Still doesn't show a particular level of content with the current midfield options. He sounds like a Schneiderlin-lite, which means we are missing out on MS because of money, as per usual.

Never once heard about this guy.
Dem cheekbones doh.
We must have the most handsome team in the league by far

we are heavy in DM now. Sandro clearly not the same player.
Assuming Stambouli signs, we have the following players for the two CM spots:
Capoue, Sandro, Dembele, Paulinho, Bentaleb, Stambouli, Holtby.
That's just too many. At least two should be sold. As I see it we have pairs of Capoue/Sandro and Dembele/Bentaleb. So I would sell Paulinho and Holtby, with Stambouli left to fight his way into the team.
I respect your opinion too. So I guess we just have to agree to disagree.Fair enough. I (politely) disagree though. We have Capoue for sure, but is Benteleb really better then Sandro. And who else could play as our ball winner (who we have signed so far).
I like Holtby very much as a player, but just like GTS I can't see a position which he can make his own, where as I can with Sandro because he's done it before.
Saving ourselves about 20M, and getting a player who can also cover RB and CB.
Smart move.
To be fair, they were solid players for our squad at that time. Along with Sean Davis and Atouba...
Not Levy? Seems the cost is about 1/5 of a Schneiderlin.I smell Ian Broomfield all over this (apparent) Stamboli deal.
Out of that, I'd sell Paulinho for sure ... but knowing Sandro's injury problems and the African Cup of Nations (Bentaleb), I wouldn't want to sell too many... I do have a bad feeling Holtby will go though.
A mix of both then, perhaps ... But I'm just saying, we have actually bought pretty decent players overall, and so I wouldn't be surprised to find out that Broomfield was a strong factor in it. That fella has a really good eye for talent, with keeping price in mind.Not Levy? Seems the cost is about 1/5 of a Schneiderlin.
We're still overstuffed in CM though, maybe Holtby will be sold instead...
