Great news, sounds like he is just what we need!

Now to get in a winger as cover for Boyle and a recognised striker. Then we are good to go! Happy with our window so far :aok:

Did Gauld also not say the club had prepared a presentation for him? By the sound of it, not many others take the time to do that when pursuing signings.

Still haven’t quite concluded if it’s a Hibby or Jambo who’s having the laugh??

He did. They don’t have the standard mention of facilities these days. Now obviously instructed to mention the presentation!

Aye, I thought it was a Hibby but then the bit about us cementing 7th place put some doubt in my mind. Lol.

Sorry if mentioned already but Stephane was saying the club sent him a presentation showing the clubs history and how he would fit in etc. It may very well be what all clubs do but very impressive nonetheless.

I wonder if it included "Sunshine on Leith" and parade for 2016 cup final. :greengrin

Great interview - Stephane sounds really excited about joining Hibs - great job the club for selling it like you should - and I love his words here ....

I would say to the supporters that I am someone who likes to go box to box, to run hard and tackle.
“I am all about helping the team. I’ll give everything I have to do that.
If he can emulate his words then I think he would play an important role in our team these next few months - we have attacking and defensive midfielders - the midfield has to have (is?) an engine room though .....
Loving the photo as well - he looks like he's home already - welcome to the Hibees Stephane :thumbsup::flag::flag::flag:

If he's highly rated as per the reports and currently in the Genoa first team squad why are they willing to loan him out? Doesn't add up.

He maybe is highly rated but just not good enough yet to break into their first team every week and he wants games? Same could be said for a couple of our younger players

While there’s no shame in not being good enough for Genoa, he’s coming up 23. I’m not sure it’s a case of not being good enough yet, rather more just a case of being not good enough. Doesn’t mean he can’t be a very good player for us though.

That cant be right, it says in that interview that we've been after him for a while?

Maybe we should have signed Chris Erskine just in case we did not get ths signing over the line. :aok:

First team Serie A is somewhat of a higher quality than Scottish Premiership. Genoa's players have a slightly higher total market value than Celtic so you'd expect that their castoffs might well well be worthy Hibs players, the same way players who won't make the first team at Celtic will still fit in well at Easter Road (think: Scott Allan or Efe Ambrose).

I agree, I was not having a dig at the player saying he wasn't good enough, I meant that he maybe isn't good enough yet for their first team so wants games under his belt to get better

According to this he was good enough for serieA, a change in manager was what stopped that, the article also says he was preferred against the bigger teams, where most of his starts were against, teams like Juve, Milan and Inter:
Omeonga’s form for Avellino was enough to earn a move to Genoa, and in his first season he was a regular.

Though he only started six games, the midfielder made 19 Serie A appearances in total, first under Ivan Juric and then Davide Ballardini.
