Just checked Kickback, he’s ***** apparently.

[cameronw-hfc]

I run a dept of writers and we have a few American lads. All of them have messaged me so far today to say we have signed a real player! Very good sign.

Sounds promising and sensible.

I wonder if he will be good enough to replace Nisbet if he goes in January?

According to reports we've captured a big fish that will score a number of goals and assists. Really looking forward to watching Chris play for us. Exciting prospect.

:aok:

[EI255]

Absolutely delighted with this. Pity he can't play until January.

Saying that, when's the derby? [emoji848]

Looks like a decent player

[Percy Vere]

Could be an exciting signing
Well done Hibs
Some saying he’s a bit light, but he’s good at corners

Anyone know how Orlando are doing this year?

Are they likely to want to keep him to help them reach the play offs or win the league (or whatever it is they’re competing for)?

Not an expert on the MLS and how it works but looks like they are 4th out of 14 teams in the eastern conference. The top 7 teams appear to enter the play-offs so all to play for unfortunately. They are only 8 points off top spot with 2 games in hand.

[147lothian]

I know nothing about MLS but since Mueller was capped twice by the USA last year he must have something about him, an exciting signing for me

[04Sauzee]

Starts for Orlando tonight. On sky sports later.

Will watch the game to check him out. Was hoping not to see him in the starting line up tbh, as that would have suggested he’s close to an imminent move to Edinburgh, but will be good to see him anyway.

Starting now.

1 zip Orlando

[BegbieHSC]

He fair gets about the pitch.

The commentators don’t know he’s signed for Hibs. They’re going on about an “unnamed European club” signing him on a pre-contract. Deary me 🙈🙈

[Vault Boy]

Commentator doesn't know he's signed for us lol

[matty_f]

Looks decent so far. Quick, plenty energy and good on the ball. A very exciting signing.

[BegbieHSC]

Looks like he plays across the 3 forward positions, moving between RW, ST and LW. Would fit our system with Boyle and Nisbet.

[Unseen work]

I’m glad not a lot of people will be watching this 😬😂

He’s hardly been involved, although not down to him not trying. When he has got on the ball he’s kept it largely safe and put in a good cross.

Lots of energy, good runs and quite pacey. He reminds me of the sort of singer Celtic and Rangers would sign that whilst they’re not always involved or skin men, they pop up in good areas and score goals / get assists.

Pleasantly surprised at the standard and pace of the game, if he does well for them in that league I can’t see any reason why he can’t do it for us.

[Vault Boy]

Thought that was pretty boring to be honest, Mueller barely involved. Not really his fault mind, Miami haven't done much beside score.

Nani is such an obvious standout at this level.

[Greencore]

I feel he reads the game well, there was a moment in the first half where he ran at the defenders and showed good skill and technique. Hasn't had much of the ball (no fault of his own) always wanting a pass always trying to get involved.

Looks good and I think he will fit in nicely with our team and Scottish football.

I watched the last 15 minutes of the 1st half.
Was pretty boring with our new guy barely involved.
He does a lot of running, covering a lot of the pitch. Up and down up and down.
Played the safe pass on the few occasions he received the ball.
Can I stay awake for the 2nd half?
Doubtful.

It's because of his stupid hair colour/style!

[Vault Boy]

We finally get a shout out!

[Allez Hibs]

He looks pretty decent! Promising signing.

Subbed after 73 mins
Super fit grafter.

[Haymaker]

Needs to pull those socks up. We have standards here.

[04Sauzee]

Looks like he's in the squad for the game against Atlanta, will be interesting to see if he's in the starting 11 and if so how he plays.

Is that based on the opening 3 minutes of tonight's match or from watching them before this?

Just the first 3 mins and after 23 mins in. No tracking in midfield. Nani has a free role that means the team is all over the place. Very little structure to this team. IMO.

[King Cosell]

Great header, 1-1. Both goals excellent.

[Unseen work]

Just missed a very good chance. Sitter or good save.

On the volley from 6 yards out but straight at keeper who reacted well.

I only watched the first half. He worked hard but as i had mentioned the set up of the team is something we wouldn't see over here. Players seem to be all over the place.

I watched the full game, for the first half hour he was played on the right where all Orlando”s play was coming from and he had some good touches and played some great through balls to the overlapping wingback but he was then switched to the left and seen a lot less of the ball as all play continued down the right hand side but all things considered he looked good, I think he will fit in well, looks like a good signing

[Jim44]

I’m looking forward to seeing him at ER but I don’t think it will be till next year. All this talk about getting him in early is going nowhere.

Yeah, he doesn't get many. Looking at his career stats, 38 in 205 apps, and 29 of those were at St Mirren.

I saw him play once last season, can't recall who against, but I remember thinking that he had an excellent game. Was playing in an attacking role from the midield.....

[matty_f]

Watching this game, he’s barely featured so far, 23 minutes in.

[Magpie]

So I’ve heard there is no chance of him joining until January.

He can do whatever he wants if he comes in and starts scoring goals :agree:

[Brummie_Hibs]

Had genuinely forgotten all about him

[CMurdoch]

Think he has been injured.
Hopefully the rest has done him good.
The game ended in a 1-1 draw.
Orlando play their next game on Monday.
Game is against top of the Eastern Conference New England.

Did he sign a 4 year deal?

Good 'full field goal'.

Not to turn this all negative on Hibs, but I'm sure we could do that sometimes.

We could, if we didn't face packed defences when playing the majority of teams in the league.

Open goal with the whole goal to aim for yet he hit it to the goalies side and the goalie nearly saved it.

Rubbish! Cancel his contract now! :devil:

We urgently need striker options to support Nissy so hoping he hits the ground running come January.

i'm sure one of our .net lyrical geniuses would have came up with a catchy choon for him ;)




anyways..i'm baffled at the MLS league formations, i watched Portland timbers(Western conference) v Inter Miami(Eastern conference) a couple of sundays back, then the next fixture they played sides from their own leagues :hmmm:

Usually you play your conference home and away then once against every team in the other conference. However I think this year it is lopsided due to uneven numbers and xovid restrictions.

Kind of like the NFL, you play games against your division rivals, then a selection of teams from elsewhere to pad out the season.

Seems fairly complex!

There's a reasonable logic to how the fixtures work in the NFL, but this year the games are just a way to pass time waiting to cash in three top ten picks in the next draft.

I think his contract is up mid December, he'll probably be over here then to meet the players and set up digs etc, and be back for January, so I'd expect him to do some training before he joins officially.
