Cummings, stokes, graham, holt, keatings

Might see keatings more as a 10

GreenCastle
31-01-2017, 08:06 AM
Rather than going by names of players we know..

What I feel we still need..

Goalscoring midfielder (you could say Commons was doing that)
Left footed winger
Possible centre back cover if Hanlon is getting an operation.

Doubt all 3 will happen but if you think back to Dundee Utd at home - we were such a balanced team and had a very strong bench that day.

I reckon we would only go for Stokes if the Commons deal didn't go through. Move Keatings into the hole and Stokes takes the other strikers role

If I am being honest I am not totally sold on the Stokes thing. His input and goals in the final last year were brilliant and will always make him a hero but prior to that had he really delivered to the extent we thought he would/could. It also highlights that Lennon thinks two of his striker signings haven't worked out.

In my view whilst we still need to score more goals when we are on top we are relatively well catered for up front in 4 strikers plus Boyle plus at least one youngster who is regularly scoring albeit at under 20 level.

Its a lot of money to spend on wages on someone else who won't be here beyond May.

I can see the value in Commons in that he adds a goal threat as well as creates opportunities so no issues with the spend their but I would rather we spend money on someone in a more pressing area (left sided midfielder/winger) and who was likely part of a longer term solution.

Can see where you're coming from; I also would vote for KC over Stokes... But on the other hand, we are still a Championship Scottish club and we really can't ignore quality if it's available......Forget who is here past May, this season is all about getting up and if NL thinks Stokes coming in helps, then I back that...
He did play well in many games and maybe the style last season meant he was not getting fed in behind, or cut backs, crosses etc.... With Humphrey now, it could see Stokes get more goals which is what people's main complaint was about him.

Let's see how it pans out, maybe he was a back up plan for KC falling through... Keatings can play that central role which KC does.

I think the Stokes story is a back up plan for KC not coming. Would certainly take the two of them but would be surprised (very pleasantly) to see them both sign.

of course not as well, but Lennon can't force things anymore than he has done with KC... and Keatings can do a job, with more quality up front as well (i.e. Stokes added), then he might see this plan as a decent alternative...

again, we should remember what league we're in and that we're actually signing quality over quantity for a change these days !

If Stokes can score more goals than Holt then it's a much needed signing, what we really need is just more goals, so anyone that brings that is welcome.

The Captain....
31-01-2017, 10:56 AM
If Stokes signs then I reckon he'll play on the left, as that's where he played at Celtic under Lennon and he probably enjoyed the best form of his career during that time.

Very true, Lennon got the best out of him at Celtic..I'm excited at the prospect of him returning. Would give the front 3 a great balance and would be good as anything out with Celtic in Scotland.

Really just a matter of covering Hanlon's absence as defence has been solid and picking the right blend from our embarrassment of riches in midfield. It's looking like a very strong squad imo should Stokes come in.

I'd be happy with the Stokes signing but would have far preferred Commons if i'm honest. Stokes had an incredible game in the cup final but other than that he never set the heather alight in the league and didn't score nearly as many goal as expected in this league. Before the cup final I remember many people on here saying that they were a bit disappointed and underwhelmed by him.


However, in Lennon I trust so if he believes Stokes could do a good job here then thats good enough for me and i'll be welcoming a Scottish cup hero back with open arms.

Celtic shouldn't consider themsleves inferior to those clubs but the difference is that if he had been playing for Sunderland or Everton we would be playing against EPL teams week in week out not the likes of Hamilton, Kilmarnock, Ross County etc.

I would agree with you about these players, and I think the Board might be thinking the same as well, now 8 points clear and hopefully another 3 points on Saturday and a superior goal difference might sway them to hold on to any money to bring players in the summer or as you say bring in a player to develop if the right player is out there to come in, our squad as it stands is still good enough to win this league, I could understand if things were close at the top of the table and there were other teams only a few points behind us, then yes I would want these players named above brought in to bolster the squad, but only the Arabs have any chance of catching us and I can't see that happening.

