I've seen Goram, Leighton ad Rough and on current form Rocky comes second behind Goram. He'd have to keep that form up over two or three seasons to cement his place in the Hibees pantheon of keepers though.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote

Rocky had a very good half season but I've never really taken to him.
His distribution is very poor and his concentration levels allow him to make the odd howler.
That said, he makes saves that very few other Hibs keepers make.
I do get the feeling that he thinks he's above us, he screwed the nut for half a season to improve his chances of getting a move elsewhere.
If there was any chance of getting Bogdan back, I'd go all out to make that happen.

He deserves a bigger club I think. He's been great for us, don't see any disrespect at all.

I’m hoping Rocky tipped off Hibs before mouthing off, gives Hibs time to get a replacement in

As ever, it is not altogether stunning that a Hibs player sourced from outside Scotland doesn't see his relatively low wage as something he's content with, and doesn't see Hibs all of a sudden as his everlasting footballing love...

Don’t know if anyone has seen the tweet from Kenny Millar on twitter but from reading that I would gather it’s the newspapers exaggerating

Don't see anything wrong with what he's said. He's been excellent and deserves a big pay day imo. If he moves on he'll go with my blessing. I'd be concerned if we were the hight of his ambitions. I want a team full of ambitious players. It's Hibs. Players will go if they're good enough. Clubs like us, Hearts and even Celtic are just springboards to better things these days.

Was never a fan tbh!
Too many nightmares just lurking there for me
I have to admit his last half season totally changed my mind
He was outstanding
Absolutely brilliant!
If he stays he stays if he goes he goes good luck to the guy
He will always have my support when he is in the HIBS goal
As others have said he would have to repeat that last half season to be up there with the real Hibernian all time great keepers for the next three seasons without any cock ups to be up there in my book
Theres only two Andy Gorams

No story here I think. Fair enough, he wouldn’t be human if he didn’t want what’s best for him and his family and he’s publicly saying that now. If nothing else it plants the seed in PH’s mind that keeping goalkeeper options well heated on the back boiler is important.

I’d be gutted to see Rocky go. I don’t see anything wrong with his quotes alright they aren’t great but it’s also likely that the EEN have just fired his quotes from Hebrew into Google Translate and went from there. If his mind set is to use hibs as a stepping stone to bigger teams I think he’s a good example for players we want to attract. Him McGinn McGeouch etc all thrived here knowing we provide a platform to international football and big moves, compare that to a Liam Craig/ Scott Robertson who’s big move would be hibs and look at how they examples worked out. I would always want an ambitious player over a comfy player. If he does go I wouldn’t be against us using a chunk of his fee to give bogdan a wage he’d sign for

Bogdan is a better all round keeper, he can play football too. I hope we are smart enough to sign him and make some cash from marciano.

tapped up by Lennon for Celtic?
otherwise I want ambitious players of his ability at hibs. id far rather this than crap we never enjoy or get talked about.
id be signing bogdan and cashing in if he wants to go. if not we have two top keepers. bogdan seemed to love it here so come on down.

I'm sure when Rocky signed, as with all aspiring players, the intention was to move onto a bigger club. He's served Hibs well, good luck to him if he does go.

As for Rocky, more than happy to get good cash for him and try and secure Adam Bogdan - solid keeper, good on the deck, and knows the club. I'm sure AB will have decent offers though. I've never been convinced by Dabrowski when I've seen him, and despite following young Paddy Martin since his performance academy days he's too young and raw to be near the first team (cracking lad who will do well in football - head well screwed on and deserves to do well in life).

Brilliant goalkeeper. The save v Dundee at ER last season was the best I’ve ever seen.
No problem with his comments.
This will always happen at hibs. We’ve done well to get 2 seasons out of him.
Good luck from me

Unfortunately Bogdan isn’t our player.

Not surprised - he’s a decent keeper and amazed we have kept him so long.
He’s not perfect but solid enough for Hibs and not surprised he has played for his country.
He is a great guy and his family have taken to Hibs so no complaints if he wants to go.
I just hope we have a few names lined up and would happily take Bogdan back who was in great form before his injury.

How long does he have left on his contract anyway? If over a year I can't see us letting him go on the cheap.
