Well, we all dream of a team of Gavin Raes.
But seriously, I think we're looking worryingly light in midfield. Grujic would be a boost as a player who can pass and put himself about a bit (though perhaps a bit too much). I think we could also do with an older head in midfield who has a bit more Premier League experience than anyone we have.
Him then:----

Or maybe they are not after him! Palace are also reported to be in talks with Chelsea’s Danny Drinkwater

My preference would be player with the stature of Bamba or Morrison, a player with premiership experience, a player who can still command a midfield whether it be as a destroyer or a creator, preferably the latter. As I wrote a couple of months ago the right guy on a one year contract is a good deal if he is the difference between success and failure.
Yaya toure would be a dream signing
I hope the club are in control of the situation and it’s not causing a distraction. I’d prefer if we moved on.
I’m starting to worry a little that we are a couple of experienced premier league players short.
Alan Nixon has said on twitter that Palace aren't in for him.
At this point I think it'll either be us on loan, but very close to the end of the window, or he'll go permanently to someone in Italy.
Why don’t we see if pogba is available
Bit worrying as Neil doesn’t seem to have a plan ‘B’ in this department. Perhaps it’s a lot more difficult with Premier class players and if we were still a Championship club he’d have given Grujic a time scale, if he didn’t sign within it the next name would be sorted. Doesn’t look like there is a ‘next name’ as Warnock would surely have binned, not so much Grujic, but the agent involved in this deal. A sign that Neil, or us for that matter, carry the clout we had a division lower. We’re very thin on the ground in midfield & if we go with what we’ve got a few injuries & suspensions before January would be a killer. Trouble is the players’ agents know this so we may have to shell out a decent transfer fee or a huge loan package as the window draws near. Interesting times.
