Hearts have enquired after him though. He's not a clown. Cummings... ?♂️ Sorry...thought you meant Tyler. Not...him... agree with Tyler.

We're not hibs. Arseholery isn't tolerated and I think if Levein is able to control Lafferty, Cummings wouldn't be difficult to manage. He's getting to that point where his career could go by the wayside. I think coming to a club he wants to play for (he's a hearts fan ffs) would give him plenty of motivation to succeed. The fans wouldn't take to him straight away, but if he hit the ground running I'm sure he'd win everyone over. Shame is, I think he's tried to get back a couple times and Levein has KB'd him each time. Still think Mark O'Hara would be an ideal signing given Peterborough don't want him anymore. Problem with Cummings is he's not a lone striker and doesn't seem able to play (and score regularly) as part of a partnership at any level higher than the Scottish Championship, in terms of creating chances or space for other players. He's almost 24 now - career seems to have totally stalled and goals pretty much dried up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inch Hearts Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 4 minutes ago, ToqueJambo said: Never heard of him. Is he an attacking or defensive mid? Seems to have played both. If he's attacking Walker has a much, much better pedigree and would bring something different to the team. If he's a more defensive mid, we have Haring and Bozanic and Smith can play there. I can see why Hibs might be interested to replace Milligan or one of their countless other midfielders who just left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don’t watch Scottish football much then he was brilliant for Dundee. I never said he was better than Walker either as far as I can recall? He’s also not an attacking midfielder and has played a lot more down south than Jamie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Considering we've had strikers like Muirhead, Watt or Sammon that couldn't score in a brothel, that would rank him comfortably above them. But, then again, Lafferty had never had a season like he had with us, so previous means very little. I think theres every chance he could come here and hit 15+ Because he's a fan I think we'd get a bit extra effort from him and then couple that with the dislike many of us have for him, and him no doubt knowing he'd need to win the fans over. We've persevered with one up front and failed miserably. I think bringing in players capable of player other systems would be beneficial. Can you imagine him and Uche up front? Lot of success from the little and large set up. I'd bring in Clark, O'Hara, Walker, Cummings and finances permitting Lafferty. All would improve us considerably.

He’s not the most physical and when he’s moved down to England things haven’t really fallen for him. Maybe didn’t have the big strike partner he needs because he’s certainly not a lone striker type. As I said above, he’s a natural finisher, a poacher, he knows where the goal is, big Uche will take defenders away, Naisy and Walker will create chances, he’d score goals here.
