Cummings to Forest Rumour

[Phil MaGlass]

Does anyone else think that even if it is 1.4 million or thereabouts it is still a fairly significant amount of money for a club in Scotland? Especially considering we have all our own facilities, are paying no rent to anyone and only in debt to pay off mortgages on our stadium?

Yes more would be great and all but if the full amount or 2/3rds is to go on the team that still seems like a great return to me.

Add on the 11400 odd STs sold so far and it makes for a healthy transfer budget!
No 1.4 mill for a prospect like him is pi5h

[RossScott1991]

Kenny Millar has just tweeted hibs are in for moult and Stewart.. here's hoping !

[ElginHibbie]

Sun saying we are after Louis Moult and Greg Stewart as replacements

[Dunbar Hibee]

I'd absolutely love it if we sign Louis Moult!!

[Sioux]

Excuse me, but are you really saying the agent will pass on information that will reduce the signing-on fee and therefore his commision?

Don't think so.:bitchy::bitchy:

Come into the real world.

[Posh Swanny]

Jason has proved that he's a natural goalscorer J-C, albeit at Scottish Championship level. I believe he has the potential to do so at a higher level if he calms down, cuts out the nonsense, and works hard at his game. Goalscorers are worth their weight in gold to use that old football cliche.

NF paid £5m for a striker signed from League 1 I believe. If Hibs have agreed a figure of £1-£1.4m in Cummings' contract that's a mistake, and is selling ourselves short. Again just my opinion mate. :aok:


The guy they paid that for now has a record with them better than 1 in 2 and attracting interest of bigger clubs so his fee appears to be justified.


There's a few added factors to the fee. We paid £1.6 million for Brit and had him on a longish contract having raked in £6 million the year before from selling Dwight Gayle. Also, Forest had ****ed us around with George Boyd and a failed eye test on deadline day a few years before that so Barry and Darragh played hard ball.

As strikers, Brit and Gayle were on a different planet to anything I've seen before or since in a Posh shirt though and £5m-£6m genuinely didn't seem particularly outlandish at the time.

[ancient hibee]

Excuse me, but are you really saying the agent will pass on information that will reduce the signing-on fee and therefore his commision?

Don't think so.:bitchy::bitchy:
Think you're missing the point somewhat.The release fee is what the buying club has to pay the selling club.This has no effect on signing on fees.

As long as you replace 20 goals a season.

When you look at Jason's yearly goal tally against suggested replacements like Moult and Stewart you realise just how good it is.

[Arch Stanton]

Come into the real world.

You're right - as ancient hibee points out I haven't thought that one through.

However, I'm not a believer in the 'get out clause' theory anyway, I'm more of a 'gentlemans agreement' man myself. :greengrin

[brog]

The fact that Jason signed the contract, he'll know. He'd have read it! His agent will know - that's how NF will know.

Jason thought he needed a passport for Cardiff, I wouldn't necessarily expect him to be au fait with all the exact terms of his contract. Personally I'm not convinced JC has a specific release clause in his contract, these things remain comparatively rare & AFAIK no MSM have as yet mentioned such a clause. Fletch & Broony had a gentleman's agreement only & those transfers worked to everyone's benefit. I'm sure JC's will be more formal but I believe LD etc may have left us with some wriggle room. Here's hoping!

If he does go then that's 3 of our 4 strikers from last season that need replacing. And Graham didn't really convince last season.

Quite a risk.

I think it was a travel plug adapter. :greengrin

[Diclonius]

If we replace Cummings with Stokes, Stewart and Moult with Shaw and Murray in reserve, we'll be fine. Boyce would be even better.

It's a far cry from James Collins and Rowan ****ing Vine, but the window's not over so I won't celebrate just yet..

[Cabbage7062]

SSN reporting that NF could be losing Britt Assombalonga to Boro. I'd imagine they will be getting a decent fee for him if they do sell.

[brog]

I think it was a travel plug adapter. :greengrin

You're right, even better!!

[RossScott1991]

I hope the move is completed ASAP, swiftly get confirmation and some clarification how much the fee is, and what is our plan from there. Would love for it to be announced by tomorrow. Let Jase have his farewell interview in the EEN and then hear thoughts from Leanne and Lennon.

[staunchhibby]

Ye given the support they have had this season would be nice to have an update re what is happening.

[Lago]

As long as you replace 20 goals a season.

