The three in midfield

i think we need at least three new midfielders players .i would like to see better players than the current 3 midfield starters brought to the club. Mcgree is absolutely awful, he might be a number 10 but its like playing alan comfort or tommy wright as midfield anchor, its not going to work, crooks is so inconsistent in form we need something more, and poor johnny has been playing his heart out and been dropped in it with the shi t around him, however realistically Hes not going to play 44 games, at the highest intensity.
 
There's got to be players on the continent, a hidden gem with the right blend of ability and attitude for us to bring in that won't break the bank.

I don't know what our scouting network is like across Europe but the last time the club mentioned us searching Europe high and low it was for Tony Pulis' replacement as manager and we found him in the Southern Cross in Marton.
 
Need 2 CMs who are mobile and like the physical side of the game. We need a CM to do the running for Crooks and help Howson, who at 34 can't do it all himself and won't be able to do it for 46+ games.
Are there no CMs in League 1 who would be worth a punt? Look abroad get a German or Scandinavian in? Has to be someone better than what we have......
The problem v QPR was lack of awareness from numerous players leaving the defence unprotected . One should sit in front of the back 3 at all times .Also why back off ? Dijksteel and Jones were wrong side of Willock but we still had Lemaghan and Bola between the goal and him . Dijksteel and Bola were bought as full backs not centre halves and it shows .

Greaves £7.5 million?

Plus three PL loans.

Probably way too much coin.

forget greaves we dont need him concentrate on midfield. i have my doubts about crooks as a starter as well
 
Reduced to second choice already?

One just signed the other not yet in the door
Not by me no, just based off their fees and squad numbers.

Are you seriously saying if we sign two out of Gyokeres, Armstrong, Muniz or Larsen you think Forss & Hoppe would be the nailed on starters?

What about Gyokeres and Armstrong??
'Gifts' for the manager in January to get us over the line.....
