When you look at the U-23 squad, we are actually OVER-blessed with central midfielders of this type. The way things have worked out, the young wingers have not come through or have moved on (Mahoney), but we are very well covered in all the other positions.
I wonder if Johnson and Dunn will be looking to address that deficiency
