Must have been small bids. What do you think it would take? 250k?

Add an extra zero to that.

Between 500k and 750k and I'd start talking nothing less than 500k upfront.

I would personally keep him co she has big potential and I think he'll score a few this season.

[hfc rd]

How long is he contracted to Hibs?

[Golden Bear]

Good. No way should we even consider selling the laddie at this stage of his career. In a few years hopefully the guy has enhanced his reputation, proven to be a big success for Hibernian, went on to become a full internationalist and only then should we contemplate mega buck bids from potential suitors.

Until then Swansea can do one as can any other carpetbaggers.

[Bronson]

Someone posted this about a week or so ago, can't remember who. I see Barry Anderson tweeted it though so it's just coming to light now.

Personally I'd be looking for a decent sum, the boy has obvious potential and could be a big player for us this season. Any derisory bids like 100k should be laughed off.

They paid £200+ for the hertz guy when they were desperate for cash so I'd be looking for a lot more for Cummings.

Exactly, and Cummings had far more first team football than that lad, I can't even remember his name which says a lot.

There's no way Hibs would demand a bid of £2.5 million for Cummings at this stage of his career.

I reckon we would accept bids of around £500,000.

[hibs0666]

Is Cummings in the final year of his contract? If so we can forget about a big fee.

[nribs]

And if he goes we won't have Rod to negotiate a sell on clause

Billy King I think.

[Hibeewilly]

We need to extend his contract and keep him. The lad has undoubted potential

Can be a big player for us this season. Agree totally.

[lord bunberry]

Let's hope we're offering him a decent contract, the money he's currently on and the amount we'd offered him to sign a new deal were a joke.

[Paloschi]

Personally would not take anything under 750,000 up front with add-ons to take it nearer £1,000,000.

It's Adam King. Used to play football with both him and his big brother Billy, who is still at Hearts. Good lads the both of them.

Don't think he would attract a bid of that value yet unless he starts scoring in every pre season game .But I would rather keep him ,but he is out of contract at end of season so it's a tricky one for the club ,He cost nothing so given our Financial position they would want to cash in at some point if he isn't going to sign a new contract

I didn't mean that to sound disrespectful, my point was that the boy was hardly first team and he went for 200k, so we should be looking for more for Cummings seeing as he's regular first team.

And I have to say, I live for the day Billy King scores into Celtic

[Hibs90]

Let Cummings go and Hibs can shove ANY ticket money they would be getting from me this season.

I know, but I think we should aim to hang on to promising young prospects unless someone offered stupid money. Putting a big price tag on him is more a statement of intent.

[Unseen work]

I thought he signed a new long term contract recently?

[Phil MaGlass]

pretty poor if we were to let him go just now, he is a promising lad and should tell them where to go, if they are looking at him now how much will he be worth in the future. English clubs again trying to get Scottish youngsters ar knock down prices, Scottish fitba will never amount to much again if we keep letting the so called life blood of OUR game leave so early....

I think when you look at the likes of Gauld and Robertson from Dundee United going for figures that could rise to £3,000,000 it is only fair to assume that Hibs could hold out for a lot more than a measly fee.

As I said its all what I personally would hold out for, as a fan of the club that is my valuation of him but I do not know him, do not manage him and am not aware of Hibs exact financial position.

We should be holding on to our best young players though and I'm sure LD, GC and AS are going to keep rejecting these offers.

Another reason for Hibs fans not supporting our team. We must be the worst support in Scotland for finding reasons not to support our club

I would imagine if the fee is £250k plus add ons he'll be away

Are you joking? 2.5 million for him?! That's ridiculous. How many goals has he scored for us first team? 2 goals against Hamilton and 2 pre season against vale leithen. 2.5 million? Unbelievable

250k is a decent deal IMO.

Really? What if they used that money to bring in a better forward?
