You're right, Jorge claros and Griffiths were a complete disaster.

We should stick to permanent deals like Rowan vine, Michael Nelson and pu kujabi.

Also worth remembering Ryan mcgivern looked alright on loan, was when he signed permanently he turned gash.

Griffiths had a personal attachment to the club and Claros took 6 months to settle in when most loans don't get that long.

Experienced, decent quality goalkeepers at this level exist within our wage range. I feel the loans we've brought in over the past few years bar the exceptions mentioned above have contributed very little.

**MrRobot** · 23-07-2014 09:49 AM

I would rather a permanent deal for a goalkeeper but it may work out in our favour.

Top post.

Hopefully we can bring this guy on, give him games and experience, hopefully, we can raise his profile and value to his parent club too.

To be fair, its the loans that have masked our decline at times and our inability to replace these good players. Filling key positions with loans is a huge risk IMO. If it pays off and said loan player is good then the chances are that all we are doing is putting them in the shop window which means we cant secure them. There have also been a few rubbish loan signings of late. If we are building for the future, loans, IMO, are not the way to go as you are either constantly trying to replace them when they go back to their parent club if they are a success or trying to tie them down to a deal which doesnt always happen.

Re your point about permanent signings, is that not because the managers were gash choosing these players?

If we dont want to be constantly re building then loans need to stop, that said there isnt a lot of loans in the squad at the moment, but GK is a position I think we should try and keep consistent so I think I signed GK would have been the best option.

McPake is another

**spike220** · 23-07-2014 10:16 AM

and............A reality check people........If we get this guy on a one year loan we will have one of the best (if not the best GK) in the league, get a grip people, he is an EPL Goal keeper, just what were we expecting, something better than this???

I will be delighted if this is confirmed!!

A massive coup for Hibs!

And maybe, just maybe, he can help us get out of the league in the one season we have him.

Then we may be able to offer a longer term deal to someone better than we could currently attract.

***lucky*** · 23-07-2014 10:26 AM

Don't know much about him but he has decent pedigree. As for loan keepers, Kasper Schmeical and Tim Krul both came on loan to Scotland to gain exprience and it has not have harmed their careers or many people saying how bad they were when they played up here.

**hibs4life** · 23-07-2014 10:27 AM

Sounds promising.
But when are we going to realise the make up of the squad will be a mix of permanents and loanees for this season and the foreseeable future. It's even the way in the EPL. Hopefully the loan players will supplement the squad with some additional quality and so long as they pass that quality threshold, then I can't see it as a problem.
Still, I'm sure there are others who will continue to see it as such...

Anyone can make one save. Even Simon Brown in the Cup-tie at Ibrox? But it's better he kept it out than let it in.

However, the guy's 24, played a lot of games for Oldham in League One last year, and seems to have done well. Hull think enough of him to be holding on to his registration while putting him out on loan. He's #4 behind McGregor, Harper and Jakupovitch at Hull - all more than 'decent' keepers. They recalled him from Oldham in March when McGregor was injured, so Bruce seems to have been happy enough with him as a back-up keeper for the last couple of months of the EPL season. He certainly doesn't seem to be out of Bruce's plans for the future.

I don't think we can be reminded too often - right now we probably don't have a lot of cash to put about. Better to spend what we have on wages than signing fees to players and agents, IMO. In a loan deal all we pay is the player's wages - or a proportion of them, depending on the deal.

The laddie has a reasonable background and hopefully will do well if we close the deal.

What is our wage range ?

Very quick reactions, I watched the replay six times to get an appreciation of what a good save it was. The ball was hit hard, low and quick and it came from nowhere. I don't think too many SPL keepers would have got near that.

...from 1956.

A loan deal is not ideal but as long as he player is contented with the money then why not.

TBH it's purely just a person preference with goalkeepers. I always feel that a goalkeeper is somebody who should be a loyal player at the club, there for a long time as I tend to find goalkeepers tend to get better with age. Would hate to see a keeper come in, do really well and then go back to his club.

That said, if we attract a better standard of keeper on loan than on a permanent basis then im all for it.

**E10 Rifle** · 23-07-2014 10:48 AM

Goalkeeper is one position that definitely does work in terms of loan signings. There are lots of very good keepers out there battling for one starting spot so loans for them are an obvious part of their development. He'll have been kept out by two international keepers at Hull last season and playing for Oldham all season would be as good a standard as the lower half of the Premier League last year. So I would have no hesitation in saying this guy will be of good enough standard for us.
