Calderwood wants more signings

29 July 2011 13:08
Hibernian manager Colin Calderwood is determined to make further additions to his squad in the remaining weeks of the summer transfer window.[LNB] Calderwood has all summer been linked with assistant manager posts at Birmingham and Nottingham Forest, but this week completed his fourth signing with the capture of Junior Agogo.[LNB]And Calderwood again stated his intent to build his squad - something he may not do if he had a desire to move on - by suggesting Hibs are planning moves in the loan market before the close of the transfer window at the end of next month.[LNB]Calderwood told STV: "I think we'll need one or two reinforcements.[LNB]"We're going to try. We'll never stop trying to do that right up until the end of the transfer window.[LNB]"We're getting more and more people put towards us now.[LNB]"Teams are suddenly wanting to loan players out, especially from England.[LNB]"That's where our coverage is at the moment."[LNB]Calderwood and Agogo, who is set to miss Saturday's trip to Inverness with a thigh strain, have been reunited after a spell together at Forest.[LNB]And the manager is thrilled with the capture of the 31-year-old Ghana international.[LNB]Calderwood added: "He's quite an open personality and one that is infectious.[LNB]"I think he'll be very useful for us going forward. He's got a presence up front, he's got a good goalscoring record and his experience will be vital to us."[LNB]Six matches took place on the opening weekend of the SPL, with four drawn. Of those which had a result, Inverness lost to Motherwell and Hibs to Celtic.[LNB]Tomorrow's match pits the two teams at the foot of the table together and Calderwood is keen to accumulate points quickly.[LNB]He added: "We know a victory would be vitally important and make a big difference.[LNB]"We've got to collect points - we've got to take something from the game and get off that zero score as quickly as possible."[LNB]Sean O'Hanlon is poised to play despite a broken toe suffered in Tuesday night's friendly loss at Blackpool.[LNB]Midfielder Martin Scott, though, is out after requiring six stitches to his knee following a clash in the same game.[LNB]Akpo Sodje (knee) remains doubtful after missing the Celtic and Blackpool matches and Sean Welsh (cheekbone) is still absent.
