We have Campbell & Gleeson who both prefer playing deeper in the "2" albeit different styles.
So I'd say a Christie/Maddison type.
McGinn would be a good shout for that role as he was good when played as a striker a few years back, so could adapt to the "10" role, however, pretty obvious DM sees him as a wide player.
I suspect the additional midfielder may well be a loanee later on in the window?
He seems happy to have one more prior to the Finnish QR1 tie.
He wanted "1 or 2" prior to the QR1 game - he has one signed.
When DM says syuff like that, he invariably has it virtually over the line.
A left back would be good, but get the feeling he'll wait a few weeks and see if we get Lowe back, which will be thrown up in to the air when Lampard leaves and Derby have a new manager who'll probably want to see all the players in training before he makes up his mind.
I suspect Max Lowe won't happen and that a plan B may be needed for left back - may be that bloke Ralph from Dundee that was mentioned a week or two ago.
