much play another year at least. Murdoch - Not sure. He has been unlucky with injury and Mckinnon rates him but we haven't seen enough yet. Spittal - Release. Sorry pal but you have regressed instead of developed. Dixon - Release. We have Robson coming through and can easily pick up another young fullback as cover. Telfer - Offer a new deal. Never thought I would say this but his form recently has been pretty good and he has shown himself to be competent enough at this level. Murray - Offer a new deal. I still think there is something else to see from Murray and another year or so might help develop him even further. Zwick - Release. Time for him to move on just for the fact that he has sat on the bench for ages and has never shown any real signs of progress. Dillon - Offer a non-playing deal. I'm not sure what Dillon's plans are for playing but he has been doing his badges and already has shown he wants to coach. Maybe give him a role alongside Bowman with the Development Squad. Obadeyi - Release. Too inconsistent and hasn't shown enough so far. Still has the illusion of being quite a good impact player so I wonder if McKinnon might want to give him a new deal. Thoughts? These are the players who are out of contract in the summer )obviously Tope has already left). I'd still stick with what I said previously.

Toshney will be here next season, Donaldson I feel will definitely be gone as long as we can come to an agreement to release him from his contract.The Edge I really hope stays but have my doubts, with his family staying in England he may want to move back down nearer to them and as well dunno if he'd played down this level another season since he can clearly play at higher level.
