    Marcondes or Maolida

    In a fantasy world where we are somehow able to sign one (only one not both 🤣) of Marcondes or Maolida permanently in the summer.

    Who are you choosing and why?

    Marcondes every single day of the week - he’s simply a superb all round footballer.

    Maolida is a better player but I think Marcondes would prove more consistent.
    I think Marcondes will be at Hibs next season.

    Since it's fantasy and we wont have either 😀 I'm going Marcondes, he just has that something about him. One of those players I just love to watch.

    I’d say mailoda

    I think we will get another marcondes type

    Mailoda might be the one to get hibs 20plus goals next season

    In this league that gives you a step to third instantly

    See big foreheed.

    Like marcondes and would take him any day of the week but just to go against the grain I’ll say non-lazy mailoda who has been excellent.

    Marcondes. He’s a very good player, but he also has better leadership qualities.

    Marcondes has more talent than any player we've had since McGinn. Obvious choice really.

    If they make a big enough impact until the end of the season, I think both will be here next year (if they want to be)

    Bigger budget is promised and all the talk of better quality players.

    Well you have two tried and tested players, it would be the easiest signings ever to back up the talk

    I don’t think folk appreciate the wages these guys will be on at their parent clubs.

    If we keep one it will be unprecedented. Fingers crossed…

    I think its a very hard choice, i think theyre both absolute quality and probably the first time in a long time we have two players who would regularly start for the rangers or celtic.

    This is my worry, surely Celtic and Rangers will be looking at them. Marcondes in particular who they’ll be able to pick up on a free

    Would have to be Maolida simply because he could get us alot of money if we were to sell him in 18 months with his age.

  16. #15
    Maolida is clear. And will only improve. No brainer. Could get 10 million for him if we signed him.

    Maolida under a new Head Coach.

    He's too good to be stuck away out on the left touchline. Monty doesn't have a clue

    I think he’s looked more effective on the left and is more involved in the game from there. Decent through the middle as well but most of his good stuff has been from the left when he gets more space and can run at folk.

    Of the two I’d probably keep him, I think he’s score us 20 odd goals next season.

    That's his position mate.

    They are both superb players and having them next season would see us in a good place. If I had to choose it would be Marcondes. He's a leader and 100% commitment. I loved the way he was encouraging the crowd to make more noise the other night.

    He’s been a lot better from the left than when he’s played through the middle

    Tough choice out of the 2 but think I’d go with Maolida

    Marcondes wouldn’t say it’s even close, maolida looks a player I think he has more he can give though maybe not all down to him and more about the length of time he’s been out the game but he’s not got me desperate to keep him so far

    Marcondes is one of the best players we’ve ever been lucky enough to have.

    He wants to play left. Maybe the player is clueless too? Monty clueless? Dearie me.

    Marcondes, he is a better player, more intelligent and when he gets up to speed, and a decent pre season in him he will only get better

    At this moment in time I find it impossible to choose.

    Interesting stat - Marcondes has had 9 shots at goal and 100% of them have been on target.

    Maolida for me.

    Less consistent than Marcondes but has an x-factor, an unpredictable ability to provide match winning moments that doesn't come around all that often at our club.

    They're both great players tbf and it's a tough choice.

    Imagine how good they could both be if we managed to sign a couple more players of a similar standard to play alongside them too?

    Both are quality players though I think we needed a Marcondes type player more .
    Marcondes for me .
