We absolutely do need a central midfield player because although we do currently have options, we lack any sort of quality in the most vital area of the pitch. Every central midfield player currently on the books are bang average at best and we lose every single midfield battle no matter who we come up against.
If we're operating in limits mate - there are different positions id priorities myself, i don't think our resources are exhaustible be that internally or externally dictated and prioritising central midfield strikes me as a bit Jake O Brien.
