Totally agree. Until we sign a defensive mid though, he'll be expected to play in that deeper role.

It's just a guess on my part but I think if Ross was told the budget could only stretch to one or the other he'd choose an attacking mid.
Mulgrew and Sibbald can both play the defensive midfield role. I agree with others about getting Levitt more advanced though, seems wasted at times playing further back.
Record suggesting fee agreed for Middleton.
Decent bit of business. Type of player we are needing. Hope he can hit the ground running. Has he had minutes for The Rangers during pre-season? Anyone know?
