carsley's generally had a very good season, but he ain't getting any younger. ideally a younger, more athletic, more technically gifted player could be brought in this summer to push carsley for his place & once established in the team, relegate carsley to the bench to provide cover. as suitsblue posted, there are suitable players, it's a matter of identifying & signing the right one.

Yep, plenty out there. No doubting the quality of any of those players.
I find it a bit interesting though that you didn't mention the price of any of those you listed above.
Could it be because that every one of those players is out of our price range, in both transfer fees and wages they'd demand?
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to have any one of those. But if we're being realistic, Carsley's doing the job for the amount he cost and what we're paying. When we upgrade that position, it'll probably in the same vein that Moyes has upgraded most of our other positions. Player on the cheap from the lower leagues, a diamond in the rough, one overlooked by the moneybags clubs.

i hope so, i love the way he picks up somewhat under-rated players & then they turn out to be a real asset to the squad.
Been really impressed with Lasana Diara since hes gone to pompey. But i guess id settle for Mascherano!

Granted that the prices in the transfer market have gone up substantially over the past years so if we want a proven international at that position, we'll have to pay a large amount to get one.
I just don't see Moyes paying 17M for a top drawer defensive midfielder.
For that position, I could see a "Cahill" or "Lescott" type of buy.
