It's happening.
I'd rather our focus was winning each game and scoring as many as we can whilst doing it than giving people game time for the sake of it.Quote:

Commons one Hibs are determined to try and land, but isn't the only one on their list. Christie, Henderson and Pawlett still of interest.
It's not really game time for the sake of it though.Quote:

I've always been impressed by Scott Martin - wouldn't it be great if the answer to our current midfield problems was under our noses? Wouldn't it be great if he came in, played out his skin and prevented Fyvie or McGinn getting back in? We all know about Lewis Stevenson's great strengths but odd limitation. What if Callum Crane ended up having a better mix of skills? Crane comes on for the last 15 minutes, whips 3 or 4 great balls into the box creating a couple of goals - it gives Lennon something to think about.
We have to assume these players aren't good enough and that's why they're not even getting a brief chance, which is pretty harsh on those players.
I do accept though that winning games by the biggest margin possible is the priority this season and I still back Lennon 100% to do it whichever way he sees fit.
STV reporting that he's travelled to Edinburgh to finalise a move:

If Kris Commons is still fit but just requires games then that tells me all I need to know about his attitude. Get him in.
Excited!

Good boost going into a difficult set of fixtures.
Hopefully more early January.
Creativity and pace required - plus goals from midfield.
Aaaaah buzzing!! Looks like it may actually be about to get over the line!
Wonderful signing if true. Let's not forget players of his standing can lift the standard of the rest of the players that alone would be great for the team.
I still think another player will come in slso we cannot go into the next 2 months with this squad

Can we all agree not to have a meltdown the first time he gets absolutely done for pace?
Game intelligence to unlock the opposition.
He was never super quick but as long as he still reads the game in the mind he will 100% add to the squad.
Emergency loan deal. He could be here for Morton game tomorrow.
If Commons was offered to any club in Scotland except The Rangers they would well take him on. This is a terrific piece of business at least on paper and if I was manager I would well be trying to get him in.

Yes please Hibs
They're discussing it over on Kerrydale Street. Some are glad to see him go, 'played well, paid well, see yah'.Quote:

Some think we're making a mistake : 'Of all the players to look for on emergency loan I think an idle Kris Commons might be the funniest.'
Think what you want of the guy, the main thing is that the deal is strongly on the cards.. If we get him, I hope he does a job for us. :thumbsup:
Agreed, the boy is quality. Other teams in the Championship can only dream of picking up players like this.Quote:

Will suspend judgement till I see him play. Obviously I hope he's a huge success.

Hope he doesn't start tomorrow, lacking in match fitness and we have Scott Martin believing he finally has a chance to prove himself. Abusing the emergency loan I think when we already have young and able midfielders to fill in the games till January comes. Happy to see Commons come in, just need to build up his fitness and start a reserves game so we can be sure he is ready for the first team.
We have to win. Nothing else matters.Quote:

The manager clearly doesn't think that the youngsters will cope in a pressure game in Greenock, if he signs on an emergency loan then I would assume that would be as cover for the injured 3 we have out. Even lacking match fitness he will still be able to chuck probing passes and bang a few shots in.Quote:

Martin looked impressive during the opening Falkirk game and getting good reviews from the reserves so don't see why he shouldn't be starting.Quote:

Martin before a fit Commons? It's all about the 3 points mate.Quote:

It's a dilemma. My preference would be Martin, for the reasons you state, but Commons needs game time if it isn't going to be a waste of time having him in. I'd be tempted start with him, then bring in Martin, possibly at HT because no way will he last 90 mins.Quote:

He could be the next Messi but we won't know if we don't give him a damn chance! Tired of hearing that we shouldn't be playing these youngsters in "big" games. Jason was brought in during the Hamilton play-offs and scored a brace, almost keeping us up and is our most prolific scorer at the club right now. Dashing Bob said it best, give Martin the time to show what he has and give Commons 30 or 40 minutes to freshen himself up for the next weeks game.Quote:

I'm expecting Kris to score or set up 2 goals for us in the Scottish Cup final , that's the standard that's now set

Excellent news, could be a very important signing for us.
Welcome to the hibees Kris 👍
Yes. Match fit he'll be a great signing.

For a friday laugh - they are SEETHING!
Few crackers such as 'Celtic partial scottish cup winners 2016' --- if anyone helped us it was Robbie Neilson :na na:
Zero natural width though so unlikely a successful ensemble unless we signed a couple of attacking fullbacks to provide the width.Quote:

Tony Stokes' first away game, away to Morton.
Not match fit, nowhere near the speed - Scored the winner.
I'll take that again tomorrow easily.
He is a far better player than Tony Andreu, who is scoring for fun in this league.

Tremendous signing, welcome Kris :thumbsup:
Cannae believe we're signing Commons, unreal!
Some of them as well as a lot of others elsewhere don't understand the emergency loan rules. Mostly Huns, Jambos and United fans all raging.Quote:

96 days is the duration of time for an "Emergency Loan" although the deal will see that extended in January till end of season.Quote:

If it's done and it sounds like is it, welcome to Hibs Kris, how about a debut goal or two tomorrow :aok:
Canny wait for Raith in a week now!
Presumably he goes back to Celtic after 28 days?
As an emergency loan I would assume so, but by then the window would be open and we would be free to negotiate with celtc for his release.Quote:

Pretty sure we wouldnt sign him as an emergency loan if he wasnt good to go, hopefully he will be a cracking signing for us

He's also putting himself in the shop window of course.So if he does well,which obviously benefits us ,he could then be off somewhere else.
A great player from the wee Greens.Quote:

Not surprised he looks fit so it will just be game time needed but could still be good enough for this league now.Quote:
