fair point.
actually vish, been meaning to ask you for a while. in the January window we were both hoping for a dm even though we kept on being linked with wide and attacking players. now Stevie g is our dm (and doing a bloody good job) do you stl think we need a dm? I personally do. Stevie is not going to be able to do that job for the next few years in both league and champions league (too many games).
as much as I wanted a dm in jan, we're still leaking goals but I think Gerard is doing a great job...I think the problem might be at centre back. any thoughts?
Yes I still think we need a top DM who is much better than Lucas and not only to replace SG but also play alongside him. As you say, SG cannot play at a high intensity for a full season if he is there alone (though with Allen and Hendo in the team he is not abandoned alone which makes our team more solid defensively). If we are going to play with 4 attacking players (SASAS and Coutinho) a top dominating midfield player to play alonside SG would be great, but one who is also a good passer of the ball. Would have loved to get someone like Yohann Cabaye who can play anywhere in the centre of midfield, can defend, score and pass the ball.
