    Football playing centre half cover for Hanlon is top priority. The alternative Daz & Porteous combo is rough. What a season Hanlon is having. Would also like to see Findlay of Kilmarnock teed up for next season on a pre-contract given Daz will almost certainly stop playing.
    Second priority is a goalscoring striker as cover for our current 2 forwards although strikers don't keep well on ice. They need regular game time to stay sharp so might get away with putting this off and playing Gullan and Boyle as and when required.

    Centre mid for me. Get away with it against teams in the bottom half but against the better sides we are too easy to play through in the middle.
    Need a centre half as well. Happy with our forward options.
    We can do nothing and still finish 4th, so it’s about improving our fortunes against top teams in order to do something in the cups. For that I think we need to improve centre mid.

    I dont think a CH will be added. Gogic will be the additional cover if needed

    I do think that Jamie Gullan needs to be playing more regularly at this stage of his career. Another forward option with Jamie going on loan to a bottom 6 SPL team or top of the championship should be arranged. Great hopes for Jamie but playing 15 mins once a week will stifle his chances.

    Agreed, but only in the unlikely event we can sign someone who is an upgrade and the long term answer. Hopefully Hallberg’s emergence the last two games can see us through to the end of the season and I’d keep the January money for midfield towards our summer budget.

    Minor work this window in addition to not losing anyone at all would be much better. IMO.

    We were looking threadbare not long back and three crap results followed. I mean if any of Lewis, Joe Newell, Paul McGinn, Ryan Porteous or Christian Doidge took a knock today for instance? I like a hungry squad but also one with lots of options. There’s room for one or two.
    Posted this on the January Transfer Window thread (merge?) after JR's Friday presser.....
    JR asked if he expects to be busy during the Jan window.
    Says he will be active to some extent as he looks to strengthen depth in a couple of areas and keep the squad fresh but not overly busy and it will also depend on what moves out.

    I know 30 is the new 27 in football but I want us to focus on youth and resale

    Same. Striker and a CB for cover will do me.

    I’d like to see us secure Campbell and Findlay on pre contracts. Bring in a back up striker and Gullan to go on loan to a Hamilton, Ross county or Dunfermline. Pretty happy with what we have.

    I like the look of manny duku at raith, I did think he was younger than 27 so maybe not prepared to be 3rd choice but could be his last chance at a decent sized club, think he looks the part in championship great goal against them as well

    Gullan will get more experience training with us and playing 15-20mins/week than he would playing 90 for dross like Hamilton.
    Not in favour of him moving out on loan. His chance for more game time will come. Doidge/Nisbet are not indestructible and he is a more than capable deputy.
    Campbell's stock is in decline. Not that impressed tbh. Not seen much of Findlay but from what I have seen he just looks like a carthorse huddie rather than a footballer.

    Campbell is now in a struggling team. He’d be dynamite in our midfield.

    Completely agree. Not many people mentioning a centre mid as a priority but its the first position I'd be looking at. Someone disciplined who can tackle and move the ball on please.

    The last two weeks have been great but I honestly can't see us winning many big matches with a midfield duo of Newell and Hallberg.

    Not sure of the position but we need a real leader on the pitch. For all Paul Hanlon brings on the pitch he isn't a leader.
    We need a Scott Brown,Yogi or Shinnie
    type who drives us on. We still get bullied in too many games.

    Physical but not a leader. Nipping at the ref. Driving team mates on when it is going against us etc.

    We can still be too boy band like.

    Hopefully Magennis is that midfielder you refer to. Ross must think so, having splashed out cash and given the guy a five year contract. If he can come into the side and make an impact, that will be a huge bonus.

    I suspect there won’t be much action at Hibs during this transfer window. Cash is surely very tight and unless we see players leaving, I don’t think there will be any big moves, although I wonder if we will see some of the guys out of contract moving on?

    Gullan should be staying at Hibs, he’s getting close to a starting place and needs to be here in order to stake his claim. Not averse to young Doig going on loan, we have cover enough there with Stevenson
    and Mackie

    I can’t agree with that at all. Porteous, Hanlon, Doidge, Nisbet, Marciano, Boyle and the like all show leadership and determination.

    Since Stubbs took over we never were “boy band”. It’s a horrible phrase created by an egotist who wanted to look big when our 15/16 squad showed a huge deal of determination and grit and when given the chance to show it they still do - see yesterday, sorting themselves out the week before, breaking quickly out of a drop in form and the 2-2 game vs Rangers.


    Do you think your security can keep you in purity, you will not shake us off above or below. Scottish friction, Scottish fiction

    Agree, there are plenty of determined characters at Hibs, no shortage of leadership on or off the field. It’s not a phrase I would use to describe this side at all.

    Centre midfield is about the last position we currently need.

    This nonsense comes out all the time. Ask the players if he’s a leader. When was the last time we were bullied?

    I’m not so sure either. It’s certainly my priority in the summer but the emergence of Halberg the last two games (although I didn’t see either) could be like a new signing and see us through to the summer. The collection of central midfielders have largely struggled against the better teams, particularly Aberdeen, last season and this season. I’d probably keep our budget for the summer or a pre contract than sign a short term loan in January for midfield.

    The boy band thing was a bit of a sensationalist headline at the time of his appointment.....Lennon was referring more to the team over the years, particularly under Mowbray when we would beat Celtic one week and then lose to Motherwell the next. He actually praised Stubbs team for showing great character to win the cup after losing to Falkirk.

    By that logic Pat Stanton wasn't a leader either. Sometimes players just lead by example & by having the total respect of their colleagues. I did however notice that it was Paul who got in Bobby Madden's face after the soft pen award to Celtc.
