All the millions spent on Naismith, Canos, Klose, Oliveira, Pritchard and the one player

who would be absolutely key for us right now and this season would be my Garry O'Neill

O'Neil made whomever partnered him in Centre Mid a better player. Eg: Dorrans in containing Arsenal at home; Howson in our mini-revival in the run-in last year.

The fact that Tettey is an unquestioned first pick (if fit) despite being quite s**t and a serial relegatrix, when we have a hungry young lad in Thompson gagging to get on the pitch, is appalling.
