[Pretty Boy]

I'd be very happy to have him back.

Solid keeper.

[SMAXXA]

Happy with that

[Not In The Know]

Yep decent but won't be cheap id rather spend the cash on another striker. Or maybe Rocky is off?

[HoboHarry]

Seems to me to be clear that there is a move in the pipeline for Rocky.....

[The Spaceman]

Great news. Not a priority position right now but two/three very good keepers on our books!

[Diclonius]

Great news, but why? Is one of our main two away?

[Jim44]

Very short term. So probably a deal with options for both parties.

[Pretty Boy]

Great news, but why? Is one of our main two away?

Maxwell is only on loan and Rocky is nearing the last 18 months of his contract. Looks like an extended trial for both parties to me.

After a nightmare start, Adam proved himself to be a more than competent goalkeeper and I'd welcome him back at any time.

:thumbsup:

[Tambo]

Efe next?

[Scouse Hibee]

He’s a free agent with no current income, we’re hardly going to be paying him mega bucks.

[supermcginn]

Brilliant! Great goalie.

[007]

That'd be my guess, Rocky away in January.

Would be very happy to see Bogdan back. He's a mixture of our current 2, good shot stopper, good distribution and decent at coming for crosses. A more rounded keeper IMO.

Shame it's not a deal to the end of the season so we could get a bit of cash if he found a new club in January.

[HibbyKeith]

Bogdan has been active on Instagram since he left and has never changed his hibs profile picture or links to hibs official in his bio. Always found that a little weird. maybe hes been keen to come back but Hecky didn't fancy him :dunno:

[matty_f]

Good keeper, decent bit of business if Rocky's mind is made up about leaving.

[Irish-Hibee]

Right time to sell Rocky. He has 18 months left. This is probably the only window we'll be able to get decent money for him. Doubt he's interested in a new contract.

Exactly,he and his missus are desperate to settle in Edinburgh, Hibs offered a deal in the summer then pulled it leaving them both gutted.

[hfc rd]

Delighted with that!

Very good GK

[MrRobot]

Bogdan is a great keeper, hope this is true.

Not keen on Maxwell at all.

[Vault Boy]

Pleased with this, I like Adam. Great professional and good keeper.

Hope we keep Ofir too.

[Beefster]

Bogdan is a great keeper, hope this is true.

Same here. Bogdan and Marciano are far better keepers than Maxwell imho.

[Since452]

I'd be happy selling Marciano in January. Too inconsistent for me and a big reason we lost games earlier this season

[1van Sprou7e]

I'd be happy selling Marciano in January. Too inconsistent for me and a big reason we lost games earlier this season

I'm not sure he can be blamed for any loss this season tbh

Having said that, his exceptional shot stopping capabilities don't always make up for his awful distribution and weakness at crosses

If we can make a decent profit I wouldn't mind selling

[JimBHibees]

Thought he was very poor at Motherwell that's not to say he was solely to blame right enough.

[Sammy7nil]

What is decent money? I would be surprised if someone is willing to pay :confused:

[Boyle89]

Is there not a massive chunk due to his previous club if we sell?

[hfc rd]

Yes, 50%

He can certainly be blamed for a fair share of goals though that’s for sure. I’d be happy if we sold him and replaced him with bogdan with Maxwell. Like Rocky and he’s been great over the piece for us but get the feeling he wants to move on and probably best for all concerned he does.

[beensaidbefore]

Excellent news. Been hoping something like this would happen with him. Was great for us until he got injured. We'll done Hibs.

As others have said, think that will see Rocky away.

[yerauldda]

Happy with him joining, good keeper. Strange time to sign him though but adds weight to the message that the clubs structure allows us to continue our day to day business without someone in the head coach role.

[Keyser Sauzee]

Would be happy if he is a replacement for Rocky, felt Bogdan was the better keeper out of the 2 last year. Is Rocky being linked with anyone in particular??

[BlackSheep]

How long is maxwells loan? Does he have a recall clause? I would hope bringing in bogdan is to challenge Rocky and not replace him...

[Shrekko]

This would be a great signing.

As brilliant as Rocky was in the last 15 games of last season he’s generally been erratic. Bogdan when he settled down I thought was top drawer and pretty much good at everything.

[Greencore]

What is decent money? I would be surprised if someone is willing to pay :confused:

If we do sell him for decent money, half of that goes to his old club.

