Dominique Malonga

[NikGunnarsson]

Interesting to see an article pop up about him today,
http://drcpf.net/pro-vercelli-plus-rien-ne-marche-pour-dominique-malonga/
Roughly translates to him not working out at Pro Vercelli and getting no game time. If he was released would deffo take him back. Not even for the sentimental value but although some did not see it he really was a class act and would add something else to the team.

If nothing else, it would give us back one of our better songs...

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Moved for reasons which have not changed.

[danhibees1875]

I agree with all 3 points raised. Good player, great song but wouldn't come back to us.

I track his/pro v progress in a half hearted manner, he never seems to get any game time even as a sub these days for a team mostly struggling in seria B.

Cracker of a goal in our Scottish cup run last year.

[Centre Hawf]

Would welcome him back with open arms.

[Waxy]

Do do do

[Bostonhibby]

Would welcome him back with open arms.

Me too, if fit and his heart is in it there has to be a place in a Hibs team for a gifted player who brings a bit of something different and can score the sort of goals he did. Sadly I doubt he'd return.

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

Love the last line of the article.

[Highland_Hibee]

Would love him back but he's not coming back.

I would have him back in a heartbeat.

It won't happen though.

[J-C]

On his day a cracking player but is also a lazy sod on the pitch, not being able to hold down a place in a team in Seria B says it all.

[Salt N Sauzee]

Would love it if he came back. Don't think Lennon would stand for his stroppiness though!

[Smartie]

Our best form since we were relegated (you could probably say our best form over the past 10 years) has come with Dom on form and playing regularly .

If he'd even entertain the notion, I'd be bringing him back and he'd be the first name on the team sheet. We've been lacking something since he left, a certain something that allows you to forgive a bit of nonchalance and moodiness.

He won't come back though so no point in discussing it really.

Seria B is a lot better than this current league we are in which is full of utter dross, different player to Holt but a lot more effective than him and seemed to have a more productive relationship with JC.

[emerald green]

I still say Malonga's goal against Aberdeen in the cup tie at ER was one of the best I've seen at ER.

Nowt lazier than this sort of post. His demeanour may have been laid back but that doesn't mean he was lazy on the pitch.

A class act and still missed for his creativity.

Is there any support in world football so fascinated with the idea of resigning former players as ours?!

More of a general query I guess.

There can't be many, that's for sure.

My mate supports West Ham, I have a wee soft spot for them and sometimes go to their games with him. We often have a wee chuckle about the parallels between our clubs.

The obsession with re-signing former players, and in particular the keen-ness on only having former players as manager is one of many things we have in common (although we've strayed from that with our last few appointments).

ha, so true! It's amazing how players seem to grow in people's opinion when they are away, even if they aren't getting a game for their new clubs! In fact, even when they don't have clubs at times!

You trying to say Deek couldn't still do a job for us? [emoji848]

All opinions Andy, weve discussed this numerous times, on his day a superb player but his day was all too infrequent.

I'd agree in general with the parallels - of the English clubs (not exhaustive or extensive mind) I've visited they were the closest. Tradition of liking to play the game the right way, long suffering support with many of the glory days in the past, overlooked as heads swing to more other prominent clubs.

Re resigning players perhaps we have more of an obsession than most as we develop some gems but just can't hold on to them they go early enough that there's a hope of a return esp if a young player heads down south... O or to clubs they just don't get a lookin.

[ancient hibee]

Cummings and Malonga played well together.Given Cummings has failed to gel with anyone else it shows Malonga's skill level.

[mentalhibee]

Bring back king Dom!

[Pete]

If you watch the Raith highlights, the advertising board by the corner flag says "King Dom".

It's definitely a sign.

I'm confused - an advertising board is a sign as well? :wink:

Would love him back but don't think Lennon would want him, or get the best out of him.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

A year to the day since his outrageous opener against Dumbarton at ER. What a goal [emoji7]

That was a beauty. Doesn't feel like that long ago!

[147lothian]

I would welcome Dom back, and I would see JC benefitting from it too, I don't go with the he was lazy argument that was just his perceived persona, his link up play and goals IMO would be invaluable in the push for promotion

[ancient hibee]

When defenders were in trouble they would constantly look for Malonga to take the ball.Strangely enough this"lazy"player would be available 15/20 yards from the bye line.

When Scott Allan picked up the ball and went to hit teams quickly he didn't look for Jason, Farid, Craig, or even a McGeouch. He looked for Dom because he knew if it was into his feet it was under control and held up long enough to get other folk in play. Good players want to play with good players and both were exactly that (although one showed his true colours). Dom wasn't Lazy, he wasn't a workhorse by any stretch of the imagination, but he was an intelligent player who was at times very frustrating but ultimately a key player at times.

The only thing lazy about him is the tag that some people gave him.

[basehibby]

I would take Dom back no probs but he did leave for a reason - he wanted to be a certain starter in a Hibs team playing in the second tier. I'm not so sure that could be guaranteed for him so have my doubts as to whether a return would be on the cards.

Lazy Sod? Gie yerself a shake.
