I think @Wheatsheaf said two of the four rejected offers, so I assume they’re Wyke and Hume, as it’s been reported we’re close with McGeady.
Great news if true. Hopefully he gets a shot at playing in midfield.
Fingers crossed. For the love of god if we do keep him then identify his position and play him there. We can't afford to start another season with an imbalanced squad and rely on gap plugging.
For what it's worth for me his best position is CM. I'm convinced that if we play him there alongside quality players he'll thrive.

Excellent news if true, exactly the kind of player we need to keep.
We haven't had one for years and he'll play most games, I agree.
Stick Dan Neil in along side him and the league is ours
Definitely not. Let’s sign a proper leader. O’Nien should be a squad player, not a captain playing most games.
Sounds positive. Make him captain. May not be the most gifted footballer at the club, but puts the hard graft in and is a model professional off the pitch.
hope he stays, if the whole squad had his attitude we would walk this league, still need to see him given a decent run in the middle, hopefully with a couple of good players around him.
If we sign a better leader fair enough but I think O'Nien has it in him. His attitude on and off the pitch is spot on. He is a real grafter on the pitch and he can play as well. His range of passing is very good. He may not be a ranter and raver but I reckon leading by example can be more powerful.
O/9 and Sanderson were the best pairing in defence by a country mile last season, and between them they carried the makeshift full back /wing back combinations for weeks on end. Even so, I would like to see what O/9 can do in mid-field, but would not worry if he is paired up with Sanderson again. I think it all depends on who we get to replace those that have rightly been moved on, and how LJ sees it, those will be the big factors that make or break our season, not where O/9 plays imo.
Those two together were a great partnership. They seemed to want to civer for each other and look after each other all the time. Their games really complemented each other too. O'Nien didnt look the same without Sanderson. If Sanderson came came back I too would have no issue with them pairing up again.
I’d love to know what gives you that conclusion?
ability? One if the best players thus season in the division. (Voted by neutrals as he was in team of the season’)
Drive? Nobody I’ve seen gives more every game
Fitness? Runs as fast after 90 as he does after 5
Attitude?find me a player at any club with a better one
Adaptability? Yeah that’s obviously his weakness I know, I mean he hasn’t played in goal yet
