Elias Wagner leaves Hibs - HibeesBounce.com

**southfieldhibby** · 21-08-07, 13:07

Left by mutual consent apparently.

shame we never saw him play, but good luck to the lad.

**TranentHibee** · 21-08-07, 13:33

seems a little strange. homesick maybe?

**1875** · 21-08-07, 13:55

I saw that this morning, he was only 16 so maybe found the change too much?

Deano-Shiels · 21-08-07, 17:20

Shame that Wagner has left the club as he sounded like a good prospect but must be hard at 16 to leave for a foreign country!!

lissihibee · 21-08-07, 17:28

Well i wish him all the best. I would have liked to see him in action first tho

**KeithTheHibee** · 21-08-07, 17:31

Thats a shame. He sounded a good prospect. All the best tae him tho

E.Lothian hibee · 21-08-07, 17:59

Wasn't it a theory that he was the 16 year old JC was talking about already training with the 1st team?

Bit disappointing if so, but assuming he's homesick not a lot you can do about it...

**SlovSam** · 21-08-07, 21:31

This was always a very strange signing as the supporters were fed some story that this was some sort of 'Wunderkid' who Celtic and half of the English premiership were after but he decided to come to Hibs instead.

It turned out he played for Admira Wacker(Who he

) reserve team in the Austrian second or third division but it was never explained why no other Austrian team or German Bundesliga team seemed to have been in the transfer market for him all of whom would have better training facilities than Hibs and there would have been no language barrier as well as the obvious lack of home sickness problems.

Good luck to him in his career and lets hope he makes it in football and at least he will always remembered from his first interview and his very endearing quotation about modelling himself on Cristiano Ronaldo and that everyone in Austria had heard of Hibs because Alan Orman had played here.

That was patrick dean.

**hibbymick** · 22-08-07, 05:56

Never mentioned he was homesick.. i take it we are just presuming.. If it was first team football he could have went out on loan for a while to a lower league team ..No?

Postiga · 22-08-07, 12:14

Not a lot Hibs could have done if he was homesick (if that was the reason), We have to remember he is only a 16/17 year old laddie who has come to a foriegn country so it would be hard for him to settle especially if he didn't know a word of English.

Good luck to the wee man with the rest of his career.

bobsgoatee · 22-08-07, 12:29

Surely if it was homesickness then we could have loaned him to team in his own country and had be learn english.

A year or 2 down the line we could have brought him back and seen if he was any better.

1875steve · 22-08-07, 14:58

He left because he wasn't getting a game for the first team!!!!

"I am disappointed that I am leaving Hibs but I feel I have to make this decision for my career."

"I have no problems with anyone at Hibs and I enjoyed being there but I feel I need to develop as a footballer and would have a better chance elsewhere. "

"I am grateful to Hibs for having the faith to sign me but I need to play at a higher level than the youth league."

Guthrie · 22-08-07, 18:23

its a shame he had to go . he could have been a really valuable player for the team . but good luck to him wherever he goes

**Decal Joe** · 22-08-07, 18:42

Maybe he was just shit.

Wouldn't be good business to let a gem go, even if he was homesick.

I've said it before, I'm not sure whether JC shows much compassion when it comes to football players.

Well, that's just silly. It really is.

Where is he going to go and get regular first team football at 16

Johnny Vegas · 22-08-07, 19:08

it that's true he's a bit full of himself if he thinks he should have been in the first team at 16

would like to see him stick around purely for the fact to try and see someone come up with a song with elias wagner in it

Actually I think it is more an inditement against the structure of the Scottish league in that there is no real competitive reserve structure.

Porty Thistle U17's would give him a game, I'm sure

Greenmachine · 23-08-07, 00:18

Reading between the lines a bit here..

My impression is that he thought he was at least going to be playing reserve team football this season, and maybe get to train with the first team. I suspect he was maybe promised this when he signed. So far he has played about 2 games with Hibs under 19's. Possibly the reason he feels a bit pissed off. He probably thought he was good enough to be playing more competitive football than he actually did in his short stay at Hibernian.