When you look at Jason's yearly goal tally against suggested replacements like Moult and Stewart you realise just how good it is.
Moult & Stewart scored in the top league, Jason in the 2nd tier, so not exactly like for like, but undoubtedly he will be missed. However you can't deny the boy an opportunity to improve his game.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

As much as Jase will be missed on the pitch, I'm sure he'll be equally missed off it. A big factor in our comeradary and the feel good factor down at East Mains

[JDHibs]

Our strikeforce for next season, if rumours are to be believed is looking like -

Moult
Stewart
Stokes
Murray
Shaw
Graham (although rumoured to be leaving last month)

Id be delighted with that, Cummings has had a major burden to be our goalscorer for 3 seasons, that lot their all score goals but also bring more to the table in terms of all round play and versatility. Stewart/Murray/Stokes have all played out wide in the past and have been effective.

Am i sad to see Cummings go? Yes, it is a major disaster? No. Every player has his price and every player can be replaced.

[21sMay]

Still Think Lennon will look to bring In a big target man like Holt. Seems to like the idea of a big man to batter defences

[Spike Mandela]

Can't deny the boy his chance at bigger wage of course not. Just don't think he will be as easy to replace as some think.

Check their stats when they were Jason's age and played at a much lower level. Jason is streets ahead.

Do you doubt cummings would score in the Scottish Premiership, I don't. He's scored against Hearts, Rangers, Aberdeen, St Johnstone, Hamilton, Dundee Utd.....etc

I know he would score in the top league, no doubt but 20 goals in the season not sure. The bottom line is I think he has indicated a desire to move on and play down South. NF are not & will never again be a top flight EPL club, but as a stepping stone for Jason ideal. I wish him well.:aok:

[southern hibby]

Have no inside knowledge at all, but would not be surprised if JC is loaned back to us for the season. Only reason I think this is because of the money being quoted for him, if this figure is true.

If this were to happen it would suit both parties, we get money and a season more from JC and NF get a lad cheap and another season developing in a higher league than he has played in.

GGTTH

[Keyser Sauzee]

Why are folk thinking Stewart is a striker, he's never played there and plays as an attacking midfielder. He won't be part of our forward line if he signs. Good player

[Arch Stanton]

Still Think Lennon will look to bring In a big target man like Holt. Seems to like the idea of a big man to batter defences

I thought that was more about finding a striking partner for JC - bit of a lost cause as it turns out.

Hopefully NL will find a way to make us more effective up front as we have been a bit dysfunctional.

Would make a lot of sense.

would be taking a step up in league,playing ever single week,and if he does well.....back down the road for his chance in January.

Cummings has ahell of a lot potential! But if you think he's gonna just walk into a championship team,and play 90 mins every week...your having a laugh.

[the_ginger_hibee]

No - it's a guy called Balls Mahoney (https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=balls+mahoney&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjU_PmO_LrUAhXjJMAKHdx9AG8Q_AUICygC&biw=1366&bih=700) and I'm sure he'll be the piledriver in midfield that Forrest need to stunner the league.

[snooky]

My prediction is we'll lose a couple of key players, Hibs will say they've finished all their tramsfer business and we've got a great squad that could well win the SPL. This will be followed by a couple of panic buys in January thereafter a bottom six dog fight to stay up. Season tickets will soar again prior to the selling of star players.

It's never happened before so I'll probably be proved wrong on all accounts.

At best Cummings will be making subs appearances.
£1.4 million is pocketmoney to Championship clubs...you really shouldnt kid yourself on on that front.

Really?

So the club have operated with a premier league quality squad for 3 years to get back into the top league and NOW we will cut back? Season tickets and average crowds at record levels. It's recognised that income could be c£2m+ up from last season from just being in top league and we are about to get c£1.5m in cash on top of that.

We have a manager who has already said he expects us to compete for 2nd.

Yet you think Leanne and co are going to go into next season without replacing the 3 strikers we lost including one of them being top scorer for last 3 years?

No guarantee we will get our targets in market but I am willing to bet any amount of money the scenario you suggest will not happen.

These things tend to get managed by the agents now - you very rarely get multiple bids in because agent has already sussed out interest and decided what player wants.

http://www.nottinghampost.com/jason-cummings-reportedly-completes-medical-as-nottingham-forest-move-draws-near/story-30390851-detail/story.html

Nottingham Forest are closing in on the signature of Jason Cummings after the Hibernian striker reportedly completed his medical ahead of a move to the City Ground.

The Reds are now in the final stages of negotiations over the £1m transfer, according to Daily Telegraph reporter John Percy.

Cummings fired Hibs back into the Scottish Premier League as winners of the Scottish Championship last season – and has netted 69 goals in 148 games for the Easter Road club.

The 21-year-old has been the Edinburgh club's top scorer for the last three seasons, scoring 23 goals last season, 25 in the previous season and 21 during the 2014/15 campaign.

Forest are also understood to be close to signing Blackburn winger Connor Mahoney ahead of Celtic.

