Marciano

[Hibeesmad]

Finally a done deal apparently.

£100k plus a 50% sell on clause.

Imagine it will be announced over the coming days

Nice one :aok:.
The translation is a bit weird but the important thing is appears we have signed Marciano.
A good spot by yourself.
Fingers crossed for a quality striker signing next!

[Man Down Under]

Yes!

Excellent news, and significantly cut price if football manager is to be believed... :greengrin

[dunedinhibs]

woohoo! Great signing, best keeper in a very long time. :thumbsup:

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

Good news. Quality goalkeeper.

[hfc-1875]

Glad we've finally signed him but a 50% sell on clause is a bit much and a fair chunk off any future transfer fee.

Not too bothered about that tbh. Marciano will be 28 in October so I can't see us selling him being sold for big money.

If he was 21 it would be a different scenario altogether.

Goalkeepers can still sell for money even in early 30s. I'd imagine Hibs may be thinking 2 years here and we will let him go for free or extend his stay but 50% is extremely high and suggests his current club expect him to get more exposure in Scottish league and be sold for something.

It isn't, a copy and paste would be nice.

Quite chuffed that we've managed to get him by having the 50% sell on clause. As good as he is I can't ever see him going for much due to his age. Hopefully our number one for a good few years.

[neil7908]

Great news if true. Not too bothered about the sell on clause - the priority is getting quality players at the club and thats what we've done.

Fingers crossed this is official and we'll hear from the club shortly.

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

Potentially quite a clever way to sign players who would otherwise be unaffordable.

A rare case of our proximity to, and exposure to english fitba working in our favour.

A day after MS. Ashdod sold Or Inbrom to Gent, the group also completed the sale of Ophir Marciano to the Scottish Hybranian. After lengthy negotiations, it was agreed that the Ivorian would pay Ashdod 150,000 euros but Ashdod would leave 50 percent of the goalkeeper's ticket so that if Hibernian sold him in the future, Ashdod could exercise its rights.

[ALF TUPPER]

Seeing this news on Twitter but I think the guy takes his info straight off here and claims it as his own breaking news.

Anyhoo. Good news from ER, if accurate. GGTTH

28 is not old for a Goalkeeper.
Probably has a possible 8 years at a top level.

If he does well....Clubs will pay good fees for a proven international Goalkeeper.

Cant think of a time when a goalkeeper at nearly 30 has went for good money in Scotland.

[Heisenberg]

When was the last time we actually sold a goalkeeper on for good money? I can't remember it happening recently!

If we think he has the potential to be an excellent keeper in the future, then I'm sure his current club do to.

It's a case of we pay £100k and give away a 50% sell on clause or we don't get him at all. What would you rather?

We've had 20 years of **** goalies though. I'd imagine that's the reason why it's not happened.

[weecounty hibby]

100k for an apparently 2m rated keeper. If we we him for 2m we have signed a very good keeper and made 900k. What's not to like

Can he play upfront ?

Quality signing.

Fair enough but that was for a guy who has Champions League, Europa League, English Premier League experience, far more international caps ans has experience of playing for a relatively big club in Britain.

Marciano is a great signing but we ain't gonna be selling him on for big money so the sell on clause is irrelevant in my opinion.

[Ritchie]

Very very important signing! Delighted!

[oneone73]

That's three goalies we've signed this window. Almost enough for a school!

[The Leith Dutch]

Surely not really that much of an issue surely?

I'd be happy with 100k for a goalkeeper of that quality as it means that our first choice defence is very probably the best in the league outside Celtic. And if we do sell him on then if we got £200k we make our money back....any more and we make a profit.

The "worst case" scenario would be the extremely unlikely one where he plays such an absolute blinder some EPL club drops £5 million on him and we "only" make a £2.4 million profit. I can live with that :)

Maybe that's the only way we could afford a deal

[EH54]

I doubt Hibs would have liked to give away 50% either but I'm just over the moon we have signed him and have a stable keeper for the future. I also think with the 50% Hibs are less likly now to sell him on the cheap if he does do well.

[mcfly]

Great news - now all we need are 2 goalscorers

Anyone heard anything about who we are likely to sign?

