Going to say this for the umpteenth transfer window in a row, but central midfield is where we need to make the big signing IMO, our midfield is pedestrian at best and has been for ages, we need another Cabaye basically. also for the umpteenth transfer window in a row, we need a left back (though i'd be happy with Willems).
basically; Willock, Armstrong, Willems and a top midfielder is my transfer window hitlist
Sums my thoughts up perfectly.
Another Cabaye would be exactly what we need. Someone who not only attack but defend, comfortable on the ball, can take us further up the pitch, energetic, mobile & technically gifted. Add to that someone who's physically strong, athletic & powerful would be the icing on the cake.. like a mix between a Cabaye, Yaya Toure, Moussa Dembele (ex-Tottenham midfield player) & Patrick Viera would be perfect.
I wouldn't mind someone like Armstrong or even Joshua King (if he doesn't extend his contract with Everton).. someone decent enough to deputize/partner/compete with Wilson & can chip in with a few goals to take off all the goalscoring burden on Wilson, as I don't see Joelinton or Gayle hitting double figures anytime soon.
Willock is essential.. need to sign him! For obvious reasons (goals, energy, off the ball movement, work rate) but the potential this kid has is immense, could develop into a beast of a box-to-box as time goes on & he improves other parts of his game (vision, passing, defending, tackling, etc).. could be a future England international & I hope it's with us.
