[Hibernian32]

Lee Mcgregor calling hearts out to sign him saying he would go back if approached.

[Heisenberg]

Absolutely no doubt about it.

[Pretty Boy]

If it wasn't costing us much then absolutely.

He's not without his faults but he scored goals for us.

[AgentDaleCooper]

he should come back and become our answer to Robbo.

[SChibs]

No

[vercol36]

Should we bring back Cumdog, the Hammer of the Hearts, our Scottish Cup winning legend? I think the answer is an easy one.

[Jim44]

I voted yes but is this just an academic exercise or is there a realistic chance that PH would consider him and that he himself would turn the clock back? :dunno:

[Last Minute]

He is begging to come back to Scotland and play regular football. He is fed up living out of hotel rooms . Gods sake Hibs bring the lad back .

THIS. The personality, the skill and the ability to finish very very well.

[Lester B]

Is there another club in the world that pines for ex players to come back as much as some of us do??

[Bleeds green]

100 percent yes

Is he also sick of getting £10k a week?
If his agent can strike a deal with his club i'm sure Hibs would welcome him back on a £3k a week deal if he was a free transfer.

If not............laters

His begging will start when the Forest money stops.

[007]

Do I want him back? - yes
Will we get him back? - no
Does he want to come back? - mibbies

[Brummie_Hibs]

FFS, this is like bloody flogging a dead horse.

[CMurdoch]

Should Hibs bring back Jason Cummings


1. Yes


2. No

A heavily loaded question.
Embarrassing

What about
Should we bring Aguero to Hibs
Option 1 - Yes please we need a goalscorer
Option 2 - No

They're good mates so it's probably correct. If Jason would go to Hearts I'm not sure I want him back at ER.

[vercol36]

I think it happens at every club with limited budget

I know for a fact he is a free transfer. But hey ho let’s stick with the 250K Natural striker Doidge . It’s not like we need a goal scorer.

Hell yeah.

[The 90+2]

Jason being dingied by hearts twice would make him doubly determined to get it up them.

[Leitherhibs]

Should we? Yes.
Will we? Absolutely not.

[shetlandhibee]

:agree: no brainer yes,, and if he did IMO he,d be our top scorer this season...

[jeffers]

Can’t vote on my phone but 100% yes. A character who offers us something different up front from our other strikers but as I’ve posted before would need a rethink on the part of Heckingbottom regarding his preference for one up front.

[Since452]

No for me. Didn't really set the heather alight in his last season in the Championship. Think he'd struggle at a higher level.

[lyonhibs]

As much as I find this "just re-sign players who've already played for us" route generally dull and uninspiring, and also allowing for the fact he's never actually scored for us in a regular top flight leave game, I'd take him back if the sums were right.

Purely hypothetical as I can't see it happening.

[EI255]

No.

Would still have him back though if we got in first

[CraigHibee]

No brainer imo

[DetroitHibs]

He’s an improvement on Shaw, so for that reason yes. I think he’d link up with Doidge better than Flo.

[Since90+2]

He's good mates with Lee McGregor who's said on twitter he would go back to them. I see no reason he'd make that up.

If he would be prepared to go to Hearts then it's a no from me. I'm aware I might be in the minority with that.

[California-Hibs]

No brainer.

[Allant1981]

If the manager wants to stick with 1 up front then there is absolutely no danger cummings will be back at hibs, he scored plenty at a lower level but remains to be seen if he can do it at premier league level. Maybe as a 3rd choice forward yes but we need someone to come in who is better than doidge and kamberi

you could probably buy sane. buy you'd have to pay him. about 10 times a season ticket.

225,000,000 wouldn't be enough to buy city's back 4 and keeper. sickening.

You said Cummings has scored plenty at lower league level but remains to be seen if he can do it at a higher level , So what level has Doidge been banging them in then ?..What makes you so sure Doidge will score at a higher level ?

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Hearts are in for him and talks have taken place according to yams at work

[Allant1981]

Yip he has scored them at lower level also, i didnt say otherwise, i also haven't said doidge will score up here, i personally like doidge but dont think he will score a lot of goals.

[we are hibs]

Not for me. I think it came to an end at the right time for both parties in 2017.