£1M? Remember, that's almost seven Sparkys. :nerd:

[neil7908]

I'm going to wait until we know for sure what the exact figure is, or that he's definitely leaving as there have been some widely varying numbers doing the rounds here and in the media.

But IF we're getting anything less than £1.5m for him I'd be really disappointed.

[Heisenberg]

Majority of papers have been leading with the "£1m transfer" on their headlines but the actual articles say its more than that. It'll be undisclosed and we'll probably never find out the real figure, leading to wild speculation and mass meltdown.

[J-C]

£1m for a player who nearly his whole career in Scottish Championship Is about right, people taking about £2m+ for him need a reality check

[Elephant Stone]

£1m for a player who nearly his whole career in Scottish Championship Is about right, people taking about £2m+ for him need a reality check

[makaveli1875]

Reality checks in football don't exist sadly. Not yet, money is abundant in EPL so it's skewing reality. Won't last though.

He's 'worth' £30M because he's English. EPL clubs have a quota to meet of players trained in country, any English player proven at EPL level is vastly overvalued. Not only that, but Pickford is already delivering at the highest level. Can you say the same for Cummings?

EDIT: I should point out that I still think that £30m is ridiculous for Pickford

[Albanian Hibs]

£1m for a player who nearly his whole career in Scottish Championship Is about right, people taking about £2m+ for him need a reality check

Nonsense. What about that boy from the huns that went down south and had only played a few 2nd or 3rd or whatever division games for them? Did he not go for more than a million? Cummings is worth more than a million.

[Real Emerald]

we got him for nothing , no sell on fees to pay out . Not a bad piece of business TBH

It's not a bad piece of business but, if we've already rejected a bid of nearly double that it's not too much of a stretch of the imagination to think we may have got that offer again, or better. No one knows the details of any these deals and any agreements that were put in place when he signed his four year deal but based on the previous rejected offer I don't think it is a good deal. The previous offer proves he's worth more than what's being quoted. Based or pure speculation and not knowing any of the facts that is.

[J-C]

Jason stayed an extra year to get us back up, he signed a contract with a buy out clause at £1m, Lennon and LD are obviously happy enough because if he didn't sign he'd be away for nowt.


When was the last player from Scotland sold for mega bucks? Yep hard to think of one, probably Fletcher, Jason is prospect and nothing more, he's not proved anything yet, Forest are buying a prospect not a proven top class striker.

[J-C]

Nonsense. What about that boy from the huns that went down south and had only played a few 2nd or 3rd or whatever division games for them? Did he not go for more than a million? Cummings is worth more than a million.

Not if he didn't sign his deal last year he wasn't, a case of scratching backs here, he gets us up and we get £1m.

The previous offer proves he's worth more than what's being quoted. Based or pure speculation and not knowing any of the facts that is.

That bid was full of add ons, we needed his goals to get up, we didn't but we won the cup instead, I'm pretty sure if we got promotion last season Jason would be been away last summer.

[asayers]

The fact the rags down south are clearly stating it's a cheap deal for NF is a kick in the teeth to us Hibees....! I for one will not be best pleased if we've lost nearly £800k from last years figure that was being banded about! Really doesn't sound like a Petrie deal of yesteryear, what's happened to the top end negotiator on this deal as it feels like we're getting bumped at the £1m figure.

[Captain Trips]

I just think we get the piss taken a bit up here, irrelevant what leauge he scored his goals in a club think he can do it in Championship. I rate players on their ability its nit his fault all his goals are in lower league. IMO JC is worth 3 or 4x 1m. He is a better player in my view than lots if folk who have went for a fair bit more.

[asayers]

Lennon clearly stated a few weeks ago the money on offer last year reported £1.7/£1.8m wouldn't now buy his right leg, yet we seem to be happy to take £800k less today, doesn't seem right to me.

[Macaroon]

Jason stayed an extra year to get us back up, he signed a contract with a buy out clause at £1m, Lennon and LD are obviously happy enough because if he didn't sign he'd be away for nowt.


When was the last player from Scotland sold for mega bucks? Yep hard to think of one, probably Fletcher, Jason is prospect and nothing more, he's not proved anything yet, Forest are buying a prospect not a proven top class striker.

Where has the assumption come from that there is a release clause, other than whispers? As far as credible sources go (Kenny Millar for one) most are saying there is no clause in Jason's contract.

Everyone assuming that the fee is £1m seems to have come from nowhere as well. The twitter cowboy Agent Scotland claimed it was 1.4m out of thin air. Most of these £1m figures mentioned in press are likely coming from the initial Sun article that mentions a "seven figure fee".

Unless Hibs/Forest release the fee when the deal is confirmed, we won't know. I'm confident though that LD and RP will know what a fair value is, and won't sell unless that is met. It's not as if Forest are the only club interested in JC.

