I'm sure I can find a few random Championship midfielders with better stats in certain areas, unfortunately those players aren't banging in volleys every other week nor are they a key player for the team absolutely bossing the league. There is no planet anyone would claim Hamer is having a better season. Well maybe one or two people...Check it out for yourself dude

The suggestion is adding half a team's worth of players to a settled squad midway through the season. 2 or perhaps 3 I agree are needed for areas where we'd be struggling with an injury to a particular player, but I don't see where else we need to add more depth aside from the wings, centre mid and perhaps left back.
The question was in any case about who's the better player. I'm not sure how else you want to measure that? If you want more goals Torp's your man, no doubt about that.
Hamer has never even been promoted from this division. Let's talk about Torp at the end of this season, he's on course to eclipse anything Hamer has done if he keeps it up.
4-5 isn't that mental. Rotating and backing up what we have. 2-3 loans and a couple of quality signings isn't excessive. Need to get out of the little old Cov mindset. Top teams have depth in their squads. We are doing amazing but have been very lucky with injuries over the last 3 seasons really.
So aside from a wide attacking player, a CM and a left back, where else do you want more signings?
I've said before, although I agree on the positions of priority and those are most likely, recruitment is also about timing. If that Bodo CB becomes available I wouldn't be shocked at all, even if we don't really need one.
If there's someone truly outstanding who's available sure, but they really would need to be outstanding if we're going to add in those sorts of positions.
I really rate Dasilva this season but what happens if he gets knackered? Brau looks so raw and could be loaned out himself, Bidwell really doesn't fit our needs for a progressive wingback. Surely we could loan someone in? Feels like wed be able to give loan players cup games and a chance to fight for their spot. I think we'd be able to bring them on if we are comfortable.
I just can't see us signing a player in a position we already have 3 senior players in. After maybe RB, because both of those are high quality, or GK, it's probably the position I'd be most surprised to see us sign for.
Well Lampard wanted Bamford so I could see another striker in. BTA has played best covering the space Rudoni left. Could loan in a prospect with actual pace. Something different than we have.
Are this winger or CM also kinda an AM? We are short of one imo and Rudoni does take knocks.
Aidan Morris, plays a similar role at Boro and having a superb season, still 24.
Nah, Bidwell has been a great servant for this club but he no longer fits what we need. Brau doesn't look disciplined enough from the small cameos he's had. Nothing from how he's been used in the last few months makes me think they have confidence in him. Loan him out. Bidwell may not want to leave but that doesn't mean we can't loan in someone closer to Dasilvas profile.
Well Costelloe went straight back out on loan, Banel didn’t play a minute for them, Shelvey played 11 minutes and Barnes barely over 90 minutes TOTAL.
Neither has Gyokeres but Carlton Morris has, does that make Morris a better player
Gyokeres has other achievements and has moved to Arsenal. This may have passed you by?
Fair, I just assumed Torp would be the chap to deputise for Rudoni but Lampard seems to be favouring Eccles for that instead.
well he’s won 3 MOTM this season so i’m not sure how you’re defining running a game
Is Hamer league the doner kebab eating version of Baller league?
He's not Hamer. That's it. He's a dominant Championship midfielder to anyone watching.
Depth though wasn't it. Kept the others honest. We may not get injuries, we might be fine as we are but the risk is a mad one to take. We are so far ahead of the pack, not getting bodies in as cover is a crazy gamble considering the pay off if we get promoted.
