Excatly what kind of midfielders do we need?

[Shania]

I would like to see Watson from Wigan. Great box to box "option".
Any other players of that mould worth having a look at you lot reckon?

[stainrod10]

One that is capable of threading a clever pass through to a striker rather than one that looks up and lumps it into the mixer.

[paulmason]

Nothing wrong with our middle IMO, but yes we do need back up. The problem is will a good player come to sit on the bench ?

SWP - Barton - Faurlin - Traore (or someone similar)
------------- Taarabt ------------

[Yousef]

Someone good in set pieces as well.

[HertsHoops]

Lampard looking cheesed off at Chelshite would be great, but realisticaly we'd end up with another Uncle Harry cast off like Kranjcar

Pienaar

You say that like it's a bad thing - Kranjcar would do me nicely thanks

[Shania]

Pienaar

Is he not a bit injuryprone?

Definitely lacking in creativity throughout the midfield. Would love for us to get Krancjar.

But who?

Lampard is a player I like very much. He has a decent shoot also

[Shania]

I was impressed by Phil Jones last night. He played for Preston last season didnīt he?
But I cant remember him being mentioned as a potentially top notch player on here before?

This should be our default, and build from there.

Phil Jones? Only 1 I know of is the Utd player who came from Blackburn

But why arent any of the midfielders in the box when SWP or letīs say Traore delivers a cross? It irritates me a lot to say the least!

We have a pretty slow side, SWP & Traore break too fast for the rest of them to get there in time. Very infuriating to watch though isnt it when either of these break away at pace, look up to deliver a cross and see 3 oppo defenders in there with 1 or 2 of our players 15 yards behind!
