Maybe he is, shorty...

Oi thats sizeist 🤔🤣

[The Spaceman]

That looks a great signing on paper - ticks many boxes from that leaving statement:

- A good character in the dressing room.
- Played lots of games.
- Rated by his Austrian Bundesliga club/gutted to see him leave.
- Good age.
- Ambition to play for his National Team.

I really like Jordan Smith though, so may the best GK…play.

Sounds like he is really pleased to be here.

Competition is good for places. If Smith keeps the gloves then it will be because he is performing, if this guy comes in and displaces him it will be because he is better and we know we have a more than able deputy.

Sentiment is for fans. Gray, Mackay etc etc knew we needed another keeper and they'll base their decision on who starts next season on what is best for the team.

Absolutely, and I've seen nothing from Smith so far that would make me think he'd have it any other way either.

Which ever keeper is number 1 next season will have earned it.

Good.

A position that needs addressed so pleasing to get a deal done early (unless it's Bursik on a permanent deal).

Can you imagine if that had been it? 😂😂

Class. Seems like a really good bloke and a good goalkeeper from what I have heard and seen, though limited.

Welcome big Raph!

Welcome ,Raph.

I reckon we must be in the best shape that we’ve been in at this stage as we’ve been in a long time.

We obviously have a bit of work to do but, as it stands today, we could put a pretty decent team on the park.

Goalies taken care of. Bit of work to do defensively, I still think we might see some change in there. But, again, as it stands, we can field a decent defence.

I think the right hand side is somewhere we need to look at. As a minimum we need someone to provide competition. Left hand side is sound with Cadden and Obita. Middle of the park we need a replacement for Triantis but we also have Manneh who were yet to see much of and McGrath coming in who I think will be a solid signing, at worst.

We’ve got a striker who has just scored 20 last season and Bowie who will be good, fitness permitting. Then you’ve still got Vente and Youan who we either sell and reinvest or who come back in to the squad.

All in all, I think we have a real chance to kick on.

Looks like he’s had his nose smashed a few times. I like that in a keeper. Shows fearlessness. Even if it is uptown.

Welcome to Easter Road big ralph, gives smith some competition and I'm sure both will be giving a chance but will be interesting to see who SDG goes with as no 1 going into the European games and the league.

[Donegal Hibby]

Comes across well in his interview , another with the right character the club has spoken about . I don’t know much about him though seemed to be liked and rated at his previous club . Looks like we have two good keepers now …

That lad is a number one. No doubts.

I agree, I think this guy will come straight in personally.

He's came from a bottom six Austrian Bundesliga club - he may be very good who knows, but I don't think we can say with any certainty that he is automatically our number one. I think Smith will start the seasons as our number one and it will be his jersey to lose.

He was near the top on all stats where goalkeepers were concerned last season in his league.

[HoboHarry]

Impressive English for someone who's never played in an English speaking country before. Not that I should be surprised any more, they are so much better than we are with languages than us generally speaking. Anyway, welcome aboard the Hibee train.....

[JohnM1875]

Much happier now we’ve signed a keeper.

Delighted we’ll have two top keepers fighting it out to be number one, as opposed to bricking it in the last five games that Smith would get injured. Had a few close calls where I thought we’d have to bring Bursik on.

Welcome to Hibs, Raphael

Looks a bit like Jason Mewes, at least his Wiki photae does.

So on a scale of Jason mewes how do feel about this signing IMG_20250224_103634.jpg

Erm I think you’ll find it’s Hearts who have access to Data so we would have been unaware of that.

[Allant1981]

Looks good in the highlights the club have posted but smith had some cracking saves since he came in, looks like we have 2 good keepers now

He was 4th in save percentage in Austrias top league with 72.5%, comparable to Smiths 75% 2nd best in Scotland and although these comparisons arent exact across leagues they are revealing, and save % is the most useful stats out there (possibly excluding expected saves). He also had the most total saves with 100, so was clearly busy last season, he played in all but one of his teams league games last season, so theres a big body of evidence there.

If Smith finds himself number 2 I wouldn’t be surprised if he moved.

His performances with us will have alerted alot of clubs how good a keeper he actually is and now he’s played a consecutive amount of games in a row he might now have a taste of being number 1.

I really like smith, still his gloves to lose as far as I’m concerned.

[1875Sean]

Did we pay a fee for the keeper? Seen his contract wasn’t due to expire until 2026 and there was some chat about him having a release clause but didn’t see anything about us paying a fee?
