Flo Kamberi

[theonlywayisup]

Very good today, took his goals well. Linked well with his teammates and was trying to motivate them going into Extra Time.

[jackdinners]

Absolutely right!

[Vault Boy]

Sounds like he impressed the scouts from Basel then! :greengrin

[hibee_girl]

He was excellent today

[B.H.F.C]

Best player by a mile today.

[Allant1981]

Hopefully he kicks on from this now as he is the best striker we have and when on form a cracking player

[hibbymick]

That performance should help him get his move.

[neil7908]

Absolutely no chance should we be selling him unless we get silly money.

Him and Allan will be our main source of goals this season if we keep them fit.

[SingaporeHibs]

Looks back to his best. We need to keep him, I think we will keep him. He is going to have a fantastic season if he can keep fit and continues like this. I’m calling it now, he is going to score 20+ goals this season. Once again today, you can see the understanding he has with Scott, they are on the same page. Exciting!!!

[oldbutdim]

Played very well indeed.
Took his goals very well and his 'touch' was excellent, best I've seen. None of the 'ball bouncing off' him today.

[calumhibee1]

Superb today.

[hibIBZ]

Really good effort from Flo today, took his chances and worked from start to finish.
Great attitude all game, fighting with the centre backs and giving them no time, running in behind, linking up play, still think he needs a strike partner

[stoneyburn hibs]

Wasn't there today but delighted by the comments on this thread. Great if he's the player of two seasons ago.

[bigwheel]

Yes. Top quality today ...MOM.

If he plays like that most weeks we would have a real quality Player on our hands ...took responsibility..excellent work rate, lots of skill, goals ...can’t ask for anything more

[superfurryhibby]

Good effort from Flo. Took his chances well, battled hard, brought others into the game with flicks and touches. By far the best player on the field today. Delighted for him he gots his goals, he’s a big player for us and this will help his confidence.

[Allant1981]

Wasn't there today but delighted by the comments on this thread. Great if he's the player of two seasons ago.

He had a good game, going forward we seem to be ok, just need to get the defence sorted out

[LustForLeith]

I hope the guy who slated him in the west near the dugouts and allegedly made an offensive remark about Flo stuck around to the final whistle to see the impact he has on the game.

[wookie70]

I thought Flo had one of his best games for the club today. His touch was superb, took his goals well and got into dangerous positions time and time again. Linked play and his fitness was fantastic charging around in the dying embers late into extra time. Has to start for me and hope we keep hold of him

[DH1875]

I think he is brilliant. Don't get the grap he gets on here at times. Would hate to lose him anytime soon.

[kaimendhibs]

Have been a critic but he was immense today

Sent from my VTR-L09 using Tapatalk

[Squirrel 1875]

Dragged us through today, alongside Allan. Indispensable.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Will he play the same without scouts watching him

[Shrekko]

I think he is brilliant. Don't get the grap he gets on here at times. Would hate to lose him anytime soon.

He gets it on here ‘at times’ because we all know how good he can be... but isn’t always.

Fantastic today. If he played like that most weeks - what a player we’d have.

[sadtom]

Shock horror. Flo gets his finger out when he's being scouted.
Guy is a chancer.

[Pretty Boy]

He's been playing well for a few weeks, dropping him last week was odd. Today he got the goals his play deserved.

A definite shining light today.

[Carheenlea]

Shock horror. Flo gets his finger out when he's being scouted.

Poor comment

[Hibeesmad]

Played great today, I don’t know if the rumours of Scouts watching him had anything to do with it but hopefully he will come back to the Flo we know

[JimBHibees]

Agree was excellent, made no sense not to play him last week. Also robbed of two goals.

Nonsense.

[The Harp Awakes]

Clearly went of the rails a bit last season but we all know Flo is quality. He and Scott Allan are on the same wavelength and both players are crucial to Hibs.

[J-C]

That's the Flo from his loan spell

[DTS]

He was excellent today, 4 goals so far this season with 2 disallowed with some of the worst offside calls I’ve ever seen. Hopefully gets off the mark next week. He tends to go on a run when he gets a few wouldn’t be surprised if he’s on 10 by halloween

[SRHibs]

That's the Flo from his loan spell

Shop window Flo?

[J-C]

Shop window Flo?

