Well spotted mate.

Yep hopefully one for the future, that will give us a couple of years to make one of our keepers half decent before he starts to breakthrough into the first-team.:greengrin

Good spot pal.

As usual a youngster chooses the classy side who could offer him more. Maybe he was chucked off the treadmill early like Danny Boy :devil:

And then we can start on this goal-keeper!

[Hibernian Verse]

Does he know what he's in for?

With a few tips and advice from Maka, Brown won't need any help.:greengrin

[Golden Bear]

Looks like yet another case of these hawrts tramps trying to gazump us - I'm delighted they failed on this occasion.

Why can't they just find their own players ffs.?

:greengrin Elias wagner just got released. lucky escape for hibs as he obviously turned out to be a poor player. He must have been rotten if the pub team let him go!

Fingers crossed he'll be a real find - I particularly liked this bit from the article:

"After two days, Hibs also offered him a contract only for Motherwell to come back with a better offer. In the meantime, Hearts said they would more than match anything the other two put forward for his services.
With all three clubs now chasing Calum’s signature Hibs put an improved two-year deal on the table and the teenager accepted"

I wonder what made his mind up for him? Probably a combination of things but I'd bet the superior training facilities have been an influence - who says it was a waste of money now then eh? :bitchy::grr::cool2:

I know Rod is a sex god, but..... plllllease.....

Does that mean if I start training now, I could be making a catalogue of errors for Hibs when I'm 26? :cool2:

Sorry if it's already been posted but it's on SSN and also Hibernian-mad and not seen it mentioned on here yet. 17 year old keeper released by Swindon.

[Spike Mandela]

I reckon Yogi has got a discount on keepers for buying in bulk.

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Have we not signed him because his name is Calum and there was a huge number of Calum's on the list that has been kicking around for ages?

[Captain Trips]

Probably already a thread, we signed this GK for the U19s, on SSN there.

[HibbyAndy]

Nowt wrong signnig the laddie,Obviously has potential and is one for the future.

[davemcbain]

Maybe when Yogi decided to set up a goalkeeping academy, he based the keeper count on the pupil count at Leith Academy?

:greengrin not far away now, I just hope we can pick up another couple of keepers in the next few weeks, ideally at least one who can play right back
