He'd have a ready made song though. Ok it would need to be altered a bit but it could work.
We love Samaras, we love Samaras.
Or something like that.

Didn't we go through this when we signed Holt. And Stokes too. And I remember all the abuse I took on here when I said no to Terry Butcher.... Sigh.
Remember when this forum used to be fun.
I've actually met Samaras and he's a really nice, friendly guy. But not for Hibs. He needs crosses into the box and we seem to have a problem in that area at the moment.
Samaras is a strange one. 31 isn't old and on his days he's a player. It's how often he has his day that would worry me.
I'm not sure how much truth is in a lot of these rumours though. I think a lot is people just plucking names out that Lennon has a connection to and hoping they get lucky. I'd like to think our scouting network is a bit more sophisticated than 'people the gaffer knows'.
If Commons wouldn't take a wage cut on his £20k per week, is it likely that our maximum contribution, within our wage structure, would appeal to Celtic? Even then, our maximum contribution is a lot to pay for what really is a gamble, no matter how popular a move to us appears to be.:dunno:
I'm not depressed either, but the season so far hardly fills me with joy. Out of three cups and in a battle at the top of the league.
Marciano has done the business, the others have been fairly underwhelming, but we have another window and the opportunity to bring in guys that could make a difference. I think i'll stave off the feelings of being doomed for now thanks.
Not sure that Lennon is privy to the day to day training stats at Celtic , but I would guess he is smart enough to know that we need players who will contribute from the off and experienced enough to know that the best oart of a year with nae fitba and being a 33 doesn't seem like a recipe for instant success.
My final point, which no one who wants Commons in appears to be able to address is that this division is robust and competative. Skill and past achievements count for little if you can't meet a certain standard of fitness. Grant Holt illustrates this perfectly well.
Yes, but needs to be fully fit. I think he would be a good few weeks away from being match fit though. I don't know when he last played a competitive game?
My concern would be the time he would need to get up to speed, if we are still neck and neck with UTD we need someone who can hit the ground running.
Our biggest requirement is two wingers who have pace and can cross a ball. I don't think Commons would even be required as I think we'd get a lot more out of Holt and Graham if we had better delivery into the box from the wings.
Wonder if Dixie Deans still has his boots?
sign him as long as he is match fit, not just fit!we cannot afford the time .

Emergency loan being touted.
Could be a master stroke getting in him now. Gove him a couple of games to find his touch and ready to go for united in january.
Please please please please
Without a doubt, yes. :aok:
Great to sign him if he's ready to go (fitness and sharpness)?
Has a great reading of the game and also scores goals, whats not to like!!!!
Fit and ready yes
Fat and lazy no
Terrific player. If he's fit and motivated, he'll make a huge difference to our attack/creativity from midfield.
The jury is out until I see what kind of nick he's in. What was then and what is now could be two entirely different things.
Get him in he will be fitter than Dylan Mcgeough.
Lennon will have an advantage over the jury! All the players at a club like Celtic will be closely monitored re fitness by the sports scientist and team. He may be rusty from lack of first team games but Lennon will know how fit he is after speaking to them and the coaching staff!
