evidently so ...

[hibsbollah]

…The new Joe Baker

[Nakedmanoncrack]

Never heard of him, but looks a decent signing.

[neil7908]

I've actually heard of him. Which means nothing tbh...

[ehf]

…The new Joe Baker

The new Jim Blair.

Long as he’s better than our last few Americans, which shouldn’t be hard

I genuinely did know of him and more than a little surprised we got him to Easter Road. Looking forward to seeing him and expecting good things.

[heretoday]

Hoppy!!! Great! He can slot straight in to Kev's role.

[hibsbollah]

The new Jim Blair.

These sort of posts make me Hoppeing mad

[hstn747]

If we revert to long balls it will be a case of 'Hit & Hoppe'...

[gbhibby]

Hoppe springs eternal.

[Dashing Bob S]

Not meaning to be too critical but Hoppe seemed to really be going places and his career looks to have badly stalled in the last year. Why this should be I don’t know. But I hoppe he resurrects it here.

[Alfiembra]

Hoppe he’s not another treatment table signing.

[overdrive]

He obviously played in the friendly during the World Cup break but I don't really remember him. I remember some a big thug up front playing against us but the more I think about it, I think that was the Norwich game I'm thinking of.

Anybody remember him from the friendly? If so, what was he like?

How is his surname pronounced? Hoppy? Hope? Hoppay? Hoppeh?

[AgentDaleCooper]

can't help but think of this

Hoppeee

[sadtom]

Plenty song options though.
Some reworking of XTCs Life begins at the hop perhaps?
Or more obviously, Danny and the Juniors…

Lets go Matthew Hoppe (oh baby - optional :wink::greengrin)
x4
Watching Matty scoring, hear the Hibees roaring Matthew Hop hop hop.
And repeat.

[MM19]

The new Jim Blair.

Hopefully no but if he scores against the huns you never know

[Wilson]

Can I be the first to welcome you to the club and wish you every success while you are here.

Quite poor of club representatives if they didn't welcome him.

[Ronniekirk]

Roughly how long will it take for his clearance to play take ? Given Nissy injury we could do with him being able to come off the bench v st Mirren

[Hibbyradge]

An American Nishy

I hope so.

[Hibbyradge]

I asked my Boro supporting mate about him. He doesn't say much, but here's his reply:

He came in under Warner and hasn't really had much time on the pitch to be honest. He's played a few games for the U23s and scored a few. He's recently been off with the US team. He looks quite quick and can beat a man but genuinely haven't seen enough of him to tell you he'll be a world beater. Think there's potential there so hoping you'll turn him into the finished article!

[Donegal Hibby]

Let's hoppe he hits the ground running :greengrin

[HoboHarry]

Let's hoppe he hits the ground running :greengrin
If he doesn't, .netters won't leave him with a leg to stand on....

Not too hard, the treatment room is filling up again 🫣

Aye your thinking of Norwich. Boy was a complete roaster.Jordan Hugill if my memory serves me right

Hoppe definitely played in the friendly in November.

If you mean work permit, he must already have one as he was at Boro. If you mean FIFA international clearance, this is normally quick (that's how both Boyle and Jeggo could both play almost immediately after signing). Can't see any reason Hoppe wouldn't be available on Saturday.

[147lothian]

Ach well he is young and wants game time so he might be a good fit, good to see a player willing to move to get first team action rather than just sitting there picking up a wage, shows a bit of ambition, the timing of his move might be perfect with Nisbet looking like he pulled a hamstring on Tuesday. Best of luck to him I hope he gets some game time on Saturday.

Looks like quite similar player to Nisbet hopefully does a job for us.

That's what I was thinking going by his interview on Hibs TV.

yep he can play v St Mirren

[greenpaper55]

That's what I was thinking going by his interview on Hibs TV.

He is a big lad , he is 6-3 so his stats say so a a different dimension up front.

[H18 SFR]

Some good touches today and stuck at it. Looks like he needs to get up to speed though.

[Mikey_1875]

Didn’t get any service in a stuffy game. Thought he looked a little green at times but it was a tough task for him today.

[Irish_Steve]

An American Nishy

Damn, that means his hands on knees blowing out his bahookie after ten minutes and continually being offside

I loved big Colin in fact when I was picking up a new bike in Musselburgh a few years back I don’t know if I was more excited about getting the bike or literally turning a corner and walking straight into him lol

[AL-Qaholik]

It’s the Hoppe that kills you…

[Unseen work]

A lot more mobile and pacey than I expected.

Will take him a while to get used to the pace and physically.

Weather was brutal and service to him was just as bad.

Hard to judge but has some attributes where you can see Hoppe….

Yep just looked a bit off it physically however as you say his movement looked good which is a big plus in our league.

[B.H.F.C]

Thought he was poor to be honest. He’s either not very strong or just didn’t expect the physicality.

[Hibee Mac]

Didn't look up to much today, but he's been chucked in to a game earlier than expected with minging conditions.

We'll be seeing more of him as there are no other options, keen to see more of him at Easter road and see what he's got about him. Anyone who scores a hat trick in the bundesliga must have something about them.

Absolutely

He looked like he was made of rubber. He was literally bouncing about all over the place. Thought he looked better after we scored , was more involved and held it up a little .

[JohnM1875]

Surely its pronounced Hop and not Hoppy?!

[Hibee Mac]

Surely its pronounced Hop and not Hoppy?!That's what I would have thought too, but he's American so you never know

[Since452]

He's of German heritage so the e is probably pronounced.

[Big_Franck]

He's of German heritage so the e is probably pronounced.

I watched a video of the US national team manager talking about him and he was pronouncing it like Hoppy.

[Hibbyradge]

He's of German heritage so the e is probably pronounced.

Wouldn't the e be pronounced "eh" rather than "ee"? :dunno:

[Iain G]

Eh?

Zackly like that.

So it's pronounced Math_eh_u? Strange folks these Germans...

What’s his nickname going to be then. Hops?

[Iain G]
