**Nicho87** · 08-12-2016 06:54 PM

100% yes.

***Unseen work*** · 08-12-2016 06:55 PM

Yes.

We are nowhere near the level to turn down a player of his ability

**HUTCHYHIBBY** · 08-12-2016 06:56 PM

Yes please.

**Mr White** · 08-12-2016 07:01 PM

Affirmative.

**Big_Franck** · 08-12-2016 07:02 PM

A fit Commons would be a no brainer. This might end up similar to what happened with Stokes in that he'll just be hitting full match sharpness towards the end of the championship season. He's not played a game since April. If we are going to spend a wedge on one stand out signing in January i'd much prefer him to be match fit.

***BigKev*** · 08-12-2016 07:02 PM

Hell yes!

***bingo70*** · 08-12-2016 07:09 PM

not sure.

I think he should/could be a good signing but I'm always a bit nervous about getting players in for what will possibly be the last few months of their career. I just think of Jonathon johanson, junior agogo and I'm sure there are others I can't think of right now.

He's never had any pace to lose so I suppose that should count in his favour and we've certainly missed someone that could stick the ball in the net from outside the box.

In short, every rational part of me thinks he'd be a great signing but my gut feeling is that he could well be passed it.

Always wary of signing players looking for a final pay cheque. Not to say he doesn't have the ability to do a job for us. But whether he'd actually bother or not after signing the dotted line is another matter.

***NORTHERNHIBBY*** · 08-12-2016 07:22 PM

Has to be questions about his fitness. Don't want a rerun of Johanson.

He wouldn't necessarily be looking for a final pay cheque though. If, for example, he signed on loan till the end of the season he'd most likely be looking at a reduction in pay. That would show a hunger to play imo.

No doubt.

Yes

***lucky*** · 08-12-2016 07:24 PM

He would be the best player since sauzee. Real class and proven winner in Scotland

***Scouse Hibee*** · 08-12-2016 07:25 PM

No brainer for me,to get a player of his quality would be a great signing.

This!! It's a big statement to make but I've said it also myself. He'd be an absolute hell of a signing!

It's the rumour I've been keeping my eye on most. Please Hibs!

That's it for me.

**Pretty Boy** · 08-12-2016 07:43 PM

If he's even 75% of the player he was at his best then absolutely yes.

**iwasthere1972** · 08-12-2016 07:51 PM

It's a big fat yes from me.

**rotherhamrob** · 08-12-2016 07:59 PM

I think he'd be a great signing.
As others have said he doesn't have any pace to lose and regarding his fitness,if he only lasts an hour in each game,that could be enough to break some teams down.

***SRHibs*** · 08-12-2016 08:01 PM

His name's a bit too common. Enzo Reale for me!

**Stax** · 08-12-2016 08:02 PM

Definitely a yes from me. I understand concerns about fitness but as long as hes at full tilt at the business end of the season I can't see why wouldn't take him if we can. Proven pedigree and good relationship with the manager.

**Hi Heid Yin** · 08-12-2016 08:05 PM

A fit Kris Commons then yes!

That is my view too. Stokes was amazing in the final but over the time he was here, without that game, I'm not sure it would be described as a successful signing. If Commons is cheap then it might be worthwhile but if we can get a good to go quality youngster with potential sell on then that is the route I would prefer. One thing for sure we need 3 or 4 players who offer more than what we have at present.
