Yep, it does feel to me as if that is the kind of player we're missing still. I think Herd's future is as a defender, myself, and I'm sure we'll see Clark settling into a CB role now and therefore not being an option in midfield. If we're going with two deeper central midfielders, there's a space for someone, I feel: at present, Delph alongside Karim looks our soundest best. For me, Ireland, Bannan, Johnson, Gardner, Carruthers and Holman mean we're fairly well covered in the more attacking midfield roles.
