i was thinking young, downing, albrighton, mata, nzogbia for the wing before joey barton. if we can sign young and downing our midfielders would be; gerrard, lucas, meireles, spearing, shelvey, kuyt, maxi, young, downing 9 players for 4/5 positions seems like we have pretty good depth to me and thats without suso, coady, sterling and adorjan who are all hopefully only a year to 18 months away from the first team. so to sign an average player like barton and pretend he's a creative midfielder because he can cross is a complete waste of time and money. we don't need a CM and we definitely don't need to buy a CM and then play him as a winger
