Malonga

[SanFranHibs]

Can't see a thread on this! If there is apologies and Admin please delete!!

In June 2011 Cesena acquired Malonga outright for €1.4 million (made Cesena booked €650,000 financial cost for the bonus as the reserved €750,000 for the another half was not enough) He also signed a new 3+1 year contract. However the club relegated at the end of 2011–12 Serie A, which saw Malonga left on loan to other clubs for the rest of his contract.

Malonga scored a total of 10 goals whilst on loan in Serie B for Vicenza and on 2 September 2013 he joined Real Murcia on a season-long loan.

Malonga was released by Cesena on 24 July 2014.

Hibernian[edit]

On Monday 1 September 2014, Malonga began a two week trial at Hibernian. The Edinburgh side require a new striker following a serious injury to Farid El Alagui

Nah nah nah nah nah Malonga (la bamba)

Get him signed

[Jones28]

Great name. Sign him

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Hes on wikipedia get him in now

[R'Albin]

Again, hardly prolific at his previous clubs. We definitely need a bigger striker, but this still leaves a lot of weight on the shoulders of Cummings/Sinclair/Heff.

[Leithenhibby]

4 days into his trial period, mmmmm let me think about it

True altho having a quick look he was behind Adrian Mutu for a season so maybe a good reason why he didn't play/score as often as he wanted..

Good point. I guess I should have also factored in that a lot of his appearances may have been from the bench.

[Hibbyradge]

95% of the fans want him.

Get it done, Stubbsy!

And I imagine scoring against Raith, Cowdenbeath, Dumbarton when playing from the start should be a lot easier than AC Milan, Juventus, Inter etc from the bench..

Should be!! But taking nothing for granted with Hibs at the moment! Interesting trial nonetheless

I think the standard of opposition may have slightly better at his previous clubs. Stubbs will make the correct decision imo. A2 week trial seems pretty long. Maybe it is hibs intention to sign him in time for the Cowdenbeath game?

Has this been confirmed? It was on the michael ocheba thread that a guy on facebook? thought it was malonga, then wiki was updated, no doubt by a hibs fan stating he was here for a two week trial??

Maybe the same Hibs fan who updated Wikipeida? Already on Wikipedia that he is on trial with us.

Dominique Sossorobla Malonga (born 8 January 1989) is a French born Congolese footballer who plays as a striker.[1] Malonga is currently on trial with SPFL Championship side Hibernian.

The three scenarios are probably

Stubbs doesn't fancy him and he's away
Stubbs does want him and Rod is negotiating with the lads agent
He has already signed and Hibs are waiting for the best moment to make the press release to try and increase gate revenue for the next home match.

First two points taken but giving away 7k tickets for the next home game won't help increase revenue I'm afraid.

[scoopyboy]

To be clear it's on the rumour mill section of the Scotsman, ie it could easily have been lifted from here.

I am making enquiries to see if anyone is on trial.

Might be more in Evening News today, eg quote from Stubbs that he is actually here.

Do you have evidence that Petrie is carrying out negotiations rather than LD?

Just beat me to that post
My lad ( only one now) at EM's tells me LD is the contract " fixer" these days !!

[ekhibee]

With the chance of bringing in Ocheba, Malonga and O'Dea, we could end up bringing in more players than we did in the official transfer window!!

AS certainly made mention of getting a striker in for the game next Saturday. Hopefully can get this sorted quick and he can get to know his team mates if signing.

Goal stats are ok however the level he has been playing at is impressive in Serie A and B, and second league in Spain

Aye, forgot about that. Maybe just waiting for the Scotland game to get out the way then press release to maximise publicity.

Or it could just be Aloadypish
