We have McLean McGinn McGowan Goodwin Harkins Robertson Teale Reilly Brady Yaqub who can all play midfield don't see why we would sign him unless any of above could be leaving

Thoughts??

Paul Merson said something interesting on Soccer Saturday last season. He was asked about Man U trying to make signings when they were top of the league and coasting it, so therefore surely didn't need to bother.

He said "There's a company out there who sell more hamburgers and chips than anyone else in the world. But you still see their adverts all over the place. Just because you're the biggest or the best, doesn't mean you shouldn't keep trying to be even better"

If players become available who're better than what we have, then of course we should try to sign them.

Still want to see us strengthen defensively and up front as a priority though. But maybe that's just proving more difficult!?

If the wage budget allows for us to bring him in along with a left back and a goalkeeper or 2 then I'd happily take him!

Keep in mind we don't have many senior strikers, just Thommo & Guy with Reilly and Brady coming through the youth system.

Don't have an out-and-out left midfielder, either. Apparently Harkins can do a job there but I'd prefer someone with a turn of pace.

Thoughts are that we effectively play 5 midfielders at times. If Goodwin is to stay at centre back that leaves us with 5 senior midfielders including Robertson plus McGinn. It's not a huge amount of cover.

Although we have several midfielders, we still lack a true centre mid, someone in the middle of the park who does the lot. McGowan, McLean, McGinn and Harkins are more attack minded, Goodwin is more defensive and Robertson is a box to box type. If we're going to play the 3 in the middle, we need a guy who truly belongs right at hear of midfield, who can defend when he has to, and pick a pass when he can. That's Arfield down to the ground. Creative but disciplined.

Makes sense to me...he'd be a fantastic signing. Must have been on a fair wage at Huddersfield though. Hope this one isn't a wind up!

Of course it's a windup.

This is the guy who promised us Leigh Griffiths FFS.

Densop a tedious twat who is either a schoolkid who probably needs to grow up or an adult (gulp!) who is underemployed at the moment.

It was in the Evening Times...

He was on £7k a week a Huddersfield!!! Doubt he would want to drop to what level of wages we are paying.

Its like trying to ride a bird that is out of your league but you know what they say, if you dont ask you dont get!
