Elias Melkersen

[dastardly8]

Only seen him on YouTube but looks good , only 19 but 4.5 year deal , certainly looks like he can score goals.

Welcome Hoff…the sale of Napapijri clothing will go through the roof

[WoreTheGreen]

It’s going to be some race to the mirror between him and SA

Shaun Maloney sensibly pointing out he will need time to adapt to a different football environment so I hope everyone remembers this and allows him space to settle into the club.

If he doesn't score a goal a game, and a hattrick again Hearts then I'm raging

Looks like the love child of Jason Cummings and Scott Allan

I know you are kidding but there will be a few in our support who will think like that. Anyway let’s hope he does well and it turns into a great piece of business for us

The kind of fee that’s being talked about is huge for us so will definitely raise expectations. Clearly a longer game with the length of contract but expect to see him in the team pretty soon with the type of money we’ve spent.

Interesting Hibs themselves have described it as a significant undisclosed fee.

On paper and by the comments by Norwegian reporters, journalists and fans it looks like we have a very good young player with bags of potential.

His goal scoring stats and highlight reel late impressive to say the least. Even though the standard was the second division it will at least be on par with the Scottish championship and if an 18 year old scored that many goals in that many games everyone would be raving about him and wanting him.

The fee and contract clearly shows a lot of faith in the him from the board.

I just hope fans are realistic though. He’s moved country, new style of play, never played at this level and not played a huge amount of games.

Give him time to adapt and settled - it might take a while. Some might expect too much too soon based on fee, reports and contract.

Anyway, welcome The Hoff and all the best.

Any songs for him yet?

[Lendo]

Have the Daily Record linked him with a move to Celtic yet?

Not content with signing players with double barreled names, now we are signing players from teams with double barreled names.......

I've clearly missed the Hoff chat - where is that coming from?

[mixumatosis]

Shouldn't have any trouble with the artificial surfaces at Livi, Kilmarnock etc as and when we need to play on them.

Take on Melk (take on Melk)
Take Melk on (take on Melk)
He'll be gone
In a year or two

With the Hoff middle name there surely needs to be a song to the Baywatch theme.

That haircut deserves it. Dreamboat.

We don't play Celtic for another 12 days, so it'll be at least another 2 days before that happens.

Hope his t-shirts sell better than Porteous's "Do we look happy" ones.

Its a big punt for Hibs is this, it sounds like we have paid around the £400,000 mark for young Elias which is probably every penny and more of our earnings from the League cup semi and final and then some. I doubt we see his immediate future as bedding in with the under 20s for 6 months, not for that amount of money.

If its of any relevance our dealings with Norway have been pretty positive up until now, Svein Mathisen and Isak Refvik did pretty well here back in the day with Refvik becoming a bit of cult figure and of course Niklas Gunnarsson playing a part in 2016. It doesn't seem that Norwegians have much bother fitting into Scottish / British fitba.

If the lad turns out to be what Hibs hope, with a 4.5 year contract and a big ( for us ) transfer fee paid there's no way the likes of Aston Villa will be snapping him up for relative peanuts two years from now.

Oh .............. And I dare anybody to slag Ron Gordon for not getting the cheque book out now.