[Real Emerald]

Not if he didn't sign his deal last year he wasn't, a case of scratching backs here, he gets us up and we get £1m.

If Cummings has said that he would only stay if given an enhanced four year deal with a £1m buy out clause and that was the final position, I think we would all have rather him sign it rather than leaving. There is no other counter arguments to it if that is what was said. I would have thought the buy out clause could have been justified to go higher but at the end of the day if that's what it took to get him for another season then we just have to live with it I suppose.

Do you have ANYTHING positive to say about Hibs??

Would be good if there was a way to find out on here!

Regardless, looks like hes offski given he wasnt in the new shirt launch

I dont believe fee will be as low as £1million

The release clause was mentioned by his dad to me 2 weeks ago which I posted here on the private board, he laughed when I mentioned £2+m, nowhere near that was his reply.

Of course! :agree:

You just seem a bit miserable. 13 posts in, and not a positive word about the mighty Hibees!

Cheer up eh!

[Hibee Mac]

IF the fee is around the £1m mark we may not be selling ourselves short.

Even though we turned down £1.7m last season Leeann and co may have made the decision to make sure we kept Cummings 1 more year even if it meant selling him for less this season with a £1m buy out clause.

It may have been the only option to make sure we kept him and his goals to get promoted AND get some kind of pay off for him.

[asayers]

I can only go on the figures i've read here or the number of articles which have stated the as amounts. I'm sure they will and if £1m is the figure they can get then that's that. However that still seems a lot less that most would have expected.

If you are taking the figures you are reading here or in the press as gospel then you are either 15 years old or have an agenda to bash Hibs.

[lumbo_hfc]

We've never been offered 1.8 million, if we had, he would have been away a while ago... let's start being realistic here. All guesswork in the papers, trying to get one-up on each other!

Wouldn't surprise me if it's somewhere between 500k and 1 million from what I've heard. The lower end of that seem to be the going rate for proven spl forwards (Stewart and Boyce)

[Macaroon]

The release clause was mentioned by his dad to me 2 weeks ago which I posted here on the private board, he laughed when I mentioned £2+m, nowhere near that was his reply.

Fair enough, I'd still be surprised if the clause meant we'd have to let him go for a no-strings attached £1 million though. Usually there's a general clause value agreed upon between the club and player and both must agree that a bid meets the value of the clause. I'm sure even if the fee is low Hibs will be working in sell-on percentages and bonus clauses.

[Real Emerald]

That's a bit harsh, the guy is only discussing what he's read on here or in the papers and casting his opinion (like all of us), to say he must be 15 isn't really necessary.

Best get to bed for School in the morning then, bashing the team I love..........behave.

[lochhibs]

if this was, lets say a falkirk player with JC's record, what valuation would we think he would be worth? forget what was rumoured to have been offered before because it was probably full of add ons and that might have been what the total fee would have been if they were all met. £1m for a player that has only scored goals in the championship is still a decent amount. if we get a % of a sell on it's a bonus. all just my opinion and rather he was staying.

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

it's a difference of opinion. what's your valuation and why do you think he's worth that?

[madhatter]

Is Pickford worth 30m? It is a difference of opinion but I'm sure most of us agree that Pickford isn't worth 30m even though he is a good goalkeeper. Based on the money getting talked about for Tierney and Dembele as well, Cummings is worth at least 1.5m. Does he not have a better goal scoring rate than Fletcher had when he left? We got 3m for Fletcher if memory serves...

for me a player is worth what a team is willing to pay. fletcher played in the top league, JC, apart from cup games, has a 1 in 2 ratio in the 2nd tier of scottish football. the english look down at our top league as it is and his goals have came in the championship. £1.5m isnt unrealistic but i still think £1m is a decent amount.

Cummings and Fletcher are not comparable.

And cummings has still never scored a top flight goal. Of coirse, we all k ow he would or could, but that will affect his value.

Good points made here.

Look at the valuations being quoted for Boyce after the season he's just had, Ross County will be getting 400k/500k. Motherwell will be lucky to get the same for Moult who's just scored near enough 20 in each of the last 2 seasons.

Dundee didn't get anywhere near the £1m mark for either Stewart or Hemmings after their high scoring seasons.

yes it stings if we only get £1m for Jason what with the contract he's still got to run but we are taking a bigger fee than most clubs will get for established SPL goal scorers.

it's looking more and more clearer that there has been a gentlemans agreement that if he did the business last season he'd be allowed to leave with little fuss. Guess we just have to thank him and wish him well whilst hoping NL gets the necessary funds to go replace him.

