Colin Calderwood interviewed on SSN today at a charity run in Glasgow.
Talks about how he is really looking forward to the celtic game on the first day of the season (not the interview of a man looking to move!).
Spoke about the new signings, o'connor and sproule having the exprience he is looking for having previously played for the club and o'hanlon who he has been tracking over the years but has now only been able to get/afford him.
Talks about future transfer targets and how the top end of the team still needs to be strengthened. Did say that he feels he has 3 or 4 midfielders who could do a job there though.....(Sproule, Galbraith, Wotherspoon?........Edwin?!!)
Also said it was difficult with English teams being back in pre-season in July with regards to securing any loan targets. Obviously has a couple of loan signings high on his list.
Decent enough interview and all seemed to be pretty positive stuff.

I was just wondering, why do you have Kyle Lafferty on the back of your Hibs shirt on your Avatar?

We need another striker or 2 IMHO, playing W'spoon or Galbraith up front doesnt fill me with much confidence..

I'm a bit concerned we only seem to be talking about one or two more. We need a lot more than that!

We've got 19 players just now that I would consider to be first team players, with another 3 or 4 younger players who will probably go out on loan next season.
That will probably mean another two or three signings at the most.
I do agree with Andy74, though, in that we need a bit more than just a couple more players before the summer window closes.
I've consistently spoken about another five or six new players and I think that's about right.
I don't see us signing that many though, nowhere near it in fact.

Well, he doesn't sound like a guy who's already got one foot out the door to me...
Nor does it seem that RP signed Garry O behind CC's back as some have alleged.

I remember my mate in the pub quizzing me about it over a couple of pints.
"Is it not a bit risky, mate?"
"Nah, not at all, it's pretty easy to play them off against each other"
"Aye, but is it not hard to tell them apart?"
"Nah, there's a simple way to tell them apart............Michelle's got blonde hair and Martin's got a moustache"
"Play for the name on the front of the jersey and the supporters will remember the name on the back"

I think that we need five or six new players, added on to the squad that we have already.

3 or 4 more would sound right to me, and obviously replace anyone else we get rid of.

I am slowly getting optimistic for next season and I think that 2 or 3 very good signings will do us for next season in all honesty...

I think we need 2 more strikers as well. We only have 2 at the moment and I think we need at least one more striker who will be a first team pick to compete with O'Connor and Sodje, with one more to be a good squad player.
I would like to see one more centre half coming in too. I'm guessing that O'Hanlon and Hanlon will be our first choice centre backs but with David Stephens being our only other option in this position, I think we need someone else in there.
I would also like to see an attacking midfielder coming in to the club, someone who is comfortable going forward and can score around 10 goals per season. I don't think we have that at the moment.
de Graaf-No danger.
Stevenson-Scores about one goal every five years.
Galbraith-Only scored once for Hibs in over 40 appearances.
Palsson-Doesn't strike me as being a goalscoring midfielder.
Scott-Not a goalscorer.
Thornhill-Wouldn't have said so.
Welsh-Don't know much about him so maybe.
Sproule-Not a prolific goalscorer.
Wotherspoon-Unlikely to pose a great goalscoring threat.
That would take us to five new players and considering that we only have two senior goalkeepers at the moment, I think we may need one more goalie in as backup to the main two, although it's not a must.

Priority is right back and up front IMHO at the moment And if we can add a player who is comfortable operating behind the strikers and getting onto the end of things I'd be very happy!!
