Steve McKenzie (@Steve_Hibees) says: “We really need to be bringing in another striker as well” and James Lumsden stated: “We need a striker but won’t get one.”

Jamesy (@Jamesy34766993) added: “We need a forward but doubt it’ll happen. Think it’s a bit mad to go with just two forwards.”

Adam Stevenson agreed: “If we plan on playing two up front then you need depth in the forward areas. I'd say we have a couple good youngsters to come on but nobody that can fill in for multiple games if one of our main boys get injured. I don't really think we will sign another striker tho, got a feeling the club will use Murphy or Boyle to fill in.”

Peter Hart is more concerned with getting Magannis over the line: “Never mind expected just show me the photo of the scarf over the head before McInnes nicks in.”

Kevin Ball added: “Bit light in the striking and defensive mid departments. Aberdeen game showed the difference Gogic and Nissy make. I'd like cover for both.”

Connor Easson McNair is looking further back the pitch: “I think we’re running risk without another centre half or a striker for the bench.”

David McCoy is happy with Hibs’ transfer business: “Manager likes a slim squad so that will be it I think.”

Raymond Douglas addd: “Think that will be it. JR will analyse what hes got and sign a few in jan to get us over the finishing line for Europe.”
