Ended up writing a wee bit about Kamberi's move to Sheff Wed on another thread and thought it might be of some interest to a few and perhaps generate some opinion on how you think he will perform:
Kamberi will be superchuffed he has made it to the promised land of English football and will be trying like a ..........bear to make the transfer permanent.....before looking for something better.
I am undecided on his ability level.
Loan Florian arrived at Hibs with little 1st team experience but somehow fitted that Hibs team like one of his gloves. An absolute Mathie masterstroke.
Kamberi was fantastic BUT I think a big reason for that was the great midfield behind him where McGinn was always fighting two guys at once and that was giving time and protection to quarterback Allan and ball mover and manipulator McGeough to do their thing. That allowed hard running Kamberi to receive quality balls in space and he put them away. He looked the real deal.
Not one of those players have been the same without tasmanian devil McGinn by their side.
The quality supply dried up to Kamberi and his role changed. It was never the same for Kamberi or Lennon after McGinn left. Kamberi started to look more ordinary and Lennon grew frustrated with him and eventually publicly accused him of not working hard enough and generally bullying him. His confidence naturally dropped off a cliff along with his form and he hasn't been the same player since.
Did okay at Rangers but was never going to be good enough. Back to square one at St Gallen who quickly found he was no better than what they already had. Fired out on loan to the **** show that was Aberdeen after Christmas. Made no real impression there. Back to St Gallen in the summer then fired back out for a season at floundering skint giant Sheffield Wednesday.
Buoyed by getting a move to England and with his Lennon wounds finally healed he will give it his all.
Can he make it in a less prestigious and lower quality league than our own where Sunderland will be his new Rangers?
I really don't know but i think this move will finally allow us to benchmark his ability accurately and if he fails here his next stop is Motherwell.
A familiar interview from Florian for his new club The Rangers fans won't be happy.

I don't have a problem with Kamberi. He's a bit of a dick, but he did an OK job for us. I give his contribution 7 out of 10.

I can't explain why, but I never really rated him. He did well and scored 9 in 14 when he first came on loan, but for some reason, I wasn't convinced.
In all he scored 20 times in 62 which is a decent return, if not fantastic. Eventually, I think I started to actively dislike him and that was compounded by his subsequent behaviour.
I wonder how long it'll be before he kisses the Wednesday badge and points to the ground in a "this is my home" type of gesture.

he preferred to run onto passes and face the opposition goal, I agree he had his best moments with the guys you mentioned behind him.
I think he will struggle at Sheffield Wednesday because he is more of an instinctive rather than an intelligent player, as always though I would like to see him do well despite his move to The Rangers.

I think he tried really hard in his loan spell to earn his permanent deal. Once he got ut, after a while he started to believe his own hype and thought he was better than he actually was. He started to think he was Ronaldo with all his stepovers and he seemed to be focusing more on trying to get on the Soccer AM showboat section than trying to help the team win.
His arrogance outweighed his ability.
We all know how it ended up.

Basically running onto perfectly weighted through balls.

There’s a bit of talent and ability there, but he has certainly earned his ‘figure of fun’ status.

A decent player for us who, like many before him, made a move to the old firm.
A bit of a daft comment during his move meant that we had constant obsessive threads on here pretending to be his diary etc.
That was about it for me 🤷🏻*♂️ No real opinion either way on him now.

I honestly think he had more innate talent than pretty much every striker we've had since Deeks/Gazza/Fletch days with possible exception of Stokesy. In fact there's comparisons to be made with Stokesy in that other factors deflected from their ability. The goals Kamberi scored against Celtc home and away, right foot,left foot were exceptional. I also remember his goal at Killie in 1st minute of game,not so much for the finish,but for the fact he started the move by holding the ball up on the touchline under pressure and then was in the box to finish it.
I suspect he'll start like a house on fire at SW, by Xmas he'll be upset that Pep hasn't come in for him and the slide to mediocrity will begin again. Will be interesting.

I thought his interview was good and I hope he does well for Wednesday. They are a big club whose fans deserve better.

The only comparison he has with Ronaldo as they both fall over when the wind changes direction. It used to really annoy me (at the tail end of his time with us) that when a high ball was played towards him, instead of trying to win the ball, he would have a quick look for the defender and then try to back into said defender to win a foul. I don`t think it ever worked

A permanent transfer for him would not break the bank. Neither Aberdeen nor Sheffield Wednesday would go for that though.

Didn’t suit being played as the sole striker with his back to goal. Can’t jump which is a slight hindrance as a target man. Played his best football beside McLaren.
Had high hopes for them both. Never really happened.

Absolutely true about the midfield. That season previous from January onwards were some of my favourite times as a Hibs fan
