Massive window for us this summer with a new manager and desperate need of new faces and quality in the team.
Looking at out of contract players in Scotland there could be a couple of steals that would be shrewd business
Chris Cadden
Joe Shaugnessy
Craig Halkett
Curtis Main
Cammy Kerr
Lawrence Shankland
Tony Watt
Think in that last Cadden, Shaugnessy, Halkett and Shankland would be brilliant signings. The others would be good additions imo and add good squad depth.
I know some might raise there eyebrow at Main however he is an absolute handful to play against and never stops working, sometimes I think our attacking make it a bit too easy for the opposition.
Cammy Kerr is a player I have always rated and is still young, very rarely see someone get the better of him.
We also have the following out of contract/loan expiring
Nelom
Gray
McGregor
Bartley
Bigi
McNulty
Johnson
Gauld
Bogdan
Omeonga
Aygepong

We need SDG on a new contract asap. I think Leeann said in her recent interview something like we should be keeping him at Hibs until he retires from playing and beyond. It would be a bit of a coup for Heckingbottom if we got a new deal agreed.

Makes a massive difference to our team when fit.
Only issue is he never tends to be fit too often.

I hope we are aiming a little higher than the original posters suggestions bar Shankland and Halkett. The other players mentioned IMO would be squad players.
I do agree it’s a huge window for us though.

Jake Hastie on his last few performances and he's out of contract in the summer

He needs to prove between now and the end of the season that he can go string 15-20 games together. We all want David Gray to stick around forever but if he can’t prove his fitness then I don’t fancy going in to next season relying on an unreliable 31 year old for that position.

Get players in as soon as possible to play in certain positions and have a great ore season behind us. None of this all the best players become available at the end of the window pish.
I’ve every confidence PH will use our budget very wisely and make no excuses.

I'd give Gray a new contract but I'd be bringing in a new first choice. Not reliable enough to be kept as our first pick rb

Obviously we should aim as high as possible but I think it’s important to look at players in the league who have performed well. Also weakening the teams around us.
Shaugnessy and Halkett would be an improvement on Hanlon imo and McGregor is getting on a bit now.
Cammt Kerr would be good cover for when Gray is injured which is inevitable.
I think it’s important we get good squad depth this next season as it’s been our biggest downfall this season

The lad Hastie certainly seems to have burst onto the scene from nowhere, but I've a feeling if his form continues he'll be courted by better off clubs than Hibs. As for Curtis Main …. he has Gorgie stamped all over him, just the kind of player Levin loves and I wouldn't be in the slightest bit surprised to see Hertz chase him.

Whoever that winger for Motherwell is scored first against yams he looks very good

I'm sure everyone agrees that players in early is a big benefit but there is some merit to the argument that the quality of player we're after is often a player who's going to wait and see what options are on the table rather than accepting an offer from Hibs early in the window.
Simply put the kind of player I want to see in a Hibs jersey should have aspirations to Championship level in England quality wise which comes with wages a lot ahead of our budget.
Genuine question - do you disagree that players do that? If not I'm interested in what point the compromise comes.
I guess one option is to focus more strongly on finding John McGinn style players where we get what is effectively a multi-million pound player for Hibs wages :)
Bright side is that I genuinely feel we have that with Allan on the pre-contract.

Fwiw I really like him as a player. Never say die attitude and his fines levels are immense.

Hamilton's Mickel Miller looked a tricky wee player from the highlights. What was the verdict over the 90 from those there?

I mentioned on the match thread that he looked dangerous, had our left on toast a few times but I felt Lewis did well against him. Would certainly have a second look at him.

Lewis turned things around second half so much so he got a well deserved hand shake from PH at full time but to me honours about even over the piece
Mickel Miller could be the tricky fast goal scoring fans favourite winger we are looking for
