Could We Sign An Experienced Goalkeeper This Week?

[Smurf]

If there any out of contract experienced keepers out there then perhaps it's possible?

We have a Cup final and a Semi Final in the next few weeks so i'm of the opinion that JC will this week be making calls and receiving calls.

McNeil is a quality young keeper but i think JC for now wants a bit of experience at this crucial stage hence his reason for playing Simple Brown recently..

[Bossie]

Only one that is so clueless that he is currently clubless.

Anyone know if Budgie is match-fit?

[exjarl]

Bring back Budgie! a class nutter.

Ed de Goey is available

I'd happily settle for McNeil, mind.

This is something I'd love to see happening, but don't think it will. If these two are the standard that we can get on the wages we are offering, I think its time for Hibs to step it up a bit - possibly pay that bit more in either wages/transfer fee - the Blunder two have cost hibs a fortune.

Tbh even if we didn't get a new keeper for the rest of the season, both brown and the clown have had far too many chances, and mcneill should play. I personally am not too panicky if mcneill was keeper for the final with a 17yr old understudy - cannae be worse than brown and the clown.

I suppose the worry for Collins is now that if Andy McNeil gets injured were down to a choice between two experienced pub team goalkeepers or Ally Brown or David Grof.

It's no coincidence to me that we progressed to a cup final once we'd ditched Brown & Malkowski.

That would be good. I doubt we could pay his wages.

If we have seen the last of Brown & Malkowski then i'm more than happy to see McNeil between the sticks. JC said when he walked into ER that if players were good enough then their age means nothing. By my reckoning Andy McNeil has made one misjudgement since he got the jersey.

He played Brown because McNeil picked up an injury preventing him playing at Tannadice & in fairness to Simon Brown he played well that day & if we're honest ,earned Hibs a draw.

No excuse for yesterday though.

but if he is out of contract, he won't be earning anything...

surely something is better than nothing,

if it was me I would consider it just to get a game and put myself in the shop window

Not a bad shout. How old was Budgie when we won the cup?

Feckin hell, i'm looking for omens anywhere& everywhere.

I'm convinced. You have my authority to open negotiations.

[HibeeEmma]

Would be really want to sign a new goalie and trust them coming in for the final.

Id rather have McNeil in who i have seen play several games.

i agree a new goalie would need time to get on the same wavelength as his defenders we would be better sticking with mcneill for the rest of the season... or playing 11 outfield

[HibeeJibee]

When Rangers got a free kick wide right with about 15 minutes left I shouted to put Jones in goal, he'd have a better chance of catching it. I think I'm probably right too.

[greensalamander]

I said on this forum before

Neil Sullivan


out on loan to Doncaster from Leeds

bags of experience

probably cheap

He has been told by Denis notso Wise to find a new club

[CityHibernian]

Heard a wee story that david marshall ,at norwich, will be joining us on a 3 year deal at the end of the season...think it was mencioned on Real phone in aswel..along with a french keeper on his way.....Barthez ? ...nah but on a serious note, Marshall would be a fucking great signing

[Grant1875]

Roughie said tonight he knows who Collins wants to sign but he couldn't get him in January. Is that no when Marshall went to Norwich?

Would be a good signing.