[HibbyAndy]

Fair enough mate , Only just replying to you saying we need someone to come in who is better than Doidge and IMO JC would get far more goals in the SPL than CD

I dont think we will even try to sign him..ive always had that feeling he'd end up at hearts... they would sign him just to spite us

[HibbyAndy]

I dont think we will even try to sign him..ive always had that feeling he'd end up at hearts... they would sign him just to spite us


I agree , Keep hearing he's not a Levein player but that pr!ck would sign him just to piss hibs off , I could actually see JC at Hearts this season

[Togs91]

No for me. Didn't really set the heather alight in his last season in the Championship. Think he'd struggle at a higher level.

I don't think that is all to do with his ability. A player being comfortable in his new surroundings with new teammates in a new club etc? I had read he was not happy living down south which would be a factor i would guess. I'm not one for crawling back to the past, like taking back stubbs etc etc, but we know he performed at hibs, yes a bit of a loose cannon but probably what we need, and a different style of player to kamberi and doidge, with a desire to come back to scotland? Seems a win in my eyes

[GreenArmy1875]

He will end up at hearts and score loads against us

[cabbageandribs1875]

i bet Dr Budge would love him at tinycastle

[Keith_M]

We would have to fill the corners in to get the season ticket that cheap ��


15k tickets at £10k a time would give us a budget of £150,000,000 per annum.


Fair enough, we could maybe just about afford Cummings. :)

[WhileTheChief..]

Y
I dont think we will even try to sign him..ive always had that feeling he'd end up at hearts

Agree with this.

He’s too risky for us. We want safe and steady, no room for characters at ER these days.

[Last Minute]

Maybe not, but is there another club that has so many loan players every year that turn out to be good after we put them in the shop window? Scott Allan and Cummings are suited to Hibs and I promise you if another SPL club sign him he will haunt us that’s for sure.

Up front scoring goals?

If he had been scoring goals for the 4 clubs he has played for since he left us then I'd maybe agree but he has only scored about 15 goals since he left us(might be a couple out I think) so cant see how he will do any better back at us

[Golden Bear]

No thanks.

[RoYO!]

It’s up to the manager to get the best out of his players and manage egos if they can’t do that then they’re not worth their wage. JC needs managed but will score plenty given the chance.

I think if and when he signs for the Jambos, he would be more a thorn in the side of the Hibs support than a threat to our team itself.

Ok lets say he is available on a free.

In that scenario Notts Forest have lost all the money they spent on him.
For that to be the situation they will have been touting him (their asset) to clubs all over the World in a desperate attempt to get a return on their asset and nobody is interested in either buying him or taking on the obligation of his £10k a week contract OR they have found club(s) willing to take him but he doesn't want to go to these clubs.

So far?

At this point lets pretend Jason wants to come to Hibs and Leanne Dempster wants him:

Notts Forest - "Hi Jason, we don't want you anymore and nobody wants to give us any money for you. You can leave on a Free, Please please leave"
Jasons Agent - "Jason would like to go back to Hibs"
Notts Forest - "Super smashin' great, no problem"
Jasons Agent - "I presume you will pay his contract up in full"
Notts Forest - "Good one baw bag. That's no happenin' We've already lost our shirt on Jason"
Jasons Agent - "Hello Leanne, Jason would like to come back to Hibs. Would you pay him the same wages as Notts Forest for next season.
Leanne - "Stop there big boy, ah dae the jokes here. £2.5k a week for 3 years and we have a deal"
Jason's Agent - "Mr Notts Forest will you pay Jason £7.5k a week for the rest of his contract if he goes away"
Notts Forest - "Your starting to annoy me now! We will give Jason £2.5k per week for the rest of his contract"
Jason's Agent - "Ok Jason it is up to you. You can go to Hibs and will get £5k a week or you can piss about for another season at Forest and get £10k a week
Jason - 5 is isn't as big as 10 is it?
Jason's Agent - No Jason, but you will still have enough money for some new tattoo's and Leanne says you can play with Grado
Jason - Tattoo's and Grado, brilliant, hud me back

Later that day the deal is concluded after Hibs agree to let Jason throw a cheap auld TV through a (plastic) windae at Easter Road every time he scores a hat trick!