[makaveli1875]

i think its a reasonable bit of business , he cost nothing , weve no sell on fee to pay out . Weve got some priceless goals from him and now we get a million quid and a cut of his next transfer fee . its hardly a shan deal for us

[madhatter]

My point is even if Nottingham Forest doubled it to £2m that would still be a bargain in modern footballing terms. Also If the English look down on our game how did we get £3m for Fletcher? May I add this was also at a time when there was less money in English football...

I do agree with what you are saying though but I can't see why Hibs would be accepting bids of £1m, that being less than what we supposedly got offered last season and also after Lennon said this season that £1.7m wouldn't pay for his bad foot. Just strange, he has longer contract, another season behind him and also added set pieces to his game but bizarrely goes for cheaper than a year previous?

[NadeAteMyLunch!]

it's a difference of opinion. what's your valuation and why do you think he's worth that?

I think he's worth at least 2 million. He is a natural goalscorer. He scored 30+ in his development season, has managed 20+ in his three professional Championship seasons, he scores tap ins, worldies, is now a real threat with free kicks, has a decent delivery on him, has confidence in abundance, is the definition of a 'big game player', has scored countless goals against premiership opposition, scored a cracker in his one crack at Europe(wrongly disallowed doesn't change that fact), is a massive character and fans favourite and has a ridiculous amount of potential.

As I say, speechless that folk think a million is a good deal. If that was the agreement last summer then fair do's-not much we can do about it. Shan price nonetheless

fletcher was scoring goals in the top division though, if the English look down there nose at our top league Christ knows what they think of the first division!!

Also it seems that last years deal was going to be in instalments with add ons that we may never have seen.

Id actually say that if this deal has add ins related to future caps/goals we might still no see it all as I don't think this will be a good move for him. My guess would be he is at either us or the Huns within 18 months.

I agree with you that the price is a bizarre climb down but if that is what it took to keep him last season then I can understand why it may have happened, although Lennon's statements are at odds with this. In my view he has to be worth at least what we previously turned down even if that deal wasn't all it seemed. It just doesn't seem right to band about that we've turned down £1.8m and clubs wouldn't get his leg for that now and then sell him for £1m (if true), it doesn't sit well with the fans and is not great PR. We may never know!

i dont disagree with most of what you have said. my point is the majority of his goals have been in the championship. i'd love us to get more but he's unproven in our top league. if this was a falkirk player would you value him at £2m?

[madhatter]

I agree, I think he has clear weaknesses in his game - physical presence being one of them (can get bullied in games) and general hold-up play. However, I think his confidence might work for him and let's be honest he'll score goals there if given the chance in a decent team. So I hope he stays down there and develops.

I'm just worried that we are seeing a bit of the old Hibs again - sell our players and quite rapidly shoot ourselves in the foot as we try to get adequate/superior replacements. Is McGinn going to be next and how much should we expect for him £2m or less?

[Captain Trips]

I judge players on ability as have NF, plenty of players from English league 1 and even 2 have been signed for big fees without having scored a goal at that level.

They are signed on what they are going to do, just unfortunate that clubs here do not have tbe financial clout to pay higher wages to players and to knock back offers.

The price is simply of where he played and what we can realistically do with offers fir players. JC is as good a player upfront than loads.

i really wish him well and hope he is a success but honestly feel he will struggle.

I Think and and hope with McGinn that we can get at least 2 million seeing as he now a full international. Reckon he will stay another year with us or at least til January.

[lochhibs]

You probably would if you'd already turned down £1.8m and he is now on a longer contract, no? The devil is in the detail though and that's what we all don't know :hmmm:

I agree but Rangers got 850,000+ for Lewis Macleod who did the square root of nothing in the same league and lower so...I'm not sure why Hibs who have a 21 year old goal scorer who has consistently scored 20 goals a season would expect the same or less. In my opinion Cummings is worth £2m and I think selling him for £1m will prove to be a big mistake.

I fear we will struggle to replace him given what we are selling him for.

[Real Emerald]

the £1.8m could have been 500k up front and the rest in add ons. no one knows the details of the offer.

We don't but that's the price quoted and also the amount banded about by Lennon as 'farcical' (my take on his quotes). Why would the manager make these statements if he knew there's a £1m release clause (if there is one)? If there isn't a release clause, why would you sell to the first offer of the window which is less than the manager, papers and general assumption of the offer that was previously turned down? None of it makes much sense :confused:

[SMAXXA]

If we turned down 1.8 from Peterborough last year why would we accept less now? 🤷🏼*♂️

[brog]

He was looking good for Brentford but got seriously injured.

He didn't play for Brentford for 1st 15 months after his transfer so not sure when he was looking good. Over inflated fee psid because he was a Sevco player. I guarantee Barrie McKay will be sold for more than JC & imo JC has far more potential.

