Bruce is looking to strengthen the striker options during the summer, but while he is looking for top forwards maybe he should be casting his net over the exclusive bunch that is known as scoring midfielders.

It seems to have been a strange season where several midfielders are up in the scorers charts.

Although n'zog has been mentioned many times (i'll leave it at that) there seems to be an abundance of scoring midfielders around, and they are a vital part to any team, something we are sorely lacking.

here is the list and look for the midfielders

Berbatov Man Utd 21
Tevez Man City 19
Van Persie Arsenal 16
Bent Aston Villa 15
Odemwingie West Brom 15
Carroll Liverpool 13
Hernandez Man Utd 13
Kuyt Liverpool 13
Malouda Chelsea 13
Dempsey Fulham 12
Nolan Newcastle 12
Van der Vaart Tottenham 12
Campbell Blackpool 11
Drogba Chelsea 11
Adam Blackpool 10

Our midfield has scored a combined 6 or 10 depending on what you class ricco as.

Anyone any suggestions on who would help solve this problem, apart from insomnia..
 
Craig Gardner has scored 10 goals this season for Brum, 8 in the league and 2 in league cup. Bit of an underated player but has an eye for goal but not the marquee name fans crave for
 
How about a goalscoring defender? Huth always seems to get 6 or 7 a season. My shout was Craig Gardiner, he's in double figures this year. I have never really watched him, know nothing about his gamr but that stat alone suggest he's got an eye for goal. The few goals of his that stick in my mind were quality strikes from just outside the box (cattermoles kryptonite) A stat that puts it all in perspective is one I read in a paper the day after the brum game. When Gardiner scored their second his total for the season came up on the scoreboard and it was more than our whole midfield combined had managed in 2 seasons.

well that just high-lites our problem in midfield full stop.

here's a different option,

as we are apparently after a new left back, would the idea of bardo going into a catts like role work?

attacking midfielders, and bardo in the holding role, but on occasion, get forward and let some of his rocket shots go? only a thought..