Hurrah!!!

[CLASS OF 72 -73]

Can't forget and do appreciate all he done for us but NO. Need to move on and he has shown his true colours since he left- Blue!

[stu in nottingham]

I think he's about as popular as herpes in Nottingham. No one even talks about him. He's burnt his bridges.

[04Sauzee]

Not sure why but I'm not to fussed in having him back, earlier in the summer I probably would have said yes but on reflection I just don't fancy it. As for him going to Hearts again it wouldn't upset me.

[bigwheel]

I’ve never heard Cummings suggest he would like to come back to us at anytime.....yet his mate is telling us that he’d love to go to Hearts..and he himself begged to get back to Rangers...

Not quite a Hibs love affair from his side that’s for sure ...

[Last Minute]

Cummings would score more goals than Doidge of that i'm a 100% sure


:agree: 100% spot on. he would score more that doidge or Kamberi

If the football we've seen do far this season is what "moving on" looks like then you can keep it.

We're not blessed with characters or scoring talent. We have functional players with bland personalities. A recipe for functional and bland football. No swagger.

Millerbottom's era indeed!

What makes you think he would score against us for fun, when he’s hardly set the heather on fire for clubs he has recently played for? By the way, I said I wouldn’t be against him having another go at ER, but if he went to them, fine.

It’s an absolute nap based on every single Edinburgh Derby I’ve ever sat through that Cummings would score in them 100% regardless of if it was us or them. Even more so them probably as he’s basically the only player we’ve ever had that’s got it up them “for fun” on a regular basis.

[Is It On....]

Yes Yes Yes...although my dad is No No No

[Is It On....]

he can be a bit of an arsonist at times

Setting fire to Hearts chances of beating us!! In my life time I have never seen a Hibs player score so regularly against them whilst winding them up at the same time. He also scored loads against others as well 🙂

[Diclonius]

In any case, our board seem to hate him so it's Hearts, St Johnstone or some League Two club. It's fine, having just two strikers with a career prior to Hibs and Oli Shaw has worked well for us before. :rolleyes:

Mad that folk are voting no!

[CMac1988]

Easy decision. Take him back in a heartbeat. He's better than Shaw and from what I've seen Doidge. Bringing in players that improve our squad if available and priced appropriately should be a no brainer. A bit of swagger around the place would do no harm either and as much as he plays the fool at times I'm sure it's something Hecky can manage.

[Stokesy's on fire]

Bring him home

[lord bunberry]

Bring the wee man home.

[mentalhibee]

Would love him back, he would be our best striker!

[Tricla]

If he had been scoring goals for the 4 clubs he has played for since he left us then I'd maybe agree but he has only scored about 15 goals since he left us(might be a couple out I think) so cant see how he will do any better back at us

He'll play more for a start. Think his goals to games ratio since he left is pretty good isn't it?

[Hibeesmad]

He would score goals

[Allant1981]

Have you thought about taking up sports writing professionally?

[Hi Heid Yin]

He was a fun character to have around and, yes, he did put a few past the Jambos, but his record since leaving us is relatively poor.
I also question his temperament, his hunger and his desire now that he's tasted big bucks.
Anything we offer him would be peanuts in comparison.
If he comes free then he's worth the risk I guess, but I'm not convinced he will be the 25 goals a season scorer we really need.
And of course I'd love to be proved wrong.

[Greencore]

Maybe like Allan, he only clicks with Hibs. I would take him back.

[ALF TUPPER]

Yes. Let's have him back. 👍

[Michael]

Not that bothered either way. Think he'd struggle to hit double figures in the Scottish Premiership, but he is quite a character.

[Gogs07]

Bring him back and he will score goals with crosses via Middleton or slide rule passes via Allan.
We need a poacher who will be on the end of both. :agree:

[Nicho87]

Manager should be demanding we sign him.

but he won’t be cause our squad is fine

[GreenArmyyy!]

You’d honestly need to be crazy not to want Jason back, guarantees goals against Hearts, Rangers and pretty much everyone else he takes on. Also has character which for the first time since Stubbs was appointing we are sorely lacking.

Get him him back up the road now.

[hibsboy69]

I'd love for the people who voted "No" to explain why they did so !



