Game was too quick for him tonight. Fenlon should have taken him off earlier. I have high hopes for him when he gets upto speed with the SPL

And how long do you normally stand by players for? 45 mins, 90 mins, maybe 2 games if they are lucky? Player moves to new country (make that new continent!), has limited English and you've written him off after a few games. Congratulations. :rolleyes:

Fenlon hyped the guy up in the paper - that made me think he was going to be special 'cos they don't normally do that. Still not going to write him off yet but then I don't take as much pleasure as some do in saying "I've said all along, since day 1 that X wasn't good enough".

i think the problem lies in that the last couple of games hes played have pretty much passed him by, i do think the hoof ball is a shock to his system and how little time you get on the ball.
He can pick a pass and has got skill, but again today he just seemed a little lost on what he was supposed to be doing

Might be advisable to reset you attitude for the battle in progress - not for the faint-hearted.

What hype and from where? He's got a nick-name and was on trial with Rangers but didn't close the deal if there was a deal on the table. Apparently impressed the management enough to get and terms and accept.

Fair enough - who has come in to such a role at Hibs and made an immediate impact? Zouma and Latas were one offs and I cant recall if it was an instant impact. Coming in to a team who's quality is at best variable, protection is at times non-existent and is LOW on confidence isn't exactly conducive to pulling the strings it'll take time that we probably dont have.

I was puzzled and surprised to hear that he had been subbed and fair-dos you attended the game so have a much better insight from today's match.

Just think you're jumping the gun a little.

Hang in there hopefully we'll start to see a difference.

We've certainly not had the breaks. Motherwell are beginning to fire on all cylinders - the abandoned game they were on a bit of a dip and I think had a few players out. Thats the way it is at the bottom however.

Carlsberg we can't expect players from abroad to hit the ground running in the helter skelter of the SPL? Surely?! He has played 2.5 games, no complaints about him until tonight. If he takes 4-6 games to get fully up to speed that still gives us 9-11 games were he can play a vital role. We win 5 games out of the rest we stay up.

In January it was crucial to sign guys who would hit the ground running. Few if any have done so.

TBF to Claros, if Hibs were sitting 3rd or 4th like they should be, his form wouldn't be an issue. As it is, we desperately need some of these signings to get results NOW.

I know some will say we should keep calm and so on, but the run we are on is shocking and if Fenlon is going to prove the doubters wrong, he needs some of these signings to start winning us league games before it is too late.

LancashireHibby
23-02-2012, 01:14 AM
I know there are mitigating factors and I'm certainly not writing the guy off, but Claros was dreadful tonight. His first touch was abysmal and he got caught in possession so many times it was unreal. I hope it's just a case of him still adapting to the SPL and he'll settle soon enough.

And only abuot 5 years ago I first laid eyes on oneAamaduo Konte playing against those world giants Vale of Leithen and suggested that the guy was maybe a bus driver, or a joiner, but that he would never be a footballer..

From where I was sitting he looked a player - didn't play that well, but looked a player. Comfortable on the ball and aware of what is going on. Fitness is questionable and if he has room for improvement stamina-wise, we have a playmaker. For someone who can't speak English there were several occasions when he was yabbing to other players!

I think that after 2 games it is unfair to suggest he isnt up for it, this guy has to adjust to living far from home and into our style and 2,3 or 4 matches will not let us see the full picture. I would suggest 8-10 games and then lets look at it, however.................

If I was signing players I would not have signed a player that may take time we do not have timejust now to wait and see if they come good, I may have opted for a player with SPL or Scottish experience. PF may think he was ready to slot in right away. I will not doubt his ability as to soon but maybe Claros is a signing you make when things are in a better place.

BTW not just Claros but every one of those loans need to be doing job also right away not just Claros.

I agree with you on this Carlsberg (finally :wink:). We can't judge a guy on 2.5 games, well we can but people are wrong for doing so. I agree we need results right now but the question is if we give him the time to settle in, he does then plays a blinder to the end of the season is that acceptable? I state that it is a big IF and he may never settle.

