    We’re missing a dominant DM

    that could make or break our window imo

    Not yet. But he has a lot of potential

    he’s very good at delivering a pass and a cross but his defensive side needs work

    Agree mate. It would be nice but he’ll have loads of interest

    When people talk about experience - a 23 year old Man City academy graduate with 50+ premier league appearances mostly in a team fighting relegation is so much better than an older guy with no legs who hasn't played in a relegation threatened team in 15 years.

    I have a feeling we have a shot at McAtee.

    City left him at home, you wanna come and play lad? That would finish that group you mention off beautifully.

    I think that would be the idea, Cirkin could certainly challenge him for that spot - he's not so wildly clear of Cirkin that it wouldn't make an interesting battle.

    Probably better on the ball and at driving up the line - worse in the air perhaps.

    I was never massive on Doyle but if it's anywhere near that price then I'd take him happily. More than good enough for rotation and to potentially work his way in as a starter.

    I know we don't talk about relegation here but he's one that might stay and would be very good in the championship.

    It’s marginally. ‘Fit and flying’ Cirkin is a better player.

    Some will argue but let’s not forget how good Cirks can be and the absolute dynamics he brings to the side when he’s on it.

    Merlin is very good going forward but is positionally poor. Potential is huge but Marseille considering a sale after a year says he’s got some growing to do.

    I’d be starting cirkin because of his defensive side at this moment

    No chance IMO. Reckon he’ll move to a side playing European football

    Playing devil's advocate for a sec.

    Do Doyle, Merlin and McAtee add the pace and power we need?

    No, add legs and quality though. We still need a few 6ft2+ beasts in the team in my opinion, particularly in midfield.

    I'm not even sure Cirkin is that good defensively - out of position a lot but has just enough pace at championship level to recover.

    He'll improve but Merlin would be ahead of him for me - it's not like Merlin can't defend but he's a bit lightweight.

    Fine against most prem wingers but maybe play Cirkin when Semenyo is on that side, just think it'll be nice to have different options.

    Thats what I keep laughing at and equally feel a bit sorry for the lad. When he knocks it through his legs he just looks like he's thinking ****, I'm getting absolutely embarrassed on national TV and in front of thousands of people, and there's nothing I can do to stop it.

    Yeah totally agree. That Richardson that was mentioned earlier (or someone of that ilk) would be ideal.

    Quick wingers and centre half aswell please

    Richardson was certainly an interesting one, definitely adds some height at 6'6 but I'd rather someone 6'2 who doesn't look like he'd blow away down roker beach
