Half a season in the team or half a season on the dreaded "two weeks " list?Quote:

Also , is there a limit on number of loan players from one club ? Could we get anyone else from Celtic too ? Presumably at least 1 more if we had Henderson and Stokes last season .
He got class and intelligence. We need more of both.
Poor man's Henderson
Just pay the dough and bring Henderson back
**** Commons, Christie, GMS. Just sign Henderson.
DAE IT!
Hell yeah NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO brainer surely :thumbsup:
yes please:aok:
Pay When u Play kinda Contract .. must be.. :wink:
Need to sort out a deal re. his £20k a week wages he's getting from Celtc.
I suggest Celtc pay him £10k and Celtc pay Hibs £10k.
That would probably clinch it for me. :cb
Is Commons match fit? If not how long to get him match fit . These are things that have to be taken into consideration.
This for me as he will take up a big wage But if he scores goals stays fiit and creates chances for others he would be an assett and has experience to maybe turn a game off the bench if he isnt up to the 90 minutes initiallyQuote:

Would be very surprised if he is fit enough to contribute enough in a period crucial to our future.
Hopefully I'm wrong - he was a fine player, but it's not a signing I'm confident about.
If he comes to ER in January he won't have played for around 9 months so the answer is nowhere near match fit.How long to get fit?Well it certainly doesn't get any easier as you get older.Quote:

By the time he is fit Fyfie and McGinn would be back. Good player no doubt but would not take him if we had the chance to get Henderson as a Hibs player not on loan. We really need players who can hit the gorund running.
Honestly? No.
Fitness and age will together be an issue and all for a large chunk of the wages too.
I feel our money could be spent wiser but I'd love to be proved wrong.
cant see us having the chance to get Hendo as a player, rather than a loan? however, the man were on about....yes. has the credentials, as much as yer man Anthony Stokes had. Stokesy annoyed a few on here for weeks. a few weeks later he was the darling of the sidelines :greengrin. sign the man, we will need his sort come the end of the seasonQuote:

Commons that played for Celtic...absolutely yes no brainer....Commons that was out for Celtic 1 months...yes....Commons who has been out for 9 months and needs to hit the ground running, gelling with players straight away, having a massive impact (because that is the reality we need) in a brutal league that can be very physical.....no chance.
Chris Commons the Celtic player is a massive class above Hibs and the reason we can potentially get him is he is Chris Commons that may or may not be finished.....overall is that a gamble we can take. Maybe Neil knows...hope its the right decision because we as fans are living at the wrong end (league wise) of a lot these decisions
Sorry it's a no from me, been out of the game for too long. Will take about 6-8 weeks to get him match fit, funds required for his wages would be better spent on a younger player. Good player in his time but for me his best days are behind him
Ahem,....... Sparky?Quote:

Probably at the lower end but it least it's merited comment, unlike the other crap.
He would take too long to get match fit. Look how long it took Stokes and he is about 5 years younger and not as fat.
