Maolida

[LaMotta]

It’s simple stuff but, in the two of them, we now have a couple of players with a genuine bit of quality who can do something out of very little.

:agree: They have also played in huge games at huge stadiums in front of hostile crowds. The type of player that shouldnt be fazed by a derby - hoping for big games from them on Wednesday.

[Kato]

His goal yesterday was like Vaz-Te before he left and became **** hot at West Ham (and I think a team before them).Good spot.

We should be getting the ball through the midfield and up to him as quickly as we possibly can, farting about at the back, splitting the centre halves is eye bleeding stuff that causes us more trouble than we gain in my opinion.

If we had a few more better player yes, but certainly not with most of this lot.

Just get it forward to the quality players in our team.

Moving the ball forward quickly allows the other team to just sit in. They don’t need to press us to get the ball back. That’s why all the top teams pass the ball around the back 3/4/5 waiting for an opposition player to break their shape and off we go.

[Victor]

Watching the Bournemouth (Hibs A team!) v City game yesterday I could see Maolida fitting comfortably into the Bournemouth team, as they seem to be all about attacking. Perhaps he is a target for them and could be loaned back to us. Might just be wishful thinking.

Agree to an extent however we were so much better yesterday when we stopped doing that

It's not very difficult to understand the reasons why we try and play this way, i just find it difficult to understand why we continue to do it and kept doing it with the players we had and still have available.

We are not very good at it, and give up the ball in some very silly positions which then give the opposition some decent opportunities at scoring.

I'd rather they earnt their chances rather than hand them to them on a plate.

Good sides press well and pass the ball quickly and sharply, we dont until we are either behind or need a goal quickly.

[Hermit Crab]

I think he was caught out on his debut at how fast and physical our league is. He's getting up to speed now though and he is a joy to watch at times.

We were much better after we got a lucky penalty and Dundee had to come out to try and score.

Lucky penalty? We were well on top and in truth, it was only a matter of time before we scored. Dundee were offering absolutely nothing at all.

There was no ‘lucky penalty’ by the way. :aok:

[MWHIBBIES]

I’d love to see a statement of intent from the club and actually going to Hertha and buying Myziane outright.

The sort of player that gets the fans off the seats.

Think we all would. Reality says no chance though.

[WeeRussell]

I can see how someone would think it was a touch fortunate that their keeper turned into a maniac for a few seconds.

[Hibernian Verse]

Sorry, I didn’t mean it was lucky we got it but it was a moment of madness from the goalie rather than us drawing a foul.

[Cabbage-Patch]

I wonder how much we would genuinely have to spend to get him on a perm. Think we could probably afford the fee. Wages on the other hand...

At least 1.5/2M i reckon (one year left on contract)

[Gmack7]

I think they paid 4 million for him. I can't see them getting 2 million for a player in the final year of his contract and described by the coach as one of the laziest players he's ever seen

You’d imagine they would want to try and recuperate as much for him as poss. Genuinely hope I’m miles off and we can get him for as cheap as poss, if there is a chance of that.

I’ve been relentless on here lately, bemoaning how we are crying out for Newell etc to really step up and show the opponent who’s boss.

[overdrive]

I was very critical of him after the first match. He's proved me and a few others wrong. Hopefully there's a way to keep him but I reckon one of the OF might come sniffing around.

Just looks so easy for him against slapstick Scottish defending.

He could score 30+ goals if he was at it for an entire season.

He is here on loan for a reason after not making an impact at his last club. He may well turn out to look like a 10 million striker but it is very early days. Dom scored 22 goals in the equivalent of 41 games albeit at a lower level and was a really good player for us

You could see Shaughnessy **** himself every time Maolida got the ball. Same again against Atkinson on Wednesday please.

He’ll rue that chance for sure but he’s put some shift in since arriving. Has a bit more completeness than Youan. A joy to watch

[hibsbollah]

Hes a class act but that was poor. Unbelievable chance. Only possible mitigation was he may have seen it late over the jambo defenders head.

[Hiber-nation]

Frustrating night for him. Definitely prefer him to Youan though.

[CL0762]

Thought he had a very quiet first half but had the freedom of the left hand side for about 20 mins after half time.

He’ll be seeing that header in his sleep the night.

So will I.

[Logie]

If there’s any chance at all would break the bank for him, more game time he’s only going to get better, guys a baller and works his backside off. Really enjoying watching him play.

[Onceinawhile]

I've enjoyed him so far, but thought he was pretty anonymous tonight. apart from the sitter he missed.

[LaMotta]

I've enjoyed him so far, but thought he was pretty anonymous tonight. apart from the sitter he missed.

By his standards he was quiet - but some of his touches, and his ability to get space and get away from a man were still of unbelievable quality.

[Torto7]

Weird I though he and Emiliano were the two best on the pitch. Some of their touches are top class. I thought Boyle was off it again tonight.

