Anyone know if taka is coming back?
You're not at all wrong Toshin, Hendo is our best No6, Thiago has now adapted and slotted in at RCM, although I think we still need a more direct attacking RCM as Keita, Oxlade, Minamino and Shaq were supposed to be for certain games, so we absolutely need that player.
Milner can't play lots of games back to back and can't play the controller role to the level that Gini and Hendo can, I expect Hendo to be better in the controller role than Gini because he has a lot more passing wise, but we HAVE to sign another CM who can play the Gini controller role to the same high levels and who offers more passing wise as Hendo does
Gini was also our third No6, both Hendo and Fab have had medium term injuries the past 2 seasons, so there is the potential we could face a situation at some stage in which we are without both Hendo and Fab, hopefully not, but in that eventuality we'd have no No6 and no controller
Our best midfield as it stands, even though hendo's our best No6 is
Hendo Fabinho Thiago
Milner's the only one who provide a pretty high level of cover for 2 of those players although not for the No6 position and he now seems to pick up injuries is he plays 3 games in a row, so we absolutely fucking NEED to bring 2 TWO CMs in during this window or as you state, we could easily end up in the same position with quality CMs that we did with CBs last season, I'd be infinitely more comfortable if Phillips had to play a run of games at CB than I would Jones, Ox, Keita or Minamino playing a run of games at CM
