agreed; At the risk of sounding like Wilder, I think a left-sided, Premier league standard defensive central midfielder is crucial if you have McGree and Giles in the same team. Someone like Vitaly Janelt at Brentford.Giles gets hammered for his defending, however, its partially down to the shape of the team ahead of him. One of our strengths is Riley McGree drifting inside to link with chuba etc. Obviously this can leave giles exposed.
If we went up and signed Giles, which i think should be a priority, id like to look at a rotation left sided midfielder option that could play in front of him on occasion, who would offer more protection.
