What midfielders do you play, and where? If you play 2 strikers, which 2 play as a pair? If you play 1 striker, which combination of 3 do you go with? Vela's credentials are good, we all know how good Allan is but what about the rest? Are they top 6 midfielders? What if we get an injury or two there, as often happens with players who play in that position?
It's the most important part of the team, and I'd be surprised if most of the teams in our league aren't in better shape than us in that department.
Our midfield problems were the biggest reason behind us being 8th at Christmas last season and we needed the signings of Omeonga and McNulty to turn our season around.
Hopefully we signs of things starting to come together tomorrow but if anyone thinks we are ready to go into the league season with what we've got, I think they're the one who has lost the nut.

From that same period when we went 13 games unbeaten we have the same defence plus James and Jackson with Porteous also returning. That's stronger surely?
Up front it's more difficult to tell at the moment as we've replaced McNulty with Doidge so far.
I agree with you that we need at least one more quality midfield player in and another striker but I think you're being a little dramatic with predictions of doom.

No McNulty or Omeonga unless we sell...

Otherwise, surely there'd be no issue with pursuing deals that have a 10% chance of happening? I wonder who's on the radar.

Strikers are ok.
I just think the midfield looks light (without knowing much about Vela). I don't see much graft, muscle, industry or battle in there. Some tidy footballers yes, but in a physical league I think almost any combination of our current players would be dominated by most of the teams in our league. Even some of the weaker teams have a a few grizzly old pros.

That was from bbc earlier. I take that, and the latest news, as we're done with those 2 rather than done altogether. I am hoping to see another couple in, midfielder and winger/striker (i think we will sign someone who can play both positions).

The striker is the intriguing one for me, although if the rumours about our interest in Cummings (plus our well reported pursuit of McNulty) are true, then it seems that it's a poacher we're after, rather than an inside forward/winger.

Our interest in Moon surely suggests we are looking to add another attacking player. Keep forgetting Slivka exists as well so he’s still to come back in midfield.

Hopefully we can add some more of that. I'm sure we will.

I'm quietly hopeful that Slivka surprises everyone this season by producing his best football more regularly. With it being his third season in Scotland and potentially playing for a new contract or move, it's really make or break for Vyk.

From what I’ve seen so far, I don’t think we will challenge the top four. Mid table at best. That is unless we add some proven quality in the attacking areas.

https://youtu.be/3Xa9cdN1yxc the interview where he says we’re done if anyone hasn’t seen it.
FWIW I think he’s at it, he will still want another couple of players in and will he hoping to call other teams bluff (Genona and Reading).
Fully expect another defensive minded midfielder, winger and striker.
A couple will depart I would imagine although I’m not convinced our squad is big enough to allow that. Whittikar is the only one I wouldn’t mind leaving. I wouldn’t get rid of Slivka or Shaw are they’re back up, young and will do a job when called upon.
Slicka gets stuck but always seems to pop up in the big occasion. Shaw is young and has shown he can score goals, he just needs a confidence boost.
We have the making of a good squad, a couple more shrewd acquisitions of quality and in the right areas which make us well balanced will make us look very good imo.

Quicker the season starts proper the better. A few wins and this place will go back to 20 people having nice chats.

If that's our transfer business done, we are f***d! We will be mid to lower table. We will play nice football against the lower teams, probably draw, and lose to the Uglies, Hertz and the Sheepies. We still need at least 2 marquee signings. If our new owners have any ambition, now is the time to show it. Otherwise we are going to play catch up for years!

I am going out on a limb here and say that Hibs will sign a few more players this window.