[southern hibby]

Nonsense. What about that boy from the huns that went down south and had only played a few 2nd or 3rd or whatever division games for them? Did he not go for more than a million? Cummings is worth more than a million.

I think Hibs will be trying to get the figure lowered in the media so that when we go to other teams for players we don't get fleeced as other teams will think, Hibs got this amount for JC so we will try and hold out for top whack.

GGTTH

[mjhibby]

I remember Alex miller saying that when buying/selling players the selling club would include everything in the deal ie future appearances caps etc and the buying club would give the basic fee each team trying to say they got a great deal. I suspect hibs are receiving close to amillion up front and the final fee will be around £1.5m. The previous bid of £1.7 was in fact about half that with loads of add ons. If we get a million up front then that makes it much easier to get the targets were after.

[jeffers]

If we turned down 1.8 from Peterborough last year why would we accept less now? ����*♂️

Not only that, why are we accepting the first offer that came in for him (this summer) ?

[HibeeMassive]

If we turned down 1.8 from Peterborough last year why would we accept less now? 🤷🏼*♂️

While I tend to agree... I can also see the logic of accepting, for example, 1.3 million now.

His goals last year were worth more than 0.5 million to us last season - without them would we have been promoted? We had a proven scorer at that level and kept him for the big push to get back up, maybe that was the price the club were willing to "pay" to keep him for another year.

[IanM]

If we turned down 1.8 from Peterborough last year why would we accept less now? 🤷🏼*♂️

According to Kenny Millar that 1.8 was based on a payment plan, appearances, promotion etc. so wasn't 1.8 up front.

[J-C]

Far too many people on here getting their knickers in a twist and not knowing just how things work re football.

Any £1.8m offer last season was rejected because it was made up of multiple add ons which didn't guarantee the £1.8m, plus we were fighting for promotion and Jason's goals were more important at that time.

Jason wanted to move last summer but Lennon and LD talked him into staying for another promotion push, he signs a 4 year deal but adds a buy out clause of around £1m, I know this as hi dad told me it's in the contract. Basically we keep our 20 goal a season to get promoted and we get £1m this summer for him.

Forest know of the clause and Warburton knows the player, it could easily have been another club but it makes no odds as he's away any for £1m, I wouldn't be surprised if there's a sell on percentage of 15-20%, which makes £1m more sense.

Some on here want £1.5+ for a striker who is still raw and only played in the Scottish Championship but are happy to only spend £500K on Boyce 20+24 goals in the last 2 seasons in the SPL or Moult who has scored 18 in each of his 2 seasons up here in the SPL, talk about wanting your cake and eating it.

Time to be realistic and stop bloody moaning, we got the lad for nothing and he's given us 3 solid years helping us back up, it's a win win for both parties.

[Elephant Stone]

If we keep him he'll score about 20 goals for us next season, his value next summer will not be less than £1m. There is absolutely no point in selling him this summer for around £1m unless we've put into his contract that we have to.

Some on here want £1.5+ for a striker who is still raw and only played in the Scottish Championship but are happy to only spend £500K on Boyce 20+24 goals in the last 2 seasons in the SPL or Moult who has scored 18 in each of his 2 seasons up here in the SPL, talk about wanting your cake and eating it.

Time to be realistic and stop bloody moaning, we got the lad for nothing and he's given us 3 solid years helping us back up, it's a win win for both parties.

I just hope WE have got a sell on fee as part of the deal.

Far too many people on here getting their knickers in a twist and not knowing just how things work re football.

Any £1.8m offer last season was rejected because it was made up of multiple add ons which didn't guarantee the £1.8m, plus we were fighting for promotion and Jason's goals were more important at that time.

Jason wanted to move last summer but Lennon and LD talked him into staying for another promotion push, he signs a 4 year deal but adds a buy out clause of around £1m, I know this as hi dad told me it's in the contract.

Would you be kind enough to take a couple of minutes to explain to us less knowledgable on how it works when a player is still well within contract, our talisman and us not needing to sell unless the offer is too good to do so?

To be fair to J-C he has stated more than once that there was a buy out clause having been told so by Jason Cummings' dad. If that is the case then I have no issue with that and it explains why he is leaving for the reported price of £1 million and why it is for the first offer that has been made for him.

Just when other posters and Kenny Millar state there was no buy out clause it's natural folk are questioning how great a deal it is for us.

[KWJ]

If the player has indicated that he'd like to be aware of bids and talk to other clubs then not doing so could create not only an angry JC but an angry dressing room. Especially if this was agreed upon prior to signing said new contract and it's somewhat impossible if that new contract includes a minimum release fee that has been met as per the quoted posters easily believable understanding.

