Interesting one really just didn't work out for the boy.
He seemed to have some sort of pedigree but he just never developed enough, could free up a bit of wage for the young boy from Cowden?

We've signed someone else to replace him, and not the Cowdenbeath lad

Bit rusty on my Finnish, unfortunately.

Anyone care to demonstrate their language skills?

Doesn't mention a fee, signed on a 2-year deal.
Mentions manager believes they will now have the best keeper in that league.

The young polish lad we had on trial, dabrowski I think his name was, only 18

Do we have any other young keepers on the books?

Paddy Martin is the development team goalie, Irish lad we signed in the summer

Can't say that I am surprised. When Logan was brought in from out of nowhere and then started ahead of him that was surely more than a hint about his future long-term.

I wonder now if Marciano was on the bench as we had no other options and that possibly Laidlaw is still just a sitting tennant.

Never got much of a chance, but when he did, he didn't impress. Essentially cost us the tie against brondby

Was a strange signing. We were confident enough to give him 3 year deal so I was expecting him to be pretty decent. Maybe couldn't adjust to Scotland.

Doing very well, but still very young for a goalie. Tam rates him highly, good enough for me

Agreed. He looks the real deal. Hard to really judge a keeper at that age but he looks promising. We are actively working to bring in another young keeper though, if we have not already done so.

As for Otso, shame it never worked out but as soon as he was not selected/asked not to be selected for the Dundee Utd semi I think his days were numbered.

Was a strange one, that brondby game sealed his fate. Never looked confident any time ive seen him so good luck to the guy but I very much trust our new goalkeeping signings under Lennon.

Is this true? What his reasons?

Looked a bag of nerves on the rare occasions I saw him..hopefully he can get the head down and progress at his new club. Tbh Im happy enough with the keeping options we have at the club. First choice and deputy both reliable and have made a difference, haven't felt as relaxed about the keeping position in a long time.

It was something I heard, I hear some pish though so I'm not saying it's definitely true.

Unfortunately any chances he got, he blew.

Inverness away he only had a little while on the pitch and made an arse of one cross, which nearly cost us, and then brondby at home basically chucked one in. Seemed a decent lad but glad we are wanting bigger and better.

His boats were burn't with Stubbs and the Brondby game burn't his boats with Lennon.
Hibs career over.

Shame for the kid but that's professional sport.

The team he has gone to are in the middle of the Finnish top league.
Hope he does well.
