Nope, certainly not.

Although I have to say to those who say that we don't have any creative midfielders that Safri is capable of spraying the ball around and playing the killer pass, which will become evident next season.

As things stand I'd have Sidwell over Francis without a doubt. Probably in a 4-3-3 formation alongside Safri and Jarrett.

        agreed and one key fact is... (NCFC) - Brandonio, Jul 27, 23:38:02
      - He is a similar player, box to box, great engine and can score goals and tackle. (n/m) (NCFC) - The Baron, Jul 27, 23:35:52

    - He's probably the best we could get with the money. (NCFC) - d0mj4y, Jul 27, 23:33:20
      - Well I for one would like a right midfielder (NCFC) - RobertFleck, Jul 27, 23:42:33

        Centre Midfield is not a priority at the moment (NCFC) - RobertFleck, Jul 27, 23:50:32
        
        it IS if Francis leaves but we also need a RM and a CB (n/m) (NCFC) - oh arr, Jul 28, 05:12:44
        
        So I assume you don't think Marney will sign then? (NCFC) - d0mj4y, Jul 27, 23:55:51
        
        I hope we do (NCFC) - RobertFleck, Jul 27, 23:58:54