Maolida gave the ball away far too much first half. Second half was better. Got to score though, really bad miss.

[Glasgowhibby95]

I’ve got to say I’m surprised at some of the comments saying they thought Maolida was off the pace tonight. I thought some of his touches and built up play were exceptional and a class above most of the other players on show. The header at the back post was a sitter in anyone’s book but that aside I thought he was excellent. He gets better week on week as he builds fitness and is definitely someone we should be looking to sign permanently if at all possible. Would score 20+ in this league if fully fit.

He wasn’t terrible by any stretch but when you know there’s so much more he can offer then your left slightly disappointed.
I agree with you though, if there’s anything we can do to keep this guy then it needs done.
Getting him to enjoy his football and maybe a wee cup win might just help persuade him.

That was Youan who put that great cross in.

[Mango Man]

This guy is a real player, really hope there is some way of keeping him, very much doubt it though. Very intelligent player, just get the feeling he is always going to produce something.

[007]

6 goals and an assist in 845 minutes in the pitch. A good return for the so called laziest player ever. Here's hoping the Black Knight's money can help us keep him.

Great finish for his goal today.

[The Modfather]

I think he’s more effective than Emiliano and I’d keep him if there was a choice between the two. Think Emiliano is a class above, but he’s yet to translate that into goals and assists.

If we can keep any or the current loan players it's Myziane for me. He's so good.

Hes on a big wage, under contract and scoring goals here whilst looking very good. Don’t think we’ll be able to compete unfortunately.

Worth noting that he’s played 3 games in 6 days, scoring in 2 of them, whilst observing Ramadan. Don’t think you can underestimate how difficult that must be. Not bad for someone who is meant to be lazy.

I think we have to assume he was a much different character then, or the coach who said that either has some personal beef or is just an erse. 'Mozy' comes across well in interview and just looks a good honest pro in terms of workrate.

This thread is exactly the type of example why we will always have a small team mentality. Maolida whilst he has been a good striker in that he’s linked well and scored roughly a goal a game,showed a good attitude. Surely this is the bare minimum we should expect up front? Jesus man 🤦*♂️.
He’s obviously been highly rated in the past and finds himself trying to recapture that interest but a two year deal at hibs will do him no harm. 😝

Nonsense. The club will be doing all they can to sign him permanently. Don't doubt that for a second. I'd think almost 100% of fans will be hoping it happens as well.

But folk pointing out how difficult it'll be for us to hold on to a player who's won PotM, scored four on the bounce and who's agent will be flaunting him to clubs in the summer doesn't mean we have 'small team mentality'

He set up our equaliser and was causing havoc down the left. Then Monty inexplicably switched things round and put Youan on the left and him through the middle and our dominance of the game wilted. He is a top class player.

[B.H.F.C]

He was the only player who looked like doing anything today.

It reminded me of what it was like a 2 or 3 years ago when you basically wanted to get the ball to Boyle in the hope he’s do something. Boyle was on the park but he’s not that player any more. We’d be a good few points worse off without Maolida.

Mind we used to actually try and get the ball to Boyle? You know, one of our best players.

So many times today he'd either make a run and they'd dingy him or he'd be in so much space yet they wouldn't pass to him.

Majority of the time he got on the ball today he did something as well. Sick of Hibs just now.

The slavers on here were the ones pricing him up for a hat trick or anytime goal scorer. We got beat,all these players perceived to be the best in league miles out of our reach,sick of hearing it bud! We got beat from st Johnstone at home yet again. We need to stop heralding players who are good is the point I’m making. He’s a good player by no means exceptional at this point,and yes he is one bright sparks in this side. But definitely not out of our league to sign permanently. Same was said of youan and now he’s slated on here at times and hes tee’d up Maolida for most of his goals.

I expect hibs to have a goal a game lively striker or am I expecting too much here? Folk have him going to other clubs before he’s done on loan ffs.🤷*♂️

Simon Murray has done as much as maolida since end of January will we sign him again? Be lucky to get him out of our range? Constant attitude on here!

If we aren’t able to win at home v st Johnstone with 11 players and five subs there’s no excuses and there certainly ain’t any players out of our league in the side.

That’s a lot of words but you’re still wrong. The fact remains we are very unlikely to be able to afford Maolida past the summer, and if we did manage to get him we’d have a very good player.

The fact we got beat in a game you didn’t see any of doesn’t change that.

Yes, asking for a striker to score in every game is asking too much. As it goes, Maolida had scored in his previous 4 without playing centre forward.

The Simon Murray comparison is as silly as most of your posts on this thread. How do you know what Maolida has done if you’re not watching games?

You can have a go at people discussing his odds to score (which are significantly overpriced with a few bookies). They’ve been doing it for the past month and collecting handsomely. He was always going to have a game where the run ended… as much as you expect otherwise from your goalscorers.

That’s a lot of words but you’re still wrong. The fact remains we are very unlikely to be able to afford Maolida past the summer, and if we did manage to get him we’d have a very good player.

Bookies been pricing him up wrong?🤔
Must’ve missed the hat tricks he scored then.
He’s a good player but I’ll stick to my original feelings that he’s exactly the type we should be signing not seen enough from him to suggest he's far too good for hibs in his time here. Clearly one of our better signings recently,but I’m not having he’s too good. And I’ll continue to slaver about it and be silly Awrite 😉

Yes. ‘A few bookies’ as in the ones that have him 3x as big as the others.

And you’re right. You’ve not seen enough of him.

[Crab apple]

He has been one of the few bright spots in recent weeks. On a previous thread I thought Marcondes was the better player but I've changed my mind on this.

You don't really understand odds at bookies do you? Just because he didn't score a hattrick didn't mean he wasn't way overpriced to get one. Bookies have been pricing him wrong for weeks in relation to his goalscoring chances, and plenty of people have been taking advantage of that. You calling other people slavers is particularly ironic.

Not surprised to hear how difficult it will be to keep this guy at the club

https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/spfl/scottish-premiership/myziane-maolida-hibs-transfer-competition-29036625Hertha paid €4 million for him, not the €10 the article suggests. Other than that I think they're right

[Trinity Hibee]

I’m amazed we got him in the first place. Possibly the only positive signing we’ve made recently. The only way a player like maolida stays is if you can offer European football and that isnt the case so he’ll be gone.

[Tyler Durden]

You'd have to imagine there will be various Championship teams who'll be after him now. They'll be able to buy him outright or pay a loan fee that we probably couldn't match, before you even get to wages.

Wouldn't surprise me if he ends up at a Hull, Cardiff, Middlesbrough type team. Sad reality of our place in the food chain.

[Centre Hawf]

I think the chances were always slim to none we'd be able to keep him. He's on very high wages and no doubt Hertha will want someone next season to at least cover the bulk of them compared to what we likely are. If they can get any cash for him they'll see it as a bonus as well.

[Since452]

He's very good. Imagine he'd be brilliant in our league when fully up to speed. No chance of keeping him i'd have thought.

[superfurryhibby]

Maolida won't ever be signing on a permanent contract with Hibs. Totally out of our price range. He's a very good player, I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up at the OF or returns to the top flight in France.

[HendoDelivered]

That’ll be that then.

[easty]

He's impressed and I dunno if he'll be back, but I don't think it's impossible. It's not like the guy was a complete unknown we've uncovered and made everyone aware of. He's been moving around big teams for big money. It's not worked out for him.

I don't see many teams who'll be rushing out to get him on the back of a good 10 game spell (so far) in the SPL.

Maybe Rangers or Celtc see him as a good squad option, maybe. I'm not convinced any English Championship teams will be desperate to sign him on the back of a short term SPL run though. None were interested in van Veen.

[Jones28]

We could be an excellent spring board for him - the loan with an option to buy at the end of it with the backing of BK would excellent business.

I don't think it's as out of our reach as it seems.

I'd actually be very surprised if there wasn't a few teams in the English championship and even the Old firm for that matter looking at him , imo if I had a choice of Idah or Dressers over Maolida I'd pick Maolida.

Another factor if we had any chance of signing him( which I don't think we have ) is how much would getting him eat into our budget . Considering we have a big rebuilding job on our hands would signing him even though he is good be beneficial to us overall rather than signing two or three players ? .

Yeah but Van Veen was a 30 year old jobber who had a 1 in 5 record in League One/Two before a good spell at Motherwell.

Maolida's record ain't great but he's a 25 year old with 100 odd games in Ligue 1 before a spell here. Think he'll have some offers.

[Ozyhibby]

Until we get new manager it’s not worth worrying about which players we will have.

Worse than that re VV, he was a 32 year old jobber and in 5 weeks time he will be a 33 year old jobber who can't get a game for Killie.

The issue that sees us with no chance of getting Maolida is that he is probably be on £20-30k a week and still has a year left on his contract.
As such he has £1-1.5 million quid waiting on him for next season so he isn't coming to Hibs to play for lets say £9k a week which is close to half a million quid a year which would be Hibs really pushing the boat out.

Equally Hertha will want to move him on in the summer for a couple of million to save paying him any more wages so he won't be here again on loan.
His successful time at Hibs has made him a sellable asset again which was the reason Hertha allowed him to come here for 5 months on the cheap.

Great player at our level. Wish we had 2 of him because then he could have passed to his clone rather than clowns.

Oh well, we can always bring back McKirdy.

28 years old Harry has only played 218 minutes for a team near the bottom of the English 4th tier scoring 1 goal.
Fair to say he is still struggling. Big cash flushed down the toilet by Hibs ... and he is contracted for another season.

Wonder how much his condition has played in his health. Not really worked out for him at all.

Suppose could maybe get him on another loan.
