...well sort of. Maybe not really but an interesting Pre Champions League final mention of Hibs

Apologies if the link doesn’t work. Or if you don’t think Brandon is better than Ronaldo

My boy just came in from fitba training and said I should Google it; interview with Alexander-Arnold (who's in the England WC squad) is in several papers. Says he had a nightmare against Brandon who he described as an "unbelievable" player. Hibs get a few mentions, including in the Liverpool Echo.
Must be a nice boost for Brandon's confidence to read that kind of compliment from an opponent about to play in a Champions League Final & World Cup!

Loved watching him. He'll have a good career. Will learn the game more, off the ball runs and a better end product and become a class player.

People on here often talk about players benefitting from staying at Hibs for another year, people have said it about Mcginn, Mcgeouch, Cummings and many others in recent years and normally I completely disagree but in Barkers case I think he’s one that would genuinely benefit from staying at hibs another season. He’s just been coming onto a game recently, he’s alreasy at a massive club in Man City so moving to the wrong club now could set his progress back years. Imo another year to work on his consistency would do his career the world of good and he could get a really excellent move next summer, move now and he’ll likely get a lower end championship club which I personally don’t think would suit his style.
Incidentally I wonder if him and that Liverpool full back are mates and he’s called in a wee favour getting him to name drop his name into conversation 🤔

Good to hear Barker getting this kind of compliment but, really, it’s not the sort of thing we want his parent club or potential suitors to be hearing as well. The more publicity he gets, the more likely he will be out of our reach.

He’s that good he could get a game for Man City, why not? He’s unplayable if used as a sub last 20 mins

If we can get him back for 1 more year he’s going to set the league alight IMO. A lot of folk have been keen to highlight his flaws ... which is the Scottish way of course but I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone wouldn’t want him back- absolute joy to watch and a very rare talent.

Guys unbelievable, still can't believe we got him! Tore teams apart, especially the Jambos and Rangers. So much pace and quick feet!

Also, if he buys shoes for £2k what has that got to do with anything other than making it sound like you're jealous? You probably buy shoes for £50 like the rest of us, it's just relative.

Another absolute topper of a post midnight post from MH. What does being Scottish, or not, have to do with how we judge Barker? What, for that matter, does the price of his shoes have to do with anything?
Must we fill our team full of clodhoppers who shuttle about the place for 90 minutes non stop hurling into opposition players? There's another team in Edinburgh specialising in that "guid honest hacking Scottish laddie" style of football if that's yer bag...............
No one was remotely comparing him, or his achievements with us, to those of Arthur Duncan??
All very strange. Anyway, I think he's great. Opposition players hate that combination of pace and control and a fair few players have been left feeling like yon Liverpool lad this season. I think consistency and 1 more season here would see him becoming more or less a first choice and really bring his game on under Lennon.
I really hope it happens.
