I actually do think we need two midfielders though. It's not our priority but we do need them.
We need somebody who can put his foot on the ball and pick a pass out.
And we need a presence. A steven Gerrard, a Roy Keane, a Vieira type.
Can, Hendo, and Milner are all too similar to each other. They will run all day for you and work their bollocks off but they aren't the greatest footballers and they don't bring a physical presence really either. Can MIGHT fill that physical role possibly but he is still not proven as a CM for us yet. As good as he has been playing RCB for us, I think he is actually a basic footballer. He reminds me of carragher in some ways and imagine Carra in the holding role! I think Can is more suited playing the game in front of him so playing from the back. I think we will get frustrated with Can at times next season if he is playing in midfield.
Joe Allen can go, he offers us nothing. If we can find a buyer then brendan needs to swallow some pride and let his Welsh xavi go. Some sh*t club like Villa will buy him for 7-8m.
Lucas can go too. I love him and think he is top class but don't think he will ever be fit enough to last a full season any more.
Bring in kovacic and then all we need is a big bully. Joey Barton on a free anyone ?
We do seriously need a player like Kovacic though. Too many times last season Coutinho looked lost because our sh*te players weren't on his wave length. Players like Kovacic will be.
