I refer the honourable gentleman to the 'Grallen' midfield we had to resort to for a number of games recently. Morris is one of the best players for what he does in the division besides...Grimes.

I'd take Hamer as despite my disagreement with my friend above who may or may not be related to him, I actually think he's good for 20 min cameos in the Prem, even if existing Prem managers don't seem to think so.
I see no worth in the other 2 for where we are now.

If Brau isn’t deemed good enough cover i’d like us to get a LB
Something like
Rak Sakiyi
Harry amass both on loan
and then a box to box all star midfielder on a permanent would be enough for me this Jan

If we're talking until the end of the season and not looking at the summer recruitment, it'd solve the depth issues at left back and in attacking midfield with two players who are already familiar with the club.

And it’s OK to be rational about players abilities and not just claim every player we have is the greatest ever. Our team can always get better and that’s no shade on those already in it.

I think McCallum could balance the side nicely tbh and would be good challenge for Dasilva plus the ability to rest MvE without losing the long throw. Hamer fits in well for cameos when the midfield three need a break same for O’Hare and the three behind the striker. I think they’d be a perfect January

Absolutely agree, with the proviso that we are currently in the second tier and The PL has got exponentially better since 1980.
His passing is exceptional, but in the PL passing between the lines gets way harder.

In which case that would be a lot of money to spend on a position where we’re already well covered.

I know, I'm not sure where I've said we can't? If we got promoted we'd need loads of new players. We also have a handful of players that could and indeed might have to, step up.

I can’t see Gus coming back
we do need a box to box midfielder though
would be a great signing
but victor Torp is fucking superb

Then who drops out at CM? Torp presumably? I just don’t see the point.

This would be an actual good signing. Not sending a life raft to O'Hare in Bluntsville.

Also would be cheaper

Ipswich went down the road of buying all the best Championship players. Clearly, not a template to follow. They went for quantity over quality.
That said, a PL side better than Sheff U should have bought Vic and Gus.

Our squad is in a healthy position where there is little to no dead wood.
if we went up this year I’d be happy with Dovin, MVE, Thomas, Kitching, Dasilva, Grimes, Torp, Rudoni, EMC, BTA, Wright and Sakamoto in the squad. New contracts for MVE, Wright ETC.
Haven’t seen enough of KKH and Woolfenden but if we decided to move them on we’d have plenty of suitors. Simms and Eccles would go for decent money to a championship team. Would have no trouble finding a home for Bidwell, Lati and Allen who are proven championship players.
I’d back the recruitment team to find 8-10 players to the that nucleus of the squad that would make us capable of staying up. Our squad is a lot better than Sunderland’s was when they went up.

We have loads of capable CMs in case we get an injury (and we’ve already had many).
If we get in a PL-calibre CM even on loan then they will expect to play every week - we’re not dropping Grimes, so does Torp get benched? I just don’t see it.

I think we did once all our subs were on. Especially in midfield.

I’d love Mehmeti, we’re not known to be in for him though are we?
3 assists yesterday

You didn’t need to take Torp and Eccles off imo

In cases where we have three games in a week, being able to play someone nearer to Torp's ability as opposed to Jamie Allen's would be a clear advantage. The games where it's been just Grimes and Allen in the middle have been real hard work because it's just not Allen's game and especially not from the start.
Likewise I wouldn't be signing a winger with a view to dropping Sakamoto or EMC.

You do if you’re heading away to second in a few days. We’re going to see it more the next few months I think as games come quickly. Lampard seems to like playing players for 60/70/80 mins for a couple of the games in a three game week.

I don't think so. Their last chance to get a bit of cash for him though.
