I don’t know how far down the list he is at Genoa but I would have thought a move from potential Serie A to Scottish Premiership is unlikely at best.

I thought he was outstanding today, especially during the first half. We didn't have close to a bad performance from anyone but he was a clear choice for motm for me.

The above posts sum up what he brings to the team the most, and for me it sums up what we were lacking during the first half of the season. McNulty up there with Flo has made a huge difference, but having a player who can carry the ball at pace from back to front has also had a huge effect.

You can see the impact it is having on players who were toiling at times during the first half of the season - Horgan, Slivka, Mallan, Milligan, Flo - we're getting much more from all of these players now.

At the risk of stirring up a hornets nest with some posters I have to say he reminds me of Latapy when he’s on a run with the ball. Excellent close control and he seems to have a habit of being confronted by a couple of opponents and emerging with the ball. Unlike wee Russell he seems to have a bit of a dig about him too. Very impressive.

If they could just get us a team for the first half of the season that is anything like as good as the ones they seem to get for the second half of seasons then they might get some of the credit they deserve.

Very quick feet, quick brain and great energy, more of the same for the rest of the season please. I know he's contracted to Genoa and he's only here for a few short months but I wonder if there's a chance we could get him on loan again for a full season.

Jim44
16-03-2019, 11:50 PM
Our best chance is another loan. I don’t think he is about to break into Genoa’ s plans so I would think it’s not out of the question. If he’s happy here, getting good game time, another season might appeal to him.

I must confess to having no real knowledge about his future at all, but I'm not really sure why so many posters seem to have given up on us having a chance of keeping him here for another season?

Genoa are on the live serie a game tomorrow against Juve:greengrin so we can judge for ourselves, but I would imagine that he's not going to dislodge some of the midfield starters from that squad. In that event, Genoa would only have an urgent interest in recalling him if they have a transfer fee in mind with another club. I think it's conceivable that he might want more game time in a fantastic city for another season...Well we can choose to live in hope at least.

We often belittle what we have to offer players like Omeonga.

At his stage in his career he's better off playing every week than playing in reserve matches, even if they are serie A ones. There are good players in our league and in our team and I have faith that our coaching team will be helping improve players. He'll have a few big games away games against Rangers and Celtic and the pressure of derbies against Hearts, all of which are better experience for a young footballer than playing half-arsed reserve games in front of a few hundred fans.

I can't see him wanting to join permanently but a year long loan could be a great deal for us, him and Genoa.

As an example (even though he's with us permanently) Slivka is looking more accomplished as the weeks go by, a far cry from the talented reserve player who joined us.

I think that Gattuso ended up a better player later in his career for his exposure to competitive Scottish football early in his career.

The guys a wee buzz bomb and I'm feelin' the love already. Good on the ball and absolutely works his backside off in every game.

You sometimes get the feeling from loan players, especially ones like him and McNulty who already have first team games under their belts for their parent clubs, that coming to the likes of the Scottish premiership is a come down for them. But nothing could be further from the truth when it comes to both of them, great positive attitudes and making a real contribution.

I presume Genoa keep a close eye on Omeonga, the surely must be liking what they are seeing :aok:

That's not what I read. Prandelli doesn't seem to fancy him, he was tossed aside when he came in after being a squad player prior to that. If Genoa want him back then it'll be their sporting director I'd assume.

Omeonga himself spoke about opening new markets being in the UK. So I presume he sees his future over here.

I think there's a good chance we'll at least get him back on loan. He's playing and enjoying himself-even if Genoa want to keep him his value will only improve playing another year(5 years :greengrin) with us.:aok:

So many comparisons to Latapy but playing styles don’t come close in my opinion. He reminds me more of Zemamma.

Latapy was a proper number 10, tricky, skilful and opposition could barely get the ball off him. Omeonga plays deeper and doesn’t have anywhere near the level of trickery Latapy had.

He’s a class player though.

I watched the highlights of Genoa beating Juve 2-0 this lunchtime, (kept Juve to no shots on target!!) and had a wee scan at their midfield. Sturaro scored today, and cost 16 million euros from Juve (bet he enjoyed that goal). Goran Pandev the other scorer, absolute legend Macedonias best player of all time, scored an absolute hatful in serie a, usually at striker or sometimes midfield. Two other full regular internationalists from Serbia and Denmark. Thats the level he's got to reach if hes going to be a regular at Genoa.

