Agreed but I think the squad is thinnest down the left - I meant that at centre mid I don't think he'd get in the team often enough to be worth the wages, a squad player on the left would get more game time.
I dont agree with this and I dont think Nicky Clee would either.
We dont need to strengthen left or right, we need to improve the bench and not spend anymore than that this year.
By improving the bench (which i feel is very weak) you are going to make competition for places more realistic and that iteself should be enough to push the team on.
I don't see why Nicky would argue with the fact (OK it's my opinion rather than fact) that we have less cover down the left than we do in the middle.
Cover in CM = Richman, Lacey (assuming Moult and Rogers are in first XI)
Cover at LB = Grimshaw, Leather - neither seem to have much confidence from LS in that position
Cover at LM = ?? anyone ?? Lawrie, Watmore, both better played elsewhere
I'm not disagreeing that the first XI (actually 13 with Leather) are good enough and we need cover, my point is there is no point getting cover in CM (Lewis is where this debate started) where we actually have a fight for places already. The squad player would ideally be able to cover for injury / suspension / resting of either Buzz or Nicky
