Affelay as No. 10?

Ibrahim Affelay has all the qualities needed to be our main playmaker He was excellent before his injury and there is no reason why he cannot play a key role next season. I would go for James McCarthy from Everton (surely available in the summer)to form a solid hardworking base with Allen behind Affelay as the number 10. I am at a loss to understand why Affelay cannot get to start in midfield at the moment as he is able to pick as pass and is undoubtedly a class player.

We should be looking at McCarthy I agree, I imagine that old vinegar tits will be sniffing at him as well.

Aff isn't creative and Bojan doesn't look close to the player from his purple patch. aff is one of the most creative players we have ?????? Please let us have these creative stats! He's tidy but about as dangerous as 12 month old baby.

Abdelhak Nouri at Ajax He's your man 19 year old lightweight, will probably get destroyed in this league. Still a good talent.

I was speaking to a Fulham fan and he reckons Tom Cairneys been brilliant this year. Only 26 so should have his best years to come. Worth a punt?

Affelay has both talent and vision but when it comes to passing he is very reluctant to release the ball

Gylfi Sigurdsson is exactly what we need. Never understood why Arsenal or Man.Utd haven't been in for him. Consistently good season after season. He's a brilliant player, really top class
But for me IMO we need a Kante , Dier , Dembele type player more anything
If we could get intercepting the play quicker , get tackles in quicker , win the ball back quicker and get it out to arnie and Ramadan quicker , then that really would take us up a level .

Sigurdsson or similar certainly seems like the real deal.
And maybe give Shaq one more year - as No. 10?

I know what you're saying and think he's decent but not good enough for us. We shouldn't be taking punts at this level we should be signing someone we know is class.

Could Stefan Johansen at Fulham be an option? Have a closer look on Sunday when he will captain Norway against Northern Ireland.

Cairneys Sigurrdson McCarthey
getting some good suggestions now. They all seem like good "Hughes" signings if you know what I mean - rather than Imbula for example.
Although all 3 are hard to spell.

Yet another game which highlights how critical solving the midfield and number 10 conundrum is.
If Hughes can't find a solution out of:
Affelay Imbula Diouf Joselu Muniesa Bojan Shaqiri
then he needs shooting.

This lad is a good player. Only 24 and would do well in the Premier League I think. Think Saido might like his eye for the early through ball: You've sold me. Must confess, I'd never heard of him! Actually reminds me of imbula
