I was just thinking about the players from our cup winning team and those who have moved on. Some I am not too bothered about (Fyvie, Stokes) and others I miss (Hendo, SJM and Jason Cummings)
I think that Hendo and SJM have moved on to really interesting challenges, but what about the Cumdog? Did he drink from the poisoned chalice? Is he now destined to head the way of some of our other talented players of the past :hmmm: (Deek, Gaz)
What are your thoughts? Is there a way back into the spotlight for Cummings, or is it now a steady downward slope in what could have been a good career, or... is it still too soon to tell. After all what is he 22-23?

Already played at the highest level he can, as he's really not that good a footballer - no-where near Riordan's talent :tin hat:

I lost track of Jason after his "Hun" sojourn.
Who is he now playing for and is he a starter?

Don’t think he would start ahead of Kamberi or MacLaren tbh.

Hope he does well at Peterborough none the less.

Still love the guy, gave us some great memories. I do however think he'll be back up the road over the next couple of years and it'll probably be to a Dundee or Motherwell as I think we're probably a level above him now.

Really? He’s credited with an assist last weekend via SPN? I see it live on the telly. Well the commentery. But a Posh fan knowing nothing about football is not suprising if you’ve ever listened to TalkSport.

The guy scored goals for fun even though he was not the best team player. I hope he gets his career going again as he’s at his third club since he left Hibs and really needs to start performing or he’ll end up like Tony Watt drifting from club to club showing a little but never returning to the standard that made him.

Cummings was always going to struggle.

He can only play in a front 2 and no clubs that play at a high level play that way.

He has a fantastic left foot and is a cracking finisher but until he learns to hold the ball up and use his right foot, he’s destined to play out his career outside the big leagues and the top clubs

Jason is a strange one. He’s not one for taking football to seriously and sometimes that’s not a bad thing. But at 22 he really should be kicking on now. His ability to score some outrageous goals proves he can do it. Although talent wise I’m not sure he has much. Likes to cut in edge of the box and let fly.

Still feel he’ll end up back in Scotland with a Killie or St. Johnstone.

Nameless
10-08-2018, 06:48 AM
He is a maverick, and clearly knows the way to goal. Everywhere he has been he has scored, so his ability as a finisher is beyond question. Unfortunately, nobody wants an out and out finisher these days - the era of the poacher has passed. He would have flourished had he played in the 80's and 90's, but he doesn't play enough "football" for him to succeed at the higher levels of the modern game. I think League One in England or a mid table team in the Scottish Prem is his future, which ain't bad, as he will still earn more money than practically everyone on this message board.

Maybe the assist was what he meant.

Take a wee look at posh forum as well.

Incidentally you'll find no bigger fan of Jason than me but I'm concerned the trajectory he's on might see him spiral downwards further towards gorgie. Posh isn't a step up.

I actually think he’s gonna have to drop down further if Peterborough is a failure. Lower SPL (wages, not position, or Hearts would be perfect) or top Championship.

We've moved on. He was a very good Championship player but our current ambitions are higher.

Wish the boy well, though.

Generally speaking, with few exceptions, I am not in favour of taking back players who have chosen to leave but who seem to think that there will always be a place for them at ER should things not work out elsewhere.

J-C
10-08-2018, 08:49 AM
He was a championship striker and unproven in the SPL, apart from his goals he doesn't really offer anything else. suffers from over confidence in his own ability and was quick to scoot off to England after putting in a buy out clause in his contract extension, money was his main priority. Quickly sussed out at Nottingham and now playing in League 1 akin to our championship, enough said.

GRA
10-08-2018, 10:48 AM
Did well for us and recall him scoring some screamers in big games v Aberdeen, Huns and had the handy knack of regularly scoring against the Jambos. But never proved himself at SPL level (two goals for the Huns in 6 months backs that up). Wish him well but can't see him getting back to his 2015-17 goalscoring form anytime soon.

Playing regularly in League One down South would be a good grounding to rebuild his career. Even though a million pounds or whatever he went for is still a big deal up here, it is just a low risk punt for most teams in the Championship. It is up to him to pull it around though.

Left us too soon.

