Traore is out there. It's pre season after all and he's done a lot of running so he's probably just a bit tight.

It does emphasise why we're after a creative midfielder though considering he's the only one we've got

Tufan, Slater, Vaughan all provide something there though.

Tufan isn't really creative though, and the other 2 are already starters in positions we lack good depth in.

For a team that didn't create enough chances I do find it odd that everyone's not screaming for a creative midfielder.

I can see that logic, but when the club are saying 5/6 players, most tend to see LB, GK, 2 wingers and a striker or 2 as greater priorities as they're the most obvious positions we're lacking.

Personally id like a cruncher next to Seri before I'd start telling Tufan or Slater that they're not good enough in the 10 role. They'll both get goals from there.

The club said 6-8 last year and it was double that.

Slater and Tufan are very good but they aren't 10s. For example, Adama's key passes per 90 stats are better than Tufan and Slater's combined.

I reckon the 10 will likely be someone who can play wide too, a bit like Pelkas, but hopefully better

I can absolutely see the logic in that.

Twine fits to a tee.
 
Has he?

Pretty sure he ruled Pelkas out last summer also.

Last week he reported Vinager was 50/50 and 'reports it is all but done are wide of the mark' yet today he's having a medical.

Baz just repeats what he's told to.
yeah a few weeks back someone asked him on twitter
