Edwin De Graaf signs for Hibernian

[M11BMO]

Looks promising...Just the sort of player we need. Looking forward to seeing him in action!

[Dr Jimmy]

Could mean that Yogi is sticking with Wotherspoon at right back......

Nice work - hopefully he can play at right back too

Dinnae worry about a right back.

We will have one in for 1st July at East Mains.

Welcome to the Cabbage Edwin

Looks like a good solid signing, well done the Hibees.

NAC Breda qualified for the Europa last season but got stuffed by Villarreal at the final qualification stage. Edwin de Graaf scored 4 in that competition, including the consolation away goal at Villarreal.

Almost an ever present feature in the league campaign, seems to have missed one game, he scored 6 times.

Seems to have been substituted a few times at the start of last season but completed more games at the end of the season. In the first 25 games he only played the full 90 minutes about half a dozen times, in the final 15 he completed all but 3.

Picked up 5 yellow cards, 1 in the Europa and 4 in the league.

We wore #7.


NAC Breda finished 10th in the league, 1 point short of Europa qualification but a considerable distance from top.

Welcome to Hibernian Edwin...

Hibs sign a player named The Count or The Earl. Now thats Hibs class

[Woody1985]

Looks like a good signing and one I look forward to seeing. Hopefully he can match expectation.

It would seem that the training facility and the stadium are now a real draw for players and that can only be a good thing for the club. European qualification probably helped as well.

Hart to tell.

[YehButNoBut]

Welcome to Hibees Edwin.

His Wiki page has him at 6' 1" at last a big man in midfield, hope he can play a bit as well.

Looks a good signing from the (albeit limited) info and YouTube clips.

Welcome to Hibernian, Edwin.

[MacBean]

6 ft 1!!

Is that not too tall for Yogi!?

[bingo70]

Anyone been on to ask what the Falkirk fans thought of him

[BT58]

certainly looks the part, can play on the left too, also scores with his heid
will this put the hartley thing to bed

[essexhibee]

Im sorry this is a utter useless signing. We need real quality signings such as Craig Bryson or Burton o'brien. These guys have played at a great level with two respectable clubs known for their free flowing football and bursting trophy cabinet.

De Graaf also played a key role in NAC Breda's UEFA Cup campaigns in seasons 2008/9 and 2009/10 scoring 5 goals which makes him the club's all time top scorer in European competition.

IS THAT ALL YOU CAN GET YOGI














. Great signing.

[col02]

Looks a good signing going by the clips from youtube that are posted on this thread. If you take Cregg out for this player in then we have improved the squad and with a right back to be signed soon I feel our squad has improved sufficiently enough to believe we can match last season in terms of points and league position.

[CapitalHibs]

Sounds like a great signing! (Jambos must be sick) Hopefully this will help get more season tickets sold.:notworthy:

[hibees59]

What's going on? We've got the tallest midfield in Scotland and he goes and signs a midget at only 6'1".

Think he's gonna be an earl of a signing, count me in (don't worry I can find my own coat!)

Well done to Yogi and RP. I would imagine other clubs would have been interested in him so it seems to me they deserve praise and well done to the Count for picking the right club. If this keeps up then I'll be hoping I can get along to most if not all games.

[heretoday]

I believe he's a heavy-tackling, progressive type ......

[mutley]

Great news, I was kinda thinking that the Hibs website was being a bit quiet of late, then I read earlier on here that Yogi was back from holiday then BAM, we get hit by this new signing. Roll on next season.

[givescotlandfreedom]

Welcome to the Hibees!

[ionahibby]

Sounds like a good signing in a yogi we trust well done to hibs for keeping all card close to their chest stops these west coast papers reporting rubbish!

[Leith Green]

This will be the Dutch central midfielder I posted I heard we had signed about 2 weeks ago ..

[essexhibee]

Let's hope he doesn't turn into another J.J: decent pedigree but nae legs anymore

Great signing on paper, well done to Yogi and everyone.

The prospect of Michael Hart (hopefully), Wotherspoon and de Graaf making triangles down our right hand side really is exciting
