I’d like to see someone come in as backup but Cummings for one will not want to be backup and seems an unnecessary disruption potential. We'll need more than 2 strikers. Uche and Wighton away, 1 in would make sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain Canada Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 It's very generous calling Wighton a striker - 13 goals in 126 appearances. As a comparison, Halkett has 18 in 156 games. I'd like to see us sign a striker who can head the ball well and wants to attack crosses into the box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He scored a few for Arbroath in the handful of games he played before lockdown, and if crowds are going to be reduced then that's even better for him.

Wages and potential fees that could be reserved for next season’s Premiership season (presuming promotion is a given as everyone says it is). If we were talking about a commanding box to box midfielder we’ve been screaming out for I’d be willing to let bammery slide but bringing someone like him who (as stated previously) has not been prolific for 3 years so and we have no idea if he’s still capable of doing it or not as 3rd choice forward just seems wholly unnecessary.

Fair enough points. Extra credit for using the word bammery. I’m not desperate for him to sign but it’s been proven to be his level and I think he’d score goals. I do agree there are more important positions to fill though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henroddy Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 Naismith and Boyce starters for this coming season. That's a given. But Ive yet to see anyone on here mention the other 2 or 3 strikers we will undoubtedly need for when they both get injured/suspended (just look at last season for the stats).

gnasher75 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 I'd be delighted if we sign Cummings. Definitely need another striker in the squad with Uche going. The other player I would like to see us re-sign is Billy King. He's a similar age to Cummings and was a big part of the Hearts team that won the Championship, with pretty decent stats for goals and assists as I recall. Can't see Robbie signing him given that if memory serves he moved him on from both Hearts and United. But he fits the bill of what he's looking for in a fast direct winger. Younger and in my opinion better than Frear. Like Cummings he hasn't exactly set the heather on fire in the last few years and is currently at St Patrick's (I think) although possibly out of contract with them. I know I'll get pelters for suggesting signing another ex-Hearts player. But the case I would make for him is that since he left none of his replacements have performed as well as he did eg Zanatta, Mulraney, Morrison, etc. I always rated him more highly than Nicholson because he had a better end product and looked to cross more than shoot. Never felt he got a fair crack at Hearts when we got promoted. His confidence may be shot but I don't think he's had any major injury. Would love to see him get the chance to prove himself even just to give him a week or two of training as they did with Frear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My stance on your first paragraph is documented so you were already onto a loss and then I saw the first line of your second paragraph and stopped reading. You’re either on the wind up or just one of these fans that can’t see past former players when it comes to new signing possibilities. Very peculiar behaviour.

gregzy2k7 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 As others have said not a fan of Jason Cummings personality and the baggage that could potentially come with that, However tbf he knows how to bang them in at scottish championship level and we all know that deep down he is one of us, despite him ramming it up us a few times. I for one am on board with this even for just the absolute seethe that it would give to the hibs fans, anything that winds them is fantastic. P.s i would also take hemmings if uche is to leave too.

Jamboj1 Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 If Cummings was to come we would be very unlikely to pay a fee would need him to be released or loaned, elsewhere, Frear deal should get over the line soon, Issue for most clubs us included is due to the pandemic clubs are not looking to offer longer term deals, whereas players are now looking for longer deals to have security and not have worries next year if there’s still issues around the virus etc. Some happier to accept lower terms elsewhere but have a longer contract length which can both go against us but could also work in our favour.

JackLadd Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 Cummings would cost a fee. His move to Shrewsbury was undisclosed but must have been in the 250k region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BackOfTheNet Posted August 16, 2020 Share Posted August 16, 2020 If Cummings is to cost anything in fees and/or be on anything other than a squad player’s wages (as in not first team level) then we should move on. Needless signing in that regard. Not proven at all at Premiership level and we should only be paying fees and decent wages to those we know can do it we get promotion. I do however feel if Ikpeazu leaves we need more depth in the striking department. Roberts is said to be someone who can play there too and maybe for Championship that’ll be fine, along with some younger players like Henderson or McDonald. But if we do bring someone in we’ll be able to do so without fees and in on lower wages that Cummings would demand who’d be able to be decent level of backup. We’d be looking for a Keatings style signing (not him obviously), no need for the unnecessary wage or fee expenditure and unnecessary behavioural risk of Cummings at this time. It’s not a must fill position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you look above your post you’ll see I even mention Henderson and McDonald as a little depth to the forward positions. If you’re referring to my box to box comment I’m talking about a Cameron/Hartley type, if you’re saying Irving is that I’m less than convinced, but I do see his potential, not in that role though. You’ve quoted my comment saying the only time we should even consider a bampot like Cummings (and paying his wage demands) would be if he could play in a position needed rather than just fine in as back up to what we already have.
