I think your totally spot on here Mick.
We dont just need a central midfielder, we need a world class one. We need a player that playes with his heart and can get the rest with him.
We also need a class DMC(butt was good at the end of the campain, but he isnt getting any younger). With media saying Barton get an ultimatium and we are now planing to sack him, we also need a replacement for him. Thats 3 first team players, we also need backup players for these 3(Milner and N'zogbia might work).
We need a class big striker who isnt injury prone. If we can get Bafetemi Gomis for 10-15M, I say go for him. I think we also need a backup up front.
We need Backup players for both Beye and Enrique. We just lost Rozenahl to Lazio, so we need to get a replacement for him.
When I think about it, we need a new team....
Barton, Geremi, Butt are good enough backup surely?
