I'm not convinced that Frank wouldn't turn Wharton into a sideways-backwards passing merchant; but a deep playmaker is the most urgent need regardless of who's in charge. How many times have we seen this so far this season?

Bentancur and Paulinha are there. Neither want anything to do with the ball.
