What a great week!!3 days 3 signings

Hibs must be very confident in this guys ability to have sanctioned a three year deal for a 20 year old goalkeeper. He is about the same age as Andy McNeill after all. I would have preferred a more experienced keeper to be honest, but as I say he must have been very impressive for Hibs to have signed him on such a long deal knowing what a crucial position it is for us.

I missed it the very first time as well. Weird!

He was the understudy to two cracking keepers. Probably saw that his chances at Chelsea were few and far bewteen.

It's what we need a BIG STRONG KEEPER. McNeil has always looked a bit small to me.

Spot on, someone who commands the area. Any player who's been at PSV and Chelsea must be a great talent.

Great stuff Hibernian

Welcome to Hibernian Yves

Think we all would have but in these days you have to pay a lot for a good experienced keeper - ordinary and inconsistant experienced goalies come reasonably cheap but we've brought in loads of them over the last 10 years and we know what they were like... so worth taking a chance with a promising looking keeper. FWIW I reckon we will go for another keeper as well.

**Hibee_Lisa** · 27-06-07, 09:01

good stuff hibs welcome Yves

**wee 162** · 27-06-07, 09:06

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.
