to challenge the likes of Nzonzi and Whelan for a starting place. At the moment we literally have no one who is serious competition to these guys. Still feel Nzonzi is hugely ineffective for us in home games against teams we need to break down with quick, incisive passing and movement. It's less of an issue away where we can sit deep and hit teams on the counter with our forward line. At home we are crying out for a midfielder who will drive play going forward, make things happen in an attacking sense while being able to dominate central areas defensively with discipline. Was disappointed we didn't address this in the summer but certainly feel we should be prepared to spend big on this area in January. (Along the lines of a Diame/Moussa Sissoko type- not that either would come). Think it should be our main priority along with a new CB.

So Yaya Toure on a budget essentially. Good luck with that.

Should be easy, dime a dozen what you're describing!

N`Zonzi played really well on Saturday and has had a real good season in my opinion. It's only his composure in and around the box that let's him down, the rest of his game is excellent.

We've missed out on a few cheapies already.
Kara Mbodj - once tracked by Arsenal. Moved from Norway to Genk (Where Alex McCleish is) for 2M Euro's. Absolute beast.
Kalidou Koulibaly - Sold from Genk to Napoli for 6M, but only two seasons ago went to Genk from Metz for 1M. Can play centre back or defensive midfield.
Khaleem Hyland - Another one at Genk. Trinidadian defensive midfielder. Cost Genk 1M three seasons ago.
Salif Sane - Moved to Hanover 96 last summer for 1.75M from a middle ranking French side.
Cheick Doukouré - Moved on a free to FC Metz from L'Orient. Only seen him once on a ropey stream but looked more than decent, certainly much better than Palacios in the wind...
There are players out there that can more than do us a job if we can find them.

Right now we need a centre halve and a striker who can hold the ball up to bring our walking midfield in to play

What rubbish (OP). If you think central midfield is our biggest problem you are deluded.
We have dominated midfield in several games this season, esp. since Sidwell has stepped up. N'Zonzi is class and has barely put a foot wrong this season (unless you are one of the 'up and at em' stokies who demand that every pass (hoof) must go towards the opposition goal). Whelan is playing his best football and is now fit again so we have options.
Don't get me wrong, if there are good players available out there then I amore than happy for them to sign, but our priority is not CM.

Priority is CF and CB in that order.
