We generally need someone who can play the killer pass in the hole

regardless of whether they can play up front. However, I do agree that Toivonen or Quag would be ideal. Two birds with one stone.

You're probably correct in saying that teams like Citeh will want their young'uns to start regularly, probably not much chance of that happening here. Still, in financial terms it would make sense. Maybe we need to aim for someone with less quality? Harry Kane again? LOL /trolling

Fer can score goals so I would be happy with him playing that role, but again I don't think he has the vision for the killer pass. We really lack that quality within our squad. Regardless, he's definitely an option to consider.

We really should be playing Hooper and RVW in home games against the strugglers, there's no real need to play two CDM's against teams like Hull who will defend for their lives under Bruce.

Martin is CB good cover for a few games, but I wouldn't want him to play there every week like he did in 11/12. Bassong having a long term injury would be a nightmare.
