Watching the England game made me think that NCFC really need to add more quality in MF
We can't rely on attacking wide players (Ahmed, Diallo + whoever we sign on the right) to break down teams that park the bus. And if we're a top team, or viewed as one by other teams, we'll be dealing with teams sitting in most weeks at home.
We were excellent away from home last season, but adding another number 10 and / or a quality CM is going to be key to becoming an excellent team at home. Maghoma was decent last season, but not as productive as I'd hoped he might be. Maybe he'll be the difference? But I'd like an extra option, given there's no certainty over his ability to stay fit the whole season.
C'mon Knapper, pull something out of the bag.
