If he doesn't fancy any of the players already here, they'd be shown the door by now. Very quick to move Bartley and Milligan on this window.

You cannot show preferential treatment in a squad game, he'll have his 15-18 main 1st team squad players with 3-4 youngsters to fill out the squad.

You can’t show the door to players on good money on long contracts. Bartley and Milligan ran out of contract.

He would have identified positions he thought was weak and brought players in to fit into the roles, at least I would hope that’s what he was doing instead of bringing in competition for places to a squad that finished 5th last season.

Does anyone know who he supported as a boy?

Massive Hearts fan as are his whole family but they treated him like **** when he got injured, I'd think he'd choose us before them.

Let's look at his players.

Maxwell, decent but backup to Rocky.
James, still young but good cover for Gray.
Jackson, decent quality and will push for a starting spot.
Newell, decent quality but about the same as Horgan.
Doidge, good stats but at a lower level, Kamberi is the better player, decent cover.

Thanks.

Didn't know any of that. Pretty sure, in that case, he would choose to come back to Hibs.

So what’s he playing at then not signing players he thinks are better than the current squad?

Cummings is the complete antithesis of a Levein type of signing.

Very true and nicely put, can't see that kind of phraseology on Follow Follow somehow!

As for Cummings, I'd take him back in a minute, proven goalscorer in Scotland, feel he would comfortably be Hibs top goalscorer if he signed.

4. He's never really proved himself at premier league level. His spell with The Rangers was eminently forgettable.

5 goals against Hearts
8 goals against Rangers
5 goals against Dundee United
10 goals against Falkirk (arguably the best non-Edinburgh/Rangers second tier team this century)
4 goals against St Mirren
2 goals against Livingston
1 goal against Aberdeen & St Johnstone

Have Kamberi or McNulty (or even Maclaren) managed that?

***MyJo*** · 18-07-2019 01:26 PM

Cummings is a F***y.

But he is our, Scottish cup winning, F***y.

Scott Allan didn't cover himself in glory when he tried to engineer a move to Rangers in his first stint with us leading many people to say the same kind of stuff about him when he came back on loan that is being said about Cummings now.

Like Allan, if he comes back older and wiser from things not working as expected he would be welcomed back with open arms from me.

Probably money, our big problem last season was balance in the squad and short on numbers when we got injuries. To get better players we need to spend more, we had a decent core last season but struggled when we lost players.

Efe at RB, Horgan in the hole and Flo out on the left said it all.

***Ozyhibby*** · 18-07-2019 01:43 PM

Stick with Shaw. He’s going to score 15 this season and more next.

Doidge would be a better pick as keeper with his experience of playing basketball similar to our former keeper Oli Gottskalksson… then again maybe not.

I don’t think he’ll start 15 games, never mind score 15 goals.

Hope to be proved wrong of course.

Oli the Goalie. There is a blast from the past. Sure he did a runner from a club down south instead of giving a drug sample. Banned I think.

**~~Iggy Pope~~** · 18-07-2019 01:53 PM

Much as I’m loathe to criticise any of our younger players.
At the recent Newcastle friendly Oli Shaw and Fraser Murray had the most first team appearances amongst those on the pitch and by some distance. The concern was that you wouldn’t really have known this going by their involvement. Friendly, at East Mains so not big time. But I’m expecting a bit more.

Kamberi has more top flight goals than Jason Cummings no matter how you choose to spin it.

**bigswissstriker** · 18-07-2019 01:59 PM

Would take JC back but he’s in the same boat as mcnulty for me. If we are gonna have to break the bank for them then I wouldn’t do it. Both good players but not overly bothered if either came back or no

He also has convictions for housebreaking and violence and driving under the influence with a minor in the car. Has served time!

No danger. He's away on loan as soon as we sign another forward.

**Since452** · 18-07-2019 02:05 PM

I'm on the fence with Cummings. Loves a goal against Hearts and Sevco and he'd be brilliant in the dressing room but not sure he has what it takes to do it consistently at this level. Remember him being right off the boil in the Championship at times. If i had to give an answer I'd probably say yes. Easter Road might just bring out the best in him again. He's better than Shaw for me.

**MrRobot** · 18-07-2019 02:14 PM

Dont want Cummings back, would rather McNulty.

That's fine, but Kamberi has one goal (a penalty) in six derbies while Cummings has five in nine - arguably the most difficult game for a Hibs player to perform in.

Cummings for me would be our main man and end up top goalscorer easily, have a feeling hed choose hearts likes being controversial and seeing as how some hibs fans treat him cant blame him.

Some big bad men booed him when he played for the huns. His agent took a right wee strop over it.

I would definitely have him back at Hibs if McNulty is going to be too expensive.

Just had a look and Barnsley were apparently interested in Cummings when Hecky was their manager in 2017....
