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.

He (my mate, not TM) is gutted they're letting him go for what it's worth
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:

Not abusing anything this is no time to pish about seeing if some young lad can do it or not. I will be amazed if another two signings don't come in JanuaryQuote:

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:

Done deal. https://twitter.com/Kenny_Millar
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:

Jason had about twenty games (and no goals) before the Hamilton play off.Quote:
