Tribesman Posted April 2, 2019 Share Posted April 2, 2019 I think the reason we struggle against teams in the top 6 is because we lack real quality in central midfield. The players we have in centre midfield now are fine if you just want to stay in the Premier League, but if Benitez stays and wants to compete to finish in the top 8 of the league then we need to spend big in this position. The teams currently fighting for 7th place have the likes of Moutinho, Doucoure and Tielemans, but we have nobody anywhere near that kind of quality in centre midfield.

James Posted April 9, 2019 Share Posted April 9, 2019 Imagine Hayden would feel a bit hard done by if he’s aiming to move to the south and only makes it as far as Birmingham Unless I’m mistaken he wants to be near to Bristol so a Midlands team are the best bet as he could get a house in Gloucester Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conjo Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 contemplated whether to stop reading when it was suggested Arsenal was preparing a £20m bid. Stopped when it was suggested we would use Ritchie as "bait" in a part exchange deal as if they would be keen to get him back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Some of the names we’ll be linked with I reckon we’d have been happy enough had they followed the likes of Allardyce or Pardew. A new manager this summer though means we’ve not shown ambition by giving Benitez what he wants in the first place. I don’t think it’ll be a Sherwood or Wise like some are saying is inevitable. I think we’ll get someone with a decent reputation and track record. It still won’t feel right though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Jorge Jesus would have been someone I'd love right after they'd beat us. He'd probably still do a decent job but we'd still just have the same problem we have now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteV Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 Fraser is worth more than £20m in this market. No chance. What’s his contract situation? 1 year left. Hence Bornemouth likely having to sell for around the price being quoted. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
