Jorge Claros

[hibeefan95]

Just want to know what people think of Jorge Claros on here. I got the idea to put up this thread when me and my dad were arguing about him earlier.

[Sas_The_Hibby]

Has it all to prove. Needs to at least look interested, unlike most of last season, IMO.

I agree. I have a lot of confidence that he'll do well for us. Just a feeling I have.

[blackpoolhibs]

I'm not a fan, he needs to do better this season in my opinion.

[Scouse Hibee]

Got a feeling he will struggle again, hope I'm wrong.

[lucky]

Too slow for the hectic SPL. No doubt he can play but not in the kick and rush league we have in Scotland

I'd prefer to have Kevin McBride back in that midfield! I would send him back to montegua or whatever there called. Waste of a few grand a week!

[Matty_Jack04]

I like him but am well aware I'm in a minority he's good on the ball and reads the game well IMO different player in a better midfield than we had last year

[LeighLoyal]

There is ability there but I question his attitude, not sure he ever gives 100%.

Are you sure? In all seriousness though, I don't think we should send him back to his parent club yet. I personally think we should give him a chance to prove to Hibs fans that he's capable. I think he will come good, I might be wrong fair enough, but he does put in a really good challenge sometimes.

[basehibby]

He showed glimpses of real quality with some astute passes last season but all too occasionally. Needs to really dig in and impress himself on games - if he can get up to pace physically with the scottish game then he could be a success.

I hope Pat Fenlon will give him a gentle kick up the a*se, telling him to put in 100% in each game. The kind of players he likes are ones who show desire. Pat will probably tell him to start putting in the required effort week in week out, then hopefully we'll see a change in him.

McBride had more decent performances than Claros. I would prefer we got someone in that we can build a team round he will be off back home in January leaving us yet again to built a midfield around a new arrival. imo Kerr is a bad option as well we should be looking around for better, we need a leader in the middle of the park.

Actually, you're right. McBride did have more decent performances than Claros, although IMO Claros is the better tackler. I would hope that if he done well for us this season, then Pat would re-sign him in January, either on loan again or permanently. I haven't made my mind up yet about Kerr. The only time I've seen him play was the Huddersfield game.

[Leishy1995]

I blame Rangers for him being so poor. They claimed he was good enough for them. Has a lot of proving to do.

Surprisingly, he can't prove us wrong cause we have seen how bad he can be already.

[EdinMike]

I haven't been convinced so far. I wasn't one of those people who got over-hyped by him before he came as, let's face it, we've seen players like him come and go before without making much of an impact.

I only hope (and I'm glad he does now) having his family coming over can inject a certain "Je ne sais quoi" ?

[Hainan Hibs]

Without sounding like a drama queen I'm still disgusted by his performance in the final. Defined the attitude we've had in derbies over the years, looked like a scared lassie and really shouldn't have bothered to turn up.

I wouldn't have minded one bit if his loan deal had been cancelled, I hope he improves this year.

[H1B33 1875]

Not a fan of Claros. I dont think we can really afford to give him time this season, we need a solid midfielder to slot in there, someone who gives 100%. Not convinced Claros does.

[Captain Trips]

He is a signing you bring in when doing well , bad time to sign him and offered IMO next to nothing. On that basis along with a few more I am far more worried about Fenlon and the poor squad we have than on 1 player.

[PeterboroHibee]

I think Claros is a decent player, but I dont think we will ever see the best of him given the state of our midfield.

From what I saw last season, I get the impression he likes to pick up the ball and spray it about from deeper positions. That could work if we had a better midfield (and most likely it would have to be a midfield 3), but Stevenson doesnt have the pace or the strength to cover the rest of the midfield on his own. The two of them alone just doesnt look like a midfield pair that are going to dominate many games in the SPL, and there in lies the problem...

[Andy74]

I like him, and I think he does try, and care, but he's played all his life in a totally different sport basically and playing in the SPL may never be something he can adjust to.

[Keith_M]

Seriously suffers from his nickname of 'Pitbull'. I'm not sure what that signifies to a Spanish speaker but it clearly isn't the same as it is in the UK.

Maybe chihuahua is a beter translation

I really thought we were getting a player that would maul Ian Black, not sit in Paris Hilton's handbag.

[Judas Iscariot]

He's our best midfielder by far...

That's a worry

I do not agree, I do agree with the worry part though as frankly most of the players are worry, new guys though deserve chance.

Who would you say is a better midfielder?

Over the piece Lewis not saying he is any great shake but I think he is better.

I have to admit, I did get over-hyped by the prospect of having a guy who was known as 'pitbull', and was wanted by Rangers in our midfield. Really didn't turn out the way I'd hoped, obviously. I hope he does settle down, now that his family has moved over.

I agree his performance was disgusting, but Osbourne was just as bad if not worse in the CF IMO.

If we go into next season with Claros and Stevenson as our first choice midfield pair, I would worry. I think both have merit, but won't work together.