Could well be, time will tell. TBH I was really surprised he didn't play out his skin when we played Celtic last season as a 2 fingers to Lennon.

[BoomtownHibees]

Language. The guy has a bloody good point. Change my mind, go.

He’s been our best striker by far this season so far (not saying much tbf) without having “scouts watching him”

[Jones28]

You really took your username to heart eh?

Pish comment.

[chrisski33]

Probably not tbh

[Bob Box Fish]

Flo was brilliant today, we won’t sell him this season, if he has a consistent season as per recent form you could be looking at 4m or so to a championship club next summer. Currently he’s probably worth 1.5m ish IMO.

[Greencore]

[Partyraiser]

Motm today by a distance :not worth Most of his hold up play and runs in behind were like flo of old. I still wish he'd learn how to head the ball properly though!

[sadtom]

Sad by name ...

Nothing sad about it...Saint Alberts Day Third Of May.

Those saying its a poor/pish comment need to gie there heids a wobble. I knew he was going to play well today...even backed him to score. As soon as as i heard he was being watched. He's got previous.
There is a good player there but unfortunately he appears to play for himself.

Fair comment.

[overdrive]

I really worry for our season if we sell him. Kamberi, Allan and Marciano are carrying this team (although Allan wasn’t great today).

[Mon Dieu4]

Man of the match for me, thought he did really well. After a few dodgy decisions going against this season good to see him get the benefit of the doubt, but can anyone confirm that for his first he looked about 2 yards offside to me not that I'm complaining, more a point on strange decisions

[hibeerealist]

By being better than any of the others 🤷🏻*♂️

[Bob Box Fish]

For Flo now? I personally think he’s worth about 1.5m, if someone offered 2.5 and upwards I think the club would accept it but I don’t think anyone will at the moment. If he keeps up the consistency he will attract more clubs / value increase. Just my opinion though.

[Ricky Bobby]

Really poor comment.
Anyone who has attended games this season can see that he has been a totally different player since Lennon.
A class player who should be appreciated while we have him.

His overall game and work rate is improving he’s been very unlucky with dubious off side decisions also.

[BoomtownHibees]

But by doing what?, disagree with this comment.

If you can’t see it for yourself then you either don’t watch games or you have it in for him. His work rate, his movement, his quality on the ball, his positional sense, making chances for himself, making chances for others.

All of the above have been better than any of the other strikers this season

There’s a general consensus as to why he went off the rails last year though isn’t there? I don’t think you subscribe to that one though

[Greencore]

I don't argue, I'm a practising Buddhist.

[Jack Hackett]

Some of the cynicism around .net atm is facepalm worthy. Flo's playing well, but it's only because he's trying to work a move :rolleyes:

Flo was brilliant 1st season... with Scott Allan beside him. Not so much last season... without Scott Allan beside him. Getting his s*** together this season... with Scott Allan beside him. Some on here have difficulty putting 2 and 2 together without making 5. He will have been trying to impress, but I'd be disappointed if the whole team wasn't trying to impress.

I want him to stay, but this is modern football and it's rare for any player to put his current club before his own career advancement. Why should Flo be any different. He's doing his job now and that's enough for me.

There's been a creeping sense of entitlement amongst the members of this forum since 21.05.16. that's becoming almost yammish in intensity. The matchday thread today was full of the crap you read on jkb when things aren't going well.

Personally speaking, I'm about sick of it. I've watched the Hibs since the 60's and seen them rip Europe's best apart... but I've also seen them being owned by carthorses from lower leagues. That's football.

A section of .net these days seem to think we should be playing like Barca every week, but that's never going to happen.

Away and support Celtc if it's weekly glory you need for a fix... and even then you'll be disappointed

[BoomtownHibees]

The boy is certainly firing.

[FilipinoHibs]

Brilliant post

Followed for 50 years and that is my experience. I sense the entitlement as well. The sort of folk who turn up for big games and make the most ridiculougs comments when things not going our way and then disappear. May 2016 and promotion and Lennon's hype changed that and the second second half of first season up. The same folk overlooked Lennon's behaviour and Hibs poor football for most of his tenure. Now they are taking it out on PH who has much improved us on and off the pitch. These folk must be largely new season ticket holders. I am sure many will drift away this season no matter what.

