Thread: We Need A Midfielder!

    We Need A Midfielder!

    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 Premeirship

    I was wondering seeing with the Swansea player Ki going to Newcastle , would a cheeky bid for Shelvey be on the cards ? Premier league experience , puts in a shift , good on the ball. Don’t think he played all that much last year. Just a thought.

    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).

    That is despite his bans for racial abuse of Romain Saiss and his stamp on Dele Alli.

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

    We need three, none of the ones we have currently are premier league class

    I fear we are going to bypass the midfield again.

    You do not get more time on the ball in the premier league than the championship

    I believe NW will surprise us with his conjuring of new players into our midfield

    Just because there’s nothing in the social media doesn’t mean the swan isn’t swimming

    A player i mentioned a while back - Walace a brazilian deefensive midfielder at Hamburg (who just got relegated to 2 bundesliga)
    Has just been picked up for €5 million by Hanover 96 a mid table german side.

    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 ?

    True however I’d say he was the exception. Plus he was brought through Manchester youth system and had settled in this country long before signing for us.
