    It's hard to say, such a doss team back then it would be easy to shine. No disrespect to them but even with youngsters like Booth and Harris, seemed like hot prospects but when you compare them to Porteous or McGinn (a little older, I know)...

    It's not a comfortable time to think back on with the kind of player we used to put up with in a Hibs shirt (thinking more McGivern, Nelson, Tudur-Jones et al). Ah well. I liked Claros though, he always seemed to give a **** even if he wasn't the best. James McPake always has my respect for the same reason, too few in those days did.

    We played Celtic at ER around Christmas time and won 1-0 Griffiths scored.

    I remember claros bossing wanyama in that game absolutely solid think it was his last game as he left in January possibly

    No one really knows as no one has seen him play since the 2014 world cup.

    Based on his performances when he was here there is not a chance he is getting anywhere near our team, even last years midfielders that couldnt get in the team are better than him. He is an ok player who had a few decent games in a terrible team but nothing more in my opinion

    All about opinions but 84 caps 3 goals for Honduras speaks for itself

    I thought he was a class act

    As another poster has said bossed Wanyama in the Leigh Griffiths game

    Walked into our Cup Final team after being out injured for six weeks but the least said about that game the better 😁

    Played a significant role in our search for the Holy Grail in 2013

    hard to say. he definitely had something but injuries and taking time to settle when time wasn't a luxury to take, made it difficult.

    in a different hibs team I think he'd have been class. him with mcginn and mcgeough or Allan would excellent I think.

    as others have said, goes down with mcpake as one of the few who gave a **** at a dark time. for that regardless of a ability, I'm thankful.

    How many professional players are there from Honduras to pick from though? That's 1 game that sticks out for a poster, I couldnt tell you half a dozen good games he had, could you? Yes the least said about the 2012 cup game the better, especially since he was gash in it. All about opinions but for me he would be no where near our team

    No, I don't think so.

    The nickname "pit bull" suggested he was going to be a type of player that he just wasn't.

    Claros was quality. Got the ball off the defence, moved it on, rarely lost it and held the team together. Unfortunately he was surrounded by dross.

    Players like Claros are often the difference between disjointed hoofball outfits and decent footballing units.

    How old is he now?

    What I will say is he played the role Milligan was supposed to play far better than he did. Not even close.

  16. #15
    Claros mainly played for us when we finished 7th and behind Griffith's was our best player that season.

    He didn't have injury problems (34/38 league games), certainly didn't have the heart of a mouse (easily one of the daftest phrases on here) and probably could bring something to our current side.

    I don't really judge him on his first loan spell, even Griffith's was poor that season. When things settled and he had his family near him he had a really good season.

    How about dem apples?:
    7/5/12 Dunfermline Home 4-0
    2/5/12,Aberdeen Away 2-1
    14/4/12 Aberdeen Hampden 2-1
    10/3/12 Ayr Away 2-1
    25/2/12 Kilmarnock Away 3-1
    18/8/12 St Mirren Away 2-1
    12/5/13 Hearts Away 2-1
    29/12/12 Celtic Home 1-0

    To name just a few

    I was also surprised to read he got shot in the head and shoulder while sitting in his car in South America back in 2012

    Wish I had as good a memory as you that you knew exactly the dates of the good games he played in(in your opinion)! We will agree to disagree on claros, for me he would be no where near our current team or teams in the last 3/4 years or so.

    That's why he got the nick name Pitbull

    He'd struggle to get a game before Gael Bigirimana. Only one game sticks out for me he played in and he was hooked before half time in it.

    Ludicrous.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    I'd have had Gary Deegan before him any day of the week.

    No idea what he would be like now but I rated him higher than many midfielder since he played including Milligan

    Just done some reading up on these games as my memory is pretty terrible, he only came in to the side on some of them due to suspensions and was subbed off after an hour in a couple of them, cant have played that well that he was subbed early on?

    HIBS 1 v 0 Hearts
    Scottish Cup

    Some of them results look pretty good for a ***** team

    OK a further example
    When we lost 0-3 to Celtic SCF 2013 with a half fit Sparky upfront Claros looked the only HIBS player that would get a game for Celtic
    For 15-20 minutes we had a glimmer of hope but then Stokes and Hooper took over

    I didnt say it was a **** team though, we weren't great though. If you think claros was a good player then great, if you think he would get in any of our teams since he left(2014 maybe) then I just cant see it

    Easily. In his 2nd season he was only beaten to PotY by an unbelievable Leigh Griffiths

    Again my memory isnt great so I'll take your word for it as I thought he only played 40 odd games for us, for me he wasnt that great a player and he would be no where near any midfield for us since Stubbs had came in

    And mallan was voted our players player of the year this year and plenty wouldnt have him in our team so again it's all about opinions

    Once had some time to get used to the Scottish game he was an excellent player for us.

    If he was still the same player as a few years ago I'd love him back.

    So does his midfield masterclass in the 2-1 win at the piggery not count then? Probably underachieved in his time at ER given his ability but as others have said, our 2nd best player in 2012-13.