I still think we will bring in another player today but i don't think it will be Stokes or Commons, a loan player from down South would be my guess.

I'm with you. He was great when we played a team that wanted to play football which was why he was good against SPL sides and Sevco. He was very poor in the league and play offs as his 5 in 21 games suggests.

To be fair to him, the diamond/352 didn't help him as it left very little space to operate against narrow defences. I'm hoping that if we do get him, it's to play him on the left where he did so well for Lennon at Celtic and that should give him more space

It begs the question again, why is it never working out for him. The Scottish cup win will be the highlight of his career, nothing wrong with that right enough.
He has nine winners medals........

No you're not the only one and the fact that he can'tget a game for Blackburn Rovers tells it's own story.

Liam Fontaine - couldn't get a game for Bristol City
Chris Humphrey - couldn't get a game for Preston
Fraser Fyvie - couldn't get a game for Wigan

We miss quite a lot of chances, hopefully Stokes will up that conversion rate (if he signs)

What a magical performance in his last game for us though

Absolutely. Probably the best centre forward performance i've ever seen from a Hibs player.

Yea but winning a trophy with Hibs (especially the Scottish Cup) is a far greater achievement than winning one with Celtic. Since we last won the scottish, celtic have won the league 42 times, won the League cup 16 times and won the scottish cup 33 times....The only real achievement as a Celtic player is to be in the side for a couple of seasons and win nothing !! now that's a tough ask !

No I'm implying that it was predicted on this board two days ago that lazy journalism would link us with him at some point.

I think the achievement is having the ability to be a big player in the Celtic first team

Am I in the minority that doesn't want Stokes back? He wasn't exactly brilliant with Cummings up top. Yes he gave us that day in May but it was like his whole season led up to that point. Would rather it was left at that.
He brought a lot to his so I would think you are in the minority but not totally alone in your thoughts. Hope comes back.

Mates a Bristol City fan and said it was common knowledge down in Bristol if Fontaine played X amount of games he got an extension of contract with a big wage rise. New manager in and Fontaine not wanted under new contract, money wanted for other contracts. So sometimes a player not playing may have nothing to do with skill fitness levels but to do with other aspects of the game.

It was exactly the same for Hibs with John O'Neil. Blobby appeared to have been told not to play him for contractual reasons even though he was way better than many first team regulars at the time.

That may be why Black wasn't playing at Shrewsbury. If he played less than 12 games in a season he has to paint the skirting boards and dados.

Possibly a loan this time next year when he has 5 months left on his contract.

22 years old striker.
Was good in his last season with Motherwell but like most young Scottish players who go to England too early hasn't been able to get a game.

Hasn't played since being released by the huns I don't think. Im sure last year he declined an offer from Edinburgh City. Your right, waste of a career.

Left Rangers at the end of the season and turned down a move to Edinburgh City in November. Odd that no one's come in for him.

If he hadn't played that day in May I don't think fans would be so keen on his return. Unfortunately not every game this season is a cup final at hampden. We need grinders to get us results every week and some of the time Stokes just didn't fancy it.

Opinions .In mine Stokes is a very good football player There were stories on here that him and Cummings didn't get on .I for one didn't see that

I wouldn't be averse to giving him a contract till the end of the season, though it's probably telling re his injuries that he's received no offers worth taking.

Heard a story(from an ex coach) that he really struggled with the tactics side of the game, and i mean even the basics. Fine when he was told to just go and play....but failed to grasp even the most simple of tactics. Not sure how true but would explain his fall from first team football.

That was nonsense. Watch the celebrations after the cup final win, Stokes spent most of the time with his arm round Cummings.

Agree and he speak very highly of Cummings in his pre-cup final interview saying he's a great guy to have in the dressing room, not got a bad bone in his body etc. Did they always click on the pitch together in a football sense? No not always to be honest. But on a personal level they got on very well.
