Where about unseen?

On Hibs TV mate.

I’m maybe reading too much into it but he says along the lines of the most important thing for him and getting in the Australia squad for the World Cup is playing every week, he further said that Hibs/SPFL is a really good level and if performing well you’ll get in the squad.

Gave the impression that he’s open to staying as he knows he’ll play, where as he could return to Sunderland/go to another team that don’t appreciate him as much and not play which results in him missing out of the squad

“Hibs keen on Hartberg keeper Raphael Sallinger. The Austrian has a summer buyout clause that Hibs know they can meet”

Probably means he’s going somewhere else

6 foot 5 is a good start

Played very little football in his career for someone of his age. This season, at 29, looks to have been the first time he's been a first choice anywhere.

A bit like Jordan Smith?

From what I can see he’s played -
24/25 - 36
23/24 - 37
22/23 - 21

So looks like he started 22/23 on the bench but got in the team in the first half of the season and has been first choice ever since.

Yep, that looks right.

So to be fair, he's been a first choice all of this season and last.

Odd looking career up to 22-23 though.

He's 29 and granted doesn't look like he'd had a huge number of games before the age of 26/27. Wonder how it stacks up with someone like Daniel Anderson at Hibs who I thought was a fantastic keeper.

That’s not that unusual for goalies.

It’s pretty rare for goalkeepers to become regulars under 25/26 years old. Obviously there’s exceptions to that but i don’t see it as a red flag he’s not played masses of football.

Yeah, a rumour, more please 👍

[HendoDelivered]

The lack of games doesn’t worry me one but. Just look at Smith. Also encouraging he’s been first choice for the last 2 seasons.

Fair enough and that certainly can be the case with goalies. Aren’t we supposed to be bringing in the guy from Bournemouth? Paulsson I think it is.

We should go for that young laddie Lamine Yamal. Only 17 but defo has a good future ahead of him 😂

Yeah could be a Black Knights signing. Raphael Sallinger to Auckland, Alex Paulsen to Hibs

Where's this? I've been on for the last hour or so and haven't seen a thing.

Nothing when you search his name either.

Be disappointed if this is true as it probably means Rocky is going who I think is a better player .

We will hopefully need to think about homegrown players, even if Rocky stays could make a lot of sense

Not sure why disappointment comes into it, if Rocky leaves it's because he's had an offer more than we can match, it's not like Hibs are chasing him out to replace him with Porteous. Porteous is also a quality player if he can keep his head straight...

Just think we would be losing a player with a better character and attitude . You’re right in he’s also quality and him keeping the head straight is a big ‘ If ‘ . Hopefully Gray can if true though.

Seems to be gathering pace, if true he is a huge upgrade on Ekpiteta and O'Hora and he's' better than Miller and Rocky.

I'm not completely sold on O'Hora or Ekpiteta however I'd absolutely loved to be proven wrong on both.

With European football on the horizon, I'd definitely take Ryan back for what will be a busy schedule up till at least Christmas.

Sallinger has faced the most shots in the Austrian Bundesliga with a save % of 73.3. Quite impressive.

He's definitely better than Marv and O'Hora however he would be instantly targeted by the media, Huns, Goodwin, can't remember who else had it in for him but he'd be walking a tightrope every single week with the refs who would be itching to send him off.

When you think back it's actually scandalous that Goodwin only got a touchline ban for a few matches.

Lots of mixed options on Porteous from Watford fans mostly quite negative

An older thread but not exactly complimentary.

My concern around RP is that he doesn't seem to have developed much, whereas in someone like Rocky we can really see how much better he's gotten in the last 6 months.

If you offered me Porteous to sign or Rocky to stay I'd be far more inclined to go with Rocky.
