Keatings - should he stay or should he go?

[weecounty hibby]

Keep for me. Chips in with goals and some of them crucial

[CMurdoch]

Two goals and an assist on Wednesday.
Good effort.

[blackpoolhibs]

Surely to god he'd not be our first pick next season, we need much better than him as a first choice forward especially if Cummings is sold.

He could stay as a back up player, but if he is in the team at the start of next season, he's either improved beyond recognition, or we've failed to get in the right type of players.

[ian cruise]

Stay. I think he's a much underrated player, when Jace wasn't scoring he stepped up until his injury. He's been in and out the team and used in different positions since then but on the whole he's still performed and more importantly chipped in with some really important goals. Some players might have switched off the other night with the game almost over and the league won but he gets that all important goal to send us all home happy. We'll need good players in the top league and I'd rather not gamble on an unknown quantity when we have a great striker of the ball who is already familiar with the club and the squad.

if theres any chance of cummings going then it would be stupid to let keats go . he's the best finisher we have if you take cummings out the equation

[Greenworld]

Stay great squad player

Stay

meh

[Bishop Hibee]

I'd like him to stay but there's no way Hibs can guarantee him first team football every week especially if Cummings stays for another season.

Unfortunately that was his 1 out of 6 good games and the reason he's never played at a higher level than the championship, back up/impact sub at best. He's 25 now, how much improvement is there?

[eastmainsmsh]

I think if jc goes we have keatings to step up I think he is a cracking player keep

[Golden Bear]

Good player but needs more self belief. Worth another contract without a doubt.

[ancient hibee]

He's got an offer from Hibs.He'll now wait to see if he gets a better offer elsewhere.If he does he'll go and if he doesn't he'll stay.

[Hibeewilly]

Definitely let go for me. Decent in the Championship but the SPL is a bit different

[HoboHarry]

Three goals in his last two games, let's get rid of him. Seriously???

[My_Wife_Camille]

5 league goals this season. Very poor return. Time to go

[BarneyHibby]

Stay

Keatings only scored 1 goal all season until his injury.

If he stays then it has to be back up at most. The notion that he could actually replace Cummings (if he goes) is up there with Yogi believing he could replace Anthony Stokes with Darryl Duffy.

Its not the 3 goals in 2 games thats the problem its the 20 other games.

Keep him but I want us to sign somebody to go straight into team.

Agree with this.

James is one of the heroes who made a direct impact along with Hendo when coming on as a sub when winning the holy grail.

Stay for me please.

glory glory

Leave it to Lenny

He should grab it quick before they change their mind

[Ronniekirk]

He is now saying he wants more game time for first team so bit of gamesmanship going on right enough

If he stays then fine, although I'd like to think we can get better.

[Unseen work]

Is it just me that's kind of frustrated he has scored 3 in his last 2?


Dont get me wrong it's brilliant he has scored but i can't help but feel annoyed as he clearly has the ability so why has he just started showing it so late on and not do it consistently.

is it cause the pressure is off? Because he is playing as an actual striker?

I think thats the thing thay that frustrates me the most, you can tell he has ability, good left foot and good finishing but he doesn't show it enough.

you have to think of his time over 2 years here and not the past 2 games.

Yet 2 weeks ago he was telling his agent to get the deal done

That was for the fans.Like all footballers he rightly wants the best deal he can get.

I think he looks like he's really trying to prove a point - to either the fans or Neil Lennon. He is much better as an out and out striker and I think he wants to try and prove that.

To be fair, his goals to minutes ratio last season wasn't far behind Jason.

This season, Lennon tried to mould him into a Commons type player, which he needs greater strength for.