He was our top goal scorer for THREE seasons on the bounce
Regular scorer in big games
The Hammer of Hearts
By the time he left he was working harder and his hold up play was much better
He'll be a better player with the experience of playing for other clubs
He will have matured (not difficult to be fair!)


IT'S A NO BRAINER !

[we are hibs]

He hasnt matured.

[Hector Mudflap]

I have no doubt that he will sign for Hearts mainly because he knows they will love him, knows he will be the big focus , knows he will prove a point , knows he will get game time and knows it will stick it up all the doubters.

He will score goals and probably go on to be the next Robertson for them.
They create lots of chances and have no goal scorer poacher type player

We create more and have even less of a recognised poacher
We have Doige who in fairness is not as a bad (IMO) as some people think but he's no poacher.

I will be annoyed when he goes there and it annoys me even more that we have PH who won't give two hoots about it,
I get the feeling PH is stubborn and on his own road to Ultimate boring football Town.

Im already getting fed up with this situation. I go to almost every game , I have Hibs TV so I see even the games I miss from start to finish and we have been utter crapola since the end of last season

I can't believe people are seeing anything different.

Strikers need confidence and Cummings need to play and be adored by the fans.
He thrives on it.

We have no one like him and we desperately need him

[hibsboy69]

He hasnt matured.

Ok then I believe you...……….I'D STILL TAKE HIM THOUGH !

[Cabbage-Patch]

100%

Yes he's a bit a of a fanny but the boy knows how to score and has a great record in the big games.

Be a lift on the park and in the dressing room.

Bring him home.

[Col2]

Of he signs for Hearts then Hibs can GTF.

They are signing players with experience and from decent clubs.

We are pissing about with Doidge (never a striker) and Newell (no pace, not a winger, doesn't tackle, doesn’t create) and others that have hardly made a mark.

This would be the tipping point for me.

[Pretty Boy]

It's quite interesting that there is often a focus on what people fail to achieve or their failings elsewhere rather than any attempt to highlight the good they have done for Hibs.

It was evident before Allan came back for his 2nd spell; 'hasn't kicked a ball in months', 'can't even get in a pish Dundee side'. Funnily there was no such protestations in January given his performances when that 2nd spell did happen . It's all over the Stubbs thread; 'failed at Rotherham', 'finished behind Falkirk on goal difference' supercedes 'built a team from scratch and won the Scottish Cup' for some.

It seems Cummings is to receive the same treatment as well. No doubt his career has stalled and it could be argued he left us too early but given what he achieved here before, the list a few posts above is a decent summary, I'd be quite enthusiastic to see him back regardless of a couple of seasons in which things haven't really worked out for him.

[AZhibee]

Cummings and Kamberi sounds intriguing

[AZhibee]

I’ve never heard Cummings suggest he would like to come back to us at anytime.....yet his mate is telling us that he’d love to go to Hearts..and he himself begged to get back to Rangers...

Not quite a Hibs love affair from his side that’s for sure ...

Maybe but club isn’t marrying him, just gonna date him for a while, his ego says he will want to excel.

[CLASS OF 72 -73]

If the football we've seen do far this season is what "moving on" looks like then you can keep it.

We're not blessed with characters or scoring talent. We have functional players with bland personalities. A recipe for functional and bland football. No swagger.

Millerbottom's era indeed!


Get your point but Cummings not the answer.

[007]

Leeann and Heckingbottom are both on Twitter so we could bombard them with #announcecummings tweets, that should do the trick.

[makaveli1875]

I'd love for the people who voted "No" to explain why they did so !



He was our top goal scorer for THREE seasons on the bounce
Regular scorer in big games

Sign Cummings permanent and loan Shaw out to someone in this league, imagine there would be a couple of interested parties.

[CMurdoch]

Like every other purchase in life if Hibs decide they need and/or would like Cummings the main question is how much will he cost us

and based on the answer to that question

is he worth that price to us


None of us know how much a deal would cost the club so it is impossible to make a reasonable judgement on yes or no.

By the sounds of it it would be a free transfer. Can’t see him being in a position to command a large wage either.

[CMurdoch]

Transfer fee is not the issue nor his wages if he came to Hibs.

