A creative central midfielder to unlock tight defences is the missng piece in the jigsaw
Those three teams (well the first two definitely) have more creativity in their midfield, and I would like to see us catch up in that department.
Who'd you go for (realistically) and who'd you get rid of assuming Ellis makes Bruce balance the books?
You expect them both to be back in January?
Campbell only fucked his at the end of summer. January should be too early for him surely?
Similarly Meyler will have been out for about 8 months and knee ligaments are usually a minimum of 12 months unless you have a Kenwyne Jones / Marvin Andrews type of "miracle".
I wouldn't go that far. It's pretty good but still painfully short of real class and cutting edge in the midfield. Just look at our opponents on Monday. What we would give to have Cahill, Pienaar or Arteta.
Bear with me on this;
When you redecorate one room in your house, it makes the other rooms look bad - so you want to redecorate the other room - then the other, and so on.
So sometimes I think it's that attitude I have with the team - new, better players make others seem inadequate. We will always want to improve the squad and will always find areas of 'weakness'.
Having said that I personally would only really like a really attacking left back and I'd be happy.
This squad is absolutely awesome.
