[1van Sprou7e]

Seems to have played at a decent level and a position we desperately needed to strengthen

Also won the the cup in both Australia and Austria 👀

[Bostonhibby]

I'm pretty happy with this attempt to fill an embarrassingly long running problem area.

Welcome to the Hibernian roller coaster James.

Think theres a bit of thought both ways. He can if he get’s international clearance, whether or not we get that in time is another thing. Could this be a wee mind game from Hibs?

[Unseen work]

No idea if he’s good or not but happy we’ve signed someone with a decent amount of experience and at a decent level for a problem area.

In the past I have got really excited about potential players who turned out to be rubbish, I’ve also been underwhelmed by players who turn out to be brilliant.

Welcome JJ and hopefully start with a win tomorrow!

[basehibby]

This sounds like a good solid signing - someone that should be able to step straight into the starting eleven and add a bit of steel to an area that's been desperately in need of strengthening. Welcome to the Hibees James :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:

[Keith_M]

Welcome to our very own Austrian Australian.

Probably transfermarket, I looked at him on FM as I've never heard of him and he was valued at over £750k on that, I wouldn't put too much into their valuations tbh, FM had Melkersen valued at £4m 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

For the love of god i just hope he’s decent

[Since452]

Definitely a problem area of the park. Not a "wow" signing but I'm not bothered about that. Let's see how he gets on first then we can form an opinion.

[Broxburn Greens]

Was wondering if we paid a fee, what’s a fair amount though? £250,000 or something 🤷*♂️

For me it confirms that Porto transfer is a done deal barring him getting injured tomorrow which has generated the cash for this signing.

At least he’s not a “potential” or “project” player.

Well experienced and at a good age, looking forward to seeing what he has to offer.

Hopefully not the last bit of good news for us this weekend.

[Bridge hibs]

Rumour going about is we paid a fair amount...Whats the rumoured fee going about ?

[cameronw-hfc]

If anyone cares his current ability is 120 out of 200 rated on football manager, puts him in the same ability level bracket as Boyle. Know it's a video game but they're pretty detailed with their stats and ratings😂.

In all seriousness, he looks a cracking signing.

[Glory Lurker]

I'm not sure that ring he's wearing is big enough though, could probably do with about another kilo of metal on it.

Ken you've got uncharacteristically scunnered by Hibs of late, but we've bought him for that ring. Pure iridium. He's on 18 months but we've got lifetime on the ring. You were too quick to scorn ODS.

[Mutu]

The stats are done by fans of the clubs, if they don't like a player, the stats will be worse, some better than others but as you say, it's just a simulation game and a bit of fun, to be ignored when it comes to real life.

FM use real world scouts that watch players something like 10 times a season to base their stats off of, I tend to trust them when they say someone’s a player

In fact they're not, unfortunately the ME can be beaten easily if you get a good tactic, that's why it's nowhere near real life and probably why it can be quite addictive, trying to get Hibs into Champions league spots and winning the cups, all a bit of fun and escapism.

Yes, but preferably uninjured and not an old man with no pace.

Hence why you don't take FM as gen as there are faults in it, remember it's just a game after all, I get bored with it after a good few weeks because it can be too easy to win with a good tactic.

No idea if he’s a player or not but played at a decent level and absolutely ready to come in and play straight away.

Have to adjust it everytime I play with the editor, does my head in😂. Hibs are actually reasonably rated on the game otherwise, don't think it's perfect to judge players but does have more accuracy than other video games so always worth a wee check when we sign someone.

On a similar note, their accuracy for predicting Wonder kids is usually pretty decent. Murray Johnson, Ethan Laidlaw and Macalister all fall into the wonder kid bracket if you get lucky with their PA so nice to see there.

I’ve seen him play for Adelaide but he never stood out too much probably due to his role .
Forza Fred and me watched him make his national team debut in Sydney on same night Martin Boyle had his.

[Forza Fred]

What are the Australian Hibs fans views on him?

I was actually at the match where he made his Socceroo debut…it was against Lebanon in Sydney, and I went because it was Martin Boyle’s starting debut for the Socceroos.

I have seen Jeggo play, but not that often so can’t offer a huge amount of detail.

He did play for the Socceroos, but wasn’t exactly an automatic choice…but in fairness to him he had the likes of Aaron Mooy and Tom Rogic to displace, so at a different time he may well have been a regular.

As I say, I really don’t know that much about him either….but I do recall that he seemed to have an enthusiastic approach…and I think we need that.

He DOES have international experience, and has kicked about in some decent European leagues, so After a few games to adjust to the frantic pace of Scottish football, he should turn out to be a regular I would think.

Like most on here, I’m interested to see how he goes, and hoping he turns out to be just what we need.

[Rumble de Thump]

One of my friends used to play for Stockport's youth team and the makers of Football Manager paid him each year to provide them with stats of all the players at the club. He said every player offered him money to improve certain stats for them. I think pace was the main one they always wanted boosted. He's head of analytics at Chelsea now.

I think he was involved in most of the qualifiers, got injured for the summer warm up games and then he lost his place to the players who stepped in.

It’s not something that concerns me. Sounds like he would have been a squad filler, if so, makes sense for them to take someone younger like the hearts **** Devlin. Doesn’t necessarily mean he’s better than him though.

[ChilliEater]

I remember him from his time in the A-league. He was young then, so he has had a lot of time to improve and seems to have played regularly at a decent level. In a defensive role, that experience to be able to read the game, anticipate and then make a relatively simple play could make him very effective now. I hope that's the case because otherwise I'd be filing him under that long line of Hibs midfielders - Benny Brazil, Jarko Wiss, Brian Kerr, Joe Keenan ...........