The elephant in the room is his £10k a week contract at Nottm Forest
Would you walk away leaving it all behind for £2.5k a week at Hibs?

The likelihood is that he will never get near to such a wage again in his life.
Hibs will still be about in January or next Summer

[Mixu62]

If it's seriously an option (and not just a Tam McManus twitter wind up) then absolutely yes, get him. If it is, and Hecky says no thanks as he allegedly did with McGeouch, and Cummings goes across town to THEM, just imagine how much pressure Hecky will be under if he scores the winner in the next derby. And the one after that. If we really have any chance of getting him back (and I'm still not convinced) can we afford to turn it down?

[lucky]

I’d take him just to stop him signing for them.

Good enough for me

[LancsHibs]

After Sunday it’s a big YES from me!

[Cataplana]

:agree: 100% spot on. he would score more that doidge or Kamberi

He has not scored many goals since he left us. I would have him back for derbies only, he had an amazing record against Hearts.

[500miles]

He's not proven as a consistent goalscorer at this level. Can he play up front alone or wider as part of a 3? Can we sacrafice a centre mid to play 2 up front?

Honestly, I don't know how he fits.

[calumhibee1]

Massive yes to Cummings.

[.Sean.]

I’ll genuinely be raging if he signs for Hearts considering it’s clear as day we’ll get him for nothing. How PH canny see that he’ll score more goals than Doidge or Shaw -combined, probably - is beyond me.

Wonder who he would pick if he had a straight swap between Hibs or Hearts

I suppose the argument would be that there is apparently no money left.

If there is and we’re looking for a striker than I doubt we can do any better.

Radical suggestion but how about Ron Gordon dips his hands into his pockets then if the transfer kitty is empty cause we’re 3 players short of where we should be and the squad as it is is an injury to Scott Allan away from a disaster.

Likewise id be fizzing.

Out of the 3 strikers we have, none are out and out goalscorers from what Iv seen. No matter how bad Jase is playing I’d always fancy him popping up with a whether that be a tap in or screamer. Kamberi, Doidge and Shaw don’t give me that feeling that they will score all the time.

Doidge has a good record down south but has only scored 1 for us since he’s joined including the pre season friendlies.

Some might say he’s not done it in the top flight, but Iv seen enough from the league, cup and play off games to know he would be fine. He also played well at rangers with limited game time. He would also love coming back and being the main man.

Youd like to think Jase would think of the good times here, how much the fans appreciate him and the fact he’s more suited to our style of play. Added to that he knows the guys here and is good friends with Scotty Allan. We have also gave him a career when hearts sacked him off.

Hearts would play him wide and it’s unclear if their fans would like him.

[Stuart93]

I’d take him purely so he didn’t end up at hearts

[calumhibee1]

Radical suggestion but how about Ron Gordon dips his hands into his pockets then if the transfer kitty is empty cause we’re 3 players short of where we should be and the squad as it is is an injury to Scott Allan away from a disaster.

Can’t see him ploughing money in at this stage. I don’t disagree with you though, quite how the money is apparently gone when we’re still 2 or 3 starting 11 quality players short doesn’t really add up to me.

Of course it may just be ‘mind games’ from Hibs.

[Since452]

Would he come here and think "right I've got a 2nd crack at it I'm going to work my bollocks off" or would he think he's closer to his mates for a night out and think he's achieved it all ? Probably the latter. If there's any form of doubt we shouldn't be going near him imo. Heckingbottom has banged the drum about only getting players in that are desperate to be here. I guess Heckingbottom would assess that if he were in talks with him.

[Bukta#8]

Unfortunately whenever Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen are linked with players they never end up in Green and White

[InchHibby]

It’s a no brainier, bring him back, don’t look too much into his time down South, he’s hand made for Hibs style of play.
Him and Kamberi up front will be the perfect strike force we need.
Go for it Hecky. GGTTH

[Hakim Sar]

Easy peasy.

SIGN HIM UP.

[Jim44]

They’ve a similar thread on KB. About 2 in 3 Jambos say they would take Cummings. This surprises me as I thought it would be the exact opposite. Mind you, a few want him only to spite us.