The truth is though that outwith those closely involved with it, nobody actually knows what the final deal is.

[KWJ]

Why do we need to sell him, keep him for another year and he will be worth more surely?

1) If there's a buyout clause that's been met.
2) If the player has indicated that he'd like to talk to the club.
3) If it has been previously agreed that the club wouldn't stand in his way should a bid come in around this region.
4) The club aren't certain that his value will continue to rise.
5) The club have replacements in mind.
6) The club would rather sell now than potentially begin the season with an unhappy player who is going to be sold in the next couple of windows anyway.
7) Maintain a buzz in the dressing room and show young players that they too can move to England and make decent money.

I hope he stays but there are plenty of reasons to sell.

[Geo_1875]

I'll be gutted if Jason leaves at any price. Anything at £1m or more will be some consolation and should help us improve the squad.

What does surprise me is that Jason is signing for the first club to show an interest this summer. I'm sure there would be bigger, better clubs after him and they wouldn't have a manager who is a fanny. Although Warburton isn't the only fanny managing down south.

[jeffers]

You're correct actually, hold my hands up. I must have jumped on the patronising tone straight away without reading right to the end and noticing the 'buy-out" clause part. (Oops)

I'd be surprised if we ever find out the actual figure and I don't expect the club to ever reveal it. Personally if they did come out and say there was one once the deal is concluded I imagine most fans would accept it. He could have left in the summer, his goals contributed massively to us being promoted and ultimately we have received a decent fee for him.

I'm not sure about number 7. Selling our best players in order to encourage others to want a move away?! They all know that if good enough and the offer is right, they'll get their chance elsewhere. No need for selling to create a 'buzz'. Having him around the club is a buzz in itself.

I was never told how much the buy out was but I mentioned to him £2m+ that everyone on here was talking about what we thought he was worth, he laughed and said it was nowhere near that figure.

I disagree. He stands as an example of what can be achieved if you work hard and continue improving. It's a pity the likes of Ross Caldwell and Kurtis Byrne didn't have a role model like Jason.

I just love that everyone want £2m for a championship striker but only want to spend £500k on Boyce who has scored 20 goals the past 2 seasons in the SPL, are Ross C not entitled to megabucks for their striker too?

Exactly, and Kenny Millar has said there is no buy out clause for Cummings.

The club will probably have had a gentlemen's agreement, but with Kenny saying this and Lennon saying Cummings is a superstar and his left leg is worth more than £1.8m i don't think there is a buy out clause.

[J-C]

I see no relevance in him being a championship striker. A club at a higher level want him to play at that higher level as they must believe he is capable.

Teams from down south think the league up here isn't great that doesn't mean there are not some great players who are more than able to play in say English Championship. Due to status of our league lots of clubs are likely to not be looking up here as much as we might like and I am sure there are many players who never get that chance but where likely capable.

I think a club in that league whom are looking at promotion as thats what Forest should be then under £2m for a striker is on the cheap side. We just cannot pay the wages up here to make moves to England harder for players.

In isolation JC is an excellent striker and IMO worth well more than £2m.

[J-C]

Whether it's a clause or a gentleman's agreement it's still the same thing in the end. Did his dad get confused and call it a buy out clause instead of an agreement, I don't know but we've been mates for 22 years and he wouldn't BS. For what it's worth he told me last year Jason was signing a new deal and it was his agent holding things up, that turned out to be true.

[blackpoolhibs]

And there you have it in a nutshell, I'm sure the Ross C fans feel he's worth more than that, just like Hibs fans and JC.

It really makes no difference JC, what Ross County fans think he's worth. If there is a 500k buy out clause, that's what they will sell him at even if there are 5 clubs in for him.

We have not heard a peep from Hibs about any buy out clause, and one of the papers has said there is in fact no buy out clause.

I wish we'd had had another club come in for him to see if there was a bidding war going on, or indeed not?

[jeffers]

And there you have it in a nutshell, I'm sure the Ross C fans feel he's worth more than that, just like Hibs fans and JC.

The difference is the buy out clause for Boyce has been generally reported and I've not read anywhere that it's not true. I have no reason to disbelieve you when you say his dad told you JC had one, however a generally reliable reporter like Kenny Millar is saying there isn't one.

I haven't seen enough of Boyce to comment on his true worth, I have however seen a lot of Jason Cummings and imo he is worth more than £1m.

I agree 're his value but the fact is he's off south at the 1st club to offer whatever agreement was made between Hibs and JC, with no other club being mentioned or even making higher bids makes me think whatever price was agreed has been met.

That's the problem though isn't it. Are we going to replace Jason, and I don't just mean bring in a new player, with £1m?

