Re: Goalkeeper signs up

Quote:
I'm less keen on this signing than on any of the other ones tbh. I feel that McNeil is a bit lacking in experience, but has done okay. His howler in the last derby was preceded by making a couple of very good saves which kept us in the game at that point. So yes, he's made mistakes, but at least there are signs that he's got the potential to be a very good keeper imo. If we were going to be signing another one, I would have much preferred it to be one who was experienced who could bring him on.

The other thing that I would say is that there is no reason to believe that the fans will have any more patience with the new guy than with McNeil. He will make mistakes, every keeper does. The reaction of the support is liable to be the same as with every other keeper we have had recently, immediate loss of faith and confidence in him, and calls for him to be dropped.
Its rare you and me agree without there being differing views to a point but thats spot on how I feel.

Very disappointed we have signed competition for the goalkeeping place which is the same age and experienced as the very young one in at the moment.

Can we atleast give Yves time to come in and build his presence at Hibs. There will be mistakes, let him learn from them.

Welcome Yves.

Re: Goalkeeper signs up

what he lacks in experience he makes up for in presence IMO, that's the difference between him and McNeil. I think Makalamby shares similar qualities to Craig Gordon when he broke into the yams first team; he's a bit of a giant, apparantly athletic and commands the area. That's exactly what we needed, regardless of age.

Personally I think it's another good signing, and another well done is due to Collins & Petrie! Welcome to Hibernian Yves

Indeed. He has everything McNeil hasn't. However was experience not one of the things we were crying out for after witnessing McNeil suffer at times?
His height and presence won't be able to pull him through the heckles of the Hibs support after an unlikely or unlucky error.

True, but we signed experienced keepers in brown and malkowski and that didn't work out well. I don't think either of them had the physical presence that a great goalkeeper requires. Makalamby appears to have that quality.

As for the heckles, I think it depends more on his character rather than experience. It either affects badly (like it has to McNeil) or you grow stronger because of it. Hopefully we won't find out at tynecastle!!

Re: Goalkeeper signs up

Great signing... never seen him play, but the fact he was held in high regard at chelsea and PSV can only be positives, McNeil wasn't all bad, but i would very dissapointed had he started the season between the sticks... lEts hope the big man can proove himself from the start. Dunno what all the talk of him only be 21 is all about... the 2 best keepers in the game got there chance younger than that... Iker at madrid at big gigi at Juve.
I still want a proven goal scorer brought in now... have my doubts about clayton and benji ... need some1 to back those guys up i feel.... Mon the Cabbage.

Re: Goalkeeper signs up

Looks like a good signing for the future but I was hoping JC would sign someone with a bit of experience. Hibs goalies and their slip-ups are becoming the focus of a lot of attention, and to put a young keeper in that spotlight is asking a lot. However I wish him well and welcome him to the club.

Songsters should bear in mind that his name is pronounced EE-VAY :YAYYY:

Will he be given a full chance at Hibs? Or half a one because of past keepers of recent?
