We bemoaned a lack of squad depth previously, under Moyes. Now it's good we have that.
On the other hand, are these players in question here fit enough anymore? Are they ever likely to be?

How much in wages are those 5 costing us?
Gibson and Osman are players Martinez obviously sees some value in when fit. I wouldn't be surprised if either got a one year deal.
Hard to tell with Oviedo. Hibbert and Pienaar I can't see playing for us again.

It's a valid question mate - Kone could very easily have been on that list and look at him now.
Having said that his contract extension doesn't bode well for the lads above.
Reckon with Oviedo it might go down to what Martinez has planned with Garbutt.

3 of them are certainly young enough to play for at least another season if they're physically able if we need them. Like I said the only way the can be judged is through the next part of the season.
I expect at last two to get extended deals myself.
My portion is about $7.50 every 6 months

Nonsense. Not one of them have anything to offer the first team.
Gibson pay as you play
Oviedo so unlucky it's not true. 12 months with an option.
Hibbert and Osman to coaching staff
Pienaar just needs to be let go. Seems to be physically incapable now.

with such an influx of youngsters coming through, giving any of these a contract seems a bit pointless. It's a big part of the squad, but they hardly ever play any minutes because most of them are injury prone now. I'd like to see oviedo stay, but it's not a massive necessity. Osman still gets game time every now and then, but i reckon there will be one or two youngsters available to do that job.

Basically, why would we want to hold back any of these? They all seem fairly highly rated, yes they're young, but what do any of those players do bar the odd the hour in a cup match? Perfect development for them at their ages.

I think right now it is time to start giving some of these spots to academy members. We've done well bringing up youth in the back. I'd like to see some guys be more involved with the first team.
Osman- I think he's done but if you feel you still want some true evertonian leadership, I'd be fine with him signing for cheap and be happy with maybe some cup matches but not much else. Just be there behind the scenes helping.
Hibbert-He has to retire. He wants to just fish anyways.
Pienaar- What I would give to add a prime Pienaar in our current lineup. Coleman and Gerry on the right with Bainaar on the left and Lukaku up top and Barkley roaming and doing what he wants. That would be so good. But his legs won't let him play. One of my favorites from that generation.
Gibson-Martinez likes him, but he can't stay healthy and is not great off the pitch. I don't want him back but you don't know.
Oviedo-I wouldn't mind signing him but he may get more elsewhere because I'd only pay him as a back up.
