McCoist got away with it his while career, plenty others too. Being a bit gallus and immature often works well for strikers.

Totally. In an age of the sterile, mundane, lack of character footballer types JC is a likeable throwback.

I’d have him back but not as first choice and he won’t want that.

I would take JC back.

I'd imagine it would be us,hearts possibly Aberdeen, maybe even Dundee united trying to get him.

Can't see Aberdeen being interested.
Leave the laddie down south to earn the final year of his big money contract.
Perhaps bring him back to Hibs on loan in the January window and if he does well offer him a contract.
Slowly slowly catches the monkey.

Just thinking they released May didn't they? And if jase was free got a feeling the club's I mentioned would be interested.

****ing yaaaaaaawn. He’s the Hun dad right? Did his dad tell you he would end up at Ibroke as well? (BTW if you’re reading this, Jason’s dad, hiya pal!, hiya!)

I've known his dad since he was 21, I gave him his 1st job driving taxi's, he and his family are all massive Jambo's. I picked him up about the Hun crap when I seen him soon after, he just shrugged his shoulders and said it is what it is, all part of the press nonsense. He'll be nowhere near this site and no he never told me about his Ibrox move, I hadn't seen him prior to that move.

Looking forward to your next belly laugh of a response, your wit is legendary.

Firstly, I am not that great a fan of Jason Cummings. He is a goal scorer but tends to add little else. He is a bit greedy. Can't play up front on his own but struggles to strike up a partnership.

However if we were to sell Kamberi and then use that to fund bringing in McNulty and Cummings then I think that it would good business.

I believe that Heckingbottom could teach JC the more tactical elements that he needs to be a better player.

I think part of Jason’s issues in not really developing at Forest or anywhere else since leaving us is that he’s actually tactically very limited. He’s a good goal scorer and works off instinct, but struggles beyond that. I think PH wouldn’t be much use to him, because I genuinely believe Jason doesn’t take on board tactical instruction anyway. Fairly certain that’s why he’s bombed everywhere else.

That said, I do like and respect everything he achieved here. I just think that we’d end up disappointed. It’s a bit like arranging a date with a former girlfriend, only to find she’s not as pretty as you remember...

Cummings > Shaw.

therefore worth it.

I have only met Jason Cumming's once and this was a few weeks ago. I asked him directly where he saw himself going, he was very hostile against going to Aberdeen. Very hostile. He was in rapture of Rangers, which I thought was his preferred choice, though he did not come out and say it. He was very clear that he thought he had been treated poorly by Hearts but would not rule out a move. When I asked him about Hibs, his reply I thought was wise, he said some clubs and players fitted and that he thoughts Hibs style of play suited him.

I’m genuinely not sure about that.

Of course Cummings was the faster developer. We signed him as a prospect but the 17 year just scored too many goals to leave out the team.

But Shaw scores goals as well and is still young. I hope he stays in our squad this season... but we do need another striker.

[Franck Stanton]

For what he would cost in possible (transfer) fee and wage, I don't think we could attract anyone better for the same money. Proven goal scorer in Scottish Football & with either Doidge or Flo as a strike partner think he would do well

Notts Forest have given up on Cummings and want him to **** off rather than pay him £10k per week for the next year..
However, nobody else is willing to pay Jason similar money because he is at best a £3k per week player and his loan spells have been a failure.
Accordingly he will remain at Forest for the last year of his contract and collect circa £500k.
That is unless Forest will pay him a good percentage of the remainder of his contract.

Lets say Hibs are happy to pay Forest £100k and to give Jason a £3k a week contract.
That leaves Jason down £7k a week for this season which is circa £350k.
Forest then offer Jason £250k to GTF which he accepts to get playing football again.
Jason now down £100k on the deal and Forest £150k down but a lot better off than the the scenario were Jason stays for the final year of his contract.
Time as usual will tell.

Similarly Aberdeen have given up on May and similarly young Mr May has a very nice contract which is well beyond his playing worth.
He is hanging on like a bear for the pay off before trundling back to St Johnstone.
His appalling injury at Preston has robbed him of his edge and sadly a very average career will now be played out.
Aberdeen made a massive mistake signing the kid after that injury (circa £300k transfer and contract to match).
Ouch! Ouch! Ouch!

Stevie May at St J was a fine player.

He seems a shadow of his former self.

Really bad injury never recovered from it

[The_Horde]

If JC hadn't played for hibs he'd be getting the same treatment most of Heckys signings have had so far from most.

He's done. Be pairing up with Goodwillie in the lower leagues in 2 years.

It was a horrific knee ligament injury.
Didn't play for 15 months.

Almost 4 years has now passed since the injury and the pre injury Stevie May isn't coming back.

Cummings iirc didn't score any goals in the Premiership until the play-offs against Hamilton. Oli Shaw has and is learning his trade in the Premiership. Cummings hasn't really had a prolonged spell in the top division only a so-so period with the Huns.

[The 90+2]

We have a percentage of his next transfer secured which will work in our favour if we want him back. If it’s undisclosed to say hearts we will still be due a percentage of that.

I think the way it’s panning out and how he’s being touted up here for the last few weeks, Jason will sign for us and switch the sell on in the future. Forest would rather deal with us for that reason.

Gerrard chose not to extend Cummings' time there which suggests he doesn't rate him, so it would be a surprise if he ends up there.

Cummings free to find a new club...surely we should be bringing him home before hearts grab him

I think that is where he’ll end up.

[Captain Trips]

If he is on 10kpw I know we are not going to pay that and I wouldn't want us to. Depending on his offers we would still likely have to give him a pretty hefty wage and IMO I would rather we take a punt at a different option.

It will only be a percentage of any profit and they are not going to make a profit on him.

Some teams just suit players - Hibs and Cummings are made for each other. The sooner he realises that the better.

Bring him home and he WILL score goals - he may not start every game but he is still a natural finisher.

[Since90+2]

Allan and Cummings worked well together before.

This.

Don't get this "unproven at SPFL level" chat. Jason has scored goals whenever he has faced teams from the Premier division in a Hibs shirt. He would score plenty for us in the Prem with Scotty Allan and others slotting him in.

We should be doing everything to get him back IMO

[BILLYHIBS]

God on high
Hear my prayer
He is young
He is only a boy
Bring him home

If it came down to Cummings or McNulty on 3 year deals who would you choose?

I'd take Cummings..

McNulty.

If it came down to having Shaw or Cummings in the squad then it’s no contest on that one.

[BILLYHIBS]

Cannae criticise McNultys work ethic but Jase is the better finisher I also thought in his brief spell with the Hun Jase seemed to have improved his work on the ball outside the box and his all round play

Saying that not too fussed about either tbh.

If either happen they happen if they dinnae they dinnae

In Hecky we trust.

[The Spaceman]

I would love it if he came back, if anything because he is a maverick and a real character. It is concerning he has pretty much done nothing since leaving us, but then again so did Scott Allan. Sometimes players must fit and I would have JC over Oli Shaw any day of the week.
