Malonga

[SanFranHibs]

Can't see a thread on this! If there is apologies and Admin please delete!!


In June 2011 Cesena acquired Malonga outright for €1.4 million (made Cesena booked €650,000 financial cost for the bonus as the reserved €750,000 for the another half was not enough) He also signed a new 3+1 year contract. However the club relegated at the end of 2011–12 Serie A, which saw Malonga left on loan to other clubs for the rest of his contract.

Malonga scored a total of 10 goals whilst on loan in Serie B for Vicenza and on 2 September 2013 he joined Real Murcia on a season-long loan.

Malonga was released by Cesena on 24 July 2014.

Hibernian[edit]

On Monday 1 September 2014, Malonga began a two week trial at Hibernian. The Edinburgh side require a new striker following a serious injury to Farid El Alagui

[IanM]

Nah nah nah nah nah Malonga (la bamba)

Get him signed

[Jones28]

Great name. Sign him

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Hes on wikipedia get him in now

[R'Albin]

Again, hardly prolific at his previous clubs. We definitely need a bigger striker, but this still leaves a lot of weight on the shoulders of Cummings/Sinclair/Heff.

[Leithenhibby]

4 days into his trial period, mmmmm let me think about it :wink:

True altho having a quick look he was behind Adrian Mutu for a season so maybe a good reason why he didn't play/score as often as he wanted..

[R'Albin]

Good point. I guess I should have also factored in that a lot of his appearances may have been from the bench.

[Hibbyradge]

95% of the fans want him.

Get it done, Stubbsy!

[IanM]

Good point. I guess I should have also factored in that a lot of his appearances may have been from the bench.

And I imagine scoring against Raith, Cowdenbeath, Dumbarton when playing from the start should be a lot easier than AC Milan, Juventus, Inter etc from the bench..

Should be!! But taking nothing for granted with Hibs at the moment! Interesting trial nonetheless

I think the standard of opposition may have slightly better at his previous clubs. Stubbs will make the correct decision imo. A2 week trial seems pretty long. Maybe it is hibs intention to sign him in time for the Cowdenbeath game?

Dominique Sossorobla Malonga (born 8 January 1989) is a French born Congolese footballer who plays as a striker.[1] Malonga is currently on trial with SPFL Championship side Hibernian.

The three scenarios are probably

Stubbs doesn't fancy him and he's away
Stubbs does want him and Rod is negotiating with the lads agent
He has already signed and Hibs are waiting for the best moment to make the press release to try and increase gate revenue for the next home match.

First two points taken but giving away 7k tickets for the next home game won't help increase revenue I'm afraid. :wink:

[scoopyboy]

To be clear it's on the rumour mill section of the Scotsman, ie it could easily have been lifted from here.

I am making enquiries to see if anyone is on trial.

Might be more in Evening News today, eg quote from Stubbs that he is actually here.

With the chance of bringing in Ocheba, Malonga and O'Dea, we could end up bringing in more players than we did in the official transfer window!!

[Future17]

Again, hardly prolific at his previous clubs. We definitely need a bigger striker, but this still leaves a lot of weight on the shoulders of Cummings/Sinclair/Heff.

Surely the more sensible approach is for Cummings/Sinclair/Heff to go on the shoulders of a big striker and not the other way around?!? What on Earth are we working on in training?!?

[California-Hibs]

Heard any info yet regarding Malonga Scoops?

[scoopyboy]

Heard any info yet regarding Malonga Scoops?

There is a large coloured fellow who was at training earlier this week, didn't take part in the double session however.

The players think it is Malonga but they weren't introduced to him.

As a by the way Dylan McGeogh is flying in training, lets hope he can carry it onto the park.

[Paloschi]

I follow Italian football very closely and Malonga would be a bit of a coup.

Made a bright start in Serie A with Cesena in the 2010/11 Season and has been doing well on loan at some Serie B clubs.

He is not an out and out striker though but is someone who can play behind, wide or with another striker alongside him. He is quite physical but has good pace and great technique. Could be a great foil for Cummings and Heffernan.

I'm surprised he is even on trial however Stubbs did say he like to look at players '5 times' before signing them so he clearly wants a look at him.

Could that mean there's no deal or to protect the identity of the player, not that it's worked.

Coloured ? Pink blue green, come on is there any need for language like that. If he's black say black but surely the colour of his skin is irrelevant

[Juice-Terry]

OK mate, what are you confused about?

Maybe I misunderstood you, but isn't it strange that he's training with Hibs without being introduced to the other players?

I didn't say he was training, I said he was at the training but didn't take part in the double session.

However in the past trialists have been at East Mains and played in a bounce game and none of the players knew who they were.

It's more a case of here is Bob who is playing today. The only thing you could bet on is his name isn't Bob!!!

[Ronniekirk]

Could that mean there's no deal or to protect the identity of the player, not that it's worked.
Or could be he impressed so much that he was immediately whisked away for signing talks with Leeann which will be announced if deal can be worked out as we need to factor in worst case scenario that we may need this person for whole season if set back with Farid .

[scoopyboy]

Coloured ? Pink blue green, come on is there any need for language like that. If he's black say black but surely the colour of his skin is irrelevant

I thought that was politically correct as well.

I'm sure if I said he was black somebody would say I shouldn't be using that term as I'm a racist.

Have to agree with this. Not for a second did I consider Scoopyboy's post in any way racist.

[J-C]

I find someone having a go at Scoops using the word coloured very poor indeed, to attempt to turn this into a racist post is disgraceful and should merit the poster being kicked just for even suggesting such a thing. In no way is using the term "coloured" seen as racist, get a ******g grip.

Exactly scoops, you are scared to open your mouth these days without some politically correct person jumping in trying to prove something or other.
I used to call black guys black, thinking that was fine. Then I got told that's racist and I should call them coloured, which I did, then got told that was racist and they should be called black.
FFS it's only a way of describing distinguishing someone and not a racist thought in the head.

[IanM]

Unfortunately in this day and age the term 'coloured' is deemed racist, black however, isn't

But to try pull Scoopy up for this is just madness.

A simple correction would have been appropriate

[SRHibs]

Let's be honest, it clearly wasn't intended as a racial epithet, but for all those saying how not racist it is, it's not really up to us what should/shouldn't be deemed racist. The person and group being categorised as "coloured" should be making that call. I do agree that intentions are important, but there is potential to offend regardless of the poster's intention.

OT: I'll take any signing at this desperate point, but if it's the same guy talked about in this thread that we're signing, then his record leaves a lot to be desired.

[GreenLake]

Think you can stop Malonga? You must be hitting the bonga.

Although I don't know you personally, I feel sure that are not a Racist:however around 15 years ago, I used the same terminology when describing a rather large and imposing American gentleman (whilst in the good old US of A).

At the time (which was well before the surge in political correctness) my error in judgement was explained as follows.

If the Large and imposing American Gentleman was WHITE, would you have said look at the size of that huge White Guy?
By the fact that I added the word BLACK / COLOURED I was deemed to be singling him out by the difference in the colour of his skin.

I must admit once I thought about it I saw the point and to this day I do my very best not to include colour, assumed country of origin or assumed sexual orientation.

Not a rant or complaint just a statement of what happened to me.

Official site says technically very gifted and quick,looks to get by defenders. Important acquisition to squad,who will hopefully score goals.. So does that mean he isn't an out and out striker ,but you would think official site would be more upbeat then say hopefully score goals ..

The reason the word 'coloured' might be deemed racist might stem back to the evil days of South African apartheid. There was racial segregation there, and 'coloured' people (people of mixed race) were allowed to vote where as black people weren't, so in a warped way, 'coloured' and 'black' meant 2 completely different things.
Anyway, I think Malonga looks like a good signing. He has good credentials too, but it'll be interesting to see where he plays when El Alagui comes back; maybe just behind the front 2. Interesting signing.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Well done, Hibs said they were looking at player's outwith the window, looks a good pedigree
