If we're to sign another midfielder, it should be a Fleck alternative, and it should be a loan.
I don’t know much about this lad except his age - which is promising.
Seeing how we have lost Coutts and Brooks for a long time, we are obviously 2 short in a midfield which already looked a bit short of cover. A further injury to Lundstram, Fleck or Duffy, could be disastrous, so signing 2 decent midfielders seems a minimum requirement to me if we are serious about maintaining a promotion hope. Similarly, any sale of Fleck, Duffy or Lundstram would just not make sense unless the fee was astronomical and the player wanted to go.
In CW I trust!

As I said, I don’t know much about this lad, his strengths or weaknesses, but signing two decent midfielders seems a good idea to me.
Of course, at the moment this is only a rumour, albeit a strong one, but if CW wants him - that’s good enough for me - because for sure, CW will know all about him.
I don't see the problem, sorry. We want a squad with a depth of talented hungry young players, and so long as we can afford them all, that's what were getting aren't we?
We've got homegrown players coming through from U23, players developing on loans, and experienced players arriving on transfer to bolster the first team. I like how we are building for now and building for the future, not panic buying aging marquee players. The more I see, the more i'm getting the feeling (spider sense...female intuition...call it what you will...) that the work that Wilder is doing now, fully supported by the board (so it appears) is going to set us fair for years to come.
