Commons Back on.

[Thecat23]

Been told that Lennon is going back for Commons. Already had discussions but nothing more yet.

I thought his back was knackered

So did I. Clearly not if Lennon is wanting him to return.

[superfurryhibby]

Can't say this is the way forward for Hibs. Much rather we signed a younger, fitter midfielder. A longer loan in January would have shown whether Commons was fit enough to train and play every week. Now is not the time for it.

[bigwheel]

A fit Commons would be our best player...if he is fit and affordable - I'd be delighted!

Would be happy enough getting him back but only on the right deal for Hibs (i.e 1 year pay as you play or low basic salary with appearance and other bonuses to top it up).

Throw in some coaching and it could work well for both parties.

[Sir David Gray]

If he's fit, it would be a no brainer.

If true, than this smacks of Lennon scrambling to get someone in after losing out on first choice targets.

Despite the fact Lennon brought him in before in January, he excelled and Lennon was keen for him to stay on?

Hardly scrambling with six weeks or more left on the window and midfield being an area where we seem well covered for players (Swanson, Martin, Bartley, Boyle, McGinn, McGeouch).

We failed to sign one target who was a goalscoring mdfielder. Who else were we after that we missed out on?

[G B Young]

Would be a great signing if feasible. His contribution last season, brief as it was, was crucial in steadying the ship and getting us back on track for the title.

when he has already said pennant wont be signing

[Stokesy's on fire]

Kris Commons is a a superb football player. He made a massive difference in a short space of time when he was loaned to us last season. I will be over the moon if he signs for The Hibees again!

Didn't see that

We all wanted Libbra ended up with 35 year old Brewster
Following year we get Mixu
Not saying go all out for Stokes but need a proven hungry goal scorer

What makes you think we won't sign Stokes. Your last few posts would suggest we don't have much of a chance of getting him.

With regards Commons he's a quality footballer who when fit would be a superb acquisition. It would however have to be on our terms (pay per play).

O and if you read or listen to NL Pennant won't be getting a deal.

How do you know this??

A player of his calibre would bring loads to the team. He would however need to be fit

What has 2001 etc got to do with anything? If you want to have a go at the club/Lennon/whoever, is this the best you can do?

[lyonhibs]

I'd be delighted if Commons is who we get as a "scrabbling around having missed out on our main targets" signing.

Makes a difference from Zarabi etc bring signed on to back of a YouTube compilation

I thought he was excellent and helped bring on GOC.

Opinions eh!

Was still superb in that time and then went to Dunfermline and came back to haunt us IIRC. Formed a very good partnership with Crawford!

Paid by appearance with a coaching role, something along those lines, we should be offering

""This season was tough. Injury-plagued, there was no opportunity to impress new manager Brendan Rodgers. His loan spell at Hibs yielded two goals in five games for his old boss Lennon before further frustration.
Unfinished business?
"I haven't been fit enough to play," he added. "I get to a half decent level of fitness then I have to take a step back.
"I had a good stint at training October, November, December, went on loan to Hibs, but as soon as I came back that's when I started feeling the back again. It's a very niggly injury that has caused me a lot of problems over the year.
"I still feel I've got a little bit in me if I can get to a good level of fitness, but I've not been able to get to that top level to get into this team."
So, does he try to regain the level of fitness required and continue playing or does he decide it's time to hang up his boots?
"I still feel I have got unfinished business playing but the doubt for me is can I get to the level where I'm going to be the Kris Commons everyone knows," he said.
"If I'm not, then there's no point dwindling away. I'd rather finish on a relative high."
