Not really the type of player we need

Lot of attacking players getting credit for caley but they couldn't do that without a good defensive midfielder so I think he must have something about him.
Another defensive midfielder though has me a bit concerned, I'm hoping now we don't keep claros or Thomson (and obviously deegan). Having otd, taiwo,stevenson and Robertson that can play that position is too many for a club working with our budget.

If he signs it's a clear indication that neither Claros or Thomson will be staying and I know who I'd prefer. No thanks.

The one point the EEN article makes about him that is different to Hibs midfielders this season is that he is 6' 3 tall. If Williams (who is really a line goalkeeper) is going to continue as #1 then they really need more height in the midfield and forward areas.

I dont think Thomson will stay. Think we'll struggle with Claros too.
A midfield of: Taiwo OTJ Craig, Looks pretty decent.

He has a pretty poor disciplinary record I believe? Did he not stick the nut on a player this season and go in very late on another? Has at least two red cards this season, our entire team this season picked up one.

I think he would do a job for Hibs, a big player in the middle of the park who can do the simple thing and scored a few goals this season would strengthen our team IMO.

unfortunately you are probably right. I would happily see us offload KT and Deegan (and Robertson) though to balance the books and keep Claros

Plenty people have complained about us not matching teams like ICT and St. Johnstone's ability to find good players on a small budget - surely signings such as OTJ and Craig are to be welcomed, as (on paper) they strengthen us and weaken opposition who finished higher than us in the top 4 of the SPL.

OTJ has already signed. Everyone will be signed up prior to pre-season training.

Necessary signing. I don't think fourteen defensive midfielders is excessive.

Central midfielders to me are midfielders, not categorised to defensive or offensive. Could we do with one that's 6'3"? Yes, with the type of teams that we struggle against this is a useful asset to have. He can play a bit and is an international.
Let's not forget he's comfortable in the Highlands - some results up there could be the key to a much higher finish.

On OTJI think he would be a good addition purely because of his height, we really struggle to win goals kicks etc and that little bit of added height would be great in this area and at corners both defending and attacking.
I know people will moan that we have too many of the same players at the moment but I think we need to be patient and wait and see what pans out. As others have said we could lose 2 of those defensive midfielders.
