Hibs just retweeted a tweet from Charleston Battery about Leland Archer. Is the blonde haired player behind him in the pic Thomas Roberts? Is he still here on trail?

We need someone to protect the defence. I'm still unsure on Gogic. I like him and he can break up the opposition play but he's far from a disciplined centre mid. He goes walkabout far too often.
My one hope is that Gogic has been playing this way due to a general lack of energy in our midfield and he has been under instructions to try and bring that to the team. If Magennis can bring that energy then maybe Gogic can just sit and be the player I think we need. That's a possibility but we haven't seen anything yet to think it will happen.

Magennis is just getting up to speed and we have just about every different type of midfielder we need just now with Allan coming back too.
I doubt Ross’s view will be anywhere near yours to be honest. Magennis was the one type he thought we were missing previously. Hallberg and even McGinn are contributing when needed and Newell is probably our best player. Mallan is also kicking about.
The cover elsewhere is needed much more than another midfield player.

I just look at the two matches against Aberdeen, our biggest challengers for third. I know Gogic didn't play in one of those matches, but in both of them Aberdeen found it far to easy to play against us. We need to be harder.

Priorities for me would be bringing in another CB and striker, preferably just a short term deal to help add depth to those positions.
We currently have 7 players who can play centre mid.The only reason I'd be looking at another centre mid is if we were preparing to lose Newell at the end of the season.

Jamie Murphy seems to be getting niggling injuries consistently now, so I hope this current one isn't serious and long term. When he is fit he brings so much to the team with his goals and creativity and is one of the best summer signings. I think it might be worth looking for backup for him for the 2nd half of the season.

I'd also be happy to see Bradley and Gullan given more opportunities in that position, though Bradley seems to favour cutting in on his left.

I can't see us doing a huge amount of business in January given that we spent quite a bit by our standards during the summer and we haven't managed to get the crowds back as we might have hoped we would have by now. Realistically a cheap loan or two to give us some cover until the summer might make sense - a versatile defender and a forward who can also play out wide would be good. In terms of loans you want to get players in who can cover a few positions so that, even if they're not first pick, they get a reasonable chance to get game time and develop themselves while they're here, especially if it's younger players from bigger clubs down south that come in.
Looking longer term, if we're being honest, there's a good chance that we'll sign at least one player who has gone well for St Mirren this season, it just seems to be what we do. Anyway, I mentioned a player called Jake Doyle Hayes on the transfer thread last summer back when we were looking for a midfielder - he was linked to us in a couple of reports but it might have just been agents getting his name out there. In the end he signed at St. Mirren for a year and has been a standout for them in central midfield. It might make sense for us to take a look at him for a pre-contract for next season as he is the right age profile, could have a sell on value in the future and has shown he can do it in this league. Looks like a potential upgrade on Hallberg at the very least and would be available for free.
This thread on the St Mirren forum is a good read in terms of them going from not knowing who he is to being really impressed by him to a sense of resignation that he'll be at Hibs next year in the space of two pages:

McInnes looking to sign Ross Stewart and Allan Campbell, 300k required for the latter.
Both previously linked with us and who I imagine Ross still wants, it will be interesting to see how it develops.
A strong December and us being in a good position in January will be very important for tempting others to join.

Wondered if Archer gave any indication if there’s a chance he’ll sign or not?

Campbell is the one I really want us to get, a great player and the exact type were missing. He would help take us to the next level imo and still only 22 or so, plenty of resale value.
Stewart is a decent enough player but his goal scoring record isn’t the best, not sure I see us paying the amount required as he’d likely be third choice behind Doidge and Nisbet.
He’s mainly been playing off the left/right this season though I think which maybe explains his goal return and why were interested as he’s versatile.

Wages are the real stumbling block for Campbell IMO, but wonder if Motherwell would accept Hallberg and Mallan, instead of cash, in January.Last edited by The Modfather; 13-12-2020 at 10:20 PM.

Newell, Magennis, Allan, Gogic compare well with anything the Aberdeen midfield have. We are still above them and we haven’t really had the benefit of Allan and Magennis yet.
We also have different strengths and don’t have to rely on just a midfield.

You’re unlikely to agree, and that’s fine.

What McInnes says in said drivel publication piece is as follows:
The Aberdeen boss said: “We can’t stress the
importance of having a good December because on the back of that it should allow us to make necessary changes in January.
“Yes, we will be looking at free transfers and loans.
“Players will also need to go outLast edited by CMurdoch; 13-12-2020 at 10:42 PM.

I’d love us to get Campbell, Stewart would be a good addition and would mean we’d have 3 very different strikers to pick from
