Looks like young Tommy Block has impressed in his two trials with Hibs - he is set to sign - https://www.bognor.co.uk/sport/football/non-league/bognor-midfielder-all-set-for-move-to-hibernian-1-8744353

Interesting. Cheers for that Steve. Haven’t heard much about him since he came up here other than the name being mentioned a few times.

[stevebone]

As you will see in his quotes he speaks very highly of how he has been treated while with Hibs so far.

[Diclonius]

Good news. Does this mean we're choosing him over the Canadian guy?

[Pretty Boy]

Be interesting to see how this turns out. One from left field so hopefully it's a success story.

[HoboHarry]

I thought the Canadian was a center back and Block was a midfielder so not sure why would be choosing one over the other?

I was under the impression both could play in defence and midfield. Guessing we'd sign one as a backup for a number of positions but primarily CB.

[stevebone]

Block is very much first and foremost a central midfielder - defensive midfielder. Has filled in at centre back for Bognor because of injuries, but much prefers midfield.

[Souter96Mac]

Love these sort of signings, hope he kicks on here!

[The 90+2]

Enthusiastic over this one. The lad seems to have a good attitude!

Thanks for the updates.

I suspect you won’t know the answer to this one but do you think he’ll be in and ready for the first team or is he likely to be a bit away from first team football at professional level?

[Michael]

Get him in the wall when the opposition get a free kick.

[J-C]

Lots of good players came from non league, Vardy, Bullard, Ings, Austen, Crouch, Smalling.

[Oscar T Grouch]

Sounds like the laddy’s got a great attitude, he knows he has to work hard to succeed as a footballer and seems willing to do so. Look forward to seeing him in a Hibs strip.

[Brightside]

Hes just a wee boy... one for development.

[LustForLeith]

Have we got a song for him yet?

[Hi Heid Yin]

I wish the lad well, but he is at the end of the day one for the "development squad".

I'm much more excited by players that can impact the first team immediately - fingers crossed for the January window.

[blackpoolhibs]

He certainly seems keen to impress, and obviously done good enough to be offered a contract if this is true.

He's also prepared to uproot and move to Edinburgh at a young age, when i'm sure he could probably have picked up a club nearer home.

He must have been impressed with us, and i wish him all the best. :thumbsup:

Because he’s easy come, easy go,
Little high, little low,
Any way the wind blows doesn't really matter to he,...

same tune as the one for David, David Gray

[drumatic44]

Hibees it's a Breeze for Block !!

[Inconsequential]

So Hibs have secured young Block but can he tackle? Any relation to B&Q? :wink:

Lennon will have to keep him on a tight rope - if he doesn't perform he'll get hooked.....

Crouch came through at Spurs did he not?

[TelaStella]

Stick him in goals with a name like that.

He definitely sounds like a shoot magazine story player.

[Hermit Crab]

We got our fingers burnt with Jamie Insall, hopefully this lad has his head screwed on.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

One for the development side or a building block for the future

Yeah ive heard hes a bit of a square so should be ok

Won't be long before he's cemented his place here......

Non League - Les Ferdinand, Jamie Vardy, Ivan Sproule 🙂

[Sergey]

Pub League, eh!

I know the player and he's a good addition - not the best of the Bognor squad, though. Their left back (who's name I can't recall) has been watched by numerous clubs this season.

[makaveli1875]

Its not set in stone yet , he'll have to work for it

TBF, he ‘ll be expected to prove himself in the development side, not the first team.

Ps, well done Tommy.

[heretoday]

He's an absolute brick.

[Winston Ingram]

My Mrs cousins boy is his pal.

Played at school with him and a Portsmouth.

Says he’s a high energy holding midfield player

[J-C]

Crouch came through at Spurs did he not?

Started as a trainee but made no appearances, in the 2 years there he was on loan at Dulwich Hamlet and IFK Hassleholm before signing for QPR.

[eastmainsmsh]

Pink floyd another block in the wall

Tbf I wouldn’t class crouch as coming thru the non leagues but get the point ur making

[CMurdoch]

Well done to the guy to get offered a deal.
No mean feet in itself.
The odds are still stacked against him making it but he seems to have a good attitude and work ethic which will give him a good shot at it.
Good luck Tommy.

[Forza Fred]

Good luck to the laddie.....he had a dream and went for it.

Hope it turns out well.

TBH I didn't think so either at the time but he was on a list of 10 top players who played non league football, wasn't till I checked his wiki did I then realise he was at Spurs but purely as a trainee.

[JohnMcM]

Hes just a wee boy... one for development.

That'll make him a building Block then.
:flag:

Damn it, too late!

[stevebone]

Probably not of so much interest to you lot but here is some reaction at this end to Tommy's imminent move to Easter Rd (basically it leaves Bognor even shorter of players than they were already, so if you have a spare one or two you don't need up there...)

[BullsCloseHibs]

Brandon Block's wee brother?

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

Should be a breeze for him

[Hibbyradge]

Should be a breeze for him

Moving from Bognar to the big city? He'll be bricking it.

[GreenLake]

Might just chip it

[Blaster]

Is this the new kid?

[son of haggart]

Surprised the authorities haven't prevented this signing

[CropleyWasGod]

First of a chain?

I'm going to suggest Rock the Casbah and someone else can put in the effort to turn it into a song.

[Mango Man]

He's still Tommy from the Block. Jennifer Lopez. Sorry everyone.

[judas]

He not just a holding midfielder. I’ve heard there are about 6 sides to his game :-)

[Eyrie]

Now you've hexed him.

[One Day]

Good luck to the boy. I hope it works out well

[Biggie]

Yeah ive heard hes a bit of a square so should be ok

so long as we play him in position, hate him to be a square peg In a round hole...

[Jim Herriot]

Good luck to the boy. I hope it works out well

I don't get it. :confused:


:greengrin

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

His first goal should be a thirty yard screamer hit on the volley. A sweet blockbuster.

[SirDavidsNapper]

Inconsistent waste of a jersey. Needs dropped and sent back to Bognor- thought I'd get in early

[eastmainsmsh]

Craig Levein messaged him on Facebook to see if he would sign but Tommy Block him 🚕

[Famous Fiver]

Asked whether he was apprehensive about joining Hibs he apparently replied

'It'll be a breeze......'
