Goalkeeper - Just re-sign LOGAN!!!!

[thebausburst]

It is becoming increasingly apparent that we don't have a no1 goalkeeper lined up so why don't we just re-sign Logan? I don't see anything to suggest that we will get someone better than him and now we're potentially going into our European tie with what was our old 3rd choice????

I'm happy to go with Vitranen

I'm not, never known a club like Hibs for going through goalies, seriously how difficult can it be to get someone decent and reliable yet we always seem to be scrabbling about handing out trials to any Tom Dick or Harry, so fed up with it!

What about Colin Doyle the current Blackpool gk? He's available for only £1!

9 days into the transfer window

Vitranen isn't decent or reliable?

I'd like to know how you have come to this opinion.

Lennon confirmed in his most recent HTV interview that Otso will play in the Euro tie, the number one spot is in his hands at the moment. Also that the lad signed from Raith will come in as our #3 and we are actively in the market for a new #1.

Yeah I get all that and the 9 days into the window stuff just has the feel that it will drag on and on and we'll end up with a laddie in goals for the Falkirk game. IMO goalie is not like other positions and we need to get someone in early to work on our defensive shape, getting to know each other etc and using these up and coming games to do that.

The only reason we don't have a recognised number 1 is because we haven't played yet. Even if we signed someone we wouldn't have a recognised number 1.

We need better than Oxley or Logan. And we can afford better than Oxley or Logan. I don't see why we should accept less than we can afford.

The game on Thursday isn't a priority. I'm sure the new number 1 will be in place well ahead of the first league game.

The Ballad of Otso Vitranen does not have the same ring as 'The Ballad of Conrad Logan'. Go listen!!!!

What is wrong with Virtanen being in goals for the Falkirk game?

Vitranen isn't a laddie

[CallumHibs07]

Otso's 22 and has played nearly 100 games already. No problem giving him the chance to make the spot his. Otherwise why sign him

[NORTHERNHIBBY]

There were questions asked about Virtanen when we signed Logan. But if now isn't the time for him to start then it begs the question when will it be? The boy Laidlaw looks to be a back up as does the loanee? Can't have three back ups.

Why would he buy one player for a £1 when he could have bought Rangers for the same amount.

How do you know virtanen isnt a decent goalie? He hasnt been given a run of games yet to see if he is any good

[BroxburnHibee]

The league is the priority.

We'll have a goalie in by then

Doesn't Virtanen do that in training? Or just he just sit at EM and watch the big boys playing?

He's 6ft 5, you would struggle find many bigger boys at EM ;-)

So maybe he just doubles as a goalpost, or a hat stand?

Canny be working as a goalie, that much has been made plain

[Highland_Hibee]

I have no issue with us sticking a 6ft5 22yo Finnish lad in goal for the time being. Can anyone here honestly say before the Semi Final that they looked at Conrad Logan and said "Yes, that is who I want as our number 1"?

I can't for the life of me understand why they never one mistake in all the games he has played, and was one of the main reasons we won the cup. Now we look like we are stuck with a keeper half the support don't want and another the previous manager had no faith in!!

The reality is we don't know how Otto will do as he is untested by us apart from his brief appearance v I C T
Stubbs didn't pit his faith in him when he dropped The Ox and you cant knock that decision as Logan helped us win The Holy Grail
So it's taking a risk playing Otto bit Lennon has seen him in Training and the first Team If he doesn't think he is good enough he would play Laid Law
So its a chance for Otto to show what he can do

Stubbs had no faith in him but gave him a 3.5 year contract?

Ok

[PatHead]

Who said Logan wanted to stay at Hibs. He may have other irons in the fire.

[GreenNWhiteArmy]

I'm probably in the minority here but having attended most games since Logan signed I wasn't all that impressed with him.

He'll forever be a hero for his outstanding contribution in the semi final but in reality... We'd have expected him to save most of the shots. It's his penalty heroics that will never be forgotten. In the final... did he even have a save to make?

In the league games, I must admit to being petrified every time the ball went near him. Did the defence even listen to him? A few good kicks and catches from crosses but also some horrendous kicks which at times made him look amateur-ish. Not forgetting the error that effectively sent Falkirk through (the equaliser St easter road)

Always felt since that semi, in some people's eyes he could do no wrong. He couldn't even do a proper warm up for being so unfit. If that's what we're striving for then I'm out
