What’s the thoughts on the new signing looks like a decent player who has played at a decent level in the championship

Looking online, am glad he has had a hair cut 😁

[Unseen work]

Never heard of him until today.

But on paper and from his clips, it looks like we’ve got a player that we really have no right to get - it wouldn’t surprise me if he played to his ability if rangers or Celtic took him for free in the summer.

As an added bonus I just watched his interview, he comes across absolutely brilliantly and very humble.

[Mikey_1875]

Incredible signing really. Didn’t think it was a market we would ever be shopping in pre-Foley rumours. Has to be a success :greengrin

[Since452]

Was on the bench against Liverpool last night in the Premier League. Comes with a good pedigree. A player we could only dream of signing without Foley. Hopefully a sign of things to come.

[Donegal Hibby]

Looks a real quality addition to our team . Delighted with this one 😀 . Well done Hibs .

Almost a certainty, just going to enjoy him while he's here and hope if (when) he does move on in the summer it's abroad or back down south.

Fantastic signing, brilliant stuff Hibs

Never heard of him but looks promising. Apparently a dead ball specialist, which we need.

Anyhow, an intriguing signing. Attacking midfielder.

Where does he play? Will we change shape to accommodate him?

Looks like a far higher calibre than anything we've signed recently so got to be positive about it.

As others have said, if we can get more players like this and less of, well, it's been done to death, then brilliant.

He will be straight into the role Vente has been playing leaving Vente to go back to scoring.

About a dozen goals from free kicks in this showreel. A few penalties too, get him on those.

Plus a free kick masterclass.

[DH1875]

So is he a free agent in the summer then?

[1875Sean]

So is he a free agent in the summer then?

He sure is, looking online it looks like he is on between 15-17k per week so may be out of our budget

[VoltaireHibs]

With this type of signing it will be our current 'star players' who will be on the bench, that in itself will make a huge difference. Some noses may be out of joint but hey ho, it definitely feels a bit more competitive, players are really going to have to earn a place in the midfield and attack. Get the defence sorted and we will be a much stronger proposition.

A few of the current bunch will be calling their agents I suspect. Top work all round, hopefully he lives up to his pedigree.

[Torto7]

I asked some Bournemouth fans on twitter and they all said he was a class player and a good guy.

[cubehindthegoal]

If they did a version that had four greens and no other colour … it’d be a collector item … just saying … 😂

[allezsauzee]

A great opportunity for him to put himself in the shop window for a contract in the summer. Let's just enjoy him while he's here though , I don't think he'll be anywhere near the SPFL after this loan spell. That won't stop the Daily Rangers putting out a story that he'll be signing for Sevco in the summer in the build up to when we play them at the end of March of course.

[Irish_Steve]

There is an argument to be made that the pen is mightier than the player using it.

Well, it is supposed to be mightier than the sword but I know which one I would want in a fight even if the pen does have four colours

Unless your Jason Bourne

I’ve a theory that there’s a cryptic meaning, depending on which colour he uses.

Have Bournemouth offered him anything for next season? It seems strange to me they'd send him to us on £16k per week when they could have just made him available on a free if they don't want him back.

Having a quick glance at our potential first eleven, I can't see many lads that would be ugly enough to have signed for Hearts.

Back in the day my teenage sister had posters of Cormack, Marinello and Cropley on her wall.

I wonder if that's still a thing with some of our female supporters? Or has it died a death since 'Greek God' Macgregor retired?

Presumambly Hibs are paying a small portion of his wages though which compensates Bournemouth.

If Bournemouth make him available on a free they'd still have to pay his full wages. So the loan better for them.

[KWJ]

Get him up to speed quickly, avoid injuries and he could be a huge player for us for the rest of the season.

Excited about these loans. Find loan players that want to be here and it's a great way to shop above ourselves and raise the standard.

So easy to get wrong though if the player's heart isn't in it which is understandable when you see the amount of loans some go through.

When he scores a last minute screamer from 25 yards against Hearts, Dubai won't seem like such a "frivolous folly" any more

[Up-the-slope]

when did we last have a player who was a free kick specialist? and who are the all time ones you remember...

It seems an age since we had a player who you expected to work the keeper if not score anywhere from 25 yards out...

Best I have seen would be Sauzee, Riordan and number one, Griffiths.

[Is It On....]

Mallan scored a few peaches for us, the one against Hearts was Riordan-esque.

Just looked him up and he is still only 27 (albeit 28 in Match) 😬

[JohnM1875]

Anyone else notice not long after he came on he was standing screaming and pointing at Jeggo to make the switch out wide to Stevenson, Jeggo obviously didn't. Just thought, poor guy, he's no idea what he's let himself in for.

