If not Huddlestone or Parker.

For the English/British midfield player as part of our core. Please don't say Catts.
I'm struggling to find a realistic option on this. Ideas please.
ps I'd still prefer one of the overseas players that have been touted.

 

carrick, cleverley, hendo

 

Surely no chance Carrick or Cleverley. Not sure Hendo is what we are hoping for, he lacks the 'keys'. Hard working and for sure a good member of the squad but midfield general? I don't think so.

 

if manure sign fabregas (not looking likely) or pennaar (likely) then one of those might become available.

no clue reallt mate, your guess is as good as mine

 

What about Jack Cork?

 

Mark Noble has been mentioned I'm not sure he is the answer.

I think we should go for McCarthy from Wigan or Milner

 

Doubt it. Sideways step

Can't see any of the mentioned names in this thread tbh

We may still end up with a foreign playmaker. Di Canio's preference is clearly Huddlestone though

 

i would be happy with catts as our british midfielder if he can stay fit and on his feet

 

I really think this has been lost in translation

I think PDC means someone who is used to the English game and knows all about the premier league

Manuel Fernandes still fits into that after 3 loan spells and he for me should be our number one target if not then who knows. McCarthy from Wigan would be canny

 

But he's not a playmaker. If he does stay he will compete with Cabral for one of the cm spots

 

Maloney??

 

neither is parker a playmaker

 

It's not going to be catts. Cabral has confirmed he is wearing no6, that means catts is gone.

 

Fellaini £18m

Imagine

 

more chance of finding rocking horse ****

 

Lampard

Seemples

Aye but how good would that be?

Jenas, yours for a song.
