Will sign for Hibs as soon as he's fit

So he'll be fit if and when he comes here.
 
Is he with us to get fit?
May as well be training with the squad?
 
That's good of him,Do Hibs know this?
 
He had a back operation this week. He and Lennon have agreed he will rejoin us if he gets fit again.
 
Interview is on STV2 tonight at 10.50pm

Seemingly not as long as you would think?
 
Great news.
 
We'd have some team if him and Stokes were to sign,splashing the cash....
 
Not convinced. A year older and slower in a higher league.

But potentially fully fit for first time in a couple of years.
 
I really hope this doesn't mean we aren't getting Hendo.

No way are we getting Commons, Stokes and Henderson.

2 out of 3 max

Why not mate?

Cause Carlsberg don't do transfer windows

Never know tbh, Commons is ways away, we'll still pay another fee somewhere I think because I don't think we'll break our wage structure for any of them.
 
Haven't seen the interview but here's my tuppence worth:

Kris Commons is a terrific player and if fully fit would be a big asset for us in our first season back. An experienced goalscoring midfielder who has played at a high level. Why then am I so unconvinced about all of this ? First of all there is the vagueness of it all. He has stated apparently that he will sign for Hibs if he gets fit. This implies that there is a chance he may never be fit again to play football. Back surgery is a serious and complicated procedure and things must have been bad because most doctors and surgeons are reluctant to operate on a back unless they absolutely have to. The other thing is when is he going to be fit again ?...he not only needs to recover properly from the op he then needs to get himself fit to play top level football then play a few games to get some sharpness back. He hasn't played a competitive game since he left Hibs in January.

I really hope Lennon is not holding back on what would be a considerable wage for a player like Commons to see if and when the guy is able to play for us..to the detriment of possibly signing other players who could come in straight away and who are fit and hungry to play.

Don't want to sound a doom and gloomer on all this...I rate Commons highly..I just can't help having some real doubts about this one.

I understand your concern.

But he's not going to sign till he's fit. Costs us nothing.

It's been suggested on here it's two grand a week and one grand appearance money. When he's fit.

I'd say that was a bargain for a player of his ability. And nowt if he doesn't play.

I can't see we've got that much to lose.
 
Just seen the full interview and it's clear he's not interested in mucking us about. He also said the stitches seen on social media are already out. He's moved into film production which was the main reason why he was on the show. So we are not going to be his main source of income.

Sounds like he's a friend of Jimmy Carr!
 
Why not mate?

Wages. Add Whittaker, Efe and Swanson and it seems unlikely imo

Studio guest on Sporstsound just now. He has said back operation was 3 weeks ago and was given a timesclae of 6-9 weeks to recover and be playing again. He reckons he is on point with training in gym and could be playing in about 5 weeks. Think he was a bit more cautious saying he is coming to Hibs for definate (not saw the other interview but he referred to it) he had a good time at ER and Hibs are trying to compete in the league, friends with Lennon etc etc.

He says his boots are not dirty enough to be hanging up just yet, sounds promising. I know he is a concern for some but without breaking bank which I doubt we would anyway. We might have a very useful player for the next season and a good model proffessional joining the coaching staff.

I hope we aren't waiting to see if he is going to be fit before we go for other targets. Interesting point was about wages which suggests nothing has been agreed.

We won't sign Hendo in this window mate,if we wait til Jan then we only have to pay compo.

Think it'll be the Lith Mid,Commons and Stokes we end up with

Whatever the conpo would be, we would be as well offering it now? £300k?

We can't get away with it now but he will be free to sign a pre contract in January...its possible that his current employer would prefer more money now for him from down south or elsewhere. Hate these phoney wars between clubs agents and players...

I think that will depend on SJM mate.

Yeah sorry, i meant offer them that in the region of a fee?

Will be amazed if he's still with us at the end of the window.

While Henderson might be free to sign, Celtic will be due a development fee even if he is out of contract. That fee will be substantial, possibly more than we could afford, and if his wage is £7K per week as has been suggested, then his next likely move will be down south.
 
I'll be surprised if he's not.

Me too.

I thought he would be gone this window but not too sure now. He is Celtic daft and will end up there but not right now.price tag is too high and celtic probably know he's not going to go and sit on bench. He is progressing at Hibs, not many players in the Scottish Championship get a national call up.

Have to keep SJM no matter what. He's irreplaceable and the only real quality we have. Dylan is a very good player also, but McGinn is the diamond in the team.