I’ve mentioned the almost OF/hertz like sense of entitlement quite a few times since we won the Cup. Its been very noticeable and extremely cringeworthy.

[SonOfDavidFrancey]

4th goal yesterday (flo’s second) was what I expected to see when Allan came back. Lovely ball behind the defence that Flo seems to be able to read. Reminiscent of end of 17-18.

[The Spaceman]

If Grasshoppers have a 30% sell-on clause and we would only be left with Doidge and Shaw, then it would need to take stupid, stupid money (£6m+) for him to go. End of. Surely!

At this stage of the window/season I don’t think any offers should be considered at all. Would be virtually impossible to replace with similar quality. Flo has been looking better each game and he and Allan are continuing their great understanding from their previous spell together. It will bring us a lot of goals imo.

I'd be hugely surprised if we sold him.
It's almost irrelevant what money we'd get for him - given the limit on what wage we'd play any striker we signed would be a massive gamble.

Hard to say when the headline quotes Stockdale about “fantastic attributes” and then goes on to quote neither adjective or verb of the sort.
If someone spoke about my fantastic attributes I’d take it as praise. But seemingly everyone round here knows I’m a prick so maybe not ::greengrin

Flo reminds me of a young kenny miller.
I can understand the interest him tbh.
I don't think he would be easily replaced in the transfer market.

If he was just a wee bit more clinical,he would be a very very good striker imo.

Like mcginn I just would not want him sold.

[duffers]

Flo was brilliant today, we won’t sell him this season, if he has a consistent season as per recent form you could be looking at 4m or so to a championship club next summer. Currently he’s probably worth 1.5m ish IMO.

Considering the figure quoted for McGinn was 2.8 million with 1 year left on his contract, I can’t see Flo going for as much as 4. If we were to get offered 2 million now, I reckon we would consider it.

We should learn from what's gone on since last year and knock it back. If they come back with more then consider it, Basel are in the CL.

I’d be very disappointed to see him go. I just think an offer of that size for a fairly inconsistent player would be seen as to good to turn down.

[Allant1981]

I’d be very disappointed to see him go. I just think an offer of that size for a fairly inconsistent player would be seen as to good to turn down.

I agree he has been inconsistent until recently but how much would it cost us to get a striker who is as good? We wouldnt get much change out of a million quid and we clearly wont spend that much money on one player

[Jim44]

Whether this rumour is true or not, I wish it could be dealt with sooner rather than later. If it drags on for another week or so, we might just find ourselves in a last minute rush to find a replacement.

[Sudds_1]

Not sure if anyone else felt this....but i thought flos body language was subdued after both his goals....especially our third where the team looked more excited than him? Maybe mind elsewhere?

Agreed. Remember when we lost Stokes in his first spell about 28hrs before window shut? Too late to replace him and contributed to the manager getting the bullet which lead to the downward spiral toward the relegation season.

If Flo moves it may well be in the next window to give us time to ID a replacement.

I agree that we should not be selling flo but I believe now with the structure in place we would have a list of targets lined up and have already put in feelers for availability in the case of if flo does go. A bit like shaw we won’t shoot ourselves in the foot until we have a replacement virtually ready.

Considering our recruitment efforts these last few windows I'm not convinced we'd replace Kamberi with someone as good. Last time we went a number of windows replacing quality with average players it never ended well.

[Kato]

Is Flo being praised or criticised here...

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49387146

He's being praised with some qualifications within that. It's probably exactly what Stockdale is saying to Kamberi face-to-face.

[DTS]

Considering our recruitment efforts these last few windows I'm not convinced we'd replace Kamberi with someone as good. Last time we went a number of windows replacing quality with average players it never ended well.

I think we’ve been pretty good transfer wise recently especially in the striking department, first summer up we replaced Cummings and keatings with stokes and Murray, which initially worked wonders

We then shipped both of them and replaced them with Kamberi and MacLaren on loan, the following window we then made them both permanent/another loan with option to buy to the delight of 95% of the support.

MacLaren didn’t work out Second time round and replaced him with mcnulty which everyone would say was a success.

We’ve replaced mcnulty with doidge which despite a slow start it’s far far too early to judge doidge as a success or not but he’s scored two very well taken goals.

If flo was to go I’d be disappointed and a bit worried but I’d have the confidence that whoever we signed to replace would have been well scouted etc before signing
