There's folk on here just making things up as they go along.

Dumfries YMCA set to swoop for Andy Halliday.

Think it's 5 assists, but in 16 games that's an improvement from our midfield stats from last season. I still think he'll play a vital role for us this season though and would be sad to see him go in this window.

Hibs highest earner is on 2k a week basic. No chance Commons will get double that even if its only for 6 months.

4 months surely. End of Jan to End of May. £50k well spent

No player at Easter Road has a basic above £2k.

Win bonuses could possibly get it up to that figure though.

Ah. Perhaps that's where the miscommunication has came in and it's closer to 4k a week after win bonuses and 2k basic. That win bonus will be a welcome extra with how regularly we win this season.

This. Shinnie is out and out one of our best players this season. He seems to get a lot of criticism as he does seem to make errors but this is mostly due to the fact he is involved with almost every attacking play we make, when he is on the pitch. The more he is on the ball the more he will get noticed when he makes a bad pass or doesn't release the ball, but overall Shinnie has been up there with the best this year...... and like every football squad, a dip in form gives someone else the chance and if they take it then you have to bide your time for your next chance.... Just look at Cummings! (and Fontaine now we have changed shape!). Football is a squad game, not just a team game these days too... we need a strong and deep squad to finish this season in first place as well as make efforts to retain the Scottish Cup.... a shallow squad has been our downfall in seasons past and I think Lennon sees this.

Totally agree.

Very similar situation as to when Fyvie got berated for slack passes and getting caught in possession. He takes the ball so often by making himself available and trying to make thing happens.

Glad to see that most people now recognise how important a player Fyvie is for us.

Still believe Shinnie has a big part to play for us. He will get his chance when injuries suspensions kick in

Can all pick random photos to suit our own argument

What and whose argument? I didn't even open my mouth for you to put words in

let alone express an opinion on the player's weight, BMI or fitness. It's for others, if they to wish or not, to form an opinion on an apparent pictorial contrast.

We want Commons because we MUST get promotion.
Why would Aberdeen push the boat out for him financially.
So they might beat Hearts to 3rd. No real point.

More likely McInnes would try and sign MOH from The Rangers

No it's not.

***Heisenberg*** · 21-01-2017 08:06 AM

Why would Aberdeen replace a rapid left winger with Kris Commons? Makes no sense to me.

I think we expect too much from some players too soon - that they hit the ground running. It doesn't always work like that - especially in midfield.

I remember when Hibs signed Pat McGinaly from Blackpool. He wasn't a laddie - he was already 21 and he made his debut at the beginning of season 88-89. I think most people thought he was a reasonable player, but there definitely wasn't a "wow" thing.

It wasn't until season 91-92 that he started scoring regularly, until then he'd only totalled a handful of league goals.

These days it seems that many would want to empty him after 6 months.

I agree with your point generally but don't see this applying to Shinnie.

We have a player coming from a much higher level to play in the Scottish Championship. It's reasonable that we expect him to perform immediately and consistently be contributing goals and assists.

He's done that in flashes but prior to Xmas had some truely shocking games. Utd and Morton away for example when we needed much more from him.

I wouldn't be unhappy to see him replace Commons today but he needs to show some serious improvement.

Also I understood Hibs could not cancel his loan in January - Shinnie was quoted explaining the importance of having a full season somewhere. Sounded like he had it agreed he'd be here for the season

Based on that quote he would want to be playing regularly, so if we sign Commons then Shinnie may prefer to go elsewhere and Hibs would presumably be happy to get him off the wage bill. That would leave the final decision up to Birmingham who may not want him back, so he'd have to find another club to take him first.

Correct, it all depends if we sign Commons, if that happens then Shinnie will be purely a back up and nothing more, does he want that? he probably expected to be a starter every week when he came in.

Aberdeen mount absolutely no challenge for the title so I doubt it.

The thread has been hijacked but I will say that Shinnie is a class football player and anyone who doesn't recognise this would be better employed visiting the shops on a Saturday afternoon.

If a guy coming from a club representing the 2nd biggest city in britain cant stand out against guys who play junior football in scotland then there's something wrong! Hope he is on the bench next week purely because that'll mean commons is back!

***GreenNWhiteArmy*** · 21-01-2017 08:09 PM

Hope we manage to keep a hold of commons till the summer as he's contributed significantly in a short period of team. If we don't then we've got Shinnie to come back in. Would agree with those saying he's a quality player and the similarities to the comments about Fyvie previously. He gets on the ball and sometimes it doesn't come off for him but he'll never hide and still thinks the next ball will come good.

Commons to Aberdeen isn't a bad shout tbh. IF Hayes does go then the sheep, and the board in particular will be under pressure to take a gamble to keep off rangers. They might be able to offer a decent enough 18 month deal to go there

so if all the team were supposed to be standouts by your reckoning he was the standout of the standouts if he was voted MOTM
