Just read that Lewis Warrington's contract expires in June 2024 and yet they've loaned him to Plymouth for the season. So basically they've let Warrington (a tackling CM who always looks to play a forward pass and would die for the club) leave for nothing as he's out of contract in June 2024. And yet they offered Davies (a CM who doesn't tackle and seldom plays a forward pass) an extension to his contract - so they clearly recognise that we need squad players for CM. At present we only have Gana (33 - but in September he'll be 34 !), Onana (seems he wants out - and no one can blame him), Garner and Doucoure (30 but 31 in January) as CMs. Two injuries or suspensions and we're in trouble having no experienced CM to come into the team. What on earth is Dyche doing in all this? If he told Thelwell we need 2 squad CM players to cover injuries and suspensions then surely Warrington wouldn't have been allowed to go out on loan until we had some players in. And today we read we are linked with a Birmingham City lad who plays CM and is 18 with a handful of games but he doesn't want to join us. I have no doubt at the end of the transfer window in a blind panic we'll give a contract to some useless, half-arsed crock at £70k a week. What a shambles.
