It’s about squad building this summer with so many additions required. Not every signing can be a world class fancy addition.
Happy to add the likes of Brownhill & Walker on frees so longs it’s balanced with a couple of high potential...
Our central midfield is about to be deprived of Doucoure and Mangala. Gueye has yet to sign, but probably will do, and Garner only has one year left on his contract and spent half of last season out with injury. So we badly need several central...
Surely it should be 1 +1.
The +1 should be if he plays in 25 premier league games. That way it protects the club and likely gives him the additional year he wants.
On the contrary, I think Brownhill will be an excellent signing. It's about building a strong squad, not cherry picking overpriced, over the hill galacticos. Think about Peter Reid, Trevor Steven, Kevin Sheedy, Paul Bracewell, Tim Cahill, Seamus...
Not a particularly exciting signing but if Armstrong isn’t ready to be a regular then we need 2 new central midfielders to go along with Gueye and Garner.
Every player we are linked to will be deemed a terrible idea by most on here.
But then most on here derided the idea of Moyes coming back as a terrible idea.
