Exactly, so you know it won't happen.
Personally I don't think we will sign another Central Midfielder. We seem set there with too many people as it is.
A striker at most.

Yeah, look at him, he looks like 6ft of pure muscle, doesn't he....really? He's slight and he's small.

Dier has exceeded expectations thusfar, but I would feel much more secure with another trustworthy option there, especially if Mason and Alli are going to spend time up front.
I've been saying that I think that our biggest hole is DM the entire time. Yes, we absolutely need a striker, but Poch was correct in saying that we still have options that we can play there. DM is pretty thin at the moment.
love to see wanyama in DM.My whole thing with this this is that I think that Toby's backup should be Dier. If Dier has to shift back to CB that forces us to go with Bentaleb at the moment as Dembele is injured.

CM with defensive attributes might be pretty thin, but CM's aren't.
Carol, Alli, Dembele, Bentaleb, Mason, Onomah, Winks, Dier.
Begs the question if we even play with a DM (I don't think we do) and if you think we do it leads us on to the question of why we have no DM's out of 8 CM's. Either:
A) We don't play with a DM
B) We do and Poch is an idiot for selling every DM we have
C) We do and Levy isn't giving Poch what he wants
Take your pick. From what I've seen and how every DM has been treated (Sandro, Capoue, Stambouli even Dembele being moved) I think A is the most likely.
It doesn't have to be some kind of pure destroyer but we were bleeding goals last year, which I don't think the talent of our back 4 and GK reflects (especially with the dramatic improvement from Rose). Even if you quibble over who is a true "DM" we need someone who at least makes a priority out of shielding the back 4 and helping them to be on the front foot, and is capable of doing so. In fact, we have been playing with a clear cut "DM" this year in Dier. While he's done a job, I don't think we can just hand him the keys after 4 decent games against average competition (ManU included).CM with defensive attributes might be pretty thin, but CM's aren't.

yesIm pretty sure I'm late to this but Pato follows Woolwich on Twitter. I even checked the people/groups he follows. So is it safe to say "fuck this guy"?
