As clubs continue their search for new recruits during the transfer window, STV has asked a fan from each SPL club to give their own wishlist for the January sales.

Hibs fan Tom Hall gives his thoughts on the Hibees window. Tom is the editor of the Scottish Football Blog. You can follow him on Twitter here.

Which areas of the team does your side need to strengthen?
Hibs are the SPL's lowest scorers and only two clubs have conceded more goals - the whole squad requires a major overhaul.

Do you see your team doing any business in the transfer window?
They have to. We're in a hole and freshening up the squad might be the only way to ease clear of what's looking like an uncomfortable scrap for survival.

Who would be a (semi-realistic!) fantasy signing for your team in January?
Even in the realms of fantasy it's difficult to see one player who could cure all our ills but Alexei Eremenko would bring a touch of class and creativity that's been sorely missing.

Are there any players coming back from injury who "could be like new players" to the squad?
If only... although the re-emergence of Callum Booth would be a welcome boost to both the team and morale in the stands.

Who does your team absolutely have to keep hold of during the January window?
Garry O'Connor's goals would make him the obvious candidate but there are very few at Easter Road whose departure would be mourned.

Who should they be looking to move on?
Ask ten fans and you might get ten different answers; there are too many players just not up to the job.
