Player you would like to see at ER

[shetlandhibee]

Butcher will bring in his own players and there will be a lot of players leaving this summer. Who do you think should leave and who should he bring in? Also which area do we need to strengthen?

i think we need to get sell of James Collins, Paul heffernan, Alan maybury, Ross Caldwell, Danny Handling. And stop the loans of Zoubir possibly Boateng and maybe Haynes.

and bring in: Paul Paton, Michael O'Halloran, Cameron Smith, Nicky Riley/Watmore.

Keep Hanlon, Forster, Craig, Robertson, Harris, Stanton and Stevenson (as a squad player).

Not bothered about the rest but they won't all go due to contracts. Any who are out of contract at end of season should not be offered a new deal as we need all the money we can get to fund new signings

We should sign a GK, RB, LB, centre half, a winger, a defensive mid, a creative mid and two strikers. That would be 9 new players but I can''t see us getting that many though to make an impact we need 6 firxt XI ready players to come in. To make up the squad we'll have whoever we can't get rid of from the group I mention in the second paragraph and get any promising young players promted to the first team.

The lad Darren Mcgregor at St Mirren has impressed me whenever he plays. He's a good Centre half.

We need to move on, he should be shown the door like many others. The just cant cut it, simples!!!

Won't matter who TB brings in.... They will be built up, have a poor game and then slaughtered by some on this forum. Guaranteed.

Are you sure that you want to let Butcher bring his own players in? You don't seem too impressed with his judgement so far.

[madabouthibs]

I'd like TB to keep all the players we have for now, and maybe work on sorting out this mental problem that players seem to quickly adopt when they join Hibs. We seem to have the ability to turn decent and rated SPFL players into dross in 6 months, and turn U20's double winning promising youngsters into lightweight hiding quivering wrecks in a season!!

Yeah I just feel that he had to rush some quick fixes in at the dying seconds of the window but I'm being very harsh and have not seen much of them yet. Just feel boateng can't mark very well lost el algiue for uniteds third and for the highlights was the same against Ross county. Not sure about Haynes yet

[shetlandhibee]

Watmore seem ace though

Unfortunately this is probably the standard of player we will bring in, but having said that it's probably better that Loan players don't set the heather alight as it takes us out of the equation when it comes to keeping them if they do. I would bet that Watmore isn't here next season.

Add another two fullbacks and striker to that list.

[Wakeyhibee]

Someone (a few preferably) who can play football

[BOB MARLEYS DUG]

A good Goalkeeper to replace Big Ben.
Solid CB x2.
Attacking fullbacks who can also defend.
Pacey, Tricky winger or two.
Creative Central Midfielder.
A pacey striker who can score goals.
An out and out goalscorer.

I think your selection here makes a very interesting point: If we were to have two quality full-backs who were quick and effective coming forward I think it would be a massive influence on our play.

It's also one of those things that can give you that "extra man" when we're attacking - something we seem to lack so often when we just don't get enough players forward in support quickly enough.

It would also paint in a different light the selection of an excellent player (craig) in a right or left midfield position. If we had a full-back who was regularly bombing past him up the wing perhaps it would help bring the best out of Craig and also allow him to be relieved of central, more defensive midfield duties? So I agree with you - two quality overlapping full-backs with pace should be top of the shopping list.

As for your other selections: I really like the thought of giving our home-grown duo of Forster and Hanlon an extended opportunity together at CB. Still need another though with McGivern reserve left CB.

I think Stanton is most effecting playing just off the central striker. I'd rather not see him as a main central midfielder. So - in modern parlance - he could be an ideal "false number 9".

I'd love us to keep Thomson for exactly the role you suggest. We can't afford to jettison players of his quality - even if they've lost a bit of pace. He can pass a football. If we had more quality players around him making runs I think we'd see him pass the ball forward more. If TB doesn't keep Thomson then we should keep Taiwo instead. I really like Robertson.

I think Harris has real quality and pace and will come good again. Not sure yet about Heff. Cummings still quite raw but hopefully will come good. I still don't think Danny H will make it at Hibs I'm afraid - even though he is a good footballer.

So - a goalkeeper, two pacy full-backs, a centre-back (to give Forster competition) a pacy winger (to give Harris competition) and two strikers could be the minimum needed I feel.

.........................New keeper

New full-back..Forster..Hanlon..New Full-back

.....Craig.....Robertson..Thomson..Harris
.................................((Taiwo)
.................Stanton
...........................New Striker

Subs: Murdoch, Stevenson, New centre-back, Tudur-Jones, New winger, Collins, New striker

Leaving out-of contract: Williams, Maybury, Clancy, McPake, Cairney, Taiwo, Caldwell
Leaving on-loan players: Zoubir, Haynes, Watmore, Boateng
Can move on: Nelson, Handling

Scott Hogan for sure BMD. The guy knows where the goals are. 3 hat tricks this season I believe. We would have to move quick and a fee would be required.

Moussa is also a very good player and is doing well for City. Pacy skillful and again knows where the goal is.

Agree re Shinnie and Taylor as well.

I still get the feeling TB will bring in a few unknowns and folk will right them off.

[Aldo]

We may see Watmore again on a seasons long loan but think it'll be the pre season before that is sorted.

Very highly rated at Sunderland and they want him to get game time.

Hopefully this can get sorted

That's not a "false 9". It's just a "10".