[Barman Stanton]

Unfortunately whenever Hibs, Hearts and Aberdeen are linked with players they never end up in Green and White

Thats not strictly true though is it. Last season Maclaren could have went to Hibs or Hearts. We lost one player to Aberdeen, people need to get over it.

[Percy Vere]

I’d take him back in a minute.
He’s a proven goal scorer for Hibs.
He loved the club.
I’m sure Heck’s man management skills would get the best out of JC.
We are short of a natural poacher, we should sign him ASAP.

[The Wireless]

He's not proven as a consistent goalscorer at this level. Can he play up front alone or wider as part of a 3? Can we sacrafice a centre mid to play 2 up front?

Honestly, I don't know how he fits.

Very fair comments. He would struggle as a loan striker. Is not suited for a wide area. No doubt capable as a 2nd striker. We struggle to control possession with only 2 centre mids at ER as other teams visit and play 3. I believe there are better out there however might need to spend to recruit??? However to be fair to the lad in all the time watching the player I never felt disappointment in his selection as he delivered more times than not, I do believe his striking partner played a huge part in that as you would expect. I suppose it might come down to his state of wellbeing and how he might change in his professional approach to a new regime on and off the pitch. In a nutshell, is he prepared to get his finger out, tow the line and work hard to improve or have we seen his best. If the answer was the latter then I for one think to take a chance might not be a football gamble. A gaffer makes the rules and players Must respect them. :agree::agree:

[Stokesy's on fire]

Doesnt make Cummings the solution to anything I said.

What he does have though, is bags of confidence and the ability to keep going. I don't think we have that in the final third. Maybe that is what we need, and his attitude can spread through the team.

[Gypsy King]

A heavily loaded question.
Embarrassing

What about
Should we bring Aguero to Hibs
Option 1 - Yes please we need a goalscorer
Option 2 - No



What a dumb comparison.

[Gypsy King]

Cummings would bang them in for us. Just like he did last time.

NO BRAINER

[IWasThere2016]

If it wasn't costing us much then absolutely.

He's not without his faults but he scored goals for us.

This. :agree:

[Biggie]

But can he fit into heckingbottoms high pressing, fast paced game ?

[blackpoolhibs]

PH likes to play one up front, where would Cummings play in that, remember Hampden against the sheep when he was asked to play the lone striker role.

[Greenworld]

Honestly, I don't know how he fits.Good point. Cummings certainly comes alive in the opposition penalty box and, although he improved his all round game under Lennon, I am not sure he's what we need at this point. We are crying out for some runners and graft in the middle of the park. A spine of Vela, Mallan, Alan, Doidge/Kamberi and Cummings does not fill me with confidence and I would see us getting overrun whenever a team can put pressure on us.

I am not a fan of Naismith but you've got to admire his work rate and energy levels. If we are going to play with a second striker we could use someone of that ilk.

I'd be happy to see JC back, he's got the predatory instinct that I don't think any of our 3 strikers have. And although he's not a proven goalscorer at this level, he is a proven goalscorer at hibs, and against several of the better teams in this league.
Plus if we don't, chances are someone else in the league will.

Cummings was a good a player as I've ever seen at not letting stuff like that get to him and put himself in position to get the next one - very important for a striker.

the fact cummings could score a goal out of absolutely nothing is another reason why he should be signed up. Heckingbottom, Dempster and George Craig should be all over this and have him back in the green more fool them if they are silly enough to turn a blind eye to a JC return.

100% spot on. Maybe he doesn't want a goal scorer with a bit of swagger and someone who has scored goals against the top teams in this League. Maybe its Graham Mathie and George Craig that don't want a natural goal scorer as maybe its them that has spent all the budget on video game players.

Imagine there was a midfielder who was a promising youngster but made the jump to England too soon. He was a flop on loan at various clubs and was tagged as being bother, having an ego and various other things. He then arrived back in Scotland and had a great season in the 2nd tier with his new club before agitating for a move, getting a move to the top club in the country and then found himself well out the picture almost immediately, he went on loan to England again and flopped then went on loan to a poor team in the Scottish Premiership and struggled for form and injuries and found himself on the bench towards the end of that loan spell.

Think Rotherham and Dundee. He ain't good enough.

He then arrived back in Scotland and had a great season in the 2nd tier with his new club before agitating for a move, getting a move to the top club in the country and then found himself well out the picture almost immediately, he went on loan to England again and flopped then went on loan to a poor team in the Scottish Premiership and struggled for form and injuries and found himself on the bench towards the end of that loan spell.

Think Rotherham and Dundee. He ain't good enough.

If you're referring to Scott Allan he came back to Hibs in the SPL and changed our season. He was immense. Thats the difference. Cummings has flopped everywhere he's been since leaving Hibs. Nottingham Forest, Rangers, Peterborough and Luton. Don't know how accurate wiki is but it's showing he's scored 10 goals since he left the Scottish Championship. Thats why the likes of St Johnstone are saying no.

My point was what had Allan done in the months and years before that return to Hibs in January last year? Flopped at Rotherham and Dundee.

That signing wasn't based on anything other than what he had done at Hibs previously. Cummings could well be a disaster back at Hibs but I'm not reading too much into a bad decision to go down south too early and a couple of crap loan moves. Based on what he has done for Hibs I'd give him another chance.

It's all hypothetical anyway as the manager has given a resounding no when asked if it will happen.

Did PH qualify his statement as to the reason? Such as he just didn’t rate Cummings or whether we didn’t have any cash to do a deal?

From what I saw he was talking about Shaw then someone asked if we were interested in Cummings and he just said 'no'.

There may have been more said later but at that point there was no follow up.

Nail on the head

[One Day Soon]

According to the Evening News alerts this evening, hecky has no intention of bringing him back.

So according to some that will mean we're definitely after him - just like the 'we've no money left' means we definitely have money left. That's some poker playing going on here.

I wish I could say there was, Jim. Jason is absolutely nowhere here - just a forgotten man. Three managers at Forest after Warburton, Karanka, O'Neill and now Lamouchi have totally ignored him. Nobody talks about him, it's like he doesn't exist. I've seen him in the odd pre-season job and he's looked lost and out of his depth. I thought he would struggle a bit at Championship level but I didn't expect almost complete failure across the divisions.

I think the TV-smashing incident really turned people against him. He was perceived here as an immature idiot that needed his backside kicking, not a quirky 'cheeky chappie'. Somebody who treated his career as a lark, rather than something he needed to work his guts out on to succeed - like John McGinn always has. I think fans here gave up on him at that point.

I wouldn't try to judge him on such but recent images don't have him looking much like a professional footballer either. It just all seems so familiar a sad football story where ability (i.e. goal scoring in Jason's case) is just not enough. I have a fear that at just 24 years-old we've actually already seen the best of Jason Cummings. I sincerely hope I'm wrong.

Leaving a debate about us signing him aside for a moment; hopefully this is a lesson to any young players we bring through in the future that biding your time and learning your trade can be just as important as a quick payday and rushing into a new challenge.

Everything is easy with 20/20 hindsight but had JC stuck around for another year as McGinn did who knows how things may have turned out. It's certainly something for the likes of Porteous and Murray to consider in the years to come.

What does "last wore the garibaldi in December 2017" mean?

[stu in nottingham]

What does "last wore the garibaldi in December 2017" mean?

It's referring to Forest's 'Garibaldi Red' shirts. The original Forest team bought twelve red caps to wear in their first game. Named after Italian freedom fighter General Garibaldi and his 'Redshirt' followers.

[Last Minute]

I think we should get him home and get him in shape. He will score goals :agree:

[Deansy]

'Heckingbottom has said Shaw will only be allowed to depart if another striker replaces him at Easter Road – but he ruled out that player being Cummings.Asked if there was any interest in the Reds front man, the Edinburgh Evening News report "he replied bluntly, 'no'".


Apparently Hecky wasn't really interested in McGeouch either - I'm really starting to believe he's Leeann's first major howler !!. What with playing one up front at home, no more money for players, along with that disgraceful 'performance' at ****brox I'm starting to get that old, familiar feeling where Hibs are concerned - depression !

correct the fact he has avoided two good players we may have been able to bring back sets of major alarm bells. If the club are to avoid taking back JC a cup winning hero then they had better have someone very special lined up to play for us.

i get the impression that hecky has a very particular ethic to his transfer dealings that he doesn't want to break, for some reason.

[SChibs]

I'd love for the people who voted "No" to explain why they did so !



He was our top goal scorer for THREE seasons on the bounce
Regular scorer in big games
The Hammer of Hearts
By the time he left he was working harder and his hold up play was much better
He'll be a better player with the experience of playing for other clubs
He will have matured (not difficult to be fair!)


IT'S A NO BRAINER !

Because I don't think his all round game is good enough for the league we are in now. Some players just hit a level and can't go up a league. Especially down in England there are great strikers that score plenty in the Championship but can't make the step up to the Premier League

[hibbyfraelibby]

So Hecky said NO, no qualification, no conditionality, so the Cummings lovies and Hecky haters will be asking if he meant

1. No as in No means No
2. No as in Maybes Aye, Maybes No or Maybes Nah
3. No, No, No, Yes as per Vicar of Dibly
4. No as an inflected "No"?
5. No as in No the now
6. No as in Nooooooh

I do hate it when people give a straight answer to a straight question and it was unequivecal.

[Scotty Leither]

A deal to the end of the season would suit everybody, and if he gets himself fit in time for the Derby and scores, then that would enervate the whole place and we could look at things again in January.

I get the impression though that Heckingbottom is the type that if the fans want something (maybe like two up at home) he'll go out to do the complete opposite just to prove he's right. I might be way off beam, but just the impression I get with his oblique answers that he gives at press conferences, he reminds me of Alex Miller in that regard too - Miller's team and his approach to games reflected his personaltiy - dull.

Whatever else Jason is, he's certainly not dull and our team and club seem bereft of characters at the moment.

[sixtwo]

Heckingbottom dismissed any suggestion of signing him! Why dismiss it so bluntly? I am so annoyed with this guy. Really liked him last year but his signings have been dross. I have come to the conclusion he does not understand the size of the job at Hibs. He thinks lower league pish from England would walk it here. He underestimates the league. He is buying to his budget but his network is so narrow, he is limited to crap from England. Last year we were sourcing players from Germany etc. He better turn things around soon because the knives are being sharpened after that shambles at Ibrox!

Look at Cummings record since he left and pretend he never played for us. Would you sign him and why?

Different league, different playing style. He's a proven effective player up here and that should be good enough. Would love to see him back. Would be absolutely sick if he went to Hearts. Not just because of who he is, but because of what he can do up here.

Not quite the same given that Allan was frozen out. JC has had several chances and hasn’t done the business.

Time will tell but he has not set the heather alight. I have not seen anything in him that Marvin Bartley couldn’t offer. Dare I say Dylan Mcgeough could have filled that holding midfield role. It’s a sad indictment that only one of his signings is arguably ‘ not dross’

[Pretty Boy]

Allan flopped on loan at Rotherham and Dundee between his 1st and 2nd spells at Hibs.

I'm not sure Cummings is the answer to all our problems but I'm not overly hung up on what he has done since he has been away. Everything about him just screams miserable in the last couple of years and he maybe just needs an arm around the shoulder and to feel wanted again.

Of course Dylan would have been a fantastic signing , you ever thought he didnt want to come back to Hibs or we just cant afford his wages now ? Its perfectly reasonable.

What was he ment to say? Mutter and stutter and say he likes Jasons hair? No was a good enough answer for me.

[weecounty hibby]

How did he do at Sevco?

2 goals in 15 appearances. 1 in 14 at Forest. 6 in 22 at Peterborough. 1 in 5 at Luton. So 56 appearances for a total of 10 goals. Not great at all. If he hadn't played for us in the past I don't think folk would be excited by the prospect of Jason being our saviour. Add in his apparently unprofessional behaviour and it would be a definite no I would think

[sixtwo]

Is Vella dross also ?

How did vela do last week against the huns? Like the rest of heckingbottoms signings, he sh@t himself. Totally backs up my argument that Heckingbottom underestimates the league and size of the job here!

You mean in the 15 appearances he had there compared to the 114 he had with us? He scored a couple of goals, not a great return but not even one full season to properly judge his performances there.

Not so sure. When fit Allan was Dundee's best player
