Kukharevych

[truehibernian]

Really like the look of him, has everything you want in a main striker. If there’s any chance of a permanent deal we should make it a priority.

Strength, bit of pace, brave and good finisher.

The other strikers have a job on their hands to wrestle the shirt off him, top player with bags of potential.

[SheriffLobo]

Agree totally, love what he brings to the team and haven’t had a player like him in years! If we can sign him permanently I would be delighted

If only we could afford him on a longer term, he is the real deal as a centre forward, looking forward to watching him wi Nisbet or Melkerson, till Nisbet gets up to match fitness.

:flag::flag::flag:

[Juice-Terry]

Sign him up!

[tamig]

I suspect he’ll be way out of our price range. If his form continues to go upwards there will be a few clubs sniffing around.

[SChibs]

Great to see a young player come to us on loan and make an impact rather than just filling a space on the bench

[Mikey_1875]

Really good all-rounder. If that is him on the goal trail now then he could be the difference between us getting a european spot or not.

[Col2]

His goal today was a brilliant strikers goal.

[Trinity Hibee]

Have said it before, if we were to get 3rd he is the type of forward you want leading the line in Europe. Impressive player

[hibee_girl]

He's excellent, really hope we can work something out to keep him.

His goal today when he won the ball back was brilliant.

[Since452]

He's clearly a good player. Great find by Ian and the team.

[Tambo]

Impressive game from Myko.

Took his goal really well with a great strike with the left foot.

[A Hi-Bee]

Do you think that the City Group would take pity on us and allow us to pay his transfer on the drip (much less than normal, i mean)
With L.J. being well in wi them who knows, he may also bring some more of them in, but Tam the bam MacManus is against us getting players as good as them.

[Billy Whizz]

Who is he on loan from?

Troyes. They are part of the City Football Group.

[RyeSloan]

His goal today was a brilliant strikers goal.

Said that at the game…was second best for the ball but never gave up and then a sublime finish.

Has looked the real deal from the get go and was only a matter of time before the goals started to come.

[Billy Whizz]

Troyes. They are part of the City Football Group.

Contracted to them until 2026, so no chance by the looks of signing him

[Steven1985]

Very talentent young man / athlete with a ton of potential. I don't think we have a chance of keeping him, but for now he plays for Hibs :-)

[random sub]

I take it we don’t have an option to buy as part of the loan deal?

[hibee_girl]

How long is his loan deal?

[Sir David Gray]

How long is his loan deal?

Just this season.

[B.H.F.C]

Loved his goal today. Gogic wanted to fight him and it wasn’t happening.

[Alfred E Newman]

He was excellent today and improving with every match.

[JimBHibees]

Quality player two footed good technique decent physically and can finish. Great signing.

[Pretty Boy]

Looks a cut above. I liked Doidge but the big man looks a big step up.

Best big man we have had since Mixu.

[Sir David Gray]

He's a million times more effective than the Doidge we had most recently. The Doidge of a few seasons ago was good but Kukharevych looks very good from what I've seen so far.

[Steven1985]

Looks a cut above. I liked Doidge but the big man looks a big step up.

Best big man we have had since Mixu. Big, mentally up for it and talented. He'll frighten any defence in the SPL

[HibeeSince85]

Excellent footballer. I don't think he'll be here next season as I reckon he'll now go on and bang the goals in and either get in the Troyes team or a move for decent money.

Had a great view of his goal and the way he outmuscled the defender and finished was class

[JimBHibees]

[theonlywayisup]

Very talented young player. As others have said pity we can't sign him.

[A Hi-Bee]

Sure there will be others from the City Group, L.J. has already said that we can tap into the conveyor belt of talent they have, just as long as Tam Thebam McManus agrees?

[truehibernian]

Absolutely

If he scores goals, we get Europe, for his development another season loan could be realistic if we can’t sign him permanently. European football, regular football, possible national recognition- you never know.

[SHODAN]

If there's any way to get him in permanently we should be looking at it now.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Will hit double figures if we keep playing him. Top player.

[DaveF]

He's more than decent and if we can keep him, then we absolutely should.

[PaulSmith]

A great find from Lee Johnson and well done to the rest of the guys to get him signed up.

[GreenCastle]

He’s only recently turned 21 too and not getting phased by some of the physical players he’s up against.

Felt he will score more and he just seems to be a focal point for us when he’s on the pitch.

Took his goal well today - well worth a watch below if you haven’t seen it.

[Baldy Foghorn]

Great player, holds it up well, big and strong. Took his goal ever so well. I was gutted his goal was chalked off early on in match, as it was a sublime ball from JN

[JammyDoidger]

Quality btw, said it for weeks, he really should be on a goal a game. So unlucky not to be.

[3pm]

Bucking the trend, and without seeking controversy, I wouldn't.

[AFKA5814_Hibs]

Bucking the trend, and without seeking controversy, I wouldn't.

Really? Personally I think he's far better than anything we have upfront in apart from maybe Nisbet, who's injured. McKirdy or Youhan? Nah.

[Green Reaper]

Bucking the trend, and without seeking controversy, I wouldn't.

Don’t think he would want you to anyway😬

[NAE NOOKIE]

Its been kind of slow and steady for me, up until recently he was kind of just working his way in, but now he has scored at Dundee Utd, a goal only the ref didn't think was legit, scored against St Johnstone and scored an absolute peach today by winning a ball he was very much 2nd best for and then planting a beautiful finish past the keeper. There was one point in the 2nd half where he laid off a super pass from a ball coming at him at about a hundred miles an hour, the guy has a touch too.

