Would fans take Commons back as a player coach ? The player part of the contract being pay as you play?
No idea but seemingly that is what he is keen on.
Yes, I would take Commons as long as he was deemed fit enough to play most of our games. IMO we need experience in our midfield and he certainly would provide this. a top player who has played at a high level and scored goals from midfield regularly.

Hearing 2k per week basic inc coaching, 1k per week appearance fee
We don’t need yet another midfielder who is going to be unreliable because of injury.

I really hope Hibs land him. Commons has a lot of quality and experience to bring. he is also a goal threat and expert dead ball taker. He had an outstanding month with us last season after everyone doubted his lack of fitness and particularly match fitness. How many games would he really be expected to play anyway with the trend for squad rotation these days.
Bottom line: Commons is of a quality higher than most of the Hibs squad - these are the type of players that will raise standards. Get him in.

That's how I'm thinking bud and surely as Jack commented on hibs are an elite football club and won't splash out thousands per week on a crock and all medical tests will be done
I don't doubt that commons isn't as fit as he was two or three years ago but that doesn't mean he's finished and a crock even if he was as fit as he could be he still would struggle to get game time at sellick

Kris Commons admits he could RETIRE as he contemplates next career move after leaving Celtic
The 33-year-old has been linked with a move to Hibs – where he spent a month on loan between December and January.
But he told BBC Scotland he is considering hanging up his boots.
He said: “I’ll reflect on what has been and what is next going forward.
“I haven’t been fit enough to play.
“I get to a half decent level of fitness then I have to take a step back.
“I had a good stint at training October, November, December, went on loan to Hibs, but as soon as I came back that’s when I started feeling the back again.
“It’s a very niggly injury that has caused me a lot of problems over the year.
“I still feel I’ve got a little bit in me if I can get to a good level of fitness, but I’ve not been able to get to that top level to get into this team.”
“There are plenty of options out there and that’s not just football. It’s the other side as well, coaching, media. There’s plenty of doors open.
If he doesn't think he is going to be fit enough to play a real part why would we consider wasting money on him. I don't get it :dunno:

If his back problems where that much of a problem then we'd surely not be taking the risk of signing him and making him one of the highest earners at the club no?If he's to sign Lennon and the fans would be expecting him to play a good majority of the games throughout the season.If Commons proves his fitness he'd be a fantastic signing.His back problems aren't easy to resolve therefore it's a huge risk, as I said I would rather we used that money elsewhere.
This is exactly my thoughts, I find it incredulous others think a half fit Commons could do a job for Hibs. We certainly won't be in a position that will allow us to pick and choose his games. We found the Championship a chore, the SPL will require a strong fit squad with no passengers.
I'm more thinking a fit Commons for at least half our games when folk say half fit!
As I said earlier the club will have it sussed before the contract is typed up so if we sign him the odds are he'll be up for it and the club will get value for money.
Not for me, good player no doubt at all.
But in his position, fitness wise, we should not entertain the deal. I would rather play F Murray.

Get him in. Training, fit, then sign him as a free agent later
Hope he doesn't $#@! off in the process, he has enough money to look after himself while we help him along.
