Bamba played there with mixed results last year and I suppose Halford could do a job there - there's Jamie Veale, Marco Weymans (if he's still with City), Lloyd Humphries and Sion Spence from our younger players, but I don't see Warnock looking on any of them as being able to come in and feature pretty regularly next season, so I'm thinking two out of the three further newcomers may be central midfield players.

Sad it didn't work out for Huws - potentially he's good enough to make us look pretty stupid in the next few seasons.
I think Stuart O'Keefe is still under contract and will be back after his loan - but he clearly wasn't fancied by Warnock either.

One or two of the further signings must be central mids, surely.

However, if Warnock does decide to promote a few more players from the u23s to fill the gaps I will be very pleased, and very surprised.

Everything he has said about next season screams 'instant success' not 'steady progression'. So either he and Bellamy believe there are more young players like Healey and Harris who can be trusted in the first team very soon, or he will have to buy them in.
