Summer transfer targets

Liam Craig has been quite impressive.
Sorry, it's more like Benji free, Zemmama £500k, Bamba £1m (at best). Anyone watching Bamba for the last 2-3 months would have a hard job getting £1m out of their chairman - nevermind £3m!

We won't get any money for Benji as he's out of contract in the summer and will leave for free.

Liked the look of Craig though

Agree with the thoughts on Craig, been really impressed with him in the last couple of games but as another ex-Falkirk player there'll be an outcry from many on here.
I think some folk on here think that signing a player is as easy is it is on Football Manager, search for RB's in Europe, put in the wage bracket and hey presto take your pick and they'll come.
Of course John Hughes wanted some players in, David Gray of Man Utd was one but would've come at a cost that the club didn't think was value for money. I'm sure we'll be back in for him come the summer. Likewise if Falkirk are relegated then I'm sure that Arfield will come back into his thoughts.
There's others of which Hughes would've wanted but was either knocked back by the player, the players club or the Hibs Board...there will be some names we'll never know about as well.
I'm a realist, being right in the mix for 3rd place is probably above expectations considering last season. Instant success was never going to happen, it's a tough league and I'm still confident that we'll see this right to the wire.
IMO Miller being sent off incorrectly last week and Saints keeper not being sent off yesterday has cost us.

Thought Liam Craig was the best player on the park yesterday; always looking to pass & move; he's also bigger than 5' 6"!!

Players I would like to see leave are
Riordan, Stevenson, Rankin, Gow, Stack.
Players I hope still have a future at Hibs but can't see them being here next season are
Bamba, Benji, Zemmama, McCann, Thicot, Maka.
Players I think will definitely leave are
Bamba, Benji, Zemmama, Maka. We will get a lot of money for Bamba and I'd be surprised if a deal hasn't been done already, we will get some for Zemamma but probably not as much as we'd like.
And if I was putting together a wish list, I would be looking to sign an experienced right back and two good quality central midfielders.
I would try and get Mark Wilson from Celtic as he is wasted on their bench, would make another attempt to sign Scott Arfield from Falkirk and I like Scott Robertson at Dundee United.
A squad like this could do well in the SPL....if we have a decent pitch for them to play on obviously!
Keepers - Smith, Brown, Maka, Flynn
Defenders - McCann, Willson, Hogg, Thicot, Hanlon, McCormack, Murray, Moyes, Booth.
Midfielders - Wotherspoon, Arfield, Robertson, McBride, Miller, Rankin, Welsh, Currie.
Attackers - Stokes, Nish, Byrne, Galbraith, Benji & Zemmama (I hope), Riordan & Gow (more likely)

I can see us signing Gow permanently in the summer as Yogi clearly rates him and I think both Riordan and Rankin will be at ER at least until the end of their current deals as I can't see any team paying money for them.

Size ten out the door - Nish. If Yogi gives him another contract it will be the worst business since monkey heid gave Zibi another three years. Others out the door - Maka and Stevenson.

If we were talking about the Riordan from his first spell at ER then I'd agree with you 100% but I'm afraid that player is gone, if Yogi can bring that player back then we have one of the best forwards in the country but on current form he shouldn't be anywhere near the team.
Its about time we were picking players based on what they actually do on the pitch not what they are potentially capable of.

not sure if craig would want to come, yogi seemed to freeze him out at Falkirk and let him go to St johnstone, ironically he used to be part of the jambos youth system before he decided to head down to ipswich

With the likelihood that Benji will not sign another deal and Gow's loan finishing, another striker maybe.

Next season's squad, with all the players that I think will leave omitted from the list;
Graeme Smith
Graham Stack
Mark Brown
Thomas Flynn (season long loan at lower league club)
Ian Murray
Chris Hogg
Steven Thicot
Kevin McCann (depends on how his rehab comes along)
Paul Hanlon
Sol Bamba (perhaps depends on how well he does at the World Cup)
Lee Currie (season long loan at lower league club)
Kevin McBride
Liam Miller
David Wotherspoon
Danny Galbraith
John Rankin
Sean Welsh (season long loan at lower league club)
Colin Nish
Derek Riordan
Anthony Stokes (hope a big offer doesn't come in for him)
Away will probably be;
Makalambay
McCormack
Zemmama
Cregg
Stevenson
Benjelloun
Gow
Stokes and Bamba are possibilities for leaving and McCann may be released if he doesn't have any luck with regaining fitness.
I have no idea who we will sign.

Although i don't want it to happen it wouldn't make a difference if we were to sell Galbraith for good as he isn't getting a look-in anyway for some bizzare reason.

I'd like to see us move on Makalamby, Stevenson, McCormack, Cregg, Nish, McCann, Thicot and Benji. Nish, Thicot, McCann and Benji have run their course at Hibs and need a move to get their careers going again, the rest are just pants.
I'd like to see us bring in a couple of right backs so Wortherspoon can play right midfield, a centre half, a big bustling pacy striker and hopefully Bryne will get some more game time.