I think the players start back today. Is anyone hiding in the bushes at EM to see if they can spot any new signings/trialists we haven't heard about yet? :greengrin :flag:

[SouthMoroccoStu]

So hibs are buying an international keeper and hearts are selling old bathtubs and toilet signs....

[ian cruise]

I'd presume it's 50% of any profit rather than whole fee, and if so, actually represents very little risk for us. Given the finances in Scottish football it's a great way to get in players who would potentially be unattainable.

If anything it's reducing the risk for the club that paying the full fee to sign him without such clauses would carry, such as not replicating his loan form or serious injury (God forbid).

[J-C]

£132K isn't a lot for a good international keeper, even if we sell on at say £250K, we still get our money back, no real risk in this deal.

[BSEJVT]

Whilst selling on players will by necessity always have to be part of our make up, I would much rather we had a quality player we couldn't otherwise afford and a reduced potential future sell on fee than not have that player at all.

SJM being another example

It's this type of innovative thinking that has us signing internationals and Hearts signing nobody's

[Hibs90]

Happy with that. Solid keeper however will be tested alot more in the Premiership I'd imagine.

[Sean1875]

Its clear Rocky and his Mrs ( :drool: ) love it here at Hibs/Edinburgh and with them having a kid soon too it could hopefully mean they'll be wanting to stick around here for a good while

[NAE NOOKIE]

This is great if true. Its been ages since we have had a solid keeper who can perform well on a consistent basis and Rocky certainly seems to be in that mould. I couldn't care less if we are unlikely to make money from any sell on, its far more important to have a good stopper.

[Bob Box Fish]

[Mikey]

The most likely scenario is that he'll see out his 2 years and neither Hibs or Ashdod will make any money out of it. And if he signs on again after that he'll (presumably) be ours 100%.

He's going to have to have had a fantastic season for him to be worth selling this time next year and that can only be good for us.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Top drawer keeper.....top drawer signing

I've probably missed it but where does it say he's signing for two years? I assumed he would be getting 3-4 years due to us paying a fee.

I thought I read it somewhere. Even better if it's longer.

You could be right. Even if it's just the two I'll be delighted as he's an excellent keeper.

[TheGreenMan]

Doo doo doo doo....Marciano!

[Dashing Bob S]

By today's standards this steal is an absolute coup by Hibs and Lennon. I know it's a blow to lose a young striking star like Jason, but let's face it, there is no way in the current financial structure of Scottish football that the likes of Ambrose and Rocky should be signing for anybody outside of Celtic. Well done again NL/LD. And Hibs fans - playing in a full stadium must have influenced both players greatly.

[KeithTheHibby]

When was the last time we actually sold a goalkeeper on for good money? I can't remember it happening recently!

We sold one of the Andy Gorams back in 1991.

[SirDavidsNapper]

His performance against Dunfermline last season was the best goalkeeping display I've seen at ER since Leighton days. Huge coup and will earn us a few points next season.

[HFC_NYC]

I know nothing about Israeli football, but why isn't he wanted at his current club? Do they have someone even better between the sticks?

[RossScott1991]

His saves against Dunfermline last season were tremendous, recall point blank double save. His one against Hearts at tynie where he sticks out a foot also.

I rate him, still young also. He doesn't make me nervous which is the main thing.

If only he had scored that header v Aberdeen. Imagine the scenes.

[Ozyhibby]

Great keeper. Our defence is now sorted for next season. Just midfield and forwards to go.

It's very strange, according to Wiki they only have 2 other keepers both of which are Israeli but neither of them have been called up for Israel while Marciano has 11 caps but is loaned out for two seasons and then sold

Maybe a financial issue?

Don't think so.
They have very few revenue streams other than selling players to Europe.
They sold a player to a Belgian club a couple of days ago and Marciano was on loan at a Belgian club with a view to a sale the season before he came to us.
Both Ambrose and fellow Nigerian Oshinwa at Hearts also played for Ashdod.

[Baader]

Really good signing.

[Hibby Kay-Yay]

100k for an apparently 2m rated keeper. If we we him for 2m we have signed a very good keeper and made 900k. What's not to like

so the Locke rumours might be true after all :hmmm:
