- Ambition to play for his National Team.
I really like Jordan Smith though, so may the best GK…play.

Sounds like he is really pleased to be here.
Absolutely, and I've seen nothing from Smith so far that would make me think he'd have it any other way either.Quote:

I reckon we must be in the best shape that we’ve been in at this stage as we’ve been in a long time.
We obviously have a bit of work to do but, as it stands today, we could put a pretty decent team on the park.
Goalies taken care of. Bit of work to do defensively, I still think we might see some change in there. But, again, as it stands, we can field a decent defence.
I think the right hand side is somewhere we need to look at. As a minimum we need someone to provide competition. Left hand side is sound with Cadden and Obita. Middle of the park we need a replacement for Triantis but we also have Manneh who were yet to see much of and McGrath coming in who I think will be a solid signing, at worst.
We’ve got a striker who has just scored 20 last season and Bowie who will be good, fitness permitting. Then you’ve still got Vente and Youan who we either sell and reinvest or who come back in to the squad.
All in all, I think we have a real chance to kick on.
Scott Bain joins Falkirk
Looks like he’s had his nose smashed a few times. I like that in a keeper. Shows fearlessness. Even if it is uptown.Quote:

Welcome to Easter Road big ralph, gives smith some competition and I'm sure both will be giving a chance but will be interesting to see who SDG goes with as no 1 going into the European games and the league.
Comes across well in his interview , another with the right character the club has spoken about . I don’t know much about him though seemed to be liked and rated at his previous club . Looks like we have two good keepers now …

Much happier now we’ve signed a keeper.
Delighted we’ll have two top keepers fighting it out to be number one, as opposed to bricking it in the last five games that Smith would get injured. Had a few close calls where I thought we’d have to bring Bursik on.
Welcome to Hibs, Raphael
Nah, he is taller than me 🤣Quote:

He also had the most total saves with 100, so was clearly busy last season, he played in all but one of his teams league games last season, so theres a big body of evidence there.Quote:

I really like smith, still his gloves to lose as far as I’m concerned.
Did we pay a fee for the keeper? Seen his contract wasn’t due to expire until 2026 and there was some chat about him having a release clause but didn’t see anything about us paying a fee?
