A Fabinho style midfielder - a quarterback that can break the lines.
We need a Barry Ferguson type and a goal scoring midfielder.
In the Zungu thread I've seen a lot of contrasting posts on what type of player we need in the middle of the park.. I'm sure we all agree that it's an area we need to strengthen.
A tough tackling enforcer?
Box to box?
Forward thinking/ goalscoring?
In my opinion we lack energy and drive from midfield so an athletic box to box would be ideal.
Jack, Davis & Kamara are all tidy on the ball & can all do a job sitting in front of a back four but it's very pedestrian at times.. for me only 1 of these 3 should be starting at any given time when playing the lesser teams.
For me Jack plays the holding role best, aka breaks play up, covers the full backs and keeps it simple.
Aribo will be given the freedom to get forward and support the forwards.
If we can find a third midfielder to compliment these two I think it will take us up another level and see us become a proper team capable of seriously challenging them over 38 games.
A young Graeme Souness would be playing for a European elite Club, as he did at the time.i would like a midfield enforcer who can also score goals, a young Graeme Souness would be perfect
We didn’t create enough chances in relation to our possessionThere's an implied criticism in some posts of our existing midfield that is going to be proved very wrong this season. Kamara and Jack strolled much of that last game, as did Aribo; any midfielder coming in will only add to the quality we have, but with additions we have made, particularly Roofe, the midfield that played against Aberdeen will have a huge role to play this season.
I think we will see Roofe enhance our midfield, even though he doesn't play there. Kamara has the potential to be the best midfielder in this league, and Roofe will compliment his game nicely. Kamara and Jack are going to get better as the season goes on; another addition will take the weight as well, but Jack and Kamara will do well this season.We didn’t create enough chances in relation to our possession
An absolute Powerhouse who will batter into folk and can bang it from 30 yards
