I hadn’t realised this but...
Currently we have three defensive minded midfielders on our books.
- Ralls
- Damour
- Stuart O’Keefe
We have let Grujic and Bryson leave us when their loan finished and so has Gunnarsson unless he signs a new contract meaning we will have 5 midfielders at the club.... (Tomlin and Paterson).
Who should we get in?
Tomlin isn't a midfielder. Not according to the club on their team web pages, anyway.
But yes - we need a midfielder, and then another midfielder, and maybe yet another if Gunnar leaves.
O’Keefe will go. Warnock don’t rate him. He moved him out at Palace I believe.
Damour could do with another season in the championship in my opinion.
No one has mentioned much of Damour, perhaps his style of wanting more time may suit the less hustle /bustle of the PremeirshipQuote:

Just had a quick look on Wiki - and Shelvey made 87 appearances for Newcastle over the last 2 seasons (not sure how that broke down).Quote:

I stand corrected. Just thought he was on fringes of the team for some reason.Quote:

I fear we are going to bypass the midfield again.Quote:

I think he would have been ideal for us, and very much within our budget.
But would a Brazilian be happy to settle in Cardiff or South Wales in general ?