He improved year on year at Hibs. Some players reach a point at which that progression starts to 'stagnate', Steven Fletcher may be an example, and they need a new challenge. I'm not convinced Cummings had reached that point. As talented a goalscorer as he was I think there was plenty room for improvement across his game and that hasn't happened on the bench at Forest or making the same mistakes in a poor Rangers team.

He may well kick on by playing regularly at Peterborough and step up again, he might end up back at the like of Hearts or Aberdeen or he might be on a downward slide. No one really knows. I don't think we have massively missed him tbh, we seem to generate goals from across the board now whereas with JC it seemed to be we had one focal point.

weecounty hibby
10-08-2018, 02:24 PM
Motherwell, St J, Killie, Dundee will be his level in future imo. Don't think he'll sign for hearts while Levein is manager as he isn't tall enough nor works hard enough. Don't think McIness would take him at Aberdeen either. Wouldn't get in before Flo, Jamie or Oli at Hibs at the moment. Should have stayed at Hibs, improved his all round game and then looked to see what his prospects were

SingaporeHibs
10-08-2018, 02:47 PM
He could read a game and be in the right place at the right time which is a talent in itself. Same could be said for his career, was at the right place at the right time, we were at an all time Low when he got his opportunity with us and that was the only reason he is where he got to. Once Stubbs got the team together goals were laid on a plate for him and he still missed too many in the Championship. (To be fair he scored a few crackers as well).
If he was still a young kid now trying to break through at our club he wouldn’t be anywhere near the starting 11. I fear his best days are already behind him. He’ll be back in Scotland before long and struggling to hold down a starting position in the bottom 6 at best. More likely in the Championship.

He does have an instinct for scoring goals, which is a valuable commodity.

Agree with this. Just like SJM did. Benefitted and then got a good move as a regular whereas jc went as a speculative punt.

Wish him all the best unless he plays against us. 6 months at the huns or three years (and a wedge of goals) with us and a Scottish Cup winners medal? I know which I'll remember him for

Yes of course he is. And he definitely deserves more gratitude than he gets on here. I remember being at tynecastle for that cup game when he scored the goal that got us back in the game. I knew at that time we’d get another one. If it wasn’t for Jason Cummings(and the rest of the squad) we wouldn’t have had the greatest day of our lives. Legend.

That generated a bit of discussion, thanks for answering my question. Sounds like we agree for the most part that although he left too soon for the money, we have moved on and no longer could really benefit from his services. I like his goofy character. We need a bit of that in the game and so I hope he comes back up the road, like many of you think, to a lower SPL team.

Not at all, I was at the Villa v Brentford game and I would be confident of beating both, I also recently saw us take 4 off Shrewsbury and they were league 1. Our top 5 teams are a lot better than some people make out. Our middle table teams are also better than average and better than most league 1 teams. The only teams I think would struggle are St Mirren, Hamilton, Livingston and Dundee, having said that there are teams in our championship that would survive comfortably in league 1. All imho of course.

Yes it's League One but there's people on here telling us that Cummings would be back to Scotland soon enough and to lower half Premier team or our Championship. What with all the £1m strikers kicking about in these teams:rolleyes:

Imagine someone ploughed Man City money into one of the Glasgow clubs. Can't stand them but i reckon only Man United are bigger than those two, Liverpool maybe on a par. They'd be winning things down south pretty quickly. Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen would find their way to the Pemier league eventually. Far bigger clubs than the likes of Burnley, Bournemouth and Huddersfield.

So are Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Sunderland. Yet they're not in the top division down south.

I'd say the top half of the Championship and the occasional couple of seasons in the top flight would be realistic of us, Aberdeen and Hearts unless serious money is injected.

Hate to say it BUT IF Rangers and Celtic played in the EPL and had the money that comes with it they'd be top 8 at least and pushing for Europe. On the same note, give Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen the money that comes with playing EPL football and we'd all compete.

So are Leeds, Nottingham Forest, Middlesbrough, Aston Villa and Sunderland. Yet they're not in the top division down south.

I'd say the top half of the Championship and the occasional couple of seasons in the top flight would be realistic of us, Aberdeen and Hearts unless serious money is injected.

