Out Of Contract

[super_al]

Woods is getting a new contract according to the Sun.

Presuming it's a one year contract then fair enough. We have bigger fish to fry this transfer window than the goalkeeping position.

Why only a year? He is a back up keeper surely he can get 3 years to match Joe so we can worry about the "bigger fish" moving forward?

No. One year because I have a half thought about replacing Joe. So, at the moment, let's leave that as an option next summer.

If we are going for total football (absolute lol by the way but lets see) then Joe is not gonna be the best option

I'd be amazed if Joe goes before his contract is up. He will be one of our highest earners, another team would need to take that on; We can't afford to pay another goalkeeper his wage IMO so will be stuck with him for the remainder of his contract.

We could bring in a Danny Ward type but anyways. It's not a thought for the next two transfer window. Probably almost bottom priority.

Aye not objecting to that i just think 5k on Lewis to be sitting on the bench as a loanee has taken his place is an expensive sub for a team like us.

Guess he's happy enough to sit on the bench most weeks, potentially looking to maybe have Tom Ritchie break into the first team in a few years as he's quite highly regarded I thought?

If Glass can get Joe’s confidence back up and get him performing at the standard he was a year or so ago then he’s the least of our worries, even if his distribution is ropey at times.

I’d be amazed if he goes because he’s the best keeper we’ve had for about 20 years. Ward the only one that’s close

Was good at being a crisp packet handed gluepot downs impersonator wi' a brain the size of a medium to large bogey.

Grateful for the 2 penalty shoot-out victories in our victorious 2014 League Cup run.

Taylor must be gone unless he is injured

Both. 

[Tord31]

He's getting the Logan treatment by the look of it whereas maybe the other out of contract lads are still up for grabs

[Betty Swallicks]

Aye file Taylor with Devlin now.

Injured and not wanted.

[North_Andy_Dandy]

So by the looks of it then Logan, Taylor, Devlin and Leigh at least leaving in the summer. If Mcginn contributes like last night I can see him getting offered a 1 year deal but he might be greedy and want a 2 year deal so he might look elsewhere. Anderson reported to have been offered a deal. Is Hoban the only other player out of contract? I’m not sure if he’ll be offered one and if he is if he’d even what to stay on or move back down south.

I think Logan, Taylor, Devlin and Leigh all need to leave at the end of the season. All remnants of the McInnes era.

I think Glass could get Hoban performing to his best so would keep him. Get Declan Gallagher in and another CB (Anton Walkes?). Drop Considine to the bench and play Mackenzie ahead of him at left back. Get a new right back. I really hope Hernandez comes back.

He's injured. May make last game of the season but unlikely. 

Was very critical of Sheerin's training and pinned that as the cause of his injury.

I think Niall would snatch your hand off for a one year deal right now.

Why do you really hope Hernandez comes back? 

And anyway if you were him would you want to come back? 

Best for both parties to move on.

He might but then I wouldn’t be offering him the same money he’s on just now and next season of Hedges is fit I’d see Mcginn as a back up player. The likes of Hearts might just throw money at him and offer him a longer contract and more game time.

They'll offer McGinn a 4 year deal at 5k a week knowing them.

I don't think he was given a fair chance under McInnes. Cormack mentioned in his interview a few weeks ago that the formation McInnes was using didn't suit Hernandez hence why he didn't feature.

He must have something about him if he's featured so often for the Venezuelan national side and has been previously instructed to mark Messi when playing Argentina.

My money is on us never seeing him back here again. 

He'll quietly move to Atlanta (or somewhere else in the Americas) for an undisclosed fee next January once he's been properly forgotten about over here and everyone's attention has moved on to other things.
