I don't think we need a new Mid-field player anyway. Izzit, Dunn, clem, DJ, Nafti, and Carter can or do play in the middle and have ALL!!! done a very good job on their day. I would be much happier if we were finding the mich needed central defender that will on day replace Kenny.

If all those players are fit then yes we are fine, but Dunn & Izzet's fitness are still questionable, Nafti isnt actually our player, Clemence & DJ have 1 good game every 5, and Carter is still far too inexperienced and inconsistant.

We need more quality & especially more creativity in midfieled, once the transfer window closes thats it agian till January and we cant afford to gamble another season on everyone being fit and available.

But we could have signed lee bowyer for very little and spent time and saved money finding a central defender. SB feels we need a cm lee bowyer was quoted to be joining for half a mill now where are we gonna find a quality cm for that .straight away you can see we will end up having to pay more ,thus making it harder to buy a defender- hope this makes sense :(

nafti isnt actually ours yet, carter may be on his way, dunn has injury worries plus i believe is better on the left which leaves three???i personally woul like bowyer and appiah come in, but u are right that we need to look for another centre back, i would have liked to see us get huddlestone from derby, but hes gone to the ever expanding spurs.....

well 2 may or will not be ready for the start of the season, one isnt ours and so yes it is just you.

If you think that midfield will be the one that takes us to europe when it failed last season you are living in cloud cuckoo land

I agree that all those named are all good midfielders but I think what we should be trying to do is bring in better midfielders. Personally I think left back, left mid and centre back should take priority over a new central midfielder but I do think we need someone to paly as a defensive midfielder and apart from nafti (who isn't ours as has been rightly pointed out), neither izzet, carter or clem are designed for that. So I think thats why SB is after a new midfielder.

Bowyer isn't a defensive mid either, nor is Karagounis.

Perhaps there's more to the Davids rumour than just a rumour?

Admittedly they are not, in fact that was my main reservation about bowyer - that we actually have decent players in his position who in my opinion are potentially as good. Furthermore bowyer is neither an out-and-out defensive or attacking midfielder so I was surprised that SB would want him, apart from the fact he would be on a free. Karagounis on the other hand would be a replacement for izzet, or at least competition for his place since he is a more attack minded midfielder. And possibly he is better than izzet though I have not seen him play of late. Saw him a fair bit a season or two ago and he was pretty good.

Essentially my point was that SB is after midfielders because we do need them, just not in central midfield as priority and I reckon that he saw bowyer just as a good deal at the time, hopefully not as an area where we need to improve ahead of others.

If we want to make europe then with Dunn & Pennant on the wings we are going the right way about it but we are still missing that top class central midfielder in my opinion.

Yes we have players who 'on their day' look the part or who can do a job but we dont have the sort of reliable consistant quality central midfielder we need.

I'd hardly call 30K a week in wages "very little". That's 30K in wages we can't spend on better, more responsible players who will turn up every week instead of missing weeks at a time through suspension.

i think legwinski or bisan will be bought in for the defensive midfield position....both have been linked with us and i believe these were steve's 2nd and 3rd signing behind bowyer..appiah would be quality but i think he is out of our league at the moment, after all he will defo want european football...