Serious money would be injected the second we got into the premiership.

Jason Cummings is and in my opinion never will be good enough for an EPL team, even if they are bottom of the league.


IMO
Old Firm would be Newcastle in EPL
Hibs, Hearts & Aberdeen would be Championship
Kilmarnock, Motherwell, Dundee & St Johnstone would be EL1
St Mirren, Livingston & Hamilton would be EL2

2 goals & 2 assists for cumdog today

Hate to say it BUT IF Rangers and Celtic played in the EPL and had the money that comes with it they'd be top 8 at least and pushing for Europe. On the same note, give Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen the money that comes with playing EPL football and we'd all compete. No way anyone can tell me Bournemouth, Brighton, Huddersfield, Watford, Burnley etc...are bigger than us.

Why? What makes you think they could attract the worlds best players to Glasgow as oppose to London or say Manchester? Its just subjective opinion certainly not fact, IMO I thnk you would find Celtic and rangers would struggle to attract the very best of talent required to compete in the top 8 of the EPL. Do you think Celtic and Rangers "massiveness" is carried much beyond these shores? I think not.

God I hate to stand up for the Old Firm but I need to disagree. Just look at some of the players Rangers and Celtic used to sign. We were still a "lesser league", still regularly pumped out of Europe and England was still the big fish however these big names went to them. They're well known, their in a good city (easily equal to Manchester, etc. Anywhere outside of London to be honest) and they have fanatical fans who create an atmosphere compared to some clubs down south.

I don't know where they finish, there's lots of clubs n England who get a share of the wealth and still perform poorly, but players would come to both if they were in EPL before they'd go to many of the clubs in the current league.

The reply thingy seems to have gone a bit wonky on this thread. That quote was from the guy I was replying to not form me.

Its subjective because Celtic and Rangers will never play in the SPL but we can agree to disagree on how successful they would be and how they would or wouldnt attract the top players in order to compete. The poster that likened them to Newcastle and Hbs/Hearts and Aberdeen to Championship clubs called it about right for me. Virtually every club in the Championship and there are some big clubs there feel that their club should be in the top flight. Like I said its all subjective anyway.

Would they struggle though??? As someone who has lived and worked abroad I hate to say it but on a global scale both clubs are massive. Look, even take both clubs out of the equation. Hibs and Burnley/Huddersfield/Southampton/Leicester/Wolves are all in the EPL and after the same player. We/they all offer that player £40k a week and the chance to play in the premier league. Who would you sign for??? I'd rather live in Edinburgh picking up £40k a week playing in the premier league than Burnley or Huddersfield. Or....lets look at SJM. IF Hibs played in the EPL and could offer him £20k/£30k a week do we really think he'd leave to play in the championship? I don't.

We all know that promotion to the premier league in England is worth £180m ish (we get told this every season when the championship playoff final comes around) this, along with a great manger, allows a team like Bournemouth to compete in the EPL, despite being a small team (sub 12k seater stadium) but what do you get money wise when securing promotion from league 1 to championship?

I’m sure I read that the championship is the 5th richest league in Europe, that is crazy!

Imagine giving hibs, hearts or Aberdeen that level of financial resources?

I hate to say but the old firm clubs would be huge given premier league money - massive global and domestic fan base and after a few seasons in the epl, living in Glasgow (Scotland) would a huge draw to potential players

I wish Jason Cummings all the best.
He was good for HIBS and HIBS were good for him.
He was part of the team that got relegated and vowed he would stay until we got promotion back to the SPFL.
We received good money for him.
He will forever be a Scottish Cup winning legend.
Every football team needs a character a joker in the dressing room to keep morale up and he was certainly that.
What I have seen of Jase lately I believe he has added to his game his work rate outside the box and his hold up play has improved highlighted by his recent run of goals and number of assists.
I don’t know what it is but I do not feel the love from him like I do from Fontaine Hanlon or MacGregor.
I suspect he still has a soft spot for the jambos or dare I say it the Huns.
I think it unlikely we will see him back at ER.

The owners of Rangers and Celtic might use the money generated in the EPL to fund footballing success rather than line the owners own pockets would be the primary factor.

