I think central midfield is our most pressing issue. I know we have quantity but we really do lack quality (and consistency) in that position. Perhaps what is fairer to say, is that the signing of Vecino on the face of it is a "more of the same" type of signing, which is unusual. I had a look at some numbers, and one site suggests he's actually been pretty poor this season (like at a lower level than our midfielders) but another site suggests if you look at a longer view he has been a decent players over a few years.

I've watched the obligatory clips of him, and what I would say is he seems quite mobile, tall and wants to pass the ball forward.

The difficulty is though, you have to get to a point where you trust your manager. He's obviously seen him a fair bit in Serie A and may well have been on his radar. I think when you have someone of the calibre of Ancelotti it does hold some weight (rightly or wrongly).

What I think it says to me though, is messes Delph, Schneiderlin and Sigurdsson I would say there is a long way back for. He clearly wants experience in that position. This is a player with a similar profile to those 3 (it's not a 23 year old who can hopefully come in and displace them). It doesn't say a lot about his confidence in them that he wants him to come in.

The age is a concern but if we could get 3-4 decent years out of him it would be totally worth it,
Davies I don't know what to do with that lad.
Morgan = garbage
Delph can be okay but very inconsistent AND injury prone.
Gomes = Rolls Royce
Gbamin = unknown
This signings feels like Ancelotti is getting someone he has seen and trust to do the job he specifically wants his midfielders to do which our current ones can't which is why this deal might happen.

I honestly don't know owt about him. But if he's survived in Serie A then he has to have something about him. If it's what we need, then we will see and it'll be on Ancelotti and Brands account. If he comes, I hope he's brilliant.