Lets give him time - Two managers can't be wrong about a player (Sally & Paddy)

23-02-2012, 08:28 AM
My impression is that he's a technically gifted player who's come from a league where opponents don't have the strength and speed found in the SPL. I'd be concentrating on fitness training for him as I believe he has the skill to do a good job for us.

This is an interesting point. Did PF spot Claros and have him on his list of targets or did we simply swoop after the Huns missed out on him, assuming he is a player if they fancied him? How much did PF actually know about him before signing him?

Completely get what the majority are saying re writing a player off after 3 games but with the predicament we find ourselves in we cant afford passengers in any games from now until the end of the season.

The thing that has struck me whilst watching Claros is his physique. Coming with a nickname like the 'pitbull' I had envisaged a stocky wee character bossing the midfield and getting in and around peoples feet. He's built for floating in the wind.

In the Celtic game on Sunday his first contribution was to foul Scott Brown, I was thinking good - keep at um! He did the opposite, he tried to apologise (several times) Brown told him where to go and bossed him for the remainder of the game. Pitbull he is not.

I agree with you that we shouldn't be signing players that would take ages to settle in. Unfortunately its maybe one of those things that you won't know if he will hit the ground running or take time unless you play him in conpetative games. As for the signing of an spl player I think that was always the plan with the goodwin chase, which didn't come off.

Fwiw I don't think PF knew much if anything about him, other than the rangers trial and the medi hype that came with that. When if became apparent he wasn't gettin a deal there his agent offered him to Hibs for some reason and PF seen it as too god an opportunity not to take a player that comes with his pedigree. I'm sure in the practice games PF saw him in he further convinced him. Also with it being a year loan maybe wasn't just the short short term PF was looking at.

As to the OP I think its far to early to say he's brutal.

I think that after 2 games it is unfair to suggest he isnt up for it, this guy has to adjust to living far from home and into our style and 2,3 or 4 matches will not let us see the full picture. I would suggest 8-10 games and then lets look at it, however.................

If I was signing players I would not have signed a player that may take time we do not have timejust now to wait and see if they come good, I may have opted for a player with SPL or Scottish experience. PF may think he was ready to slot in right away. I will not doubt his ability as to soon but maybe Claros is a signing you make when things are in a better place.

BTW not just Claros but every one of those loans need to be doing job also right away not just Claros.

Its daft to right the guy off at this stage though he looked miles off the pace last night. He looked ok in the Dons game but unfortunately, in our situation, we can`t wait 8-10 games for him to settle in. Lets hope he gets up to speed quickly.

I've not been overly impressed with him but there has to be a player there and he has joined a team in a country where he does not speak the language, sittling joint bottom of the league so i'm happy to give him a bit of time to settle in and get to grasp with the language, football pace, style etc before saying he's c**p or a good player for us.

It's like Osbourne, he was pretty poor his first few games but i think he is a terrific player, i think those 2 and Stevenson could make a good midfield. :thumbsup:

Claros was excellent and got better as the game went on. He's the type of player that allows others to play, and was right up with the pace of the game today - expect good things from him in the next few weeks.

I thought the same and felt that once he got properly match fit we would really see how good he was! :agree:

Suspect that is two or three games at least away from match fit yet but it seems that even now he is achieving a level that is higher than a lot on here anticipated! :wink:

25-02-2012, 08:50 PM
First games he looked to have the touch and vision way above SPL standard and a lot of bite - his ball retention and ability to bring others in looked well above Hibs standard...BUT it was obvious some fitness issues due to lay off and adjusting to spl pace was required as seen by the odd tackle that was mis timed...

He will prove to be the best midfield holder we have had since Frank...or its the beans for me :greengrin....

I was amazed when what I expected to be a till season end deal was announced as 12 month...I wonder if there is a get out clause in this after 6 months :rolleyes:...I hope not

True I was annoyed prob like everyone else that has gone to most games this season and wanted a moan . He apparently played superb today which was good to hear . Shame I couldn't make it today and the highlights I will watch on
