Elanga is a terrific player.

Eddie Howe’s been after him for a while now though I thought they might lose out to one of the other top teams but it seems like it’s nearly done with a five year deal being reported.

Not for me. He’s got better in people’s minds the longer he’s been gone imo.

His season that everyone raves about saw him dropped for multiple games at two different stages of the season. By the time the cup final rolled round there was an almost unanimous feeling that he’d been so poor that McGregor had to start ahead of him. On the POTY threads on here there was absolutely no mentions of him whatsoever, other than one where someone suggested Paul McGinn deserved it for how well he’d performed considering he had to deal with Porteous playing inside him. That’s not the sign of someone who was all that great imo.

The next season he was constantly suspended because he couldn’t stop acting like an idiot and by the end of his time here there was an almost unanimous feeling that he had to be taken out the team because his performances were so poor as well.

Surely players can change?

The problem is that Porteous doesn’t seem to change - the same rash tackles, the same brainfart decision making.

He was an outstanding prospect when he broke through but he’s come nowhere near what he could and should have been.

Maybe SDG can get the best out of him?

As for brain fart decisions I think most of our players at one point or another have made decisions like that and will continue to do so.

Would he get a game at Celtic? I know that hasn’t stopped them before.

Good luck to the guy whatever decision he makes. He does however know that he’s pretty much a guaranteed starter at ER every week and I think we would be a pretty decent place (green tinted specs firmly on) to showcase his talents.

Agree with this. I really hope he comes back either permanent or loan but if he doesn’t he put in a great shift last season.

He’ll be taking the piss cause of McCowan last summer.

[500miles]

I wouldn’t be surprised if Triantis does a week with Sunderland as a midfielder rather than a centre half so that his manager gets a look, they have a discussion, and then he makes his move either way.

He’s also tweeted about them signing Lennon Miller and Cerny in the last day or so, best ignored.

[theonlywayisup]

Kyle McClelland is set to remain in Northern Ireland by signing for Glenavon after the 23-year-old defender was released by Hibernian following his loan to Coleraine.

Hadn't realised that he had been released by Hibernian. Odd signing!

Don't follow the guy so haven't seen any of his other stuff ,would be surprised if either of the Glasgow arse cheeks Don't go for him as he stood out last season for us.
Rather he stays at Sunderland than go to them.

As for brain fart decisions I think most of our players at one point or another have made decisions like that and will continue to do so.

The problem is that he seems to have an awful lot more of them than he should.

I seen him described on one of the Watford forums along the lines of “one of the stupidest players they’ve had” and given his recent performances for the national team (straight red card and then got away with what should have been a straight red), I’m not shocked.


That’s why I say that he absolutely needs to eat a cement mixer of humble pie (to borrow a phrase from the Thick of It) and show that he’s ditched the ego, the ****housery, and the hard man stuff before we even consider him. If he can get back to the basics and discipline of being a central defender then absolutely let’s go for a loan of him but if it’s same old, then it’s “not with a barge pole” for me.

What turned Rocky into a great defender this season was discipline and level headedness. He still had a couple of brain farts but you get the feeling he learns from them nowadays.

[MacGruber]

Be interesting to see how MacEntee gets on at Hearts, see McInnes singing his praises for the pre-season games. This is the guy we had looked at months before them and the reaction on here to the potential signing was largely negative given the Walsall fans opinions. Ultimately we decided he wasn't an improvement on what we had - that's not to say he won't improve Hearts, they aren't at out level.

It really is so easy to look at the negatives in a player rather than the positives. Yes he’s been rash, yes he’s been daft and at times rash but I’d rather have him in my starting 11 than O’Hora. And btw I think O’Hora has been good for us when he has been asked to step in.

You’ve mentioned Rocky. He had 2.5 seasons of them and tbh still makes them however when a team is winning they seem to be looked over as do most players mistakes or brain farts.

I do think Rocky deserved his new contract and is crucial to the team.

For me Porteous is a no brainer and has more positives than negatives.

As I said I think SDG would get the best out of him.

All about opinions!

[Heisenberg]

Triantis going to Celtic doesn’t really tick any of the boxes his agent was going on about towards the end of last season.

I find it quite surprising that one of our own, who has played 87 games in the English Championship, is not considered up to scratch for the Hibees. I hear the point about his disciplinary record. However it does not stand up to scrutiny as he has never been sent off down there, and gets a booking in only one in every three games.

The disciplinary record thing is now being well overplayed imo.

Yes, he’s had a few notable examples and the Scotland one will be the most recent in our memories.

Whilst the decision making and diving in are definitely weaknesses rather than strengths, it’s rewriting history to suggest it’s blighted his entire career. He’s generally been sound, occasionally brilliant. With the odd bit of daftness thrown in.

He has a very high ceiling of performance if he can curb it a bit but if he was as bad as some are making out then there’s no way he’d have got his Scotland caps, his big move and then his appearances whilst there.

A lot of the ‘same old’ did earn him a move to The Championship and make him a Scotland international who put in a MOTM performance on his debut and play in best run of results they’ve had in a generation. There were things at the other end of the scale, obviously, but the good outweighs the bad IMO.

Liam Henderson is still a free agent!

Why are we even talking about Triantis?!

[Lago]

Back to discussing Porto's ability or lack of, I guess it's another slow news day on the transfer front, although I see Modric is on his way to AC Milan at age 39 years, some player.

I wouldn’t want Hibs spending that kind of wage on any kind of central defender, unless we were somehow talking about someone with Sauzee’s attacking attributes.

If we’re paying those kind of wages I’d want it to be on someone who can create and score goals. Though I don’t think for one second that we are seriously in for McKenna in any case.

We were spending 10k a week on Chris Mueller.

If he was available for 10k a week, I'm not sure many hibs fans would turn it down given his experience and quality.