[Nakedmanoncrack]

One bright spot tonight, enough flashes to suggest he could be a decent acquisition.

[Callum_62]

Wont be fit of course but within a very short time period you could tell he's a player

Composure and awareness immediately apparent

Look forward to seeing more.

You're really forgetting about Griffiths and Mallan? I always expected Leigh to at least work the goalkeeper at every set piece. He scored some great free kicks for Hibs and Scotland.

Could tell he’s not sharp but what I noticed more than anything was that he seems to have a bit of confidence and attitude about him that the rest don’t.

As soon as he came on to the park he tried to get the rest of them going. And he didn’t hide, he wanted the ball all over the park.

Hope we can get him up to speed quick enough to have some kind of impact.

[Mikey_1875]

Early signs are he could be the man to link up midfield and attack. Thought his movement and passing in the first ten minutes he came on made us a lot sharper. Looked obvious he is used to a higher level imo.

[Stuart93]

I thought he looked good can tell he has that “football IQ” it’s just a pity about the players round about him

I did have to watch it from the corner flag though so my view was obscured

[California-Hibs]

Guys a player, could tell his touch and composure was miles ahead of the rest of the Hibs team. Looking forward to see him from here on out.

[sorryfolks]

Enjoy him for the next 5 months because there’s no way he’ll stay on beyond the end of the season. There was 3 or 4 times he turned round after pressing expecting someone to be backing him up only to have Lundstrum standing in 20 yards of space and just through his hands up in exasperation. The incident with Megwa, Jeggo and Youan not switching it out to Obita did make me laugh though. Must have been pointing at him for a good 10 seconds telling them to switch it before finally him getting the ball himself and making the pass

[wookie70]

Guys a player, could tell his touch and composure was miles ahead of the rest of the Hibs team. Looking forward to see him from here on out. To me it was the fact he looked interested and eager that pleased me most. Like a player trying to make a positive first impression as is traditional on a debut. The other two debutants looked like they were a bit disappointed that their career was continuing on a downward spiral. Stubbs had a good record at getting playing back to former glories but I always think when players start regressing more often than not it is terminal. Very early though so who knows they may work out

[6-2MAGIC]

You can tell already he’s above our level. What really pleased me with him tonight was he showed more leadership and passion the time he was on the pitch than any other player out there that we had. Seen him a few times talking to individual players clapping his hands and encouraging them - not one player before hand was noising the team up

One game in. Clearly looks a step up and like others will need a few weeks to get to speed. Good opportunity as if I was him would be thinking i can get a few goals up here.

[yerauldda]

I felt embarrassed watching the rest of the team try and play with him.
Just before Levitt was substituted, Marcondes was showing him how to pass the ball after Levitt had passed it out of play under no pressure.
A long 5 months ahead for Marcondes. Hoping he can have a similar effect to Eremenko when he played for Killie, he managed to make Conor Sammon a prolific striker.

That's something I've noticed for a long time, when we concede a goal it's like we are beat, hesds drop and no one is showing any signs of motivation to get back into it, it's like we just accept it, we have a team full of losers atm, I mind being 2-0 down to that Greek mob in Europe and watching McGinn gee everyone up, we came back and won and that was just the mentality of that team. We really need some men in the team, even your Hanlon's and Stevenson's that have been here forever and should get it, they are so quiet.

In regards to your last paragraph, that’s been the case for a few years now, barring maybe a couple exceptions.

Easter Road has been a library for a few years. Since Lennon really.

It’s sound for the **** who know their team should be beating (almost) everyone they play at home, and generally that’s how it goes.

I'd argue social media is probably the sole blame at this point. Hibs fans have always had an element of the support that likes a boo boy, it's become almost unbearable at times recently though.

I know we all have our opinions on rocky but the situation with him last season was the first real eye opener. There's a huge difference between criticism and flat out abuse and personal insults, on social media our vocal fans tend to lean towards the latter more often than not.

Doidge shut his public Insta last year too, as did Newell.

[The Spaceman]

Could see he was watching and almost wanting to coach our team from the sidelines as a sub, then when he came on he was showing everywhere for the ball, directing those around him and showed some nice touches. Looks a natural born leader.

For me, I saw enough in his cameo last night to think he’s light years ahead football IQ wise versus the rest of our team. Enjoy him whilst he’s here.

Good. I’m glad NM has realised that the team lacks leaders and has addressed that.

Hopefully Amos is a leader and the centre half we get is too.

That could transform the team.