Newcastles record transfer fee is, in these days of mega money, just £16M and that has stood for 12 years.

This might be the move he should have made to begin with or perhaps had a worked out plan with an EPL club to go out on loan for a few seasons to continue his development. Kevin McDonald at Fulham is decent comparison.

Guys like Fontaine, Hanlon and Daz are a good bit longer in the tooth than Cummings so will have a very different perspective on their experiences at the club.

When Jason signed a few weeks back I warned all my Posh mates that he can be a lazy player who doesn't add much when not scoring goals. I look at bit foolish now though as reports suggest that he's really upped his all round game since moving down south. And he plays in a two up top alongside Matty Godden who we signed from the mighty Stevenage in the summer.

Local reporter (my uncle) rates him highly here:

Both sides of the OF (albeit one of them died) have much richer histories than Newcastle, and fans and supporters clubs around the world as a result.

If Newcastle do ever win something, they will win new supporters in the way Leicester did - casual fans who are essentially glory hunters. They are not the types who a club can depend on.

Equally - and as said elsewhere - give Hibs a place in the EPL and £150m and we could definitely compete. Of course we could. We also have a much richer history than many of the clubs in The Worlds Greatest League TM.

I was just thinking about the players from our cup winning team and those who have moved on. Some I am not too bothered about (Fyvie, Stokes) and others I miss (Hendo, SJM and Jason Cummings)
I think that Hendo and SJM have moved on to really interesting challenges, but what about the Cumdog? Did he drink from the poisoned chalice? Is he now destined to head the way of some of our other talented players of the past :hmmm: (Deek, Gaz)
What are your thoughts? Is there a way back into the spotlight for Cummings, or is it now a steady downward slope in what could have been a good career, or... is it still too soon to tell. After all what is he 22-23?

Will always be a legend as part of the cup winning team, never mind his exploits against the mob over the city. If he applies himself I'm sure he'll make it to a decent standard because one things for sure, the laddie can score goals.

I have witnessed some seriously hard bruising encounters between the two clubs where no quarter was given or asked for over the years at Easter Road. There was no love lost between the clubs.
Yes he is a Scottish Cup winning legend and he has my best wishes as long as he does not play against us in the not too distant future -reading that article I do not think he will be returning to Easter Road anytime soon.Perhaps when he is old and grey- just like me- he will reflect on his time at Hibernian FC as being one of the highlights and best times of his career and realise that he was loved for being the loveable rogue and cheeky wee laddie that he undoubtedly is and we all knew him to be and that he can be proud of the fact that he was part of the team that ended 114 years of hurt.

Cup winning hero he maybe but never in my fifty years of supporting HIBS have I come across a former player that loves and wants to play for the Huns so much!
Maybe even the diet huns -who knows?
In my experience the opposite was always the case. Players like Eddie Turnbull Gordon Smith Alex Edwards George Stewart Pat Stanton and Jimmy ORourke loved playing against and beating The Rangers it was part of what being a Hibby was all aboot!
I have witnessed some seriously hard bruising encounters between the two clubs where no quarter was given or asked for over the years at Easter Road. There was no love lost between the clubs.
Yes he is a Scottish Cup winning legend and he has my best wishes as long as he does not play against us in the not too distant future -reading that article I do not think he will be returning to Easter Road anytime soon.Perhaps when he is old and grey- just like me- he will reflect on his time at Hibernian FC as being one of the highlights and best times of his career and realise that he was loved for being the loveable rogue and cheeky wee laddie that he undoubtedly is and we all knew him to be and that he can be proud of the fact that he was part of the team that ended 114 years of hurt.

Winning the Scottish cup with Hibs will be the highlight of his career. He will realise that one day.

surprised he was able to speak for the interview as his tounge is so far up the huns bum.

what an utterly boak inducing article. nothing of any substance and nothing more than a hun love in by any means necessary.

He's been paid by the DR to give an interview that DR readers will want to read, nothing more, nothing less.

Craig Paterson.
Heard it singing in my ears as I was typing “What’s it like to be a Hun? “����

To think his old man was the great John Paterson but I suppose looking back if you had a young family and a big mortgage back in the eighties at 16 % interest you would probably do the same.