His passing style it quite similar to Latapy, that kind of nonchalant way of passing it, Omeonga has more to him defensively than Latapy had, but Latapy was out there on his own attacking wise, probably still the best player I've seen at Easter Road.

Agreed, Hecky's interviews are always excellent. Calm and articulate and gives simple no nonsense answers. he got dragged into the fans behaviour questions a bit too much a couple of weeks ago, but very sensibly he now avoids them and says that he is responsible for the players not the fans.

I agree worcesterhibby. Someone earlier in the thread felt it necessary to start referencing Lennon, but once it's done stupid comments which attempt to discredit him when we generally played superbly against Celtic under Lennon's tenure can't go unchallenged.

In a probably vain attempt to get this back on track, Omeonga is a cracking player and we should enjoy him while he's here.

If you can't see why Lennon not wanting to celebrate goals for us v them is an issue, then that's cool, up to you.

I, on the other hand, want a manager who is happy when we score.

Where is this written about?
And do you mean stop Parker celebrating goals against the tims?

There’s a clip of him telling a crowd of Celtic fans this from a fair few months ago, while he was still Hibs manager.

Do we have a chance of keeping him permanently I.e. clause in his loan deal that it can become permanent or is it unlikely? Him and Scott Allan together in midfield would be an absolute dream!

Up there with our best loan signings. Terrific wee player and good head on his shoulders too.

I suspect not, but who knows. Seems to be closer to Genoa's first team than Slivka was to Juve's 3rd, so I doubt we can give them what they want.

Surprising.

Where’s Borat? 😁

Thank God hes away. Omeonga would be suffering from shoulder problems if he was still manager.

Got a fiver on him for first scorer tonight at 33/1.

Officially jinxed him but those odds are way too big!

One goal for Belgium u-15s is his total goal tally over his career. 33/1 is far too short!

Big? Far too small, surely.

Stephane has played 4000 minutes of competitive football in his career, and in all that time has so far scored no goals and only one assist (which was that glorious pass to McNulty vs St Johnstone). He does look like a great wee player, but goals have, up to now, not been his thing.

Sir David Gray had worse stats. :wink:

Isn't he one of the Omeonga brothers, and the other one played for Falkirk?

Love the guy's attitude and skill but I thought he struggled with the way Livi played tonight which will be similar to how Hearts will set up next week. I would leave him out of the derby and play Slivka.

Thats a good point. Livi and Hearts style very similar. Livi maybe try and play a bit more football though. Tonight definitely a good warm up for the derby though.

I'd play both of them in a 451. Win the midfield by getting numbers in there and trust in McNulty.

That pitch didn’t do him any favours.. players with his ability need to be able to get the ball down and it’s almost impossible on that bouncy castle

He played in a 451 tonight and couldn’t get a hold of it at all.

Struggled with the pace and the way they were in his face. Not something he’s used to.

I don't disagree, but I don't agree with dropping one of our best performers after one poor game.

Didn't have as good a game as I had expected he would. Great tracking back at times, very strong for a smaller guy. Think he has a real footballing brain, looks for a sensible pass most of the time and plays the ball into space a lot of the time. Unlucky with his heavy pass through to Kamberi. Hopefully back on form for next week.

Wonder if has played a full scale game on astro? Training on it is not the same as a game where the tackles are flying in. Good decision to take him off tonight.

Not necesarilly suggesting he should be dropped but it’ll have give the manager something to think about. It’ll be a very similar game at Tynecastle next week.

I think he should be dropped just as a tactical tweak rather than due to a poor performance. However, Hecky is the Head Coach and i'm sure he will pick the team he feels will win the game! :flag:

Reading Lennon's comments about not really liking Hibs scoring against Celtic confirms what I have always believed; that he was not a good fit for us. He was never going to commit fully to us.
I was really surprised the board appointed him given his past and it won't go down as their finest moment. His record with us was nothing special. He is back where he always wanted to be so good luck to him. He's gone so we move on with a manager, I hope really wants to be here.

His record with us - other than the last few months - was pretty good in my book.

I haven't seen the comments you have mentioned but in all respect to Lennon he did get results against Celtic and gave us many other happy memories along the way. He is a die hard Celtic fan just like we are to Hibs.

I actually thought the pitch hampered his play, he didn't look comfortable on it imo.

Agree I would say more than pretty good also given getting and doing pretty well in Europe and being within touching distance of second in the league. He did well but the wheels did fall off the wagon and both parties separating was probably best for both.
