    Porteous - best academy player since...?

    Can't think of anyone with as much to his game at such a young age.

    Brown didn’t start off at our Academy but his transfer fee helped build it .
    Pre academy we had Deeks , Gary O and Fletcher. Before them I’d say Kevin Harper and before him we had John Collins .

    Lewis has been a wonderful servant and great pro but Porteuos is something very special.

    Agree with what others have said re Lewis. I just feel that being the first player to win both cups with Hibs, makes him something really special. Add in the 9 year gap as well. I'm one of those who 5/6 years ago felt we could do better....but I can't fault him now

    We'll see. He want pants against Dundee and Kilmarnock recently. He's a long way to go.

    I think he is better than Aberdeen's Scott McKenna and he is being quoted as a multi million pound player.

    If he isn't better right now then he soon will be.

    I like signings that turn out great but for me bringing your own youths through is the best feeling.

    McKenna also has two and a half years on Porteous.

    You just like disagreeing with people. You are obsessed with it.

    Thought he was outstanding today, a couple iffy moments this season but every player will make a mistake and playing regularly will only help him improve.

    Well I definitely disagree with you about the Dundee game, as he was one of only two players I would have given pass marks to.

    We will sell him for a club record fee. He’s a massive massive hibee too.

    No chance yet, one exceptional game but has made a lot of mistakes this season. The best thing about him being played every week is that he is learning from those mistakes. As someone else said McKenna has 2 years on Porto if this is how much he can develop in 6 moths imagine where he will be in 2 years!

    I’m a big fan of McKenna can see him and Porto and Souttar (tin hat on) at the back for Scotland for years to come.

    Genuinely not just saying this because he plays for Hearts but I really don’t see it with Souttar. Souttar is exactly the way Efe is imagined by other teams fans. Makes absolute howlers of mistakes far too frequently.

    Every bit as good a player as Kieran Tierney for Celtic. He's majestic, he reminds me of the James McPake we had on loan but with better positioning. Ferocious in the tackle, vocal, fearsome and a warrior.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    For me, Porteous has the shirt and can be considered an automatic at the back.

    This might very well be McGregors ( a player who has been magnificent for us) final season for us.

    Am I right in saying he’s recently signed a 5 year deal..? Fantastic prospect and looking forward to watching him develop..

    We might get tested with an Offer in January But don't see it being enough to temp us and he is a Hibby and knows he is still learning the game so he will be happy to stay with us Thankfully