[Jamesie]

Mrs Marciano posted a picture of the family at the Shore the other day on instagram with the caption "missing you already". I joked with friends as to whether she was missing Rocky while he is away on international duty or actually about to start missing Leith and whether this was a semi-cryptic indication that he might be off - looks like it possibly was!

[J-C]

Looks like a short term deal until we see what happens with Marciano, rumours a couple of clubs were interested and Maxwell being a loan deal it may make sense, Marciano may have implied to the management he's looking to move on.

[Viva_Palmeiras]

Did someone say goalkeeper school ;)

[neil7908]

Get him on a long term deal. Better than Maxwell imo and if Rocky's away we have a brilliant replacement at the club

[ancient hibee]

Will we get any thing? Serious question pay a fee for Rocky or get Bogdan for free i know what I would choose.

Why would we pay a fee for Rocky?We would be selling him.

[Speedway]

At 32, he may feel that it’s time to make his name as a number 1 at one specific club.

[MrRobot]

Same here. Bogdan and Marciano are far better keepers than Maxwell imho.

Definitely man, really hope Rocky isn’t leaving.

[007]

Would be a great first signing by JR.

[hibsbollah]

I'd be comfortable with any of those three keepers in nets. All shown their abilities.

I don't think I can ever remember feeling like that about Hibs before.

A strange one.
Could have seen him signing a contract until the end of the season in the January window but why now until January.
Marciano can't move until the window and i don't know if there is a clause to end Maxwells loan early but again that won't be possible until the January window.
:wink:

Rocky would’ve saved that feeling. Gathered it with safe hands, big hands. Probably kicked it into the dugouts after that mind you.

[AgentDaleCooper]

Bogdan is not far away from being good enough for the EPL - a big like Efe, if it wasn't for the odd howler he'd be way out of our price range

[007]

Don't remember Bogdan making any howlers. He was a bit rusty at first because he hadn't played for ages and he was at fault in one of the Euro matches (Asteras?). He made up for it in the second leg and was pretty solid thereafter. IIRC.

He is out of our price range but needs to play to find himself a new club. We can help him and he can help us for however long he is with us. If we agree a deal to January, I wouldn't be surprised to to see it then extended to the end of the season.

[jacomo]

Sweet.

[Jim44]

I wonder if any progress has been made on this one. Maybe Jack Ross has got wind of it and kiboshed it. :greengrin

[cabbageandribs1875]

32 years old, still youngish for a keeper, look after himself and he's still got several years left

[coco mc]

99% certain :wink:he arrives on Monday

[bigwheel]

Think this will depend on whether Combe stays around..its Combe who has been pushing for this, and who has the trusted relationship with Bogdan..if he stays would expect it to happen ....

[Big_Franck]

Happy with this. I was unsure about him at the very start but I think Bogdan is the best of the 3. He put together a run of form for us that was more consistent than the other two have managed for us.

Anyone thinking that clubs will be willing to pay anything other than a small token fee for Hibs' current sub keeper need their heids looked at. Our chance to get a half decent fee for Marciano has been and gone.

[Weegreenman]

Seems to me to be clear that there is a move in the pipeline for Rocky.....

Fine by me. Not consistent enough. I’m happy to give him my backing because we all know there’s a good keeper in there somewhere, however he’s always talking about moving on.........so I won’t lose any sleep over him leaving if it did happen.

[lucky]

Seems a waste of money as neither of our goalies can leave before January

[Sammy7nil]

Was the earlier Ryanair one - few pals on it coming back from the Scotland game in Cyprus via Budapest who spotted him.

[J-C]

Rocky needs to play regularly to keep his Israel no.1 spot, he'll be away in January.

[The Leith Dutch]

I like Bogdan a lot.
Much as I like Marciano I also recognize that he has weaknesses.

That said - GK is not a problem area right now so you'd assume
a move for one of the keepers is in the offing.

If Hibs could only get £500k for Rocky then I’d be seriously questioning our hierarchy. An outstanding shot stopper and a regular international starter, he won’t be short of suiters, although he should be our number 1 even if Bogdan signed.

I reckon we would get Brussel Sprout for Rocky, especially if we need him to move on in January to accomodate Bogdan.
If he is not good enough for Hibs, which team is going to want to buy him?
The 3rd choice keeper from Preston is currently keeping him out of our team.
FWIW i think it makes more sense to send Maxwell back to Preston in January and keep Rocky if we can.

Even Hearts don't have 3 international keepers. Almost £10k a week on keepers would be pretty nutso for Hibs.
If Bogdan arrives there will definately be a plan in place for a keeper to move on. But who?

Might be wrong but I thought I read somewhere that JR was bringing his own Goalkeeping Coach with him from Sunderland

[Diclonius]

Wasn't Simon Brown on a similar clause?

[Steve20]

I’ve seen him at Easter Road on a couple of occasions this season, glad to have him back, the best of the three in my opinion.

He's better than Maxwell by some distance. But not close to being as good as Marciano.

Marciano is our best keeper, but Bogdan would be a decent sub keeper instead of Maxwell, who should be sent back.

[GreenCastle]

Odd that Rocky wasn’t playing for Israel when he was our number 1.

Now he’s number 2 he’s been on bench.

I like Rocky and think along with his family he’s bought into the Hibs way of life.

Would wish him well if he moves on.

Bogdan showed his quality last season - just not sure if he needs match sharpness.

Maxwell been fine but can imagine an English team will snap him up.

[Unseen work]

Marciano is undoubtedly a good keeper who at times makes some brilliant saves, but imo he also makes a lot of camera saves which keeps us under more pressure, concedes a corner or pals it into a dangerous area. His kicking is very poor and I think as a defensive unit we’re better organised with Bogdan or Maxwell in goals.

Maxwell has yet to pull of an amazing save, but I think he catches a lot of shots and crosses that Ofir would make more of a deal out of. I like Maxwell and he seems a bit nuts which is good, I’d try sign him in the summer when his contract is up to have him and Bogdan battle for the gloves.

Bogdan for me is a good mix of Maxwell and Marciano.

[Golden Bear]

The Maxwell v Marciano contest has been debated many times in Hibs Net over the last few months but the situation only came about because of Marciano's very poor form in the opening games.

In any case - Adam Bogdan will be a step up on both of them, hopefully we can secure his services on a longer term deal. I do find it surprising, however, that he didn't secure a contract with another Club.

[Blaster]

Assuming he was one appearance from having to pay a fee, good job he didn’t have to come off the bench!

Adam did have a few offers, one from Hibs that was pulled for no reason,
I do know that he and his family are desperate to be here and that he will do everything to make it longer term if he can.

[davhibby]

Marciano is a great shot stopper but he can be a bit erratic at times. Bogdan is a good solid all rounder and if he wants to be here we should be desperate to get him signed up long term. I think having someone as good as Bogdan here also makes Ofir play better. I quite like Maxwell and apart from the mistake in the semi he’s not really done anything wrong but Bogdan is a big step up in quality

[CMurdoch]

The "It will not not continue bit" would suggest he has a club teed up for January where he will be the number 1. That would count out the suggestion from the poster above of Celtic as a destination.

Yet there was something posted showing the stats of all the keepers in the Premiership last season and Marciano was statistically one of the best, if not the best in the league and Bogdan was statistically one of the worst.

Stats can be a funny thing at any time, let's face it all of the 'keepers had to face up to vastly different circumstances especially with regard to "shot saving" ie - some would be far more difficult than others which would help to mask the "accuracy" of the outcome stats.

Personally, they're not worth a damn imo.

Maxwell pulled off an "amazing save" against Celtic where the ball was deflected.

I’m fairly sure that was the one that was given offside... it’s the only decent save I can remember from the game. He handed Brown two goals, firstly by making a meal of a cross, and secondly by not pushing his first attempt away from goal giving him a tap in for his second (the exact stuff we slate Marciano for as it concedes a corner)! Rocky saves us plenty of points, the first time in a long time that we’ve had someone that does that, by making top saves.

Statisticians should be pretty good at coping with whether some shorts are more difficult to save than others - after all, it's a very similar principle to that 'expected goals' statistic that gets bandied about, where shots from different parts of the pitch have different expectations of scoring. Any half-awake statistician would do far more than just count saves and would factor in the difficulty of individual shots.

And football fans are prone to a ton of cognitive biases though that are every bit as bad as simple statistics. Goalkeepers who make lots of spectacular saves might not necessarily be better keepers - in that the need to make those saves could be an indication that the keeper was standing in the wrong place to begin with - same way that defensive howlers are sometimes an indication that the defender was doing something *right* by at least getting in a position to make a spectacular mistake. An even poorer defender wouldn't register in the memory at all...

Marciano is the best of the three and it's not even close.

Bogdan is a very good keeper and if rocky goes then he's more than good enough to be number one.

Maxwell can go back.

Marciano is undoubtedly a good keeper who at times makes some brilliant saves, but imo he also makes a lot of camera saves which keeps us under more pressure, concedes a corner or pals it into a dangerous area. His kicking is very poor and I think as a defensive unit we’re better organised with Bogdan or Maxwell in goals.

Maxwell has yet to pull of an amazing save, but I think he catches a lot of shots and crosses that Ofir would make more of a deal out of. I like Maxwell and he seems a bit nuts which is good, I’d try sign him in the summer when his contract is up to have him and Bogdan battle for the gloves.

Bogdan for me is a good mix of Maxwell and Marciano.

I agree, I like Rocky a lot but the camera saves and distribution are definite downside.

Nah Bogdan is better.

[1875Sean]

Rocky was in the papers saying he isn’t playing due to something behind the scenes? Is there possibly a clause in his contract if he plays another game?

I'd have to argue that it's very close between Marciano and Bogdan

I don't think Maxwell is great. If we get Bogdan on a decent deal I would be very happy

Bogdan is superior, no doubt about it.

[noz]

who’s better? seems divided on here.

Lets put it another way, could you see Liverpool signing Marciano?
Ok, he only had 2 appearances but then played for Bolton in the top division.

[Dazzjw1875]

Bogdan is the better keeper of the 3 for me

[BILLYHIBS]

Bogdan
Maxwell
Rocky

Maxwell has the gloves

[Gloucester Hibs]

Don't remember Bogdan making any howlers. He was a bit rusty at first because he hadn't played for ages and he was at fault in one of the Euro matches (Asteras?). He made up for it in the second leg and was pretty solid thereafter. IIRC.

He is out of our price range but needs to play to find himself a new club. We can help him and he can help us for however long he is with us. If we agree a deal to January, I wouldn't be surprised to to see it then extended to the end of the season.

He made some great saves away in Greece, one in particular 2nd half was Banks-esque.

Top class save - got us through to the next round.

[bigwheel]

Alan Combe wanted to get Bogdan back from the start of this season - Bogdan was up for it ..but the board wouldn’t support the signing at the time ...didnt want to pay for two number ones - so Maxwell arrived instead ...

Ps. That has to be put in the context of the money the board supported through other signings - not meaning it as a criticism- simply supporting Combe’s attempts ...

[blackpoolhibs]

Bogdan is the better keeper of the 3 for me

:agree: I agree, Bogdan when fit had the gloves, rocky came in when Bogdan was injured.

Maxwell took over because rocky had made a few clangers, and initially did very well. After being between the sticks for a while, we can see Maxwell is a decent keeper, probably comes for more crosses than rocky, but does not make as many spectacular saves as him.

Bogdan for me is better than both, he commands his box as good as Maxwell, and better than Rocky, and makes the saves rocky does with less clangers.

Bogdan all day long for me, i hope we can get him signed for a few years. :thumbsup:

[H18S NX]

Bogdan,all day long for me.

[MacGruber]

Marciano is the best for me.

I like Bogdan though and would be delighted to see him back. Also a top keeper.

Maxwell is decent, a steady eddie (discounting his clanger in the semi).

One area we are well covered.

I wasn't sure about Bogdan at first but his performances really won me over and I doubt we would have got a point last season against Rangers in the 0-0 at Easter Road if he hadn't have came on as a sub.

Agree with this but credit where credit due when Bogdan got injured Rocky came in and was undroppable he was totally outstanding for the last part of last season and more than played his part in clawing us up the league into the top six and became a very important player for us

Unfortunately a loss of form and a series of unforced errors have cost Rocky his place this season

Hopefully Bogdans arrival and increased competition for the gloves can once again revitalise Rocky

[wookie70]

Out of the three I'd put Bogdan a good bit ahead with Rocky and Maxwell not much between them but very different. Bogdan is everything I want in a Keeper. Good distribution, good decision making on crosses to help his centre halves, communicates and an excellent shot stopper who doesn't make the most of every save. Would be an excellent signing particularly if we could get a few quid for Rocky

[Pretty Boy]

Now official.

[hibsbollah]

Till January only. Good news though.

[Eyrie]

Till January only. Good news though.

It's a start.

Hope he stays longer.

[J-C]

We'll wait till we know for certain that Marciano is going to leave, if he does Bogdan is already on our books and a simple process of extending his contract.

[04Sauzee]

Did I hear Bogdan saying he was hoping to play for the development team tomorrow in his interview which would be today?

If marciano isnt going to play again like he has suggested I think bogdan may be on the bench at least today

[Since90+2]

He miles better than Maxwell and if Marciano isn't being considered then stick him straight in. He knows the majority of the players anyway.
