I am in (slight) disagreement.
Midfield I would say needs strengthened as a slight priority over a forward. But (personal opinion, nothing more) I'd be wanting a "Fabinho-lite" rather than a "Coutinho-lite" as it were. Or if there is a "Kante-lite" out there.
In terms of numbers we're fine (Fabinho, Henderson, Thiago, Milner, Keita, Ox, Jones, Elliott) but a quality addition would be welcomed and there is (understandable) apprehension about the injury records of a couple of the afore-mentioned.
If we do spend reasonably "big" on such a player, I foresee it being the next (summer) window rather than now - Milner will almost certainly be gone and one of Ox or Keita possibly too, leaving us with with 6 players for 6 spots, rather than 8-for-6. If someone isn't doing too well (let's say Jones doesn't kick on this season) then that might be a prudent time to make a move.
