What is required this summer?

[Edina Street]

According to https://www.footballscotland.co.uk/s...ities-24031701, Hibernian do not require a right sided midfielder as Chris Cadden has made this position his, but Hibernian do require the following:

Striker and forward

Apparently, Christian Doidge's future at Hibs is uncertain, and Hibernian require an "experienced" striker, and also a replacement for Martin Boyle.

Attacking midfielder

Apparently, with Scott Allan on his way out of Hibs, we require an attacking midfielder, that is "even more dynamic" than Scott Allan.

2 Central Defenders

Apparently, keeping hold of Ryan Porteous is a must this summer, and with question marks hanging over Rocky Bushiri's future, added to Darren McGregor's age disadvantage, two central defenders are required urgently.

[Heisenberg]

Two strikers. Two quick wingers. Two central midfielders. Two central defenders (three if Porto goes). A left back (if Doig goes).

Not much to ask for really…

Hi Ross, decent article.

[Jones28]

I think Doig and Porteous will be away, but I think Mitchell can make left back his own. I think there’s a player in Bushiri and want him to stay, McGregor potentially retiring as well so think a centre back will come in.

We need a midfield general. A Gogic style player but a better footballer would be ideal.

I want to see McKay given a chance wide left and if Jasper stays him a Cadden can fight it our t for the right hand side.

Clarkes future seems a bit uncertain so we might be looking for another right sided player.

Dylan Tait and Henderson are two I want to see more of in the Scott Allan role.

Striker wise I think we need minimum 1, 2 if Doidge goes and possibly 3 of Nisbet goes as well. James Scott might be an option, and I think he’d be worth a deal if available on a free.

[Unseen work]

I’m not convinced Cadden will be a starter, think Clarke (if he’s still here) will be the first choice right back as he’ll want actual right wingers who are tricky, score and create as one of the front 3.

I hope Lee Johnson can sell Doig and Porteous the dream and persuade them both to stay, and Ron can make it worth their while.

Regarding Bushiri, I like his age, only twenty two, and Hanlon and Porteous are already well established first team regulars with plenty experience, but I don't like the question marks over his ability, so I would like to see a couple of young central defenders come in, to be groomed for the role of stepping in for Hanlon whom maybe only has a couple of years at this level left in him.

We need a midfield general. A Gogic style player but a better footballer would be ideal.

Simon Ferry has compared Dundee's nineteen year old Scotland under 21 internationalist Josh Mulligan's work-rate to that of Gareth Bale, and described him as "powerful, strong and direct", and as a "Rolls-Royce" footballer.

I want to see McKay given a chance wide left and if Jasper stays him a Cadden can fight it our t for the right hand side.

Yes, we signed McKay for a reason.

Clarkes future seems a bit uncertain so we might be looking for another right sided player.

Another good thing about Josh Mulligan, not only is he a nineteen year old currently playing in the Scottish under 21's as opposed to the Scotland under 19's, but he can also play on the right hand side of midfield, as well as central midield. Actually, he is also down as a right back.

Always good to give youth a chance.

Striker wise I think we need minimum 1, 2 if Doidge goes and possibly 3 of Nisbet goes as well. James Scott might be an option, and I think he’d be worth a deal if available on a free.

I don't think Kevin Nisbet will be going anywhere in the near future due to his injury. Though I would not put my money on that.

I do like the look of this Josh Mulligan however. Only one year left on his Dundee contract, and with Dundee getting relegated I am sure he would jump at the chance to play in the premier again and Dundee could be bribed. He's young, versatile, and has already scored against Hibernian, and played for Dundee during victories against both Hibs "and" Hearts.

Porto has already knocked back a good deal - I dont think he will stay. But we will get very little for him at this stage in his contract. Its a tricky one for Hibs.
Doig doesnt want to go for at least one more year. He doesnt think he is ready for the Championship yet. So a good season coming up and we could get a decent amount of money for him

Cadden will continue to play every game when he is fit. His energy and work rate make him first pick and why he was POTY. It will be interesting to see how the new managers fits him in with Clarke.

So i think we will get 2 CBs - one left and one right and both should be pushing to start. We need a dynamic number 6 in the style of ****e (but obv not that level). None of our current DMs can fetch and carry the ball.

We need at least 1 top class striker.

We need a top class no.10 - i could see that being a loan in the hope that Magennis could get properly fit.

Anything on top of that will i think be loan players.

You forgot a goalie.

[B.H.F.C]

Goalie, central defender, central midfielder, striker.

Marshall is a good start, need to get 1st pick players in right up the spine of the team as our starting point.

I like Cadden, he’s a real athlete. However I’m not sure there’s a place for him going forward if Clarke stays. Think Cadden could play RB and be a big help to a real winger in overlapping and creating space for him. As a wingback or winger though he’s not good enough in the final third to be our attacking outlet, and effectively Boyle’s replacement, as he was last season.

In mitigation, he gets into some great crossing positions and it’s an unenviable task trying to pick someone out with the limited midfield we have. Not convinced he’s good enough in the final third but with some new forwards and new midfielders he might be able to capitalise more on the positions he gets into.

I think we're doing quite well in the full back department: Cadden, Clarke, Doig, Mitchell, and Stevenson are all good options. I'm not sure which 2 I'd pick and if the others can slot in elsewhere in the team with the right formation.

Everywhere else probably needs a bit of work.

[Billy Whizz]

We need someone who can score goals, goals and more goals
Our top league scorer last season was Boyle on 7 goals, he was 23rd top goal scorer in Scotland last season, and hasn’t played for Hibs for ages

Lee did say he likes to get early balls in to the strikers so will like Cadden I think, just need actual strikers to be in and around the box, along with midfielders making forward runs.

[CL0762]

If Porteous does go, if what I’ve heard is true we have a ready made replacement in Jack Brydon. Followed the same route as Porto when he went to Edinburgh City and they’re raving about him, feel that he’s showing more potential at that age than Ryan did.

Imo we need:

A goalie - presumably Marshall
At least one centre half, two if Porteous goes. If McGregor calls it a day as well then probably 3.
3 centre midfielders, a 6, an 8 and a 10. Although I could see Henderson being the 10. I don’t think he’s good enough but he’s in the building so I think we’ll use him
Two wingers - wouldn’t be surprised if one of them is Jasper
Two strikers, could probably get by with one being a decent loan. Probably needs to be three if Doidge goes.

He’s only 17 so I’d be hoping we’d be looking for an actual replacement for Porteous rather than blooding a 17 year old.

He sounds a good prospect though.

Didn’t realise he’s only 17, he seems to have been spoken about for a couple of years now.

If he goes 433 then I can see Cadden in midfield with Clarke as wingback. I think we need 2 CB's 2-3 midfielders with energy and some guile and 2-3 fast attacking forwards, that's around 6-8 players.

We also have players back in the squad who may feature, Bradley, Tait and Mackay.

Yeah, 18 in September. He went on loan to Civil Service just after his 16th birthday and then to Stenhousemuir, also when he was 16. He done really well at Stenhousemuir. Great prospect

Yeh i agree. I'd have Clarke in front of him with Cadden playing a more traditional RB role. As you say they both provide the energy for overlaps and to cover for each other. But if Johnson plays 433 it then becomes tricky.