I think Lennon has a good eye for a player but we're losing a guaranteed 20 goal a season striker and I don't see us bringing in a player of the same quality unless we shell out big time and potentially break our wage structure.

This has happened so often with our 'golden generation' where we bank a wedge of cash but then can't spend it effectively.

I'm hopeful that won't happen this year but I also don't think we'll sign a striker as good as Jason.

[Sioux]

There's so much chat about JC being worth £X and £Y and £Z.

A different slant;

Is it not relevant that the only interested club is NF, who just happen to be managed by that hun. That hun will be well aware of his ability for obvious reasons. There are very few other English clubs who will have such an 'in house' knowledge of the player and perhaps not seeing £1m as a good deal for them.

If there is a £1m buy out clause, and people think JC is a £2m player, why are clubs not queuing up to buy him? Does that not suggest that other clubs do not even rate JC as high as £1m? After all, an item is only worth the amount that someone is prepared to pay at any give time.

If someone offered me a £30k Merc for £15k, I'd better be quick before others get in on the deal, no? We don't see this type of scenario in regard to JC.

[Dan Sarf]

He didn't play for Brentford for 1st 15 months after his transfer so not sure when he was looking good. Over inflated fee psid because he was a Sevco player. I guarantee Barrie McKay will be sold for more than JC & imo JC has far more potential.


He was looking good when he came back from that injury. Then he got crocked again.

[matty_f]

I guess nobody knows if there is a buy-out clause, if there was I reckon it would be close to £1.5-2m. Hibs haven't been in a position where we need to sell for some considerable years now, so we wouldn't just punt him on the cheap.

Bit harsh, especially considering we don't know any of the additional details of the contract (if it is in fact 5k a week basic). It's his second step on his path to greater things, and I don't think 250k a year is too bad for a 21 year old lad.

My mate told me his pal was talking to an Easter Road insider and they were told Cumdog is definitely away however, SJM is staying.
I can guarantee 100% that the bold part is true. :cb

24 pages and is there any truth in this rumour at all.

Not wanting to go through all 24 pages, I would have thought that we'd have a quote from someone at Hibernian or Forest to confirm this or not.

Or is it because everyone is on holiday?

Got told this morning that Ipswich are interested in Cummings. Was from a work mate who's never really had any gossip before so don't know how reliable the info is

[iwasthere1972]

I can confirm that I know absolutely Jack **** about whether Jason is signing for Forest, what the fee is, sell on clause if any and what Wonga he will be on if a transfer eventually materialises.

From a reliable source too......myself.

[SouthsideHarp_Bhoy]

I couldnt care less where he goes, but if he is going i wish he would hurry up about it amd we can all move on, and wish him all the best with the rest of his career.

Ipswich or Notts Forest...no a great choice.

[surreyhibbie]

Made me think of "multi coloured swap shop". For those of a certain age ...I'd like to swap James Collins for anything to do with Inter Milan". [emoji23][emoji23]

yeah, a scarf...

Yer source is a havering eejit though :wink::greengrin

Nottingham is a funny place, I never felt safe there..loads of nutters. On the plus side, I don't know if Jason is single but it got the highest female to male population in the UK.
Ipswich is just boring, but I've only been there twice.

😊

Had them as a subbuteo team, would keep hold of the subbuteo team if anyone phoned Noel offering me James Collins in exchange.

We had an old caravan in the garden for a while, I'd have swapped that if anyone was interested. Similar mobility and goalscoring record in Scottish football.

Know both well. I'd go to Norwich.

Absolutely. :agree:

When I have no knowledge of anything else that's happening or not happening on the transfer front then I'll be back to share it with everybody. :aok:

I don't think much of the pedestrianisation of the city centre though.

[ancient hibee]

I have been told by a guy who never gets anything right that there has been no approach from Forest and that Cumming has not been there for a medical.

Has anybody heard anything about him failing his medical?

If Jason needs a place to stay in the interim, I know a fantastic travel tavern that's located equidistant between London & Norwich. That's its genius in fact.

Agree absolutely arsed it up for Rover executive saloon drivers, even the ones with faux leather driving gloves with the string bits on the back.

Only on Hibs Net could Ipswich suddenly transform into Norwich! Fact! ☺

And if he ends up signing for Dundee on loan he can just drive up barefoot eating a toblerone

Norwich were actually rumoured to be interested in Jason back in January.

It's been like 5 days since the story about Forest came out. What's the rush?

Hibs will announce something if/when there is something to announce.

Has the deal stalled is it going through

Negotiations on £1m+ deals take time.

No, STF does not get 50% of transfer .

Good news everyone, looks like our Cummings replacement is on his way, a bit too similar to Boyle for my liking so not sure how Lennon will get them both playing in the same team? :confused:
