Excellent. Some day. Welcome Alex

[erin go bragh]

What a day of signings. Exactly the type of player we have been missing .

[J-C]

If Carlsberg did Friday's

[3pm]

Looks quite intimidating.

Can see the NHS staff wearing 'thank you Gogic' logos on their uniform just to keep on his good side.

[Vault Boy]

I've never been more scared of a Hibs player.



This is good news.

Three cracking signings in one day. It’s what Premier teams do,

[YehButNoBut]

Welcome Alex Gocic

[Northernhibee]

Bit of a Roy Keane look about him

Roy Keane thinks that Alex Gogic is a big of a thug and should be nicer on the pitch.

[Billy Whizz]

Is he our 1st Cypriot born player?

[Power]

A leader and someone that thrives on duels with opposition players (top of the premiership chart last season). My kind of player.

Hopefully the missing jigsaw that improves and protects the defence and drives the team on in front of him.

[H18 SFR]

Is he our 1st Cypriot born player?

I’m sure he was Serbian and moved to Cyprus when he was young.

[Greencore]

Looks like a hard c*** 😂 welcome Alex

[Waxy]

Alex Gogic is Chuck Norris’s father.

[neil7908]

Very, very pleased with our business today.

[Leitherhibs]

Will be the best signing of the 3. Proper cult hero material.

[Keith_M]

Should make a big difference for our derby games with Hea...


Oh right, mibbe not.

:wink:

[Greencore]

Should make a big difference for our derby games with Livingston.

:wink:

Fixed it for you

[EAZY-ME]

3 very good signings that any team in Scotland bar the uglies would be proud to have

[Keith_M]

Fixed it for you


Cheers, much appreciated.

:aok:

[Billy Whizz]

Wiki said he was born in Nicosia, son of a Serbian footballer

[Green Manalishi]

Gogic is the one i wanted. Hibs are a better team with a hard tacking ball winner in the side

[Since452]

Naismith has just declared himself injured for the semi. Doesn't know when it is yet but he's definitely injured for it

[JimBHibees]

A guy with something to prove what's not to like. Think he will be a huge cult hero with fans. Only concern imo will be refs throwing cards at him. Welcome to Hibs Alex. :flag:

[oneone73]

Naismith has just declared himself injured for the semi. Doesn't know when it is yet but he's definitely injured for it

Or during it.

[The 90+2]

Loves to win the ball back for his team mates. Stoater of a comment. The guys like the terminator 😁

[Diclonius]

What a day!

[Sir David Gray]

Spoke to a Hamilton fan earlier who described him as a great tackler and "hard as ****" although not the best passer of the ball.

[Northernhibee]

He wasn't the same player after someone broke his jaw on George St., but you saw the difference a player like that can make when Gary Deegan came in to us in 2012/2013. Gubbed 3-0 by Dundee United going on seven in the first game then went on a run that took us top of the league after that. All the creative players had that extra half second to be creative and the defence had that little bit extra cover.

As long as he can pass the ball to the ball players next to him in the midfield then thats not that bad. No one is expecting 40 yard diagonals from him. Just keep it simple on the ball and sweep up any danger.

[Unseen work]

Absolutley delighted.

The good thing is someone with Gogic is he knows exactly what he is good at, there are no delusions in his head that he is a creative player or a goalscorer.

He is a team player and knows his role inside out, he will win it back time and time again and give it to our better players.

Mallan and Allan will love playing alongside this guy and he will compliment their game massively.

The defence will be delighted at finally getting some protection too!

It’s been a while since we’ve had someone the opposition would hate playing against, and he is one of those.

Where did he play predominantly for Hamilton, midfield or centre back

[we are hibs]

Where did he play predominantly for Hamilton, midfield or centre back


Holding midfield last season where he was excellent according to many. Before last season he was centre back and pretty average/dodgy there apparently.

[number9dream]

He was absolutely immense in a game at home to Rangers last season when he moved into central defence after Accies had a guy sent off in the first half. Obviously, they wilted late on and Rangers got the win, but he was a stand out on the telly that day.
A spoiler in midfield and a useful back three option...
I wouldn’t necessarily play him in games where we are likely to have the bulk of possession but it seems like a sensible bit of business.

[The 90+2]

One year of each.

[Speedway]

Neither was his predecessor, Marv.

[Sir David Gray]

Neither was his predecessor, Marv.

I'm just happy to hear about the tackling bit we missed that so much in our midfield last season.

[EI255]

Well done Hibs!

Don't think anyone will be breaking his jaw up town.

You've just described Matty Jack😊

[B.H.F.C]

I'm just happy to hear about the tackling bit we missed that so much in our midfield last season.

Only thing for me is that playing that role for Hamilton probably comes with different expectations to what we have. Hamilton don’t dominate the ball, we do most of the time at ER. We’re really reliant on him to get it moving quickly. McGeough was the best at doing that. Different type of defensive midfielder but being able to pass the ball ten yards isn’t always as simple as it seems.

I’m happy we’ve signed him in the sense that it was so bloody obvious we needed to fill that position one way or another.

[howdenthehibby]

An enforcer in midfield, probably our most important signing, just what we need.Welcome.

[GreenCastle]

Good thing is all 3 signings know the Scottish set up.

Also Gogic is going to be a new fans favourite - I can see it already.

Actually think a longer than 2 year deal is needed. He’s 26 and plenty footy ahead of him.

Been a good day - expecting some movement out but least we Are getting players in who can get used to team mates etc.

I’m sure the dans will be delighted. Alex’s and Daniels have a long history of strong relationships.

Is Gogic gonna get you

[CMurdoch]

Where did he play predominantly for Hamilton, midfield or centre back

Looked very poor when he played at Centre Back for Hamilton but a revelation as a Midfield destroyer last season.
He is no great shakes as a footballer but he can't half stop talented opposition midfielders. Gives them no time, peace or space to do their thing. An all action pest. Just what we needed.

[SouthMoroccoStu]

That’s the biggest signing of the day
Even after a proven goal scorer and a pacey winger
We’ve been missing a Gogic since Marvin Bartley left
My wife wants a Gogic calendar for Christmas
Darren McGregor will be disappointed in the drop in sales

[The 90+2]

Don't think anyone will be breaking his jaw up town.

He defo’ reminds me of one of the Russians in Rocknrolla. 😁

Seems like a nice guy too, not a mouthy gob*****, but that my friends is another story.

[MWHIBBIES]

Positive news.

Cannot stand 2 year deals, though. If he has a good season he is away next summer.

[dchibs]

I've never been more scared of a Hibs player.



This is good news.

Can we call him the Goc or will he batter ma heid in if Icaal him that?

[Mibbes Aye]

Hopefully a true sucessor to the Marvin Jack role :agree:

[RyeSloan]

Think to have to appreciate our financial position just now with the length of deals...and nothing stopping us extending when the fog clears either.

[jgl07]

Why not the Matty Bartley role?

[Pretty Boy]

If he goes right through Naismith in the 1st Derby next season I'll be happy.

Oh wait.......

[truehibernian]

If he goes right through Naismith in the 1st Derby next season I'll be happy.

Oh wait.......

I'll be happy if he scores, runs to the Hearts dugout, and takes out their whole backroom team with a knee slide PB including their backside of a kitman (bar Paul Gallagher who's a good guy :greengrin).

Mind if it's at Tynie, he can also do a 'Wimbledon' and climb up their main stand and moon Scott Wilson with a Jon Obika tattoo :greengrin

[04Sauzee]

[CmoantheHibs]

Delighted with this. Welcome to the Hibees Alex.

[hibsbollah]

First a tricky winger, then a goal machine, then a midfield thug/enforcer.


In ONE DAY?????!!!!

[beensaidbefore]

Why not the Matty Bartley role?

A handful rather than a mouthful! :wink:

[Mibbes Aye]

Why not the Matty Bartley role?

Happy if he can do either.

Ideally he loses the shaved head and develops a 'Wild man of Borneo' straggly hairstyle, along with facial hair that suggests five-six days growth.

That and a pervading whiff of last night's drinking session on the breath, and a death stare for any opposition ****er who thinks thay can try and play the ball through midfield.

Accompanied by a firm but fair tackle, by which I obviously mean the reducer.

[Diclonius]

Is he our first ever Cypriot player?

[G B Young]

Really impresed by the signings and the quiet, efficient way they've been made.

Any word yet on the yams failing in a late bid for Gogic?

Looks as hard as nails, if he chapped my door I'd hide the guns in case he ate them....

[bigwheel]

Gogic was the top interception maker in the league last season (source: twopointone). 269 interceptions apparently. 68 ahead of the player who was second ..our very own Paul Hanlon...

[Leitherhibs]

Is he our first ever Cypriot player?

Yes!

[04Sauzee]

Just listening to a podcast and they said he was 5th in the most amount of minutes played for outfield players in the top league

[wallpaperman]

Very pleased with this.

On Twitter I searched ‘Gogic Hamilton’ out of curiosity and found a few very complimentary tweets from Celtic fans after a game earlier in the season, plus similar praise from Chris Sutton in a tweet.

[sean04]

Anybody else loving this guy already?
Thought he was outstanding for Hamilton at Easter road

I got a Brazilian from an Italian. I was only looking for a number three at the back and sides, matching short on top, but something got lost in translation along the way.

[sleeping giant]

We signed a Brazilian in the 70's but im sure he went home due to the weather before he had played a game.
Cant remember his name but i remember the picture in the paper of him with a big fur coat .

I had a Brazilian yesterday and still regretting it.
Shaved the hole. On the 3rd green.

Sure I read somewhere on here that he got 10 yellow cards and one suspension (and only missed one game all season ). It was a report that was pasted onto here.

[Since452]

Can't wait to see this lad in the derbys in a couple of seasons time

[ACLeith]

You’re confident Edinburgh City are getting promoted quickly then ?

[Tambo]

This is a perfect signing on paper, cant wait to see what he can bring and hopefully no longer see teams walk through our midfield.
