One of the few times I agree with you Dave haha!
It's mainly because a playmaker is all we are away from having one of the strongest starting XI's (when everyone is fit) in the league.
I had a debate with a few fans on Twitter yesterday who were saying they expected us to spend £30mil net this window.
My point is that the squad doesn't actually need a load of players and lots of spend. It needs quality. I genuinely think we'd be fine with the additions we have +Mori and a creative player - this one is essential. A forward would be brilliant but I think that will only happen if a good deal presents itself.
Lennon, ImO just isn't needed unless we shift McGeady. If take him but he's not essential.
We need to focus on the creative player first and foremost (presuming Mori is done) - even more so now that Clevs is injured and opens up that gap in our midfield where we should play our link-up player.
RM said in May that he wanted 4 players - possibly 5 - for the 1st team squad.
Del
Cleverley
Mori
Playmaker(???)
Plus:
Rodriguez
Holgate
Henen (though we already had him)
A bonus would be another forward. And then Lennon if there are departures.

not once have I said we were signing Evans. only if we were selling stones would we have signed him.
I'm saying we are signing januzai. I may he wrong and I hope we sign a better player

really cant see us buying a playmaker tbh - martinez is too wise to just throw £15m at someone we haven't properly scouted imo.
i just have no faith we actually had backup ideas. any other club would throw a wad of money, way over the odds at anyone and hope they turn out great. i think martinez is more the type to wait until january and try again with the kitty intact.
i thought this was going to be a great window. if dela keeps playing like he did at barnsley then it is not so bad to wait until jan, but i doubt it.

bloody hell mate if he hasn't had enough time to scout a few different players for that position after a whole year then theres an issue.

If only Gareth Bale first name was Sparg or Garps then we would have been onto a winner.
