Since before he left us many have been convinced he will take this path. I am not sure why mind you

2 goals for him today as his team remain top of League 1 in England. Fair play to the boy.
The fact is though....He is so much better than the third tier of football!
If he had stayed for another year...he would be playing for a good championship or even bottom of the league EPL team now.
I'm sure the money helps though.
Love him. Hibs legend. Sparked the comeback and killed them off at Easter Road. Lifted the Cup. Legend.
Hopefully he does well down there and gets sold in summer of more money.
Surely we have some kind of sell on clause
Not at all, I was at the Villa v Brentford game and I would be confident of beating both, I also recently saw us take 4 off Shrewsbury and they were league 1. Our top 5 teams are a lot better than some people make out. Our middle table teams are also better than average and better than most league 1 teams. The only teams I think would struggle are St Mirren, Hamilton, Livingston and Dundee, having said that there are teams in our championship that would survive comfortably in league 1. All imho of course.
Yes it's League One but there's people on here telling us that Cummings would be back to Scotland soon enough and to lower half Premier team or our Championship. What with all the £1m strikers kicking about in these teams:rolleyes:
Currently looks much more likely to get himself back to the English Championship
IMO
Old Firm would be Newcastle in EPL
Hibs, Hearts & Aberdeen would be Championship
Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Dundee & St Johnstone would be EL1
St Mirren, Livingston & Hamilton would be EL2
2 goals & 2 assists for cumdog today
My opinion. Jason looks a dick in a blue shirt :wink::greengrin
Seriously hes banging them in for a free scoring Peterborough team. He struggled a bit at Forest but doing the biz a rung lower. He's still young still developing and his bank balance has probably improved a lot.
Hopefully he can make a career for himself down there, looks to be doing well. As long as we never see him again at Rangers or Hearts.
Imagine someone ploughed Man City money into one of the Glasgow clubs. Can't stand them but i reckon only Man United are bigger than those two, Liverpool maybe on a par. They'd be winning things down south pretty quickly. Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen would find their way to the Pemier league eventually. Far bigger clubs than the likes of Burnley, Bournemouth and Huddersfield.
So are Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Sunderland. Yet they're not in the top division down south.
I'd say the top half of the Championship and the occasional couple of seasons in the top flight would be realistic of us, Aberdeen and Hearts unless serious money is injected.
Jason Cummings is and in my opinion never will be good enough for an EPL team, even if they are bottom of the league.

Hate to say it BUT IF Rangers and Celtic played in the EPL and had the money that comes with it they'd be top 8 at least and pushing for Europe. On the same note, give Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen the money that comes with playing EPL football and we'd all compete. No way anyone can tell me Bournemouth, Brighton, Huddersfield, Watford, Burnley etc...are bigger than us.

Why? What makes you think they could attract the worlds best players to Glasgow as oppose to London or say Manchester? Its just subjective opinion certainly not fact, IMO I thnk you would find Celtic and rangers would struggle to attract the very best of talent required to compete in the top 8 of the EPL. Do you think Celtic and Rangers "massiveness" is carried much beyond these shores? I think not.

God I hate to stand up for the Old Firm but I need to disagree. Just look at some of the players Rangers and Celtic used to sign. We were still a "lesser league", still regularly pumped out of Europe and England was still the big fish however these big names went to them. They're well known, their in a good city (easily equal to Manchester, etc. Anywhere outside of London to be honest) and they have fanatical fans who create an atmosphere compared to some clubs down south.
I don't know where they finish, there's lots of clubs n England who get a share of the wealth and still perform poorly, but players would come to both if they were in EPL before they'd go to many of the clubs in the current league.