I'll also add that I was horrified when we signed Mark Milligan and he did okay for us, so I'm hardly the oracle and I'm probably guilty of under-estimating the A-league. I enjoy watching it, but think it's a good few levels below the SPL. That's probably harsh of me, but when he played for Victory or Adelaide against our team, Perth Glory, my boys and I would be shouting - "Give it to Jeggo!" and then roll around laughing.

I'm hoping he's become a really tidy, effective defensive mid who protects the defence and allows the likes of Magennis to break forward more.

As I say, I really don’t know that much about him either….but I do recall that he seemed to have an enthusiastic approach…and I think we need that.

He DOES have international experience, and has kicked about in some decent European leagues, so After a few games to adjust to the frantic pace of Scottish football, he should turn out to be a regular I would think.

Like most on here, I’m interested to see how he goes, and hoping he turns out to be just what we need.

Thanks for that. Cheers.

[Forza Fred]

When you say he had Tom Rogic as competition, do we think there’s more to him than a defensive/holding style player?

Not really, just giving an indication of what was in the Oz midfield….I guess Mark Milligan probably was another barrier he would have had to get past to get in the team too in his early days.

[basehibby]

I was actually at the match where he made his Socceroo debut…it was against Lebanon in Sydney, and I went because it was Martin Boyle’s starting debut for the Socceroos.

Great inside knowledge from Hibs.net's main man in Perth, Australia - that's one thing I love about this site - Hibees here Hibees there :thumbsup:

Can understand you'd have been more keeping an eye on Martin but if Jegga made an impression that you remember then that's something to go on - enthusiastic approach ... sounds like he has some energy about him - good - he'll need that if he's playing tomorrow!

I was in Perth once, for a few days with the late, great Jimmy O’Rourke, but been in Sydney nearly all of the time.

No enough snakes, spiders or sharks in Perth for my liking😂

[basehibby]

Definitely a problem area of the park. Not a "wow" signing but I'm not bothered about that. Let's see how he gets on first then we can form an opinion.

Maybe not a "wow" but I'd say a good signing and potentialy very good - he's a player that's been good enough to get international call ups for Australia without nailing down a regular place. Hopefully he has the ambition to win more caps and sees Hibs as a vehicle for doing that.

To bring a forward player on as we were chasing the game.

[cameronw-hfc]

Because he was on a yellow and one wrong tackle would be a red, going into a section of the game where it would be getting more stretched.

[Unseen work]

Hard to really tell based on that.

Never screamed quality and got an early booking which would have restricted him.

Tough game to make your debut and seemed to bypass the midfield for most the game.

What I will say is I thought our midfield restricted them, Campbell and Stevenson both doing well and probably dominated/limited them in there

They ran about a lot but complete lack of quality on the ball.

Just in from the game and I thought that was a quietly effective debut in a difficult fixture. He certainly wasn't overwhelmed or over awed. Did a lot of McGeouch style fetching and carrying and was astute positional wise in dropping in for wandering centre halves and spotting the need to adjust shape in response to what was going on around him.

Don't actually get the negativity about him. A bit odd.

Hard to pass any judgement on him really. The change in pace I reckon he will have thought it was almost a different sport he was playing.

Difficult to properly judge. First impression is he’s neat and tidy and steady. Maybe a small improvement in the short term but probably not the real quality we still need.

I thought he got stuck in, looked fit, reads the game well off teh ball and did well getting into the game considering it was played at a very quick tempo. He looked poor on the ball but our big problem is protecting our defence and he could be a decent addition for that role

[LaMotta]

He may go on to become a decent player for us so he needs some time but I cant actually believe people are saying he played well. He had a horrid first half, terrible distribution and gave away a cheap booking. Not a good debut.

He was very wasteful on the ball, gave it away countless times ( quite a few mistakes therefore!) - I wouldn't describe him as doing fine as a result of that in addition to the booking which meant he was walking on ice after that, but we are all entitled to our opinions.

Needs a chance to settle. A few good signs and will be handy in scrappy games I think. Top quality? No, but Hibs don't operate in that market.

Had to adjust his game based on the early yellow, but i liked what i seen. I've got no doubt he's going to be a good signing and a regular in the midfield, he also has good expierience too, something that we've lacked. More of these signings and less of the untried/inexpierienced (Kenneh/Tavares/Bojang etc)

He look way off the pace in the first half particularly.

Sorry but admittedly it’s a difficult first game, but he looked sub standard, lightweight and very poor in possession- nothing at all made me think we’ve got a good player there. Very very average and contributed very little.

[PH91]

4 times in the first half hearts skipped past him in the middle of the park as he sold himself. Possibly down to him trying a bit too hard to impress and going for balls he couldn't win, though.

He doesn't look like a player who wants or is particulalry good on the ball but is there to break up the play and protect the defence. From what i saw today he didn't look like an upgrade on kenneh in that regard. But only one game and a hard one to be thrown into so we will find out.

4 times in the first half hearts skipped past him in the middle of the park as he sold himself. Possibly down to him trying a bit too hard to impress and going for balls he couldn't win, though.

He doesn't look like a player who wants or is particulalry good on the ball but is there to break up the play and protect the defence. From what i saw today he didn't look like an upgrade on kenneh in that regard. But only one game and a hard one to be thrown into so we will find out.
Thought he did well, put himself about.

I liked him.

He got stuck in but the early yellow clearly restricted him.

I’d have him over Newell tbh.Agree with that, can't help but think he was always on hiding to nothing when this game was your debut.
