JOB I always like but doesn't have the engine to play alot in that position anymore. As regards to Man City they do have someone in that position either (was)Fernandinho, Rodri and now Philips to protect the back line. We could do with another wing back and for me another GK is a must. Slocombe is mostly good but think we can get better at this level as thought Patterson was an improvement. Maybe another loan there as well as long as he doesn't go back and forth all the time.
Totally agree with all that. I think we need a CM, basically another Yates, doesn’t need to be a bruiser, just a nuisance, which we don’t have. There’s probably an argument that Vincent could be that player with his energy as technically he’s good but not brilliant but I could actually see him playing that role if he concentrated on it else I think we need to find one.
As for Slocombe I think he took a bit of unfair stick start of last season, then he was playing second fiddle to 2 young keepers and tbf showed the character to get back in the side. Obviously if we can find another Patterson great as he’s looking like the No1 for a championship side now but if not I’m more than happy with Slocombe and actually thought he was pretty decent last season with the ball at his feet, I thought better than Jaros.