I doubt we will be able to keep him, but if his steady week on week improvement continues there's no chance we will, there's clearly a player in there.

[bigwheel]

One to enjoy while he is here. No chance imo we can keep him - he is a young guy , will
Develop Lots and go on to play at a good level. Quality [emoji119][emoji119][emoji119]

[MJ hibs]

Proper striker who can bully centre backs. Brilliant.

Will be interesting if Johnson puts nisbet upfront with him. Definitely don't think nisbet can replace him as a sole CF.

[Carheenlea]

Looks the real deal and sadly a level above us which we will unfortunately means we will just have to enjoy him while we can.

[Gmack7]

Looks the real deal and sadly a level above us which we will unfortunately means we will just have to enjoy him while we can.

I get what you mean, but he's not a level above us just now, he fits in well and is improving each week, 2 or 3 years down the line he has every chance of being at a far higher level than us unfortunately

[davym7062]

Best big man we have had since Mixu.Totally. And he's more mobile than Mixu, does both parts of a main strikers job well. You wonder what he could do with a partner in tune with him. We are still looking for that blend but great potential.

He had a good game but I wouldn't say he is anywhere near above our level yet. Clearly has talent though and luckily for us we have him here while he is learning

[RupertsBollocks]

Troyes. They are part of the City Football Group.

No way we’ll be signing him on a permanent then. I reckon he’ll only get better as the seasons goes, so let’s just enjoy him while we can.

Re signing him permanently: never say never. The gunts have netted £4m odd from the conference league. That kind of money, spent wisely could make a huge difference.

[GreenPJ]

A good young player who is getting better but still has lots to work on. His first touch reminds me of GOC. It needs a lot of work but there is lot of potential and hopefully keeps the run going.

[Big_Franck]

"Spent wisely" is the key to that sentence. They'll just spend it on more Kios and Jorge Grants anyway.

Decent performance and great goal from the big man yesterday. Hope we see the same at Pittodrie.

[hibsbollah]

You just know Neilsen would love to have him :greengrin
I had a quick look at what Troyes do with their young strikers over the last couple of years and it’s the same process; scout the most impressive youngsters, youth or B team for a few years, then send them to a foreign league for one season, then either repeat the loan to a different league if not successful and if they like the look of the player at his first loan club get them back in the Troyes first team for season 2

I’d be amazed if Abu Dhabi change the way they do things in Kukharevychs case.

[JimBHibees]

Yes hopefully that is the case and works for both parties.

[18Craig75]

I think Myko and Melkersen could form a decent partnership. It would mean Boyle moving to the left or right, which in turn would mean Cadden or Cabraja dropping out which seems harsh. Although with Boyle being injured we might get to see it.

4-3-3 would solve it.

[BegbieHSC]

I’d love to get him on a perm, but that seems unlikely tbh.

I’m fairly sure Troyes are part of the City group, so if he does well for us, he’ll end up being sold to another club in the same group, until the group can make a tidy profit on him.

The same people owning multiple clubs should absolutely be illegal, but as for now, it makes signing players permanently with quality potential from them extra challenging.

Get an early bid in might work.

[Hibees1973]

Suited for the game up here.

Strong and not easily pushed off the ball, even when he is sometimes isolated up front.

Has scope to improve as well as he has only played just over 20 club games in the last couple of years.

One of the few good signings out of all the numerous punts made by Ron's son.

You really don't like Ian do you

[Hibbyradge]

Said at the game he reminded me of Kamberi.

I think he's a class above that.

Mind you, I can't explain exactly why, but I never quite took to Kamberi even during his phenomenally successful loan period.

Of course, I was pleased that we managed to sign him at the last minute after the Swiss club were trying to renege on our agreement, but something about him just didn't sit right with me.

As I said, I can't quite put my finger on why, but it felt sort of like he was incredibly lucky because everything he touched went right, even when that was the unlikely outcome.

It transpired that the loan period was, indeed, a huge purple patch and his contribution after he signed permanently, and then with his subsequent clubs, didn't come close to matching it.

Mykola looks the real deal to me, though. Such a pity we only have him for one season.

[CentreLine]

Kukharevych looks an outstanding talent in the making. On loan fir a year but with a recall clause in the winter window. I sincerely hope he stays for the season and would love for us to be able to afford him. That said, if Kevin Nisbet steps up to the plate with his full potential then we are covered. If he does not then we are in need of another Kukharevych.

[Clarence]

I thought so too. I was at the open training day and thought that Melkerson and Kukharevych looked like they have very complementary skill sets, so hopefully they can form an effective partnership.

Johnson said we had no chance of signing him when joined us. He was seen as a long term project for the City group and there was talk of him moving from Troyes to Man City.

The move came about through Johnson’s contacts, we had done very little work on scouting him as he wasn’t seen as a potential option but was offered to us.

The Doidge move paid for Fish, Kuka and Mckirdy in terms of wages as well.

We likely aren't paying kuka or fish much.

If we got a loan fee of say c50,000 and killie take 3k of doidgee's wage, it could be £500 a week for kuka and fish each and 2k a week for mckirdy.

[bigwheel]

without facts speculating on loan fees and salaries seems a waste of a post …getting back to the thread - what an upgrade he’s been on Doidge. His work rate and application is everything you want from a loan player - already looks like one of our own . Let’s enjoy him while he’s here, and look forward to see how high he can climb in his career …quality addition.

I'm not so sure.

Kuharevych will be paid by his parent club because this move is part of his planned development so we'll just be giving a contribution.

Fish and McKirdy won't be on big salaries so the total for all 3 could well have been paid for by Doidge.
