I think the news is that nobody is giving much of an eff you see kay anymore, least not Commons and Lennon themselves.

Not required and as another month passes us by the thought of him signing is getting less and less welcome.

I think his quality is being totally dismissed because of the time has been out - that's a fitness issue and if that can be overcome then brilliant - if not then we won't sign him.

Commons has quality - we saw that last year when that quality was able to make a significant impact for us in the short time he was here.
If he can get fit and NL thinks he is able to contribute I think it would be great to have someone who could give us just that extra bit in the final third - even if it's from the bench and for a short period.

He'd be more of a hindrance than a help coming in half way through the season having not kicked a ball since he was with us. He got away with it in the Championship but won't in the Premiership.

No lose gamble for me.
Good player and different to what we already have.
If he recaptures his form brilliant, if not then it wont have cost a lot.

He did ok in his wee cameo for us in the championship, scored a few important goals in fact which were very welcome, but it was pretty clear he wasn't fit. As the weeks go by I cant say the prospect of him signing fills me with excitement, at best for me he would be a back up and nothing more.

As a player he might struggle a bit and I would not be concerned if he missed the boat with us, but he might be a very good addition to our coaching staff in terms of letting some of the younger guys know what it takes to have a good career in football. I thought he was a very good player, but it is anyone's guess what he has left in his legs.

I think the team as it stands will probably drift between fourth and seventh positions in the league. The addition of a touch of class might enhance our chances of better. Our present budget won’t stretch to bringing in the quality of player to do that but if the likes of a willing Commons is available, I reckon we have nothing to lose by giving him a chance. On the other hand, if it doesn’t happen, we won’t suffer.

At his age I wonder how long it would take him to shift the weight he's carrying? Ok he's never looked a total athlete but he looked pretty hefty on TV lately.
No doubt he's a quality player but I wonder if he can get fit enough to cope with the pace of the game.PM Awards General Poster of The Year 2015, 2016, 2017. Probably robbed in other years

If he can get fit, he may well sign, if he can't then we wont.
Its no big deal.

Is he still using Celtics facilities to get fit if there was to be any chance of us signing him i would of thought Lennon would want him training with us December and January to see how fit he is
Lennon hasn't mentioned him for a while so assume he isn't yet ready to step up his Training with us

Over six years or so in this league he’s scored at a rate of better than 1 in 3. More than decent for a midfielder.
His goals for us came at a crucial time and pulled us away from Dundee Utd at a point it could have gone the wrong way.

You’ve no idea how fit he might be in the coming weeks and months.
If he can prove he is then he’s obviously a quality player who is also fit enough to contribute. If he’s not then we won’t sign him.
I’m not sure why there’s a need to write the guy off. He done a very decent turn for us and some of the comments about him seem to be a bit spiteful. No idea why.

I'd far rather see the likes of Ollie Shaw, Jamie Gullan, Fraser Murray, Porteous etc given a chance than sign a veteran. Commons is now being apprenticed into the arts of a pundit and good luck to him.

Some right **** on this thread. IF he comes he will train and wont get close to the first team until we think he is ready. People asking for players like Gullan to be put forward never watch a real game of football. The boy would struggle to get in the 1st division. Let the management team do their job and stop slavering pish.

I'd always rather give promising youngsters a chance to get close to the first team rather than sign players like Kris Commons who is on the road to being a pundit.

I’ve liked the look of many of those players but very few have made it with Hibs and very few, if any, have gone onto equal or better things.
The margins for young players are extremely tight, ruthless even, but they are fair. In football you get to the level you deserve unless you compromise your talent with your lifestyle choices.
Young players will get the chance if they’re good enough, but managers everywhere will be cautious. They will think about the percentages and that makes them more cautious. I genuinely believe that all of us on here, given the chance to manage, would automatically become more cautious and conservative in our tactics and team selection, and posters who want sweeping changes and lots of youth introduction would change their tune.There's only one thing better than a Hibs calendar and that's two Hibs calendars

Ibrahimovic and Commons have never been on the same spectrum as players.
As ever just an opinion and it's Lennon's that really counts not mine so we wait and see.Last edited by Scouse Hibee; 14-10-2017 at 07:44 AM.
