Promise I wasn’t singling out you pal

If he was on £20k a week he’ll have lofty ambitions (that we can’t match) but theirs definitely a talent there!

Dundee United - winner in the shoot out (after a hash brown in normal time)
Plenty against Hearts and Rangers (ok in the championship at the time but arguably better than 2/3 of the top flight at the time)

The lad knows where the net is, you can’t deny that

Sadly stunted his development but there’s definitely a goal threat there

On a free, we would easily get money from him for another crack down south

Do I have to remind some on here he’s a SCOTTISH CUP WINNER?!?

---

He scored some goals against SPL teams but the fact remains that, career wise, most of his scoring was done at championship level.

As for the Scottish Cup Winner -
So was Conrad Logan.
He was brilliant in that run but that doesn't mean we should be trying to bring him back.

Nothing against Cummings and wouldn't have a problem with him being back but the historical arguments don't stack up to anything other than a gamble.

It is fine, and you’ve trawled out lots of stats about Jason scoring against the likes of Falkirk (while somehow talking them up to something they are basically not) and otherwise, Championship sides. We all know he got goals against the top sides when we were down. Love him for it.
Kamberi has more top flight goals. He’s ONLY got top flight goals for us. And in Europe. If it’s only about Hertz games maybe the obsession thing is getting bigger than we thought.

Is the obvious question about JC not more about what he’s like as a person more than a footballer? I can’t help but think that plays a part on peoples opinions?

Cummings and Doidge up front would be a handful

I think much like Scott Allan, some clubs are a good fit for a player and we are good for Jason. Has a great friendship with SA and a few of the lads still at the club too. He's drifting down there and needs to come back, focus on playing, and scoring goals - one thing he is great at is scoring all types of goals.

I'd have him back purely to see him with Doidge - good potential there. McNulty, Doidge, Shaw and Cummings would be :aok:

The bit about scoring all types of goals is often overlooked IMO.

He got plenty tap ins, plenty headers despite his size and could bang one in from 20 yards as well.

I think he’d do all right for us if playing in a two. Don’t expect to see him back here though.

He's as natural a goal scorer I've seen since Derek BHFC..........doesn't have the natural god given talent DR had but he's a player that always got me off my seat when he picked the ball up near the box.

Firstly, I am not that great a fan of Jason Cummings. He is a goal scorer but tends to add little else. He is a bit greedy. Can't play up front on his own but struggles to strike up a partnership.

However if we were to sell Kamberi and then use that to fund bringing in McNulty and Cummings then I think that it would good business.

I believe that Heckingbottom could teach JC the more tactical elements that he needs to be a better player.

Never rated him that much to be honest. I always felt he would struggle at forest and that exactly what happened.

Although caveat there is he was able to play "daft young laddie"...not sure he would get away with that as much now.

McCoist got away with it his while career, plenty others too. Being a bit gallus and immature often works well for strikers.

We got £500k for him.

Bring him back!

We need a poacher and he also loved scoring against our neighbours.

Would be an upgrade on Shaw.

Was it even as much as that?

Bring the Cumdog back!

When cummings left I felt ok about it.but he is a big game striker who pops one in in the big games.we might be lacking that and probably since he left infact.
Handful for any team.unorthodox which makes him hard to defend against.raw and releases others from marking.I.e kamberi,alan,boyle.imagine they three with a moment to think on the ball.

Yep, buy out clause, the new deal was only signed because if it, got us up and then off he went for £10kpw. I posted a few weeks before it happened on the PM board as I'm pally with his dad.

Drop his Dad a message saying Jason needs to tell his agent to get on the blower to George Craig.

Taking JC back would be a no brainer imo. Big personality, perfect partner for likes of Doidge. Scores against Hearts. If it is free transfer I’d rather take that than pay a fee for Mcnulty tbh.

Bring him home hibs.

I'm sure the club will be well aware of Cummings situation with Forest.

PH might not fancy Cummings. His off the field antics when he was down South are less than complimentary to him.

As pointed out, Barnsley was linked to him when Hecky was the manager there.

You may well be right and I wouldn't blame him for steering clear for those reasons. As someone else said earlier, sometimes a club & player are just a good fit for each other and I think Cummings and Hibs fall into that category.

Hopefully JC has grown up a bit and realises he needs to work on his all round game. I can see PH as being just the type of head coach that can get the best out of him and help him improve. I think it was the same poster who said 12 month deal with the option to extend. That sounds like a sensible proposition to me.

I would take JC back.

I'd imagine it would be us,hearts possibly Aberdeen, maybe even Dundee united trying to get him.

Bring the laddie home
