    IMO we have one of the best goalies in this league, 6 fantastic defenders and 2 fantastic strikers and yet we are where we are!

    I've no solution but it seems that we need a whole new middle and then surely we'd improve vastly and some. We need a Bale on the left, a Young on the right, a Parker holding the middle and a Gerard attacking up front, well obviously not them actual players but ones who cut it in this league!

    Guess I can dream :cool:

    To be fair I am pill popping due to my sore throat but in all seriousness, surely a couple of decent midfielders and we'd be well on our way :cool:

    We know the MID is weak, NP will get it sorted, but not untill the summer.

    NP will have a clear out in the summer & I´m thinking Wellens, Howard & Gally will go along with some deadwood. Some players will want to leave because they won´t have to much playing time & what with the ******* stupid 5 on the bench rule we´ll more than likely lose some players that we, as fans, would want to keep as strength in depth.

    I can see next season being a good one.... still in the npower though :emoticon-0106-cryin

    Gally and Wellens can be squad players

    Yeah Pantsil, Oakley, Vassell, Berner, Moussa would be some deadwood. It´ll be a shame to see Tunchev go but that´s football.

    (Matt) Phillips from Blackpool - if we had bid £5m I'm sure we would have got him (might have got him for less)
    Snodgrass from Leeds
    Whittingham from Cardiff

    Makes you wonder whether he might experiment with Bamba in midfield- he's having a cracking African Cup of nations tournament by the way - think he has played every game in full (hope nobody's watching!!!)

    Matt Phillips has an O'Niell/Moyes link up written all over it. There is no way that guy is staying in the Championship this season.

    If you had Stewart, Koren and McKenna with one of your current midfield you'd have an excellent team.

    You're spot on mate, swap our midfield with one of the top teams and we'd be laughing :D

    Don't rate McKenna, never have done.

    Although that view may be blinkered with him being ex Florist and a dirty **** <ok>

    McKenna has surprised many of our fans.

    He's just what you need to shore up the weak midfield you have.

    We've done that with Drinkwater by the looks of it. From what we've seen he's a class act.
