Bet Atletico really regretted getting Courtois on loan...

[blackpoolhibs]

A season loan for a good quality keeper is fine in my opinion, as someone else posted. Tim Krul and Kasper Schmeichel were very good young keepers who were always going to make a good career in the game, but needed to play games because they were not ready to play at the level of club they were at.

And also a one season loan is just like a 1 season signing, which is a lot better than a 3 or 6 month one.

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.

Maybe, just maybe.

[Jamesie]

The question really has to be whether he is so much better than Alan Combe and whether that differential in quality is worthy of his wage or whether that money could be better spent elsewhere. Remember, many keepers tend to have their best years post-30.

Overall I am not a fan of loan signings from the English leagues. Too often than not we seem to get big-time-charlies who think they are are better than they actually are, with no affection or attraction to Hibs whatsoever, and indeed maybe an underlying resentment that they haven't broken into the first team at their parent clubs.

I would rather a permanent deal for a goalkeeper.

Yea it certainly didn't work well for Athletico Madrid last season

[.Sean.]

I want us to sign the best players we possibly can for each position and if that means a younger guy on loan for a year who is a superior player to someeone we could sign on a permanent deal then so be it. To me its a no-brainer.

[lord bunberry]

I don't mind getting a goalkeeper on a year long loan either, but a year long loan is not the same as a 1 year contract. A loan player knows he's going back to his club at the end of the loan period, certain players just don't put in 100% whilst on loan as we've seen before. A player on a 1 year contract is more likely to want to impress to get a new contract or a move elsewhere.

Agree totally.

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.

You would agree that we'll have a better chance of promotion if we have a better quality goalkeeper, wouldn't you?

This.

It is obvious a significant fall in income/STs plays it's part in what we can do for players - the owners will most definitely not finance signings - and thus we will IMHO not make many permanent signings.

Maka was a permanent signing IIRC, though if he did return to Chelsea it would have only been to amuse a waiting throng of players and coaches excitedly asking him : " Well Maka me old son, did those daft Jocks REALLY believe you are a keeper" ? "Did they REALLY" ? Cue much guffawing.

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!

Well said

That's the way it is and therefore, the death of the hibs brand because the current incumbents are clueless! I'm definitely not buying one nor renewing my kids ones!

I am well disappointed at the latest attempt to fool us into parting with well earned cash for a pile o ****!

[Bishop Hibee]

Bottom line is I don't really care if he is a loan or not as long as he is good. If we get him it will give Stubbs a season to sort out a keeper on a permanent deal for the 2015/16 season. Assuming all goes well with Stubbs of course

As was mentioned on the Hibs Club Open Day thread. Tell us something we haven't heard before.

Love making out you are in the know BMD don't you?

Can you confirm you have connections within Hibs/Agents/Players/Press or do you just go through the internet picking up rumours and pass them on?

I dont know what else we expect given our circumstances. This is a guy thats an EPL keeper, trains with EPL players, has experience in a higher league than we are in yet we are still moaning when we haven't seen him play! Lets see what he can do for us before writing him off

Also worth pointing out that he may be as good as we can get just now, which may not be good enough for SPL which is Stubbs' target. Therefore a loan suits us as well as Hull.
